The second round of the Literary Examination was still held in the original main hall, supervised by the same examiners and the mythical creatures, Bi'an and Fuxi. Fifteen desks and fifteen cushions were set up, and the examinees were still Chen Shi, the Young Master, and Zhang You.
This round of examination involved essay writing, with topics like "Integration of Civil and Military Strategies" and "Unification Theories".
Chen Shi chose the topic "Theory of Talismanic Magic Integration." After writing his name and origin, the petty official pondered for a moment before picking up the brush to write the essay for him.
Zhang You also selected a topic and handed it to the petty official beside him. He glanced at Chen Shi and the Young Master ahead and smiled, saying, "Have you two heard? Something major happened in the Inner City of the Western Capital yesterday night. Even my uncle was alarmed and personally went to Qianyang Street."
