The purpose of the imperial examination is to select the best talents for the Great Luo Heavenly Dynasty and fill the official vacancies of the Great Luo Heavenly Dynasty. It is also an opportunity for all kinds of cultivators in the world to show their talents and join the Great Luo Heavenly Dynasty.
In the Great Luo Dynasty, there were many strong men, and they were divided into two types: literary examination and martial examination.
The martial arts test is very simple. As long as you are strong enough, you can be selected, but you can only enter the third class.
The imperial examination is divided into three categories, and there are only three in each category: number one, role model, and third overall. They belong to the best three.
Erjia, sixteen, belongs to the cultivators who are both civil and military, and are slightly inferior.
The top three, seventy-two, belong to partial subjects, and are either the strongest warriors or those who write beautiful articles.
Zhongshan's cultivation level is the sixth level of the golden elixir. With such a low cultivation level, there are only two possible outcomes. Either he is not in the third place and can convince everyone with his literary skills, or he can write a shocking work and have a peerless talent.
It overshadowed his cultivation level and made people ignore his cultivation level, reaching level one.
However, no matter how talented a person is, he must be able to defeat at least three people with the same level of cultivation as him.
Facing three people whose cultivation level was equal to his own? Zhong Shan was full of confidence.
On the day of the imperial examination, there was a grand gathering all over the world, and strong people gathered. These strong people were not only those rushing to take the examination, but also many secluded cultivators who came here to watch the grand spectacle of the imperial examination.
Because, every imperial examination will give birth to some amazing talents.
First, there is the martial arts test.
Zhong Shan has a reputation for self-awareness, so naturally he will not rush to be the first in repair, but directly choose the literary test and challenge the first class.
To challenge Yijia, you must first defeat three people with the same strength as yourself.
In front of a huge arena, there were a large number of spectators surrounding it. Princess Qianyou, Ah Da, and Ah Er were also watching patiently. In a remote corner, Zhong Zheng was also looking at the center with great admiration.
In the center of the ring, there were four people standing. Zhong Shan was holding a sword and was surrounded by three men in purple robes.
The three men in purple robes were just recruited from the army, because those who challenge the first level have never been below the Nascent Soul stage. Why are these people at the Golden Core stage joining in the fun? They are so young.
With a knife in his hand, Zhong Shan treated it calmly. Three golden elixir stage powerhouses surrounded him. If it were anyone else, he would have to be careful, because the three of them were all soldiers. They were all capable of fighting, even if they were just golden elixirs.
The strength of the sixth level is also murderous.
The three of them each grabbed their knives and looked coldly at Zhong Shan in the center. Their status as soldiers reminded them that they must not take it lightly at any time.
"Start~~~" the referee shouted.
The moment the referee finished shouting, four people on the field moved at the same time!
"Boom~~~Boom~~Boom~~Boom~~Boom~~~"
There was a series of loud noises, and countless thunder and lightning fell from the sky. Countless electric currents poured down from all directions, completely covering the center of the arena. A large amount of thunder and lightning overflowed, causing those watching on the periphery to quickly retreat. Quickly retreat. In the blink of an eye, the venue was cleared.
Come down.
Since the field is made of special materials, there is no loss, but the momentum is a bit scary. Is this the power of the sixth level of the golden elixir? The peak of the golden elixir, right? What kind of technique is this?
There were so many thunder and lightning that it obscured the scene inside. Everyone was stunned for a while. Except for those who came specifically to watch this game, most of them were in the Golden Core stage, and a very few were in the Nascent Soul stage, because this game could not catch the eyes of those powerful people.
.
However, this battle of the 'weak' shocked everyone present. Can I handle it?
“Bang~~”
Endless thunder and lightning exploded, and the scene inside was revealed again. It was exactly the same as before. Zhong Shan was holding a knife and was surrounded in the center. The three people surrounding him had their clothes slightly charred at this moment, and there was cold sweat on their faces.
DC, holding the big knife in his hand, was trembling slightly, not because of fear, but because his hand was a little exhausted.
"Promise!" Zhong Shan put away his sword and said softly.
The people on the periphery stared at Zhong Shan in the center with wide eyes. Is he stupid?
"Thank you, senior, for showing mercy!" The three of them clasped their fists at Zhong Shan at the same time.
The referee said with a hint of suspicion: "Zhong Shan wins!"
Zhong Zheng smiled excitedly and retreated, while Princess Qianyou was also clenching her fists with great excitement. Only those with low cultivation level still stared at this incredible scene.
One move? One move and it's over?
With a slight smile, Zhong Shan took the jade token handed over by the referee and retreated to Princess Qianyou.
Pushing aside the crowd, Zhong Shan flew towards the arena to see how the others were doing, amidst some pointing eyes.
Mr. Shui Jing also chose the literary test and directly defeated three people with similar cultivation levels to himself. Seeing Mr. Shui Jing walking down indifferently, Zhong Shan smiled slightly. Mr. Shui Jing was also very ambitious.
Mr. Shui Jing is in the Emperor's Realm. If he tries his best, there will be no problem in entering the second class. He gave up. He just wanted to show his literary talents and the way of literature. His ambition was to get three places in the first class.
In this way, Mr. Shui Jing also hides his true strength. No one knows how strong Mr. Shui Jing is, maybe only the Holy One can see it.
Never let anyone know everything about you, especially if everyone knows it. The more mysterious you are, the safer you are. The more public you are, the more dangerous you are. Zhong Shan has known this for a long time, and Mr. Shui Jing naturally knows it too, so what he shows to the outside world,
It's also something only within a certain limit.
"Congratulations Mr. Shui Jing." Zhong Shan smiled.
"I'm glad, I'm glad that I've met the princess." Mr. Shui Jing said immediately.
"Shui Jing, do you want to challenge for the number one spot?" Princess Qianyou said with a smile.
"Just trying it!" Mr. Shui Jing said modestly, shaking his feather fan.
Everyone was talking while walking towards other arenas.
"You challenge Yijia for my senior sister, right?" Princess Qianyou said with a smile.
Mr. Shui Jing smiled bitterly but said nothing.
"Actually, to this day, I am still very surprised. Back then, you had never met my senior sister. Why did you search for my senior sister everywhere based on some rumors? Even after the senior sister became the princess, you were willing to commit yourself to the Daxuan Palace? At that time, you had not yet
Have you met before?" Princess Qianyou asked doubtfully.
"No." Mr. Shui Jing shook his head and said.
No? I haven’t even met him in person, so I pursued him without any regrets? Just based on rumors?
"I checked Senior Sister's history. Senior Sister definitely didn't know you beforehand. Her memory has not been lost or sealed. Her life was very simple until she became a princess. How could you fall in love with her? It's rare to have such a thing.
Is it possible to fall in love with someone without looking at them?" Princess Qianyou asked doubtfully.
"Haha, forgive me, princess!" Mr. Shui Jing said with a wry smile.
Seeing Mr. Shui Jing's expression, Princess Qianyou also changed the topic at the right time, but Zhong Shan was a little weird. As Princess Qianyou said, Mr. Shui Jing's emotion was really inexplicable, but was it really inexplicable?
Not long after, everyone came to a larger valley. Outside the valley, a large number of cultivators were surrounding, and formations were set up. Among the formations, Qi Tianhou Gu Lin, wearing a purple gold crown with phoenix wings, and chain gold armor.
, stepping on lotus root silk, walking on clouds, holding a purple gold roll with a dragon pattern in his hand, holding a stick in one hand, Qi Tianhou looked arrogant.
The faces of the three Nascent Soul Stage experts who besieged him were swollen at this moment, and they were obviously hit by Qi Tianhou's stick.
Qi Tianhou thrust the purple gold stick with the dragon pattern into the ground.
"Boom~~~"
The valley shook for a while, and the three people surrounding him pinched their knives.
"You still won't admit defeat?" Qi Tianhou said with an arrogant smile.
Seeing this, Zhong Shan and his party completely understood that Qi Tianhou won, and it was just a cat and mouse game.
At this time, there was another valley in the distance, surrounded by a large number of cultivators.
Regarding the unsuspicious game here, the five people no longer looked at it, but quickly flew over.
"Shui Jing, what do you think of Gu Lin's recovery this time?" Princess Qianyou asked while flying.
"Very strong, very strong, not as good as Shui Jing." Mr. Shui Jing shook his head and said.
"Oh? Mr. Shui Jing actually gave such a high evaluation?" Zhong Shan frowned.
"Yes, Mr. Zhong Shan, you haven't seen Gu Lin's strength yet. I just saw it not long ago. This strength is not in terms of force. His strength has not yet reached its peak. I am talking about his wisdom.
There is also arrogance, but you should be able to see one thing, his title." Mr. Shui Jing said with a smile.
"Title? Qitian? There is only one heaven in the Great Luo Dynasty, and that is the current Holy Lord. Gu Lin was actually named 'Qi Tianhou'. Isn't that the same as the Holy Lord? Does this Qi Tianhou have anything else to hide from everyone?"
Zhong Shan said doubtfully.
"No, I have a guess, but it is not established yet. We can only look at it later. However, Mr. Zhong Shan does not need to worry. No matter how strong Qi Tianhou is, he still has a weakness, and this weakness happens to be Mr. Zhong Shan's strongest advantage.
"Mr. Shui Jing said.
"Oh? Mr. Shui Jing is joking." Zhong Shan shook his head and said.
"I'm telling the truth. I don't know how you developed this advantage. Even if I work hard for thousands of years, I'm still not as good as you, which makes you always invincible." Mr. Shui Jing looked at Zhong Shan solemnly.
's sigh.
"Oh? What? What makes sir invincible?" Princess Qianyou asked strangely.
Even Princess Qianyou didn't know what Mr. Shui Jing was talking about.
"Mr. Shui Jing is joking. With my little cultivation and a slightly flexible mind, sir, I must have got it wrong." Zhong Shan shook his head and said.
From Zhong Shan's tone, Mr. Shui Jing could also tell that Zhong Shan did it deliberately. Zhong Shan also knew his strongest advantage, but he just didn't want to admit it.
Princess Qianyou also stared at Mr. Shui Jing, but asked Mr. Shui Jing to speak.
In this way, Mr. Shui Jing could only smile bitterly and said: "Sir's advantage is not cultivation or wisdom, but I don't want to admit it, so it's inconvenient for me to say more."
Seeing that Mr. Shui Jing was unwilling to tell, Princess Qianyou looked at Zhong Shan with a slightly confused look. What other secrets does Zhong Shan have? Why does the more she gets to know him, the more secrets he has?
Absolute advantage? Of course Zhong Shan has an absolute advantage. It’s not identity, it’s not wisdom, it’s not the black jade talisman, it’s not the red luan pink lotus, it’s not the invisible clone, it’s not the wolf contract. I didn’t expect Mr. Shui Jing to see it, but...
If you can see it, you can see it. Even if Zhong Shan refuses to admit it, no one will believe it. Besides, it is still an intangible advantage.
