The sun shone brightly, and the scales of the red-scaled dragon horse shone brightly. It ran like a stream of red light, quickly rushing out of Sanyuan Town and heading towards the royal capital.
"Stop..." Vaguely, Chen Zong seemed to hear a roar coming from a distance, full of strong unwillingness. Chen Zong recognized that it was the voice of Yu Wenran and others.
Ignoring it, the red-scaled dragon horse galloped away, leaving Yu Wenran and others in despair.
"Chase!" Yu Wenran gritted his teeth with hatred, gathered all his strength, and quickly rushed towards Sanyuan Town.
You can't catch up with Chen Zong with your legs alone. You can only return to the town and ride a red-scaled dragon horse.
However, when they rode on the red-scaled dragon horses to catch up with Chen Zong, Chen Zong was already far away from Sanyuan Town. In this case, unless the speed of the red-scaled dragon horses they were riding could be more than doubled, otherwise
Catching up with Chen Zong is simply a luxury hope.
…
"Eight assessment tasks means that there are only eight people at most who can pass the assessment." A middle-aged man wearing a luxurious gold and silver robe with a black dragon surrounding it said with a smile. He was one of the two kings who stayed in the royal capital.
One Black Dragon King.
"Maybe only five or six." The Purple Dragon King said with a smile. Each of the eight assessment tasks is not easy and may even be life-threatening.
Even if no one dies, it is still very difficult to complete.
"Just wait, the results will be available in about ten days or so." The Black Dragon King smiled, but he was thinking about his son Yu Wenran.
Yu Wenran was not an only son, but one of several children, but he was the one with the best talent and potential. He valued him and had high hopes for him.
The assessment task chosen by Yu Wenran was to hunt down Hua Xima Qianli, and the Black Dragon King knew it very well, so he felt that the person who would complete this assessment task would definitely be Yu Wenran.
Outside the outer city of the royal capital, a red stream of light approached quickly, followed by several red streams of light hundreds of meters apart, as if chasing the figure in front.
"Quick, quick, don't let him enter the city."
"Catch him, otherwise it will be too late once we enter the city."
However, they were hundreds of meters apart and couldn't outpace the other party. In the end, they could only watch the other party rush to the city gate, and then, after passing the verification of the guards, enter the outer city of the royal capital.
"Damn it!"
The pursuers were all filled with resentment, especially when the opponent entered the outer city gate and looked back with a half-smiling expression on his face. He was very proud, as if he was provoking, but he was helpless.
No one dares to use force within the royal capital. No matter who it is, the consequences will be very serious, especially for examiners like them. If they use force, they will be immediately disqualified.
"Haha, national warrior, this is what I once had in my army bag." The man who walked into the outer city laughed secretly and was very excited.
More than ninety people are vying for the qualifications of a National Scholar. There are a total of eight assessment tasks. Now he has completed one. Although he will have to compete with other assessors later, he has won one of the three National Scholar quotas with his four-star extreme combat power.
One, it shouldn’t be difficult.
This was Zeng Zhanjun's idea.
At this time, several people who were staying outside the royal capital city saw a red figure approaching quickly and rushing towards the city gate.
"Who is that?"
"It seems to be Chen Zong, the newly promoted prefecture-level cabinet member of Qunlong Pavilion."
"Did he also complete the assessment task?"
"It's impossible. I remember their mission. It seemed that they also had Crown Prince Yu Wenran. How powerful the Crown Prince is. Everyone knows that Chen Zong cannot be the Crown Prince's opponent."
While everyone was talking in the air, Chen Zong rode a red-scaled dragon horse and passed by them quickly. Their eyes also swept over, and their pupils shrank because they saw a bulging package carried by the red-scaled dragon horse.
"Could it be..." These people looked at each other and saw the horror in each other's eyes. They felt incredible and their heads were dizzy.
Overcoming the crowd, Chen Zong crossed the city gate and entered the outer city, finally heaving a sigh of relief.
Once here, there is no need to worry about Yu Wenran and others catching up and snatching Ma Qianli's head.
After relaxing, Chen Zong thought about the battle between himself and Ma Qianli, especially the feeling of the body and sword becoming one.
I have just understood and mastered it now, and there is still a lot of room for improvement.
Enter the inner city and go straight to the Guan Mansion. First, return the red-scaled dragon horse, the fierce dragon bow, and the water-splitting arrow to the Guan Mansion. At the same time, you are informed that a water-splitting arrow has been lost.
"No problem." Marquis Zhengyuan was calm and calm, but his eyes fell on the package held by Chen Zong in his left hand: "Is that something for the assessment mission?"
"Exactly." Chen Zong responded.
"Okay." A smile appeared on Marquis Zhengyuan's face, and he became increasingly satisfied with the disciples his younger brother had accepted.
Previously, it was for the sake of his younger brother that Guan Yunxiao recommended Chen Zong to participate in the assessment of Qunlong Pavilion. He originally thought that Chen Zong might not be able to pass the assessment. The assessment for geniuses outside the capital would be more difficult than that for geniuses in the capital.
Even if you can pass a level, at best you can only get the status of a human-level cabinet member.
Unexpectedly, Chen Zong could actually get a prefecture-level cabinet member, which is equal to the potential of a heaven-level cabinet member.
It was precisely because of this that Marquis Zhengyuan was willing to lend Chen Zong the Lie Jiao Bow and the Water Dividing Arrow.
However, although Chen Zong's talent and potential are very high, after all, his combat power is not strong enough. It is very difficult to stand out among the crowd. The possibility of completing the assessment task is very low. After all, the other participants are all talented and
The potential is not weak, and the combat power is amazing.
But now, after learning that Chen Zong had completed the assessment task, it was impossible not to be surprised, but more satisfied. Therefore, Marquis Zhengyuan didn't care at all about the loss of a water-splitting arrow.
Chen Zong bid farewell to Marquis Zhengyuan, left Guan Mansion with Ma Qianli's head, and quickly headed to the Panlong Hall of the palace.
The moment Chen Zong entered the Panlong Palace, four eyes swept over him and fell on his face. Two of them contained a deep and vast pressure as deep as an abyss and a prison, as if they were all over him inside and out.
see through.
One came from the Purple Dragon King, and the other came from a middle-aged man in a black dragon gold and silver robe. Chen Zong guessed his identity at once - the Black Dragon King.
The Purple Dragon King gives people the feeling of being majestic and noble, while the Black Dragon King's majesty is domineering.
The other two eyes were of two young men in their early twenties, who seemed to have completed the assessment task.
"What's your name? What's the assessment task?" Purple Dragon King asked, but his eyes fell on the package held in Chen Zong's hand.
"Back to the Purple Dragon King, my name is Chen Zong, and my assessment task is to hunt down Hua Xima Qianli." Chen Zong bowed slightly and saluted.
Hearing Chen Zong's words, the Black Dragon King's expression changed slightly, and his eyes shined with astonishing sharpness.
Chen Zong only felt his whole body tighten, as if he was bound by an invisible and extremely powerful force, and he was also under inexplicable pressure. It was as if his whole body was suddenly thrown into an endless abyss, falling continuously, and would sink forever.
Even if he comprehends the unity of body and sword and reaches the second level, he still cannot resist at all.
This is the power of a strong person in the extraordinary realm.
Suddenly, Chen Zong felt himself being pulled back by an invisible force. He broke out in a cold sweat and turned pale.
"Brother Wang, the assessment is all based on ability." The Purple Dragon King opened his mouth and said with a slight smile, but the Black Dragon King snorted coldly, glanced sideways at Chen Zong, and said nothing.
Chen Zong knew that it was the Black Dragon King who gave him that feeling, and it was the Purple Dragon King who helped him.
"Chen Zong, I remember your name." Purple Dragon King smiled at Chen Zong.
There is a huge difference between the world below the extraordinary realm and the extraordinary realm. A strong person in the extraordinary realm often does not care about the person below the extraordinary realm. It is like an ant. It is an honor to be able to let a strong person in the extraordinary realm say I will remember your name. What’s more?
A state of strength training.
The Purple Dragon King said this because Chen Zong completed this assessment task. You must know that in this assessment task, Yu Wenran's combat power is amazing. He has already been recognized as the completer of the assessment task, and everyone else will be reduced to
As a foil, in the end, Yu Wenran will be one of the three national scholars.
Now, completely unexpectedly, Chen Zong completed the assessment task of chasing Hua Xima Qianli. Naturally, Yu Wenran failed and was eliminated.
"If you let me know that you used some conspiracy to complete the assessment task, you will be responsible for the consequences." The Black Dragon King glanced at Chen Zong again and said coldly, every word with astonishing oppression, like a thunderstorm
He wanted to destroy Chen Zong.
Fortunately, Chen Zong's spirit and will were very strong, and with a little help from the Purple Dragon King, everything was fine.
After saying that, the Black Dragon King turned around and left the Panlong Palace. Since his son was eliminated, why did he stay?
"You don't have to take my brother Wang's attitude to heart." The Purple Dragon King smiled.
"I don't dare." Chen Zong replied unhurriedly.
The Purple Dragon King couldn't help but shook his head slightly and smiled, "I don't dare." Chen Zong's answer was very interesting. He said he didn't dare, not that he wouldn't.
I don’t dare, because my cultivation is not as good as my strength and my status is not as good, so I don’t dare, but I still feel dissatisfied in my heart. To put it bluntly, if it weren’t for the help of the Purple Dragon King, Chen Zong’s spiritual will would have been traumatized by now.
It is normal for Chen Zong to feel dissatisfied, but Chen Zong also knows that the differences between them are too great and there is no comparison at all, so he can only bear it silently and leave it to the future.
The Black Dragon King could actually see something, but he didn't care. In the final analysis, he was just an ant. No matter how high his talent or potential, it was not his strength after all.
The extraordinary realm is the difference between heaven and earth, and the gap is indescribable.
Even those who are in the so-called pseudo-extraordinary realm are actually not taken seriously by those who are truly in the extraordinary realm.
The Purple Dragon King didn't care about Chen Zong's attitude. It didn't matter whether he was dissatisfied or not.
Chen Zong handed over the head of Hua Xie Ma Qianli, and the Purple Dragon King knew the truth after taking a look at it.
"Okay, the assessment time is one month, and there are still more than ten days left. You all go back and wait for notification." The Purple Dragon King said.
The three of them bowed to the Purple Dragon King and said goodbye, turning around and leaving the Panlong Palace.
"Zeng Zhanjun...Jiang Tianmu..." Chen Zong knew that these two people might become his rivals for the title of National Scholar.
"There are still ten days left. I can practice hard and strive to further improve my cultivation and make my combat power stronger. By then, I will be more confident in winning the title of National Scholar."
After returning to Guan Mansion and meeting Marquis Zhengyuan, Chen Zong went directly back to Hongfeng Garden and began a small retreat.
