In the palace complex of the royal city, teams heading towards the assessment area speeded up and headed towards the Chuxiang Palace in the center.
There is a fixed assessment place for Otsuki once a year.
There are a total of nine arena martial arts venues, each dealing with Kyushu. Then the arena elimination will be carried out to finally select the truly top masters who can participate in the palace examination.
In other words, this is how the No. 1 pick, No. 2 pick, and No. 3 pick come about.
Completely different from these teams, Wei He and Mu Chengwei were walking on two other paths.
They detoured from the main road in the center and headed in from the left and right sides.
No matter how loud the war drums are outside or how loud the crowd is, it has nothing to do with them.
They have already been qualified for the imperial examination by default.
So just wait for the final final palace examination. In other words, they are not walking the same path as these warriors.
Following the road between the palaces and between the high walls, Wei He quickly came to the exclusive rest area designated for him by the military headquarters.
This seems to be a remote palace, with a small martial arts dojo, a bedroom for rest, an alchemy room for taking medicine, and a specialized masseur who can massage to relieve fatigue.
When Wei He arrived, Li Rong was sitting cross-legged in the martial arts field, waiting for him quietly.
"I just got news that the Buddhist side has given Mu Chengwei a lot of support. You must be careful when you go on stage. They find that Mu Chengwei's overall strength may not be as good as yours, and they will definitely use tricks."
Li Rong, dressed in white with a solemn expression, took out a small box from her chest and threw it to Wei He.
"This is for you. If you feel you can't beat it after a while, secretly crush it in your sleeve and it will penetrate into your skin.
But remember, the effect of the medicine can only last for thirty breaths at most. During these thirty breaths, you will not be afraid of pain, and your explosive power, speed, and strength will increase by 50% regardless of everything. But after thirty breaths, you will
Take off force. Be sure to use it with caution."
"Increase by 50%? Then I can increase the amount even if I use the secret skill?" Wei He asked.
"Yes. This medicine is not overdrafting your body and causing an explosion. It is purely consuming its own medicinal effects and the special substances it contains." Li Rong replied.
"Thank you, Master!" Wei He knew clearly that this kind of medicine must be extremely expensive.
At his level, he can add five levels in a short time, regardless of all conditions. Such a drug, if used many times, unlocks secret skills and awakening, and finally uses this drug, it will be a life.
That scene was simply unimaginable.
Carefully putting away the small box, Wei He sat cross-legged in front of Li Rong.
One is black and the other is white, and their appearance is quite eye-catching.
"Have you taken the medicine now?" Li Rong asked, "At which stage of true blood have you reached?"
If you take the Thirteen Strange Treasures, they will be very powerful. Coupled with Wang Xuan's level-breaking talent, you can even break through a small level at a minimum.
So she asked this question very easily.
"Already in the middle stage of true blood." Wei He didn't dare to say that he had achieved divine power. After all, his cultivation progressed so quickly before, and it was related to the strange particles from the outside world. He also needed to be calm.
True blood also needs to be fixed. However, the price of failure to fix the feeling is far less than that of true strength.
So a conservative answer is considered normal.
Li Rong heard this and nodded with satisfaction.
"That's good. I always feel that Buddhism won't just watch you win such a smooth palace examination this time. They will definitely cause trouble."
"It's okay, teacher, all conspiracies and tricks are meaningless given the absolute disparity in strength." Wei He said calmly.
"That's right. Well, the specific time for the palace examination will start after all the assessments are completed in the afternoon. The last three people selected by then will accept the final palace examination with you. By then, almost the top people in Oyue
, will all come to watch the battle.
You should be careful yourself, pay attention to your appearance, and don't be too casual. After all, most of the masters in the whole month will probably come here." Li Rong warned.
"Disciple understands." Wei He nodded.
The two then talked about some aspects of the martial arts realm.
Wei He got up and practiced for a while, then received constant corrections from Li Rong, and then got up and practiced again, and so on.
Time flew by, and cheers and cheers came one after another in the royal city.
There are even screams, imitating the howls of animals.
No one in the palace banned it.
Wei He simply stayed in the martial arts field, closed his eyes and rested his mind, waiting for the palace guards to announce the news.
At this time, Hanquan and the others must be in the area where the royal family is, waiting to watch the battle.
Li Chengji also arrived, coming from Baixiang City, as well as Xue Huo and others. After all, it was an annual festival, and it was also an important moment for the junior junior, so it was normal to come to support it.
However, no one came close to disturb Wei He. Instead, they gathered together from afar and chatted quietly.
Not long after, Li Rong seemed to have a mission and took orders to leave the martial arts field.
Only Wei He was left.
Hanquan also came not far away, and there were Zi Linjun and others beside him.
Several girls watched from a distance for a while, waiting with Wei He, and then, under the leadership of the guards, they went to the trial viewing area of the palace and entered in advance.
Wei He sat quietly cross-legged. Motionless, like a sculpture.
Time passes slowly.
The sky gradually changed from bright to dark.
Soon, a large shadow flew from the sky not far away.
It was a large black-feathered bird with a wingspan of more than four meters. This strange bird looked like a vulture, with no feathers on its long neck.
There is a dark red tumor on the top of the head, giving it a ferocious appearance.
On the back of the black-feathered bird is a soldier with a white background and gold trim.
"Wang Xuan of the Fentian Army, the palace examination will start in a quarter of an hour. Please go to Chuxiang Palace and prepare for admission."
The soldiers were condescending and quickly conveyed orders.
"Got it." Wei He responded, watching the black-feathered bird turn and fly in other directions.
He stood up and dusted off his clothes.
The time has come.
"Xuan'er." Li Rong appeared at the edge of the martial arts field, "Let's go."
"Yes." Wei He nodded.
Li Rong looked at Wei He's quiet face and felt a little dazed in her heart. The person in front of her could be said to be the most worry-free among the disciples she had accepted.
As long as you teach casually, you can quickly master it, and your martial arts realm will change every day, and your growth rate will be extremely fast.
Now, by accident, we have come to this step.
The limit-breaking bloodline... is really terrifying.
No wonder Modo back then was able to sweep across an era and was unrivaled.
True blood can achieve a golden body, the gap is really huge.
"After today, if everything goes well, you will officially command the newly formed Gathering Army. At that time, you will no longer belong to our Burning Heaven Army. In the future... you will have to make your own decisions whenever anything happens. Don't be careless in everything.
Guess, if my guess is correct, His Majesty will definitely assign you a staff-type lieutenant..."
Li Rong began to whisper her speculations about the future.
In her opinion, the result of this palace examination has actually been decided, and there is a high probability that Wei He will win.
As long as nothing unexpected happens.
Wei He listened peacefully and quietly.
With the speed of his cultivation, after becoming the General of Jusha, having the status of Prince Consort, and being highly regarded by Emperor Dingyuan, he will definitely improve by leaps and bounds again.
Therefore, in the eyes of outsiders, his future is bright and smooth at this time. As long as his body adapts to the true world and he completes concentration five times, he can make a smooth transition and step into the next realm.
One of them talked and the other listened, and soon they arrived at Chuxiang Palace in the center of the palace complex.
The Xiang Chu Palace, as its name suggests, was once famous for storing various spices purchased for the royal family.
Later, an imperial concubine discovered that living nearby and sleeping with the aroma could help her sleep better.
So a palace was built nearby as a resting place.
Later, after a series of changes and transformations, Chuxiang Palace gradually became a place for warriors to calm their spirits and break through the realm, and an extremely strong star array was also set up to protect the martial arts dojo.
This is the Kyushu Martial Arts Center.
Nine different martial arts venues, after a day of competition, the last three top young masters have been decided.
At this time, inside the Chuxiang Palace, the final Zhongzhou Martial Arts Arena was on the sidelines.
A group of members of the royal family, headed by Emperor Dingyuan of the royal family, were on a special viewing floor, looking down at the battle situation.
The Buddhists, under the leadership of Xi Sa, were at the other end of the martial arts field, opposing the royal family.
Nowadays, Xi Sa's strength has grown by leaps and bounds, and he is already known as the number one Buddhist sect under Modo.
The huge supply of resources, the limit-breaking talent, and the extremely high understanding, all combined, make his level of strength like riding the wind and waves, breaking through all seas, and rushing to an extremely high level in a very short period of time.
Then, there are representatives of the nine military departments and other warlord factions, marshals such as Bai Shanxin, Li Rong, Bilin, and General Gongsun Ru, who nominally commands the world's troops.
Like the civil servants and others led by the left and right ministers, they were all in an area close to the royal family.
Wei He, led by Li Rong, was currently standing in the Fentian Army camp, waiting quietly.
The Zhongzhou Martial Arts Center is circular in shape, and when viewed from a distance, it looks like a huge stone pillar with a diameter of hundreds of meters.
The entire martial arts gym is entirely made of giant white sound stones that are twelve meters high, and the surface is also coated with a thick layer of special glue.
Even after the previous assessment battle, there are still only some shallow traces left on the martial arts field at this time.
Special maintenance personnel would go up and repair it quickly, and then repair the damaged areas with glue.
At this time, the top three picks, the second pick, and the top pick, along with a group of top-ranked young masters, were kneeling on one knee and listening to Emperor Ding Yuan's chicken soup encouragement.
Then, a special ceremony officer came forward and introduced the various inspirational situations of the top three one by one, and announced the rewards given by Emperor Dingyuan on behalf of the royal family. The three of them were invited to sit in the viewing building together.
Finally, there is the palace examination called to add to the fun.
It's just that this link, which seems to be just for fun, has already changed its nature due to the confrontation of the Buddhist military department.
"Today is the occasion of the celebration. As usual, it is the time for the military and Buddhist sects to send out representatives to evolve their own martial arts techniques and intuitively explain the advantages of their respective styles to everyone."
The official of the Ministry of Rites shouted loudly.
He turned to look at the highest point of the Guanli Tower. After receiving confirmation from Emperor Dingyuan's eyes, the ceremony officer spoke again.
"Representatives from both sides please come forward!"
This was originally an opportunity to showcase one's own strengths, emphasis on martial arts style, etc. However, with the gradual evolution, it has now become a benchmark for measuring the future development strength of both parties.
They are also top talents cultivated by both parties, and they are their own answer sheet to the outside world.
Wei He stood up slowly, tied up his black hair, and walked forward slowly.
He could feel that the moment he stood up and walked out, there were countless eyes around him, focusing on him.
There are a lot of gazes, some are strong and some are weak, some are like sharp knives, and some are like threads.
