I prove immortality through human relations and sophistication

Chapter 214 Provincial martial arts test, the final round

Guo Wei didn't know what happened to Chu Linguang, but he knew that Chu Linguang would not lie.

No matter how difficult it is to pass the Three Yuan exam, since Chu Linguang wants to do it, he, as a master, will do his best to help Chu Linguang achieve his goal.

At this time, he didn't think about whether Chu Linguang could complete it, nor did he care whether the master and apprentice would become the laughing stock. In his heart, he just thought that since he already had a goal, he should go forward boldly. As for whether he could reach it. The end is another matter.

The evolution of his mental state allowed Chu Linguang to hear more responses in his heart. Some of the cultivation contents that he did not understand before were now awakened unconsciously.

Not only was the supernatural power of flesh and blood released, completely breaking away from the scope of marksmanship, but the second potential force, Shou, also began to change with the evolution of his state of mind.

Cultivation is to gain strength from responses and integrate various forces together to break through the shackles of the body.

The control of "slowness" of potential energy.

After Chu Linguang entered the realm of unity between man and nature, he discovered the response of this force through the guidance of the power of wind and waves, and successfully captured it.

But whether it is the power of wind and waves or the "slowness" of this potential energy, the initial release method is inseparable from the shooting technique.

The evolution of the state of mind allowed Chu Linguang's flesh and blood to resonate with the sea of ​​consciousness and heart, allowing the supernatural power of flesh and blood to be separated from the gunmanship and can be released through many methods such as boxing, knife, and stick.

At this time, the potential force "slowness" is also resonating with the sea of ​​consciousness and flesh and blood.

This was a special response that Chu Linguang could only hear after his state of mind evolved. He did not miss this rare opportunity.

Flip your palm.

Chu Linguang relied on his strong sense of perception to capture the air above his palm, and spread it around while turning his palm.

The power of slowness formed wave fragments that Chu Linguang could see at this moment, which were water lines.

Those water patterns are like layers of dams, making the airflow that is about to spread and gather outside feel like it is being delayed.

This potential force can finally escape the scope of marksmanship.

At this time, Chu Linguang moved his fingers, and a whirlwind appeared and surrounded his fingers.

That was the power of wind and waves. With regard to this power, Chu Linguang had not only broken away from his marksmanship, but he could also control it through the power of his consciousness to make the boat glide on the water.

At this time, he stirred up the power of tiny wind and waves, trying to merge the two potential energies together.

Once the fusion is successful, Chu Linguang's combat effectiveness will reach a higher level. Gradually, his attention will be on the fusion of wind and wave power and potential energy. He gradually ignores the fighting situation at the martial arts test site.

The day passed quickly and long.

Chu Linguang didn't know how many times he tried. It seemed that it took more than ten years to finally let the power of wind and waves and potential energy slowly merge together.

But when he came back to his senses, he realized that the second round of the martial arts test had just ended.

Everyone's results were also announced and ranked on the list.

What surprised Chu Linguang was that Yan Zhen only finished third, while he was ranked 11th outside the tenth place.

Ranking first is Hu Yuanwu.

At the first level of strength, he destroyed sixteen wooden stakes with one punch.

Neither Chu Linguang nor Yan Zhen lost to him in achieving first-class results.

But in the boxing assessment, Hu Yuanwu was the only candidate who defeated ten soldiers and nine candidates in the same group at the same time.

Ranked second was Ye Zhongsheng, who knocked down nine soldiers and eight candidates respectively.

Ranked third was Yan Zhen, who knocked down seven soldiers and eight candidates respectively.

Ranked fourth was Ma Weibing, who knocked down eight soldiers and seven candidates respectively.

Ranked fifth is Zhang Yan. She also knocked down eight soldiers and seven candidates, but she spent more time than Ma Weibing, so she ranked lower.

Ranked tenth is Nong Yiyi, also a female candidate. She defeated five soldiers and five candidates.

Chu Linguang temporarily ranked eleventh by defeating ten soldiers and one candidate.

This result content made Chu Linguang realize that the result of defeating the candidates was much greater than the result of defeating the soldiers.

"If you didn't show mercy, maybe you would be the first person now? Do you regret it later?"

Lin Longde asked.

He snatched an examinee and two soldiers from Yan Zhen's hands and achieved a second-class result.

"This is a martial arts exam. The competition is about fame and wealth, not making friends through martial arts. Even my brother only slowed down twenty breaths, and you only defeated one candidate."

Yan Chengdu came over and said.

Chu Linguang punched out, and the scene of ten soldiers and nine candidates squatting down almost at the same time was vividly seen by everyone. Although Hu Yuanwu won the first place, everyone was talking about Chu Linguang. Yan Chengdu and Lin Longde were both Chu Linguang Feeling worthless.

"Thank you, I'll pay attention next time."

Chu Linguang accepted the teachings with an open mind. He had an epiphany at the martial arts test site, his state of mind evolved, and his supernatural powers of flesh and blood were released in all aspects. At that time, he was as confident as Yan Zhen and did not regard the candidates around him as a threat.

Just take the time to get more responses from your body.

But what Yan Chengdu said is right. The martial arts examination is about fame and wealth, not making friends with martial arts. If you want to win Jie Yuan, you have to be at the top in every round, or even get first place. Only in this way can you get to the end and win. Compete for the qualifications to solve the problem.

"what!"

Suddenly, a scream came.

Chu Linguang turned around and saw Guo Wei squatting on the ground, treating an injured candidate.

"Bear with it."

Guo Wei reminded.

"Crack!"

"what!"

The bones were adjusted back to their original positions by Guo Wei, and the man screamed again.

"Brother Yuan?"

Chu Linguang went over to take a look and found that it was Lin Yuanfu. The shoulder bones were dislocated just now. Guo Wei helped him adjust them. He was lying on the ground with a stick tied to both feet. The bones in both legs were severely injured. At least he had to lie in bed to rest. months.

The martial arts test has only entered the second round.

Isn’t it Lin Yuanfu?

"Brother Yuan, how did it become like this?"

Chu Linguang looked at everyone.

Everyone looked at him in confusion. Did Chu Linguang not see the scene just now?

"Lin Guang has been in a special state of cultivation just now. He has no idea what happened behind the scenes in the examination room."

Guo Wei explained to everyone.

Chu Linguang was standing next to him just now. Others may not notice that Chu Linguang is strange, but it is impossible for Guo Wei not to notice.

He only came to treat Lin Yuanfu after Chu Linguang woke up from that special state.

"Brother Yuan met Hu Yuanwu in the second round. That guy was a beast. He was ruthless and unreasonable. Brother Yuan and several candidates in the same group had their hands and feet broken by him. Master Feng asked him why he did this. But he said that he had been practicing in Shiwanda Mountain all year round, and he made unmeasured moves and accidentally hurt everyone. Master Feng couldn't do anything to him without conclusive evidence."

Teng Qingshan explained for Lin Yuanfu.

Ever since he and Lin Yuanfu took off their hats for Chu Linguang together, the two had become very close and treated each other like brothers. He knew how much effort Lin Yuanfu had put in for this martial arts examination.

Now that he is seriously injured, it is no longer possible to continue competing. Even if the injury recovers, there will be hidden dangers in his legs, and he may never be ranked again.

You know, the imperial court has been revising the martial arts examination system. Each term is more difficult than the last. It is not that easy to pass the exam. Lin Yuanfu has already failed once, and this is the second time. The more times he fails, the more likely he is to pass. The chances of getting on the list are slimmer, because the examiners will make comprehensive evaluations and give more opportunities to those with potential. This is also the rule tacitly approved by the court.

Therefore, candidates like Lin Yuanfu and Wang Chao must exceed the passing mark if they want to be on the list. If they are only at the critical point, there is a high chance that they will be kicked off the list.

"I didn't offend him at all. He even took the initiative to talk to me at first and asked me if I knew you."

Lin Yuanfu said with tears streaming down his face.

Chu Linguang looked stunned and asked puzzledly: "What else did he say?"

"He saw a few of us talking and laughing in the preparation area, so he asked me if I knew you very well? I thought that you are equally talented and may have communicated in private. At the same time, I also wanted to use your relationship to get him to give more When I got the chance, I told him that you were my brother, but he didn’t expect that I was the most seriously injured among the nine people.”

Lin Yuanfu said angrily.

"I'm sorry, I caused you trouble."

Chu Linguang felt sorry. Lin Yuanfu had helped him. When he was away from home and encountered difficulties, Chu Linguang used his reputation to seek convenience. Chu Linguang completely understood, but he didn't expect that he would be more seriously injured because of him.

Obviously Hu Yuanwu did this because he was targeted at him? Otherwise, how could he ask Lin Yuanfu if he knew him.

"No, don't say that. I shouldn't use your reputation to make him go easy on me. The martial arts exam is about fame and fortune. I'm too naive."

Lin Yuanfu said with a look of shame.

"The martial arts examination is about fame and wealth." Hearing this sentence again, Chu Linguang was deeply touched. At this time, a sharp gaze appeared on the left side.

Chu Linguang turned around and found that the owner of that gaze was Hu Yuanwu.

Hu Yuanwu had a serious face and his eyes wanted to eat Chu Linguang. Although he won the first place, everyone was talking about Chu Linguang.

"Tell me, what should I do if your two senior brothers meet me at the martial arts test?"

Hu Yuanwu asked.

"Are we afraid of you?"

Black Tiger retorted.

"Young people should not act too impulsively."

Wang Chao reminded.

Chu Linguang looked at Lin Yuanfu's injuries again, and said calmly: "Maybe you will meet me."

"Then let this day come quickly!"

After Hu Yuanwu finished speaking, he turned around and left.

"He wants to piss you off."

Guo Wei said.

"He won't succeed."

Chu Linguang looked confident and his state of mind had evolved. He would not be easily disturbed by negative emotions. Of course, this did not mean that he had no temper or emotions. When his relatives and friends were threatened, he would take action when it was time to take action, just like dealing with Gu Er. If you are like Khan, you will kill if you should, and you cannot tolerate it all the time.

The evolution of his state of mind will only allow him to handle everything more rationally and avoid missing opportunities or paying a heavy price due to impulsiveness.

At this time, Chu Linguang is like a wolf. In order to catch the prey, he can lie in wait in the dark until the best opportunity appears and kill it with one strike.

The next day, the third round of the rural martial arts examination, a swordsmanship competition, came as scheduled.

The rules are also quite different from previous years, but the method is the same as the boxing competition. The only difference is that during the competition, five horses are prepared for ten candidates to compete.

Candidates who have grabbed the horse will continue to charge towards the ten soldiers on the ground. Whoever charges out faster will have a higher score. At the same time, those candidates who cannot grab the horse can continue to charge until they successfully charge out or are defeated. The government soldiers uniformed them, or they gave up on their own.

"Compared to the Taoist examination, the rural examination and martial arts examination seem to pay more attention to actual combat strength." Chu Linguang said to himself.

He remembered that in the martial arts test of the Taoist examination, the swordsmanship subjects were to listen to the sound of the sword, see the strength of the sword, and finally fight with the sword. However, in the martial arts examination of the rural examination, except for strength, it now seems that the other subjects are related to actual combat.

The day also passed quickly.

Neither Heihu nor Wang Chao met Hu Yuanwu. Both brothers' grades were pretty good. Although Heihu was injured, he held back his energy and successfully grabbed a horse. He was also the first to kill among the group. Out people.

As for Wang Chao, he also successfully grabbed a horse and charged out for the second time. Although it took longer than Black Tiger, during the charge, he was surrounded and successfully broke out. This level should be able to obtain a first-class result. It has a lot to do with his training with Yang Shaorong in the military camp. Guo Wei is very satisfied with his performance.

In this round, Chu Linguang appeared faster than Yan Zhen.

Without any surprise, he easily grabbed the war horse and drew out his sword. The powerful force of the sword scared ten soldiers to the side and rushed out as if there was no one around.

The same was true for Yan Zhen. The moment he mounted the horse, the ten soldiers thought it was a general descending from the sky. They were frightened by Yan Zhen's power and slashed out with his sword at will, cutting the weapons of two of them into two pieces. He dismounted his horse and roared all the way. He was moved by his momentum and wanted to follow Yan Zhen out of the examination room.

Feng Junyi, Fan Zhibian and others' eyes were shining brightly. Yan Zhen's sword technique had already formed a powerful force. It was beyond the scope of moves and any single strike could bring out the true power of the killer sword technique.

If he had the same personality as Hu Yuanwu, he could kill ten soldiers with just one blow.

After Yan Zhen finished the exam, it was Zhang Yan's turn soon. She also won the first place in the group and effortlessly fought her way out of the encirclement of the government soldiers.

Very popular in the field.

Then came Hu Yuanwu. This guy was extremely fierce and thunderous in the examination room. The candidates in the same group trembled when they saw him. Five horses were placed in front of him for him to choose from.

But Hu Yuanwu didn't appreciate it. He looked back and knocked down the nine candidates with a long sword, and knocked over the nine candidates with another sword. Then he rushed out on horseback and knocked over ten government soldiers with one sword.

After the ten soldiers got up, they chased and beat the nine seriously injured candidates. In the end, five candidates from Hu Yuanwu's group abstained, and the remaining four finally managed to break out of the encirclement.

Everyone saw this scene and felt that Hu Yuanwu was ruthless. Even if they didn't provoke him, they would be in trouble when they met him. They were praying in their hearts that the subsequent subjects could stay away from him, and his reputation became more and more famous.

The strong strength makes many people dare to be angry but dare not speak out.

In the evening, the swordsmanship competition ended.

Two quarters of an hour later, a new ranking appeared.

Hu Yuanwu continues to rank first.

Yan Zhen was second.

Ye Zhongsheng was third.

Zhang Yan was fourth.

Horse Guards fifth.

Chu Linguang ranked ninth, behind Nong Yiyi.

The rural martial arts test focuses on actual combat strength. As long as you stay in the top fifteen, you can go to the final round and have a one-on-one contest to compete for the top three and top ten.

Therefore, Chu Linguang and Yan Zhen are not in a hurry. As long as they can stay in the top fifteen, they can enter the final round and compete for the position of Jieyuan.

The days are fast.

In the blink of an eye, it was the fourth round of the martial arts test, the shooting competition.

This round is a cavalry charge.

You can bring your own horses to compete.

They are also a group of ten people, but they have to fight their way out of twenty soldiers, and each soldier is riding a war horse. This level not only tests everyone's marksmanship, but also tests everyone's riding skills and courage.

The performance measurement method is also relatively simple. It depends on who can defeat how many soldiers. The greater the number and the shorter the time, the higher the performance.

"Candidate Chu Linguang..."

Examiner registration.

"drive!"

Chu Linguang rode a little red horse and rushed towards the twenty soldiers who were also rushing towards him. He thrust out his spear and knocked the four soldiers off their horses with one thrust. He then swept across with another spear, rolling up the wind and waves. With great force, the five soldiers were thrown off their horses. From the corner of his eye, he caught sight of another soldier rushing up to him, even attacking him secretly. He used the fourth level of power in the Flying Leaf Lotus Spear to control the attack of the soldier and let the opponent's attack power hit the other side. Mingfu soldiers, easily break out of the siege, it is not too easy.

"boom!"

Yan Zhen simply swung his spear, but an arc of energy came out from the spear, knocking over a dozen of the soldiers who were blocking him to the ground. The remaining soldiers watched him in stunned silence as he rushed forward.

"what!"

Hu Yuanwu shouted loudly. The spear not only knocked down the government soldiers from their horses, but also flipped the horses and knocked down a group of government soldiers. The spear was light but heavy, like a ten thousand catty hammer. With just one shot, it could knock down the government soldiers. The iron spears in the soldiers' hands were bent and all came out, knocking the men and horses to the ground along with them.

Everyone was shocked by his courage. Not only the candidates in the same group were trembling, but the soldiers also wanted to avoid him.

The rankings at the end of the marksmanship competition have been updated again.

Hu Yuanwu ranked first again.

Yan Zhen ranked second.

The rankings of the top ten have not changed, with Chu Linguang continuing to rank ninth and Nong Yiyi ranking tenth.

The fifth round the next day surprised everyone.

The stick method was actually combined with the arrow method.

A group of ten people, holding iron rods, snatched bows and arrows from the soldiers, and then shot at the moving targets. The moving targets were hung on ropes and pulled together by multiple soldiers on both sides. There were five arrow targets on each rope. Hanging, a total of five ropes are arranged in parallel lines to pull the moving archery target back and forth.

Each person can only take three arrows.

Performance is measured based on the number of arrow targets hit and the length of time it takes to snatch the bow and arrow.

"Candidates Sun Wu, Liu Hanming, Yang Qixiao, Chu Linguang..."

"boom!"

The power of Chu Lin's Guangqi Sea Perfection Realm was like entering an uninhabited land. The way he charged forward made the soldier who was locked by him with a bow and arrow want to take off the bow and arrow and give it to him, for fear of meeting someone like Hu Yuanwu. .

"Crash!"

On the school field, the rope was pulled, and the archery target that fell on the rope began to rotate involuntarily during the pulling of the rope.

Chu Lin's light perception was covered, looking for the best opportunity to strike.

When he saw multiple archery targets lined up in a straight line, but for only a few blinks of an eye, he moved his whole body, quickly opened his bow and nocked an arrow, and shot three arrows in succession.

With the four-star arrow technique, each arrow shot out penetrated five arrow targets that were aligned in a straight line for only a few blinks of an eye, leaving a mark that belonged to him, Chu Linguang.

With every star level leap in archery, the difficulty factor will double.

Chu Linguang's ability to achieve the four-star continuum at such an age was mainly due to his outstanding power of the sea of ​​consciousness, while Guo Wei's six-star continuum could only be achieved through accumulation over time and with the help of bloodline magical powers.

In short, the four-star archery skills allowed Chu Linguang to rise several levels in this round's ranking, and he came behind Ma Weidong and became sixth.

As for Hu Yuanwu, he lost to both Yan Zhen and Chu Linguang in this level, but his comprehensive strength was relatively strong and he still ranked first. Yan Zhen ranked second. He and Chu Linguang had the same four-star arrow skills.

Chu Linguang was not surprised by this.

You know, Yan Chengdu was able to achieve a three-star continuation, and he tried to ride Juechen on the Nancheng Road. Yan Zhen, as his elder brother, had obviously been taught by an archery master since he was a child. Chu Linguang was not only not surprised when his archery skills reached a four-star continuation. , and even somewhat unexpectedly, in his imagination, Yan Zhen's archery technique might be in the realm of five-star continuation.

Now it seems that it is not that easy to cross the star level of archery. Even Yan Zhen cannot break through that easily.

At the end of the fifth round, the rural martial arts examination also came to an end.

On the sixth day, the rural martial arts examination entered its climax.

Today we not only need to select Jieyuan, but also the top three and top ten.

As for the people who entered the final round, there were only fifteen people in total, the top fifteen people in the overall ranking. Not only did each of these fifteen people achieve first-class results in every subject, but they were also among the best. Every round Everyone is first in the group at every level.

Only they are qualified to compete for the top ten and top three.

Examiner Feng Junyi once again announced the rules: "The top five in the overall ranking will automatically enter the top ten. The remaining ten, from sixth to fifteenth, will draw lots to determine their opponents. They will fight one-on-one in free combat. The winner will automatically enter the top ten. First."

"The numbers drawn are six and ten, and the person drawn is from eleventh to fifteenth. Whichever ranking you draw, you will compete with the person in that ranking."

"Wow!"

There was an uproar.

"I'm fifteenth. If I were picked sixth, wouldn't it be a little unfair to me?"

The fifteenth candidate muttered.

"There is no fairness at all. Some people have practiced martial arts for more than ten years, which is not as good as others who have practiced martial arts for two or three years. If you want fairness, let your strength speak for itself."

Feng Junyi said bluntly.

The candidate knew this was the reality and did not refute.

After a while.

A man came up with a wooden box. Feng Junyi said: "There are five wooden cards in the wooden box, with numbers from six to ten. Whichever number is drawn will be the opponent."

Hearing this, Chu Linguang and others looked at the wooden box.

He was ranked sixth. If he wanted to compete for the top three, he had to be in the top ten first. He found that the wooden box had special fluctuations emanating from it, which seemed to be able to prevent people from using their spiritual sense to detect it.

He had previously seen them releasing special waves from a stone tablet, a stone platform, and even a dragon claw tree at the Northern Trial Ground.

I didn’t expect that a wooden box can also release special waves. I don’t know what kind of wood it is made of?

"I'll come first!"

The fifteenth candidate went over first, reached into the wooden box, took out a wooden sign, quickly covered it, and walked to the corner to check it out.

His number was nine, so his opponent was ninth. He was secretly relieved.

The remaining four people did not hesitate.

They all took out a wooden sign from the wooden box.

Nong Yiyi finally took out the last wooden sign from the wooden box.

She turned over the wooden sign and was obviously surprised when she saw the numbers on it.

It turned out to be six.

"It turned out to be her."

Chu Linguang looked surprised.

Once the wooden sign left the wooden box, it could not stop his spiritual exploration, and he soon discovered that his opponent was Nong Yiyi.

Now, he already knows Nong Yiyi's identity. She is not the top one in the local area. She took part in the provincial examination for the second time. She participated in half of the test last time and failed due to physical abnormalities.

After three years of lurking, he returned with increasing strength. From the first round, he has always been the first in the group, ranking as high as tenth, and falling behind Chu Linguang several times.

Now she is eleventh and she is sixth.

"Please advise!"

Nong Yiyi took the initiative to turn the wooden sign over and show it to Chu Linguang.
