It was cold, extremely cold.
For the first time, Hao Ren felt that death was so close to him.
If the sword went in a few more inches, Hao Ren's forehead would be cut open.
This black sword was made of a strange stone at the foot of Kunlun Mountain. It was impervious to water, fire, and heavenly lightning, and its quality was even better than Su Han's White Jade Sword.
Hiss …
Wang Xi put away the black sword and hid it in his body.
"You are an assisting inspector." Wang Xi glanced at Hao Ren's forehead and waved his right hand in the direction of the cliff. The clothes were sucked into his hand, and he turned slightly in the air, putting the clothes on his body smoothly.
The Earth-Elemental Dragon's talent was Earth Escape. In the fierce battle, Wang Xi used her clothes and illusions to create a camouflage technique and a doppelganger technique to get under Hao Ren's feet and win the battle by surprise.
Hao Ren used the sword array to cover all directions, but he didn't use the defense on the ground.
Woo!
Seeing Wang Xi's provocative look, Little White was furious and was about to pounce at Wang Xi, but Hao Ren grabbed its mane.
Hao Ren didn't want to give up, but it was useless. If it were a life-and-death battle, Hao Ren would have been dead. It was a fact that his combat experience was inferior to Wang Xi's.
"If all the inspectors are at your level, it would be meaningless." Wang Xi continued to glare at Hao Ren coldly, and his aura of a Dui-level cultivator gradually disappeared.
The other Zhen-level cultivators around him heaved a sigh of relief. During the battle, the pressure of Dui-level that Wang Xi emitted almost suffocated them.
For dragon cultivators, the higher the level, the harder it was to cultivate. It was easy to reach Zhen-level, but few could reach Dui-level, which was equivalent to low-tier Nascent Soul Realm. If it were a force like River or Lake, a Dui-level cultivator could be an elder.
Hao Ren sat on Little White's back in silence.
"I'll participate in the Dragon God Shrine's general exams this year. If I meet you again, I won't go easy on you." Wang Xi turned to Wang Hui in the forest. "Let's go!"
Wang Hui ran to Wang Xi's side and followed him to the teleportation array. The four Zhen-level cultivators saw that the situation wasn't good, so they left as well.
Roar!
Unwilling to give up, Xiao Bai spat out another fireball, burning the nearby forest into ashes. It wanted to bite off Wang Xi's neck, but it knew that it couldn't beat him.
Hao Ren slowly turned around and looked at Wang Xi's figure in silence.
In theory, all dragon cultivators were qualified to become inspectors of the Dragon God Shrine. To become an inspector, one had to pass a series of exams, which were held every year. Some of the cultivators who took the exams signed up themselves, some were recommended by local forces, and some were recommended by the Dragon God Shrine. Some were like Hao Ren, who became the assistant of an official inspector and was recommended by the official inspector to take the exams.
The Dragon God Shrine's general exams were divided into written exams and combat exams. The written exam wasn't difficult. As long as one was familiar with the basic situation of the Dragon Tribe and knew the rules of the inspectors, they would be able to pass.
The real competition was the combat examination. Masters from Zhen-level to Qian-level would gather at the Dragon God Shrine. After rounds of battles, the top ten would become official inspectors, and the remaining 40 would become assistant inspectors.
Back then, Su Han had advanced all the way to the Dragon God Shrine as a Kun-level cultivator and finally became an official inspector.
For the four ocean dragon palaces, their status was similar to that of the Dragon God Shrine, and their core members weren't keen on participating in the Dragon God Shrine's exams. For the other dragon clans, the more inspectors they had in the Dragon God Shrine, the more weight their words carried.
The inspectors worked for the Dragon God Shrine and were known to be impartial, but they were always biased. For example, Su Han grew up in the East Ocean Dragon Clan and was relatively tolerant of the East Ocean Dragon Clan.
Without a doubt, Wang Xi was an elite trained by the Earth-Elemental Dragon Clan on Wuyi Mountain. They hoped that he could fight his way through this year's exams and become an official inspector.
"Dui-level …"
Hao Ren murmured to himself. He released a sword energy from his palm and cut down a patch of forest.
With only one realm between them, Hao Ren and Little White tried their best, but they couldn't hurt Wang Xi at all. It didn't feel good to have Wang Xi's sword pointed at his forehead.
Strength! Everything came back to strength!
Bam!
The teleportation array lit up again.
Wearing a traditional Chinese suit, Elder Sun stood on the round teleportation array and walked swiftly toward the valley. Although he was short, he looked very refined.
"Elder Sun," Hao Ren smiled awkwardly when he saw Elder Sun walking toward him.
Elder Sun smiled at Hao Ren and said, "Gongzi Hao, you are very powerful."
Hao Ren looked around and felt even more awkward.
"I'm not talking about that." Elder Sun put his hands behind his back and said, "I'm talking about the destruction of the West Ocean Dragon Palace."
"Oh?" Hao Ren was surprised by the sudden change of topic.
"The news that you and little daoist Zhen destroyed half of the West Ocean Dragon Palace has spread out. The reactions from all sides are very shocking, "Elder Sun said in a low voice.
Hao Ren sensed the significance of this topic, so he immediately focused his attention on Elder Sun.
Sure enough, Elder Sun continued, "The entire Dragon Tribe, especially our Water-Elemental Dragon Tribe, is talking about this matter. There are also some scattered river forces that have begun to contact each other closely to discuss the corresponding countermeasures. "
"Countermeasures?" Hao Ren didn't understand.
"If you can destroy the West Ocean Dragon Palace, who else can be safe? If little daoist Zhen is on a whim and plunder West Ocean, he can also plunder South Ocean and then burn down the Dongting Lake Dragon Palace … "Elder Sun continued.
Hearing this, Hao Ren understood. Zhen Congming destroyed half of the West Ocean Dragon Palace in a fit of rage, which made the other forces feel insecure.
At this moment, some forces took the opportunity to spread rumors about the threat of East Ocean, which would make other forces wary of the East Ocean Dragon Palace and isolate the East Ocean Dragon Palace.
Hao Ren didn't expect that he would bring so much trouble to East Ocean after severely damaging the West Ocean Dragon Palace.
The South Ocean Dragon Clan and the North Ocean Dragon Clan didn't take the opportunity to fight for the territories and resources of the West Ocean Dragon Palace. Instead, they joined forces with the West Ocean Dragon Palace to fight against the East Ocean Dragon Palace.
The other small forces also joined forces with the East Ocean Dragon Palace before it expanded aggressively.
At this moment, if they attacked the West Ocean Dragon Clan again, it would confirm the ambition of East Ocean. If they allowed the East Ocean Dragon Clan to unite, the East Ocean Dragon Clan would lose the support of many small forces and communicate with the other big forces, and the gradual decline of the East Ocean Dragon Clan was expected.
Seeing Hao Ren's frown, Elder Sun thought for a moment and comforted him, "Gongzi Hao, you don't have to worry too much. The West Ocean Dragon Palace won't recover in 30 to 50 years, which is a good thing for us. However, we can't be buried with the West Ocean Dragon Palace and must maintain our status. There are only two ways to solve this situation. First, we can hold the Dragon Tribe Conference in advance to show our stance. Second, we can have a Heavenly Dragon Realm master in one year and suppress the four oceans. It's just that Third Master's failure to ascend is already a secret that everyone knows. "
"Show our stance? What stance?" Hao Ren asked.
Elder Sun hesitated for a few seconds and finally answered, "We show that we have no intention of doing evil. If we are forced by the situation, then … Well, Gongzi Hao, please treat Ms. Zi well. "
