"Third Uncle …" Hao Ren thought for a moment and said, "He should be in this area as well. I think I saw him during the written exam."
"Oh, really?" Zhao Guang was excited.
"With Third Uncle's strength, he should be able to break out. It will be easy to find him then, "Hao Ren said.
"Well, you are right." Zhao Guang lowered his head and thought for a few seconds. Then, he looked at Hao Ren and said, "I'll go to the Dragon God Shrine later. You can focus on the competition."
"Dad! Aren't you going to watch Hao Ren's competition? "Zhao Yanzi suddenly yelled.
"Hehe …" Zhao Guang smiled and didn't answer.
Hao Ren immediately sensed that Zhao Guang didn't have high expectations for his results. Zhao Guang came to the Dragon God Shrine this time to find Zhao Kuo and negotiate with the Dragon God Shrine.
"Elder Lu, Elder Sun, come with me," Zhao Guang looked back at Lu Qing and Sun Yun and said.
"Yes." The two elders hurried to follow Zhao Guang.
Seeing this, Zhao Yanzi hurried to stop Zhao Hongyu.
Zhao Hongyu looked down at Zhao Yanzi and smiled. "Ok, I'll stay here and watch the competition with you."
Zhao Yanzi was relieved since she thought Zhao Hongyu was going to the Dragon God Shrine as well.
As Zhao Guang led the two elders to the gate of the Dragon God Shrine, some of the cultivators who were participating in the general exams and the people who were watching the battles all recognized Zhao Guang.
"Isn't that Zhao Guang from the East Ocean Dragon Clan? Behind him are the two elders of East Ocean … Why is he here …"
For a moment, everyone was confused.
Two inspectors with four-clawed golden dragons embroidered on their robes walked out of the gate of the Dragon God Shrine and welcomed Zhao Guang and the two elders into the Dragon God Shrine.
In the hundreds of years since the Dragon God Shrine was established, no dragon cultivators other than inspectors had been allowed into the Dragon God Shrine, not even the dragon kings who ruled the dragon palaces! However, Zhao Guang had obviously made an exception this time!
The current dragon king of the East Ocean Dragon Clan, one of the four ocean dragon clans, entered the Dragon God Shrine alone with only two elders. All kinds of guesses shocked everyone.
Hao Ren watched Zhao Guang disappear into the gate of the Dragon God Shrine and was a bit worried.
However, on second thought, Zhao Guang's entrance into the Dragon God Shrine was probably a show for Zhao Kuo.
If Zhao Kuo were here, he would know that Zhao Guang was also at the Dragon God Shrine. If he wanted to know what Zhao Guang was negotiating with the Dragon God Shrine, he would find Zhao Guang himself. This was actually Zhao Guang's way of forcing Zhao Kuo to show up!
"Ren Yin 101! Ren Yin 102!" The inspector in charge of Hao Ren's arena yelled.
The two cultivators who were already prepared jumped onto the stage at the same time.
Hao Ren looked around and saw that some of the battles had already begun.
The combat examination wasn't like the academic examination where outsiders weren't allowed to enter. The elders of some of the cultivators who were participating in the competition all gathered around their respective arenas.
Tens of thousands of dragon cultivators had gathered in the eastern region of the Dragon God Shrine, not to mention the other three regions. Therefore, the Dragon God Shrine's general exams were indeed a grand event for dragon cultivators.
The elders who were responsible for the internal affairs of the dragon clans who were scattered around First Heaven rarely had the chance to meet each other. The Dragon God Shrine's general exams provided such a platform.
As for the cultivators who were recommended by various forces to participate in the Dragon God Shrine's general exams, they represented the top strength of each clan. Through their performance and results, the elders of each clan would be able to determine their clan's position in the overall Dragon Tribe. They would be able to decide if they should hide their strength and bide their time or actively expand.
Bang!
While Hao Ren was looking around, a cultivator in the Jing Zhe Arena fell from the arena.
The token on the waist of the cultivator who fell out of the arena rose automatically and went to the inspector's hand. Then, it quickly turned black.
The Zhen-level cultivator who fell to the ground was a bit annoyed. He quickly got up, brushed the dust off his body, and walked away.
There were no elders around him, which was enough to prove that this cultivator signed up for the general exams instead of being the 'future star' of one of the dragon clans.
While Hao Ren was looking at the cultivator's back, another pair of cultivators had entered the arena …
Bang! Bang!
Cultivators kept falling from the 24 arenas, and the first round of the elimination matches proceeded quickly.
"Ren Yin 245, Ren Yin 246!"
The inspector's voice sounded.
Hao Ren leaped onto the arena.
The other cultivator who was in his 40s lightly stepped on the ground and jumped onto the arena as well.
Hao Ren was wearing a brown robe with a silver dragon embroidered on the shoulder, and he instantly attracted everyone's attention.
Tens of thousands of cultivators gathered in the east exam area of the Dragon God Shrine, but there were only 24 small arenas where the battles were taking place. Therefore, each arena was the center of attention.
The arena was only one meter higher than the ground, but Hao Ren felt completely different when he was standing on the arena compared to when he was standing in the audience.
"Hao Ren, you can do it!" Xie Yujia clenched her fists and shouted.
Zhao Yanzi stood beside Zhao Hongyu and stared at Hao Ren with her big eyes.
Zhen Congming seemed indifferent, but he also glanced at Hao Ren.
The hunchbacked Premier Xia puffed out his chest and looked up at Hao Ren who was standing on the arena.
"Gongzi, you can do it!" Lu Linlin and Lu Lili shouted in unison. Their shouts attracted the attention of some of the young cultivators in the surroundings.
"Please …" The cultivator opposite Hao Ren made a fighting pose.
"Please!" Hao Ren took half a step back and made a fighting pose.
Whoosh!
This cultivator who looked to be in his 40s released a long sword from his palm.
Natal dharma treasure!
His aura was released immediately!
Gen-level!
In the blink of an eye, this Gen-level cultivator had dashed to Hao Ren's front!
Zhao Yanzi, who was standing below the arena, suddenly clenched Zhao Hongyu's hand.
Dang …
Hao Ren raised his right hand and blocked the sword with his bare hand!
If one looked closely, they would see a faint green light in Hao Ren's palm!
Hao Ren took half a step forward with his left foot and pushed out his right hand. The Gen-level cultivator's shoulder was hit by Hao Ren's palm. It seemed like it was just a light touch, but the cultivator was immediately sent flying!
Bang!
The Gen-level cultivator fell out of the arena and crashed into a few cultivators who were watching. He had to take a few steps back to stop himself from falling.
"Thank you!" Hao Ren cupped his hands and said without hesitation.
With one decisive move, he had neutralized his opponent's attack and pushed him out of the arena. Moreover, he was able to maintain a calm expression, which made him look like a master!
Zhao Hongyu had expected Hao Ren to win, but she didn't expect him to win so quickly. She was a bit surprised.
"Mom, Uncle is so powerful!" Seeing that Hao Ren defeated his opponent with one move, Zhao Yanzi grabbed Zhao Hongyu's arm and yelled in excitement.
Zhao Hongyu stared at Zhao Yanzi, and Zhao Yanzi immediately felt something was wrong. She immediately changed her words, "Hao Ren is so powerful …"
It was just that when she repeated it, she was no longer as excited as before.
Hao Ren jumped off the arena and looked up to watch the next match.
Zhao Hongyu looked at Hao Ren who looked very calm and admired him secretly. Not arrogant, calm, and smart, Hao Ren would become a great person in the future.
He didn't use the Light Splitting Sword Shadow Scroll because he wanted to hide his cultivation technique. He gathered his nature essence in his palms and used his fists to defeat his opponent so that he could save more of his nature essence for the next round of battles.
"Hao Ren is muddle-headed when it comes to small things, but when it comes to important things, he is meticulous and has clear strategies. He is much better than I thought."
Zhao Hongyu thought.
Hao Ren, who had returned to the ground, stared at the battle on the stage in silence.
"Hey, Uncle!" Zhao Yanzi walked over and bumped into Hao Ren when he didn't say anything.
Hao Ren was watching the battle attentively, and he was knocked forward a few steps by Zhao Yanzi.
"Zi!" Zhao Hongyu immediately reprimanded her.
Zhao Yanzi turned around. She had never seen Zhao Hongyu so stern before, so she immediately turned to Xie Yujia.
"Ren is judging his opponent. Don't disturb him," Zhao Hongyu continued.
Zhao Yanzi looked at Zhao Hongyu and then at Hao Ren.
At this moment, Hao Ren's face was cold, and his eyes were bright. The colder he was, the more handsome he looked.
It turned out that he wasn't here to watch the battle. He was here to see the characteristics of the cultivators' cultivation techniques and their defensive techniques because any cultivator could become Hao Ren's next opponent.
Zhao Yanzi suddenly understood. She shrunk her body and stood beside Xie Yujia.
No matter what, Hao Ren was representing the East Ocean Dragon Clan, and Zhao Yanzi hoped that he could perform well so that the East Ocean Dragon Clan wouldn't lose face.
On the arena, Ren Yin 247, who was on the right side of Hao Ren's room in the written exam, was also defeated.
With the defeat of half of the Ren Yin cultivators, the second round of battles began.
"Ren Yin 244, Ren Yin 246!"
Hao Ren entered the arena again. This time, he sent the Zhen-level cultivator flying with only two strikes.
"Ren Yin 246, Ren Yin 249!"
"Ren Yin 2100, Ren Yin 246!"
"Ren Yin 132, Ren Yin 246!"
As the inspectors called out, Hao Ren entered the arena again and again, and he sent his opponent out of the arena every time.
As she watched, Zhao Hongyu realized something.
Hao Ren was using the fundamental boxing techniques that all the soldiers of the East Ocean Dragon Clan knew!
As Hao Ren's winning streak continued to increase, Zhao Yanzi became more and more excited, and she couldn't help but cheer.
She hadn't realized it before, but now she suddenly realized that Hao Ren was so powerful!
All the cultivators couldn't take more than three strikes from Hao Ren!
"Good!"
When Hao Ren won another match, cheers suddenly erupted around the small arena with the words' Li Xia 'written on it, which was three arenas to the left.
A strong man with a black face and a black beard took a horse stance and knocked a Dui-level cultivator who was covered in yellow light out of the arena for more than ten meters!
Fundamental boxing techniques of the East Ocean Dragon Clan!
