In the Jinshi hunting ground, the Jinshi of the Ten Nations were scattered everywhere and looking at each other.
The atmosphere was a little strange.
Many Jinshi of the four established nations, namely Shu Nation, Qi Nation, Yun Nation, and Wu Guo, smiled and looked at the other nations.
The rankings of the Ten Nations Grand Tournament and the Jinshi Spring Hunt had always been very close over the years. For more than a hundred years, the four established nations had been in the top four.
On the other hand, Jia Nation, Gyeongo, and Yue Nation had always been in the middle, while Jingguo, Gu Nation, and Shen Nation had always been at the bottom.
However, something major happened in the Ten Nations Grand Tournament last year. Gyeongo was squeezed out of the middle nations and became a low-tier nation, resulting in a large decrease in the number of admissions for this year's Jinshi.
Most people in Gyeongo had a love-hate relationship with Fang Yun. They loved him because of their respect for the strong, and they were also grateful to Fang Yun for increasing the overall strength of the human race. However, they hated Fang Yun for tormenting Gyeongo too much. Not only did he suppress a state, but he even squeezed Gyeongo out of the middle nations and became a great humiliation for the scholars of Gyeongo.
Jia Nation was also surpassed by Jingguo, but because it was still in the middle nations, the people of Jia Nation did not have much of a grudge against Fang Yun. However, the Lei family of Jia Nation hated Fang Yun to the core and the feud was too deep to be salvaged.
Among the Gyeongo Jinshi, one of them suddenly cupped his fists at Fang Yun and said, "I'm Xun Cong. Greetings, Fang Xusheng. Not only have I learned all of your poems, I've also read your masterpieces repeatedly. I don't have any personal grudges against you. For personal reasons, I should respect you, but for public reasons, I, a Jinshi of Gyeongo, must defeat Jingguo at all costs! If Gyeongo loses to Jingguo again in the Spring Hunt, we will definitely be criticized! "
Qi's Li Fanming unhurriedly said, "Is there a need for this? Everyone has heard of Fang Yun's battle on the Dragon Platform. Although the matter of him in the Celestial Trees cannot be spread, But everyone was well aware. Although Brother Xun's strength is close to that of Notre-Dame's Seven Scholars, he's probably a thousand Ji Zhibai's away from Fang Yun. I reckon that Jingguo will still surpass you in this spring hunt. "
All the Jinshi were stunned and looked at Ji Zhibai who was not far from Fang Yun. Most of the Jinshi controlled their expressions and did not laugh, but the Jinshi who were on good terms with Fang Yun did not hide their smiles.
This was especially true for those who had been greatly helped by Fang Yun in the Holy Ground. They hated Ji Zhibai to begin with. His laughter became even more unbridled.
Only one of Notre-Dame's Seven Scholars, Ji Shou-woo of King Wen's family, was looking into the distance of the hunting ground, the Eight Trigrams slowly rotating in his eyes. There was no trace of a smile on his face.
No matter how good Ji Zhibai's temper was, it was impossible for him to remain indifferent. He gently lowered his head, lowered his eyelids, and clenched his teeth tightly, affecting the muscles on his face.
"Don't talk so much." Fang Yun said to Li Fanming. It was not the time to talk about personal grudges, but the most intense competition between nations, second only to the battle of culture. Fang Yun knew what was important and what was not.
"Okay." Li Fanming smiled slightly, realizing that it was not appropriate for him to say such things.
However, Lei Li said, "Kid from Qi Nation, the wind in the ancient wilderness is strong, be careful not to sprain your tongue. The spring hunt is the spring hunt of a nation, not Fang Yun's alone! In last year's Ten Nations Grand Tournament, if Jia Nation and Gyeongo's Jinshi were not affected by Fang Yun, they would not have performed so well. How could we fall behind Jingguo again! "
"Lei Shikuang, Senior Lei, I know that you are not ordinary and I can't compare to you, but I can guarantee that this time, the Jing Country will be able to rank fifth and become the number one middle country after the four great countries!" Li Fanming smiled.
Lei Li was unmoved and said, "I know what tricks you are playing, but I won't argue with you. Before the spring hunt. Jia Nation's Jinshi has already made the decision to fight our way up a demon mountain! Even if we are all wiped out, we will not hesitate! "
Many Jinshi were moved and looked at the Jia Nation's Jinshi in shock.
Other places were fine, but the three demon mountains in the hunting ground were different.
In other places, Half-saint's power would save people in advance when they were on the brink of death. However, in the three demon mountains, Half-saint's power would not save people in advance. Instead, it would save people after they were injured, but it would often be too late. Occasionally, people would die.
This was deliberately set up by Half-saint to let the human Jinshi know when to advance and when to retreat.
Fang Yun looked at the people from Jia Nation carefully and realized that they were determined. They were not surprised at all. They had actually made up their minds.
In Gyeongo's team, a Jinshi in his early forties who was similar in age to Lei Li said, "Brother Lei, I admire your courage. How can Gyeongo be left behind? Friends of Gyeongo, losing to Fang Xusheng is not shameful. However, losing to Jingguo is not something I, Zong Bo, can afford to lose face! Then, we will use the fourth plan for this spring hunt. If your ranking is lower than Jingguo, you will go straight to the demon mountain! "
When Fang Yun heard that the other party was Zong Bo, he was shocked. Zong Bo was a fierce god.
Zong Bo was different from other geniuses. Before the age of 30, his strength was average and unremarkable. However, after three years of training in the Two World Mountain, his strength increased by leaps and bounds and he was valued by the Zong family. However, just because he was not from the main family, he was designated as a "Solid Jinshi".
The so-called "Solid Jinshi" was similar to those Jinshi who did not participate in the Jinshi examination in order to enter the Holy Ground. They suppressed their cultivation for some purpose and did not advance. These people would either be promoted after completing their mission, or their descendants would be treated very well.
However, some people thought that this was one of the main family's methods to weaken the side branches.
This was because Zong Bo was different from the Jinshi who entered the Holy Ground. Those who entered the Holy Ground could improve their strength by leaps and bounds, laying a foundation for their future promotion.
A Solid Jinshi like Zong Bo was different. He had been participating in the spring hunt all these years. His gains were very small, while the Zong family and Gyeongo benefited greatly. This delayed his own future and Sage Dao.
Zong Bo was called a fierce god because he was bloodthirsty. Killing demons and barbarians had become a kind of instinct, and he especially chose powerful ones to kill.
Five years ago, Zong Bo killed a Saint Demon General!
Three years ago, Zong Bo killed an ordinary Demon Marquis!
Last year, Zong Bo killed a Saint Demon Marquis alone!
Even when Fang Yun was in the Celestial Tree, he could only kill a Royal Demon Marquis. Moreover, he obtained victory at the cost of injuring himself and was almost killed instead.
Moreover, that Royal Demon Marquis was not a peak Demon Marquis. It was only a Two-Plains Demon Marquis, which was equivalent to the second hall of the human race.
The human race's Hanlin Palace challenged the seven halls while the demon race's Demon Marquis challenged the seven plains. To a certain extent, the Hanlin Palace had borrowed the demon race's model.
Fang Yun suspected that Zong Bo should be at the level of the fourth hall's Hanlin Palace if he went all out. He was even stronger than Lei Li.
After all, Zong Sheng was still alive and had a great impact on the Zong family's bloodline power. According to the standards of the demon race, Zong Bo was not an ordinary Demon General but a Saint Demon General.
Zong Wude said helplessly, "Uncle, can I not go up the Demon Mountain? I'm afraid of death. Yukong, you have the potential to become a Half-saint. If you lose your life on the Demon Mountain, it won't be worth it! Everyone in Gyeongo, our Zong family hates Fang Yun to the core, but you don't. Which one of you hasn't benefited from Fang Yun? If you lose, you lose. If you win, you win. Don't joke with your life. "
However, Yan Yukong shook his head and said, "No, I lost too badly in the Ten Nations Grand Tournament. Judging from his growth speed, this spring hunt may be my last chance to defeat him. I can't give up. I'll go up the Demon Mountain. "
Xun Zhixing, who had once lost to Fang Yun in the Literary Suppression Competition, smiled and said, "Me too!"
Ji Shou-woo, who had been silent all this while, suddenly spoke up.
"Today's Scholar Hunting Ground is different from previous years."
