As the wind blew, it brought with it a sense of desolation, and so did people's hearts.
Jiang Tianmu was defeated.
This was something that many people did not expect. In their opinion, Jiang Tianmu was almost certain to win the title of State Knight.
And Chen Zong, who was not favored, naturally had no hope of winning the State Knight title.
However, the reality was a heavy blow to everyone, including Jiang Tianmu.
His three sword moves were all broken. In the end, he did not even have the chance to use his secret technique or the power of his pseudo-spiritual artifact before he was defeated by Chen Zong. That sword move had an indescribable mystery, and it was impossible to dodge or defend against.
He was very unwilling, but he also had an indescribable sense of helplessness.
In terms of swordsmanship, Chen Zong was indeed better than him, that was undeniable.
For a moment, the way everyone looked at Chen Zong changed.
He was an Earth Grade member of the Dragon Pavilion with Heaven Grade potential, and his combat strength had reached the early stage of Five Star. If they were not mistaken, his cultivation was only at the late stage of the Ninth Transformation Realm, not the peak, and there was still room for improvement.
His potential was amazing!
"That's Man and Sword as One, right?" A great general narrowed his eyes and whispered.
"That's Man and Sword as One. In the future, he will definitely reach the pseudo-transcendent Realm, and even have the chance to reach the true Transcendent Realm."
"That's not a simple Man and Sword as One. If I'm not mistaken, it has already surpassed the first stage of Man and Sword as One and reached the second stage," General Mingzhe said. Commander Ming Zhe said. His expression did not change. He was calm and collected, but deep down, his heart was in turmoil.
"Yuwen He, Su Xiaoshui, and Chen Zong." The Purple Dragon King smiled slightly and swept his deep gaze across them, "Congratulations."
Yuwen He and the others breathed slightly faster.
The State Knight title was just around the corner.
"Now, the three of you follow me to the palace to meet the Emperor." As the Purple Dragon King finished speaking, Chen Zong's pupils contracted.
The Emperor!
The Emperor of the Cloud Dragon Dynasty was above everyone, and he controlled the entire dynasty. All the land under the sky belonged to the Emperor, and all the people on the land were the Emperor's subjects.
It could be said that the current Emperor controlled the life and death of countless people, and he himself was a powerful Transcendent Realm master.
Many people would never be able to see a noble in their lifetime, let alone an emperor.
Behind the Amethyst Dragon King, Chen Zong and the other two left the Battle Dragon Ring. The crowd followed suit.
There were many halls in the Imperial Palace that were named after dragons.
The Golden-dragon Palace was the main hall where the imperial court was held. All the civil and military officials would gather here.
Outside the Golden-dragon Palace was a spacious area. Golden-dragon Guards lined up neatly on both sides. Every Golden-dragon Guard was wearing a dark golden dragon-patterned armor with a long saber at their waist. They looked cold and looked straight ahead. Even from a distance, one could feel the cold Evil Spirit surrounding them.
Every Golden-dragon Guard had been selected from the army and was the most elite. Every Golden-dragon Guard was at least at Lv 7 of the True Martial Realm. They were powerful and decisive.
There were 99 Golden-dragon Guards on the left side and 99 Golden-dragon Guards on the right side. They lined up all the way to the entrance of the main hall.
"Summon the Purple Dragon King and the winner of the State Knight Examination into the hall …"
"Summon the Purple Dragon King and the winner of the State Knight Examination into the hall …"
"Summon the Purple Dragon King and the winner of the State Knight Examination into the hall …"
From the Golden-dragon Palace, loud and clear voices came one after another, with a long ending tone.
"Let's go." The Purple Dragon King said. Chen Zong and the other two immediately stopped looking around. They subconsciously tidied up their collars and stepped forward with a serious face.
For example, Yuwen He and Su Xiaoshui, although they had extraordinary backgrounds, they did not have official positions. They had never been here before, let alone meet the Emperor because they were not qualified.
As they walked past, they felt the eyes of the Golden-dragon Guards sweeping over them. They felt like they had been cut by a blade. Chen Zong and the other two subconsciously mobilized their Internal Strength, as if they were facing a great enemy.
The Purple Dragon King was calm. After all, he was a Transcendent Realm master. No matter how many True Martial Realm masters there were, they could not pose a threat to a Transcendent Realm master.
They walked up the splendid stairs and entered the Golden-dragon Palace.
The moment Chen Zong crossed the threshold, he felt his whole body tighten. The invisible momentum was like an ancient mountain, directly suppressing his body. Even his breathing became heavy.
Everything in sight seemed to be so dazzling that it was difficult to look at directly. He felt a little dizzy, as if the world was spinning.
Chen Zong's strong spiritual will and superb martial arts realm immediately allowed him to quickly adjust and adapt. The feeling of dizziness disappeared, and Chen Zong could see his surroundings clearly.
Compared to Chen Zong, Yuwen He and Su Xiaoshui's performance was worse. It took them several times longer than Chen Zong to adjust and adapt.
Chen Zong could feel the gazes from all around him. They were filled with admiration, especially the gaze from the person in front of him. It was as if the gaze could see through him completely.
Looking at the eyes, Chen Zong couldn't help but tremble. Everything in front of him disappeared again, and a vast sea rose up. Above the sea was a blue sky, and the wind and clouds were surging.
Suddenly, a golden light appeared, as if it had rushed out from the depths of the sea, and as if it had come from the sky, rapidly expanding in front of him.
Dragon!
The golden dragon, riding the Nine Heavens and roaming the four seas, appeared in front of Chen Zong.
In front of the golden dragon, Chen Zong only felt that he was insignificant. Not only was he insignificant in terms of size, but he was also insignificant in terms of aura.
The golden dragon rushed towards Chen Zong. Its huge golden eyes were as cold as the smoothest mirror, completely reflecting Chen Zong's figure.
The pressure grew stronger and stronger, making Chen Zong unable to breathe. He had to use everything he had to resist.
The golden dragon rushed towards Chen Zong directly. Chen Zong couldn't dodge at all, because the powerful momentum suppressed him directly.
He thought that he would be torn apart by the impact, but unexpectedly, the golden dragon just swept through his body like a shadow. In the next moment, the world in front of him collapsed. He felt like he had been wandering in the darkness for thousands of years, and finally found a light. Following the light, he moved forward and escaped from the darkness.
The Amethyst Dragon King's voice came into his ears.
"Yu Wenjian greets the Emperor." The Amethyst Dragon King cupped his hands and bowed. He didn't kneel down, because he was a prince of the dynasty, and he had the honor of not kneeling down to the Emperor.
"Brother Wang, you don't have to be so polite." A gentle and dignified voice sounded, filling the entire Golden Dragon Palace. It went straight into everyone's ears, as if it wanted to leave a mark, but it wasn't harsh at all.
"Wu Min Yu Wenhe greets the Emperor." Yu Wenhe immediately knelt down.
"Wu Min Su Xiaoshui greets the Emperor." Su Xiaoshui also knelt down almost at the same time.
"Wu Min Chen Zong greets the Emperor." Chen Zong also knelt down.
Those who didn't have an official position were commoners. If they were warriors, they would call themselves Wu Min.
"You three may rise." The Emperor who was sitting high on the Golden Dragon Throne smiled slightly.
He wore a Golden Dragon Crown and a Golden Dragon Robe. There was an indescribable dignified look between his eyebrows. It was as if he was controlled by the applause, and he was majestic. His every move and every word was the center of attention. The aura he exuded was so strong that no one dared to disobey him. It was as if disobeying him was disobeying the whole world.
"The three of you are able to stand out from dozens of young talents. You are indeed extraordinary." The Emperor spoke. His voice was neither fast nor slow, neither high nor low, but every word seemed to contain an inexplicable power. It was so loud that even the deaf could hear it. "I will confer the title of Nation Knight to the three of you. It will be announced to the world from now on."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Chen Zong and the other two all let out a sigh of relief. They had won the qualification before, but now they were finally conferred the title by the Emperor himself. They were officially recognized.
They came to see the Emperor to be conferred the title of Nation Knight. After the conferment, they naturally could not stay. They all bowed and left the Golden Dragon Palace with the Purple Dragon King.
"Hahahaha, I am finally a Nation Knight." After leaving the Golden Dragon Palace, Yuwen He laughed.
Chen Zong also felt a sense of relief. The pressure in the Golden-dragon Palace was too great.
The Emperor's dignified aura, as if he was in charge of thousands of lives, and the civil and military officials of the court. Once ordinary people entered the palace, their legs would probably go soft.
Having seen such a dignified aura, Chen Zong's desire to pursue martial arts became firmer. This was a benefit.
"Being a Nation Knight also represents the honor of the dynasty. You should also pay attention to your words and actions in the future." The Purple Dragon King said.
"Yes." Chen Zong and the other two all answered.
Paying attention to their words and actions did not mean that they had to be restrained. They just could not speak carelessly or do anything that would damage the dynasty's reputation.
"In addition, your Nation Knight Orders will be issued soon. At that time, your salary will also start to be calculated." The Purple Dragon King added.
Chen Zong's eyes suddenly lit up.
It was said that a Nation Knight's salary was very high. It was worth looking forward to.
After saying goodbye to the Purple Dragon King, Chen Zong also said goodbye to the three princes. He immediately returned to the Guan Mansion to see Marquis Zhengyuan.
"Good, good, good." Seeing Chen Zong, Marquis Zhengyuan was full of smiles. Although he did not need to attend the court, he was very well-informed and already knew the result.
Guan Yunxiao was also there. When he saw Chen Zong, he was very depressed.
In the beginning, he looked down on Chen Zong out of pride and wanted Chen Zong to quit. After that failed, he planned to use the Dragon Pavilion to give Chen Zong a hard blow. In the end, he was the one who was beaten.
He did not expect that in the end, Chen Zong would defeat a strong enemy and be conferred the title of Nation Knight. The blow was ten times worse. The pride in his heart was completely shattered.
Marquis Zhengyuan seemed to understand Guan Yunxiao's feelings, but he did not say it out loud. It was good to be beaten up, so that he would not always be arrogant.
Perhaps as a citizen of the Royal City, he was more outstanding, but it did not mean that he was superior to others.
Especially for warriors, they had to have a clear understanding of themselves to be able to go further on the path of Martial Arts.
"Chen Zong, do you know the benefits of becoming a Nation Knight?" Marquis Zhengyuan seemed to be very talkative. He took the initiative to ask.
"I don't know. Please enlighten me." Chen Zong smiled and said.
"Nation Knight is a special position in our dynasty. Although it has no real power, it has great honor." Marquis Zhengyuan smiled and said, "Every Nation Knight is registered by the dynasty and is protected by the dynasty. Every Nation Knight can command twelve True Force Realm soldiers with their Nation Knight Orders. Every month, they can also get a salary of one hundred spirit shells. They can also enter the Royal Armory to choose a Peerless Martial Art or Secret Art and a treasure from the Royal Treasury."
Hearing this, Chen Zong's eyes lit up.
