In the afternoon, the process of refining weapons continued.
Ares College's dean, Qin Hao, wore the armor of the Empire's soldiers. He stood up and pointed to the students in front of him. "These 200 students are the most outstanding students of this year's graduates. They are also the main targets of the Gold Star Instructor's research. After the trial, these students may personally ask the instructor for advice."
Lei Hong nodded with a smile. "Mm."
…
Lin Muyu watched from afar and said, "Is this Dean Qin Hao also a member of the Qin Clan?"
Qin Ziling said in a low voice: "Lin Zhi, Dean Qin Hao is a collateral relative of the Qin Clan, and not a direct descendant. It's just that his talent is extraordinary, and his realm is extremely high, already possessing the strength of a level 87 Heavenly Emperor. So even though he is a declining noble clan, he was still appointed as the Dean of Ares College by the Emperor more than ten years ago, and given the title of General.
"Oh." Lin Muyu felt a little more respect for this Qin Hao.
At this time, the afternoon trial had officially begun. Ge Yang held the scroll in his hand and announced loudly, "Gold Star trial, first match, fist technique trial. Gold Star Instructor Zhang Wei against Gold Star Sparring Master Lin Zhi!"
Zhang Wei, who was riding on his war horse, was stunned. "Ah? When did I become a Gold Star Instructor? "
Reihom smiled faintly, raised his hand and tossed out a small object. "Now."
Zhang Wei caught it and saw that it was a Gold Star Instructor badge. He happily swapped out his Silver Star badge and flipped off his horse, jumping onto the trial grounds.
Lin Muyu also flipped off her horse. She did not unsheathe the Burning Prairie Sword behind her. She went straight to Zhang Wei and cupped her fists. "Sir Zhang Wei, thank you for your guidance!"
Zhang Wei laughed. "Brother Lin Zhi, there is no need to be so courteous. Come!"
He suddenly let out a low roar, and with the support of the Bear Martial Soul in both of his arms, he unleashed the Fiery Soul Fist without any hesitation. It whistled like the wind, and a straight punch carried with it the power to collapse the mountains and crack the earth. Even the fiery force that was brought along with it turned into a strong gale that blew the nearby students back one after another. Each and every one of them had a horrified look on their faces. Instructor Jin Xing's strength was indeed extraordinary.
However, under the astonished gazes of the crowd, Lin Muyu countered every move that came her way. With a light wave of her arm, her martial spirit flashed out. The Black Tortoise Shell and the Dragon Scale Wall surrounded her body as a pure white glow faintly flowed on her arm. It was Dou Qi!
"Ah? This Gold Star Sparring Master is a Heaven Realm expert. That's battle energy! "
No one knew who shouted, but the group of students became solemn. One of them said loudly, "I know. Recently, the only Gold Star Sparring Master appeared in the Holy Temple. His name is Lin Zhi. At that time, he was only a level 50 Battle-Saint. Now, he has stepped into the Heaven Realm and become a Heavenly Venerable. What a fast advancement speed!"
"Bang!"
The fist landed on the Black Tortoise Shell. Lin Muyu quickly retreated, but she still stood in the field. Zhang Wei let out a low roar and swept his leg across the ground, creating a raging flame. Meanwhile, Lin Muyu leaped into the air and looked down. Zhang Wei's signature move had arrived, "Earth Dragon Soar". This was the leg technique that Zhang Wei was best at. Both of his legs were surrounded by raging flames as he kicked into the air. This guy did not hold back at all. In fact, Zhang Wei also knew that with his current cultivation, he could not hurt Lin Muyu. Therefore, he gave it his all and only hoped that it would be a good and exciting fight!
Opening both palms, Lin Muyu still used the same hand gesture. Battle energy surged in her palms to block Zhang Wei's attack. She turned around and landed on the ground. The cracks on the Black Tortoise Shell that were caused by Zhang Wei's continuous attacks were quickly repaired. That was the ability of the Forbidden Mother Tree Beast Spirit — Recovery. With this ability, the damaged defensive layer would also be repaired quickly. This was the most powerful part of this sixth ability.
After a series of ruthless punches, Zhang Wei quickly retreated and stood opposite of Lin Muyu. He cupped his fists and said, "Lord Lin Zhi's cultivation is astonishing. I, Zhang Wei, am not your opponent!"
Lin Muyu also cupped her fists and smiled, "Lord Zhang Wei, thank you for letting me win."
Ge Yang announced loudly, "It's a draw! Zhang Wei's fist technique originated from the War God Xiang Wentian's Fiery Fist. Any student who wants to learn the Fiery Fist can immediately go and ask Lord Zhang Wei for guidance. "
Very soon, Zhang Wei was drowned by a group of students. However, being so popular, this burly man revealed a happy smile.
Lin Muyu slowly walked back to the row of sparring masters. She stood at the front and mounted her horse.
…
Ge Yang continued, "The second round of the Gold Star level, Sword and Shield Instructor Zheng Shanhe against Silver Star Sparring Master Ma Lin!"
Ma Lin was a man of about 30 years old. His face was full of crisscrossed scars. It was said that he used to be a mercenary who committed all sorts of crimes, but later turned a new leaf. Because he was a commoner, he became a sparring master after joining the Holy Temple. He did not specialize in any martial arts, but his bronze skin and iron bones were famous in the Holy Temple for his defense.
Qin Ziling smiled and said, "Be careful, Lord Ma Lin. I heard that Lord Zheng Shanhe's cultivation of offensive techniques has been quite successful recently …"
Ma Lin laughed and said, "Don't worry, Ziling. I'll be fine."
Zheng Shanhe carried his sword and shield and stepped into the training field. Among the Gold Star instructors, he was indeed one of the more loyal ones. After the battle started, he only demonstrated the method of switching between sword techniques and foot combat, and did not hurt Ma Lin at all. In fact, Zheng Shanhe's training method was most suitable for military academy students. After all, a real battle on the battlefield was a game between one side attacking and the other defending.
After nearly five minutes of fighting, the two sides were tied. The crowd of students cheered, and many students flocked to Zheng Shanhe. This uncle began to demonstrate his swordsmanship to the students on the sidelines. In fact, this was essentially unfair. The students only flocked to the instructor, but no one cared about the sparring partners. It was as if the sparring partners were just attendants.
At this moment, Ge Yang unrolled the scroll and said, "The third round, spear training. Gold Star Instructor Zhao Jin against Silver Star Sparring Master Shi Zhonghai!"
Shi Zhonghai was one of the few mounted commanders amongst the sparring instructors. He lifted his iron spear and leapt onto his horse. After entering the training grounds, he cupped his hands towards Zhao Jin from afar and said with a smile, "Lord Zhao Jin, please show mercy …"
"Heh!"
A sinister smile flashed across Zhao Jin's lips, but he did not reply.
"Go!"
Shi Zhonghai gave a low shout and charged forward with his spear. His speed was extremely fast, and Zhao Jin also charged towards him. Both sides attacked at almost the same time. Zhao Jin's Pear Blossom Spear instantly turned into a pear blossom that bloomed in the air. In just an instant, the Pear Blossom Spear's blade was stained with fresh blood, and Shi Zhonghai let out a miserable groan as his abdomen was pierced by the Pear Blossom Spear.
Fresh blood dripped down. Zhao Jin shook his spear and instantly shook Shi Zhonghai to the ground.
"Ah ah ah …"
Shi Zhonghai let out a heart-wrenching howl. Blood flowed continuously from his abdomen, but it did not seem to be fatal.
Lei Hong frowned and said, "Medical officer!"
Several medical officers immediately went to treat Shi Zhonghai. Lei Hong cupped his hands towards Qin Hao beside him and said, "I've let Lord Qin Hao see a joke …"
Qin Hao's expression was calm as he said, "Fighting on the battlefield has always been a bloody affair, so how could it be a joke? Besides, these cadets will one day become blood-soaked generals on the battlefield. It's good for them to see the cruelty of war sooner rather than later."
At this time, Zhao Jin turned his horse around and walked back. Holding the blood-stained Pear Blossom Spear, he smiled and said, "Head Deacon, your subordinate has accidentally injured Lord Shi Zhonghai just now. I am truly sorry. However, my true spear techniques on horseback have yet to be displayed. How about … Head Deacon send another strong sparring partner to spar with me?"
On the viewing platform, a group of generals with flaming emblems on their shoulders stood up, raised their arms and laughed, "Right, send an even stronger sparring partner. We want to see the true spear techniques of the Temple's number one spear!"
"This …"
Lei Hong frowned and said, "Hmph, this Zhao Jin …"
In the arena, Zhao Jin raised his spear and said loudly, "Head Deacon, the Temple's strongest sparring partner is Lord Lin Zhi. Your subordinate has long wanted to spar with Lord Lin Zhi. How about we do it today? Please grant this subordinate's wish, Head Deacon. "
More and more people started to heckle, and there were even some students who were shouting, "Lord Lin Zhi, please accept the challenge! Lord Lin Zhi, please accept the challenge! "
Lei Hong had originally planned to protect Lin Muyu, not letting him encounter Zhao Jin. But now, he could no longer protect him. As the saying goes, it's best not to offend the anger of the masses. With so many people asking for Lin Muyu to fight, this battle was inevitable.
"Lin Zhi."
Lei Hong said from afar, "Are you willing to fight Lord Zhao Jin? If you are not willing, I will not force you. After all, you have already fought today. According to the rules, no one can force you to fight a second time. "
Lin Muyu's gaze stopped on Shi Zhonghai, who was lying on the ground. Yet another sparring partner had suffered such humiliation. It seemed that the status of sparring partners in the Temple had never changed. In the next moment, his gaze became resolute, and he cupped his fists and said, "Head Deacon, I am willing to fight, but you must promise me one thing. Allow me to attack!"
"What is it?" Lei Hong was stunned.
Qin Hao was also stunned. He smiled and stood up, saying, "Interesting. I never thought that there would be such a heroic youth in the Temple. Lord Lei Hong, I think … why don't you grant it? Allow Lin Zhi to attack. Even if he injures his opponent, he cannot be punished. How about it? "
Lei Hong gritted his teeth, saying, "Fine. The two of you better not hurt each other. Otherwise … otherwise I will not let you off lightly!"
"Yes!"
… …
Lin Muyu urged his horse forward, and with a 'dang' sound, he pulled out the Burning Prairie Sword. Dou Qi slowly poured in, and the Burning Prairie Sword's flames grew brighter, causing the students to click their tongues in wonder. Many of them were dumbfounded, "What a powerful aura. This sparring partner is not bad …"
From afar, Zhao Jin held his spear horizontally across his chest, and smiled, saying, "Lord Lin Zhi, please enlighten me."
His eyes were filled with killing intent. Lin Muyu actually knew that this person was from the Divine Marquis Palace, and the people on the stage who were clamoring for her to fight were also from the Divine Marquis Palace. These people were the generals of the Divine Might Battalion. This was a trap, and they were waiting for her to jump into it. In truth, these people also knew that she was only a Level 60 Heavenly Master, and Zhao Jin was a Level 70 Heavenly King. In their eyes, she was definitely not Zhao Jin's match, right?
"Coming!"
Zhao Jin was the first to attack. He urged his horse and charged forward with his Pear Blossom Spear.
