"To think that such a powerful figure would appear in this year's martial examination …"
"Such vigor, such power …"
"Even the elders in the clan could not have such vigor and power like Wu Sheng."
"I originally thought that after so many years of practicing martial arts, I had already cultivated my clan's Cloud Expelling Stellar Energy to 80%, and that I would definitely become the champion in this year's martial examination. I did not expect such a powerful figure to appear."
"Tsk tsk, this person is really too powerful. He actually dared to challenge the Champion Marquis! The Champion Marquis is a god of war who leads hundreds of thousands of soldiers. He defeated Yun Meng and even captured the State Warship. However, such a martial arts Saint, not considering other forces, can indeed challenge the Champion Marquis with his own strength. "
A flurry of discussion arose.
These people were the martial examination candidates who had passed the first test of "Horse Running Ji City."
These martial examination candidates were all experts. Some were at the peak of the Connate Realm, and some were even Great Grandmasters.
Among them, there were a few who were close to the peak of the Great Grandmaster level. There were even a few who practiced both martial arts and martial arts, and were very shrewd people.
Although it was a martial examination, some of the aristocratic families who practiced martial arts could also participate, and use martial arts to win the general position.
In the vast land of the Da Qian Heavenly Province, there were many aristocratic families. Among them, some aristocratic families did not come out to become officials. They only stayed at home, making pills, studying, cultivating, practicing martial arts, and developing martial arts.
Only a few of the smaller aristocratic families used studying and practicing martial arts as a stepping stone to becoming an official, so as to strengthen their family.
The real aristocratic families, on the other hand, used studying and practicing martial arts as a way to cultivate and accumulate the family's resources.
Because the power of the family was too great, and their resources were too deep, there was no need for them to cause trouble in the imperial court. Even if there was a change of dynasty, the imperial court would treat them well. For example, a great scholar like Xie Wenyuan, who studied at home, cultivated his mind, and ignored the imperial court. After passing the examination, he did not take it anymore, because the imperial court's scholarly honors were nothing to him.
There was no imperial court that had existed for thousands of years, but there were aristocratic families that had existed for thousands of years.
In the current Da Qian Dynasty, the Yang family had also been a great aristocratic family in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
When the Great Zhou Dynasty was in chaos, the Yang Family took the opportunity to accumulate their strength. Then, they joined forces and defeated the other heroes in one fell swoop, seizing control of the world and stabilizing their position.
Originally, the disciples of these aristocratic families wouldn't have come out. However, the imperial court wanted to implement the policy of "government officials and gentry working as one unit". When they really took action against the aristocratic families, the elders of the families saw this clearly. Thus, they sent their disciples out to participate in the imperial examinations. After obtaining a certain position in the imperial court, they would be used to suppress the imperial court.
At this time, the remaining aristocratic family disciples were all powerful people. They studied, practiced martial arts, and traveled around the world. When they returned, they would cultivate their moral character. They were the standard "scholar-bureaucrats".
These experts had originally participated in the military examination this time, thinking that they had a ninety percent chance of success. But who knew that a figure like Hong Yi would suddenly appear.
First, at the moment when the Emperor arrived, he released his "Peak Wu Sheng" aura and shocked everyone present. Then, he took the lead and broke through the obstruction of the Champion Marquis and the other four experts with a thunderous slash and won the first place in Horse Race Ji City.
This was already a great show of power.
But that wasn't all. During the second round of saber arts examination, Hong Yi even picked up the Great Millet Divine Saber and released his aura towards the Marquis Champion, slightly provoking him.
This kind of prestige, this kind of murderous aura, was incomparable.
Hong Yi's series of actions first wildly swung his saber, then roared and shook the ground like a divine tiger roaring!
Then, he used his saber to split the ground!
Finally, he pointed his saber at the Champion Marquis from afar, arrogantly provoking him. His prestige and arrogance were unparalleled.
Such behavior made even the aristocratic family disciples, who thought that they were very powerful, feel ashamed of their inferiority. They even had plans to withdraw from the military examination this time.
Hong Yi's insolent and arrogant attitude had shocked the martial examination this time.
At the moment when the tip of his saber pointed at the Champion Marquis, Hong Yi knew that this time, his real prestige began to spread and expand. Hong Yi could even see the future. All the princes and nobles in Yujing City, even the generals at the borders, the aristocratic families, the rich, and the officials of the Da Qian would all talk about him.
He would become a rising star.
Everyone would notice him.
Disregarding everything else, a pinnacle Wu Sheng was enough to attract the attention of many major forces in the world.
Even sacred grounds like Xuantian Hall and True Dipper Sect would not turn a blind eye to a pinnacle Wu Sheng.
Although Hong Yi's true strength was not the true pinnacle Wu Sheng, and in terms of actual combat, he was only on par with the beginner Wu Sheng. Unless he cultivated all 108 acupoints in the half of the Present Rulai Sutra, he would not be able to match the pinnacle Wu Sheng.
But Hong Yi could use the virtual aura of the God of War Demon Scripture to disguise himself as a pinnacle Wu Sheng.
It was just an empty aura.
If he were to compete with a pinnacle Wu Sheng like the Champion Marquis, it would be difficult for three Hong Yi's to defeat the Champion Marquis even if they joined forces.
Of course, if Hong Yi used Taoist techniques, then it would be hard to say.
"Hmm?"
Just as Hong Yi pointed his saber at the Champion Marquis from a distance, thousands of steps away, his mental aura and fist intent came pressing over.
The Champion Marquis' eyes flashed with rage! A powerful mental aura emerged from his body. In his rage, his muscles moved, and his clothes bulged.
The fury of a pinnacle Wu Sheng immediately put immense mental pressure on everyone present!
In Hong Yi's eyes, the Essence Qi above the Champion Marquis' body shot straight up into the sky like a beacon, as though Ji Changyue's Heavenly Abode Divine Light had pierced through the sky.
What was even more violent was that the Essence Qi smoke of the Heavenly Grotto-Heaven spread out in the sky. It seemed to vaguely form an inexplicable picture.
In this inexplicable picture, Hong Yi even felt a sense of the mountains, rivers, and earth being occupied.
If Hong Xuanji's Wheel of Life and Death was to control the Wheel of Life and Death and the will of the gods, then the Champion Marquis was to occupy everything, not leaving anything for others. All the good things, all the beautiful women, all the great rivers and mountains, all the wealth, all the people must listen to my orders, not the slightest bit of resistance, not even the slightest bit of resistance in the mind. I won't give you any chance to resist, not even the slightest bit.
Your body will be occupied by me, and your mind will be occupied by me.
One was' control '.
The other was' possession '.
The 'control' was somewhat loose, while the 'possession' was naked, unreasonable, tyrannical, and deathly silent. Compared to the Great Destruction and Great Destruction, it was an incomparably intense desire.
"Between heaven and earth, there's actually such a person, such a mentality … such naked demonic thinking. The Heavenly Dao is about 'success, creation is not possession', but the Champion Marquis' mentality is to want everything, to possess everything. In fact, he also wants to possess the Heavenly Snake Monarch, Chan Yinsha, and even Consort Yuan and Monarch Sweetyfox. With such a mentality and such thoughts, I'm afraid even the Carefree Skyfiend is inferior."
At this time, Hong Yi had finally touched upon the deepest aspect of the Champion Marquis' will after his rage.
It was an intense desire to possess that was even more demonic than the demonic path.
A thought even more terrifying than the Great Destruction and Great Destruction. This could no longer be considered the demonic path … the will of the demonic path was willing to concede defeat. This was already a perverted thought that disregarded everything.
Everyone had a desire to possess, but for someone as strong as the Champion Marquis, it was simply indescribable. However, the Champion Marquis had always done this.
Even when he saw someone as powerful as the Heavenly Snake Monarch, the Champion Marquis would follow his heart's desire to tease and think of ways to possess her.
Hong Yi also had a desire to possess, but like the Champion Marquis, he also wanted the emperor's people, and even the mother and daughter of the Yaochi School, Yao Qinghui, Yao Yueru, and Yao Yueting. He completely disregarded etiquette, disregarded morality, and even disregarded human nature. This was the difference between an ant and an elephant.
"Just who is he? Who does he think he is? Everything should belong to him? Even if he was the reincarnation of a powerful demon god, he still wouldn't have such an intense desire to possess … no wonder his martial path could reach such a realm. I can sense that as long as he possesses one more thing, his thoughts will be at ease, and he will step into the Human Immortal realm. "
"Rapid Thunder Arc Light!"
Just as the Champion Marquis was thoroughly enraged, Hong Yi shook the tip of his saber and withdrew it. All the fist will and spirit converged into a ball, stored in the major acupoints of his body, and then exploded with the strength of his physical body, activating the Lightning Saber Scripture to erupt with saber power.
The Great Millet Divine Saber was a huge saber, weighing nine hundred and ninety-nine kilograms. It was not a saber for actual combat. Using such a saber in actual combat, even Wu Sheng wouldn't be able to last long on the battlefield before his strength would be exhausted.
This saber was a heavy saber forged from the heavy steel and cold iron of the seabed, and it was also a saber for examinations.
If a martial examinee could wield such a saber during the examination, it meant that this general could bear the weight of the country, and was a true talent for the marshal, a talent for the feudal lord, and could defend the land for the emperor.
Hong Yi was well-versed in history books, so he naturally understood this logic.
After provoking the Champion Marquis, Hong Yi withdrew his aura like a dragonfly skimming the surface of the water, ignoring the Champion Marquis. Then, he raised his saber and executed the three major killing moves of the Lightning Saber Scripture.
He had never used such a heavy saber before, nor had he brandished it in such an occasion.
After mentioning the Great Millet Divine Saber, Hong Yi suddenly felt like he had made a breakthrough in the Martial Dao.
All the muscles in his body tensed up, and his Spiritual Force spread into his acupoints.
All the pressure of the Great Millet Divine Saber seemed to be evenly distributed to every muscle and every bone in his body.
Hong Yi seemed to have gained a deeper understanding of the True Wu Sheng Body and the Lightning Saber Scripture.
Faintly, Xiao Chen felt the lingering charm of the Saber Saint Gong Yangyu from back then. An intense saber light burst out like an electric python. The huge saber cut in all directions, cracking the ground and causing dust to fly everywhere. The saber light of the Great Millet Divine Saber surrounded Hong Yi's body and exploded in all directions, giving off a sizzling sound.
After the Swift Thunder Arc Light, Hong Yi consecutively used "Yin Yang Purgatory", "Heaven and Earth Furnace", and then the Divine Firmament Path's "Thunderclap Ninth Heaven".
Under the heavy pressure of the Great Millet Divine Saber, Hong Yi had expended a large amount of his physical strength. His body felt extremely fatigued. All of a sudden, he felt like he was experiencing the Lightning Tribulation a few days ago in the midst of the lightning tribulation.
In the lightning, the Nine Heavens, the Will of Heaven and Earth. In the center of the lightning, the flickering Lesser World, the essence of the Divine Cloud Path's Lightning Technique, and the Lightning Saber Scripture seemed to link together.
All of Hong Yi's mental dao techniques, physical strength, and the state of Thoughtless Tranquility seemed to merge into one in an instant.
Suddenly, Hong Yi felt like his spirit and body had become one.
In the instant that his spirit and body became one, Hong Yi felt like he had become the lightning of heaven and earth.
He felt like he was the Lightning Tribulation in that instant.
The saber struck!
"Lightning Tribulation!"
The saber strike that came as the spirit and body became one. Whoosh!
The saber light expanded, and with a flash, it transformed into a huge "saber qi" that was fifty steps long and three zhang wide!
The ground cracked, and a deep trench opened up.
"Ah!"
A noble family disciple howled and fell to the ground stiffly. A gust of yin qi emanated from his body. Hong Yi's move was like the power of the Lightning Tribulation, and it had shaken the soul out of this noble family disciple with shallow dao techniques.
Those with shallow cultivation often had their souls out of their bodies, and could not become one with their spirit and body. If a Human Immortal approached them, their powerful blood qi and will could force their souls out of their bodies.
"Human Immortal! That strike! The power of a Human Immortal? Even if he's not a Human Immortal, he's infinitely close. How is this possible! The power of his strike actually surpassed mine! Even if I used all my strength, I could not have unleashed such power! "
The Marquis Champion suddenly retracted his aura, and looked over.
The "Great Millet Divine Saber" in Hong Yi's hand broke into seven or eight pieces.
Everyone present was stunned by Hong Yi's final strike.
Even the Big Dry Emperor, Yang Pan, had his hand on the armrest. He had not expected that Hong Yi would explode with his potential! To actually unleash a strike that was infinitely close to the Human Immortal realm.
"Could it be that he did not practice dao techniques? Purely martial arts? To the point where he could hide his power in his orifices? How is this possible? Could it be that he took the Tianyuan Spirit Pill? The power of the Spirit Pill must have been stored in his body, and was inadvertently unleashed. "A thought rose in Qian Emperor Yang Pan's mind.
"What happened just now? I actually became one with my spirit and body in an instant? He had fused all of his divine soul and physical body into one. This was impossible. It was impossible to achieve such a state. After I became a ghost immortal, my spirit and body were completely separated. How could it be possible to become one? Even if I could become one again, it would be legendary. After crossing the nine stages of thunder tribulation, my body would reach the peak of Human Immortal, and the two would become one and become Yang Spirit. "
Hong Yi stood on the spot, feeling the state he had just been in.
Just now, at the last moment, he actually felt that he had become a thunder tribulation, and his spirit and body had become one. He had unleashed a strike that was infinitely close to that of a Human Immortal.
However, when he recalled it again, Hong Yi could no longer find the state he had just been in.
According to the principle, the stronger the spirit cultivation, the more impossible it was to combine with the body. It was like two magnets with the same pole, forcing the spirit and body to become one, and the power would counteract each other. Only at the last moment, when the nine stages of thunder tribulation, the peak of Human Immortal, could he comprehend this state and become Yang Spirit.
"Well, I might have been stimulated by the Marquis Champion and turned into a thunder tribulation, and suddenly entered an indescribable state. I'll go back and meditate on it. But my strike just now was simply the strongest attack. Compared to the Great Vacuum Handprint, it seems to be a little stronger. "
Hong Yi thought to himself.
He also did not expect that there would be a breakthrough in the saber dance just now.
"My saber strike of combining spirit and body, won't the Qian Emperor think that I have cultivated dao techniques? Because no matter how strong a person who cultivates dao techniques is, it is impossible to combine spirit and body, and display a strike that is infinitely close to that of a Human Immortal. If that is the case, then I am even stronger than the Monogatari. "
Hong Yi pondered in his heart, but his face revealed an inscrutable expression. He had just provoked the Champion Marquis, and he had also declared to the Emperor that he had enough strength to contend with the Champion Marquis, and that he would not be roped in by him.
"Your Majesty! The Great Millet Divine Saber was destroyed when Hong Yi performed the saber dance. "
After a moment of sluggishness, the Minister of War once again came in front of Qian Emperor Yang Pan.
"Bring a smaller saber over! What do the great generals and experts think of Hong Yi's saber skills? "Qian Emperor Yang Pan asked.
"The great generals all think that Hong Yi's martial arts are profound and exquisite, and his strength is boundless. He is already a Martial Saint, and can directly become the Martial Scholar without the examination."
The Minister of War said.
In this martial examination, the great generals of the Imperial Army, the martial masters of the Martial Lecture Hall, and the Assistant Minister of War were the examiners. In fact, it was just the usual lineup for the martial examination.
The Emperor had come today, not as the chief examiner, so in order to maintain the dignity of the examination, the Emperor had to ask the chief examiner's opinion.
"Let's wait until the examination is over," the Qian Emperor said.
What happened next was, without a doubt, that the disciples of the aristocratic families took second place and third place, while Hong Yi's book on the art of war was beautifully written, and he once again took first place, becoming the Martial Scholar. This shocked the nobles of Jade Capital and the entire Da Qian military.
After becoming the Martial Scholar, the Qian Emperor summoned Hong Yi to his palace in the hunting grounds.
He became famous overnight!
