Chapter 66

There was no doubt that Fang Liuxian was asking about Hua Su, and it could not be anyone else.

Jiang Feng did not answer for a moment.

Hua Su's strength was indeed astonishing, yet he was hidden in a small place like Linxi County, which must have a special reason. He was unsure if Hua Su wanted to hide his identity.

But upon reflection, Hua Su had not changed his name and had even opened a martial arts school, teaching disciples. It was impossible to keep this completely hidden.

He nodded and said, "The teacher who taught me this move indeed surnames Hua, but I don't know if it's the one you're talking about."

Ping Luan immediately shouted, "Teacher Hua is biased! Why teach you such a cool move and not me!"

Jiang Feng glanced at him and said lightly, "Maybe it's because someone was asking for death, which attracted a second-rank Ming plant to test Teacher Hua's strength?"

Ping Luan immediately recalled what had happened. He turned his head away, a bit embarrassed, and then suddenly realized, "Right, you learned it then!"

At that time, Jiang Feng was about to help Ping Luan, and Hua Su blew a breath, freezing the giant tree, while also guiding the Ming force within Jiang Feng, allowing him to understand how to use Ming force to attack through the air.

At that moment, Jiang Feng had only a slight understanding. Afterward, he continued to try controlling the Ming force, limiting its range, and practiced alone for a long time, but never achieved the best results.

Just before the official match, Hua Su had the guard hand him the gold elemental core, and Jiang Feng immediately thought of this unique technique. This time, he just tried it out and found that his control over the Ming force had improved, allowing him to precisely use air bursts on the stage!

If all of this was planned by Hua Su, it could only prove that his strength was unfathomable.

Fang Liuxian, hearing their conversation, was both surprised and delighted, "Is your teacher really surnamed Hua? Where is he?"

When he learned that they were from the Yuan Shan Martial Arts School in Linxi County, Fang Liuxian nodded and turned to leave.

Hong Cheng whispered, "We won't cause any trouble for Teacher Hua, right?"

Jiang Feng shook his head thoughtfully, "I don't think Inspector Fang has any ill intentions..."

He turned to Teng Zhi and raised his eyebrows, asking, "Are you coming back to Yuan Shan with us?"

Teng Zhi tightly pursed his lips and said stiffly, "I made the bet, I will honor it!"

His attitude was not very friendly, but Jiang Feng just smiled. Ping Luan glared at Teng Zhi fiercely and whispered, "Be careful with this guy!"

Jiang Feng smiled and said, "Yeah, I know!"

The matches on the stage continued, one after another, with the results being decided.

By the time the sun set in the afternoon, the scores of 103 candidates were all displayed, and the Linxi County list stopped changing.

103 names were neatly arranged, with the top ten in red, the next twenty in green, and the rest in black.

The name at the very top, slightly golden in the bright red, was like a flame burning brightly at the top of the list.

Jiang Feng!

522 points!

Although everyone knew he was the top of the exam, when they saw the name and the score, they all involuntarily held their breath.

The first round of the Heavenly Test: one chain and zero cavities, seven breaths, a total of 70 points.

The second round of the Earthly Test: completed in just twelve minutes, with a score bonus, a total of 302 points.

The final round of the Human Test: three wins, a total of 150 points.

Without a doubt, in all three rounds of the county exam, he won by a large margin, with an absolute overwhelming advantage compared to others!

And Jiang Feng was just a young man who had just entered the realm.

The second place was Hong Cheng, with 390 points, also from the Yuan Shan Martial Arts School.

Hong Cheng stared at his score, surprised and a bit at a loss.

When he received the Tianzhao Order from Teacher Hua that morning, he was still worried about failing the county exam and wasting the precious token. He never expected to get second place, not only passing the county exam but also obtaining a pass to the state exam!

His chest heaved violently, and it took a while for him to calm down.

At that moment, something was burning in his eyes, something was collapsing in his heart, and something was being built.

Jiang Feng turned to look at him and smiled slightly.

Compared to the huge gap between the first and second place, the scores of the next nine places were relatively close, often differing by less than ten points.

Ping Luan ranked sixth, also qualifying for the state exam.

Teng Zhi had been leading by a significant margin, but after losing to Jiang Feng in the last match, he lost fifty points and barely ranked ninth, almost falling out of the top ten.

Perhaps influenced by Jiang Feng, the students of the Guten Martial Arts School frequently made mistakes in the Human Test. Including Teng Zhi, only four of them made it into the top ten. If Teng Zhi was not counted, the number was exactly the same as the Yuan Shan Martial Arts School.

However, it should be noted that Yuan Shan only sent five people, while Guten sent ten, all of whom were carefully selected from Linxi County by the martial arts instructors!

Wang Erhu and Xiang Sheng ranked 18th and 26th, not very high, but still within the qualifying range.

The two were so surprised that their faces turned red.

Passing the county exam and obtaining the qualification for martial cultivation meant that they and their families would enter a new class and live a completely different life!

When the scores and rankings were first displayed, the field was silent, with emotions fluctuating in the crowd.

Not long after, various sounds began to appear.

Cheers, disappointed complaints...

Compared to before, the latter type of sound was much less.

Many people surged toward Jiang Feng, shouting, "Top of the exam, top of the exam, let me touch you! Get some good luck!"

This time, Jiang Feng could no longer maintain his previous calm. His face fell, and he turned to run.

The crowd kept coming, and even with his skills, Jiang Feng could not escape. In a moment, his hair and clothes were grabbed into a mess, and many people wanted to get some souvenirs from him to ensure they would pass the next exam.

Ping Luan laughed maliciously, and Jiang Feng, rarely losing his composure, cursed him.

Hong Cheng and the other three were still somewhat conscientious. They rushed forward to protect Jiang Feng and led him out.

The surrounding guards could not help but smile, seeing Jiang Feng rush to their side, and joked, "Top of the exam, give us a hair, get some good luck too!"

Teng Zhi was pushed around in the crowd, watching Jiang Feng and the others leave like a small boat in the waves, feeling somewhat lost.

He looked at Jiang Feng and then at the direction of the Guten Martial Arts School. At some point, all the people from the Guten Martial Arts School had disappeared from the field. After Teng Zhi's defeat, he received nothing from his own people, not even a word of comfort or a scolding. He was like a forgotten person, left behind.

At this moment, Jiang Feng turned his head and called, "Senior Teng, come over quickly, it's time to register!"

Teng Zhi, as if waking from a dream, came to his senses and subconsciously followed the call, standing silently behind him.

...

...

Jiang Feng finally squeezed into a hall in the county office, with the other candidates being blocked outside by the guards.

He finally breathed a sigh of relief, tidied his clothes, and smiled bitterly, "This is more terrifying than fighting a Ming beast."

His shirt was torn in large pieces, and one of his sleeves was missing. If it weren't for the sturdy leather armor on his body, he might have had to run naked today.

Ping Luan followed behind him, laughing uncontrollably, "Right, at least Ming beasts won't tear your clothes!"

Jiang Feng glared at him and threatened, "If this happens again, I'll throw you out as a sacrifice!"

Ping Luan laughed smugly, "Unfortunately, they only want you, not me!"

They were called here by a minor official, and soon the other top ten candidates also entered. Among them were three people from the Guten Martial Arts School. The atmosphere became tense as the two sides faced each other.

The three people from Guten stood on one side, looking at Jiang Feng with a sneer.

Teng Zhi, who was originally a bit uncomfortable, became cautious and puzzled when he noticed their expressions.

Soon, Fang Liuxian and Qu Chun, two inspectors, also entered the room.

As soon as they entered, they immediately bowed and smiled, "Congratulations, you are the top ten in this Linxi County exam. Your names will be permanently recorded in the county annals! At the same time, you automatically receive the Tianzhao Order for the state exam. Of course, whether you want to continue to the next round is up to you."

The minor official who called them in eagerly presented a tray, "The nearby academies have already sent their information. If you do not wish to participate in the state exam, you can choose one to attend."

After the major exam, the next step is to choose an academy for further study. The higher the exam, the more choices you have.

An academy is a small society, and entering an academy marks the true beginning of a martial cultivator's life.

Now, the field outside had quieted down. Those who did not pass had already left, and the remaining twenty candidates were being guided by specialized personnel to choose their academies.

Of course, if they were dissatisfied with their results and had the opportunity, they could continue to take the next county exam. But in a small place like Linxi County, most people would not choose to retake the exam.

Fang Liuxian waved his sleeve and sat behind a desk, picking up a pen. He smiled at the ten people in front of him and said, "Next, I will register your information and issue the Tianzhao Order. At the same time, we will send a special person to inform your families of your results. Hahaha, returning home in glory, nothing could be better!"

His gaze fell on Jiang Feng, and his smile became even brighter, "Jiang Feng, you are the top of this county exam, let's start with you... Hmm? You are surnamed Jiang? Could you be from the Jiang family?"

Jiang Feng lifted his eyes, his gaze clear and sharp, "Inspector Fang, I would like to delay informing my family."
