Chapter 52

A series of divine senses locked onto Jiang Anping, and many people activated their spiritual energy, ready to take action.

"I told you! Jiang Anping is not a spy!!"

Meng Jing roared, the lightning around her body flashing uncontrollably, her hair flying, "Whoever dares to make a move, I will destroy them!"

Ma Wei was inwardly overjoyed, yes! Just stay angry!

As long as she dares to attack others, she will definitely be expelled by the princess!

"The Lingtai Kingdom has killed our Great Xia warriors, causing countless people to be displaced, and has drained our national strength. Anyone who harms our Great Xia must not be allowed to live!"

Ma Wei, with a look of concern for the country and its people, continued to stir up trouble.

"Right! For the sake of the Great Xia, we must definitely eliminate the spies!"

A group of young people were filled with righteous indignation.

Jiang Anping's expression gradually turned cold, and the power in his body surged.

Just as the conflict was about to erupt, a wave of pressure descended, suppressing the power of everyone present.

"Jiang Anping is not a spy; I have already investigated it."

Xia Qing walked in, dressed in festive palace attire that night, looking dignified and beautiful, rivaling the moon.

"Lord Prefect!"

"Your Highness Princess!"

A group of people bowed in respect.

Xia Qing glanced at Ma Wei and Jiang Anping, "Today is a joyous occasion; there's no need to create unpleasantness."

"It's him who insists that Jiang Anping is a spy!" Meng Jing pointed at Ma Wei, her eyes red with anger.

"Isn't everything fine now?"

Xia Qing rubbed Meng Jing's head. Although he knew that Ma Wei was deliberately stirring up trouble, he couldn't say anything.

After all, the other young people were also worried about the Great Xia and were acting out of concern.

If he criticized Ma Wei, it might be seen as not caring about the safety of the country.

Seeing that the princess had said Jiang Anping was not a spy, the others put away their hostility.

Ma Wei's face showed no expression, but he was very disappointed inside. He had almost succeeded.

As long as a conflict erupted, Meng Jing and Jiang Anping would definitely be expelled.

Xia Qing looked around at the group of young people and said, "Today, besides congratulating everyone on the new year, the most important thing is about unity."

"Conflicts will certainly arise in the competition, but everyone is from the Great Xia and will be the pillars of the Great Xia in the future."

"For the development of the Great Xia and for everyone's better growth in the future, it is more beneficial to make more friends than to make more enemies."

"There is one month left before the quota competition ends. During this period, everyone should work hard to cultivate. Whether or not you can secure a quota, you will gain significant growth."

"The remaining time is yours, I won't put pressure on you. I wish everyone a pleasant time."

Xia Qing turned to the maidservant, "Give each person a thousand spirit stones in a red envelope."

For ordinary foundation-building cultivators in some sects, earning a hundred spirit stones a month is already quite good.

But here, just the red envelope contains a thousand spirit stones, and there are abundant resources every day.

The maidservant held a red storage bag and distributed the spirit stones to everyone.

"Thank you, Your Highness Princess!"

A group of people bowed in gratitude.

After the princess left, Meng Jing pointed at Ma Wei and shouted, "You wait, within a month, I will definitely trample you underfoot! Kick you out of the top ten!"

What unity, she didn't care. Ma Wei deliberately slandered Jiang Anping, which made her extremely angry.

Ma Wei's face was not good. He had to work hard to get to ninth place, otherwise, with the other party's strength, he might really be kicked out.

Getting a top ten competition slot would provide a huge amount of resources, which would greatly benefit his cultivation. He absolutely couldn't be kicked out.

Meng Jing had no mood to eat the meal. After receiving the red envelope, she pulled Jiang Anping away.

Being with this group of people was not fun at all; it was more enjoyable to be with the wooden one.

Before leaving, Jiang Anping took a monster leg. Not eating dinner could make him hungry.

"Don't be angry, I'll take revenge for you!"

Under the night sky, Meng Jing solemnly promised.

"I can handle it myself."

Jiang Anping was already preparing to start challenging tomorrow. He didn't say it, but it didn't mean he wasn't angry.

"Handle it yourself? Do you want to sneak attack? No way, the Prefect's Mansion is full of experts, you will definitely be discovered."

Meng Jing didn't think Jiang Anping would challenge.

She subconsciously thought that Jiang Anping was planning to sneak attack for revenge.

Jiang Anping didn't explain; even if he did, the other party wouldn't believe him.

The warm sun rose, and the new year arrived.

Many young people had just spent a pleasant night with everyone.

When they returned to the back mountain, they saw a figure standing at the entrance to the 29th level.

"Hey, you, the bottom-dweller, are you ready to start challenging?" Ma Wei, who had just returned, saw Jiang Anping.

His sharp tongue mocked again, "You need to work hard. There's only one month left. Try to stabilize yourself on the 29th level, ha ha~"

He didn't care about Jiang Anping and flew towards the mountain top.

Jiang Anping's expression was calm, showing no signs of joy or anger, just a glance at him.

Soon, the genius standing on the 29th level returned.

Jiang Anping clasped his hands and bowed slightly, "Please guide me."

"Intermediate martial artist? Your cultivation can't defeat me."

The young man was eighteen years old, wearing a black long robe, with a black sword hanging from his waist.

He wasn't mocking Jiang Anping; he just saw that the other party's cultivation was too low, so he advised him not to waste time.

Those who could stand on the mountain were all advanced martial artists or late-stage foundation-building cultivators.

The other party was just an intermediate martial artist, lacking in the energy contained within the body.

Jiang Anping continued to clasp his hands, "Please guide me."

Ren Ming shook his head helplessly.

He suspected that Jiang Anping had been stimulated by Ma Wei last night, so he decided to challenge.

He didn't know what Jiang Anping had been doing for the past four months, still just an intermediate martial artist.

"Be careful."

Ren Ming broke a branch with his hand and casually swung it. A terrifying sword aura cut through the ground, shattering rocks.

He wasn't taking it seriously; this strike was enough to defeat the other party.

Jiang Anping raised his hand, and a strange energy surged from his body.

The sword aura hit in front of him, and Jiang Anping's wrist turned, sending the terrifying sword aura back.

Ren Ming, who had been indifferent, suddenly narrowed his eyes and quickly drew his sword to block.

"Boom!"

The sword aura collided, and the powerful force kicked up a large amount of dust.

"Limitless Fist! You actually learned this technique!"

Ren Ming's face lost its contempt and was filled with shock and seriousness.

There weren't many techniques that could deflect an attack, and even fewer that could deflect it with just physical strength.

The most famous one was the "Limitless Fist."

"I've heard that only those who are steady can cultivate the 'Limitless Fist.' Today, I see that it is indeed so. To have been dormant on the 30th level for four months, I am impressed."

Ren Ming, who originally had no particular feelings about Jiang Anping, suddenly felt a sense of admiration.

"If you have fully mastered the 'Limitless Fist,' I will definitely lose. However, I won't give up easily. Let's fight! Let me see this top-tier technique!"

Ren Ming became serious, threw away the scabbard in his hand, and charged forward with his sword.

Jiang Anping's expression remained calm, and he raised his hand to fight.
