Chapter 93: Unrivaled in Martial Arts Test
As he was speaking, Fu Leisheng had already written an eight-part essay. Although it was also more than 200 words, it was well-balanced and covered the introduction, continuation of the topic, introduction, beginning, middle part, end and conclusion. It was concise and to the point, extremely exquisite, with gorgeous parallel prose and easy to read.

Tian Huaiyi praised it, blew the ink dry, and said, "The county magistrate just died. Now Xinxiang County has no county magistrate, so it will be much easier to cheat in this county exam. By the time the higher-ups appoint a new county magistrate, this matter will have long passed and no one will investigate."

Fu Leisheng said: "He is just a scholar, who would come to check?"

Tian Huaiyi said: "There is also Shen Yusheng, who has a prosperous literary career and is favored by the true god. He has obtained a divine fetus, which may attract many people's jealousy. Master, please protect him more. He has a bright future and does not need to take the county exam again. He can at least become a juren."

Fu Leisheng nodded and said with embarrassment: "The provincial examination will be held in autumn. Only if you pass the examination, you don't have to worry about someone cutting off your divine fetus. We have to protect him until autumn. Fortunately, the Zhao family has fallen."

Tian Huaiyi smiled when he heard this: "Fortunately, the Zhao family fell. If the Zhao family hadn't fallen, Junior Brother Shen's divine fetus would definitely not be safe!"

Although there are still some powerful families in Xinxiang County today, their influence is far less than that of the Zhao family.

The new governor of the provincial capital has not yet taken office, and is still chopping off the heads of the Zhao family, and has not yet finished. Although there are many aristocratic families in the provincial capital, they are all in a panic at this moment, fearing that they cannot protect themselves, and probably have no time to come to the countryside to dig out the divine fetus.

Fu Leisheng recalled the past and said, "Back then, there was also a supreme divine fetus in our county, one level higher than the previous one, called the Xiantian Dao Fetus. I heard that it was dug up by someone."

Tian Huaiyi said, "I know about this, too. He and I took the county exam together. During the exam, a true god descended upon us. At the time, I was still mobilizing my true energy and trying to cast a spell when I heard a commotion. It was said that a country boy was blessed by the true god and given a divine fetus. This incident caused quite a stir. Later, I heard that the divine fetus of this country boy could not be preserved and he died."

Fu Leisheng sighed and said, "I heard about this, too. I heard that the kid took the eight-part essay test and ranked first among all fifty provinces. Everyone who had read his essay praised him. He also broke the record in the martial arts test. The range of his spells surpassed the limit of the Ziwu Xie Zhan Sword and reached thirty-six feet! Before this, the longest record of the Ziwu Xie Zhan Sword was only twenty-seven feet! He pushed the record forward by nine feet! This record has not been broken to this day."

Tian Huaiyi asked: "Master, do you still remember the name of that child?"

Fu Leisheng shook his head: "It's been too long, who still remembers?"

Tian Huaiyi said: "Several examiners were sitting next to me at the time, and I heard them discussing that this child's innate Dao fetus could be sold for a good price, and someone in Xijing would definitely offer a high price. Coincidentally, the person who got the innate Dao fetus was also named Chen Shi."

He raised Chen Shi's answer sheet and said with a smile, "It's the same name as the rebel junior brother."

This coincidence made Fu Leisheng marvel at it. He said, "What kind of extraordinary talent does Chen Shi have to obtain the innate Dao fetus? If Chen Shi can have half of his talent, my Wencai Academy would be very lucky."

He shook his head, turned and left, then suddenly stopped.

"Huaiyi, you must protect Shen Yusheng, just like I protected you back then!"

Fu Leisheng said sternly, "It's hard for a poor family to have a son, and even if one is born, it can't be kept. This is the way the world is, but we have to keep it no matter what, otherwise there will be no hope!"

Tian Huaiyi looked solemn, bowed and said: "Master, rest assured, Huaiyi will do his best to ensure the safety of Junior Brother Shen!"

The descent of the gods caused quite a stir, and Tian Huaiyi ordered that no one should reveal Shen Yusheng's name or the grade of the divine fetus.

However, by the afternoon, almost the entire Xinxiang County knew that there was a child named Shen Yusheng, who had been gifted with a divine fetus by the true god during the literary examination. It was a first-grade divine fetus, called Wenchang Xuantai, which was as famous as the Ziyu divine fetus.

This incident made Tian Huaiyi furious. He called the examiners together, scolded them and asked who leaked the information, but no one admitted it.

Although he knew that it was one of his own people who leaked the information, he had no evidence and had to suppress the matter for the time being.

The next day was the military examination, which was held at the military preparation field outside the city.

The content of the martial arts test is very simple. That is, without the divine fetus, the students must condense their true energy, transform it into sword energy, and penetrate a straw mat hanging ten feet away to pass the test.

However, six kinds of sword energy need to be displayed.

Chen Shi, Hu Feifei and other students from Wencai Academy came to the examination room and prepared themselves. There was a crowd of people outside the martial arts examination room, including many students' relatives who came to watch, and there were also private school teachers.

It is very difficult to cheat in the military exam, so it is much more relaxed and people don’t mind others watching.

In the military training field, only 30% of the students were able to fully unleash the six styles of sword energy, and even fewer could release it more than ten feet away.

Most people have difficulty completing the six styles of sword energy, and it is even more difficult to release it ten feet away and still maintain accuracy. Although many people hit the straw mats, they are often the straw mats in other people's ranks.

Seeing this, Chen Shi felt relieved.

He originally thought that the Ziwu Zhanxie Sword that he had learned haphazardly would not be able to pass the test and would definitely not be up to standard, but now it seems that it is still much better than most students.

"I'm sure I won't get a particularly good score in the martial arts exam, but as long as I do well enough in the literary exam, I can still easily pass the exam to become a scholar!"

Soon it was Hu Feifei's turn. This vixen was very powerful. She performed the six moves of stabbing, slashing, wiping, picking, clouding and chopping perfectly. Her sword moves, hand gestures and posture were impeccable and graceful.

Her sword energy was released with a loud sound of breaking through the air. As soon as the sound was made, the straw mat ten feet away was pierced!

There were other mats behind the first row of mats, hung every ten feet. However, the sword energy of most students was not able to break through more mats, and there were not many sword marks on these mats.

Hu Feifei's sword energy broke through seventeen straw mats in a row before its power was exhausted.

Tian Huaiyi and a group of examiners were extremely surprised and looked at her.

Even a person at the Divine Embryo Realm might not be able to display sword energy of this power. It is already close to the power limit of the Ziwu Evil-Slaying Sword!
"Wencai Academy is home to many talented people."

One examiner stroked his beard and smiled, "Congratulations, Mr. Tian."

Tian Huaiyi smiled and said, "Master, your teaching is good. What does it have to do with me?"

He looked towards the field and saw Chen Shi coming to the front of the straw mat, eager to try.

Tian Huaiyi looked at him from afar and soon discovered that Chen Shi's foundation was not solid. These were the key points for scoring. It was obvious that Chen Shi had not received any special training.

"The starting position of the Ziwu Xie Zhan Sword is wrong, the posture is also a bit wrong, the sword moves are ambiguous, and the body movements are not smooth enough."

He shook his head and thought, "In this martial arts test, the only one who performed well was Hu Feifei. Shen Yusheng did not participate. He has already obtained the divine fetus, so he does not need to take the test again. He can just prepare for the provincial examination in the fall. It is already remarkable that my teacher's literary talent academy can produce two extremely talented students..."

Fu Leisheng also immediately noticed Chen Shi's various faults and couldn't help wondering, "Could it be that someone else killed the county magistrate and his wife that night?"

Suddenly, there was a loud thunder in the field, which stunned many students who were practicing their luck. The sword energy that many of them had gathered with great difficulty was scattered in fear. Some people were so scared that their hands shook, and the sword energy flew everywhere, almost killing several students.

Tian Huaiyi looked hurriedly and saw a sword energy breaking through the air. The straw mats in front of him exploded one after another. The sword energy whistled with a thundering sound, and in an instant it passed through thirty-six feet and pierced through all twenty-seven straw mats!
Tian Huaiyi's heart was beating violently and his pupils shrank suddenly.

Ten years ago, Chen Shi, who ranked first among the fifty provinces, released a sword energy that reached thirty-six feet, setting a record that no one could break. Therefore, only twenty-seven straw mats were prepared for the martial arts test, and the twenty-seventh was placed thirty-six feet away.

This record has remained unbroken until today!

He stood up suddenly and looked thirty-six feet away, with an anxious look on his face. He shouted at the invigilator, "Run! Run quickly! See how far that sword energy is!"

The invigilator was already dumbfounded. Upon hearing the words, he ran hurriedly towards the 27th straw mat.

Outside the military preparation field, Fu Leisheng also became anxious and shouted to the yamen runners: "Armor and horse talisman! Use the armor and horse talisman!"

The bailiffs hurriedly activated their armor and horse talismans, but they still could not catch up with the sword energy.

Tian Huaiyi suddenly exerted force on his feet and ran wildly, chasing after the sword energy.

This is a record-breaking sword. We must accurately measure the power limit of this sword energy and how far it can reach!
However, just as he started to move, a strong wind blew by, and he saw that the crown of a big tree about sixty or seventy feet away suddenly lost half of its treetop, and countless branches and leaves fell off.

Tian Huaiyi stopped in his tracks, furious, veins popping out on his forehead, and shouted, "Wind-Fixing Talisman! Where's the Wind-Fixing Talisman? Who embezzled it?"

The Wind-Fixing Talisman is a necessary talisman for the martial arts examination. It is drawn on a wooden plaque. Before the exam, a talisman master must come and draw it with black dog blood and cinnabar to activate its power.

Wooden signs should be inserted around the examination room to control the wind direction. Otherwise, when strong winds blow, the students' sword energy may deviate from the direction, which may easily hurt others and make it difficult to evaluate their scores.

Chen Shi's sword energy was blown off course by the sudden strong wind, causing it to fly into the air. It was impossible to judge at what distance the sword energy's power was exhausted.

"My lord, it's not their fault."

An examiner quickly caught up with Tian Huaiyi and whispered, "The number of wind-fixing talismans is not large to begin with, and the farthest they can fix is ​​thirty-six feet."

Tian Huaiyi suddenly came to his senses, nodded slightly, and the anger in his heart dissipated. He said, "I was anxious."

Just as he said this, there was suddenly another thunderous explosion. Chen Shi swung out his second sword energy, which broke through the air with a thunderous sound, and rolled forward at an extremely fast speed!

Tian Huaiyi didn't bother to say anything else, and immediately ran forward, and at the same time he was shocked: "It was the sword energy released by Junior Brother Chen!"

He didn't see who the owner of the sword energy was just now, but now he saw clearly that it was emitted by Chen Shi.

The speed of this sword energy is not as fast as the first one. The first sword energy was a stabbing sword style, which was the fastest sword among the Ziwu Zhanxie Sword, while this one is a cutting sword style.

The slashing sword style is different from the chopping sword style. The chopping sword style is to split an object from the center, while the slashing sword style is to cut an object along the cross section. For example, beheading is to cut off the neck, and cutting in the waist is to cut it from the waist.

The sword-slashing style has the power of refining. Compared with the sword-stabbing style, its speed is slightly slower, but its power is extremely great.

However, even if Tian Huaiyi ran forward with all his might, he still couldn't catch up with the sword energy. He was shocked: "The power of this sword energy is a bit outrageous! I can't catch up, I can't catch up at all... Use the Armor Horse Talisman!"

He paused, and the armor and horse talisman burst out.

At the same time, a sense of absurdity arose in his heart: "This is not a battlefield of life and death, it is just a martial arts test for students, and I would actually use the armor and horse talisman!"

Outside the field, Fu Leisheng was also running hard, trying to catch up with the sword energy.

The two men were determined to see the limit of Chen Shi's sword, and they ran as hard as they could. Tian Huaiyi activated the Jia Ma Fu, making him faster, while the power of the sword-slashing style in front of him weakened and his speed also slowed down.

Fu Leisheng and Tian Huaiyi were delighted that they had finally caught up with the sword energy, but they saw that the sword energy still flew more than ten feet away before dissipating.

The two men came to the place where the sword energy dissipated, one after the other, each with a smile on their face. When they looked back, their smiles froze on their faces.

They had already rushed out of the martial arts arena and came to a distance of more than ten feet outside the arena, about eighty feet away from where Chen Shi launched his sword energy.

"call out--"

Another sound of breaking through the air was heard, passing through the space between the two people with incredible accuracy. It was a sword-wiping move, the sword energy was delicate, like a snake spitting out its tongue, and the attack range was narrow.

But because of its exquisiteness, the sword energy is more condensed, so it is faster and flies farther.

There was a "whoosh" sound behind them, and the sword energy was blown off course by the wind, piercing through the trunk of a large tree.

"Eighty-four feet." Tian Huaiyi exhaled.

Another sword energy flew over, this was the sword-raising style.

Sword energy rose from the ground, and wherever it passed, the ground exploded as if air was being released.

Many examiners and yamen runners were chasing towards this side and were nearly cut in half by the sword energy from bottom to top, so they hurriedly dodged.

"Sixty-two feet." Fu Leisheng said woodenly.

Then the cloud sword flew over, and the sword energy rotated like a wheel.

"Seventy-one feet." Tian Huaiyi's eyes twitched.

Finally, Chen Shi made a sword gesture with his hands and slashed the sword. As the sword fell, one sword energy after another slashed forward in succession, like a relay, with increasing power!
The ground kept breaking apart under the sword energy, and finally, with the most powerful sword energy falling, the chevaux de frise at the military field fell apart and shattered all over the ground.

"Seventy feet." Fu Leisheng frowned.

After the six moves of Ziwu Zhanxie Sword were completed, Chen Shi imitated the other students and awkwardly performed the disciple salute to the examiner's seat, then withdrew. However, there was no examiner at the examiner's seat, and they all ran out.

"Teacher, what should I do?"

Tian Huaiyi's mouth was trembling, as if he was smiling but not smiling, as if he was crying but not crying, "He has surpassed the top 50 people in the province ten years ago by so much. Should the student report his results truthfully, or should he change his results to a lower level?"

If it wasn't corrected, I'm afraid Xijing would be shocked by the result and come to investigate. Once they investigate, they will find out that Chen Shi cheated in the written test and he didn't write the essay at all!
By then, both the master and the disciple will have to walk through the Ten Thousand Soul Banners!
Fu Leisheng murmured, "If it's a little different, it will be earth-shattering. How much do you want to change it?"

Tian Huaiyi’s head is as big as a bucket.

This record has been broken so many times that it would be difficult to cheat even if one wanted to!
