The snake monsters all hid in the Snake Valley.
The entrance to Snake Valley was previously blocked by Lin Zhenliang and his men. Martial arts students who approached here were either eliminated by Lin Zhenliang and his men, or had to stay away from Snake Valley and look for snake monsters in other places on Snake Island.
Now Lin Zhenliang and the other two have been eliminated by Zhang Lingfeng.
There is no one blocking Snake Valley anymore.
Zhang Lingfeng will not hinder everyone from entering the Snake Valley to kill the snake monster. Whether they can pass the test depends on their abilities. Zhang Lingfeng will not interfere.
So he and Mingcheng entered the Snake Valley one after another.
Mingcheng was attacked by Pan Keming. Although he did not die, he was seriously injured. If he were alone, it would be impossible for him to pass the assessment.
Fortunately, Zhang Lingfeng helped. He used his mental power to assist Mingcheng, allowing Mingcheng to easily kill a snake demon in the skull realm.
About two hours later, Mingcheng completed the assessment first and disappeared into the starry world.
Zhang Lingfeng then completed the task and disappeared from people's sight.
So far, in this national examination, Jiangbei Province, which had always been unpopular, not only had martial arts students advance to the second round, but even the two martial arts students who were considered for consideration finally advanced to the third round.
On the other hand, among the fourth-tier provinces, Jiangnan Province, which has always been domineering and ambitious, claiming that it would produce a domain master within three years and wanted to leap into the third-tier province, all five martial arts students were eliminated in the second round, and they were eliminated by the same person.
Such a huge contrast quickly caused a sensation.
Many people whispered.
People in the Great Xia Kingdom began to pay attention to Zhang Lingfeng.
"Zhang Lingfeng, he has advanced to the third round, and he did it by stepping on the bodies of five martial arts students from Jiangnan Province."
In the observation room of the third-tier province, Guo Wei was shocked and happy when he saw the list of qualifiers. Zhang Lingfeng really surprised him.
"If he was a martial arts student from a third-tier province, with his talent for training, as long as he worked a little harder, he might be qualified to compete with the geniuses from second-tier provinces."
He couldn't help but sigh.
For martial arts students from third-tier provinces, the second-round assessment standards are the same as those for martial arts students from fourth-tier provinces. As long as they can kill one hundred skull-level monsters, they can successfully advance.
However, the environment they are in is more dangerous than that of the Spirit Snake Island, as there are great demons in the Qi Realm in charge. Similarly, the assessment standards faced by martial arts students in first- and second-tier provinces are also higher.
But even so, their pass rate is far higher than that of martial arts students in third- and fourth-tier provinces.
Zhang Lingfeng and Mingcheng successfully advanced to the third round, breaking various records in Jiangbei Province and washing away the shame of Jiangbei Province. In particular, they personally eliminated five martial arts students from Jiangnan Province. The entire Jiangbei Province cheered for them.
The news soon spread back to Jiangbei Province.
Wang Dashan, Zhuge Hou, Lin Qiying, Huo Guoqiong, Huang Ling, Hong Lixin, Yang Liru, and even Chen Duling, Ye Xuan, Liu Baoqin and countless other people who have dealt with Zhang Lingfeng or have not dealt with him, are all happy for Zhang Lingfeng.
"Zhang Lingfeng, you will be my role model from now on."
Lai Zhijun continued to practice the thirteen basic marksmanship techniques on the rooftop. He had just received an admission contract from Shenwu University. When he learned that Zhang Lingfeng had advanced to the third round of the national examination, he was both happy and shocked.
"Hey."
Yan Fei had mixed feelings, and remained silent like Ye Chen.
Both of them are from Jiangnan Province.
Yan Fei was initially invited to Jiangbei Province to teach martial arts students in Nancheng. Later, he received instructions from the Seven Star System Alliance to teach Zhang Lingfeng the body-tempering method.
With the help of Zhang Lingfeng, he obtained the meridian-opening liquid and successfully awakened the power of his blood, becoming a powerful person in the Zangxiang realm. Now, knowing that Zhang Lingfeng has swept all the martial arts students in Jiangnan Province, he has an indescribable complex emotion. He is happy for Zhang Lingfeng, but also frustrated by what happened to Jiangnan Province.
He knew that Jiangnan was a relatively xenophobic province.
As Zhang Lingfeng's teacher, there will definitely be countless disputes when I return to Jiangnan Province in the future.
Ocean City.
Inside the Jiangnan Provincial Residence.
Zheng Ningbo looked at Lin Zhenliang, Pan Keming, Jie Sha, Lin Yanping and Meng Dalai with a grim expression. They were ambitious for this national examination. Lin Zhenliang was placed with high hopes, not only to make it to the third round, but possibly to the fourth round as well.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Lingfeng suddenly appeared and eliminated them all in the second round.
What they couldn't accept was that Zhang Lingfeng didn't eliminate them one-on-one, but eliminated them when he was surrounded by multiple people.
"Mr. Zheng, Zhang Lingfeng's data analysis is out."
A woman said.
Zheng Ningbo rubbed his forehead and asked the woman to play Zhang Lingfeng's data analysis for everyone to see.
Then a light screen projection appeared in front of everyone.
Physical fitness: 530.0
Dharma: Sixth level
Bloodline Power: Advanced Bloodline, Five Elements Wind Leopard
Spear Intentions: Three-line Spear Intentions, Water, Wood, and Thunder
Mental power: Level 3, attack, defense
Spiritual state: unknown
Combat Power: 2300-2400
Lin Zhenliang and others looked at the information on the light screen and were speechless for a long time.
Finally, Lin Yanping said unconvincedly: "In the beginning, according to the data we got, his combat power value was no more than 1400.0. Dalai and I thought he would be with Mingcheng, so we went together."
The implication is that if it weren't for Mingcheng, Lin Yanping would have wanted to kill Zhang Lingfeng alone, but they were both killed instantly by Zhang Lingfeng.
If the intelligence hadn't been wrong, they wouldn't have suffered such a huge setback.
"Get rid of all those who provided information to Zhang Lingfeng. These parasites will cause Jiangnan Province to fail to become a third-tier province within three years."
Zheng Ningbo looked gloomy.
"Yes."
The woman replied.
"Could it be that even if there are Travelers in Jiangnan Province, we can't become a third-tier province?"
Lin Zhenliang asked.
“If you want to be promoted to a third-tier province, you must have sufficient potential and value, and must undergo strict scrutiny by the Seven Star System Alliance.
Domain Builder is just one of the standards.
Generally speaking, the Seven Star System Alliance will compare the data of the major fourth-tier provinces.
If the data of Jiangbei Province is not much different from that of Jiangnan Province, even if there are travelers in Jiangnan Province, the Seven Star System Alliance will not easily upgrade Jiangnan Province to a third-tier province. Instead, they will tilt resources towards Jiangbei Province to see how high the potential of Jiangbei Province is.
Only when Jiangnan Province's data far exceeds that of other provinces will it be eligible to be promoted to a third-tier province, and you will be able to receive more training resource subsidies."
Zheng Ningbo said.
"This...what if Zhang Lingfeng advances to the fourth round?"
Lin Zhenliang said worriedly.
Now that Zhang Lingfeng's combat power has surpassed his and he has advanced to the third round, the resource subsidies he will receive will be more than his. If he advances to the fourth round, the gap between him and Zhang Lingfeng will only get wider.
Perhaps even the promotion of Jiangnan Province will be seriously affected.
After all, the strength of martial arts students accounts for a large proportion of the status and strength of a province.
“There’s no way he’s going to make it past the fourth round.”
Zheng Ningbo said.
"I have contacted Lao Yang. He said he can arrange everything, but the prerequisite is that we have to give three bottles of spiritual medicine."
A middle-aged man said, "Give it to him."
Zheng Ningbo said without hesitation.
"Mr. Zheng."
Lin Zhenliang became anxious.
The spiritual potion is priceless. If he had advanced to the third round, the spiritual potion would have been his resource subsidy. Now that he has handed it all over, it will not be so easy for him to obtain this resource again.
"It's just your bad luck. For the sake of Jiangnan Province, I have to put you in a difficult position temporarily."
Zheng Ningbo said helplessly.
He knew that with Lin Zhenliang's strength and talent, if he could take a bottle of spiritual medicine, he might be able to quickly possess the spiritual realm.
But in order to stop Zhang Lingfeng's rise and prevent Jiangbei Province from stealing all the limelight from Jiangnan Province, Zheng Ningbo had no choice but to do this.
Hearing this, Lin Zhenliang couldn't help but clench his fists. If Zhang Lingfeng hadn't appeared out of nowhere and ruined their Jiangnan Province plan, he wouldn't have ended up in such a situation.
Not only was he eliminated in the second round.
He also lost a bottle of priceless spiritual medicine.
You know, Guo Wei taught Zhang Lingfeng how to practice, helped Zhang Lingfeng find the source of the gun intent, and let Zhang Lingfeng understand the three lines of gun intent. Only when he completed these things in less than a month could he obtain a bottle of spiritual medicine.
Moreover, this spiritual medicine is in short supply and can only be obtained through merit and the Seven Star System Alliance.
This shows how precious the spiritual medicine is.
Thinking of this, Lin Zhenliang was really furious, and unknowingly, his body resonated with the heaven and earth again, and the power of heaven and earth around him poured into his body frantically.
There was a crunching sound.
Just like his body was reborn and his flesh and blood shed a layer of shell, Lin Zhenliang actually successfully opened the seventh level of Dharmakāya at this moment and became a genuine Qi-phase realm powerhouse.
At this moment, the combat power value exceeded 2500.0.
"This……"
Everyone was shocked and looked at Lin Zhenliang in disbelief.
Even Zheng Ningbo was caught off guard. He was surprised and delighted. But as he thought about it, his expression darkened again and he became extremely angry.
“I finally broke through.”
"Mr. Zheng, I have opened the seventh level of Dharma, and I have become a Qi-phase warrior. Mr. Zheng..."
Lin Zhenliang was so excited that he burst into tears.
Suddenly he saw Zheng Ningbo's expression change. Realizing the same problem, he couldn't help but feel sad. He punched the floor uncontrollably and said angrily, "If it weren't for Zhang Lingfeng, with my current strength, I would have been able to advance to the fourth round for Jiangnan Province!"
"Damn it, why didn't my Dharmakāya awaken earlier? Even if it was just half a day earlier, the one who was eliminated would be Zhang Lingfeng, not me!"
"why?"
"Why!"
"Bang bang bang!"
The more he thought about it, the angrier he got. Lin Zhenliang punched the ground repeatedly with his fists, making a hole.
Pan Keming, Jie Sha, Lin Yanping and Meng Dalai all looked at Lin Zhenliang with sympathy. Lin Zhenliang was the strongest among the five of them and also their role model. They had always been confident that Lin Zhenliang would achieve good results in the third round of assessments.
Unexpectedly, in the second round, I encountered a character like Zhang Lingfeng.
Not only were they eliminated, but even Lin Zhenliang was killed.
What is even more unacceptable is that a few hours after Lin Zhenliang was eliminated, he actually successfully opened the seventh level of Dharmakāya and became a genuine Qi-phase warrior with a combat power value of over 2500.0. In their eyes, this is enough to crush Zhang Lingfeng.
As a result, he was not only eliminated by Zhang Lingfeng, but also stopped in the second round.
One can imagine how strong this blow was.
Even Zheng Ningbo, who had already accepted the reality, couldn't help but curse, "Fuck!"
……
Inside the Jiangbei Provincial Residence.
Zhang Lingfeng and Mingcheng each received a bottle of spiritual replenishing fluid. Although the spiritual replenishing fluid is not as good as the spiritual medicine, and is even far from it, it can also effectively increase spiritual power, at least making up for the spiritual consumption of Zhang Lingfeng and Mingcheng during the assessment.
The fact that both of them entered the third round caught everyone in Jiangbei Province by surprise.
The King of Jiangbei specially gave each of them a precious resource subsidy.
At the same time, he reminded, "In the third round of assessment tomorrow, you will compete with martial artists from third-tier provinces. Many of them have the strength of the Qi Realm or even the God Realm. You just need to do your best and hold on as long as you can. Don't push yourself too much. Being able to advance to the third round has already exceeded everyone's expectations. In the fourth round, we will fight hard and we won't force it."
"Okay, thank you Mr. Zhao."
Zhang Lingfeng and Mingcheng said at the same time.
"Has the third round of assessment format been announced now?"
Mingcheng asked.
"If nothing unexpected happens, it should be an actual battle."
Ao Dagang said.
"Almost every national exam in the past, once you enter the third round, it is a practical test, so if you encounter an opponent you can't beat, don't push yourself too hard. As a martial arts student from a fourth-tier province, you have already created a miracle by advancing to the third round and competing with martial arts students from third-tier provinces."
King Jiangbei echoed.
"Will there be any danger to life in actual combat?"
Zhang Lingfeng asked.
"That's not the case, but there are exceptions. In short, you have to be careful in everything you do. You have to cooperate with each other and go as far as you can. If there is really hope... then give it your all!"
King Jiangbei didn't dare to force it, but he still held a glimmer of hope towards Zhang Lingfeng in his heart.
Zhang Lingfeng was able to eliminate Lin Zhenliang, Pan Keming, Jie Sha, Lin Yanping, and Meng Dalai one after another. His strength is already comparable to some martial arts students from third-tier provinces.
As he was a third-level psychic master, there was still hope for him to enter the fourth round.
"Ling Feng, tell us honestly, what level of Dharmakāya are you at?"
Ao Dagang asked.
Although their mental powers were greater than Zhang Lingfeng's, since Zhang Lingfeng also possessed mental power, they could no longer easily see Zhang Lingfeng's level of Dharmakāya.
But as the only destructive psychic in Jiangbei Province, King Jiangbei could still sense that Zhang Lingfeng's sea of consciousness value was between 3.0 and 3.99.
"The sixth floor."
Zhang Lingfeng said truthfully.
Although they had been prepared, King Jiangbei and his companions still felt empty in their hearts. If Zhang Lingfeng could successfully open the seventh level of Dharma and become a genuine Qi-phase realm warrior, then it might be possible for them to impact the fourth round.
However, thinking back to the time period when Zhang Lingfeng opened the Zang phase, they were already surprised that he could open the sixth level of the Dharma phase during the national examination.
It is not easy to open the gas phase as well.
Everyone felt that they were a little too fanciful. In order not to put too much pressure on Zhang Lingfeng, Jiang Bei Wang and Ao Dagang quickly ended the conversation and let Zhang Lingfeng and Mingcheng go back to rest.
Zhang Lingfeng returned to the room, first took some spiritual replenishing fluid, and then checked the panel information.
(I will continue to write, there is more!)
