Chapter 188: First in the National Examination, Born with Spiritual Roots (Please Subscribe)
Zhang Lingfeng is full of curiosity about Liuchuan.

I always feel that this guy is far more than he seems on the surface, especially his understanding of first- and second-tier talented martial arts students is far beyond everyone else.

Secondly, he knows more about cultivation than I do.

It was a rare opportunity for them to sit together, and for the other party to take the initiative to find him.

So Zhang Lingfeng asked: "Who do you think will get first place in this national exam?"

"Qin Qianyu."

I thought Liuchuan would give a few candidates after careful consideration, but I didn't expect him to pick one person without hesitation. His simple and direct look made it seem as if Qin Qianyu was the number one in this national exam, an undisputed existence, and even he himself was convinced.

"You seem to think highly of him."

This was the first time Zhang Lingfeng heard this name.

Of the so-called first-line martial arts students, he only knew Lin Chunchi, whom he learned from Guo Wei. In the first round of elimination, he was fortunate enough to sit in the back row of the opponent team and had a chance to meet him.

The Qin Qianyu mentioned by Liuchuan must have been in the elimination round that day. Could he be the one who persisted to the end?

Zhang Lingfeng couldn't help but think of a young boy's back.

Could that person be Qin Qianyu?

"Not only do I think highly of him, the Seven Star System Alliance and even our Lord also think highly of him. He is the only person in this national exam who did not have to take the test and directly entered the final round. He won first place without any suspense."

Yanagawa said with envy.

Zhang Lingfeng was more and more surprised. Although he had just met Liu Chuan, Liu Chuan had a serious look on his face when he talked about Changshan Long before. But when facing Qin Qianyu, his expression was like that of a little fan. It can be seen that Qin Qianyu is indeed the well-deserved number one.

I just don’t know what Qin Qianyu has done to deserve this?
"What strength is he now?"

Zhang Lingfeng couldn't help but ask.

He vaguely remembered that Guo Wei once said that the person who got the first place in the last national examination was a person who had perfected the eighth level of Dharma and successfully opened up the Dantian Qi Sea.

Qin Qianyu can directly enter the final round without taking the assessment and wait for others to challenge him. It can be seen that Qin Qianyu's strength should be stronger than the previous national exam champion.

Could it be that the other party is also a domain traveler?
If he is so abnormal, let alone getting first place in the national exam, no one would be his match even among the top leaders of all the fourth-tier provinces.

"Not sure, but very strong."

Yanagawa shook his head and said with admiration.

"You don't even know his strength, how can you determine that he can get first place?"

Zhang Lingfeng was dissatisfied.

"Last month, he sparred with the previous national exam champion Wen Duoduo and defeated him with just one sword strike. Do you think he can take first place?"

Yanagawa said.

"what?"

Zhang Lingfeng was stunned.

"I happen to have the permission to view the video of their fight. It won't be against the rules if I show it to you."

Yanagawa smiled mysteriously.

After clicking on the bracelet, a small light screen popped up in front of the two people.

In the light curtain, there was a handsome young man, with one hand behind his back and two fingers of his right hand aligned to form a sword. He was confronting a young man who was mobilizing the power of the Qi sea in his Dantian.

"Howl!"

Suddenly, the boy waved his fingers.

The sword energy appeared out of nowhere, and in an instant it broke through the young man's Dantian Qi Sea power, severely injuring the young man with a single sword strike.

"The void becomes a sword, this?"

Zhang Lingfeng was stunned.

Although the scene he saw was just a projection on the light screen, for some reason, when Qin Qianyu swung the sword, Zhang Lingfeng felt that not only could he not feel the fluctuations of the power of heaven and earth around him, but even the power of his bloodline, the state of mind, and even the power of the domain were all suppressed by the sword.

It seemed as if Qin Qianyu's sword was extraordinary and had already transcended the scope of warriors. The power of spiritual roots had already been nurtured in his dantian.

It can sever the resonance between a warrior and the heaven and earth. It is a power that cannot be compensated by the Dharmakaya and the Dantian Qi Sea.

Could it be that Qin Qianyu is really a domain traveler?
What kind of talent and training resources are needed to achieve this?

"Qin Qianyu's sword has transcended the Five Elements and is not bound by the Five Elements' power. Even if you form the Five Elements Spear Intent and even reach the third level, you will not be able to block his sword."

Yanagawa admired sincerely.

In his heart, he had already regarded Qin Qianyu as a role model to pursue throughout his life.

"Beyond the Five Elements?"

"If blood can transcend the five elements, could it be possible that skills can also transcend the five elements?"

Zhang Lingfeng asked in confusion.

"Of course, it's not just about blood and skills, it's also about mental strength."

Yanagawa nodded.

"To what extent must one's skills and spiritual power reach in order to be considered beyond the Five Elements?"

Zhang Lingfeng couldn't help but ask.

“When skills or the mind resonate with the six forces, the intention or artistic conception formed is beyond the five elements.”

"However, my teacher said that the power that truly transcends the five elements needs to resonate with the five forces of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, and then resonate with other forces in heaven and earth."

“Although you have mastered the four elements of spear intent and four elements of artistic conception, two of the forces, wind and thunder, are outside the five elements. Even if you can resonate with the six forces of heaven and earth in the future and form a more powerful spear intent or artistic conception or even a domain, you will never be Qin Qianyu’s opponent.”

"Unless you have perfected the five elements foundation."

Yanagawa continued.

"Basic perfection means resonating with the five elemental forces of gold, wood, water, fire and earth?"

Zhang Lingfeng couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, but this is too difficult, especially the gold element. If you can resonate with it, all the metal forces around you will be your left and right arms."

"However, that would require a telepathic power of at least 10.0."

Yanagawa explained patiently.

"So, Qin Qianyu's spiritual power is at least above 10.0."

Zhang Lingfeng reasoned.

"Of course, not only does his skill power transcend the five elements, but his spiritual realm is also far beyond that of the same level strongmen. Some people assert that if Qin Qianyu successfully breeds spiritual roots, his spiritual root level can at least reach the upper grade."

Yanagawa said with envy.

"He hasn't become a Ranger yet?"

Zhang Lingfeng became more and more confused.

“It’s not easy to become a domain walker, but with his talent, it’s only a matter of time. Although his current strength is not as good as that of a domain walker, his skills and strength transcend the five elements, and no martial artist can be his opponent.

If his spiritual power can also transcend the five elements, then the spiritual roots he nurtures in the future may be of the highest quality. At that time, he will be a leader even among the practitioners in the realm. "

Liu Chuan is worthy of being Qin Qianyu's little fan. He seems to know a lot about Qin Qianyu.

"I never thought there is such a powerful monster in the world. He will definitely be able to participate in the continental exam and achieve good results for the Great Xia Kingdom."

Zhang Lingfeng couldn't help but sigh.

"I think so too, so I will also participate in the continental exam, fight alongside him, and win glory for the Great Xia Nation."

Yanagawa said sincerely.

“You’re actually pretty good too.”

Zhang Lingfeng encouraged.

"I know."

Yanagawa nodded seriously.

Zhang Lingfeng was amused by him and asked again: "Besides Qin Qianyu, which other martial arts students can bring pressure to you? For example, they have a greater chance of participating in the continental exam and achieving good results in the academy training."

It's a rare opportunity to get a free know-it-all, so how could Zhang Lingfeng let it go?

Even if Yanagawa is exaggerating, it doesn't matter. Just treat it as gossip. Anyway, you are free, so chatting about other people's gossip can kill time and it also suits your nature of lying down.

Yanagawa is actually a chatterbox.

Facing Zhang Lingfeng's inquiries, he told him everything he knew, and even revealed a lot of secrets to Zhang Lingfeng, which benefited Zhang Lingfeng a lot. Not long after, the airship returned to Ocean City, and the martial arts students also returned to their respective inns one after another.

Zhang Lingfeng creates a miracle.

Successfully advancing to the fourth round created a miracle for the fourth-tier provinces. When he and Mingcheng came back, Jiangbei Wang, Ao Dagang and others were there to greet them at the door.

Secondly, relevant personnel from other fourth-tier provinces also came to the Jiangbei Provincial Hall to congratulate Zhang Lingfeng, and even Jiangnan Province had representatives present.

Obviously Zhang Lingfeng advanced to the fourth round. This honor belongs not only to Jiangbei Province, but also to all fourth-tier provinces.

Everyone was cheering for Zhang Lingfeng and were sincerely happy for him.

An hour later, King Jiangbei dismissed all the guests. Zhang Lingfeng returned to his room to rest and found that the room was piled with gifts.

Some were prepared by King Jiangbei and Ao Dagang and others, but more were gifts sent by other people from fourth-tier provinces.

It was not easy to successfully advance. It was a rare opportunity to rest, so Zhang Lingfeng didn't think too much and just lay down on the bed to sleep.

The conversation with Yanagawa only made him realize how powerful the martial arts students in the first- and second-tier provinces were, and it did not bring him any pressure.

It's not that Zhang Lingfeng didn't take them seriously, but under the effect of the lying attribute, Zhang Lingfeng never thought about how good a result he could get in the national examination. Let alone defeating Qin Qianyu, even the idea of ​​defeating other martial arts students from first- and second-tier provinces never occurred to Zhang Lingfeng.

After finally advancing to the fourth round, he has created a miracle for Jiangbei Province and all the fourth-tier provinces. He can be said to have achieved success. In the next game, Zhang Lingfeng will face all challenges with a more relaxed attitude and will never dream of defeating first- and second-tier martial arts students.

You know, Liuchuan, as a third-tier martial arts student, is already so amazing. Even after his bloodline evolved and transcended the five elements, he still couldn't be defeated. This shows how terrifying first- and second-tier martial arts students are.

It is important for a person to know himself. Zhang Lingfeng knows who he can offend and who he cannot offend.

"Ling Feng, are you asleep? I have something to tell you."

Suddenly, the voice of King Jiangbei came from the door.

Downstairs, Ao Dagang and the Huo family walked out of the inn tactfully.

"Mr. Zhao."

Zhang Lingfeng got up and opened the door.

He discovered that King Jiangbei's voice had a magical power, a power that could penetrate the walls and reach his heart. Even if the room was well soundproofed, as long as King Jiangbei wanted to, a slight cough would make him feel like the earth was shaking.

All along, Zhang Lingfeng has never forgotten that the King of Jiangbei is a destructive psychic and the strongest person in Jiangbei Province. He can even be said to be the hope of Jiangbei Province.

"I want to talk to you."

King Jiangbei laughed.

"Then come in."

Zhang Lingfeng couldn't just turn King Jiangbei away. In fact, after talking with Liu Chuan, he had many questions and wanted to find an opportunity to talk to King Jiangbei, so he casually said, "I also have something I want to ask you."

"Oh, then you tell me first. I will tell you everything I know."

King Jiangbei said dotingly.

"When I came back, there was a martial arts student named Liu Chuan sitting with me. He said that the first place in this national exam would go to Qin Qianyu, and that the spiritual roots that Qin Qianyu nurtured would at least be of the highest quality in the future. It just so happens that you are an expert in this area, so I want to ask, is Qin Qianyu really that powerful?"

Zhang Lingfeng said without thinking much.

"Have."

King Jiangbei nodded without hesitation.

"You think so, too?"

Zhang Lingfeng was very surprised. No matter what, even if the King of Jiangbei was not a domain traveler, he was still the strongest person in Jiangbei Province. His strength was many times stronger than Liuchuan. Even he respected Qin Qianyu so much.

"Young Master Qin is gifted. From the moment he was born, it was believed that he would be able to take first place in the national exam in the future. No one has ever doubted this."

King Jiangbei sighed.

"Ah? This... is too outrageous!"

Zhang Lingfeng felt it was becoming more and more bizarre that there was someone who could be designated as the top scorer in the national exam since he was a baby.

"The Qin family has inherited the power of spiritual roots. Young Master Qin has spiritual roots since he was born. His starting point is the end point that countless people cannot reach in their lifetime."

King Jiangbei said with envy.

"Having spiritual roots right after birth? How is that possible? You just told me that spiritual root power must be nurtured from the Dantian Qi Sea. I have also investigated that only when the Dharma is perfect and the basic strength is strong can the Dantian Qi Sea be opened. Could it be that Qin Qianyu was a martial arts master when he was born?"

Zhang Lingfeng became anxious.

I feel that King Jiangbei is even more excessive than Liuchuan. He even treats Qin Qianyu as a god.

"You are right, but some people are exceptions. Even if there is no trace of cultivation, their bodies can automatically awaken the power of their spiritual roots without relying on Dantian Qi Sea or Dharma Image. However, there are very few such people. In the entire Great Xia Kingdom, only the Qin family can do it."

King Jiangbei laughed.

He knew that Zhang Lingfeng was not convinced.

No matter what, Zhang Lingfeng is also a genius in the eyes of many people. When geniuses meet, there is no mutual admiration but a lot of tension. I believe that Zhang Lingfeng also wants to compete with Qin Qianyu in his heart. If Qin Qianyu is said too outrageously, he will definitely be unhappy.

So King Jiangbei understood Zhang Lingfeng's emotional reaction.

He patiently explained: "In this world, there is a kind of people whose bodies naturally resonate with the power of the five elements, and can naturally breed spiritual root power under the baptism of heaven and earth.

Of course, the reason why Qin Qianyu was able to possess spiritual root power from birth was not because of his extraordinary physique, but because his parents were both powerful practitioners.

When his mother was pregnant with him, she baptized him with spiritual power every day. When he was born, there was a spiritual power array to guide him. He was born with spiritual power. This is a fantasy for many people, but it is not a rare thing for the Qin family. "

"But Liu Chuan told me that Qin Qianyu has not yet awakened the power of his spiritual roots. He also said that if Qin Qianyu can breed spiritual roots from the Dantian Qi Sea, the spiritual roots will be at least of the top grade?"

Zhang Lingfeng asked in confusion.

"The Qin family does not have the ability to make their offspring have high-grade or medium-grade spiritual roots as soon as they are born. And ordinary spiritual roots are not worthy of the Qin family's attention. As a direct descendant of the Qin family, the Qin family has been trying to improve the level of Qin Qianyu's spiritual roots over the years, so that he can cultivate more powerful spiritual roots through the power of Dantian Qi Sea.

In addition, possession and awakening are two different concepts.

I cannot explain to you all the ins and outs of this matter. In short, the Qin family is very terrifying. If you are lucky enough to meet Qin Qianyu in the future, be sure not to offend him.

Also, it is not the case that the earlier the spiritual roots awaken, the better.

Even if some people are born with spiritual power, if they do not have the corresponding method of cultivation, they can only follow the path that a warrior should take, just like other people, and allow their bodies to undergo repeated transformations in order to support that power.

Qin Qianyu is an example.

Of course, this is also related to the Qin family's ambitions. In short, everything about the Qin family is not something we can guess, and what they do will not hurt us. We just need to protect Jiangbei Province."

King Jiangbei said continuously.

It can be seen that he is full of envy, jealousy and hatred towards the Qin family, but he is powerless to do anything. He just watches the other party become better and better, and diverts his attention by governing Jiangbei Province.

"You're right. I'm just wondering, how can someone in this world possess spiritual root power right away? When we become stronger in the future, for example, we all become walkers, will our children be as strong as Qin Yu and possess spiritual root power right at birth?"

Zhang Lingfeng fantasized.

Possession and awakening are different concepts, but no matter what, Qin Qianyu already possesses spiritual roots, and this is the advantage of inheriting the power of spiritual roots.

"It's possible."

King Jiangbei looked embarrassed.

After coming in, Zhang Lingfeng talked about the Qin family all the time. He had a bad feeling in his heart. Could it be that Zhang Lingfeng wanted to become a disciple of the Qin family?

To be honest, as a young man, he had had this thought.

He even thought that as long as he could enter the Qin family, he would be willing to do so even if he had to sweep the floor there. The Qin family could give him so much.

So he couldn't help but say: "The Qin family is one of the important forces in the Great Xia Kingdom. It is too difficult to get close to the Qin family. However, if you can make great contributions to the Great Xia Kingdom, the Seven Star Alliance, or even mankind, it is not impossible to get rewards from the Qin family and obtain the Qin family's secret cultivation method in the future.

Of course, the premise of all this is that you have to find a master who can help you accomplish all this."

After King Jiangbei finished speaking, he looked at Zhang Lingfeng with sharp eyes.

He was eager to accept Zhang Lingfeng as his apprentice, not because he was afraid that Zhang Lingfeng would be abducted, but mainly because he was worried that Zhang Lingfeng's future contributions could not be counted as Jiangbei Province. If Jiangbei Province wanted to rise, it would not only need him, the King of Jiangbei and Ao Dagang, but also a rising star like Zhang Lingfeng.

What's more, Zhang Lingfeng is so outstanding.

It is entirely possible to surpass yourself.

"what do you mean?"

Zhang Lingfeng was stunned and couldn't control his excitement.

It turned out that King Jiangbei came to him overnight, not to inform him of the rules of tomorrow's competition or to remind him what he needed to do, but to take him in as his disciple.

Isn't this what I've been dreaming about? And it's delivered to my door so soon.

"Zhang Lingfeng, are you willing to take me as your master and become a walker with me?"

King Jiangbei said with his hands behind his back.
