"it is good!"

……

The second-tier martial arts students responded one after another.

Once upon a time, they were crushed and looked down upon by the top martial arts students, who tried to eliminate them all. However, Zhang Lingfeng suddenly appeared and eliminated a group of top martial arts students in an instant.

Now only Hu Yancheng and a few other first-line martial arts students are struggling to hold on. Seeing that they are about to be kicked out, they are very excited.

After hearing Lin Chunchi's proposal, the eight people quickly formed a square formation and attacked Huyan Cheng together.

Hu Yancheng is indeed very strong.

The eight levels of Dharma are complete.

Successfully opened up the Dantian Qi Sea.

His skills and spiritual realm are beyond the five elements. He is one of the few people who can confront Qin Qianyu head-on. Unfortunately, he was beaten to a pulp by Zhang Lingfeng today.

When facing second-tier martial arts students, he can also crush them.

But with eight people joining forces, plus Yanagawa and Lin Chunchi helping out, even if his combat power value exceeded 10000.0, it would be difficult for him to win in a short time.

Unless one of his skills and fields, the basic power of the five elements, is perfect, even if he can eliminate a few second-tier martial artists, it will take some time. At least in terms of time, Zhang Lingfeng can be faster than him and eliminate the remaining first-tier ones and turn to deal with him.

"Everyone, pay attention to defense."

Lin Chunchi also took this into consideration and told everyone not to get excited, but to defend themselves strictly and not to try to confront Huyan Cheng head-on. After all, a combat power value of over 10000.0 was not something they could withstand alone. Only by withstanding Huyan Cheng's fierce attack together and waiting for Zhang Lingfeng to come, could they achieve victory.

Zhang Lingfeng's eyes met Lin Shaobin's.

Hu Yancheng's words seemed to awaken Lin Shaobin's fighting spirit. The melancholy on Lin Shaobin's face disappeared, like a sword that had been covered in dust for many years, suddenly releasing a terrifying edge.

"Lin Shaobin, I am also a top martial arts student. Don't let Hu Yancheng use you. He is so capable, why doesn't he deal with Zhang Lingfeng himself? You stay over there, no one can stop you from fighting Qin Qianyu!"

Lin Chunchi noticed something was wrong and shouted at Lin Shaobin again.

Both of them are martial arts students from Guanghai Province.

All from Ocean City.

Lin Shaobin is known as the number one martial arts student in Guanghai Province. Lin Chunchi has always admired him very much. Before the assessment started, he reminded Zhang Lingfeng not to confront Lin Shaobin. Although he did not expect Zhang Lingfeng's strength to become so terrifying, even now, Lin Chunchi does not want Zhang Lingfeng and Lin Shaobin to fight in the sixth round.

When Lin Shaobin heard this, the fiery look in his eyes quickly dimmed.

Yes.

His opponent is Qin Qianyu.

Although Zhang Lingfeng is not weak, Qin Qianyu is even stronger. He only wants to pour out the sword intent and sword power he has accumulated for many years on Qin Qianyu.

Thinking of this, he slowly sat back, and the sword energy fluctuations on his body also disappeared instantly. He became a lonely boy again, sitting there without saying a word, watching the light curtain beside him shrinking continuously.

Seeing this, Lin Chunchi secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Zhang Lingfeng also quickly eliminated the remaining three first-line martial arts students and covered Hu Yancheng with the Seven Elements Domain.

Limit Hu Yancheng's ability to move and burst of power.

"Do it yourself."

Zhang Lingfeng said to the eight second-tier martial arts students.

In his territory, Huyan Cheng was like a lamb to be slaughtered. Eight second-tier martial arts students could easily deal with him.

"Zhang Lingfeng, what do you mean?"

"This is against the rules. I don't accept it. I don't accept it!"

"Lin Shaobin, you coward, are you afraid of Zhang Lingfeng and afraid that you won't be able to see Qin Qianyu because of this? You are a coward, a fool."

Huyan Cheng became furious. He thought that if Lin Shaobin poured all the sword intent and sword power he had accumulated over the years onto Zhang Lingfeng, and he assisted in a sneak attack, he would definitely be able to eliminate Zhang Lingfeng. However, Lin Shaobin gave up on dealing with Zhang Lingfeng because of Lin Chunchi's words.

He did not give up and continued to provoke Lin Shaobin.

Lin Shaobin continued to sit in his original position, without saying a word or paying any attention to Hu Yancheng.

"You are about to die, yet you still dare to talk nonsense. You are courting death!"

Lin Chunchi and Liu Chuan led eight second-tier martial arts students, pinned Hu Yancheng to the ground and beat him up with punches and kicks. However, with the blessing of Zhang Lingfeng's domain, Hu Yancheng was no match for them at all.

Finally, they lifted Hu Yancheng up together and threw him out of the light curtain.

For a while.

Inside the light curtain, there were only eight second-tier martial arts students, Lin Shaobin, Zhang Lingfeng, Liu Chuan and Lin Chunchi, a total of twelve people.

The eight second-tier martial arts students looked at each other and gradually separated. They knew that only nine people could advance, and the three people who needed to be eliminated could only be selected from among the eight of them.

So, Zhang Lingfeng, Liu Chuan, Lin Chunchi and Lin Shaobin, together with the people in the audience, watched the eight martial arts students sparring with each other. After fifteen minutes, three second-tier martial arts students were eliminated by the other five and lost their qualification to advance.

Since then.

In this national exam, a total of five second-tier martial arts students advanced to the final round, forming the largest group.

The first-line martial arts students are Lin Chunchi and Lin Shaobin, both from Guanghai Province and Ocean City.

There is one third-line and one fourth-line martial arts student, namely Liu Chuan and Zhang Lingfeng.

The nine people will deal with Qin Qianyu together tomorrow and bear Qin Qianyu's oppression.

The result of this competition was unexpected, and many people complained and privately blamed Zhang Lingfeng for making the national exam such a mess. However, a group of representatives from second-tier provinces stood up and publicly supported Zhang Lingfeng, believing that Zhang Lingfeng was a ray of light in the national exam.

He worked hard, sought advice with an open mind, kept a low profile, and endured hardships, all in the hope of making a big splash. Everyone should learn from him; he is the role model for everyone.

His appearance is a warning to everyone not to underestimate anyone. Even a martial arts student from a fourth-tier province can create miracles in the national exam time and time again, constantly surpassing everyone and becoming the most dazzling one.

Although people did not compare Zhang Lingfeng and Qin Qianyu, they also regarded Zhang Lingfeng as the focus of the whole audience. Many people even believed that if Zhang Lingfeng could be born in the Qin family, his achievements would not be inferior to Qin Qianyu.

For the final round of tomorrow's competition, although the result seems to have come out, people are still full of expectations for Zhang Lingfeng, wanting to see if he can block Qin Qianyu's sword.

"very good."

After the game, Pu Yuchao found Zhang Lingfeng and expressed his admiration for him.

Zhang Lingfeng wanted to explain, but Pu Yuchao turned and walked away. He was a member of the Martial Hall, had been cultivated by the Qin family, and was also working for the Qin family. Now that Zhang Lingfeng had advanced to the final round, he did not want to have too much contact with Zhang Lingfeng. He came to him because he wanted to give his recognition and hoped that Zhang Lingfeng would do his best tomorrow and not let the Qin family's efforts go to waste.

Zhang Lingfeng hesitated to speak. He wanted to ask Pu Yuchao what kind of monster's blood was in that bottle of monster god's blood, and why he could gain so much lying value after refusing to take it?
Zhang Lingfeng always felt that the sudden increase of more than 20,000 points in the lying-down value was definitely not as simple as undergoing various painful transformations after taking the medicine.

The bottle of demon god's blood in his body should contain some kind of magical power. It is precisely because he rejected that power, or with the blessing of that power, that he can obtain so much lying value at one time.

Now it seems that I can only ask Pu Yuchao about this matter after the national examination is over.

The inn was bustling with activity.

The heads of the second-tier provinces came running over to congratulate them. With the help of Zhang Lingfeng, the second-tier martial arts students were able to advance to the final round. Many of them were able to obtain relevant training resource subsidies, and they all came to thank Zhang Lingfeng and King Jiangbei.

Finally, Ku Xuanhe, a senior official from Guanghai Province, also came to the Jiangbei Province Mansion. As a senior official from a first-tier province, Ku Xuanhe's strength was unquestionable. As soon as he came in, the scene immediately became quiet.

The heads of all the second-tier provinces stood up to greet him, each with a respectful look on their faces, and the King of Jiangbei was even more terrified.

"Zhang Lingfeng, how does it feel to advance to the final round?"

Ku Xuanhe led the crowd in smiling and then looked at Zhang Lingfeng.

Zhang Lingfeng saw that everyone was retreating and leaving, and only he and Ku Xuanhe were left in the inn. He felt a little nervous and restrained. It was conceivable how powerful the high-ranking officials in the first-tier provinces were. The so-called travelers, the magic mirrors, and the Qi training realm should not be as good as Ku Xuanhe.

Thinking of Qin Qianyu's father, Qin Cangqiong, who is the master of the Martial Hall and is known to have the potential to successfully build a foundation before the age of fifty, as a high-ranking official in a first-tier province, even if Ku Xuanhe is not as good as Qin Cangqiong, the gap should not be much. Perhaps the other party's strength is already close to building a foundation.

He was flattered that such a powerful person would come to see him in person.

Thinking of the martial arts students from the first-tier provinces who advanced to the final round this time, they are both from Ocean City, Guanghai Province, namely Lin Shaobin and Lin Chunchi.

Could it be that Ku Xuanhe came to see him because of this?

"I'm very nervous. I'm worried that Qin Qianyu will break my spear intent and domain with just one sword."

Zhang Lingfeng said truthfully.

"Being able to feel nervous means that your mind is not strong enough. As far as I know, Qin Qianyu has long lost negative emotions such as nervousness."

Ku Xuanhe laughed.

"He has spiritual roots."

Zhang Lingfeng smiled bitterly.

“If you grew up in the Qin family, with your qualifications, you would also be born with spiritual roots. The biggest difference between Qin Qianyu and you is not only in the family resources and cultivation environment, but also in the spiritual transcendence.

Insufficient spiritual power can be compensated through acquired abilities and various resources, but if the spiritual origin is not strong enough, and one is timid and afraid to act against anyone, and flees from the battlefield, then even if one's spiritual power is perfected in the future, it will be of no use."

Ku Xuanhe said earnestly.

"This……"

Zhang Lingfeng was stunned.

What is the origin of the mind?

Does spiritual perfection mean a 100% value?
“What is the origin of the mind?”

he couldn't help but ask.

"Pride, confidence, arrogance, composure, and even ignorance are all the original power of the mind. Although Qin Qianyu has spiritual roots, his greatest advantage is his confidence that he will never give up. Even if he does not have spiritual roots, or even his spiritual power is not as good as yours, if you were him, he would not be afraid of you or feel inferior to you. Instead, he would feel that as long as he is given enough time, he can defeat you and surpass you."

"Pride, confidence, arrogance, composure, and even ignorance are all ways for the Qin family to cultivate the power of the spiritual origin. They have many ways to allow their direct descendants to have spiritual roots from birth, but they cannot guarantee that every direct descendant can have a strong spiritual power. Even if they are defeated repeatedly, they will never admit defeat."

"They gave you the blood of the demon god because they are not afraid of you and can defeat Qin Qianyu. Even the entire Qin family hopes that someone can defeat Qin Qianyu in the national exam and let Qin Qianyu experience setbacks, so as to achieve the point of tempering the essence of his soul and win glory for the Qin family and the Great Xia country in the continental exam."

Ku Xuanhe said continuously.

"This... I understand. The Qin family is not afraid of Qin Qianyu encountering an opponent. In other words, no one in the entire Qin family is afraid of an opponent. The essence of their hearts is to never admit defeat, never compromise, and to become stronger when facing a strong opponent. They will kill gods and Buddhas when they meet them!"

Zhang Lingfeng said in shock.

"Hahaha, very good."

Ku Xuanhe was surprised and full of appreciation for Zhang Lingfeng's answer. He added: "The Qin family not only seeks to defeat their opponents, but also desires to surpass themselves. In their practice system, it is divided into three stages: seeing all living beings, seeing the world, and seeing oneself!"

"To see all living beings is to compete with all opponents in the world. To see the heaven and earth is to fight against heaven and earth to change one's fate. To see oneself is to fight with all living beings, heaven and earth, and oneself with one's own strength."

"The Qin family's cultivation system is very rich, even I am very envious."

“These three stages are daunting, and only a few people can accomplish them,” Ku Xuanhe sighed.

"Fight against all living things, fight against heaven and earth, judge others by your own standards..."

Zhang Lingfeng couldn't help but mutter.

See all living beings, see the world, see yourself. These nine words were not the first time he had heard them. In his previous life, they were passed down as miraculous and appeared in many film and television contents. Unexpectedly, in this life, they became the supreme realm of cultivation pursued by the Qin family's children.

Is the so-called origin of the mind really so terrifying?
"Judge others by your own standards? That's interesting."

Ku Xuanhe was stunned and couldn't help laughing.

"I wonder why you came to see me?"

Zhang Lingfeng asked.

Ku Xuanhe was in a high position and had great power, so he wouldn't just come to talk to him about the Qin family's cultivation system. He seemed to understand what he was talking about the origin of the mind, and it seemed that the other party did not explain it in detail on purpose.

"What do you think of Guanghai Province?"

Ku Xuanhe laughed.

"This... is as good as Jiangbei Province."

Zhang Lingfeng hesitated and said.

"Your answer really surprised me. You should know that after the national exam, all of you martial arts students will enter the academy to practice. There will be teachers at the level of practitioners to guide you in your practice. In a few months, five people will be selected from you to represent Daxia in the continental exam. Qin Qianyu is one of them, and you should be one of them."

Ku Xuanhe reminded.

"I will follow the arrangements of the alliance and the academy."

Zhang Lingfeng replied.

He cannot decide who will take the continental exam, but based on his own strength and performance, he should have a great chance. Of course, there are also people in the academy who suddenly become enlightened, and their strength soars in a short period of time, replacing others and becoming candidates for the continental exam. Such things have happened before.

"If you can stay in Guanghai Province, I can guarantee that you will not only be able to participate in the continental exam, but also achieve good results in the continental exam."

Ku Xuanhe said.

Zhang Lingfeng was stunned and finally understood why Ku Xuanhe suddenly came to him. It turned out that the main purpose was this.

I want him to represent Guanghai Province in the continental exam.

"This...please forgive me."

Zhang Lingfeng looked apologetic.

He is from Jiangbei Province and was trained by Wang Dashan, Zhuge Hou, Ao Dagang and others.

We cannot abandon Jiangbei Province at this critical moment.

"Why do you refuse?"

Ku Xuanhe asked.

He doesn't believe in any human ties. People are complicated and realistic. When faced with enough temptations, they will do things that go against their heart.

He admired the Qin family's martial arts and cultivation system. The so-called seeing all living beings, seeing the world, and seeing oneself are the three stages of the origin of the mind, but he has never seen a person who can reach the final stage, reject all temptations, and not go against his heart.

"I have feelings for Jiangbei Province, not to mention..."

Zhang Lingfeng was a little hesitant.

"explain."

Bitter hanging river.

Zhang Lingfeng felt the command was unquestionable, so he said seriously: "In Nancheng and Jiangbei Province, many people want to take me as their apprentice. Teacher Zhuge, Principal Wang, Teacher Huo, etc. are all very optimistic about me. Even Mr. Zhao is interested in taking me as his apprentice. Now that the national exam is about to end, I think it's an opportunity."

Ku Xuanhe was stunned.

I didn't expect Zhang Lingfeng to do this.

But he soon realized the problem and found it a little ridiculous. According to Zhang Lingfeng's current strength and potential, those people Zhang Lingfeng mentioned were not qualified to accept Zhang Lingfeng as their apprentice.

What's more, Zhang Lingfeng is about to go to the academy to practice.

There are plenty of teachers waiting for him.

So what he meant was that he wanted him to be accepted as his apprentice. Perhaps in this way, he could stay in Guanghai Province with a legitimate reason and work for the Province.

What a naughty little guy.

He wanted to become his disciple in a roundabout way.

Thinking of this, Ku Xuanhe smiled and said, "I can also accept you as my apprentice, but you are not qualified now, unless you can block Qin Qianyu's sword tomorrow and stand out in the academy's training. If you can do these two things, I will make an exception and accept you as my apprentice, help you condense the Dharma image, and nurture your spiritual roots, so that your spiritual root level will surpass others."

"Thank you sir."

Zhang Lingfeng had a look of disappointment, it was a pity that Ku Xuanhe didn't fall for it.

Ku Xuanhe noticed Zhang Lingfeng's emotional fluctuations of loss, and he became more certain in his heart that Zhang Lingfeng wanted to become his disciple. Thinking about it carefully, he was a high-ranking official in Guanghai Province and a supreme existence in the eyes of outsiders. It was natural for a martial arts student like Zhang Lingfeng to admire him, respect him, and want to become his disciple to practice.

As a superior, he knows how to win people's hearts.

In order to give Zhang Lingfeng hope, he then said: "You have already completed your Dharma image, and you have taken the blood of the demon god. When you condense your Dharma image and build your Dantian, you can use the power of your blood and the cyclone in your abdomen as a guide. When you feel that the cyclone in your abdomen has a place to be stored and can run inside, a vortex appears, and it continuously absorbs external forces, you have successfully opened up the Dantian Qi Sea."

"Thank you sir for your advice."

Zhang Lingfeng was full of gratitude. Ku Xuanhe's strength was unfathomable, so it was natural for him to tell at a glance that he had successfully drawn the Qi into his body.

If you can't even do this, how can you become a high-ranking official in a first-tier province? You must know that in the entire Daxia Kingdom, there are seventy-three provinces, and there are only four first-tier provinces, namely Guangnan Province, Guanghai Province, Guangzhou-Shenzhen Province, and Guangzhou-Jing Province.

"After successfully opening up the Dantian Qi Sea, don't rush to breed spiritual roots. It's best to store enough power in the Dantian to turn the Qi cyclone into a Qi Sea. Let the power of heaven and earth appear in the Dantian, from invisible to visible, from gas to liquid, until a vast ocean appears in the Dantian. At that time, breeding spiritual roots will not only have a higher chance of success, but the level of the spiritual roots bred will also be higher."

Bitter hanging river.

"The vast ocean?"

"I don't know about physical fitness, are there any node requirements?"

Zhang Lingfeng asked.

"Yes, when the physical fitness reaches 2500.0, it is the best time to nurture spiritual roots. With a physical fitness of 2500.0, a sea of ​​qi has formed in the dantian, and the power of heaven and earth stored in it has also transformed from invisible to visible, from gas to liquid."

Bitter hanging river.

Zhang Lingfeng nodded as if he understood, it was not difficult to guess from Ku Xuanhe's words that when the cyclone in Dantian turned into a vast ocean, the physical fitness would naturally reach 2500.0.

"When your physical fitness reaches 2500.0, if you still don't know how to nurture your spiritual roots, you can come find me."

Ku Xuanhe added.

"Student understands, thank you sir."

Zhang Lingfeng was overjoyed and bowed to Kuxuanhe.

"Good luck."

Ku Xuanhe laughed, then turned and left.

When he turned around, many people appeared around, including the King of Jiangbei and the leaders of the second-tier provinces, all standing by, as if they had never left.

Zhang Lingfeng couldn't help but be shocked.

Just now he clearly felt that the people around him had left after Ku Xuanhe came in, and he even saw them leave with his own eyes. Why did they all suddenly appear again and stand aside, as if they had never left.

Seeing Ku Xuanhe walking away, everyone went out to see him off.

"Don't think too much. It's the spiritual realm. Mr. Ku has perfected the basic power of the five elements. His spiritual realm can make the enemy fall into it unknowingly, just like the real world. Even their spirit, energy and soul are controlled by him."

After bidding farewell to Ku Xuanhe, King Jiangbei saw Zhang Lingfeng's silly look and explained.

"Then did you hear the conversation I had with Mr. Ku just now?"

Zhang Lingfeng asked again.

"We can't hear it, unless Mr. Ku is willing for us to hear it. His spiritual realm has been connected to the real world. Even a Qi-training mirror expert may not be able to penetrate it, let alone people like us."

King Jiangbei shook his head.

Senior officials from first-tier provinces are not people who can commit fraud like him, a senior official from fourth-tier provinces.

But he was also very surprised. He didn't expect Ku Xuanhe to come to Zhang Lingfeng, so he couldn't help asking: "Does Mr. Ku want you to stay in Guanghai Province and work for Guanghai Province?"

"You know it."

Zhang Lingfeng didn't hide anything.

"I guessed it. Apart from this, I can't think of any other reason for him to come and see you."

King Jiangbei said helplessly.

People go to high places and water flows to low places. Zhang Lingfeng is so outstanding, how can a small Jiangbei Province keep him? Fortunately, we have formed a relationship with him and have never treated him unfairly. When Zhang Lingfeng grows up in the future, he will also be able to remember the kindness of Jiangbei Province and him.

"I didn't promise him."

Zhang Lingfeng noticed the change in King Jiangbei's mood and couldn't help but remind him.

"Ah, you didn't agree. Are you stupid? Hahaha, I'm stupid. Oh no, I said you are a good person. You have unlimited potential now. There is no need to rush to agree to him. It won't be too late to wait until you finish your training in the academy and then see."

King Jiangbei laughed heartily.

With Zhang Lingfeng's current strength, after training from the academy teachers, he should be able to take part in the continental exam. Just imagine that a fourth-tier province actually has a martial arts student who can pass the continental exam. That is such an exciting thing.

Let's see if there is any other province that dares to look down on Jiangbei Province. Maybe when Zhang Lingfeng becomes a martial arts student in the continental exam, Jiangbei Province will directly become a third-tier province.

Everyone can obtain more cultivation resources and living allowances.

There is just one tricky thing. Zhang Lingfeng has a sloppy attitude towards cultivation. If he were to remain in this state when he arrived at the academy, he would be finished if he were isolated by the academy teachers or even kicked out.

Therefore, we must avoid such things from happening and take precautions in advance to let Zhang Lingfeng understand that his talent is actually nothing in the eyes of the academy teachers. He must not be proud and complacent, not take the academy rules seriously, and act like a spoiled child in front of the academy teachers.

He was in a good mood at first, but suddenly he thought of Zhang Lingfeng's attitude towards cultivation, and King Jiangbei was so anxious that he couldn't sleep the whole night.

Now Zhang Lingfeng is the hope for the rise of the entire Jiangbei Province, and we cannot be careless!
