Chapter 507 Jade Plate

Chapter 507 Jade Plate (4k)

The location of the military test was located in a small woods cleared behind the government office in Hebo, on several acres of loess flat land that had been tamped down by the soldiers in half an hour.

Seeing Liang Qu walking out from the shadow of the government office eaves, the bustling crowd consciously made way for him.

The villagers of Yixing Town were very brave: "Master Liang, do you want to board the king's ship too?"

"No, come up and play."

Liang Qu rolled up his sleeves, revealing the bloodstone arm armor on his left hand. He was not wearing official uniform today. Instead, he wore a black suit with red patterns, looking very majestic.

Even if people from other counties did not know Liang Qu, they could tell that an important figure had arrived just by looking at his posture and appearance.

"Hurry up, Master Liang is going to take action! Make room for him!"

"Yeah, how can we let Mr. Liang queue up!"

When the people of Yixing Town in the martial arts arena heard that Liang Qu wanted to touch the pillar, they became very excited and shouted for people to make room.

The martial arts test lasted for most of the day, and the team in front of the three white marble pillars stretched for more than half a mile in the scorching heat.

The front falls fast, and the back is tightly packed, basically achieving dynamic balance.

"No need." Liang Qu waved his hand, "I'll just wait in line."

"Master Liang! There's a seat for you here!"

In front of the east pillar, a dark-skinned young man jumped up and greeted people, with three people lined up in front of him.

"Not so good……"

"Very good, kid, this is the third time I've been in line since yesterday. This one doesn't matter!"

"The third time?" Liang Qu was stunned and looked him up and down. "I've seen you before. You're from the Chen family, right? Why do you come here so many times? Do you have insomnia at night?"

Everyone heard the ridicule and burst into laughter.

"Chen Mingchao, my name is Chen Mingchao, and I'm from the same family as Chen Xianglao!" Chen Mingchao was a little excited to be recognized. He couldn't help blushing and scratching his head after hearing the second half of the sentence. "I think if I touch him a few more times, I'll get used to it and I might be able to get on board and bring honor to my family."

"A Shui is quite popular." Ke Wenbin joked with his arms crossed.

"People who are born and raised in this area are popular."

"it is good!"

Liang Qu rummaged through his pocket, took out a penny of silver, and waved his hand.

Chen Mingchao looked delighted and stepped aside to make room.

There was a flash of strange color in some people's eyes.

Ran Zhongshi called the soldiers outside the martial arts arena and said, "Go to the Tianbo Chamber of Commerce to buy some blue blood dye, and paint a line on anyone who touches the pillar. No one can take the test again."

"Yes!"

All eyes were focused in the martial arts arena.

Liang Qu was a tall and strong man, with a towering figure of 1.88 meters almost 1.9 meters, casting a shadow. The first three people in the team were under great pressure, and they began to shiver before their hands even touched the pillars. Hot sweat dripped from their foreheads, making them shiny.

"Passed! Passed! Someone passed, a quarter of an hour, bronze medal! Bronze medal!"

There was a sudden cheer in the arena.

Everyone heard this and went away.

Next to the white marble column on one side, a thin young man with gray lips and hot sweat dripping down like he had just been fished out of the water was still holding on to the white marble column tightly, with every muscle trembling and twisting as if he was experiencing some unspeakable torture.

"Ordinary people?"

Lu Gang saw the strength of the other party's qi and blood.

Before entering Piguan, he was undoubtedly an ordinary person, with patched clothes, and he did not look like anyone with any achievements.

Xu Zishuai was surprised: "This is the first time since the martial arts examination. It's rare."

"Where is this kid from?" Xiang Fangsu was a little curious. He called the soldiers over and asked them to ask if there were any acquaintances nearby who knew him.

"I found out that he is from Nanxun Town."

The soldier clasped his fists and replied.

The young man in the field loosened his hands and his whole body went limp.

Barely more than a quarter of an hour and half a breath.

Bronze is the limit.

The soldier under the white jade pillar took a step forward, held the young man, dragged him all the way to the chair, served him a bowl of iced mung bean soup, and after getting the consent of Ran Zhongshi and others, stuffed a copper waist badge with the word "Yue" written in a flamboyant style.

The young man's hands were shaking, and a lot of mung bean soup spilled out, but he held the bronze medal tightly and refused to let go.

A rare opportunity.

People with great perseverance can always find a lower limit no matter where they are.

As I have no achievements and no breakthroughs, I can only be a miserable person.

Either they have seriously ill parents at home, or they have a lot of younger brothers and sisters to support, or they have encountered some injustice.

Liang Qu's mind moved slightly, he withdrew his gaze, reminded the soldier, and asked him to record the time. After confirming that it was correct, he reached out and pressed the white marble pillar.

"Master Liang touched it! He touched it!"

With a loud shout, the surprised and excited villagers withdrew their gazes.

hum!
The silver light was bright, but Liang Qu did not react. Suddenly, he felt his whole body lighten, his spirit floated up, and he was thrown into a hazy world somewhere.

The sky and the earth are full of waves.

In an instant.

Thousands of sharp edges cut into the body!

Roar!
The dragon and tiger energies swirled out and took the initiative to protect their master.

The golden and silver light flows like water, competing to crush each other!
The cicadas in the woods are chirping desperately.

Under the eaves of the government office, Ke Wenbin squatted on a small stool, scooped watermelon with a spoon and spit out the black watermelon seeds.

"Come on, come on, guess what brand Ah Shui can get? Gold, silver, or bronze? Which one?"

"Different realms correspond to different difficulties." Xiang Fangsu rubbed his chin, "As for Ah Shui, he should have a silver medal."

Ran Ying nodded in agreement: "Silver medal guaranteed."

"Gold and silver are split 70% and 30%."

We are not fools.

Liang Qu never hid his cultivation, and breaking through his realm was as easy as eating and drinking. The word "stuck" had never been heard from his mouth.

He rode so fast that he left the whole place in the dust.

In addition, with the condensation of the two great true energies, he gained enlightenment while riding the wind, and comprehended the spiritual aspect the first time he observed the strange phenomenon.

He is worthy of extraordinary talent.

The King of Yue established the martial arts test not to find some extraordinary genius.

As soon as the top talents emerge, they are often accepted as disciples by masters. There are very few left among the common people. It is meaningless to pick only two or three of them to board the ship.

Three or two cats and dogs are not enough to build a framework.

What we really select are the talented people who have the potential to become the backbone of the team. It would be even better if we mix in a couple of grandmaster seeds occasionally.

Ran Zhongshi looked at Lu Gang and Xu Zishuai on the side and said, "As Liangqu's senior brothers, what brand do you think Ah Shui can get?"

"gold medal!"

"gold medal!"

Lu Gang, Xu Zishuai, Hu Qi and others spoke in unison, with certainty.

Ran Zhongshi smiled: "After all, we are from the same school, so we trust each other much more than our colleagues."

Xu Zishuai looked up at the sky: "You have seen with your own eyes that the youngest disciple accepted by the master has surpassed his senior brothers all the way, and climbed from the ninth to the fifth position in two years without hesitation."

Lu Gang added: "I think there is a fourth child, and it's not certain whether there is a third child."

Xu Zishuai felt like an arrow was stabbed in the heart.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

"Bronze medal! Bronze medal!"

There were bursts of exclamations on the loess martial arts field.

The other two columns are all slowed down for testing, please pay attention.

On the sundial, the shadow of the long pole clearly moved past a quarter of an hour, indicating that Liangqu had reached the bronze medal level.

Two more gleaming silver lines appeared on the white marble pillars.

However, there was not a drop of sweat on Liang Qu's forehead, which was in stark contrast to the young man before.

With ease.

The locals were calm and composed, and showed disdain for the outsiders who exclaimed.

"Mr. Liang has seen His Majesty with his own eyes. What's a mere bronze plaque?"

"Don't even mention Master Liang. I'm telling you, even if Jiang Otter from Master Liang's family came here, he would be able to find a bronze medal!"

Have you met His Majesty?

"Hmm?" Ran Zhongshi lifted his chin, "Ah Shui, when have you ever been to the imperial capital?"

"It's just a rumor." Xu Zishuai curled his lips in disdain. "The brat came back from flood control last year and boasted about the Holy Emperor's oral instructions every day. How could a country bumpkin understand? It was passed around and turned into an oral instruction given to the Holy Emperor in person after meeting him in person."

The void of heaven and earth.

The sharp edge increased sharply, more than doubling.

The range of the golden light was forced to shrink.

"Bronze medal?"

Liang Qu could not feel the passage of time, but he could feel that the power of the silver light had doubled, and he should enter a new stage of confrontation.

It was extremely difficult to resist with the golden body alone. The silver light scraped against his body and caused excruciating pain, so he had to use the Azure Dragon's true energy to fight back.

The golden and silver lights competed with each other, adding a touch of blue in the middle.

Jin Qing twisted together, regained more than half of the body, and stabilized his body.

"I'll say silver is the minimum."

Xiang Fangsu has sharp eyes.

A few beads of sweat oozed out of Liang Qu's forehead, but they were far from condensing into sweat beads.

It is still in the stage of exerting force and is far from exhaustion.

If you can hold on for half a quarter of an hour, you’ll definitely win the silver medal!

Time passed by minute by minute.

The cicadas are chirping loudly.

The half watermelon in Ke Wenbin's hand was eaten until only a layer of light red skin was left.

"Silver medal! Silver medal!"

someone shouted.

The entire white marble pillar was shining brightly with silver light, and it was only half lit up!
Phase 3!

If you can get through it, you will get the gold medal!
One breath.

Two breaths. Three breaths!

"Hold on! I need to withdraw money today!"

An old man shouted.

After eating melons for so long and watching so much fun, the villagers figured out a set of rules on their own.

Touch this pillar, and every time you pass a stage, if you don't fall down immediately within three breaths, you will be considered to have gained a foothold and have a greater chance of making it through!
The Martial Saint has been here for so long, but he has never won a gold medal!
The entire martial arts arena was abuzz with discussions, and more and more people gathered around to join in the fun, not only villagers but also children from many large families.

"Brother Liang is really amazing." Weng Shaoping closed the paper fan.

"You're so awesome, why don't you introduce me to your sister?" The girl lay on the bench, tiptoed, revealing her white socks.

Weng Shaoping was too lazy to pay attention.

Zhai Yunqiong and Bian Yuanchong looked at each other and were slightly surprised.

What Zhang Xu said makes some sense. With only one talented person from Hebo Institute competing, there is actually a hope of winning the gold medal!

Is it possible...

"Yanjiang, go to Shanghu Academy quickly and call Mr. Zhang over, and tell him that the martial arts test requires a payout!"

Lin Yanjiang had some complaints about Zhai Yunqiong's instructions.

They are all people on board, but some of them are bossing people around.

There's nothing I can do about it. It's my fault that I only got a bronze medal while they got a prestigious silver medal.

There are single rooms on the boat. It is said that when you arrive at Ningjiang Prefecture, you will be given a private door and courtyard, with at least two entrances!
"Go here."

"call!"

The silver light is bright like a tide.

The golden bodies of dragon and tiger, the true energy of blue dragon, and the true energy of white ape all appear!

The gold, green and white lights intertwined, resisting the crushing of one's will.

Liang Qu had no doubt that once he withdrew his true energy, he would face the pain of being cut into pieces!

The mental will is destroyed, and the body is unable to suppress the pain, with almost no limit.

"It shouldn't be difficult to win the gold medal..."

Liang Qu felt the intensity. He had already stood firm and it would not be difficult for him to hold on for another half a quarter of an hour.

I wonder what changes will happen in a quarter of an hour?
Two great true powers, the golden bodies of dragon and tiger.

Not reaching Liangqu’s limit!

The fairy island on the clouds has not yet appeared, and "Wansheng Baoyuan" still has a skill of "Concentrating the Spirit", which is generated by the third realm of "Wansheng Baoyuan".

[Concentrate your mind] What you want to concentrate on is [the Lord of the River slaying the dragon].

Liangqu is rarely used.

Because before you need to overdraw on [Concentration of Spirit], [Transformation of Spirit] can often solve the problem first.

Difficulties that cannot be solved by [Spirit Transformation] will be of no help even if [Concentration of the Mind] is used. In addition, [Spirit Transformation] will end prematurely due to overdrawing of physical strength.

"How long has Liang Shuishi been touching you?"

Zhang Xu rode on his Jueying horse, passed through the forest path, saw a crowded martial arts arena, and stopped a soldier.

The soldier recognized the man and replied, "In a quarter of an hour."

The voice just fell.

Thunderous cheers came from the martial arts arena, and the crowd surged like the sea.

"Gold! Gold! Gold!"

"Withdraw money! Withdraw money!"

"A quarter of an hour, gold medal!"

"really!"

Lying on the bench, the young man, who had not yet recovered from his shock, held the bronze medal in his hand with envy in his eyes.

Even though one has great perseverance, it cannot compare to a true genius.

“There really is a gold medal!”

Bian Yuanchong and Zhai Yunqiong climbed up a tree to watch, their hearts trembling.

gold medal!

The treatment on board is far from comparable to that of the Silver Medal.

Don’t say anything else.

The bronze and silver medals do not have the right to lead anyone, but the gold medal can choose a servant to accompany you!
On the ship, there was a gold medal winner who lived with his beautiful maid. She had a slim figure and was the envy of others!

"I wonder if I can take the last step..."

Zhang Xu looked at Liang Qu, walked through the crowd, came to the center of the venue, put one hand into his arms, and touched the small cards.

In the entire mansion, money is rarely spent.

The King of Yue traveled from south to north, stopping at many places along the way, with no more than six gold medals on board at any one time, including two on board, and usually no more than a handful of people.

After staying for three days, I cannot say that the test was complete and without omissions, but I was able to get a glimpse of something.

However, after the gold medal, there were other changes, and everyone withdrew from the trial due to force majeure.

Only a few of the King of Yue’s confidants understood.

more than!

"Is this... the end?"

The sky and earth were hazy and empty, and Liang Qu was breathing heavily.

I thought there would be more tests after the gold medal, but I didn't expect it to end so abruptly.

Regret.

boom!
The sound of thunderstorms rolled and roared, strong winds arose, the pale white void of heaven and earth suddenly turned gray, and dark clouds covered the sky!
Ok?
Liang Qu stood in the strong wind, his clothes fluttering, and immediately felt a fierce murderous intent surging in the chaos.

Not stunned.

Brazenly activate [Concentrate your Mind]!
The blue dragon turned into a coiled dragon pillar, the white ape embraced it, and white clouds poured down from the fairy island on the cloud!

Then there was another thunderous sound, and a silver-white spear suddenly appeared in the sky, wrapped in endless lightning, piercing through the sky and shooting towards us!

A silver light flashed across the sky, splitting the clouds in two and dispersing them.

The biting cold fell from the sky!

Liang Qu was not afraid. He took a big step forward and clenched his palm, with a spear faintly appearing.

The white ape, which was over three meters tall, hugged the dragon pillar, its eyes like torches, and its hair flowed like water, dancing freely.

It was clearly a white ape, but it showed some of the demeanor of a divine general. A blurry figure appeared behind it, and they vaguely merged with it.

The chill penetrated into his brows.

The white ape wields the giant pillar!

Instantly.

The shadow was clear, and the general raised his hand.

The sky and the earth flashed into black and white!
The spear shot out at me like lightning, and in a trance it seemed to turn into a child's sketch made up of two black lines...

The Panlong Pillar smashed down fiercely, like an eraser, erasing parts of the two black lines.

The lines that made up the spear broke and suddenly twisted like an earthworm.

instantly.

shattered into thousands of pieces!

The woods were lush and dense, and the cicadas were so frightened by the cheers of the crowd that they dared not make a sound.

In the eyes of outsiders, the silver lines flowing on the entire white marble column lit up and suddenly shone!

But at its most brilliant moment, it suddenly died down and came to an abrupt end.

It faded from the top to the end, leaving no light at all.

The white marble column seemed to have degenerated into an ordinary pillar.

Liang Qu opened his eyes and let go weakly, and the soldier behind him supported him in time.

strangeness.

Bian Yuanchong and Zhai Yunqiong looked at each other. They had never seen such a scene before.

After winning the gold medal, shouldn’t you just bounce the person away?
Is it so "gentle"?
"Congratulations, Lord Liang, for passing the martial arts test." Zhang Xu walked out of the crowd and raised his hand to bow.

"Mr. Zhang!"

Bian Yuanchong and Zhai Yunqiong jumped down from the tree branch to greet them.

The distribution of silver and bronze medals was handled by Hebo, while the gold medals had to be distributed by Zhang Xu himself.

The people stretched their necks and looked forward to it.

Not to mention seeing the gold medal, dozens of taels of gold are rare in a lifetime and are also worth seeing.

"Wait, A Shui won't board the boat, so he doesn't have a badge to take." Ke Wenbin suddenly spoke.

"Damn, I almost forgot." Xu Zishuai slapped his forehead.

"No! Liang Shui can't be used on the boat, but it still has a sign."

Zhang Xu took out a small square card from his bosom and showed it to the people.

Unlike the sparkling metallic luster of gold, silver and copper, the square plaque is overall lustrous and restrained.

A jade token?
Bian Yuanchong and Zhai Yunqiong were stunned.

Bian Yuanchong guessed: "Could it be that they won't board the ship, won't issue gold medals, and will issue jade medals instead?"

"Is that so?"

"That's wrong. It's true that you don't have a badge if you don't board the ship." Zhang Xu interrupted them. "But above the gold badge is a jade badge. Whether you board the ship or not, you will be given one. This is what the King of Yue ordered early in the morning."

Above the gold medal?

How can there be anything above the gold medal?

Bian Yuanchong and Zhai Yunqiong were shocked.

Four levels of copper, silver, gold and jade?

Liang Qu stroked the jade plate.

White jade, as white as the skin of a dragon girl.

"Mr. Zhang, how much discount can I get for this jade token at Tianbo Chamber of Commerce?"

Zhang Xu was stunned.

A few moments.

Zhang Xu smiled.

"I'll go ask the Chamber of Commerce manager."
