With a shout, he was like an iron bull, rushing forward. He took the initiative to fight against the puppet.


Ten moves, twenty moves, thirty moves, forty moves!


After such a bitter fight, Chen Wei gradually became unable to endure and eventually chose to stop the fight.


“Pass!” The judge’s eyes were filled with agitation.


Being able to last over forty moves from the training puppet, if it was in a real exam, this person should be able to rank within the top fifty.


This repeat competition truly allowed them to pick up two top-tier seedlings like Liu Yiyi and Chen Wei.


Backstage, the Vice Headmaster and two Consecrators watched the performances of these two with satisfaction.


The Vice Headmaster then spoke, “Since the examination is almost at the end, I will leave first. You guys can decide matters from here on.”


He only felt interest in Liu Yiyi and Chen Wei. Since they had successfully joined the upper court, it would be a waste of time if he remained and continued watching.


The spectators were also already satisfied. They turned around and left respectively.


They came here this time around mainly to watch Liu Yiyi and Chen Wei.


As for the other candidates? They were simply here to make up the numbers.


“Number #20, get on the field!”


Hearing his number, Xia Qingchen walked to the training ground.


He looked up and stared at the spectator stands in the surroundings.


He could see the majority of the spectators standing up and preparing to leave.


Only his father Xia Yuan was still sitting there for a long time, staring at the training ground with a fiery gaze.


In his eyes, there was worry as well as earnest anticipation.


In life, Xia Yuan had always endured the pain, contempt, and disregard from his father, brother, and nephew.


But even so, he still did his best to protect his son’s growth.


So, how could this son let his father’s hope go to waste and make him disappointed?


Not only would he not let Xia Yuan feel disappointment, but he would also let Xia Yuan feel pride. Pride for having a good son!


He wanted to let the world know that Xia Yuan didn’t nurture trash!


His care and love had nurtured a genius that everyone in the world would feel envy toward!


Swish~


Xia Qingchen activated his movement technique. His figure was like flickering light and passing shadows as he rapidly sped over to attack.


At the same time, the five major meridians and fifty minor meridians in his body were all activated. The entirety of the inner force in his body was circulating within.


He then unleashed the first stance of the [Four-Forms Ancient Scroll] – Fire Phoenix Illuminates the Sky!


He unleashed his inner force, movement technique, and martial skill fully!


This… was his current strongest strike.


BOOM~


His leg swept over. This ferocious leg movement created a bright fire circle that acted like a pen due to its extreme speed.


After that, it heavily slammed into the puppet.


The puppet’s reaction was very quick. It used its right arm to block this attack.


But this was Xia Qingchen’s strongest strike!


His five major meridians and fifty minor meridians allowed the density of his inner force to be close to someone at the seventh radiance-level of the minor constellation stage.


And when combined with a high-grade yellow-tier martial skill, the might unleashed was immense.


In addition, he used his movement technique to increase the intensity of his rush.


The puppet only used its arm to block, so how could it block this?


A thunderous sound reverberated throughout the surroundings. The 1,000 jin puppet was blasted away by a single attack from Xia Qingchen and heavily slammed into the ground.


For a time, smoke filled the area!


No matter the backstage, the spectator stands, or the referee who was watching, all of them let out sounds of intense exclamation.


“He…he defeated the training puppet? In… in one move?”



Backstage.


The Vice Headmaster, who had been preparing to leave, suddenly turned his head and gazed over upon hearing the commotion.


When he discovered the puppet lying motionlessly on the ground, he was startled and asked, “What happened?”


He merely just turned around!


No one answered him because the two Consecrators were also in deep shock.



On the spectator stands.


Many of those cultivators, who had been leaving, were attracted by the sound of the huge commotion.


Those who missed that scene all had dumbfounded looks on their faces.


“What’s the situation now?”


“What happened?”


Only when the smoke and dust dissipated did they see Xia Qingchen. He was now standing at the puppet’s original location.


He lightly patted away the dust on his leg. His inky black hair danced casually in the wind and would occasionally cover that grave look in his deep, star-like eyes.


“It is Xia Qingchen!”


“His strength actually reached the seventh radiance-level of the minor constellation stage!”


The spectator stands outside all erupted in intense shouts and exclamations.


Everyone knew that three months ago, Xia Qingchen’s cultivation base was merely at the third radiance-level of the minor constellation stage.


However, three months later, the strength of his entire body actually reached the seventh radiance-level of the minor constellation stage!


Even for the martial legend himself, when he was young, he didn’t have such a cultivation speed.


Everyone at the scene was stunned. Li Weifeng was also badly shocked.


Wasn’t Xia Qingchen a weakling that had fainted during the examination back then? Was he really that Xia Qingchen?


There was a moment in which Li Weifeng felt that Xia Qingchen was sold off and exchanged for another person.


After coming back to his senses, Li Weifeng shouted, “Go and check on the training puppet.”


He had no way to believe that Xia Qingchen could really defeat the training puppet with a single move.


The referee rushed there in a panic, feeling plenty of doubt in his heart.


Could the training puppet be damaged? Was that why Xia Qingchen managed to defeat it in one strike?


Many of the spectators were also filled with doubt.


They had no way to believe that Xia Qingchen could really defeat the puppet. There must be a problem with the puppet, right?


At the backstage, the Vice Headmaster sat down again.


His gaze locked onto the referee. A faint hint of anticipation could be seen in his eyes.


Under the gazes of the crowd, the referee arrived before the puppet.


He initially thought there was a problem with it. However, to his surprise, when he got near to the puppet he discovered that its left side was already dented by monstrous strength. Its chest was completely torn apart due to the squeezing pressure.


The entire puppet was scrapped due to a kick from Xia Qingchen!


The referee felt his scalp turning numb as he announced, “The training puppet is…scrapped! Xia Qingchen, passed!”


What?


Everyone on the scene was shocked. The atmosphere was seemingly boiling.


“My heavens, such a result. If he was in the first examination, wouldn’t he be ranked among the top twenty?”


“Xia Qingchen is then the greatest genius that has been missed out!”


At the backstage, the Vice Headmaster’s heart was finally at ease as a look of gratification appeared on his face.


“We have to hold repeat competitions every year or we truly wouldn’t know how many geniuses would be buried.”


At this moment, Zhen Zhilan elegantly got to his feet. “Thank you for the pavilion’s reception. I will bid my farewell now.”


The Vice Headmaster and the two Consecrators exchanged glances. They finally understood why the Shrine sent Zhen Zhilan to spectate the competition.


So it turned out that it might be for Xia Qingchen!


They felt shocked once more. Zhen Zhilan was the granddaughter of the martial legend!


By sending her here to observe Xia Qingchen’s test, was there a deeper layer of meaning in it?



At the spectator stands.


Xia Yuan clenched his fist tightly as tears flowed down his face.


He had waited for this moment for too long, far too long…


“Excuse me, are you the Manor Lord Xia?” A middle-aged man in an embroidered robe walked over and surveyed Xia Yuan with uncertainty. He clasped his hands as he asked.


Xia Yuan hurriedly wiped away the tears of emotions on his face. “It is me. Sir, you must be the clan leader of the Liu martial aristocratic clan, right?”


The other party didn’t know him, but he knew of the other party.


The clan leader in an embroidered robe was a martial aristocrat clan leader that was ranked #41. Liu Chengbai.


His status in Lone Cloud City was extremely high, and he had much authority and face.


Xia Yuan wanted to visit him many times, but he didn’t even have the qualifications to meet him.


Now, this clan leader actually took the initiative to look for Xia Yuan.


“So it is you!” Liu Chengbai revealed a warm smile. “Your son is simply too outstanding, causing people to feel envy!”


The nearby representatives of the various martial aristocratic clans came over upon hearing that Xia Yuan was here. “So you are the Manor Lord Xia! Your son’s performance has truly impressed us all!”


“Manor Lord Xia has a good son!”


“Manor Lord Xia, if you and your son are free, please come by my place for a visit.”


“My Chen Manor would also welcome the grand arrival of Manor Lord Xia and your son!”



All of them were people Xia Yuan had to be respectful to and even look up at.


But now, they were surrounding him and respectfully trying to be friends with him.


For the first time, this caused Xia Yuan’s heart to feel an intense pride. This was the pride he felt because of his son, Xia Qingchen!
