C16

The two elders from the God Manifestation Sect, as well as King Chu, Wei Teng, were all watching the fight!

The moment Bai Jing rose into the air, Jiang Chuan quickly took Yue Yang from his back. This was the first time since the start of the Martial Arts Examination that Jiang Chuan had used Moon Seizing Team!

With a swoosh, an arrow was released from the bow! Jiang Chuan's movements were extremely fast!

In the depths of the mountain in the Great Wang Village, Jiang Chuan had killed many flying beasts! And it hit perfectly!

When Bai Jing saw that the arrow was flying towards her with great speed, she knew that it was still a Sea Opening Realm cultivator. She raised her sword and deflected the arrow!

Jiang Chuan was also unable to deal with Bai Jing with this arrow, so he shot out three arrows at the same time. Each of the arrows headed for Bai Jing's vital points!

Bai Jing's eyes narrowed. This archery skill was even better than the most powerful archers in the army!

Three arrows shot out at the same time, finally stopping Bai Jing's attack! The instant Bai Jing landed on the ground! Jiang Chuan rushed over!

Jiang Chuan's goal was to prevent Bai Jing from having the ability to use it! Only in this way would Jiang Chuan have a chance at victory!

Just as Bai Jing landed on the ground, she felt a gust of wind coming towards her. Without even looking at it, she instinctively placed her hands in front of the door!

Jiang Chuan sneered as he attacked. With his other hand, he attacked Bai Jing's dantian!

Old Qi once said that Sea Opening Cultivators aren't scary. As long as they hit their dantian, they won't be able to use any spiritual energy, just like normal people.

This move from Jiang Chuan struck towards the east and west. That fist ruthlessly struck Bai Jing's Dantian!

Puff!

Bai Jing spat out a mouthful of blood, and immediately lost his ability to fight!

"Thank you, Brother Jiang, for your mercy!" Bai Jing cupped her fist and bowed towards Jiang Chuan.

Bai Jing knew that Jiang Chuan had most likely held back. Otherwise, she would have been crippled.

"I have a lot of battle experience. First, I have to use up my opponent's strength. Then, I will distract him. Finally, I will use my finishing blow!" At such an age, he is incomparably old. If this child were a cultivator, he would be able to cultivate him for a bit, but unfortunately … "muttered Old Man Shen Ji.

The old man on the side also nodded. To be able to defeat a Sea Cleaving Cultivator in an ordinary person was already extraordinary, but unfortunately for him, he was unable to practice cultivation.

The old man sighed and said, "The heavens' law is always unpredictable. If he were a cultivator, he wouldn't be this powerful."

After this round of competition, there were only seven hundred people left. Several tens of people, because of heavy injuries, gave up on the next round. Jiang Chuan and Wei Yan both won.

On the second day, there were still over a hundred people who were unable to continue the competition due to their injuries. They automatically gave up on the following matches, so there were only 600 people left!

"Heh, those who are able to persevere to the very end are all incomparably powerful. Even within the Vast Ocean World, they can be considered to be top experts." Someone laughed as he spoke.

"Who knows? This Grand Examination is a war of attrition. Not only will it test one's cultivation, it will also test one's physique, patience, and temperament. Those who can last until the end will most likely become the backbone of Chu!"

Out of the hundreds of thousands of contenders, only six hundred remained. These six hundred were naturally the strongest among the younger generation members of the Chu Country.

At this point, the Grand Examination had also entered its most tragic stage. In the previous Grand Examination, at this stage, most people would lose their ability to fight because of the tragic battles!

Sure enough, after this round of 600 people, over 400 were eliminated! There should have been three hundred people remaining, but there were only a hundred who could not participate in the following matches because of their injuries! In this round of the competition, Jiang Chuan and Wei Yan were both injured. However, Jiang Chuan's injuries were slightly worse, but he had yet to reach the stage where he could not participate.

After this round, he rested for three days!

During these three days, Jiang Chuan had also obtained a lot of medicinal ingredients from the Wei Residence. He soaked himself in some medicine according to the old man's method, and after three days, most of his injuries had healed as well. It was all thanks to the Wei Residence's medicinal ingredients.

"Brother Jiang Chuan, the next round is over. Basically, those who enter the top 100 can enter the top 100. Those who enter the top 100 can most likely gain a commander position and control several thousand troops." Wei Yan also told Jiang Chuan the benefits of entering the top 100.

Jiang Chuan nodded his head. The benefits of entering the top 100 were indeed much greater. If he wanted to establish himself in Chu in the future, he had to enter the top 100!

For this round of the competition, it would also be a duel. The victor would be able to enter the top 100! He could even directly enlist in an important position in the military!

This was undoubtedly a huge temptation for cultivators! Those in power would naturally be able to control the countless resources in Chu! It would allow him to continue cultivating!

Every cultivator was like a bottomless pit. It was very difficult for them to cultivate to such a high realm with their own power. If they could reach such a realm, even Lord Chu had to give them some respect!

These two hundred people had undoubtedly become the focal point of the entire Chu Country, even the neighboring countries! This was because it was extremely likely that these people would appear on the battlefield from now on, and it was very likely that they would become his enemies!

Only with a thorough understanding of one's opponent would one have a majority chance of winning.

There was an anomaly among the two hundred men. They were not cultivators, but they could make it this far! In a short while, Jiang Chuan had become the idol of most people!

Cultivators are only a handful, after all. It requires incredible resources to cultivate them. Generally speaking, people simply cannot afford to spend them. Many have no choice but to accept their fate. Even though he wasn't a cultivator, he could still make it this far! There were even many cultivators who were defeated by Jiang Chuan! Those people knew that even if one wasn't a cultivator, one could still accomplish what a cultivator could. In fact, it was even better than what a cultivator could do!

"Official Wei, have you investigated the background of this young man Jiang?" In the spectator stands, Lord Chu asked.

"Reporting to the king, I've asked around. It's a young man from the south called the King Village. Both his parents have died since he was young, and he was following his grandfather in hunting. His abilities were also learnt in the deep mountains," Wei Teng replied.

"The King's Village? "In the map of Chu, does this village exist?" Lord Chu frowned as he spoke.

"The King's Village is too small and only has a population of one hundred. A village like this doesn't have the qualifications to enter the empire," Wei Teng said.

Lord Chu nodded, "The Jiang family reminds me of the Jiang family from 16 years ago."

"Hehe, I never thought that the king would still remember the Jiang family. It's just that after 16 years, most people probably won't remember them, right?" Wei Teng said with a smile.

"That's right, now that I think about it, I'm afraid that what happened back then was a little too intimate. No matter what, the Jiang family had already laid a solid foundation for Chu, treating the Jiang family like that would be a bit unfair."

"Sire, let bygones be bygones. Today, the Chu Country is gradually becoming more and more powerful, with many geniuses appearing. This is a good time to develop the Chu Country."

Lord Chu nodded, but there was still a figure lingering in his heart.
