The sun was shining, and the scales of the red-scaled dragon gleamed, and it galloped down like a stream of red light, rushing out of Sanyuan Town and heading towards Wangdu.
"Stop for me..." Vaguely, Chen Zong seemed to hear a roar from a distance, full of strong unwillingness, Chen Zong recognized that it was the voice of Yu Wenran and others.
Ignoring it, the red-scaled flood horse galloped away, making Yu Wenran and others feel desperate.
"Chasing!" Yu Wenran gritted his teeth with hatred, pulled up all his strength, and quickly rushed to Sanyuan Town.
You can't catch up with Chen Zong with your legs alone, you can only go back to the town and ride a red-scaled dragon horse.
However, when they rode the red-scaled flood horses to catch up with Chen Zong, Chen Zong had already left Sanyuan Town. To catch up with Chen Zong is simply an extravagant hope.
…
"Eight assessment tasks mean that there are at most eight people who can pass the assessment." The middle-aged man in a luxurious gold and silver two-color robe surrounded by black dragons smiled. He is the one of the two kings who stayed in the capital. One Black Dragon King.
"Maybe there are only five or six." The Purple Dragon King said with a smile, each of the eight assessment tasks is not easy, and even life-threatening.
Even if no one died, it would be very, very difficult to complete.
"Wait, the result will be out in about ten days." The Black Dragon King smiled, but he was thinking about his son Yu Wenran.
Yu Wenran is not the only son, but one of several sons and daughters, but he is the one with the best talent and potential. He is valued by him and has high hopes.
The assessment task chosen by Yu Wenran is to chase and kill Hua Xiema for thousands of miles. The Black Dragon King is very clear, so he feels that the person who completes this assessment task will definitely be Yu Wenran.
Outside the outer city of the capital, a stream of red light approached quickly, followed by a few hundred meters behind, as if chasing the figure in front.
"Hurry up, don't let him enter the city."
"Follow him, or it will be too late once we enter the city."
However, with a distance of hundreds of meters, the speed could not surpass the other party. In the end, they could only watch the other party rush to the city gate, and then, after passing the verification of the guards, entered the outer city of the capital.
"Damn it!"
All the pursuers were full of resentment, especially when the other party entered the outer city gate, they turned their heads to look over, with a half-smile expression on their faces, very proud, as if provocative, but helpless.
No one dared to use force in the capital, no matter who it was, the consequences would be very serious, especially those examiners who would be immediately disqualified if they used force.
"Haha, Guoshi, I once took possession of the army." The man who walked into the outer city smiled secretly, very excited.
More than ninety people competed for the qualifications of national scholars, a total of eight assessment tasks, and now I have completed one. Although I will compete with other assessors in the future, with my four-star limit combat power, I won one of the three national scholar places. One, it shouldn't be difficult.
This is Zeng Zhanjun's idea.
At this moment, the few people staying outside the capital city saw a red figure approaching quickly and rushing towards the city gate.
"Who is that?"
"It seems to be Chen Zong, the new prefecture-level cabinet member of Qunlong Pavilion."
"Has he also completed the assessment task?"
"Impossible. I remember their mission. It seems that there is still Prince Yu Wenran. Everyone knows how powerful the prince is. Chen Zong cannot be the opponent of the prince."
In the midst of all the discussions, Chen Zong quickly passed them on his red-scaled dragon horse, and their eyes also swept over, their pupils constricted, because they saw a bulging package carried by the red-scaled dragon horse.
"Could it be..." These people looked at each other, seeing the horror in each other's eyes, feeling incredible and dizzy.
Passing through the crowd, Chen Zong stepped through the city gate and entered the outer city, and finally heaved a sigh of relief.
When you get here, you don't have to worry about Yu Wenran and others catching up to snatch Ma Qianli's head.
Chen Zong relaxed, thinking about the battle between himself and Ma Qianli, especially the feeling of realizing the unity of body and sword.
Now that I have just comprehended and mastered it, there is still a lot of room for improvement.
After entering the inner city, go straight to Guan Mansion, first return the red-scaled dragon horse, fierce dragon bow and water-distributing arrow to Guan Mansion, and at the same time inform that one of the water-dividing arrows was lost.
"It doesn't matter." Zheng Yuanhou was calm, but his eyes fell on the package in Chen Zong's left hand: "Is that the thing for the assessment task?"
"Exactly." Chen Zong replied.
"Okay." A smile appeared on Zheng Yuanhou's face, and he was more and more satisfied with the disciples his younger brother had accepted.
Previously, Guan Yunxiao recommended Chen Zong to participate in the assessment of Qunlong Pavilion because of his brother's face. Originally, he thought that Chen Zong might not pass the assessment. The difficulty of the assessment for geniuses outside the capital would be higher than that for geniuses in the capital. At one level, even if you can pass it, at best you can get the status of a personal cabinet member.
Unexpectedly, Chen Zong was able to obtain a prefecture-level cabinet member, which is equal to the potential of a heaven-level cabinet member.
It was precisely because of this that Marquis Zheng Yuan was willing to lend the Liejiao Bow and Fen Shui Arrow to Chen Zong for use.
However, although Chen Zong's talent and potential are very high, after all, his combat power is not strong enough. It is very difficult to stand out from the crowd, and the possibility of completing the assessment task is very low. After all, the other participants have talents and The potential is not weak, and the combat power is amazing.
But now, knowing that Chen Zong has completed the assessment task, it is impossible not to be surprised, but more satisfied. Therefore, Zheng Yuanhou didn't care about losing a water-dividing arrow.
Chen Zong bid farewell to Marquis Zhengyuan, took Ma Qianli's head and left the Guanfu, and quickly went to the Panlong Hall in the palace.
The moment Chen Zong entered the Panlong Hall, four eyes swept over him and fell on his face. Two of them contained the deep and vast coercion like an abyss like a prison, as if covering himself inside and out. see through.
One came from the Purple Dragon King, and the other came from a middle-aged man in a black gold and silver robe. Chen Zong immediately guessed his identity - the Black Dragon King.
The purple dragon king gives people the feeling that there is nobility in the majesty, while the majesty of the black dragon king is domineering.
The other two eyes were two young people in their early twenties, who seemed to have completed the assessment task.
"What's your name? What assessment task?" Zilong Wang asked, but his eyes fell on the package in Chen Zong's hand.
"Back to Zilong King, my name is Chen Zong, and my assessment task is to hunt down Hua Xie Ma Qianli." Chen Zong bowed slightly.
Hearing Chen Zong's words, the Black Dragon King's expression changed slightly, and his eyes burst out with astonishing sharpness.
Chen Zong only felt his whole body tense, as if he was bound by an invisible and powerful force, and he was under inexplicable pressure, as if his whole body was thrown into the endless abyss and fell continuously, and he was going to sink forever.
Even if he comprehends the unity of body and sword and reaches the second level, he can't resist at all.
This is the power of a strong person in the Transcendent Realm.
Suddenly, Chen Zong felt that he was pulled back by an invisible force, and he broke out in cold sweat involuntarily, his face turned pale.
"Brother Wang, the assessment depends on one's ability." The Purple Dragon King said with a slight smile, but the Black Dragon King snorted coldly, gave Chen Zong a sideways look, and said nothing.
Chen Zong knew that it was the Black Dragon King who brought him that feeling just now, and it was the Purple Dragon King who helped him.
"Chen Zong, I remember your name." The Purple Dragon King smiled at Chen Zong.
Below the Transcendent Realm and the Transcendent Realm, there is a huge gap between heaven and earth. A strong person in the Transcendent Realm will often not care about those below the Transcendent Realm. It is like an ant. What an honor it is to be able to let a strong Transcendent Realm say I remember your name, let alone A practice situation.
The Zilong King said this because Chen Zong completed the assessment task. You must know that in this assessment task, Yu Wenran's combat power is amazing. He has already been recognized as the completion of the assessment task, and everyone else will be reduced to As a foil, in the end, Yu Wenran will also be one of the three national scholars.
Now it was completely unexpected, Chen Zong had completed the assessment task of chasing and killing Hua Xie Ma Qianli, and naturally, Yu Wenran failed and was eliminated.
"If you let me know that you used some tricks to complete the assessment task, you will be responsible for the consequences." The Black Dragon King squinted at Chen Zong again, and said coldly, every word and sentence was full of amazing oppression, like a thunderstorm It is generally necessary to destroy Chen Zong.
Fortunately, Chen Zong's mental will is very strong, and there is a little help from the Zilong King.
After finishing speaking, the Black Dragon King turned around and left the Panlong Palace. Since his son was eliminated, why did he stay here
"You don't have to worry about my brother's attitude." Zilong King laughed.
"Don't dare." Chen Zong replied calmly.
The Zilong King couldn't help shaking his head and smiling slightly, "Don't dare, Chen Zong's answer is very interesting, it's not that I don't dare, it's not that I don't know how to do it."
He didn't dare, because his cultivation was not as good as his strength and his status, so he didn't dare, but he still felt dissatisfied in his heart. It was true, if it wasn't for the help of the Zilong King, Chen Zong's spiritual will would have been traumatized.
It's normal for Chen Zong to feel dissatisfied, but Chen Zong also knows that the difference between them is too great to be compared at all, so he can only bear it silently and save it for the future.
The Black Dragon King can actually see one or two, but he doesn't care. After all, he is just an ant. No matter how high the talent is, no matter how deep the potential is, it is not strength after all.
The Transcendent Realm is the gap between heaven and earth, and the gap is indescribable.
Even those so-called pseudo-transcendents are actually not taken seriously by the real super-powers.
The Purple Dragon King didn't care about Chen Zong's attitude either, it didn't matter whether he felt dissatisfied or whatever.
Chen Zong handed over the head of Hua Xie Ma Qianli, and the Zilong King knew the authenticity after a glance.
"Okay, the assessment time is one month, and there are more than ten days left, you all go back and wait for the notice." Zilong King said.
The three of them bowed to the Purple Dragon King one after another and said goodbye before turning around and leaving Panlong Hall.
"Zeng Zhanjun... Jiang Tianmu..." Chen Zong knew that these two people might become his opponents for winning the title of national scholar.
"There are still more than ten days left. I can practice hard and strive to further improve my cultivation and make my combat power stronger. By then, I will be more sure of winning the title of national scholar."
After returning to Guan Mansion, after meeting Zheng Yuanhou, Chen Zong went directly back to Hongfeng Garden and started a small retreat.
