Chapter 102: Super Dark Horse

  Although Akagi's results have not been announced, the suspense of the team's first place has already settled.

  The only suspense now is who will be the personal champion of this trial. Who can soar to the sky in this trial and become a king or a marquis?

  Although Akagi's castle those martial arts children have already determined that their young master has locked in the first place, without any suspense.

  But the other three kingdoms did not want to think so. Without seeing the final result, who can guarantee that the young master of the Akagi kingdom will be stronger than the highest score of the Violet Flame Kingdom?

  Of course, for Akagi's first place, everyone didn't think twice. It was as if the princes taking first place in their respective lands was a matter of course, and there was no room for suspense.

  Yun Qingyan was just about to ask again, but suddenly saw the messenger of Zhenwu Sacred Land coming out of the camp, and couldn't care about Qin Wushuang and Da Xiyang anymore, and ran over in a hurry.

  "It's our turn, the Redwood Kingdom!"

  Around Ximen Xing, a group of martial arts students from Nan Yun State City whispered to each other. Those who had hopes of advancing were all excited and swarmed over.

  "Want to take a look at the past?" Da Xiyang called out to Qin Wushuang. He asked himself if he had crossed the line without any issues, but the question was what ranking he could be in.

  Deep down, he hopes to make it into the top ten. But seeing how everyone performed this time, Da Xiyin also feels uncertain in his heart.

  Qin Wushuang followed in the crowd, and didn't intentionally show off anything.

  The messenger of the true martial sacred place held a list in his hand and smiled: "Everyone, I believe you must be waiting for the final suspense? Don't worry, the respected ones will come out soon. The great respected one still has something to say."

  Just then, the martial youths had all fallen silent, because each and every one of them saw that the four great masters had emerged from their tents in unison.

  Especially the purple-robed Venerable, a joyful smile was written all over his solemn face.

  "Great job, young men! Thanks for your brilliant performance. As for the results of this Wu Tong trial, our attitude at Zhen Wu Xiang is just two words - satisfactory!"

  The Grandmaster in purple robes waved his long sleeves and suppressed the scene, then opened his mouth to say: "Among you, is there anyone who has doubts about the results?"

  "No!"

  "Are there any doubts about the fairness of this trial?"

  "No!"

  This time, the trial has indeed reached a point where there is no room for error in terms of organization. Even if there are some small tricks between martial arts schools, they have little impact on the overall situation. At least, this time's martial arts trial does not have any favoritism or nepotism, everyone who enters the trial area is 100% fair.

  The purple-robed elder nodded in satisfaction: "Good, seeing everyone's recognition, I am very pleased. When the final results come out, I believe no one will have any doubts either."

  No.

  "Good! Just as I said before. This trial, the top few, performed exceptionally well, and the competition was fierce. But the biggest surprise of this trial is the constant emergence of dark horses. Especially the Redwood King, it's really surprising us elders one after another!"

  As soon as these words came out, Akagi's martial arts boys took a deep breath. Those with high family backgrounds were slightly uneasy.

  The biggest surprise is the dark horse? Is it possible that there are still many dark horses in this outing?

  "Chiaki Wang Ling, a total of five cross-regional Wu Tong! However, there are also two Wu Tong who reached the cross-regional qualification but did not apply for it, with equally outstanding results! Both broke into the top ten!"

  Daxi Yang's heart, which had been hanging in suspense like a huge boulder, suddenly returned to its original position. The last thing Dazun said was bound to be about him, Daxi Yang (here the author made a mistake, Daxi Ming is his older brother).

  "It's all thanks to the brilliant performance of these young warriors. The Akagi Domain has taken a huge lead in this team competition, with not one but two young warriors crossing over twice! This is an incredible achievement!"

  The tone of Da Zun's voice was filled with joy and encouragement.

  Two?! The martial youths of Akagi Domain were boiling over. This was indeed an extraordinary achievement, and at the very least, Akagi Domain had already taken the lead in this one aspect over the other three domains!

  That little king with a purple gold crown on his head had a hint of doubt on his handsome face: "Is there another second-grade cross-regional martial arts child?"

  "Relax, don't worry, even if he crosses the zone twice again, what's it to you? Your score is almost close to crossing the zone three times. It's definitely not comparable to yours!"

  "Right, rush to the championship, no suspense!"

  The great master saw everyone's expectation had reached a certain critical point, and with a wave of his hand, he shouted: "Post the list".

  The list was unfolded and hung high on the stage in the most conspicuous position.

  Almost all eyes gathered on the top row at first glance.

  A name, prominently displayed——

  Qin Wu Xiong!

  The score behind is even more frightening.

  Perfect score!

  This is a ratio that makes all the martial arts children instantly petrified, almost everyone's expression, when they saw this scene, was instantly frozen on their faces. It took a long time for someone to react.

  "Six hundred points? No way?"

  "This... this isn't even a score that humans should have."

  "Qin Wushuang, you......" Usually eloquent and quick-witted, Yun Qingyan found her tongue stiffened at this moment, unable to utter a single word except for being speechless.

  That's too exaggerated, 600 points

  Amidst waves of applause and cheers, filled with surprise, admiration, doubt...

  In the end, all emotions boil down to two words - worship.

  Who is Qin Wushuang? Everyone looked around with their eyes.

  The martial youths of Nanyun State looked at Qin Wushuang with eyes that had completely lost the unfriendliness they had shown when they were in the city of Nanyun State, replaced entirely by adoration.

  The martial arts children of Akagi ōjō were also stunned. They had never thought that the young master who got 236 points would lose his personal championship.

  Never thought it would be lost in such a shocking way!

  That young master Wang's handsome face also had a layer of frost, his complexion was ashen, and it was clear that he couldn't accept the reality in front of him either.

  Since the top three scores came out, his heart has been completely let go, and he also thinks that this personal crown is none other than him.

  Unexpectedly, a monster emerged out of nowhere and snatched away his personal championship in one go!

  Qin Wushuang

  This name, Akagi no ōkimi, was not entirely unknown to the people who were well-informed about messages. However, as a member of the royal family, he had never been particularly interested in events that occurred in the lower provinces.

  Da Xiyang was shocked, but he had already found his place on the list, seventh! This is a ranking that makes him proud enough.

  Under him were also several big shots from other states.

  First place, Qin Wushuang, 600 points.

  Second place, He Yuchong, 236 points.

  Third place, Ximen Xing, one hundred and fifty-two points.

  Fourth place, Tongyan, 140 points

  ……

  Seventh place, Da Xiyang, 86 points.

  The lower the ranking, the more tied situations there are. Akagi's lowest score for advancing is far higher than the other three regions, reaching 60 points!

  Those fifty or more martial arts students sighed and lamented, complaining that they were born in the wrong time. Their scores would have been enough to pass in other territories, but in the Redwood Kingdom, they could only be eliminated.

  The purple-robed grandmaster pressed down on his palm, signaling everyone to quiet down.

  "Ladies and gentlemen, now it's just the ranking of individual scores. The basic rules are that the top ten teams will be rewarded, and the top ten individuals will also be rewarded. All rewards, if overlapping, will be accumulated! Scores take effect immediately. Relevant reward seals will also arrive within a month!"

  His gaze swept the scene, his tone suddenly turning severe: "This trial will be fair and public. If anyone is dissatisfied with their score and harbors thoughts of revenge, the True Martial Sacred Land will not forgive easily! You should all consider this carefully. In short, remember that this trial is extremely important to the True Martial Sacred Land, and the results will not take effect within the borders of my country, Baiyue. If anyone has any objections, they can go to Wu Saint Mountain to reason with Lord Wu!"

  Go to Mount Wushengshan to reason with Lord Wusheng? The Wu Tong disciples were crying and laughing at the same time. Unless someone is tired of living, otherwise in front of the authority of the true Wusheng land, it's better to obey obediently. Moreover, this trial really didn't have any loopholes to speak of.

  Everyone is even more curious, what kind of sacredness is this Qin Wushuang, who suddenly appeared out of nowhere and killed in a shocking manner. This black horse is really too astonishing! "Alright, all the martial arts children who have come out will stay behind. Those who haven't come out will be led back to their respective territories by the person in charge of each territory. Along the way, you are not allowed to disturb the people or cause trouble. If anyone brings the content of the trial into reality, the True Martial Sacred Land will severely punish them!"

  With a wave of his large sleeve, he declared the dismissal.

  Yun Qingyan was so depressed that he didn't care about anything and said, "Is it dismissed just like that? We've run thousands of miles to get here, and now we're just dismissing it?"

  "Miss Cloud, with a name that has fallen to the mountain, feeling downhearted. Adding to that is the long and winding road, how can we dispel the loneliness? Why don't we travel together instead?"

  "Get out!" Yun Qingyan thought of the three people who came together from Luojiang County, and now she was the only one packing up to go home, this feeling of depression was unbearable.

  So when encountering this kind of boring pickup line, I unhesitatingly blurt out profanity.

  "Ah, going home is just going home. Hehe, individual first and team's best contributor are both from our Luojiang County, I'll take the good news to the folks back in Luojiang County, it's a great thing too."

  "Hey, you two, is there anything you want me to take back?"

  Yun Qingyan walked up to Qin Wushuang and Da Xuanming with a kind intention.

  "Good luck!" Qin Wusuo smiled and sent a sentence.

  Da Xiyang nodded: "I'm also these four words, all the way smooth sailing."

  Yun Qingyan looked at these two fellow villagers, and even though she was usually carefree, she couldn't help but feel a little downhearted and melancholic. Perhaps after this farewell, the gap between them would become irreconcilable. From now on, they would no longer be on the same level of existence.

  "All the martial arts disciples who have come out, gather together in your respective territories!" The purple-robed grandmaster shouted loudly, "Set off immediately and head to Wusong Mountain! Pay respects to Grandmaster Wusong!"

  Audience with Lord Wu Sheng?

  The young warriors suddenly burst into cheers! This is indeed a great honor. You know, many nobles of the Baiyue Kingdom want to visit the Martial Saint Mountain to pay homage to the Martial Saint, but they can't.

  Even if it's the Emperor himself who wants to pay respects to the Martial Saint, he would still have to choose an auspicious day and show due respect.

  But such an honor has now fallen on their heads!

  Qin Wushuang didn't have that kind of surprised and delighted feeling like everyone else, his only question was, what kind of state should the martial saint's cultivation be in?
