"The assessment has officially begun, those who intend to participate can now pay the true yuan stone and enter the Ten Thousand Kill Array."
As soon as the presiding elder of the Ten Thousand Kill Array finished speaking, Wang Yanfeng was the first to jump onto the altar.
"This Wang Yanfeng is indeed getting more and more courageous in the face of setbacks."
"I don't know how much he can improve this time."
Someone under the stage was discussing that Wang Yanfeng got 168th place in the last assessment, but after the assessment, several people who were behind him participated in the assessment and surpassed Wang Yanfeng, finally squeezing Wang Yanfeng to 172nd place.
Wang Yanfeng sat quietly on the altar of the Wan Sha Array, he was very clear that today he was just a small role, even in the next year or two, this place may not become his stage, what he had to do was to take every step steadily.
"Assessment begins!"
The halo descended, and Wang Yanfeng began to fight. These twelve people were all ranked after 120. As the assessment was about to end, Wang Yanfeng was defeated for the third time, ultimately ranking 145th.
"Wang Yanfeng has killed over 150 people."
"It's temporary for now, but who knows if I'll be squeezed out again. However, being able to enter the top 150 in just the second month is still pretty good."
Wang Yanfeng is indeed very good, but Lin Ming's halo is too strong, so he was completely ignored.
"The second round, those who intend to take the assessment can go on stage now." The presiding senior brother said again.
Twelve positions were vacated, and a purple-robed girl flew onto the stage like the wind, standing in one of the positions. The girl was precisely Murong Zi.
"Jingyun sister, let's finish the exam early."
"Good." Then, Bai Jingyun also appeared on stage.
There were some gasps from the crowd, these two young women, one seventeen years old and the other eighteen years old, putting aside their appearance and temperament, the martial arts talent of the two women can also be ranked in the top ten among the younger generation in Tianyun City, and the family background of the two women is also outstanding, it can only make people sigh at the heavens' favoritism towards them.
Murong Zi has been in the Seventh Xuanwu Academy for two years and is ranked 36th, while Bai Jingyun has been there for three years and is ranked 26th. This achievement, especially Murong Zi's, is even beyond Zhu Yan's reach!
The assessment of the beauty, is always very easy to attract many people's attention, even those big shots' scouts also come in spirit, after all, many big shots, such as the tenth prince, intend to marry these two girls.
Of course, compared to the two women, Qin Xuan is more outstanding, but Qin Xuan is too far away, she aspires to pursue the Innate Realm, and the Innate Masters are legendary figures that ordinary people cannot reach. Marrying Qin Xuan is just a dream, so Mu Rongzi and Bai Jingyun become even more sought after.
Marrying them, not only can they enjoy a happy life, but also become a great help to their own career. Who wouldn't be tempted by such a good thing?
If we can get them all together, it would be the ultimate in life, even the prince wouldn't dare to think about it!
The brilliance of the Wan Sha Array descended, and the assessment of the two women officially began. Some men stared intently at the figures of the two women bathed in the brilliance, while others clenched their fists tightly, muttering to themselves as if they were more nervous than during their own assessments.
Witnessing this scene, Lin Ming felt a slight sense of melancholy in his heart. He knew that he couldn't get the things that were unrelated to him, yet he still paid close attention and worried about them. This was probably the sorrow of being an insignificant person.
Small character... Even if you enter the Seventh Xuanwu Prefecture, if you can't stand out in this group of geniuses' fierce competition, you'll still be a small character after all!
The assessment lasted for six incense sticks, and Mu Rong Zi lightly hummed a tune, her pale face retreating from the stage. Just this scene alone made many of the silk-clad men anxious, looking at their worried expressions, if they could take Mu Rong Zi's place in suffering, they would probably be delighted.
Murong Zi's final ranking was twenty-eighth, this ranking is shocking!
Right after that, Bai Jingyun also stepped down from the altar, and finally ranked 22nd!
These two queens are getting more and more dazzling, and it's highly likely that they'll enter the top ten in just another year!
Those scouts lit up the transmission talismans one after another and reported back to their masters. This matter was enough to attract the attention of those princes.
These two girls are truly exceptional, unfortunately those princes even if they have a crush on them, can't use force, they aren't afraid of the girls' own strength and the power behind them, although the power they belong to is not small, but also has to obey the imperial family's orders.
But these princes couldn't ignore the Seven Xuanwu Sect, anyone, any organization, even the imperial family didn't have the guts to force or oppress the disciples of the Seven Xuanwu Sect, that would be equivalent to despising the authority of the Seven Xuan Valley, and the terror of the Seven Xuan Valley made the imperial family tremble with fear!
"The third round of assessment has begun, disciples who wish to be assessed may come on stage." The attending senior brother announced once again.
After the position was vacated, Zhu Yan glanced at Lin Ming with a faint gaze and slowly walked up to the altar.
"Zhu Yan is on fire!"
As for innate talent, Zhu Yan may not be among the top ten young people in Tianyun City, but he won't be far off either. At 17 years old, with a fourth-grade superior innate talent, after entering the Seventh Xuanwu Academy for two years, his ranking is thirty-ninth on the stone tablet. This achievement is only second to Murong Zi's.
Of course, Zhu Yan paid much more effort for this achievement than Murong Zi who was indulged in playing!
So his talent is actually slightly worse.
Zhu Yan's strength and talent naturally attracted the attention of many major powers, but Zhu Yan was destined to be someone who would never be swayed.
The daughter of Zhu's family head, who is also Zhu Yan's aunt, married into the imperial palace and became Consort Rong. She is the mother of the current tenth prince, who has enormous power!
So Zhu Yan was destined to be the tenth prince.
According to the imperial succession rules of Tianyun Country, the eldest son is preferred over younger sons and legitimate children are prioritized over illegitimate ones. However, the empress had no children, so the ruler of Tianyun Country appointed the eldest son of the noble consort as the crown prince. This third prince was well-read from a young age, but his martial arts talent was only second-rate, and his abilities were limited. Moreover, he was kind-hearted and gentle, and it was uncertain whether he could steadily inherit the throne.
Among these ten princes, the tenth prince had the highest martial arts talent among all the princes, with a four-star lower rank. With his own hard work and diligence, he achieved a high level of cultivation. At a young age, the tenth prince led the army to the border, was brave in battle, and repeatedly won merits, earning him the title of Yun Qin Wang, bestowed with a purple gold crown, and wearing a four-clawed golden dragon robe.
In the Tianyun Empire, not every imperial prince can be enfeoffed as a king. Even if they are enfeoffed, there are two ranks of kings: the higher rank is called qinwang (亲王) and the lower rank is called junwang (郡王). Qinwang princes have a one-character title, such as Yunqinwang, the tenth imperial prince. The territory under their jurisdiction can be referred to as a "country" and may even possess a "national treasure" equivalent to an imperial seal. Junwang princes, on the other hand, have a two-character title and only have a fiefdom.
In terms of power and influence in the imperial court, this tenth prince Yun Qi Wang is even more powerful than the current crown prince.
No one can say for sure who will ultimately get their hands on the future throne.
Once the tenth prince takes over, Zhu Yan will become the current emperor's cousin. Although Zhu Yan's mother is only a concubine in the Zhu family and Zhu Yan can only be considered as born out of wedlock, his aunt who is Rong Fei Niang Niang is born to the legitimate wife, so their kinship is somewhat distant. However, Zhu Yan has exceptional talent and ability, he will definitely be trusted by the new emperor!
So Zhu Yan, in the Seventh Xuanwu Mansion and even the entire Tianyun City, is a number one figure, but everything is on the premise that the Tenth Prince succeeds in seizing the throne. Once the Tenth Prince fails to seize the throne, Zhu Yan will not only fail to become a figure, but may also be eliminated as an outcast.
"Assessment begins!"
Zhu Yan entered the Wan Sha Array and immediately someone started timing with incense sticks.
A stick of incense, a stick of incense was burned out, until the fifth pillar of incense was burned halfway, Zhu Yan only showed a slight sign of weakness, until the sixth pillar of incense was lit and burned out more than half, Zhu Yan groaned and retreated from the Ten Thousand Kill Array.
Final ranking, thirty-second!
Lin Ming quietly looked at this ranking, not feeling the slightest surprise. Zhu Yan had entered the Seven Profound Martial House's Heaven's Chosen more than half a year ago, and at that time he was only at the peak of the third stage of Body Tempering. Now that he had broken through to the fourth stage, his cultivation advancing by leaps and bounds was not unexpected.
"Thirty-two! I was one hundred and twenty-six last month!" Lin Ming touched the Gun of Crossing Rainbow on his back, subconsciously licking his lips. "Next, I'll go up to the stage and take a look at how far I am from Zhu Yan."
