"How can his strength be so strong?" Lin Xuans teeth were tightly clenched on her lower lip, her eyes staring fixedly at Zhang Ruochen.

  Such a result was really too hard for her to accept.

  Lin Fengxian was also shocked, staring at Zhang Ruochen standing in the martial arts arena, his whole body seemed to be petrified.

  Ordinarily, young warriors could only see Zhang Ruochens powerful strength, but those with high cultivation were even more shocked.

  When Zhang Ruochens foot first touched the ground, he was able to send the thousand-jin heavy stone plate flying over a meter high, and it wasnt just the force of recoil.

  Instead, he injected the true energy inside his body into the ground, and the true energy transformed into waves of ripples, impacting the bottom of the stone plate.

  Under the superposition of layer upon layer of waves, the stone disc was finally shaken off.

  Even if it were just relying on the power of backlash, flying a thousand-jin heavy stone disc would be impossible even for a martial artist who has achieved the Great Perfection of the Yellow Extreme.

  His control over the true energy was simply exquisite and meticulous, making many older martial arts masters in attendance feel astonished and somewhat inferior.

  Secondly, the thousand-jin heavy stone disc fell from five meters high in the air, and that impact force was so terrifying that it was not something a martial artist at the Yellow Extreme Boundary could catch.

  But Zhang Ruochen still used his true energy, transforming it into wave after wave, crashing against the bottom of the stone plate, offsetting the impact force of the falling stone plate.

  It was precisely because of this that he could steadily catch the falling stone disc.

  Only a true martial arts master with exceptional eyesight can see through such means. It is precisely because they can see the clues that the martial arts masters present will be shocked and feel unbelievable.

  The Ninth Princes control over his true energy was more exquisite than many martial artists in the Mystic Extreme Realm.

  A martial arts prodigy was born

  Zhang Ruochen walked out of the martial arts arena, passing by Lin Xuans side. Lin Xuans eyes were cold and sharp as she stared at him, saying: "Youre hiding really deeply, are you trying to humiliate me on purpose? Ill tell you, human strength can be rapidly increased to an unimaginable level through the consumption of heavenly treasures and earthly gems."

  However, when it comes to a real fight, its not necessarily the case that whoever is stronger will win. The year-end assessment has just begun, and soon Ill let you see the true gap between us.

  Lin Xuanxian couldnt see Zhang Ruochens exquisite manipulation of the true energy, so she thought that Zhang Ruochen was lucky and had taken some kind of heavenly material or treasure to possess his current powerful strength.

  In fact, some ordinary people mistakenly took the rare and exotic fruit, and it is indeed possible that they suddenly became omnipotent.

  Upon hearing Lin Xiangs words, Zhang Ruochen lightly shook his head and didnt bother to respond to her, directly walking towards Lin Fei instead.

  "Mother, I did it," Zhang Ruochen said.

  Lin Fei, standing among the concubines, looked as if she had been struck by lightning, her eyes shining with tears, and her voice trembling: "Dust, its really my Dust"

  Lin Fei tightly hugged Zhang Ruochen and burst into tears.

  She has been waiting for this day for too long.

  I thought it would never be possible to wait for this day, but unexpectedly, Zhang Ruochen did it. He became a warrior and a young strong man who made everyone look at him with new eyes, making everyone stop ridiculing him.

  What she wants is actually very simple, just a fair treatment.

  The concubines, palace maids and eunuchs standing by couldnt help but think to themselves, "From now on, we must never offend Concubine Lin again."

  Good

  Yunwu County King suddenly stood up, excitedly staring at Zhang Ruochen, saying: "Jiuers great talent has finally emerged, this king is overjoyed. Regardless of the results of the year-end assessment, the royal family will set up a banquet to celebrate for three days. Jiuer, come here and let me take a closer look."

  "Dust, hurry up and go pay your respects to your father."

  Lin Fei wiped away her tears and immediately pulled Zhang Ruochen towards Yun Wu Junwang.

  "Long live the king!" Lin Fei and Zhang Ruochen simultaneously bowed their hands in respect.

  Yunwu County King stared at Zhang Ruochen and said, "Your cultivation has reached the Small Extreme Realm of the Yellow Extreme Boundary, right?"

  Just now, Zhang Ruochen showed his strength and naturally couldnt hide it from Yun Wugongs eyes.

  "Yes"

  "In just three months, youve reached the Yellow Extreme Realms minor peak. This is not something an ordinary person can achieve. Ninth Child, what kind of extraordinary encounter have you had recently?" Cloud Martial Duke said.

  Zhang Ruochen said calmly, "I shall report to the king that I have indeed had some unusual encounters. However, they are my secrets and I have the right not to reveal them, nor do I want to make them public."

  "The great king is your own father, what secrets cant you tell even your own flesh and blood?" The queen said angrily.

  The King of Yunwu County slightly raised his hand, stopping the Queen from continuing to speak. With a hint of appreciation in his expression, he stared at Zhang Ruochen and said: "Every martial artist has their own secrets. Since you dont want to say it, I wont force you. Just focus on participating well in the year-end assessment. Im looking forward to your next performance."

  Next, walking into the martial arts arena was the Ninth Princess of the Imperial Family.

  Jiuzhous master Zhang Yuxi has a long life and gets the countrys color, with white skin, tall stature, and a noble aristocratic temperament emanating from her body.

  She is only one day older than Zhang Ruochen, her martial arts talent is not inferior to Lin Suers, and her beauty is also not inferior to Lin Suers. She is also one of the four great beauties of Yunwu County, along with Lin Suer, known as the "Wangcheng Double Beauty".

  The Ninth Miss also lifted the tenth stone disc and threw it thirteen meters away, with a strength slightly weaker than Lin Xians. Lin Xian threw the stone disc fifteen meters away.

  Jiugun Zhu slightly furrowed her brow, walked out of the martial arena and stood beside Zhang Ruochen. Her eyes sparkled with an enchanting smile, "Ninth Brother, when Wang Shan goes hunting later, you must be careful, I am your formidable opponent."

  Zhang Ruochen and Jiu Junzhu were of similar age, so they often played together when they were young. After Jiu Junzhu activated the Divine Martial Mark, she devoted her time to cultivating martial arts, and their relationship gradually became estranged.

  Now Zhang Ruochen was even more unfamiliar with Jiugunzhu, he just nodded lightly and didnt say anything else.

  The next person to enter the martial arts arena was Zhang Ji, the Eighth Prince of Wang.

  Originally, Wangzi thought he had reached a small extreme and could easily crush Zhang Ruochen during the year-end assessment, even gaining the appreciation of Yunwu County King.

  However, Zhang Ruochen performed too amazingly and severely damaged his confidence.

  "I must lift up the tenth stone slab. Zhang Ruochen is just a waste material, if he can do it, I must also be able to do it."

  Originally, Hachioji had just barely reached the small extreme position and didnt even think about going to lift the tenth stone slab. But under Zhang Ruochens pressure, he desperately wanted to lift the tenth stone slab.

  "Give me rise"

  Hachioji grasped the giant stone plate with both hands, his entire bodys veins bulging out, and incredibly slowly lifted the plate.

  However, just as he lifted it half a meter high, his five fingers slipped, and the stone slab fell heavily onto Hachiojis instep.

  "Ah"

  "A blood-curdling scream like a pig being slaughtered came out of Hachiojis mouth, My legs, my legs, save me!"

  His leg bone was crushed.

  Then, he fainted with pain, lying in the center of the martial arts arena like a dead pig.

  Two guards rushed into the martial arts arena, moved away a thousand-jin boulder and carried Prince Hachiko down.

  Next, another young martial artist walked into the arena.

  The age of these warriors is all above 16 years old. They are the elite selected from various families, and more than half of them can lift a thousand-jin stone disk.

  Among them, three people performed exceptionally well, and their cultivation all reached the Great Extreme of the Yellow Extreme Realm. They threw the stone disc out for more than 20 meters.

  The fifth prince, nineteen years old, threw the stone plate twenty meters away with his cultivation at the Great Extreme Boundary.

  Situ Linjiang, seventeen years old, the first-rate master of the younger generation of the Situ family, with a cultivation base at the peak of the Yellow Extreme, threw the stone plate twenty-three meters away.

  Xue Kai, nineteen years old, grandson of the current national teacher, with a cultivation base at the Yellow Extreme Boundarys Great Extreme Position, threw the stone plate twenty-four meters away.

  The first round was a test of strength. Apart from Zhang Ruochen, Lin Xiangxian and Jiugunzhu, it was these three peoples performance that shone the brightest.

  Next is the second round of assessment: Wangshan hunting.

  Only warriors who have lifted up the tenth stone plate are qualified to participate in the second round of assessment.

  In the first round, there were forty-three young martial artists who lifted up the tenth stone slab.

  The guards moved forty-three sturdy antelopes into the martial arena, each one resembling a small elephant with sharp horns and covered in silver armor.

  On the back of the antelope horse hangs a one-and-a-half-meter-long iron wire bow and five shock-thunder arrows.

  The national teacher stood on the stone platform and said in a loud voice, "You can lift a thousand-jin heavy stone disc, which means your strength is already enough to contend with a first-class fierce beast. However, you must remember that even the power of a first-class fierce beast is stronger than you imagine, and the speed of a first-class fierce beast is astonishingly fast."

  "With your strength, its only possible to break through the beasts hide and shoot it dead with a Thunderbolt Arrow."

  "Each person has only five arrows, the more ferocious beasts you kill, the stronger the ferocious beasts you kill, the better your score. Only young warriors who have killed ferocious beasts can participate in the third trial, the martial arts competition."

  "In the mountains of Wangshan, there are dangers everywhere, and its even possible to lose your life. If you encounter a second-level savage beast, you should immediately flee."

  "Wang Shan hunting, now begins."

  Lin Xians legs pushed off the ground, and with a light leap, she displayed her elegant and agile movements, landing on the back of one of the gazelles. She looked at Zhang Ruochen with a gaze, saying: "Brother Zhang, the strength assessment was just my weakness, now is the time for me to truly show my skills, I hope you wont be too far behind."

  "Slap"

  Lin Xiangsan whipped the donkeys buttocks with a whip, and the donkey immediately opened its iron hooves and rushed into Wangshan.
