When Yunwu County King didnt punish Zhang Ruochen, but instead punished Xiao Fei, Lin Fei let out a long sigh of relief and immediately pulled Zhang Ruochen to one side.

  Lin Fei still couldnt quite believe everything that had just happened and said: "Chen Er, you really have become a true martial artist"

  "Yes" Zhang Ruochen nodded and stopped hiding it.

  "Youve just become a warrior and youre going to participate in the year-end assessment, what if you encounter danger?" Lin Fei was somewhat worried.

  "Even if we dont do anything, wont we still encounter danger? Dont worry, Mother, Ill do my best and act within my abilities."

  Only young martial artists under the age of twenty can participate in the year-end assessment.

  Yunwu County King had a total of nine sons and thirteen daughters.

  The five princes, six princes, seven princes, eight princes and nine princes are all under the age of twenty. Except for the seventh prince who is not in the royal city, the other four princes will participate in the assessment.

  Apart from the direct princes and county masters, the families of royal relatives would also select three excellent young martial artists to participate in the year-end assessment. For example, the Lin family.

  Those royal relatives have come one after another and gathered at the outer circle of the Wang clans martial arts arena, forming their own camps.

  In the royal city, some important figures, such as the strong martial artists of the Extreme Boundary, the sect masters, and the heads of large families, also received invitations to come to the Wang Clans Martial Hall to witness the ceremony.

  "Boss, in previous years, the royal familys invitation was also sent to Qingxuan Pavilion, but you never went. This year, how come you plan to attend the ceremony?" Mo Hanlin asked with some confusion as he followed Qin Ya.

  Although it was a cold winter, Qin Ya wore a crimson long dress, revealing two snow-white jade arms, her sexy collarbone seemed to be immune to the chill.

  Qin Yas eyes sparkled with a hint of flirtatiousness, her lips red and lustrous as she said, "When you meet someone interesting, you naturally want to get to know them better."

  "The bosss wife is talking about the Ninth Prince," said Mo Hanlin.

  "Hehe, is there anyone else besides him?" Qin Ya smiled and said.

  Two months ago, after Zhang Ruochen went to Qingxuan Hall, Qin Ya sent someone to investigate him.

  What surprised Qin Ya was that the young man with a firm will had not activated his divine martial mark in the past sixteen years, and was just an ordinary person. Moreover, he was weak and sickly, often bedridden for years.

  She even found out about Zhang Ruochens miserable situation in the palace, Lin Fei and the grievances of the Lin family, etc.

  But this young man actually spent 100,000 silver coins at Qingxuan Pavilion to buy a large quantity of elixirs and two True Martial Treasures.

  He is from where a large amount of silver coins

  What secrets is he hiding on his body?

  In Qin Yas eyes, that Ninth Prince who was looked down upon by everyone else was simply full of mystery, making her unable to figure him out.

  Driven by curiosity, she decided to attend the year-end assessment in person and see how many more secrets Zhang Ruochens body still held.

  "Bosss wife, I didnt expect you to come to the Wang clans martial arts arena too. What a surprise." Lin Feng saw Qin Ya wearing a crimson long dress from afar and took the initiative to greet her.

  In Lin Fengxians eyes, Qin Ya was also a very mysterious woman.

  He had only seen Qin Ya from afar once and didnt count as familiar. However, he knew that she controlled a vast amount of wealth, enough to affect the entire economic operation of Wang City, absolutely not a simple woman at all.

  It is said that in Wu City, among ten shopkeepers, there are five who help her with things.

  However, the bosss wife has always been elusive and rarely seen, even if a wealthy family wants to meet her, it is quite difficult.

  If they can get along with her, it will be beneficial for the Lin family and there wont be any drawbacks.

  Qin Ya glanced at Lin Feng Xian and raised an eyebrow, saying: "Who are you?"

  Mo Hanlin said in a low voice: "Bosss wife, he is the master of the Lin family, Lin Fengxian."

  "Lins family is quite interesting." Qin Yas eyes lit up, and she immediately revealed an elegant smile, saying: "So its the master of the Lin family. Forgive me, forgive me."

  Lin Fengxian didnt expect Qin Ya to be such a pleasant woman, and smiled: "Two years ago, when Lin went to Qingxuan Hall to buy a batch of Dan medicine, he asked to see the bosss wife. Unfortunately, the bosss wife had an urgent matter to attend to at the time, and Lin only caught a glimpse of her from afar. Two years have passed, and the bosss wife has become even more beautiful."

  "Two years ago"

  Qin Ya had no impression at all, but a smile still hung on her face.

  She looked at the martial artists of the Lin family behind Lin Fengxian, her eyes fixed on Lin Xiangers body, and said: "This should be the second lady of the Lin family. What a little beauty, it makes me feel inferior."

  Lin Xian stood behind Lin Fengxian, wearing snow-white clothes, with her black hair swaying gently, her figure slender and delicate, her face clear and refined, she was simply a standard little beauty.

  But its not necessarily true to say that the bosss wife is less beautiful than her.

  All I can say is that everyone has their own personality.

  "Bosss wife, you actually know Little Girl?" Lin Fengxian said with some surprise.

  Qin Ya naturally didnt know Lin Xianxiang, but she had investigated Zhang Ruochen. Among them, one of the people who had the greatest influence on Zhang Ruochen was this beautiful woman, Lin.

  So she happened to remember the name Lin Xiangshan.

  Qin Ya smiled and said, "One of the four great beauties of Yunwu County, I naturally have some knowledge. It is said that even the noble Ninth Prince has been pursuing Lin Gongzhu for a long time. Truly enviable."

  A sixteen or seventeen year old martial artist from the Lin family sneered, "The Ninth Prince is just being overly sentimental. With his talent, even if he cultivates for a hundred years, its still impossible for him to be worthy of Xianger."

  Another slightly older Lin family young warrior laughed and said, "After the year-end assessment, Xianger will be engaged to Seventh Prince. Ninth Prince is like a toad wanting to eat swan meat, not only foolish but also ridiculous."

  The two young martial artists of the Lin family are called Lin Chengwu and Lin Tianwu.

  Lin Xianxiang, Lin Chengwu, and Lin Tianwu are the three most outstanding young geniuses selected by the Lin family to represent them in the year-end assessment.

  Qin Ya stroked her snowy chin, as if she had discovered some earth-shattering secret, and said: "Miss Lin is actually going to be engaged to the Seventh Prince, its truly a matter worthy of congratulations. If the news gets out, Im afraid all the women in the entire royal city will be green with envy."

  Lin Xians lips lightly pursed, and her eyes revealed a few hints of joy. After all, being able to marry the Seventh Prince was absolutely the dream of countless women in Yunwu County.

  She is now very close to her dream.

  Year-end assessment, divided into Wen exam and Wu exam.

  The written test is not taken seriously.

  Even if you get first place in the literary exam, its just a few words of praise. Only by performing exceptionally well in the martial arts exam can one receive generous rewards from the royal family.

  The martial arts exam has begun

  Martial arts exam first round: Testing strength.

  In the martial arts arena, there were black stone discs of varying sizes, divided into ten weight classes.

  The smallest stone disc, with a diameter of only half a meter, weighs one hundred catties.

  The largest stone disc has a diameter of three meters and weighs one thousand catties.

  In order of age, from youngest to oldest, go test your strength one by one.

  Little County Master Zhang Yulin was the first to walk into the martial arts arena, and this year she is only six years old. She is one meter tall, with a delicate and lovely appearance, and is very cute.

  "Whoosh"

  The young mistress walked to the side of a black stone disc with a diameter of only half a meter, stopped her footsteps, and the true energy in her body began to circulate through her meridians. Her hands grasped the edge of the stone disc, looking somewhat strained, but finally managed to lift up the hundred-jin stone disc.

  "Boom"

  She strained herself to throw the stone discus out, and it fell onto the ground one meter away.

  The young lady looked a bit disappointed and her eyes were fixed on the second stone plate again.

  The second stone slab weighed as much as 200 catties. The young mistress exerted all her strength but still couldnt lift the slab, and finally had to give up and retreat.

  "The young mistress, at the age of four, has already activated the Divine Martial Mark. Now, she can actually lift a hundred-jin stone disc. This is truly remarkable, and in the future, she will definitely be another unparalleled heavenly proud daughter."

  The Cloud Martial County Prince sitting above also nodded lightly, his own children had given birth to another genius, and he was naturally overjoyed in his heart.

  Later, the tenth princess and eleventh princess also tested their strength, they were fourteen years old and ten years old respectively.

  The tenth county masters cultivation reached the middle of the Yellow Extreme Realm, and she lifted a two-hundred-jin stone plate and threw it seven meters away. Unfortunately, she was unable to lift a three-hundred-jin stone plate and had to give up in the end.

  The county master also reached the middle of the Yellow Extreme Realm and lifted a two-hundred-jin heavy stone disc, throwing it six meters away.

  However, considering that the eleventh princess is four years younger than the tenth prince, the overall evaluation of the eleventh princesss performance is more excellent.

  The three county masters in front were all under the age of 14 and were all girls, so they were slightly weaker than boys in terms of strength, so at most they could only lift a stone disc weighing two hundred kilograms.

  Next, its the real showdown between geniuses.

  Lin Xuanxiang, 15 years old this year, among the martial artists except for the three county masters, her age is the youngest. So, she becomes the next young genius to enter the martial arena.

  She bypassed the first nine stone pedestals and walked in front of the tenth one.

  The tenth stone disc has a diameter of three meters and weighs one thousand catties.

  Rise

  Lin Xiangs internal true energy surged and transformed, using only one hand to grasp the stone disc that was larger than her own body, effortlessly lifting the thousand-jin heavy stone disc over her head.

  Its hard for ordinary people to imagine that such a slender figure could bear such a terrifying weight.

  Shes only fifteen years old!

  Lin Xiangs five fingers twisted, and the thousand-jin heavy stone plate immediately flew out of her palm, falling to the ground fifteen meters away, smashing a huge pit on the ground.

  "My goodness, the Lin family has produced another incredible genius."

  "Shes just a woman, her physical body cant compare to that of a man, yet she can lift a thousand-jin heavy stone plate with one hand, her cultivation has reached an unimaginably powerful level"

  The Cloud Martial Marquis sitting above also revealed a hint of astonishment, saying: "Whose genius girl is this? Such talent, even compared to the Ninth Princess, its probably not much different."

  The queen was very satisfied with Lin Xiangs performance and smiled: "Your Majesty, she is the daughter of the head of the Lin family, named Lin Xiang. I also think she is excellent and intend to let her be engaged to the seventh prince and become a couple."

  "It was that little girl after all. I have some impression of her. With her talent and family background, she is still a good match for Seventh."

  Yunwu County King slightly furrowed his brow, his gaze turned to Zhang Ruochen standing at the edge of the martial arena, and continued: "However, I recall that she was quite close to Jiuer when they were young, and as cousins, they could be considered childhood sweethearts. In fact, I had even discussed with Old Master Lin about arranging a marriage between them. Unfortunately, after what happened three years ago, the engagement was called off."

  The queen smiled and said, "The king is really muddled. With Lin Xians current talent, how can he possibly be compared to the Ninth Prince? The two of them are already not people of the same world, and their gap will only grow bigger in the future."

  "With her talent, even if she were to be a concubine of the Seventh Prince, I believe she would still be quite willing. The Lin family will definitely not let go of this opportunity to curry favor with the Seventh Prince."

  Yunwu County King also nodded lightly, having to admit that the nine princes talent was far inferior to Lin Xianshan. This is also an unavoidable thing.

  In the martial arts world, the combination of strong men and weak women is very common.

  However, a combination of strong women and weak men, if the gap is too large, is not a good thing for either party.
