young master from the Su family"The three were extremely surprised.This is like hitting the jackpot!Just like eating, it was supposed to be a simple meal, but ended up with a big, fat golden dumpling...At the county magistrate's martial arts field, the preliminary assessment was nearing its end.

The dozens of "Sea-Melting Peak" experts who came to participate in the preliminary election have all demonstrated their strongest abilities.

Kang Jing and Kang Xuan, two brothers, stood together.

"Xiao Xuan, you did a good job," Kang Jing said.

Kang Xu then smiled, "Out of all the people who participated in this preliminary assessment, only six, including your older brother, performed better than me. Adding the three Dragon Blades who already cleared the first level of the Red Dragon Tower and received their spots early, there are only nine in total. And I, just happen to be the tenth!"

Although it came in last place.

As long as he could pass the preliminary selection and go on the hunt in the imperial city with his older brother, he would be satisfied.

At this time, the magistrate's office official had already begun to announce the results.

"Kang Jing, Tang Feng, Guan Yue..." The official rattled off six names one after another.

These six names are those who performed the best in the recent preliminary assessment.

"Next, it'll be my turn," Kang Xuan secretly anticipated.

After reading out the six names, he paused and then said: “Congratulations to you six for obtaining a spot in the Royal City Hunt. As for the rest of you present, come back in five years.”

"What" Kang Xuan's face changed instantly.

Everyone else on stage was fine, after all their performance wasn't even close to the top ten.

Ke this KangXuan, according to his expectations, he happened to be ranked tenth, completely able to get a spot.

"What's going on There are only six people here Even with the three from Dragon Sword, that's only nine. Who got the remaining spot"

Could it be Su Xin

Kangkang immediately thought of Su Xin.

Before, Su Xin had been brought into the inner courtyard in front of everyone, just like Long Dao.

And just now, the preliminary selection assessment, Su Xin didn't show up to participate either...

"It must be him!!" A flash of anger crossed Kang Xuan's eyes.

"It's not fair, sir!"

Kangle directly stepped forward and said in a low voice.

What did you say

The one presiding over this preliminary assessment was the Grand Steward of the County Office, a man who was also Wang Junshou's closest and most trusted confidant. In terms of strength, he was a genuine Void-Breaking Realm expert. Hearing Kangxuan's words, the Grand Steward's face immediately darkened.

"Sir, if I'm not mistaken, Su Xin, who was brought into the inner courtyard alone before, also received a nomination for the preliminary round, right" Kang Xuan asked.

"The chief nodded.

"

Upon hearing this, Kang Xuan was immediately enraged. “What a joke! That Su Xin is nothing more than a mere graduate from Hai Da Cheng. What qualifications does he have to even deserve a hunting quota”

His words were immediately met with approval from most of the people present.

Before, when they saw that Su Xin was brought into the inner court ahead of time, these people already felt a bit resentful in their hearts.

To everyone's surprise, Su Xin not only received treatment completely different from theirs, but he also, like Long Dao, Qiu Ze, and Ling Yu, had been given a hunting quota in advance.

This leaves them wondering how they could accept it.

"Are you questioning the fairness of my county office" The chief steward's eyes turned cold as he stared at Kang Xuen.

Under the gaze of the head supervisor, KangXuan felt a little uneasy.

"Humph!"

A cold snort suddenly arose, and a figure landed beside the steward.

"Master Yuan Qing, the chief manager, immediately stepped forward and bowed to the arriving person."

Those who had seen Yuan Qing's martial arts performance all bowed in unison.

Yuan Qing coldly glanced at Kang Xuan and said, “Every time the imperial city hunt is held, the preliminary selection for determining the hunting quotas among various prefectures and counties has always been under the scrutiny of my Chi Long Lou. If you find it unfair, you can leave directly. In the future, if there are hunts, don't come again.”

"I, I..." KangXuan's figure trembled slightly, and she couldn't speak clearly.

Shut up

Standing beside him, Kang Jing also scoffed and said, “With the supervision of the Chi Long Lou, no one dares to act recklessly. Since Su Xin was able to get the hunting quota in advance, there must be a reason. Don’t say any more.”

Kangkang didn't dare to say another word.

And at this time, when Su Xin and the others learned that the preliminary assessment had ended, they also walked out of the inner courtyard.

"Su Xinxiao friend

"

As soon as Yuan Qing saw Su Xin, he immediately greeted her with a bright smile.

"Yuan Qing, who was in charge, greeted Su Xin with a smile."

As for Lung Dao, Qiu Ze, and Ling Yu who stood with Su Xin, they all immediately bowed to Yuan Qing. However, Yuan Qing only gave a slight nod in response.

Although the three members of the Dragon Blade group were able to clear the first floor of the Dragon Seeking Tower before they turned forty, which was considered quite talented, in Yuan Qing's eyes, the three of them combined were probably not as important as a single fingertip of Su Xin.

"Su Xin brothers, let us fight on this martial arts field," Long Dao said.

"Hao Su nodded.

"

Soon, all four of them appeared in the martial arts arena.

And those who had gathered at the martial arts arena, all of the peak cultivators from the Sea-Melting Realm, subconsciously gave way to make room.

What's going on

"It's Longdao and his group, are they here for a friendly spar Su Xin seems to be among them as well."

"No, look at their positions. It seems like Long Dao and his men are going to fight Su Xin."

These Hǎi-Dēngfeng who came to participate in the preliminary assessment immediately became excited.

They were full of curiosity about Su Xin, who, despite only having the cultivation level of a mere sea-form stage, was able to obtain a hunting quota in advance.

They originally thought Su Xin was going to fight one of the three: Long Dao, Qiu Ze, or Ling Yu. However, as Long Dao, Qiu Ze, and Ling Yu all drew their weapons, everyone present was stunned.

It's not one-to-one, it's one-to-three!

"This Su Xin dares to fight Dragon Knife, Qiu Ze, and Ling Yu all at the same time!"

"What are you kidding me"

Both brothers, Na Kangjing and Kangxuan, widened their eyes in surprise.

KangXue even thought Su Xin was crazy

Being able to fight three top-tier experts who have cleared the first layer of the Dragon Seeking Tower at the same time is truly extraordinary.

In fact, the reason Su Xin faced three enemies alone was not because he was arrogant, but because the dragon knife had requested it.

A half month ago, the battle between Su Xin and Long Dao was too big of a gap.

Although Long Dao had made some progress in the past half month, he knew deep down that he was still far from being Su Xin's opponent. So, when he learned in the east hall just now that Qiu Ze and Ling Yu also wanted to fight Su Xin, he immediately agreed to work together with them.

He didn't agree, and he didn't refuse.

That's why we have this scene now.

"Su Xinxiong, you must be careful."

After all, it's three people working together. This dragon sword's confidence is clearly a few points higher.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

In an instant, the three of them made their move at the same time.

Three powerful auras of spiritual energy suddenly erupted, and just from the aura alone, each one was far stronger than a normal peak-stage Sea Transformation cultivator. But even more formidable were the techniques they unleashed...

Of the three, Longdao leaped out with a blade in each hand, like an arrow shot from a bow. The blades in his hands danced through the air, graceful and silent. As one blade struck, the other was already poised to strike again.

Joe Chen is burly, resembling a small mountain. He wielded an axe that weighed several hundred pounds; with each swing, it was like splitting mountains and parting the sea. The moment the axe swung, there was also a poetic sweep to it.

As for Ling Yu, his body was as elusive as a ghost. He held a thin sword, as delicate as a cicada's wing, in his hand. It swayed with the wind, and under his focused intent, it moved like lightning, striking towards Su Xin's waist.

Wow!

These three people, each one of them is stronger than me!

At this moment, Kang Jing looked utterly astonished.

Although he performed the best in the just-concluded pre-selection assessment and indeed possesses the ability to clear the first level of the Dragon Tower,

However, the three who made their move now, Long Dao, Qiu Ze, and Ling Yu, had all cleared the first floor of the Dragon Seeking Tower long ago. Before this, he hadn't known, but now that the three of them had taken action, Kang Jing immediately understood that any one of them was stronger than him.

Especially the two battle swords of the dragon knife, wielded one after another, he felt that if he were to fight them, he could probably only last for a moment before being defeated on the spot.

Su Xin, facing the simultaneous attacks of Long Dao, Qiu Ze, and Ling Yu, gave the impression of being as calm and composed as a breeze.

He simply held his sword in one hand, casually waving it and creating blossoms of swordplay. Yet, with such ease, he effortlessly shattered the attacks of the three assailants.

No matter how crazily the three attacked, even if they consecutively unleashed some trump card techniques, they were all easily blocked by Su Xin in the end.

"How strong is that"

Even Qiu Ze and Ling Yu, who had exerted all their effort, were deeply shaken at this moment.

When they heard Longdao say that even three of them combined might not be a match for Su Xin, they were still somewhat unconvinced.

Now...

Suddenly, Su Xin took a step forward, and with it, his sword swept through the air.

Phantom Scroll, First Style, Dark Light!

In the world, it seemed there was only Su Xin's sword, that single flash of brilliance.

Guided by sword intent, this ray of light moved at an inconceivable speed.

The three warriors wielding dragon blades were completely caught off guard.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

Three people's weapons, under the tremor of power, all fell to the ground.

"Three, I yield to you." Su Xin smiled faintly.

"Defeated!"

"The three of us teamed up, and we still lost"

The three of them, wielding dragon blades, had their minds a bit muddled.

While Yuan Qing, who had been watching from the sidelines all along, saw this scene, his eyes lit up. "The second layer! Su Xin's decision has already demonstrated the strength to pass the second floor of the Dragon Seeking Tower. Even among the geniuses who have passed the second floor of the Dragon Seeking Tower, he is definitely one of the strongest!"

Not only did his cultivation level break through, but his swordsmanship and sword intent comprehension also improved significantly!

"In just two months, the progress is so exaggerated"

Yuan Qing was deeply moved.

He even felt that the Heavenly Flame Palace, by putting Su Xin's special recruitment quota on hold, had simply gone blind.

After the battle ended, Long Dao and his companions slowly came to their senses.

Yuan Qinglang said, "The ten who received the hunting quota, please come forward. This old man will explain some details about this hunt to you."

Those who immediately received a spot stepped forward.

"Xiao Xuan, wait for me here a moment," Kang Jing said, and walked forward.

And at this moment, KangXuan's eyes were vacant, his whole mind a blank.

He was completely stunned.

"Facing three opponents and winning so effortlessly, this Su Xin... actually, he's incredibly strong!"

"I doubted him before, thinking he wasn't qualified to get a hunting quota"

“I, I really…”

Kanglei doesn't know what to say anymore.

He could only be thankful that Su Xin hadn't heard what he had said before, otherwise... Judging from Su Xin's just-displayed strength, even if ten of him were tied together, he estimated they wouldn't be enough for Su Xin to kill with one hand.

After Yuan Qing gave his instructions, everyone dispersed.

And Su Xin returned to the Su family.

As the first family in Yongning County today, the Su family is very well-informed and already knows that Su Xin has been given a spot to participate in the Imperial City Hunt.

For a moment, the entire Su family was filled with excitement.

"Young Master is too amazing, he's only nineteen years old this year."

"At nineteen, one can participate in the Imperial City Hunt and even have a chance to enter the legendary Tianyan Palace..."

It is said that the young master shone brightly in today's preliminary assessment, defeating several strong contenders who had passed the first level of the Dragon Seeking Tower.

The Su family is buzzing with gossip everywhere.

Those young men of the Su family were even more excited, idolizing Su Xin immensely.

And upon returning to his family, Su Xin immediately went to see his father.

He was still in the study. Compared to two months ago, Su Bai had not changed much. He was still as aged, withered, and haggard as ever.

"Do you want to enter the Heavenly Flame Palace through hunting in the Imperial City" Su Bai stared at Su Xin.

"Su Xin nodded."

"Are you sure" Su Bai asked.

"Su Xin nodded again."

Over the past two months of training, he not only broke through his cultivation, but most importantly, both his swordsmanship and his comprehension of sword intent have greatly improved. Now, even if he were to face the second level of the Dragon Seeking Tower, he could easily pass it. If he truly exerted himself to the fullest, entering the top ten of this royal city hunt would not be a fantasy at all.

"If you truly manage to enter the Heavenly Flame Palace, then for a long period of time afterward, you will be cultivating within its walls. As for your family, there is no need to worry. With the identity of a disciple of the Heavenly Flame Palace, no one would dare to lay a finger on them easily. And as long as I am still alive for a single day, no one can harm your family." Su Bai's voice was somewhat hoarse.

Go for it with confidence.

How far you can go, and how far you can reach, all depends on yourself.

Remember what I told you before about being a father, when you can crush the entire Situ family under your own power, then you will be qualified to know the true secret of my Su family!

Besides, when your cultivation breaks through to the Void Breaking Realm, remember to return to the family.

Su Bai finished speaking, then waved his hand and turned to paint his picture.

"The child takes his leave!"

Su Xin bowed, then turned and left.

……, what appeared were four monstrous birds with mouths incredibly sharp, like swords.In terms of speed, these four strange birds are faster than the giant wolf we just saw.Su Xin continued to strike, q...
