"A child, at the age of thirteen or fourteen, was already fighting on the Polar Star Battlefield as an ordinary soldier against the Mysterious Clan. For five years, with ager cultivation, he traversed the front lines of battle countless tis, surviving extre danger countless tis. For five whole years, it was all to gain a chance, a chance to return to his father’s eyes, and the title of Dragon Gate Champion Scholar, without a doubt, was a fitting lure."
Liu Zhiyuan sighed, "In five years, more than ten first-class rits, enough to let him enjoy a lifeti of glory and wealth, yet he exchanged it all for extra points. Understand this... there’s no cap on the extra points for the Dragon Gate Examination, but gaining them isn’t easy. Getting extra points the first ti is easiest, but the second ti is harder, and it only gets tougher thereafter."
He illustrated, "For instance, you, you received 30 points for saving soone, and another 30 because you’re a student from disaster-stricken Qingzhou City. However, in reality, other candidates from Qingzhou City received 40 points because it was your second ti, and the points were restricted, so you got considerably less."
"And under such conditions, being able to add 200 points almost like cheating, just think about how many achievents he must have had, how much effort he exerted... especially learning independently on the battlefield, scoring relatively high in the written exam, showing how resilient his character is."
Liu Zhiyuan couldn’t help smiling, laughing with schadenfreude, "And yet, this person was ultimately snatched by a hair’s breadth, his score taken forcibly. Understand that, in literature, there is no first, in martial arts, there is no second. Had he taken the first, it would have been as if returning with the king’s style, people would say he was single-minded and undaunted in adversity. But alas, he gave his all yet only took second, thus the effect is significantly diminished. Don’t you think he must hate you?"
Xu Lingjun raised an eyebrow, "So, I should apologize?"
"No, I’m saying you did great!!!"
Liu Zhiyuan laughed heartily, "That Han Yun City has a special status, being His Majesty’s eldest son, but back then, due to an old matter, his mother’s family lost and perished in a power struggle. To save his own life, he proposed voluntary exile to the Polar Star Battlefield. Now that many years have passed... his return is to regain the right of royal succession. If he were truly to return with the title and large military rits, backed by his old subordinates, our Great Xia Empire might face turmoil."
Xu Lingjun’s expression turned peculiar, "So..."
"So how do you think Zhou Mu got his 150 extra points? Such an exaggerated score gain, don’t you find it obvious? In fact, he was brought forth to intercept Han Yun City. The intention was for Zhou Mu to take the first place, but he failed, and you erged from nowhere to help us achieve the goal."
Liu Zhiyuan laughed, "Now with His Majesty aged, he should have decided on an heir long ago. His hesitation is watching Han Yun City’s performance... After all, of the current heirs, only the Eldest Princess is competent, but naturally, it is better for a male to inherit. Sadly, Han Yun City’s performance is not bad, but he was outshone by you, even with 200 added points, he couldn’t surpass you, he has beco a joke."
After laughing for a while, his face regained seriousness.
Seriously, "But for others, this is good news, for you, it’s very problematic. Don’t forget, he grew up in the most dangerous part of the cosmos, and he’s two years older than you, having gained a lot of advantages... Our Four Great Martial Mansions have martial arts exchange and academic exchange every year, by then, he won’t let it go easily."
"So am I just sitting at ho, and trouble falls from the sky?"
Xu Lingjun said helplessly, "Am I now involved in royal power struggles?"
"Of course not, royal power needs no struggle, the capable rise, that’s all there is to it. Just that Han Yun City’s unique status ans he must not inherit the throne, not even the slimst chance can be given."
Liu Zhiyuan smiled, "Although Han Yun City is a prince, after all, he’s just a bearer of a convict’s title. Being able to join the Martial Mansion for advanced study is the result of the hard work of the forces behind him. Trying to do more is absolutely impossible... With your strength, you may not be his match now, but I believe in you, with your defense power, wear the war armor, and I doubt he can still kill you?"
Xu Lingjun asked, "What realm is he in now?"
"Huichuan Realm, at least Huichuan Middle Realm, but I estimate he might even be in the Late Stage Hui Chuan!"
Liu Zhiyuan said, "Primarily, his strength cos from slashing his way through swords and knives on the battlefield. So with 100% strength, he can exert 150% combat power. Currently, the gap between you and him is still great."
Alright, his starting point is higher than the endpoint of the small goal I set for myself.
Xu Lingjun looked at the Martial Skill in his hand, reached out and took it, saying, "I will train diligently."
With that said,
as his hand touched the "Ninefold Thunder Tribulation," he lowered his head and saw the dense tiny words above.
Prompts appeared in front of him.
[Detected Upper Supre Technique ’Ninefold Thunder Tribulation,’ is it to be given its genuine origin? 700 Source Value points required!]
So little Source Value needed?!
Xu Lingjun imdiately understood, probably because this Ultimate Level Martial Skill has been refined to near perfection by countless predecessors in the Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion, so the upper limit of Source assignnt is not large.
But still need another 700 Source Value points...
It seems this Martial Skill has room for evolution.
Or rather, its flaws have the potential to be redied.
And that is exactly why Xu Lingjun chose this Martial Skill.
A Martial Skill with very obvious strengths and weaknesses, if I use Talent Source to compensate for its weaknesses, or turn its weaknesses into strengths, wouldn’t it beco a Martial Skill with very obvious advantages and advantages?
By then, only the advantages will remain.
As for weapons...
Never mind the Sword of Oath and Victory that hasn’t been successfully endowed with Source.
Even without the Sword of Oath and Victory, do I need a weapon?
Xu Lingjun glanced at his left and right hands, thinking to himself that I can bear my bursts and washes with my hands, it doesn’t matter if I use anything else or not.
At most, if needed I can go to Sister Yaya, let her help manage the pressure of release...
Just ask her to find a way to forge a more durable weapon.
Today is different from the past, once Xu Lingjun had so small pride, embarrassed to ask Wang Qingya for excessive requests.
But now, with him becoming the Dragon Gate Champion Scholar, one day when Wang Tiancheng was very drunk, he patted his shoulder with great satisfaction and said laughingly, that previously he was just a wealthy man, those associations, principals, or directors all looked at him like he was dumb but rich, a moving wallet ready to be tapped anyti.
But now...
There’s an addition of a Dragon Gate Champion Scholar son-in-law.
His confidence is bolstered, even the City Lord of Fangyi City greets him warmly, saying co here bro, you’re visiting this club too, nice choice...
Treatnt he never could’ve received in the past.
Back then Xu Lingjun made a bet with Wang Qingya, if he made achievents in Martial Tao, the Wang Family would fully support him, although the way of support differed from his expectations, Father Wang’s toy production line was indeed a trendous help...
They’ve long been tied together, sharing joy and sorrow.
Asking her for help is very normal.
Thinking about this, Xu Lingjun held the Secret Manual, bade farewell to Liu Zhiyuan, and left the Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion.
Outside.
Gu Xi had been waiting for quite so ti.
She asked with concern, "How is it, have you chosen?"
"I have."
Xu Lingjun replied absentmindedly.
Gu Xi didn’t mind, Ultimate Level Martial Skill, even if she obtained it, she’d probably be eager to go back and delve deeply into training it... So, from this perspective, him engaging at all is already very considerate.
"Let’s go, I’ll take you ho, focus on studying hard... Martial Skill is quite related to cultivation techniques, progress in Martial Skill greatly benefits cultivation as well, as they are complentary to each other. Go back and ponder thoroughly, if you have any questions, you can ask , although I haven’t trained Ultimate Level Martial Skills, I can still give you so basic pointers."
"Alright, thank you."
Xu Lingjun nodded.
The two then parted ways.
