From a beggar on South Street to the supreme devil

Chapter 149: City Captain
Day two.

Jinpeng Wing Hall.

More than one hundred candidates participating in the second round of the Doukui competition have gathered at the Jinpeng Wing Hall's martial arts arena, waiting for the announcement of the examination results.

Many people secretly looked at Jiang Chen with different expressions.

Most of them were from aristocratic families and were well-informed, so naturally they all learned that Zhu Guanyu and the other two had not returned.

At this time, Feng Yanghua walked out of the exquisite pavilion in front of the martial arts arena and glanced at everyone present.

The blue-clothed attendant beside him took out a list and posted it next to the exquisite pavilion.

With the eyesight of everyone present, they could naturally easily see the names recorded on the list.

At the top, the first place was written with two big, vigorous and powerful characters - "Jiang Chen".

The first in Jinpengwei City’s Doukuin is Jiang Chen!
"It sure is him!"

"So, Zhu Guanyu and the other three..."

"I'm afraid so. Is this guy really not afraid of death? If he offends a noble family, even if he enters the Dragon Elephant Sect, he will probably..."

"Haha, the chief examiner summoned Jiang Chen last time. He doesn't have the confidence to go against the noble family?"

……

Amidst a flurry of whispers, other candidates for the Doukui exam also began to check their scores.

Some are happy, while others are sad.

Out of the 150 people, 50 were screened out.

They may not necessarily lack strength, but may lack the means to conceal their presence and hide themselves and take spiritual medicine.

But these are the rules of the Dragon Elephant Sect, and everyone must abide by them.

When Feng Ruxin looked at the list and saw that she was exactly ranked 30th, she immediately felt relieved.

Then, Feng Yanghua said, "Those who are less than 100 will leave on their own. The rest will wait for a while and then follow me to the main city to register."

"Yes."

Everyone present bowed and said in unison.

……

A moment later, the remaining one hundred Doukui candidates boarded the carriages that had been prepared long ago, drove out of Jinpeng Wing Hall, and headed towards the main city.

After about two hours, they traveled hundreds of miles and arrived at the city of Longxiang County.

The towering city walls reach into the sky, the city gates are like mountains, and the pedestrians are like ants, which is quite spectacular.

The soldiers defending the city all had a strong aura, especially those stationed at the city gates. They were all wearing heavy armor that covered their entire bodies, and the armor reflected a cold phosphorescent light.

They stood in two rows on both sides of the city gate, motionless, with an icy and oppressive aura, frightening the passers-by along the way into silence.

In the luxurious carriage at the front, Jiang Chen and Feng Yanghua were inside the carriage together.

He looked at the scene outside the curtains and at the city gates on both sides with some surprise.

Is the garrison in the main city so strict?
Feng Yanghua glanced at him and explained calmly, "Ten days ago, a demon disguised himself as a county town citizen and entered the main city to eat people. Therefore, the city has been heavily guarded recently."

Human demon?

Jiang Chen was slightly stunned.

Then he thought of the green demon he saw before coming to Longxiang County.

"Recently, there are more and more human demons. There is a demon organization that uses some special method to transform warriors into human demons. You need to be more careful when you serve as a city guard in the future."

Jiang Chen nodded: "Understood."

It seems that the threat of this "human demon" has spread throughout the entire Longxiang County.

……

The carriage entered the main city.

The main city avenue is about several dozen feet wide, and the crisscrossing streets and alleys are all paved with white stone slabs. The houses on both sides are neatly arranged and staggered.

The deeper one goes into the city, the taller the buildings are, some thirty to five meters high, some ten meters high, decorated with lights and colors, with carvings of dragons and paintings of phoenixes, and some are luxurious and extravagant, some are exquisite and elegant.

The Recorder's Hall

A black plaque hangs in front of the main entrance of a very large courtyard.

This is where new disciples are registered.

The entire main city is not only the residence of countless people, but also the headquarters of the Dragon Elephant Gate.

The important departments of the Dragon Elephant Sect, such as the "Registrar's Hall", "Law Enforcement Hall", "Dan Pavilion", etc., are all established in various places in the main city.

The various government offices that control the main city are also intertwined in it, and all of them are staffed and controlled by the disciples of the Dragon Elephant Sect.

In essence, the entire Longxiang County City is equivalent to a huge and complex sect organization with a very clear class order.

The countless people living in the city are like screws in this complex mechanism.
Play a role in all walks of life and provide various resources and services to the top disciples of the Dragon Elephant Sect.

……

The carriage stopped in front of the recorder's office, and a hundred people entered the recorder's office together, and it did not seem crowded at all.

There were already quite a few people in the spacious and empty inner hall of the Records Hall.

These are the candidates for the Doukui competition selected from other Acropolises, as well as the winners selected from the main city.

Compared with the Acropolis, the difficulty of fighting in the main city is obviously much higher.

All of them had reached the level of perfect internal organs forging. Jiang Chen even saw quite a few warriors at the level of organ refining among the candidates from the main city.

These internal organ refining warriors who come from aristocratic families are naturally not as simple as ordinary internal organ refining warriors.

The reason why Zhu Guanyu and other children of noble families retreated to Jinpengwei City to participate in the Doukui was because they were not sure they could pass the selection in the main city.

Jiang Chen felt a little emotional when he saw this.

I can only say that it’s a good thing that I chose the “special recruitment program for poverty-stricken areas”.

Otherwise, with his current strength, he might not be able to compete with the top ten among these geniuses in internal refining from the main city families.

……

The deacon from the registrar's hall came out quickly and began to register the names of all the candidates who had passed the Doukui exam.

Naturally, candidates from the main city were given priority. After the candidates from the main city finished, it was the turn of the candidates from the Acropolis. About two hours later, the registration was over.

Afterwards, Feng Yanghua led the top 30 Jinpengwei City candidates to the Kung Fu Pavilion.

"Everyone else go in and choose your own technique. Jiang Chen, come with me."

When the others heard this, they looked at Jiang Chen with envy.

Jiang Chen was slightly stunned, then left the team and followed Feng Yanghua to a side hall.

"You don't need to choose a technique. The first level of Hua Jin technique is not bad, but it is not suitable for you."

Feng Yanghua asked, "You are practicing the Dorsal Dragon Power, right?"

Jiang Chen nodded.

He knew that "Zhelong Jin" was a hidden power technique that was passed down from the Longxiang Sect to the Longhu Sect.

Feng Yanghua nodded: "That's right."

Then he called a steward from the side hall and said, "Go and help me bring out the Scarlet Sky Force."

The deacon bowed respectfully and said, "Yes."

He then turned and left, and returned a moment later with a jade slip of inheritance in his hand.

The martial arts techniques passed down in the Dragon Elephant Sect are all passed down using jade slips to prevent leakage.

Feng Yanghua handed the "Chixiao Jin" to Jiang Chen.

"A dormant dragon lurks, rising straight up into the red sky. This is the follow-up to the dormant dragon's power, and it is also the most superior method that suits you best. Keep it well."

Jiang Chen nodded and took the jade slip.

If he were to choose by himself, I'm afraid he really wouldn't know which Hua Jin technique to choose, and he would probably just pick one at random.

Now that I have Feng Yanghua to help me choose, it is naturally much better than choosing blindly on my own.

"Except for you, the other top ten candidates in Jinpengwei City are all from aristocratic families. They have obtained the position of city lieutenant and have their own connections to take charge of the local areas."

"But you are different, so I am here to help you find a job."

The city commander can control the affairs of one of the places in Jinpengwei City. Since each place is located in a different place, the resources and oil will naturally vary.

Children of aristocratic families have their own ways of doing things, but Jiang Chen does not.

Especially now that he has offended the Zhu family, it would be uncomfortable if he were arranged to work within the Zhu family's sphere of influence.

Jiang Chen also understood in his heart, and immediately bowed and thanked him: "Thank you, Senior Brother Feng."

Feng Yanghua waved his hand: "It's okay, it will take some time for the others to choose their skills, you come with me to meet someone first."

"Yes."

Then the two of them walked forward together, left the Kung Fu Pavilion, and came to a restaurant.

……

The third floor wing room.

Feng Yanghua was the first to push the door open and walked in, smiling at the people inside and saying, "Have you been waiting for a long time?"

"Feng Zhen Chuan, I just arrived a while ago."

In the side room, a sturdy man with a broad back and strong body stood up and said with a hint of respect.

Feng Yanghua turned and looked at Jiang Chen.

"Jiang Chen, let me introduce you. This is the general guarding Jinpeng City, Zhuo Jin. He has been operating in Jinpeng City for many years, and his followers are as powerful as the Zhu family."

"I will return to the main city after I have dealt with the Dou Kui affairs. I will not be able to look after you in Jinpengwei City. You will follow Master Zhuo."

Jiang Chen understood immediately.

This was to prevent the Zhu family from taking action against him, and Feng Yanghua helped him find a backer.

He sighed in his heart.

Good man...

Jiang Chen nodded and said, "I understand."

Then he turned his head and looked at the city guard officer, bowed and said, "Greetings, Lord Zhuo."

Zhuo Jin politely stepped forward and lifted Jiang Chen up, "No need to be polite, we are all fellow disciples."

Seeing this, Feng Yanghua knew that Zhuo Jin would make proper arrangements, so he did not stay long.

"You guys chat first. Jiang Chen, remember to go back to the Recording Hall this afternoon."

"Yes."

……

Feng Yanghua left.

The room became a little quieter, and Zhuo Jin's expression was obviously much more relaxed.

He chuckled and said, "Little Brother Jiang is lucky to be noticed by Master Feng Zhen. Master Feng Zhen has always been generous to his own people. You don't need to worry too much in the future."

"Thank you for your advice, sir."

Zhuo Jin thought for a moment and said, "As for your posting place, I have two places here. Please listen to them first and see what you think."

Jiang Chen said: "I am all ears."

"The first place is on the east side of the Acropolis, next to where the Acropolis troops are stationed. It's called Jinyangfang."

"The advantage of this place is that it is stable and safe. There is no need to worry about demons and bad guys. The disadvantage is that there are fewer resources."

Jiang Chen blinked his eyes and asked, "What can I do without resources?"

Zhuo Jin continued, "The second place is in the northeast of Jinpeng City, close to the wasteland and the Demon Abyss. It is called Yunjiangfang. There is a Yunjiang River passing through this place. Many businesses in the city have to pass through this place, so there are naturally a lot of benefits."

"But... this place is close to the Demonic Abyss, and there is a danger of demons lurking. Moreover, due to the huge profits and convenient travel, it is a mixed crowd, and there are many evil criminals hiding here, so it is quite dangerous..."

After saying that, he turned to look at Jiang Chen and asked with a smile:

"Which one are you going to choose?"
