Evergreen Immortal..

Chapter 278: Part A?

"This is Lord Li from the An Ning Guard?"

"Why is he participating?"

Many people in Qinghe knew Li Rui. When they saw Li Rui walking out of the crowd, they were stunned for a moment.

In their view.

Li Rui is already a high-ranking official, so there is no need for him to get involved.

In fact, there were not many officials involved.

Han Zhen, who was standing by, saw Li Rui coming on the court and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

'It's a sure thing.'

It's not just that he recognized Li Rui's ability, but as early as in Yunzhou, General Xue had already mentioned Li Rui to Governor Yuan. Not only General Xue, but it was said that Jiang Linxian even asked the young Supervisor Gu to say hello to him.

The relationship is full.

Therefore, as long as Li Rui can get an A-grade grade, it is almost certain that he will become a retainer of the Marquis' Mansion.

As for why to do so.

Of course it’s to create momentum.

Getting promoted is not an easy thing. After reaching the fifth rank, one’s background becomes very important.

Li Rui is a peasant, and the fifth rank is his limit.

If you want to go further, it won't be easy even if Xue Gui wants to help.

If you don't have a good background, you must have a good reputation.

Li Rui used to be a groom.

This is almost a fatal stain for an official, and he must find a way to erase it. Otherwise, when he climbs to a high position in the future, his political opponents will definitely use it to make trouble.

Just like the great military saint general a thousand years ago, who was born a slave and a groom, how could he become a general?

Besides being stunning in herself, she also has a sister who is the queen.

The younger brother relied on his sister's status to wash away the stain.

Anyone who dares to make a fuss about this will be accused of marrying a woman of low status as his queen.

So it's the same for Li Rui, he needs to find a way to take advantage of the situation.

The Queen's sister is no longer a possibility, but the Marquis's retainer is also a good choice.

You used to be a stable boy, right?

Then I will go to be a retainer in Marquis Yuan's mansion. After all, retainers are the same as grooms and they all serve the mansion. But who in the world dares to say that the retainers in Marquis Yuan's mansion are bad?

It is to use Lord Yuan's name to shut up the people of the world.

This is exactly what Xue Gui and Jiang Linxian had in mind.

It is often said that it is easier to get things done if you have someone above you. This does not just mean that you can get promoted, but that your disadvantages can be eliminated and your advantages can be magnified, so that your career path will be smooth.

If you don't have the guidance of an expert and your political enemies find something to hold against you, the higher you climb, the harder you will fall.

Li Rui walked to the silver spear with a calm expression.

Han Zhen had already told him about the matter.

Just as Xue Gui and Jiang Linxian had planned, if he wanted to continue to be promoted, he had to erase the stain of his background as a groom.

He is now a fifth-rank junior grandmaster, and it would be foolish to continue hiding it.

It is still necessary to reveal what needs to be revealed appropriately.

Moreover, he doesn't need to be above A, as long as he can get an A grade.

This is not something out of the ordinary for him now.

at this time.

Cao Wei said beside Yuan Dingting: "My Lord, this is Li Rui, the Simao Captain of Anning Guard."

I heard the name Li Rui.

Only then did Yuan Dingting become interested.

There was no other reason. It was just that young Master Gu who had been whispering in his ear for several days using the method of sound transmission.

It’s hard not to remember.

"Let me see how it is."

Even if Gu Changsheng had made the suggestion, Yuan Dingting would have decisively refused if Li Rui didn't live up to his expectations.

"With Lord Li's divine power, he must be at least a top-ranked one."

"Of course. What kind of person is Lord Li? Do you still need to doubt him?"

The people of Qinghe whispered to each other and had great trust in Li Rui.

Who can blame Li Rui for having become so famous in Qinghe since the monsters attacked the city? In the eyes of the people of Qinghe, Li Rui is the Martial Saint of Qinghe. No one would question the quality of such a ruthless man who could kill two fifth-grade warriors, chase them for thousands of miles and bring back the head of Ling Luo.

"This person seems to be very famous in Qinghe?"

Yang Heng said this as he looked at the excited Qinghe people with bare faces at the dock.

“It should be because they are locals.”

The woman Yan Qin said calmly.

"Master Li is going to pull it out!"

A loud shout drew everyone's attention to Li Rui.

Zheng!
There was a sharp sound of a gunshot, and the moment Li Rui grasped the gun, a sharp murderous intent suddenly swept through his body, chilling him to the bone.

'No wonder.'

Li Rui then understood what Ning Zhongtian meant by the earthly immortal. Those with weak wills would be shaken off their hands in an instant.

Not to mention drawing a gun.

to him.

Of course it didn't work, his eyes narrowed.

Use both hands.

In an instant, the immortal energy dispelled the cold feeling, and the gun barrel was pulled out a little.

"Wait C."

Looking at the gun barrel that was exposed one inch, Ning Zhongtian's mouth corners slightly raised.

Grade C was nothing to his elder brother. The main thing was that Li Rui seemed to have pulled out an inch without even exerting any strength, and that was what satisfied him.

Ning Zhongtian has already left the dock.

Ge Hong, Wei Ming, Tan Hu and others stood beside him.

Several people were discussing.

"What rank do you think Big Brother will get?"

Tan Hu spoke in a muffled voice.

Wei Ming stared at the scene on the dock intently, saying, "At least it's first-class."

Ge Hong: "Do you think it's possible that it's A-level?"

This time.

The four of them were silent. Although they had full faith in Li Rui in their hearts, many people had tried to attack Jiashang along the way when Lord Yuan came, but they all failed without exception, and some of them were even innate warriors.

No matter how confident they are in Li Rui, they don't think that Li Rui will definitely be able to defeat the innate warriors.

Not to mention those far away, the pretty boy just now was quite fierce, at least he was an A-level guy.

Grade A is already very impressive.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Suddenly, someone exclaimed, "B is waiting!"

It was seen that the gun barrel held by Li Rui had been pulled out of the ground a full foot, and he did not seem to show any signs of fatigue.

All in one go.

The dragon power of the dragon elephant true energy was unleashed in the blink of an eye.

The gun barrel was pulled to a height of three feet.

The crowd exploded.

We have always seen people from other counties showing off their power, and now it is the turn of Qinghe’s own people to become famous. Li Rui is a real Qinghe native.

Excited.

Everyone in Qinghe feels proud of me.

Not only the people from Qinghe, but even those who came from Yunzhou felt encouraged and straightened their backs a lot.

Who said Yunzhou has no top grade?

Look at our Lord Li, with his sword drawn and his horse ready.

"Look, look, am I right?"

Wei Ming pointed at Li Rui with a look on his face that said, "I knew it would be like this."

Ning Zhongtian and the others also had the same expression.

My eldest brother should be like this.

another side.

When Yang Heng and Yan Qin saw that Li Rui got an A, their faces changed.

Because they got A-grade results, they were able to enter the Marquis' Mansion.

Of course, it is surprising that a native of Qinghe can have such ability.

"It's impressive, but it's still a bit difficult to enter the Marquis' Mansion with A-grade results."

The first four places.

It’s not that no one got first grade, but they were still outdone by them.

Both he and Yan Qin achieved scores close to A, and just as everyone had guessed, Lord Yuan preferred younger warriors.

Otherwise, among so many innate warriors, why did they choose him and Yan Qin, the two Guanhai.

"He's indeed a bit old." Yan Qin pondered for a moment and nodded.

Among the three of them, the only one who is older is Wang Li next to him, and he is a civil servant. There is a difference between civil and military officials, so there is no need for Lord Yuan to accept another old man.

The two thought so.

Xu Chuan, standing on the dock, had a calm expression on his face.

There is a gap between Grade A and Grade A, which is even larger than that between Grade A and Grade C. Only those who have participated in it personally can know it.

But soon, his expression changed.

"It's pulled out. Lord Li has pulled it out again."

A man with a hoarse voice howled like a ghost on the dock.

I saw that Li Rui got an A grade, but he had no intention of stopping.

"I don't expect to be the best, but at least I have to be as good as others."

Li Rui thought so.

Everything has been revealed, so of course he has to gain something. Otherwise, it would be useless and that is not his style.

The sleeves fluttered even without wind.

“Start exerting your strength!”

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the silver spear in Li Rui's hand.

A-level?

One inch. Two inches
The silver spear was slowly pulled out in Li Rui's hand.

Just when it was about to reach the third inch——

boom!
It was as if there was a sound of thunder and lightning exploding in my ears, and endless shouts and screams, as if I was on a battlefield with tens of millions of people. The setting sun was blood-red, and all I could see before my eyes were mountains of corpses and seas of blood. It was as if I had fallen into an ice cave. It was cold, absolutely cold.

whimper
Li Rui's breathing became rapid.

He finally understood why no one could get an A or above grade.

It was only because after reaching the A-level, there was a hint of Yuan Dingting's murderous intent.

What kind of person is Yuan Dingting?

The military saint of Dayu became an immortal after hundreds of battles. If we only talk about murderous aura in the world, perhaps only the barbarian god of war can compare with him, not even the Lord of the East China Sea City can.

A hint of murderous intent is enough to suppress all the heroes in the world, and it ignores the realm and is the same for everyone.

No wonder those innate warriors couldn’t get an A-level score, because everyone was treated equally.

How can the killing intent of the Military Saint be underestimated?

In an instant.

The shadow of a giant dragon slowly emerged. A dragon over three meters long suddenly appeared on the dock. Its scales flashed with magical light like flowing water. It looked extraordinary and powerful, with its dragon head slightly raised.

boom!
Thunder exploded, lingering around the silver spear.

Flying dragon in the sky!

The dragon flapped its wings violently, raising a large amount of dust. For a moment, the dock was dim and it felt like dusk.

What a great weather!
"dragon."

"It's a big dragon!"

One after another, young voices were heard. The adults were so shocked that they were speechless. Only the innocent children thought they had seen the real dragon in the story and they giggled with excitement.

Be nice.

It really is a dragon!

The people of Qinghe were all stunned.

The dragon has a very high status in the hearts of the Yu people. It is a worship deep in Fa Zi's soul, and even a fear.

Lord Li is the reincarnation of a real dragon!

Some people even knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Li Rui.

"Yes, dragon form?!"

"There are actually such people in Qinghe?"

Yang Heng's expression finally changed. He knew of course that there were no real dragons in the world, and the strange phenomenon above the dock was the dragon-shaped true qi.

The dragon is the supreme of all monsters, and those who can condense into a dragon form are extraordinary even in the entire Yu Kingdom. Moreover, the dragon form is majestic, so each realm climbing is more difficult than that of ordinary warriors.

It is truly extraordinary that this Qinghe man in front of him could actually assume the form of a dragon and step into the sea-viewing realm at the same time.

With such qualifications, even in any major sect, he could be trained as the first disciple.

The only certainty may be that he is a bit old?
For the first time, he looked serious.

He stared at the silver spear Duanlang intently.

"Is it possible that he can really get the A-class?"

In a similar situation to Yang Heng was Xu Chuan, who was standing by the dock. Xu Chuan was also staring at the spear in Li Rui's hand with a serious face.

Four inches.

Five inches.

Watching the silver spear slowly moving upwards, his heart was already in his throat.

Without him.

Lord Yuan had only chosen one retainer in each place before. If the man from Qinghe surpassed him, this trip would be in vain.

Clench your fists.

Eight inches!

In an instant——

The silver spear emitted a brilliant light, and everyone on the dock raised their arms to shield their eyes.

Don’t look directly!

Just when the light reached its peak, it suddenly stopped.

'That's it? ? '

Everyone looked at the dock which had returned to peace with a confused look on their faces.

This is roughly equivalent to losing strength just before reaching climax, which is really uncomfortable.

Li Rui slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

so close.

Almost got the A award.

Just now, the immortal aura was drawn by the killing intent of the Sage of War, and he almost lost control and pulled out the silver spear.

A grade above A is enough, there is no need to really get an A+.

It's really enviable.

It is enough to show 70% of your ability when doing things.

call.
Yang Heng and Xu Chuan both breathed a sigh of relief.

Yang Heng laughed dryly: "See, I said, how could anyone get an A? It's impossible, absolutely impossible."

See Li Rui let go.

Only then did he feel relieved.

Although they are all retainers, they are also competitors. If Li Rui performs too well, how can he show himself in front of Lord Yuan and how can he become Lord Yuan's founding disciple?

Xu Chuan's tense nerves relaxed.

A smile appeared on his face again.

Fortunately it didn't work.

At this time, Cao Wei's voice was heard on the dock: "Li Rui, first-class."

As he spoke, he looked at Li Rui in surprise.

He was increasingly unable to understand this former subordinate of his.

after that.

The martial arts test became much more dull, and although a few A-grade students emerged, they seemed dull compared to the examples set by Li Rui and Xu Chuan.

Until dusk.

All contestants have finished the competition.

As per convention, the results of the military examination will be announced together with the written examination tomorrow.

The people on the dock smacked their lips, recalling what they had seen today.

The news that Lord Li raised a dragon would soon spread throughout the streets and alleys of Qinghe.

"Brother, it's a sure win!"

Ning Zhongtian and several others surrounded Li Rui and talked non-stop.

Li Rui's performance today was really impressive.

Except for the pretty boy from Guiyun Sect, everyone else is outshined by Li Rui, and the probability of them becoming a retainer of the Marquis' Mansion is very high.

'Be conservative, 90%.'

Li Rui didn't tell anyone for the time being, but in fact he had already made arrangements.

A group of people returned to his house.

They kept quarreling until dusk, and then left with a sense of unfulfilled desire.

"Finally quiet."

Li Rui rubbed his eyebrows.

Had dinner until the evening.

There was a knock on the courtyard door.

When he pushed the door open, he saw a majestic man standing in front of it.

"Li Rui, right?"
