Mortals get a golden finger for immortal cultivation every year

Chapter 300: Sister Zhao Shuang, come to my palace tonight

When Zhao Shuang captured all three "disciples" carefully cultivated by the Queen, he returned to Yu Shu Palace and Zhang Ruoji also delivered the promised king-level skills.

"This king-level technique is not complete, but it should be enough for Starling."

These were Zhang Ruoji's exact words. Zhao Shuang did not refuse, nor did he say anything more.

Afterwards, Zhao Shuang began to study this king-level technique, and gained a relatively systematic understanding of the techniques of the Kunlun Realm. By the way, he completed the technique and made it more perfect according to his own understanding of the corresponding Dao.

After completing and perfecting his skills, Zhao Shuang left the palace and went to Qin Ya's Qingxuan Pavilion.

"This is the king-level technique you want. With this king-level technique, you will be able to break through the Fish Dragon Realm and advance to the Semi-Saint realm."

Zhao Shuang directly handed the completed king-level skills to Qin Ya, who had been waiting for a long time and was full of surprise and excitement.

"Thank you, Saint. I am deeply grateful."

Anyone who can use this king-level technique is at least a saint, so Qin Ya's title changed very quickly.

"Okay, it's your turn to fulfill your promise."

Seeing this, Zhao Shuang didn't say anything polite and spoke directly.

After hearing what Zhao Shuang said, Qin Ya naturally knew what it meant and what to do, and then she withdrew everything.

Soon, a fierce battle broke out in various places in the room.

……

After half a day, Zhao Shuang, feeling satisfied, finally left Qingxuan Pavilion, while Qin Ya, exhausted both physically and mentally, lay down on her soft bed to rest.

After obtaining the enchanting and beautiful Qin Ya, Zhao Shuang returned to the palace.

Compared to other places, the palace is more suitable for him, the Queen, her three beautiful disciples, many palace maids, and Concubine Lin.

In addition, he could teach Zhang Ruoji a lesson in the name of guidance from time to time, which made him feel extremely comfortable and relaxed.

Just like that, in the blink of an eye, it was time for the year-end assessment.

Zhao Shuang would naturally not miss this year-end assessment. After being served by Concubine Lin and dressed up as a prince, he went to Wangshan with Zhang Ruoji.

The royal martial arts arena was built at the foot of Wangshan Mountain.

The year-end assessment is a royal event second only to the sacrificial ceremony. Even the Prince of Yunwu stopped his retreat and personally participated in the year-end assessment.

Prince Yunwu was occupying the highest position in the martial arts arena. He was about forty years old, with two neat mustaches, and exuded an aura of majesty without even being angry.

The first thing he did when he arrived was to ask whether the seventh prince Zhang Tiangui had come.

There has long been an explanation for this Queen.

"Gui'er, he didn't come because he had more important things to deal with. Besides, this year-end assessment is no longer important to him."

"That's true."

Upon hearing this, Prince Yunwu agreed deeply and said,

"Another good thing is that His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince has already activated the Divine Martial Seal."

"Oh! Really! Jiuer, come up."

Upon hearing this news, Prince Yunwu was extremely happy.

In response to this, Zhang Ruoji stepped forward and staged a big drama, but this time, he did not mention in advance that Zhao Shuang, under the order of the Queen, drove them mother and son out of Yushu Palace, which also made Zhao Shuang take a second look.

At the end of the year, all prestigious families, officials, and generals came, as well as their descendants, and it was not just the Yunwu County Prince's family.

After the interlude, it is the formal assessment stage, which is divided into literary and martial arts examinations.

The literary exam is unimportant and no one takes it seriously. What matters is the military exam.

The first stage of the martial arts exam is a test of strength, and the first one to go on stage is the young princess Zhang Yulin, who is only six years old, one meter tall, and has a delicate and lovely appearance.

Although she awakened the Divine Mark at the age of four, she was too young now and could only lift the first 100-jin millstone. She was unable to lift the second one, but it still attracted cheers.

Zhao Shuang was not very interested in this kind of assessment. What she valued more were the two beauties in the assessment.

Both of them are one of the four beauties in the royal city. The first one is Zhang Yuxi, the lord of the Ninth County, and the second one is Lin Ningshan, the young lady of the Lin family. Both girls have a close relationship with Zhang Ruoji.

Zhao Shuang naturally would not let it go.

Lin Ningshan from the Lin family was about fourteen or fifteen years old, with a petite figure, dark eyebrows like willow leaves, eyes as bright as stars, and skin as white as jade. She was a real beauty.

Zhang Yuxi, the Lord of the Ninth Counties, was wearing a royal sparrow robe. She looked elegant and graceful, with a beautiful face, which was also eye-catching.

"Eighth Prince Zhang Ji!"

Just when Zhao Shuang was thinking about when to capture the two of the four beauties of the royal city, it was already his turn.

There was a mistake in the order of appearance compared to what he remembered, but it was no big deal.

Zhao Shuang went straight to the last millstone.

When he heard the tenth and final millstone, many people were shocked.

"Hachioji, he's about to lift the tenth millstone. When did he become so powerful?"

"Yes, yes!"

"It's not to show off!"

"It's possible. He seems to be in the late Yellow Realm, right?"

"Who knows, maybe he's made some progress during this period, which has given him a little more confidence."

The only few who were not shocked were the Queen, Concubine Xiao, and Concubine Lin. The three of them had all seen Zhao Shuang's power and strength, and they had already "recognized him as their master" or "converted" him. How could they possibly doubt Zhao Shuang's strength?

……

So, just as others were talking, Zhao Shuang stomped his foot.

Suddenly, the millstone in front of the foot was directly knocked up by the powerful force of the foot, jumped up, and landed above Zhao Shuang's head. Then, Zhao Shuang caught it steadily in his hand and threw it forward.

"boom!"

In the blink of an eye, it fell a hundred feet away and hit the ground hard, leaving a large pit.

"Good! Ba'er has made such great progress, not bad. Hahaha?"

Seeing this scene, the first person to react was naturally the most powerful Prince Yunwu, who couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"It turns out that His Highness Hachioji has already broken through the Xuanji Realm."

"What? He has already broken through the Xuanji realm."

"Yes, only the Xuanji Realm can be so powerful. It's really amazing."

"His Highness the Eighth Prince is making rapid progress!"
……

There is no doubt that Zhao Shuang became the brightest one!
"Ba'er, you've broken through the Xuanji realm. What reward do you want?"

Prince Yunwu laughed loudly in a good mood.

"Let's wait until the assessment is over!"

Hearing this, Zhao Shuang shook his head and replied.

"Okay, then it's as you said."

Prince Yunwu nodded and agreed.

Next, it was Zhang Ruoji's turn. His performance was also outstanding, making people envy Prince Yunwu's good luck.

Having the seventh prince Zhang Tiangui is not enough, there is also the eighth prince Zhang Ji and the ninth prince Zhang Ruoji. It is really enviable and jealous!

With the wonderful performances of Zhao Shuang and Zhang Ruoji, the rest of the people, except for Miss Lin Lin Ningshan of the Lin family who performed well, were not very outstanding.

Therefore, the first place in this first round of assessment was undoubtedly Zhao Shuang, the ostensible Eighth Prince Zhang Ji. After the first round ended, the second round began.

King Mountain Hunting.

Only the warrior who lifts the tenth stone plate is qualified.

And only about forty people have achieved this.

"

Afterwards, the palace guards moved forty-three strong antelopes to the martial arts field. Each antelope looked like a baby elephant, with a sharp horn and covered in silver armor.

Hanging on the antelope's back was a one-and-a-half-meter-long iron wire bow and five thunder arrows.

At this time, the national teacher appeared and announced the rules.

It's very simple. Whoever kills more wild beasts will be the first. However, if you want to hunt wild beasts, ordinary bows and arrows will not work. You must use special thunder arrows.
"Except for His Highness the Eighth Prince, the rest of you can only use Thunder Arrows to break through the beast's hide and kill it."

"But you only have five arrows."

"King Mountain is full of dangers and may even cost you your life. If you encounter a second-level beast, run away immediately!"

After finishing speaking, the Imperial Master announced the start.

If the national teacher was not still of some use, Zhao Shuang would never have let him live any longer.

"Your Highness, Eighth Prince, how about we compete to see who can kill the most wild beasts?"

Miss Lin Ningshan of the Lin family declared war on Zhao Shuang.

"Not interested in."

Hearing this, Zhao Shuang shook his head. He was only interested in Miss Lin Ningshan from the Lin family. He had no interest in anything else.

"In that case, forget it."

"Cousin, how about we have a competition? The strength test just now was just my weakness. Now is the time to truly demonstrate my strength. I hope you are not too far behind me. Go!"

"Snapped!"

After she finished speaking, as if she was worried that Zhang Ruoji would not agree, the young lady of the Lin family, Lin Ningshan, swung a whip on the antelope's butt. The antelope immediately opened its iron hooves, galloped away, and rushed into Wangshan.

There was no chance for Zhang Ruoji to refuse.
-
Seeing this, Zhao Shuang gave Zhang Ruoji a look that said "May the best for you", then rode his antelope horse towards Wangshan.

Wangshan is the hunting ground of the royal family of Yunwu Commandery. The mountain is extremely high and is dotted with waterfalls, cliffs, deep valleys and dense forests.

Almost all the wild beasts in the mountains are first-level wild beasts, with only a few second-level wild beasts.

Just over forty people entered Wangshan, just like a handful of sand thrown into the sea. Not long after, everyone disappeared into the jungle.

For Zhao Shuang, the mere wild beasts had no interest at all, so he seemed very indifferent, but in fact, he was aware of all the movements within a radius of a hundred miles.

Therefore, Zhao Shuang hunted down five wild beasts at the fastest speed, including four second-level wild beasts and one first-level peak wild beast.

There is no doubt that he must be the champion of this year-end assessment, and no one else can compare to him.

Therefore, after hunting down five second-level beasts, Zhao Shuang began to wander around Wangshan, looking for the traces of Zhang Yuxi, the Lord of the Nine Counties, and Lin Ningshan, Miss of the Lin family. This was also an easy task for him.

……

"Four second-level wild beasts and one first-level wild beast. His Highness the Eighth Prince is indeed a Xuanji Realm warrior. He is indeed powerful."

The palace guards who were in charge of collecting and hunting wild beasts sighed.

……

"Your Highness the Eighth Prince, you have used up all your Thunder Arrows. Could it be that you have already hunted down all five wild beasts?" Miss Lin Ningshan of the Lin family said in surprise when she saw Zhao Shuangling's empty quiver.

"Yes, the hunt is complete. I wonder if Miss Lin needs my help."

Zhao Shuang chuckled and said sincerely.

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness Hachioji, but this is not necessary. I still want to rely on my own strength."

Hearing this, Miss Lin Ningshan of the Lin family shook her head slightly, refused, and then rode away on her antelope horse.

Seeing this, Zhao Shuang continued to smile and did not force anything. He continued to look for Zhang Yuxi, the Lord of the Nine Counties.

……

"Ninth sister, I'll lend you my antelope horse. It just so happens that I've completed my mission."

Zhao Shuang looked at Zhang Yuxi who had lost her antelope horse. In order to avoid staying on the same antelope horse with Zhang Ruoji, Zhao Shuang was very generous.

"Okay, then thank you, Brother Eight. I didn't expect Brother Eight to complete the task so quickly. He is indeed a master of the Xuanji Realm, no less capable than Brother Seven was back then."

Zhang Yuxi, the Lord of the Ninth County, smiled sweetly and said.

"It's okay, you guys continue and I'm going back."

Zhao Shuang shook his head and said.

Now he has no intention of taking action against the Ninth County Lord Zhang Yuxi and Miss Lin Ningshan of the Lin family. It would be more interesting to take it slow.

……

After the second assessment, Zhao Shuang's four second-level beasts and one first-level beast undoubtedly took first place. The second place was naturally Zhang Ruoji.

This made Miss Lin Ningshan of the Lin family feel quite regretful.

The third assessment is a duel, but those who make it into the top ten will directly enter the finals.

The first game of this final is

"Finals, first match. Zhang Yuxi from the Ninth Commandery versus Lin Ningshan from the Lin Family."

A general in silver-scale armor announced.

Then, Zhang Yuxi, the Lord of the Ninth County, walked into the training ground first, holding a green Zhenwu treasure-level sword in her hand. She had a slim figure and elegant temperament. She stood in the center of the training ground, as beautiful as a painting.

Then, Lin Ningshan from the Lin family also walked into the training ground.

However, although the difference between the two realms is not big, the difference in sword intent is quite big.

The Ninth Commandery Lord Zhang Yuxi merely responded to each move, but Miss Lin Ningshan of the Lin family was already following her heart with her sword.

Therefore, the outcome of this battle has been decided, and Zhang Yuxi, the Lord of the Nine Counties, has undoubtedly lost.

"Why, Eighth Brother, Ninth Brother!"

After the defeat of Zhang Yuxi, the governor of Jiujun, his face was full of reluctance.

"The difference between your realms is not that big, but your sword intent is a level lower. It's only natural that you lost. Your sword talent is not as good as hers. If you want to defeat her, you can only improve your realm. But your cultivation talent is not stronger than hers either, and it may even be a few points lower. In this case, if you can still win, it only means that she is deliberately letting you win."

Zhao Shuang's voice was flat, and every word he said was a blow to Zhang Yuxi, the Lord of the Nine Counties.

"Am I so much worse than her that there is no way I can do anything?"

After hearing what Zhao Shuang said, Zhang Yuxi, the Lord of the Nine Counties, said with reluctance.

"Not really. Didn't I already say that unless I surpass her in realm, there's no chance of winning."

Zhao Shuang continued.

"But didn't you also say that my cultivation talent is not as good as hers?"

The Ninth Commandery Lord Zhang Yuxi said with an ugly expression.

"So, we must start with the technique. Come to Yushu Palace tonight and I will teach you a technique."

Zhao Shuang said calmly, knowing that the opportunity had come.
