Ming Dynasty: Pick up attributes from the battlefield to create the Ming Dynasty

but.

After entering the third round, the competition among these veterans became noticeably more intense.

among them.

Many of the matches were so closely contested that they were hard to determine a winner.

This captivated Zhu Wenxi, who was standing nearby, who watched intently.

"I didn't expect there to be a master at the fifth level of Body Refinement among these senior students. This is quite unexpected for me."

Zhu Wenxi was naturally deeply moved after seeing the level of these senior students.

In contrast.

Liu Lei, the dean of the Imperial Academy of the Ming Dynasty, who was standing to the side, was much calmer.

After all, Liu Lei had a good understanding of the strength of these senior students. He calmly said, "Your Highness, you are right. There are indeed quite a few experts at the fifth level of Body Refinement among the senior students."

"In fact, quite a few students have already reached the peak of the Body Refinement Realm."

"Look, this is him!"

Liu Lei took the initiative to introduce Zhu Wenxi.

Following Liu Lei's gaze, Zhu Wenxi indeed spotted a master at the peak of the Body Refinement Realm.

"This person's name is Wang Hui. Just yesterday, he successfully entered the peak of Body Refinement. His strength is quite formidable, and he consistently ranks among the top five in every competition!"

After Liu Lei finished speaking, Zhu Wenxi immediately turned his attention to Wang Hui.

It must be said that Wang Hui can indeed be called a genius.

In the third round, Wang Hui's opponent was no less formidable.

Even experts at the fifth level of Body Refinement.

At first, Wang Hui and his opponent were evenly matched, but as Wang Hui gradually unleashed his true strength, the situation changed dramatically in an instant.

Wang Hui primarily focuses on external cultivation.

He is quite physically strong.

Suddenly, Wang Hui mustered all his strength, seized the opportunity, and swiftly delivered a single-handed punch!
In the blink of an eye.

Wang Hui's fist slammed into his opponent's forehead!

Instantly.

The opponent completely lost consciousness...

Upon witnessing this scene, the academy's teachers immediately announced the result: Wang Hui successfully advanced, while his opponent was immediately given medical treatment.

Fortunately.

The teacher from the Imperial Academy of the Great Ming Dynasty intervened quite promptly, preventing any accidents from happening to the student.

"Uncle Liu, Wang Hui's strength is indeed quite good."

How old is he now?

Clearly, after witnessing Wang Hui's strength, Zhu Wenxi was filled with curiosity about him.

Liu Lei didn't dare to hesitate and hurriedly explained, "Your Highness, Wang Hui is only seventeen years old. He is a rare talent in the entire Ming Dynasty Imperial Academy."

"Many teachers in this academy believe that Wang Hui will be able to reach the peak of the Innate Realm in the future!"

When Zhu Wenxi heard Liu Lei's evaluation of the student, he nodded slightly and said, "Interesting. If this student can really reach the peak of the Innate Realm, I think Father will be very gratified."

That's all.

Zhu Wenxi then slowly walked onto the martial arts platform, preparing to personally communicate with Wang Hui.

The latter was naturally quite excited when he saw Zhu Wenxi come to him.

"Your Highness, I pay my respects!"

Wang Hui quickly bowed to Zhu Wenxi.

Zhu Wenxi nodded to Wang Lei and continued in a calm tone, "I watched your duel and it was indeed excellent. Liu Lei just told me that you are a rare talent in the entire Imperial Capital Academy."

"I hope you will cultivate diligently in the future, and perhaps you will have more opportunities."

Upon hearing Zhu Wenxi's words, Wang Lei was even more excited and quickly thanked Zhu Wenxi, saying, "This student thanks Your Highness!"

At this moment, Liu Lei, the dean of the Imperial Academy of the Great Ming Dynasty, came to Zhu Wenxi's side and said, "Your Highness, the selection of senior students has also ended."

Zhu Wenxi then addressed the five hundred students before the old man, saying, "Congratulations to all of you, you have successfully obtained the opportunity to go to the sacred land of martial arts for cultivation."

"I hope that each of you can cultivate diligently in this sacred martial arts land, strive to break through to a higher level of cultivation as soon as possible, and contribute your strength to the Great Ming Empire."

As soon as Zhu Wenxi finished speaking, all the senior students shouted in unison, "We obey! Your Highness, please rest assured, we will definitely cultivate diligently and serve the Ming Dynasty!"

Zhu Wenxi nodded, and then he said to the eliminated senior students, "Although you did not get the opportunity to cultivate in the martial arts holy land this time, do not be discouraged!"

"I believe that you will definitely have the opportunity to enter the Holy Land of Martial Arts in the future!"

after that.

Zhu Wenxi then said to Liu Lei, "Now that the spots for both freshmen and returning students have been selected, there's no need to waste any more time."

"Quickly send them to this sacred martial arts ground to cultivate."

Liu Lei quickly echoed, "Your subordinate obeys!"

Finally, Zhu Wenxi announced to everyone: "I hereby declare that the top 500 new students and the top 500 returning students will now have the opportunity to go to the Holy Land of Martial Arts for training!"

Done.

Zhu Wenxi suddenly whistled, and in an instant, a large number of pterosaurs appeared in the void.

Look around.

A total of more than 500 pterosaurs descended from the sky.

"Uncle Liu, there are more than 500 pterosaurs here. You can make arrangements to get these students to this martial arts holy land for training as soon as possible."

As soon as Zhu Wenxi finished speaking, Liu Lei immediately replied, "Your Highness, please rest assured, I will make the arrangements immediately!"

Not long after.

Under the arrangement of Liu Lei, the dean of the Imperial Academy of the Ming Dynasty, these thousand students also rode pterosaurs and successfully arrived at this sacred place of martial arts to cultivate.

As for the veteran students, they had actually cultivated in this martial arts holy land before, so when they arrived at this martial arts holy land, they did not have any particularly big reaction.

In contrast, the group of five hundred new students were quite excited upon arriving at this sacred place of martial arts.

"Wow! Is this the martial arts holy land of our Great Ming Empire? It's huge!"

"It feels even bigger than the Imperial Academy in the Great Ming Dynasty!"

"Haven't you noticed how rich the aura is here? Since arriving at this sacred martial arts land, I feel light as a feather!"

"That's natural, after all, this sacred martial arts land is filled with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth!"

"That's wonderful! I wish I could stay here forever!"

"Stop talking nonsense and get to cultivation! Don't waste any more time!"

"That's right, that's right. Having finally arrived at this sacred land of martial arts, we must naturally cultivate diligently!"

After expressing their feelings, the freshmen did not hesitate at all. Instead, they sat cross-legged and began their cultivation!

It must be said that with the help of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the cultivation speed of these thousand students was naturally quite fast.

Some students even broke through their cultivation level in less than an hour!

Within this sacred ground of martial arts, Liu Lei was naturally quite happy and excited to see this scene.

As the dean of the Imperial Academy of the Ming Dynasty, Liu Lei certainly hoped that his students would achieve the highest possible level of cultivation.

same.

As for Zhu Wenxi, he also hopes that this time some students can break through to a higher level.

Currently.

Zhu Wenxi mainly focused on Zhang He and Wang Hui.

During the grand competition at the Imperial Academy of the Ming Dynasty, these two students left a very deep impression on Zhu Wenxi.

At this very moment, after absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth within this sacred martial arts land, Zhang He vaguely sensed some changes occurring within his body.

Not long after.

Zhang He's body began to feel hot.

He knew very well that this meant he was about to advance from the Acquired Realm to the Body Refinement Realm.

then.

Zhang He tried his best to relax, then took a deep breath and concentrated all his internal energy into his dantian.

I don't know how much time passed.

As more and more internal energy was poured into Zhang He's dantian, gradually, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth also began to flow towards Zhang He's dantian.

As his internal energy merged with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth generated by this sacred martial arts land, Zhang He suddenly felt as if his dantian had exploded.

Intense pain struck Zhang He's body!

But fortunately.

Zhang He was incredibly tenacious; he endured the intense pain and continued his cultivation...

Six hours later.

Zhang He successfully advanced directly from the fifth level of the Acquired Realm to the second level of the Body Refinement Realm!
Zhu Wenxi and Liu Lei were also genuinely happy for Zhang He after witnessing this scene.

at the same time.

Another student whom Zhu Wenxi paid close attention to, Wang Hui, also achieved a breakthrough in his academic level.

In fact, back in the Great Ming Imperial Capital Academy, Wang Hui had already reached the peak of the Body Refinement Realm.

nowadays.

After Wang Hui absorbed a massive amount of spiritual energy from heaven and earth, it naturally greatly helped his cultivation.

It took a whole day to successfully advance directly from the Body Refining Realm to the Innate Realm!

Simultaneously.

Wang Hui is also the first expert in the entire Great Ming Empire Academy to advance to the Innate Realm!

……

a few days later.

The Crown Prince's Residence.

Zhu Ying's strength is also growing stronger.

Although Zhu Ying's other attributes did not increase much, his internal true energy became even stronger because he cultivated the True Dragon Qi.

Plus.

Zhu Ying was also able to increase his internal energy by relying on the power of the nation's destiny.

and.

Inside the Crown Prince's residence, there was also a spirit-gathering array releasing spiritual energy.

It was the combination of these factors that made Zhu Ying's spiritual energy quite abundant!
soon.

Zhu Ying held his breath and focused his mind, drawing his energy into his dantian, thus concluding his cultivation for the day.

Right after Zhu Ying finished his seclusion, Liu Lei rushed to Zhu Ying's side.

It seems there's something important going on.

"Your Highness, the Emperor requests your presence at court!"

"The court is in session? What happened?" Zhu Ying asked Liu Lei curiously.

"Your Highness, we have heard that the monarch of a vassal state has arrived at the palace to pay homage!"

"Therefore, His Majesty hopes that His Highness the Imperial Grandson can go and take charge."

Upon hearing that it was the king of a vassal state who had come to pay homage, Zhu Ying nodded and said, "Yes, prepare the sedan chair immediately!"

"Head to the Hall of Supreme Harmony!"

"As ordered!"

Currently.

The Ming Empire had long established a rule that every ten years, the monarchs of all vassal states had to travel thousands of miles to the capital to pay homage.

Today marks the tenth anniversary of the pilgrimage.

At this moment.

Within the capital city.

Looking around, there were quite a few people of different races.

Ten years ago, the people of the Ming capital might have felt curious, but after ten years of living together and adapting, they have long since become accustomed to it.

after all.

Over the past decade, the capital city has become a complete commercial center.

People from almost all over the world will arrive in this imperial capital by various means. In fact, a considerable number of foreign tribes have already purchased properties in the current imperial capital.

Furthermore, a large number of foreign tribes do business in this capital city, and of course, some of them also work in the workshops.

After all, the capital city is currently the most developed region in the world.

This naturally attracted many foreign tribes and peoples.

Of course.

For the people of the capital, they could also travel freely to the vassal states; however, the economies of most of the vassal states were not as good as those of the capital.

Therefore, very few people from the Central Plains went to other vassal states.

It is worth mentioning that if the legitimate subjects of the Ming Empire, namely the people of the Central Plains, went to foreign vassal states, the local authorities would provide them with strict protection.

To know.

The people of the Central Plains are currently the most noble people in the Ming Empire. If the people of the vassal states dare to harm the people of the Central Plains, they will face certain death!
but.

If the people of the Central Plains were to harm the people of this vassal state, then the situation would be quite the opposite.

Basically, the people of the Central Plains would not be punished.

Therefore, in a sense, the people of the Central Plains actually have privileges now.

On the streets of the capital, the people of the Central Plains were abuzz with discussion upon seeing the arrival of the foreign monarch.

"The monarchs of these vassal states arrived quite punctually!"

"But to be honest, there have been far too many foreigners coming to the capital in the past two years. It seems that our capital city will need to be expanded again!"

"The more of these foreign peoples come, the better. My family is short of servants, so I can hire these foreign peoples."

……

On the way to Fengtian Hall, Zhu Ying also inquired about the Great Ming Imperial Capital Academy from Liu Lei.

"Liu Lei, I heard from Wenxi that the Imperial Capital Academy recently held another grand competition, and some people even went to this sacred martial arts ground to cultivate?"

Although Zhu Ying had been staying at the Crown Prince's residence during this period, he still paid close attention to the Great Ming Imperial Academy. Whenever he had the chance, Zhu Ying would inquire about matters concerning the Great Ming Imperial Academy.

As the dean of the Imperial Academy of the Great Ming Dynasty, Liu Lei naturally had an obligation to report to Zhu Ying.

"Your Highness, the Imperial Academy of the Great Ming Dynasty has indeed held its eighth Grand Competition, and there are now over a thousand people cultivating in this sacred martial arts land."

"Moreover, not long ago, a senior student successfully broke through from the peak of Body Refinement Realm to the second level of Innate Realm!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Ying's eyes lit up.

"To break through from the peak of Body Refinement to the second level of the Innate Realm in one fell swoop, this person must be a martial arts prodigy!"

"Liu Lei, you need to keep a close eye on this student's situation. You could even let him train in this sacred martial arts place for a longer period of time."

"Yes, sir!" Liu Lei replied immediately.
