Pirated Immortals in the World of Spirit Weapons

It was a little after 1 p.m.

Zhu Que rode in Su Zhen's police car to the examination venue.

The scenery outside the window flashed by, and sunlight streamed through the car window, bathing him in a long-lost sense of warmth.

"There's something else I want to tell you."

Su Zhen glanced at Zhu Que and asked, "The Black Lotus Guild's headquarters secret room and spirit weapon vault were completely looted. Did you do it?"

"no."

Zhu Que denied it without even thinking.

He would never give back what he had already obtained.

Su Zhen said casually, "It's no use denying it. Most of those magical artifacts are connected to the spiritual network. Once you use them, the spiritual network will receive the signal and automatically locate and track you."

"Back then, you had no choice but to pay."

"Captain Su, this is way too domineering."

Zhu Que complained, "I've done such a great job for you, so let me get some benefits out of it."

"Hey, don't talk nonsense. I didn't want the magical artifact from you. My superiors ordered me to investigate it. I'm just a messenger."

Su Zhen shrugged and said.

"Then I'll talk to your superiors another day."

Zhu Que said casually.

He now has the leverage to negotiate with the authorities.

After all, the person who possessed the method to replicate the Thousand Soul Banner was his fictional master.

The only way to contact his "master" is through him, so now the Guangyang authorities are in need of his help.

I advise you not to be too optimistic.

Su Zhen seemed to see through Zhu Que's thoughts and reminded him, "In the Kunlun Immortal Alliance, the system of status is paramount."

"As long as you remain a fifth-class citizen, no matter what method you use to imitate the Thousand Soul Banner, or even if you can imitate the Immortal Slaughtering Sword Formation, it will be useless."

"Of course, considering your master's existence, the authorities won't go too far, but they also won't negotiate with you."

"This identity system is so outrageous, who designed it?"

Zhu Que complained, "Isn't this kind of caste system a malignant tumor hindering social development?"

What is the caste system?

"Another system that is also very perverse."

"You'll understand about the identity system once you study some history."

Su Zhen chuckled and said, "Although the identity system may seem unreasonable, it is indeed the best-functioning system in the cultivation world. Years of practice have proven that this system is the most effective in maintaining social stability."

"?"

Zhu Que was even more confused.

He couldn't quite understand. How could such an obviously stupid system become the "best system" in the cultivation world?

When I have time, I really need to study world history properly; there's probably some deeper reason that he doesn't understand yet.

"but----"

Su Zhen suddenly changed the subject: "If you can get a good grade today, all the problems will be solved."

"You mean—" Zhu Que immediately understood his meaning. "To qualify me for a fourth-tier promotion?"

"That's right. Once you become a fourth-class citizen, and can legally possess and freely trade spiritual artifacts, you will be qualified to communicate with the authorities."

Su Zhen smiled and said, "So do your best later."

"Understood."

Zhu Que nodded slightly. In order to qualify for the fourth-level promotion, he had to be among the top fifty in this special college entrance examination.

Two o'clock in the afternoon.

The two arrived at the town's education office.

Unlike the regular college entrance examination, the venue for the first special college entrance examination in Jinfeng Town was set up in the town's education office.

Because it was the first time, the organizers attached great importance to it and wanted to make it a grand event.

Moreover, due to the fame of the Four Young Masters of Linhe, the special examination in Jinfeng Town also attracted a lot of attention.

The Jinfeng Town Education Office also wants to take this opportunity to promote the education sector in Jinfeng Town and raise its profile.

therefore.

The exam was held in an open-air plaza, with a specially constructed exam area and seating for the audience.

now.

The square was packed with people, and the surrounding streets were completely blocked.

Many shops and businesses in Jinfeng Town even gave their employees a day off to come and watch this grand event.

Vendors weaved through the crowd, selling drinks and snacks, creating a lively and bustling scene.

"Are there this many people?"

Zhu Que was stunned by the scene as soon as he arrived at the scene.

"Strange, there are definitely too many people."

Su Zhen was also somewhat surprised.

Just then—

"May this opportunity remain unfilled!"

A clear shout came from the crowd.

Zhu Que turned his head and saw a familiar figure waving vigorously.

It was Xiao Cai.

She stood in the middle to back row of the audience, tiptoeing, waving her hands in the air, as if afraid that Zhu Que wouldn't see her.

"Over here, over here!"

Zhu Que and Su Zhen walked over.

It turns out that not only Xiao Cai is here, but also Sun Zheng, Tang Dongfang and his daughter Tang Ke, and the employees of the Sixth Garbage Dump are all present.

Are you all here?

Zhu Que was somewhat surprised.

"Are you alright?" Xiao Cai asked.

"It's alright, don't you see who brought me here?" Zhu Que said with a smile.

"That's good."

Xiao Cai breathed a sigh of relief, her eyes crinkling into crescent moons with laughter. "We came all this way to cheer you on!"

"Are you alright?" Sun Zheng asked.

"He has fully recovered."

While Zhu Que was absorbing the source of the secret realm, the injuries he sustained in the battle with Zhan Yunhe were also healed without him even realizing it.

Sun Zheng nodded slightly.

"Wishing you a vacancy—"

Tang Ke also stood up and said with sincere gratitude, "Thank you, thank you for saving me again."

Standing in front of Zhu Que, she suddenly realized that the boy had grown taller than her.

A few months ago, Zhu Que was half a head shorter than her.

Now, unless she raises her head slightly, she can't see Zhu Que's face clearly.

Not only that.

Zhu Que's temperament seems to have changed as well.

His eyes were clear, radiating a calm and confident aura, with a light that was impossible to ignore.

At that moment, a strange feeling suddenly arose in her heart, like ripples suddenly appearing on a calm lake.

She didn't know how to describe the feeling.

I just feel...

Zhu Que looks really good standing in the sunlight.

"I was just trying to protect myself," Zhu Que said with a light laugh.

"Congratulations on your help! Anyway, thank you so much!"

Tang Dongfang grasped Zhu Que's hand with immense excitement, his voice trembling and his eyes reddening.

The last kidnapping incident.

Tang Dongfang still felt that Zhu Que was just benefiting from Chu Luo's influence, and that he was only brave at crucial moments, but was not really anything special.

But this time.

He felt genuinely grateful to Zhu Que.

When he was at his most desperate, when Tang Ke was in mortal danger, it was Zhu Que who stood up for him.

If it weren't for Zhu Que, he and Tang Ke would probably have met with misfortune long ago.

Please forgive me for any wrongdoing I may have done to you in the past.

Tang Dongfang said sincerely, "I know that I was always harsh on you in the past and didn't speak very politely—I'm sorry, I sincerely apologize to you."

"From now on, you are a benefactor of the Tang family. If you need any help, just ask. As long as it's within my power, I, Tang Dongfang, will never refuse!"

"Then give me the position of farm manager." Zhu Que didn't stand on ceremony with him.

"----ah?"

Tang Dongfang was stunned. You really just blurted it out like that?

"Just kidding, don't take it seriously."

Zhu Que chuckled lightly and ignored him.

Sun Zheng said, "The afternoon session is about to start. Get ready, we'll all be cheering you on."

"Yes, yes, yes!"

The landfill workers all said, "Zhu Que, you must do your best!"

"I didn't expect you to be so capable. Keep up the good work and get good grades, so you can make your brothers proud!"

"I wish you good luck on your exam, Que. All the fifth-class candidates are at the bottom now, and we're all waiting for you to save face."

,,

Everyone offered him words of encouragement.

They originally thought that Zhu Que's decision to sign up for the special college entrance examination was a very foolish one.

How could someone of the fifth class possibly achieve any good results? He would definitely be crushed by those of the fourth and third classes.

However, after these two incidents, they have completely changed their opinion of Zhu Que.

"Thank you everyone, I will do my best."

Zhu Que smiled. He would give his all in this special college entrance examination for the sake of that fourth-level promotion qualification.

Su Zhen asked, "Do you know why there are so many people here?"

"They're all just here to watch the show."

Sun Zheng explained, "There weren't this many people in the morning session, but there were many people in the afternoon session because there was a good show to watch."

Zhu Que asked curiously, "What kind of show?"

"Because many people abstained, all the candidates except you have basically finished the exam in the morning session."

Sun Zheng explained, "As expected, the results were all at the bottom of the class, while the four young masters of Linhe ranked in the top four."

"What's really interesting is that—besides Zhou Yan, who is the strongest and takes the top spot, the other three are tied for second place."

.

"Tie for second place? That would mean—"

Zhu Que was slightly taken aback, but immediately understood the problem.

"That's right, there are only three places available. Zhou Yan, who was at the top of the list, got one. The other three are tied for second place and need to play a round-robin tournament. Each person has to play two matches, and the first person to lose two matches is eliminated."

"That's so exciting."

"It's precisely because it's so exciting that it attracts so many people."

"6

"I see."

Zhu Que suddenly realized.

Just then, a commotion suddenly broke out outside the crowd.

"The Four Young Masters of Linhe are here!"

Zhu Que followed the sound and saw four young men enter the square.

These are the Four Young Masters of Linhe.

The leader was a spirited young man.

He was tall and slender, with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes. Every gesture he made exuded a calm and composed demeanor.

This is Zhou Yan, the leader of the Four Young Masters of Linhe.

Behind him.

That was Wu Yu, another beggar among the Four Young Masters of Linhe. He looked refined and scholarly, but he exuded a menacing and fierce aura.

Shi Mian was a burly man, about 1.9 meters tall, with broad shoulders and a strong build. Standing there, he resembled a small mountain.

Guo Youfeng is thin and wiry, with a cold and aloof demeanor and extremely arrogant eyes.

The moment the four of them appeared, the atmosphere in the entire square reached a climax, with screams, cheers, and whistles all mixed together.

"Let me go first in the round-robin tiebreaker. I'll win two matches first, and you two can fight for the remaining spots."

Wu Yu smiled confidently.

"Keep dreaming," Shi Mian sneered. "Wait till I get to go first, I'll beat the shit out of you!"

"Then you guys fight first, and I'll reap the benefits," Wu Youfeng said calmly.

"Hahaha, keep it up, guys!"

Zhou Yan glanced at them, feigning sympathy.

"Sigh, the thought that one of my brothers is destined to be eliminated makes me really sad."

"Stop with the crocodile tears. Why don't you offer your spot and give it to us?"

"Hahaha, brothers, let's rely on our own abilities. I'll cheer you on properly later."

Zhou Yan laughed heartily.

Talking and laughing, the four of them quietly entered the examination square.

Zhou Yan, having secured the top spot in the exam, has already been admitted and is seated in the admissions section.

Meanwhile, Wu Yu, Shi Mian, and Wu Youfeng, the beggars, began their pre-match preparations.

"The afternoon session has started, you should go take your exam."

"7

Su Zhen glanced at Shi Mei and said.

Zhu Que nodded slightly and entered the examination room.

As soon as he entered, he attracted a lot of attention, but the vast majority of the alchemists did not know who he was.
