I just passed the imperial examination, what the heck is this "Celestial Official System"?

Unexpected.

After the start, two more people from the farmhouse managed to stand firmly in the ring.

"Flying Leaf Technique".

Seeing this, Zheng, the person in charge of the spectator, smiled slightly.

He passed on the Flying Leaf Technique to Song Li.

Therefore, it is known that Song Li has now entered the inner circle and is many times better than he was back then.

"Brother Song is mighty!"

Zhao Hui's face turned bright red as he shouted.

That was so satisfying!

Anyone could tell that Song Li was using pure agricultural cultivation magic.

This excited the farmers even more than Huo Zhun's fireball technique.

Who says that a farmer's magic can't kill people?

Using flying leaves and plucked flowers as divine weapons, their imposing presence was in no way inferior to that of martial arts practitioners.

At this time.

Only then did some people recall the rumors from several months ago and guess Song Li's identity: "He is the farmer Song Li who made contributions three months ago in the siege of the remnants of the Shi family!"

When his past deeds were brought up, everyone realized that Song Li, this agricultural official, was quite extraordinary.

Whispering among themselves.

There was a lot of discussion.

Song Li remained calm, ignoring the cheers from the crowd below the stage.

His goal is not just to stand on the stage.

Although the chances of getting the Concentration Pill are slim, I'll at least get the Gathering Essence Pill.

Being in the imperial court, one should fight when necessary.

Otherwise, one cannot become a great cultivator simply by engaging in secluded and arduous cultivation.

Almost immediately after the county magistrate's clerk announced Song Li's victory.

Then a cultivator rushed onto the arena.

With a loud whistle.

A tiger demon, a full ten feet tall with snow-white fur, leaped onto the arena, its weight of several hundred pounds causing the arena to creak and groan.

"The animal enclosure, Fei Ling!"

Song Li sized up the tiger demon.

The Beast Chamber is a very special department among the Nine Chambers. Its cultivators are skilled in controlling beasts, and most of their abilities are in the tamed demon beasts.

Among the nine houses, their fighting strength is considered to be above average.

It ranks second only to the Martial Arts Department, the Criminal Affairs Department, and the Etiquette Department.

Fei Ling also appears to be a very capable person.

"please."

Song Li cupped his hands in greeting.

A fighting spirit also rose in his eyes.

The farmhouse was far outside the city, and he had very little contact with cultivators from other factions. This was the first time he had ever met a cultivator from the Beast Taming lineage.

Fighting against them offers a rare opportunity to gain combat experience.

Fei Ling chuckled.

"please."

He had just watched the entire battle between Song Li and the middle-aged array cultivator.

The middle-aged array cultivator was not as weak as he appeared; rather, Song Li was trying to use speed to counter the array cultivator's methods.

Once the array master successfully sets up the array, the outcome is still uncertain.

But Song Li's advantages are of little use to him.

The monsters are fierce and powerful.

In terms of speed, how could a cultivator possibly be a match for a demon beast?

Furthermore, its thick skin and tough flesh make it the perfect nemesis of Song Li's Flying Leaf Technique.

Fei Ling and the tiger demon beside him were of one mind.

He gave a low shout: "Go!"

As soon as he finished speaking...

A low growl like thunder came from the tiger demon's throat, and its whole body instantly transformed into a phantom, pouncing towards Song Li.

Song Li's eyes narrowed.

With light steps, I floated backward.

They dodged the tiger demon's fierce pounce.

warehouse!

A resounding clang.

A cold light flashed as it was drawn from its sheath.

The cultivators watching below all looked astonished.

Because what Song Li always wore at his waist was not a long sword, but a smooth iron rod.

"What kind of weapon is this?"

Some of the other cultivators in the room looked hesitant, unsure of what this magical artifact was.

Then Song Li grasped one end of the iron rod.

The spiritual energy within his body surged wildly.

Firing technique!

The iron rod transformed into a phantom and smashed down on the tiger demon's head, which was half the size of a human.

boom!

The tiger demon felt as if it had been hit on the head by a small mountain. Its vision went black, and it was knocked unconscious on the stage.

Not moving at all.

"this......"

Gurgle.

Upon seeing this, Fei Ling swallowed hard.

Be nice.

What kind of monster is this?

He was no nobody; the tiger demon he had tamed was at the fifth level of Qi Gathering, and in terms of combat strength, he could at least rank among the top ten ordinary beast cultivators in the beast shed.

Song Li defeated his tamed tiger demon with a mere flick of his wrist.

"I surrender."

No hesitation.

Before Song Li could make another move, Fei Ling jumped off the stage on his own.

Without the demonic beasts, the beast tamers no longer have a reason to fight.

Another victory!

The excitement of the farmers in the audience reached its peak.

Watching Song Li's magic, Zhou Fu muttered, "Don't you guys think that move Brother Song just made looked a lot like... hoeing the ground?"

"They do look very similar."

The other farmers realized that it was exactly like how they usually hoeed the fields in the spirit fields.

Can hoeing really be this powerful?

For a moment, it felt somewhat unreal.

"Master Zheng, your farmhouse is truly blessed with outstanding people and resources, to have such a talented individual."

Han Chang, the workshop manager who had a fairly good relationship with Manager Zheng, said this.

"He just passed the imperial examination this year, didn't he?"

Han, the steward, was slightly surprised.

He knew about Song Li because of Zhu Ran.

Song Li was able to defeat Fei Ling from the beast shed, which means that both of them had at least the fifth level of Qi Gathering cultivation.

He broke through to the fifth level of Qi Gathering in less than a year since joining the company.

The future is limitless!

"It's really good."

This was a rare instance of Zheng praising him.

He naturally recognized that Song Li had just used his self-created ridge-building technique.

This is the second time we've met.

I still find it amazing.

The other leaders also cast curious glances at Song Li.

"Song Li?"

Zhang Kun, sitting in the audience, frowned slightly.

I just felt that the name sounded very familiar.

Song Li stood on the arena.

This was the first time he had used the hoeing technique to its fullest extent, and he was very satisfied with its power.

Two consecutive wins.

He probably already put a Qi Gathering Pill into his pocket.

If they win another match, it's not impossible for them to obtain the Gathering Essence Pill.

At this time.

There are not many officials from the nine departments in the compound who have not yet taken the stage to compete.

But everyone knows that those who haven't even taken the stage yet are the ones who will truly determine the rankings.

Many of them were older officials who had no hope of promotion, so although they were quite capable, they were unwilling to put in much effort.

For example, Xie Yingjue from the farmhouse decisively jumped off the stage after defeating a pill cultivator.

This also gave Song Li an opportunity.

He observed the movements of the other arenas.

Nearly 70% of the positions have been taken up by martial arts practitioners, criminal practitioners, and etiquette practitioners, and there are also quite a few Qi Gathering Rank 8 cultivators.

While he was fighting Fei Ling, Huo Zhun was defeated by a powerful martial artist at the eighth level of Qi Gathering, and he became the only survivor in the farmhouse.

Among the newly appointed scholars, this was the first of its kind.

"Alright, your luck has run out."

A burly man stepped onto the ring.

His aura suddenly surged outwards.

Gathering Qi to the Seventh Level!

Song Li's expression turned serious in an instant.

"Xingfang, Niushan, please enlighten me."

The burly man spoke in a deep, booming voice, his mountain-like frame inspiring awe.

The crowd below whispered among themselves: "Niu Shan has been in Xingfang for more than ten years and his fighting strength is very strong. I'm afraid Song Li will have to stop here this time."

Clearly, almost no one had a high opinion of Song Li.

Agricultural repair is against Xing repair.

He was also suppressed by two minor realms.

Difficult, difficult, difficult.

Song Li took a deep breath:

"please!"
