If I send you to join the army and marry a woman, will you conquer the Empress?

For a moment, you could hear a pin drop.

The figure carrying nine large cauldrons made a strong visual impact on everyone.

On the reviewing stand, many veteran generals who had fought countless battles could no longer maintain their composure and suddenly stood up.

They stared intently at Qin Feng in the arena, their cloudy old eyes flashing with an unprecedented brilliance!

"This boy... is a born overlord! A fierce general born for the battlefield!"

"Four thousand five hundred jin! In my seventy years of life, I have never seen such superhuman strength! Is this guy even human?"

"Quickly! Investigate! Find out who this boy is! No matter what, we must recruit him into our Xuanwu Army!"

"Bullshit! This prodigy should rightfully belong to my White Tiger Army! Anyone who dares to try and take him from me, I'll fight them to the death!"

……

Chaos erupted on the viewing platform. The usually dignified generals were now acting like street thugs, arguing heatedly over who would be taken away.

Among these excited generals, there was one corner that was unusually quiet.

A dashing figure sat there quietly.

She was clad in the crimson armor of the Vermilion Bird Army, and her tall figure was undeniable, even when she was sitting.

A bronze mask concealed her face, revealing only a pair of clear, star-like eyes as she observed Qin Feng with great interest.

She was Ye Cunxin, the commander of the Vermilion Bird Army and one of the four beauties of the imperial city.

Beside her, a beautiful female guard was staring intently at Qin Feng with an expression as if she had seen a ghost.

This person was none other than Ye Cunxin's deputy general, Wei Qing, known as the "Jade-Faced Judge".

"General... he's the guy who called himself 'Li Feiyu of the Sky-Bombing Gang' at the training ground a few days ago!"

Wei Qing's voice trembled slightly, almost imperceptibly.

She will never forget that face!

This is the guy, using the alias "Li Feiyu of the Exploding Sky Gang," who made a name for himself on the stage!

I was ordered by the general to recruit them, but what was the result?

This guy verbally flirted with me and even touched my chest!

What a shame!

Wei Qing trembled with anger at the thought.

She vowed to find this madman and tear him to pieces!

Who would have thought that, in such a short time, the other party would transform into the Marquis of Loyalty and Valor, personally appointed by the Emperor!

Now, he has become famous throughout the capital city at this highly anticipated martial arts examination!

"Oh?"

Beneath the mask came a soft, slightly amused "hmm" from Ye Cunxin.

She turned her head to the side, her sharp eyes seemingly able to pierce through one's heart.

"Is that the kid who harassed you?"

Wei Qing's face flushed red instantly, and he quickly lowered his head: "General, I was only ambushed by him... Although this boy is arrogant, he is indeed a genius. Should we try to recruit him again?"

"No need."

Unexpectedly, Ye Cunxin refused outright.

"Why?" Wei Qing asked, puzzled.

Ye Cunxin hesitated for a moment before speaking:

"Shallow waters cannot confine a true dragon, and small ponds cannot nurture golden carp."

"This child is no ordinary person; today he is merely showing his true potential. If the time is right, he will transform into a dragon and soar to the heavens."

"One day, perhaps even I... will have to look up to his existence."

boom!

These words struck Wei Qing like a thunderclap.

She stared at her general in shock.

Who is Ye Cunxin?

He has a sharp eye and is arrogant; he has never spoken of any of his peers in this way before!

Even the champion Hou Linxiao, in her words, was nothing more than "a promising talent with some brute strength".

But the evaluation of Qin Feng is so high!

To look up to his existence?

How is that possible!

……

In the field.

"Boom—!"

With Qin Feng's shoulders slacked off, the "small mountain" made up of nine giant cauldrons was slammed heavily onto the ground!

The entire training ground, including the viewing platform, shook violently!

Smoke and dust billowed into the sky!

Gravel flew everywhere!

Qin Feng stood in the center of the mess, his chest heaving violently, his whole body radiating heat.

He slowly raised his head, his gaze passing over the billowing smoke and dust, landing on the pale-faced, aloof figure not far away.

Champion Hou, Lin Xiao.

Qin Feng grinned, revealing a set of white teeth, and asked with a smile:

"how?"

Two simple words, without any sarcasm, are more lethal than any vicious words!

Lin Xiao's face turned pale and then red, a truly spectacular sight.

His pride and his reputation as "the invincible Lin who has defeated all in the capital" were crushed to pieces at this moment!

"you……"

Lin Xiao clenched his fists so tightly that his nails dug deep into his palms, drawing blood.

He wanted to argue back, to yell angrily, but found himself unable to utter a single word.

The facts are clear: in terms of pure strength, he lost, and lost utterly.

After a long silence, champion Hou Linxiao finally managed to squeeze out a sentence through gritted teeth.

"You win this round!"

"But don't get cocky, the martial arts examination isn't just about brute force!"

"In the upcoming contest, I will personally trample you under my feet and show you what true difference in skill really means!"

After saying that, he abruptly flicked his sleeves and turned to leave.

……

On the viewing platform.

Yun Feiyang's face was grim, but he still gritted his teeth and said, "Little sister, Marquis Lin Xiao himself said that this is just brute force! Qin Feng is just a reckless brute with no skill. He will undoubtedly lose in the archery and martial arts competition later!"

These words seemed to be persuading Yun Qingya, and also to persuade himself.

Yun Qingya ignored her brother's loss of composure.

She simply watched Qin Feng quietly from the sidelines, her heart filled with mixed emotions.

A brute?

To be able to hold up nine thrones!

What domineering power! What majestic presence!

The line of poetry involuntarily came to mind: "His strength could uproot mountains, and his spirit could cover the world!"

So... he wasn't joking.

So, he really does have that kind of spirit!

At this moment, the first crack appeared in Yun Qingya's innate pride.

She suddenly realized that she had never really known her former fiancé.

Her heart was in turmoil.

"Thump thump thump!"

Just then, the Ministry of War official in charge finally recovered from his shock.

He cleared his throat, and with all his might, announced loudly:

"First test complete!"

"Candidate Lin Xiao, Grade: A (First Class)!"

"Candidate Qin Feng, with a top-ranking score, has broken the 800-year record for the martial arts examination!"

"Next, prepare for the second round: the archery competition!"
