Chapter 72 The Prefectural Military Service Office: Testing Talents!

Outside Qingning Prefecture, besides Lu Ming and his group, there was another person, also travel-worn, who had just arrived.

The man was a middle-aged man with a dignified and imposing appearance, but his eyes were slightly wide open, bloodshot, and flickering, which seemed abnormal.

This man was none other than Guo Zhengwei, the chief镖头 (bodyguard/escort) of the Weiyuan镖局 (escort agency) in Chiyun County.

Before him stood a young man dressed in fine clothes, a hint of arrogance on his face, surrounded by a group of young martial artists.

It was none other than Guo Yuan!

"I'm doing so well, Father, I'm really doing so well."

When the two met, Guo Zhengwei asked about his recent situation, and Guo Yuan couldn't help but laugh.

"Hahaha—that's good, that's good! My son survived a great calamity; he's sure to have good fortune in the future, hehehe—he's sure to have good fortune in the future!"

As Guo Zhengwei spoke, a silly grin appeared on his face, and Guo Yuan frowned deeply upon seeing this.

He turned to look at the other teenagers around him, and seeing that none of them showed any unusual expression, his expression softened slightly.

Just as he was about to speak, his gaze suddenly stopped, and he saw the fifty geniuses that Wei Jinlin had brought with him.

He spotted Lu Ming standing next to Wei Jinlin at a glance, and his face immediately changed color, turning gloomy. He then walked over to him.

He first addressed Wei Jinlin, saying, "Master Wei!"

When Wei Jinlin saw him, his eyes showed surprise.

Not only him, but also the fifty geniuses behind him, almost all of whom knew Guo Yuan, could hardly believe their eyes.

"Guo Yuan?! How is he still alive? Is this some kind of ghost in broad daylight?! Or am I just hallucinating from exhaustion?"

"Wasn't he dead? He was eating at the Chijiang Restaurant when he was attacked by the Earth Dragon Beast, how is he still alive?"

"Hey, isn't that Chief Escort Guo? How come he was released by the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion? But he still doesn't seem quite right."

.

Everyone was astonished and had no idea what was going on.

Lu Ming was also somewhat puzzled. It was because he lost his beloved son at the celebration banquet after the arena battle that Guo Zhengwei took his anger out on him and wanted to kill him.

Later, Guo Zhengwei was manipulated by him and seriously injured Chen Jinyang. He was then suppressed by Qin Zhonghai and imprisoned in the Tianji Pavilion.

Why is Guo Yuan suddenly appearing again?

Now that Guo Zhengwei has been released, it is obviously because Qin Zhonghai is no longer here and he has been expelled from Tianji Pavilion. Therefore, Lei Wanchun will naturally no longer suppress this person for his sake.

However, seeing Guo Yuan surrounded by admirers, Lu Ming's eyes flashed with a dark light. He glanced at Guo Yuan's aura and his gaze immediately sharpened.

Guo Yuan's aura under normal circumstances has already reached the level of mastery in tendon training!

"You've broken through to the Great Perfection of Tendon Refining?" Wei Jinlin asked in surprise.

A hint of smugness appeared on Guo Yuan's face. Back in the Chiyun County Military Service Office, when had Wei Jinlin ever shown him such an expression?

But now, everything has changed.

Guo Yuan first responded with a "yes," then turned to Lu Ming and said coldly, "Lu Ming, I heard that you instigated the people of Tianji Pavilion to suppress my father in the street and lock him in a dark room in Tianji Pavilion, where he never sees the light of day."

"If I hadn't written a letter and sent it to Chiyun County, my father would probably still be imprisoned to this day."

"Given his mental state, he can't hold on for long!"

"By the way, you're partly to blame for how he turned out this way."

"You'd better pray you don't fall into my hands again, or I'll kill you!"

After saying this, he bowed slightly to Wei Jinlin and then turned and left.

Guo Zhengwei followed beside him, turned his head and glared at Lu Ming with a ferocious expression, his eyes filled with deep hatred, clearly not having forgotten him.

Lu Ming's expression turned somewhat grim. Why was Qin Zhonghai suppressing Guo Zhengwei? Wasn't it because Guo Zhengwei had inexplicably taken his anger out on him and wanted to kill him?

Guo Yuan completely disregarded this crucial reason, clearly showing arrogance and not taking him seriously at all.

The day Guo Yuan was attacked by the Earth Dragon Beast, something must have happened that allowed him not only to escape but also to make rapid progress in his cultivation, reaching the Great Perfection of Tendon Refining.

Guo Yuan's current status in Qingning Prefecture is clearly extraordinary. As soon as he spoke, the young martial artists around him turned their gazes towards Lu Ming cold.

Soon, Lu Ming's expression calmed down. He had killed martial artists who had reached the Great Perfection of Tendon Refinement before.

If Guo Yuan thought he could easily control him, he would be sorely mistaken.

"Enter the city first. Tomorrow is the big exam. Rest well today and prepare for tomorrow's exam."

Wei Jinlin glanced at Guo Yuan's retreating figure, seemed to be deep in thought, and then gave the order.

Everyone nodded in agreement, no longer paying attention to Guo Yuan's matter, and turning their attention to the big exam. Many people's faces showed tension and trepidation.

"I wonder how fierce the competition will be this year? I wonder if I can even get into a third-rate sect?"

"My goal is to join a second-rate sect. Although the chances are slim, I will do my best."

"This big exam may determine the fate of our lives, but I'm really not ready yet."

The group of people, each with a different expression, followed Wei Jinlin into the city.

Wei Jinlin had obviously been to the prefectural city before and knew the way well, leading everyone to the Prefectural City Military Affairs Office.

"You will all follow Deacon Ye."

Wei Jinlin handed his disciples over to a steward, then turned to Lu Ming, Feng Qingzhu, Liu Yiyi, Chen Ping, and Yun Potian and said, "You don't need to go through the grand examination. Come with me into the Inner Division."

Immediately, Lu Ming and the others walked deeper into the area amidst the envious gazes of many disciples.

Yun Potian exclaimed with delight, "I didn't have to go through the major exam! This means I can at least join a third-rate sect! Surviving that day really did have some use!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Ming nodded secretly. Wei Jinlin had indeed kept his word, and their risking their lives to participate in the Genius Bait Project had not been in vain.

While they were pondering, the group arrived at a large courtyard.

There were already more than a dozen young martial artists standing here, each with an extraordinary temperament and an air of arrogance.

"Huh? Wei Sizheng actually brought five people into the Inner Court this year!"

A dozen or so young martial artists stood in front of a white house in the courtyard.

The door to the house was tightly closed. A man with gray hair sat on a grand chair by the door. He was in good spirits and had an air of authority that seemed to be there but not there. He held a pen and paper in his hand, as if he was writing something down.

Suddenly, he looked up and saw Wei Jinlin, and quickly stood up to greet him with a smile.

The dozen or so young geniuses immediately turned their heads and looked at Wei Jinlin in surprise.

They were brought by the military affairs officers of their respective counties, but none of the officers had ever made this prefectural officer smile at them like this.

"Director Xie, here's what happened—"

Facing Xie Qingci, the prefectural magistrate, Wei Jinlin treated him with great respect, returned his greeting, and then recounted in detail the affairs of the dragon beast in Chiyun County.

"I see." Xie Qingci nodded in realization, his gaze sweeping over Feng Qingzhu and the others, lingering for a moment on Lu Ming.

Wei Jinlin just told me frankly that Lu Ming is the person he really wants to recommend.

This young man has been jointly recommended by four officials, which, according to the rules, is more than enough for him to enter a first-class sect!

Of course, the necessary procedures still need to be followed.

"Squeak~"

At that moment, the door to the white room opened, and a flash of white light seemed to appear inside.

Xie Qingci took a closer look and immediately wrote down in his notebook, "Lin Qiang, Root Bone Grade B, Overall Talent Grade B+".

"Next," he called out, and immediately another disciple stepped forward and entered the white room.

So, this was a test of cultivation talent!

In the crowd, Lu Ming suddenly realized something.

After watching for a while, he suddenly noticed someone tapping his shoulder.

Turning around, he saw Wei Jinlin. "Come with me."

Lu Ming was puzzled. He followed Wei Jinlin out of the courtyard and into a secluded corner. There, he heard Wei Jinlin say, "With the joint recommendation of the four of us, you will definitely be able to enter a first-class sect."

"However, even among disciples of top-tier sects, there are distinctions in status. Some are merely ordinary disciples, while others advance to become personal disciples, and still others become core disciples."

Disciples at different levels receive different treatment.

"You are about to be tested on your talents, and the results will largely determine the treatment you receive!"

You must give it your all.

"The Formless Divine Skill requires the cultivation of all kinds of martial arts in the world, so it naturally requires the most cultivation resources. Not only do you need various martial arts manuals, but you also need to consume various kinds of demon flesh or different cultivation elixirs."

"It's not enough to just eat the flesh of the Iron-Scaled Python Demon. Therefore, you must obtain the greatest possible assistance from the sect."

Upon hearing this, Lu Ming solemnly replied, "I understand. I will definitely strive for better treatment."

Wei Jinlin nodded slightly: "I also inquired about Guo Yuan for you. The situation is not optimistic. You must be careful of this person."

Lu Ming frowned: "What do you mean?"
