"clang!"

Their fists clashed, producing a metallic clang.

Chen Hao used his Iron Rhinoceros Skill to fight back, but his opponent's strength was indeed terrifying.

After the seventh move, Chen Hao felt numbness in both arms and his tiger's mouth split open.

Zhang Hu's force grew stronger with each strike, as if an impenetrable wall of bronze and iron was crushing down upon him.

The ninth move.

Zhang Hu struck out with a palm, the wind from which was like a knife. Chen Hao had no way to dodge and crossed his arms to take the blow head-on.

"Bang!"

He was so shaken that he slid back three zhang (approximately 10 meters) and his back hit the courtyard wall, causing the plaster to fall off in a rustling sound.

"There's one more move."

Zhang Hu stood up, his voice booming like a bell.

"If you can get through this, you'll have successfully passed the test."

...

Chen Hao wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and stood up straight.

His hand reached into his robes.

Zhang Hu raised an eyebrow slightly, but did not stop him.

The next moment, Chen Hao flung his hand away.

Three beams of spiritual light exploded simultaneously.

With the Swift Wind Talisman, his figure blurred, his speed increased several times, leaving only an afterimage in his original position.

The Iron Armor Talisman covered his entire body with a layer of pale golden armor, forcibly suppressing his injuries.

He didn't rush to activate the third talisman, but instead held it in his palm and aimed it straight at Zhang Hu's face.

"A talisman?"

Zhang Hu sneered and threw a punch.

"I'm a body cultivator; these are just child's play!"

However, just as his fist was about to strike Chen Hao, he suddenly opened his palm.

A pale silver light silently bloomed.

Second tier, Frost Talisman.

The air suddenly froze.

The blue bricks underfoot were covered with white frost, and the frost patterns spread outward like a spider web.

Zhang Hu's fist froze in mid-air.

A layer of solid ice spread from his arm to his shoulder, freezing him in place.

Zhang Hu's pupils constricted sharply, and he pushed his blood and qi to their limits, attempting to break through the ice.

However, the chill of the second-tier talisman burrowed into his meridians like a living thing, causing his blood to stagnate and his spiritual energy circulation to slow down considerably.

The enemy was trapped for several breaths.

enough.

Chen Hao flashed forward and closed in on him, stopping his palm just in front of his throat. The force of the palm strike sent ice shards flying everywhere.

He didn't continue taking pictures.

It just stopped there.

You could hear a pin drop in the courtyard.

"Good! Good! Good!"

He said "good" three times in a row, his voice resounding through the roof tiles.

"To withstand nine of my attacks head-on with only a Qi Refining stage cultivation level and remain injured without falling down—that takes skill. To use three talismans in quick succession during the ninth attack—a gust of wind to accelerate, iron armor to protect the body, and ice to subdue the enemy—and to time the talismans perfectly—that takes brains. To stop the final palm strike at the throat without actually striking—that takes sense."

Zhang Hu patted Chen Hao's shoulder heavily.

"Chen Hao, you've passed the test!"

In the shadows of the corner, Su Gui and Wang Mang stared in disbelief.

Putting everything else aside, he clearly saw from the battle just now that no matter how powerful he was, he was no match for his opponent.

"This...this Chen Hao really passed the selection for the head of the guards?"

...

dark place.

Madam Su and Steward Wang exchanged a glance.

Both of them had an unprecedentedly solemn look in their eyes.

"This young master Chen... has already made a name for himself. He has plenty of energy and his moves are steady. Apart from being a bit older and his cultivation is still weak, he is indeed a promising talent!"

"yes."

Madam Su lightly traced the lines of her snow-white legs with her fingertips, her soft, charming smile deepening.

"After he finishes practicing, call him to my room. From now on, I will cherish him and never waste this talent."

Wang Er quickly came to his senses and, seeing Madam Su's resolute attitude, dared not hesitate.

"Yes, I will arrange it immediately without delay."

Madam Su stopped looking at Wang Er and turned her gaze back to Chen Li, her long, slender, snow-white legs shifting slightly.

Her enormous breasts pushed the loose, tight-fitting cheongsam into an exaggerated curve.

Gao Xin's snow-white figure became even more voluptuous and firm, and her ripe peach-like temperament became even more intense.

"This rough gem must be held firmly in our hands."

.....

On the other side, Wang Mang's face was already ashen.

He had just fought Zhang Hu himself and knew how strong the other man was.

This actually forced Commander Zhang to unleash his Iron Body Skill.

Chen Li wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, turned around, and slowly scanned the crowd before finally landing on Wang Mang, who was slumped on the ground.

Wang Mang felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

"Wang...Wang Mang..."

Chen Li's voice was calm, yet it sent shivers down Wang Mang's spine.

"You've just passed Commander Zhang's test, so we'll have to spar again to see who's better. I wonder if Guard Wang would be willing to exchange blows with me?"

"I...I..."

Wang Mang's lips trembled, and he could barely speak.

"Wang, the head of the guard?"

Chen Li asked again.

"I...I dare not..."

Wang Mang finally broke down, banging his head on the ground, his voice trembling with sobs.

"Young Master Chen, I was blind to your greatness, I deserve to die! Please forgive me this time..."

Chen Hao looked at him quietly without saying a word.

After a moment, he looked away and then looked at Su Gui.

"I'll need your help to inspect the grain. I have other matters to attend to, so I won't keep you company any longer."

Su Gui stood there stunned for a long time before he came to his senses and realized that his back was already soaked with cold sweat.

Chen Li considered it just a minor incident.

This matter is not serious enough to warrant a life-or-death confrontation.

As for wanting to deal with them?

Once he reaches a higher position, he won't need to do anything himself.

Someone will naturally step in for him.

Just now, after fighting with Zhang Hu, Chen Li felt his blood and energy surging.

In a short time, I gained a deeper understanding of the Iron Rhinoceros Skill.

Chen Li was preparing to return to the house to think things through carefully.

Unexpectedly, just as he returned to the dormitory and before he could even wipe the sweat off his body, Wang Er rushed over.

...

"Young Master Chen, Madam Su requests your presence in the study in the main courtyard. She says she has important matters to discuss."

Chen Li's heart skipped a beat, though he didn't know why Madam Su had called him.

However, he had just been promoted to guard, which was probably because of this matter.

He responded and straightened his slightly disheveled clothes.

He then followed Wang Er toward the main courtyard.

Compared to the hustle and bustle of the back hall and the solemn atmosphere of the martial arts arena.

The area outside Mrs. Su's study was exceptionally quiet.

"Come in."

A lazy voice came from inside the room.

Chen Li pushed open the door and entered, his gaze sweeping across the room, his heart suddenly skipping a beat.

Madam Su was seen leaning against the chaise lounge.

A purplish-red cheongsam clung to her voluptuous figure, her snow-white, full breasts outlining a breathtaking curve.

As for the lower body, the cheongsam had an extremely high slit, almost reaching the top of the thigh, revealing a section of snow-white and delicate skin and slender, jade-like legs wrapped in sheer, gossamer-thin stockings.

At this moment, Mrs. Su was lying in bed.

Her posture was languid and alluring, with one hand supporting her head and the other casually toying with a string of green jade bracelets.

"Young Master Chen is here. What are you standing there for? Come and sit down."

Madam Su raised her eyelids and gave Chen Li a seductive look.

Chen Li took a deep breath, suppressed the pounding in his heart, and sat down on the chair next to the chaise lounge.

"Madam, you wanted to see me?"

Mrs. Su nodded.

"That's right. Today I want to ask you, do you still want a wife?"

As she spoke, she seemed to have thought of something and stuck out her tongue to lick her full, alluring lips.
