Copy of the reckless man: I can see the status bar

Or have these people gone crazy trying to grab a possible chance to prolong their lives, and are willing to risk their lives for that innate ability to fly high?

Lu Wenwu didn't know about this.

At least from the analysis of the Eye of True Vision, these warriors were so excited that they didn't even have any suspicion and were incredibly carefree.

The second stage of the martial arts imperial examination seemed a bit abstract.

The Thick Earth Empire took out a long box that looked like a blood pressure monitor, with a rectangular groove inserted at one end of the box.

There are dense scales on the groove, and inside is a stone ball the size of a baseball.

The testing method is to put your head against the other end of the box without a groove, and input qi and blood power into the box. As long as the ball can be pushed up to a high enough scale, it is considered a success.

The three realms correspond to three different standards, and you will be qualified if you pass them.

The other contestants had no idea what was going on and just followed the instructions.

Lu Wenwu felt it was a bit abstract.

The people in this world don't know what mental power is, and they don't practice it, but they have figured out a way to roughly detect mental power.

This instrument, which is made of special materials but is simply made, is used to detect the strength of the mental power contained in the energy and blood.

Testing mental strength, this is normal.

It is not normal to detect mental strength in this world.

Because the warriors in this world do not cultivate their souls, they do not know what mental power is.

It is also useless for the advancement of the martial arts system.

So the question is, why test something that is not used?

If there are warriors who realize that mental power is a good thing and needs to be transformed through soul cultivation, then why is there no corresponding technique in this world?

Even if there is no practice method, there is no information at all?

This is obviously not reasonable.

Lu Wenwu calmly displayed his pulse-forging level of mental strength and passed the test again with ease.

No one else suspected him of cheating.

First of all, no one knows what this test is actually about.

Secondly, is.

Isn't it normal to have a hidden trick when traveling around the world?

Are there still honest boys these days who would start talking to each other as soon as they meet?

The number of people eliminated in this stage was much smaller, and in the end only about 400 people were left.

All members passed the Vein Forging Realm, and only thirteen people passed the Flesh Refining Realm, and the rest were in the Bone Refining Realm.

In the third level, it’s finally time for the classic one-on-one fighting arena battle.

It's not the kind of thing where you have to sign a life-and-death agreement when you go on stage, and you don't care about life or death.

As a martial arts imperial examination that required the strength of a whole country, the authorities actually ordered everyone to put friendship first and competition second, and both sides should stop competing when the limit was reached.

It is expressly prohibited to maim or severely injure opponents in the ring.

If it were just this extent, it could still be considered understandable.

After all, we may be working together in the future, and as comrades in the army, we should not hurt the harmony.

But the following rules are a bit confusing.

If you severely injure or kill your opponent in the game, even if it is not intentional, your score will be greatly deducted and your priority in participating in the Divine Weapon Recognition Ceremony will be greatly reduced.

In serious cases, the offender will be directly deprived of the qualification to attempt to claim the national sacred weapon, and will only be allowed to participate in the sacred weapon ceremony to watch.

Even the top martial arts champion is still like this.

At the same time, although the martial arts competition is conducted according to traditional rules, the competition will continue until only one person remains.

However, the title of martial arts champion and the ranking in the Divine Weapon Recognition Ceremony at the Divine Weapon Festival are determined by the judges' scores.

In other words, even if you can sweep all the contestants, you may not necessarily be the champion.

This suddenly gave Lu Wenwu a strange sense of déjà vu.

He remembered that he seemed to have seen a similar thing somewhere.

It seemed like in the final of a football match, the opponent scored more than a dozen goals, but in the end, because the number of votes was not as high as the other team, he ended up being the runner-up.

There are more than 400 people in the competition, and it takes an extremely long time just to complete one round of competition.

In addition, the competition schedule cannot be arranged too tightly, and participants must be given enough time to rest and recover, so the entire competition process becomes longer.

After about two months, the GDP around the imperial city increased greatly and the economy achieved substantial development.

This martial arts imperial examination has finally come to the final battle for the championship and runner-up.

One of them is naturally Lu Wenwu who is disguised as a Pulse Forging Realm expert.

For him who can flexibly control every muscle fiber and even blood and flesh cell in his body, this is not difficult at all.

The other party is a real genius in the Pulse Forging Realm. At the age of thirty, he has already cultivated to the peak of the Pulse Forging Realm and is only one step away from the Innate Realm.

But no matter how talented you are, it's useless in front of Lu Wenwu.

After a "performance" of trying his best to release the sea, Lu Wenwu and his opponent fought repeatedly for thousands of rounds, and finally "narrowly won" by half a move before "exhaustion", and took the lead among many warriors.

It also presented a thrilling WWE from another world to the many onlookers at the scene.

How does it feel for Lu Wenwu to be the top martial arts champion?

The answer is: I don’t know.

Because he is not the top martial arts champion.

Just like the rules mentioned before.

Although he defeated everyone and was the strongest genius of the younger generation in Houtu Empire, his score from the judges was not ideal, so he didn't even get the title of third place.

Just barely made it into the top ten.

Many viewers expressed their dissatisfaction for him, believing that this ranking was absolutely a shady deal and demanded a re-ranking.

But under the suppression of the aura of an innate master, all criticisms quickly disappeared and ceased to exist.

Lu Wenwu himself didn't really care about this ranking.

As long as one can participate in the so-called Divine Weapon Festival, nothing else matters.

However, there was one thing that made Lu Wenwu feel a little strange.

Among those who spoke up for him, there were no warriors, only ordinary people.

In the past, whether it was the opponents who were easily defeated by him, or those onlookers who were eliminated in the first round, they all shouted the slogan "We, the warriors, should cultivate our virtues and cultivate ourselves."

There are also some other slogans that are not so neat, most of which also show the integrity and backbone of the warriors.

Basically, they are the kind that say "I have pride, I am not a vulgar person" and so on.

But when it really came to the issue of the national defense weapon recognizing its master, there was not a single warrior who spoke up for Lu Wenwu.

Even among the onlookers, no warrior pointed out that this way of judging was unfair, and they seemed to have completely accepted it - including the middle-aged warrior who had risked his life to speak up for him when he entered the city.

It was as if in this matter, all the simplicity and honesty of the honest middle-aged man had disappeared without a trace, and he had become a completely different person.

This made Lu Wenwu extremely surprised.

What do you mean?

Every warrior in the entire city is an award-winning actor and a double-faced person?

Are they all hypocrites who say one thing and do another?

Lu Wenwu had already scanned the martial arts examination site with his Eye of True Vision, and found that these martial artists truly all agreed with this outrageous rule, and no one felt that Lu Wenwu was being treated unfairly.

This is the case.

It's hard to describe.

If it was a matter involving their own interests, Lu Wenwu could understand why the warriors kept silent.

It's better to be prudent and protect yourself.

But those warriors who were eliminated in the first round or even didn't participate in the competition, and just came to watch, didn't say a word. Is this a bit

It doesn't make sense to cover it up with the fear of being repaid later.

Even the warriors at the Forging Veins Realm are afraid of it, but the common people are not?

This is unreasonable!

After returning to the inn, Lu Wenwu and Xiaobao discussed the matter again.

Apart from speculating that the national treasure might have some ideological influence on the warriors within the range of luck, the man and the cat really couldn't figure out what the hell was going on.

It's really too weird.

What scene have I not seen? (crossed out)

I have never seen such a scene!

With such mixed feelings, Lu Wenwu and many other warriors who had competed with him were summoned to the palace to meet the emperor of the Houtu Empire and prepare to participate in the Divine Weapon Ceremony.

As they entered the palace, the guards took away everyone's weapons.

Xiaobao and Maomao stayed in Lu Wenwu's inner world, watching the live broadcast through the images projected by Lu Wenwu.

The imperial palace of Houtu Empire is somewhat similar to the palace of ancient Shenzhou in structure and layout, but it is different from the imperial palace of ancient Shenzhou at the back.

It is not a classic imperial garden, nor is it a religious place for worshiping Buddhism or Taoism.

Instead, it is a giant sacrificial site that is countless times larger than the altar of heaven in ancient China.

The altar is a three-tier open-air circular platform, large enough to accommodate thousands of people standing at the same time.

The surface of the altar is paved with green jade, and the circles of white jade columns and railings are not carved with dragons symbolizing the majesty of the emperor, but instead with snakes one after another!

The eyes of each snake were inlaid with enchanting rubies, and the tips of the two fangs were a breathtaking purple, more enchanting than amethyst and more gorgeous than violet.

Right in the center of the top floor of this circular altar, a pitch-black snake sword floats above it with its tip pointing downward.
