Strongest Eccentric Consort

Chapter 707: The Second Assessment!

“Zero beast cores?” The Imperial Academy students stared widely in disbelief. “No way!”

“Yeah! How can that be! Senior Brother Xu is the top student of the Imperial Academy. How is it possible that he can’t hunt even one beast?”

“Exactly! Exactly!”

All of them looked at Xu Tailang, unable to understand what had happened.

The other onlookers, who didn’t get it, also frowned.

“Xu Tailang? Isn’t he the genius young master of the Xu family? How could he not catch a single beast?”

“What happened? Isn’t everyone in the Imperial Academy a genius? How can there be a student who cannot catch a single beast?”

Xu Tailang stood on the high platform. His slender body gave off a cold and arrogant vibe. Even when the auditor made the announcement, not a single sign of anger had appeared on his charming face.

With a calm expression, he said, “I feel indignant.”

The auditor frowned and confusedly looked at him. “Why is it so?”

“The first assessment required us to kill five beasts with higher cultivation levels than ours... However, the entire Fengshan Forest doesn’t have even one beast whose cultivation level is higher than mine. As such, my kill count is zero!”

“...” These words shocked everyone.

The auditor widened his eyes. “You...”

Xu Tailang’s expression turned cold.

Boom!

The next second, a powerful current swept around and blew the sand into the air. An Essence Martial Power vortex appeared in front of everyone!

“Hey!” The crowd gasped in shock.

“Heavenly Martial Realm!”

“Young Master Xu is already in the Heavenly Martial Realm! Gosh! That’s scary! Didn’t they say that Emperor Ying is the only Heavenly Martial Realm expert in the entire Tian Zhao Empire?”

“Young Master Xu... He’s so young, yet he’s already in the Heavenly Martial Realm!” Everyone felt their heads turn lighter. They felt like they were dreaming!

The auditor bitterly laughed. “Heavenly Martial Realm... So you’re in the Heavenly Martial Realm. No wonder, you didn’t find even one beast to hunt in the Fengshan Forest. This is our mistake. However, I’m afraid there aren’t even many Heavenly Martial Realm beasts in the entire Tian Zhao Empire.”

On the high platform, Zhen Guogong solemnly said to Xu Tailang, “The Fengshan Forest does not have any beasts that Young Master Xu can kill. Certainly, Young Master Xu is not responsible for his failure in this assessment. I believe that no one will doubt his abilities. So, in that case, I declare that Young Master Xu has passed the first assessment!”

Xu Tailang nodded at Zhen Guogong. “Thank you very much.”

His cultivation level was higher than that of Zhen Guogong so his attitude was no longer as respectful as before.

Zhen Guogong nodded. “Work hard.”

Lou Qianxue looked at Xu Tailang in shock. “He has reached the Heavenly Martial Realm at the age of 28. He certainly has what it takes to be this arrogant.”

After a long time.

Half of the contestants passed the first round of assessment.

Zhen Guogong got up again. “This martial arts tournament has two assessments in total, and the second one will be the last!”

“Fengshan Hill is next to the Fengshan Forest. We are currently about fifty kilometers away from there. I set up a martial arts platform on Fengshan Hill yesterday. Now, the goal of the second assessment is to arrive on that platform on the hill. You will get one hour to do so.”

“One hour, fifty kilometers... This is extremely difficult for ordinary people, but for cultivators like us. especially the skilled and powerful ones, it’s not a problem at all.”

“Yeah!”

“Seems like the second round of assessment isn’t tough!”

Happiness appeared on the contestants’ faces.

Zhen Guogong meaningfully looked at the crowd and said, “I now announce the beginning of the second assessment. Let’s go!”

Just as his words fell...

Whoosh!

All the well-prepared contestants darted out in a neat and orderly manner. They were like arrows shot out from a bow.
