In the early morning, the sky was shrouded in smoke, and a layer of blue mist seemed to cover the beautiful water city of Daning Kingdom. A crescent moon set in the sky, emitting a faint silver glow.

Just as dawn was about to break, Chu Xisheng followed a convoy of twelve carriages to the gate of Sitong Escort Agency.

At this moment, many escorts and porters in the escort team were relieved and completely relaxed. A group of people laughed and chatted loudly, and the atmosphere was lively.

Chu Xisheng also smiled and responded with a few words of support from his companions, but declined the invitation to go to Baihua Tower to drink flower wine together.

Everyone didn't take it seriously, and an older bodyguard laughed and patted his shoulder, jokingly saying, "Isn't Xiao Chumo shy? This is not acceptable. I have promised the girls from Baihua Tower that I must bring you over this time. They are all waiting to eat your Chu's head soup. With such a handsome young man, I don't know who he will benefit from today

Chu Xisheng suddenly felt relieved. He apologetically clasped his fists and said, "I really don't have time. Today is the internal martial arts examination of Zhengyang Martial Arts School, and I really can't escape. Next time I have free time, I'll be happy with a few older brothers

Upon hearing the words' Zhengyang Martial Arts School ', the escorts all showed a clear expression.

The older bodyguard slapped his forehead and said, "Yes, martial arts! Xiao Chu, you are an outer disciple of Zhengyang Martial Arts School. How could I forget this? Then go quickly and don't miss the time. This is your big day

They immediately handed over the goods and settled the salary. To Chu Xisheng's delight, the deputy escort handed him a magic silver of sixty-two taels of silver.

Chu Xisheng put the silver in his arms, took out his luggage from the carriage, a paper umbrella, and a spare knife, and hurriedly walked towards the south of the city.

At this moment, the rising sun has dispelled the darkness, blending the clouds in the sky into a brilliant and magnificent morning glow.

Strands of warm morning light fell from above, staining the entire Xiushui City with a layer of golden radiance.

Chu Xisheng felt slightly uncomfortable, only feeling a slight tingling sensation on his skin under the sunlight, mixed with waves of burning sensation.

This far exceeded the burning pain of the past, causing Chu Xisheng to furrow her brow slightly and begin to worry about her physical condition.

He stared intently ahead, to be precise, at a surreal screen in his field of vision.

The screen is located in the upper right corner of Chu Xisheng's field of view and can be freely zoomed in and out according to one's thoughts.

Character: Chu Xisheng

Fame: None

Wudao: Wind Chasing Blade Technique Remnants (Level 1)

Yuangong: Nourishing Yuangong (Level 1)

Martial Arts Point: None

Talent: Kwai

Status: Six Yin Resurrection Curse

Lifespan: 17 days

In the bottom right corner of this line of text, there is also a gray icon with the words' Wudao Treasure House '.

Three months ago, when Chu Xisheng first crossed over to this world, this illusionary screen was already in his field of vision. He initially thought it was also a system and was very much looking forward to it.

Chu Xisheng has read many online articles and knows that anyone who systematically crosses over is not an ordinary person.

Becoming an immortal and ascending to the throne is like waiting for leisure, and slaughtering gods and Buddhas is also like a child's child.

With System Dad, we are on the path to success.

However, the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment.

Chu Xisheng studied for a long time, but couldn't find any reason.

Over the past three months, he has made various attempts, diligently practicing, cultivating his energy, wielding knives, and even upgrading to fight monsters, but there has been no significant movement on this system panel.

Only in the martial arts section, there appeared the words' Nourishing Yuan Gong (Level 1) 'and' Chasing Wind Sword Technique Residual Form (Level 1) ', but these were all the results of his own efforts.

The character panel on the screen seems to be just a character panel.

This thing only has one function, to allow him to accurately judge his own state and lifespan.

Chu Xisheng only looked at it for a moment, and then felt the burning pain inside and outside his body even more pronounced, as if his whole body was about to burn from the inside out.

He gave a bitter smile and glanced at the 'Six Yin Resurrection Curse', then lifted the paper umbrella he carried with him and continued walking briskly towards the Zhengyang Martial Arts Academy.

Zhengyang Martial Arts School is only three streets away from Sitong Escort Agency.

It covers an area of 3000 acres and occupies five streets. Outside, there stands a two zhang high bluestone wall that stretches for several miles, resembling a small city. The south gate has a width of seven bays and is painted in red throughout. The gate beams are inlaid with copper, and the four strong and upright characters' Zhengyang Martial Arts School 'are engraved in seal script above.

On both sides of the entrance, there are two stone lions squatting, each two zhang tall, with a commanding aura.

When Chu Xisheng arrived, the place was already overcrowded.

A continuous stream of people from all directions converged and poured into the martial arts school. Inside the gate is a bluestone school field equivalent to six football fields, with more than ten wooden sheds and over thirty wooden platforms temporarily built inside.

Under the wooden platform, there were crowds of people gathered, not only countless young people participating in the Inner Gate martial arts test, but also many ordinary people watching the excitement.

Chu Xisheng crossed the door and was searching in all directions, but was heavily slapped on the shoulder.

Xiao Chu, have you come back? "The female voice is clear and cheerful, but the pronunciation is a bit vague.

Chu Xisheng raised his eyebrows slightly and turned around when he heard the familiar voice.

The person patting his shoulder was none other than Ye Zhiqiu, the head of the East Academy of Martial Arts. She was wearing a purple outfit, taller than an ordinary woman, with phoenix eyebrows like the moon and a beautiful face, probably due to her martial arts practice. Her skin had a healthy wheat color.

She lazily carried a heavy sword on her back, with a hint of bleary in her bright eyes. As she nibbled on the meat bun, she spoke, "Your escort team was able to return to Xiushui yesterday, why have they been dragging it out until now

Chu Xisheng was about to explain when he saw Ye Zhiqiu walking towards the corner next to him.

He understood and tacitly followed behind, arriving at a deserted alleyway.

Ye Zhiqiu casually leaned against the wall and hooked his hand at Chu Xisheng, saying, "Did you bring it

Chu Xisheng quickly took out a money bag from under his sleeve and handed it over. He felt a little guilty, but he looked calm and said, "Teacher, a small gift is not worthy of respect. I hope you will accept it with a smile

Ye Zhiqiu remained noncommittal as she took the money bag and weighed it. Her eyebrows furrowed, and even the buns in her mouth didn't smell good. "Why is there only this little

The magic silver in the bag is only about eighty taels.

She felt a slight headache and said, "It's difficult for me to handle this. Your Wind Chasing Knife hasn't been fully learned yet, so you can only choose the path of being selected without taking the entrance exam. But even if you are selected without taking the entrance exam, there are requirements. Your swordsmanship talent is decent, but your physical foundation is too weak. Besides, there are only fifty free spots, and so many people inside and outside Xiushui are watching

Chu Xisheng's expression was awkward, and he knew he was right.

Eighty taels of magic silver were originally enough to cover the entire martial arts school, but a month ago, Zhengyang Martial Arts School was upgraded to an official martial arts school in Xiushui County. All true disciples under the sect can directly obtain eighth rank military positions in the Daning Army upon their departure.

The Zhengyang Martial Arts School was originally a branch of the Wuxiang Divine Sect, one of the six major immortal sects. The number of disciples in the inner sect was already tight, but now that they have been given official positions, the rules for exemption from exams have skyrocketed.

But with a tight budget at the moment, Chu Xisheng could only shamelessly say, "It's a bit too little. I'll take a few more escorts next month. Please let the leader and all the disciples go to the Drunken Dragon Residence for drinks. Now, please forgive me for the sake of my disciples' dedication to learning

Drunken Dragon Residence

As soon as Ye Zhiqiu heard these three words, she seemed to smell the strong aroma of wine from the Drunken Dragon Residence,

She smacked her lips, feeling the steamed buns in her mouth even more tasteless.

Seeing Ye Zhiqiu's hesitation, Chu Xisheng's mind slightly relaxed, indicating that there was a play.

This leader Ye is known for his tough face and soft heart, so he will have to sell poorly in the future,

Teacher, you are also aware of my family's situation. I am not in good health and have no one to rely on in Xiushui City. I also have a younger sister to support at home, so I can only gather so much for now. Please help me! I will definitely make a name for myself in the future and give face to the teacher

Upon hearing this, Ye Zhiqiu gritted his teeth and muttered, "Here's another set of tricks

She threw the leftover meat bun to a nearby dog and turned to look up and down at Chu Xisheng.

At the age of about fourteen or fifteen, the young man was dressed in a coarse cloth that had been washed white. He had a tall and slender figure, with clear and handsome features. The most unforgettable thing was his narrow phoenix eyes, which even when he wasn't smiling, had a hint of amusement in his eyes.

Only the skin is inexplicably fair and almost transparent, without any hint of blood color.

But this frail state is even more pitiable.

Ye Zhiqiu couldn't help but feel a look of reminiscence in her eyes. Chu Xisheng's face couldn't be seen, as it reminded her of her young brother who had passed away early.

She then realized that although this guy had not fully learned his swordsmanship, he did have some talent in the knife path. The siblings in the family are not in good health and are struggling to make a living in Xiushui City. Chu Xisheng took out this money today, presumably to have emptied the family's fortune.

Ye Zhiqiu then calmed down and turned to walk towards the north of the campus.

It's okay, since you usually come and understand the rules, I'll help you this time. I'll cover the money for you first, and you'll pay me back in a month. The Drunken Dragon Residence can't be short either -

Chu Xisheng smiled and hurriedly followed behind her.

Many civilians and martial arts disciples along the way bowed and greeted Ye Zhiqiu, all with solemn expressions and very respectful manners.

Chu Xisheng is not surprised. Ye Zhiqiu came from the Northern Army of Daning'an and retired from the military academy a year ago due to injuries,

She served as a martial arts instructor for over a year and gained a reputation for being a chivalrous person due to her fair and benevolent nature.

In addition, the Anbei Army guards the northern border of Daning, with strict military discipline and a strong reputation. Xiushui City has always been under the protection of the Anbei Army's wings, and the people in the city feel the kindness of the Anbei Army and naturally have special respect for Ye Zhiqiu, who has made numerous military achievements.

They quickly arrived at the north side of the school yard, in front of a high platform made of green stones.

Chu Xisheng looked up and saw not only a group of middle-aged martial artists dressed in brocade robes sitting on this stone platform, but also more than ten military generals wearing armor, as well as six young civil servants attending.

At the top of the center is a man in his forties, with square features and curly hair.

This person sat on a grand bench with a golden sword, his bronze bell like tiger eyes looking around with extraordinary momentum.

Wait here! "Ye Zhiqiu instructed, then stepped onto the stage and respectfully bowed to the person in charge.

Your Excellency, I would like to recommend one person to enter the inner gate. Please be exempted from the entrance examination

Exemption from the exam? "The owner of Zhengyang Martial Arts Academy, named Lei Yuan, opened his tiger eyes slightly and asked," Who is it? Is there a reason for exemption from the exam

Ye Zhiqiu clasped his fists calmly and said, "Master, this son's name is Chu Xisheng. He has excellent roots and exceptional intelligence, making him an excellent candidate for martial arts training. However, he is relatively young and started learning martial arts later. He was unable to fully learn the Wind Chasing Knife and did not pass the external martial arts examination. Ye does not want to miss out on his talent, so he requests the Master to grant him exemption from the examination and be selected

The museum owner Lei Yuan listened, but remained noncommittal: "Where is this person? Let him come up to the stage and show me

At this moment, not only were numerous martial artists and officials on stage scanning below the stone platform. Even the disciples of the martial arts school under the stone platform, as well as the onlookers, turned to look over here.

Chu Xisheng regained his composure and walked onto the stage calmly. He bowed to the master Lei Yuan and said, "Greetings, disciple

The owner of Zhengyang Martial Arts Academy is not only one of the few fifth grade masters in Xiushui County, but also a legitimate court martial arts official.

When the museum owner Lei Yuan's scrutinizing gaze swept over, Chu Xisheng suddenly felt his entire body shiver, as if his body had been penetrated by insight.

Is it him

After about three breaths, Lei Yuan finally withdrew his sharp, knife like gaze and looked at Ye Zhiqiu with confusion, "Do you think he has excellent bones and exceptional intelligence

Ye Zhiqiu remained calm and composed, saying, "Master, I can use my reputation as a guarantee! This son has great insight into swordsmanship. Although he has not fully mastered the Wind Chasing Sword, some of its techniques are of extremely high level, and even ninth grade martial arts practitioners may not be able to match them. He is truly gifted and worthy of cultivation

At this point, Ye Zhiqiu raised his eyes and gave Lei Yuan a suggestive look: "Master, more than twenty martial arts masters in our Eastern Academy are willing to acquire talented individuals and teach them. Please grant me your permission

Lei Yuan suddenly understood that Ye Zhiqiu's implication was that more than twenty martial arts masters under her were waiting to distribute the silver.

Chu Xisheng's face turned a little red.

This is a bit exaggerated. He hasn't even learned all about the Wind Chasing Blade, damn it, it's below ninth grade.

However, it can also be understood that if Ye Zhiqiu does not praise him as a flower, what reason is there to recommend him?

Chu Xisheng could clearly feel the disdain in Lei Yuan's eyes.

Lei Yuan and Ye Zhiqiu looked at each other from afar, exchanging glances for a moment. After a moment, they smiled helplessly and said, "This child's talent is not weak, he is indeed a piece of raw jade. If he can be well trained, he will achieve extraordinary success in the future. Master Ye, please don't let me down

The common people and martial arts disciples in the audience were all buzzing at the words.

The level of the Wind Chasing Knife has reached below ninth grade? Is this young man not yet fourteen years old? He is also as thin as a bamboo pole, and looks like he can fall down when the wind blows. Is it really fake

It should be true. What kind of person is Head Ye? How could she lie? Since she said this young man is below the ninth grade, he must have this level

Ye Jiaotou was once a sixth rank Zhaowu Colonel in the Anbei Army, with outstanding military achievements. Being able to receive such praise from her must be extremely talented

This young man looks quite handsome, but why is his face so pale? Could he have some illness

They are quite sensitive to the issue of being exempted from the entrance examination, but Ye Zhiqiu is well-known and has a high reputation, always convincing people.

Besides, even the museum owner Lei Yuan said that this son has strong talent and extraordinary achievements in the future, which must be true.

Chu Xisheng did hear a bit of the truth, and the museum owner Lei Yuan should have pinched his nose to acknowledge this matter. At the same time, he also made a request to Ye Zhiqiu that he must achieve something and not be 'disappointed'.

At this moment, Chu Xisheng's eyes suddenly flickered, and a dazzling fireworks burst into view.

He was momentarily stunned and quickly turned to the illusory screen in front of him.

To Chu Xisheng's surprise, the system panel that he had studied for three months without finding any patterns had undergone a strange change at this moment.

Character: Chu Xisheng

Fame: below ninth grade (virtual)

Wudao: Wind Chasing Blade Technique Remnants (Level 1)

Yuangong: Nourishing Yuangong (Level 1)

Martial Arts Points: 5

Talent: Kwai

Status: Six Yin Resurrection Curse

Lifespan: 17 days

The word 'none' originally displayed in the reputation column has now been replaced with the words' below ninth grade (virtual) '.

Chu Xisheng lost his composure and was extremely surprised.

What delighted him even more was that the martial arts point column below had changed from 'none' to '5'.

Even the gray 'martial arts treasure trove' in the lower right corner suddenly became bright and vibrant.

Has the system been triggered??

Chu Xisheng's heart was pounding like a drum.

This damn broken system, no! System dad, it's finally moving.

Chu Xisheng's gaze swept over the words, and as his thoughts lingered on the 'treasure trove of martial arts', a screen similar to that of Taobao suddenly appeared in front of him.

There are fourteen colored product icons inside.

Chu Xisheng looked ahead at the two icons.

That's a beginner's special offer - Eagle Eye, which gives people sharp eyes like eagles, possessing the dynamic vision of eagles, and can accurately detect the weaknesses of enemies.

The original price requires 10 martial arts points to exchange, but this price has been marked with a red X, and it shows that you can buy it at 2 points.

Novice Special Offer - Wind Chasing and Electricity Chasing Hand Phase 1, allowing hands to chase the wind and fingers to power, with hand speed and dexterity that are twice as fast as ordinary people.

The original price requires 20 martial arts points to exchange, and currently it only costs 4 points.

Chu Xisheng was amazed. He tried all kinds of methods but couldn't figure out how to use this system. Why did it suddenly change today?

Is it because of a statement made by Ye Zhiqiu in public?

At the moment when Chu Xisheng was startled by this, he suddenly heard a light laugh coming from behind: "Wait a minute

With the sound, a warrior wearing a brocade robe walked out of the crowd with a young man.

Master, I have a more suitable candidate here. He is a hundred times stronger than this person

When Ye Zhiqiu turned around and saw this person, his face immediately darkened: "Shao Lingshan! I used the recommendation quota from our Eastern Academy, and it has nothing to do with your Western Academy

Shao Lingshan gave a disdainful chuckle and said, "The exemption quota given by the museum owner to the various institutes is for you to select talented individuals for Daning, not for you to use public equipment for personal purposes and waste national funds by storing some wine bags and rice bags

He pointed to Chu Xisheng with his finger and said, "Professor Ye, our martial arts school's requirement for exemption from exams is to have at least above average comprehension and root bone, possess special talents, or have mastered the second of the ten external skills to the initial entrance.

Do you dare to say that this weak and sickly person is qualified for exemption from the exam? I'm afraid you didn't give and take his money privately

Chu Xisheng finally woke up, his eyebrows slightly furrowed, and a hint of anger appeared in his eyes.

He also felt that getting this spot was a bit hot, but being pointed at by someone's nose and scolded for his wine and rice bags made him extremely unhappy.
