Chapter 26: The Rankings Storm (Part 1)

  The early bird catches the worm, can the early writer get the reader's vote?

  The father and son duo were letting loose for the first time, taking turns drinking cup after cup, with each of them downing at least twenty to thirty cups. To Qin Wushuang, this wine was hardly different from water.

  Qin Lianshan is now in the third stage of Zhenwu Realm, and he's not much affected by the wine. However, he ran to the toilet twice. Qin Wushuang simply sat still like a mountain, without even running to the toilet once.

  "Unmatched, good kid, when did you develop this drinking capacity? It's even more fierce than your father me!" Qin Lianshan's tongue was a bit big.

  "Father, you're not weak either." Qin Wushuang smiled and said.

  "Don't you need to use the restroom?" Qin Lianshan couldn't help but be curious seeing his son's calm demeanor.

  "Father, look under the ground!" Qin Wushuang had already mobilized his internal energy and forced the wine out from between his fingers, flooding the entire floor with a wet mess.

  "What...what kind of trick is this?" Qin Lianshan asked in shock.

  "Hehe, a little cheating trick." Of course, this was no small trick, but rather Qin Wushuang's years of practice with the "Ningyang Finger" technique, slowly grasping its evolved form - the "Tianmai Ningjin Sword".

  Although he has not yet practiced the intangible sword energy of "Tian Mai Ning Jin Sword", a top ancient martial art, he can already surge his internal energy to his fingertips.

  The only difference is the "sword momentum" that bursts out from between the fingers, which has not yet reached perfection. Of course, this is also the most crucial step, whether or not to condense the internal energy into an invisible sword aura, how much killing power it has, and what its attack range is, all depend on this "momentum".

  After all, the strength of this "momentum" still depends on his inner strength level!

  At this stage, Qin Wushuang is confident that even when facing a strong opponent at the seventh level of Zhenwu Realm, he can still make his opponent regret it!

  "Good boy! Tell your father, have you reached the True Martial Realm?" Qin Lianshan had been holding this question in his stomach for so long, and finally couldn't help but ask.

  "Yeah, I guess so." By this time, Qin Wushuang was no longer hiding it.

  "How many segments?" Qin Lianshan was not surprised by that answer, he cared more about how many segments.

  "It's hard to say exactly how many moves, I haven't tested it myself, and I don't dare make a conclusion. However, that Zhang Lao Ye, Xu Lao Ye, they won't tolerate being bullied by them." Qin Wu Xiang's words were like a stimulant, causing Qin Lian Shuang's eyes to suddenly gleam with several points of anger.

  "Zhang Lao Ye...... Xu Lao Ye......" Qin Lian Shan slowly savored the words of Qin Wu Xiang, "Zhang Mao Rui is a prestigious family, with at least two True Martial Realm second-stage experts stationed in the mansion, and possibly more! As for Xu San Li, he's from an even wealthier family, with at least four True Martial Realm fourth-stage experts stationed!"

  At this point, Qin Lian Shan's eyes became even more spirited: "So, Wu Xiang, you have achieved the fourth stage of Zhenwu Realm?"

  Qin Wushuang smiled but didn't answer.

  Qin Lian was like in a dream, feeling very unadapted. Why did his son suddenly become so strong? Was there some kind of extraordinary encounter?

  Otherwise, there is no martial canon corresponding to the True Martial Realm, and it is impossible to cultivate the four segments of the True Martial Realm!

  If this guess is true, then being able to bring a 16-year-old child to the fourth stage of Zhenwu Realm would be a terrifyingly powerful person. Even in the Sacred Land of Zhenwu, there may not be such a strong person.

  Could it be...

  The legendary strongman of the spiritual realm?

  Qin Lianshan's eyes flickered, and he immediately vetoed this crazy idea. A strong being from the spiritual realm, such an ethereal existence, shouldn't be able to easily appear in the mortal world, right?

  However, he immediately remembered a rumor and opened his mouth again: "Musō, there is a rumor that I also can't confirm whether it's true or false. Listen to it and take it as a reference."

  Qin Lian Shan now speaks to his son in a tone as if he has already regarded him as an adult.

  "Father, please speak."

  "Hmm, I've heard that in the world of martial artists, those who can cultivate to the fourth stage of True Martial Realm before the age of 24 will have a special opportunity." Qin Lianshan's tone was mysterious, and he lowered his voice.

  "A special opportunity?" Qin Wushuang savored his father's words.

  "That's right, because in the secular world, every step of a martial artist's cultivation is extremely arduous. To be able to reach the fourth stage of True Martial Realm before the age of 24, one must be a genius. Such geniuses are even noticed by those mysterious and powerful beings from the Spiritual Realm. Every so often, they will come to the secular world to select these geniuses and bring them into the Spiritual Realm for cultivation! This process is called 'Receiving the Spiritual Fate' in the secular world." Qin Lianshan's tone became more reverent when speaking of the Spiritual Realm.

  Qin Wushuang's heart skipped a beat: "Lingyuan? Spirit Realm? Father, please continue!"

  "It's said that opportunities to encounter such a spiritual affinity are extremely rare, occurring once every ten years at most. Moreover, truly being chosen, like our small place of Luojiang County, may not produce one in a hundred years." Qin Lianshan spoke with a tone full of yearning, which stemmed from his reverence for the mysterious world.

  "Is the selection method very strict?" Qin Wushuang's expression changed, and she couldn't help but ask.

  "This is something that Father has gone to great lengths to keep under wraps." Qin Lianshan only got wind of some minor rumors, but the real inside information was completely beyond his reach.

  "Hmm." Qin Wushuang thought for a moment and said, "Father, let's not mention this matter again from now on, lest we stir up more trouble."

  This meal lasted nearly an hour before it finally came to an end.

  Qin Wushuang carried his drunk and silly sister on his back, while their father, who had just finished settling the bill, was about to leave.

  It so happened that Xu Sanli and Zhang Maorui's group were also approaching the wine tower. Behind them, their nephews and nieces who participated in the martial arts test followed closely.

  It seems that the test is over, and Ma Rui sees Qin Lianshan, sneering with a sly smile: "Wu Tong was eliminated from the test, no need to come to Feng Ze Tower to get drunk?"

  Because the test party concealed the content of Qin Wushuang's test, before the results were released, everyone had no way of knowing Qin Wushuang's true test result.

  Qin Wusuo furrowed his brow slightly and thought to himself: Why are these people like dog shit, wherever they go, they can't avoid the stench.

  Let you be proud for two more days, when "Family Goods" starts, I guarantee that you will not even have the chance to cry. Qin Wushuang coldly laughed twice and walked out of the door.

  "Hmph! The Qin family is like the lotus leaves in autumn - good times don't last long! They actually dare to be so arrogant." Zhang Maorui snorted from his nostrils.

  Fortunately, he is in a good mood now, because his nephew, born from his affair with his sister-in-law, performed very well in the Wu Tong test this time, except for the last level of the wooden puppet array being a bit difficult, all other results were quite good.

  Unless something unexpected happens, Wu Tong Liu Duan can't escape! This achievement is enough to ensure that he has a successor in the Zhang family and solidify the Zhang family's position as a prominent clan in Luojiang County.

  The entire test period for the martial arts children is three days, but more than half of the martial arts children will try to complete all the test content on the first day, and no one wants to drag it into the second day.

  Because this test content is specially designed for Wu Tong by Zhenwu Shengdi, it is a coherent system that has a very high test of Wu Tong's sustained ability.

  If it is delayed until the next day, even if your final test score is 9 dan, you will be deducted two dan based on this and directly recorded as 7 dan.

  Dragged to the third day, and then drop two paragraphs.

  So many incompetent martial arts students, even if they drag on to the third day to complete the test, almost have no results. Two days added up and deducted four segments of scores, for example, a martial arts student with five segments would end up with only one segment left.

  Wu Tong's first move was equivalent to a death sentence for his cultivation career.

  As a result, by the second day, the number of martial disciples participating in the assessment at Luo Jiang Square had dwindled to almost none, with only about one-tenth of the original number remaining.

  The examiner's efficiency is very high, and on the fourth day after a three-day testing period, the test results will be announced.

  On the fourth morning, Qin Xiu got up the earliest. With anxiety burning in her heart, she hastily went with Qin Wushuang to see the list.

  Qin Lianshan was no longer as anxious and worried as he had been at first, after witnessing his son's abilities, the results of this test were already unable to satisfy his appetite.

  Qin Shou urged: "Wu Shuang, eat quickly."

  "Hey girl, what's wrong?" Qin Lianshan smiled and said.

  "Look at the rankings! I want to see our Wudang's name in first place!"

  "Is it the first one? Girl, this is the first one, maybe it won't be Wushuang's turn, you need to be mentally prepared." Qin Lianshan sighed.

  "Why?" Qin Mou was puzzled, since the results were so good, why wasn't he first?

  "Because..." Qin Lianshan paused, "because our Qin family is just a humble household. I wonder if the examiners will let a child from a humble background top the list, I reserve my opinion. Just hope they won't intentionally suppress us, that's already very lucky."

  Qin Wushuang was deeply moved by his father's words, but just smiled and lowered his head to eat.

  "Dad, don't be too pessimistic! Alright, Wú Shuāng has eaten his fill, let's set off!"

  Along the way, Qin Wushuang was the most calm, followed by Qin Lianshan, while Qin Xiu was the most anxious. Yet, surprisingly, Qin Xiu had the most to say, worrying about this and that, until they arrived at the square.

  There were more than twenty places where the list was posted, but even so, the dense crowd of people still packed the entire square to bursting point.

  There were quite a few young men from Donglin Town who came to participate in the Wu Tong test this time. When they saw Qin Wushuang, their eyes sparkled one by one, and their expressions lost some of the usual playfulness, replaced with a hint of fear and timidity.

  Qin Xiao was a clever girl, and when she saw the flickering eyes of these martial arts children, she knew that her brother's test scores were not bad. Otherwise, they wouldn't be using this kind of gaze. If the scores were poor, these people would have started cheating long ago.

  Even Qin Lianshan couldn't help but have some expectations for her son's test scores, and she began searching the rankings with a wandering gaze.
