Sword Roaring in the Sky

Chapter 171 Taiyi Hunxian Ling

Sun Yanwan displayed his Qinggong skills, circling the table and waving his hands continuously like flowing clouds and water. Every time he slapped his palm, a candle seven steps away would be extinguished. He performed thirty-six palms in a row, but only one missed and failed to extinguish the candle. The other palm missed and blew the candle down.

He stopped his palm technique, and Sun Lingdie and Namco applauded.

In fact, Sun Yanwan was not particularly satisfied. He had not yet mastered the palm power of Taiyi Hunxian Ling to the point of twists and turns, and a thousand changes. This palm power had to go a step further, with the emptiness of reality and the different real colors!
A palm strike was thrown out, and the enemy concentrated on connecting with it, but found it empty. Just when he felt that he was being deceived, the palm force suddenly surged out, and the reality and illusion were indistinguishable.

A palm is slapped out, pointing directly to the enemy's left side. When the enemy uses his power to resist, the palm force appears on the right side, catching the enemy off guard, and the colors are different.

However, if you want to train your palm power to this level, it is definitely not enough to just study hard and practice. You must have extraordinary talent. Otherwise, even if you are promoted to the innate realm, you may not be able to train your palm power to such a proficient and free level.

Sun Yanwan was thinking about where he could improve his palm power. Sun Lingdie and Namco had already relit the candles and stepped aside.

Sun Yanwan sighed. He had extinguished the candles so many times that Sun Lingdie and Namco had lit them for him without complaint. It was truly hard work. He said, "Let's stop here for today."

He flicked his sleeves and the thirty-six candles went out at once, making Sun Lingdie and Namco's eyes light up.

This palm strike was the greatest achievement of Sun Yanwan's hard training for so many days.

However, the power of this palm was so widespread that, although it was powerful, it had little killing power and could only fool people.

Sun Yanwan said that he would not practice martial arts today, so Sun Lingdie and Namco quickly ordered the servants to prepare food for him.

Not long after Sun Yanwan and the two girls sat down, they heard a long whistle, long and clear, like the cry of a crane, rising straight into the sky, and after a long time, it subsided.

Sun Yanwan couldn't help but shout, "Is Lu Shuangfeng out of seclusion?"

Before he finished speaking, Lu Shuangfeng appeared. In a flash, she was at the dining table. She raised her chopsticks with a smile and started to eat with relish.

Sun Yanwan asked, "How are the results of the retreat?"

Lu Shuangfeng said lightly: "It's a pity that I'm already over 20 years old!"

The implication of his words is very disappointing.

Before Sun Yanwan could speak, Sun Lingdie and Namco were both shocked and shouted, "Senior Brother Lu has already broken through to the Xiantian realm?"

Lu Shuangfeng nodded slightly, with an expression that said, "Come and praise me!"
Sun Yanwan patted Lu Shuangfeng on the shoulder and said slowly, "My senior brother..."

The muscles on Lu Shuangfeng's face trembled, and he whispered, "The seventh genius!"

Sun Yanwan patted his shoulder again and said, "I have a master aunt..."

Lu Shuangfeng immediately became angry and shouted, "That's my senior sister. We are both disciples of Shaochan Temple."

"Why is it that when I get into your mouth, it seems like I'm getting closer to you?"

Sun Yanwan didn't say anything.

Lu Shuangfeng said embarrassedly: "It seems that I am closer to you."

Sun Yanwan patted Lu Shuangfeng's shoulder for the third time and said calmly, "I'm fourteen this year. In two or three years at most, I'll definitely be on the Tianjiao Ranking." "It's a pity that I'm not destined to be the number one Tianjiao."

Sun Yanwan said with a melancholy look on his face: "Just like my senior brother..."

Lu Shuangfeng's good mood was taken away by Sun Yanwan. He knew what this grandson meant. Zhang Qingxi was destined not to become the number one genius because the little sword god would become a grandmaster faster.

He vented all his anger on the food, devouring it like a whirlwind. After finishing half his meal, he wiped his mouth and asked, "We should go back to Luojing. The exam results will be announced in a few days!"

Sun Yanwan spread his hands and said, "I originally wanted to wait for Master to come out of seclusion, tell him a word, and then return to Luojing. This time I'll travel light and simple, leaving and returning quickly. I don't want to be an official anyway."

Lu Shuangfeng sneered and said, "You may not be a high school graduate!"

Sun Yanwan replied, "It doesn't matter. No matter who comes first in the exam, his reputation in the literary world is destined to be inferior to mine."

Lu Shuangfeng stopped talking immediately. Sun Yanwan's fame in Dalang was only slightly inferior to that of Han Shi, the current leader of the literary world. Not to mention passing the imperial examination, even if someone else got first place in the palace examination and became the top scholar of this year's exam, it would be nothing to Sun Yanwan.

Lu Shuangfeng suddenly regretted showing off to Sun Yanwan that she had broken through to the Innate Realm.

Coincidentally, not long after they had finished their meal, Zhang Yuanqiao also came out of confinement.

Grandmaster Zhang felt refreshed and went to take a bath before calling Sun Yanwan over. He examined her homework, gave her some martial arts advice, and said, "The results of the imperial examination are coming soon. You can go back to Luojing and visit Master Kongchan. Take a letter for me."

Sun Yanwan responded respectfully. He knew that Kong Chan was the chief examiner of the undergraduate program and had arrived in the capital long ago. However, as a candidate, it was inappropriate for him to visit him before the examination. After the results were announced, it was proper to pay a visit to the teacher and no one would gossip about him.

Sun Yanwan waited until her master had finished explaining everything before she curiously asked, "Master, how did you feel about going to Luojing to watch the battle?"

Zhang Yuanqiao said seriously, "Go and return quietly, and don't make it public."

Sun Yanwan couldn't understand why this matter couldn't be publicized. But since his master had said so, perhaps he was shocked by the scene of the ultimate martial arts competition and felt a little unhappy. As an apprentice, it was not good to bring up such things.

Because Wu Zhi had not yet come out of seclusion, Sun Yanwan discussed with Lu Shuangfeng and they prepared to go to Luojing first on horseback. Sun Yanwan lent Da Huang to Lu Shuangfeng and rode Hei Tu himself. They set off that day and arrived in Luojing again a few days later.

This time, Sun Yanwan said she would not go to Fanlou no matter what.

Well, I definitely won’t visit the other famous buildings.

Lu Shuangfeng goes out every day, but I don’t know where she goes to have fun.

Sun Yanwan stayed at home to practice martial arts and waited patiently until the day of the announcement of the results, and then he went to see the results with Lu Shuangfeng.

Sun Yan came into this world more than a year ago. When she went to see the results, she felt relaxed and even had a subtle feeling as if she was attending a lively festival.

Sun Yanwan didn't have the habit of waiting patiently for the list to be posted, so he came very late. When he arrived, the list had already been posted. The first wave of Luojing people who came to see the list had dispersed, and now there were only a few hundred people left under the list, so he could easily read the list without having to squeeze.

Sun Yanwan habitually started from the end of the list. Nearly a hundred people were admitted to this imperial examination. Five lists were posted. He looked at dozens of names, but his name was not on them. He couldn't help feeling a little unhappy. He looked at another twenty or thirty names, but his name was still not on them. He felt that this imperial examination should be a failure.

He was about to call out to Lu Shuangfeng, but saw his friend's face was full of anger. He asked, "Why do you look like that?" Lu Shuangfeng pointed and saw the first line of the first notice, with the three gilded characters "Sun Yanwan" written on it. He couldn't help but secretly praise, "Master Kongchan, Oli Ge!"
