My entry can't possibly be this normal!

Changping County, Biluo City.

The Marquis of Wuwei's Residence.

A tall, burly, and incredibly powerful man was polishing the precious sword in his hand.

He was meticulous, as if he were polishing a priceless jade treasure.

He asked, seemingly casually, "Where did the third brother go?"

The guard beside him hurriedly replied, "Second Young Master, the Third Young Master has gone to Qingyang City, and he must have gone to Qingtian Market again."

"Qingtian Market?"

Jiang Tianting, the second young master of the Marquis of Wuwei's mansion, snorted coldly.

"Looks like he's still not giving up..."

"Just because he's the third young master of the Marquis of Wuwei's mansion, does he think he can do whatever he wants?"

"Little did people know that even he had very limited resources at his disposal. That Dragon Roar Golden Spear was the result of all his hard work and financial resources in its forging."

"How easy is it to forge a perfect entry?!"

The guard replied, "Yes, the old Marquis forbids the three young masters from using the Marquis's manor's resources. In fact, his intention is to let the three young masters compete based on their own abilities..."

Jiang Tianting stopped what he was doing, turned around and gave him a cold look.

"Is this the kind of thing a servant should say?"

The guard was so frightened that he hurriedly knelt down on the ground and kept slapping himself.

"You despicable person deserves to die! You're spouting nonsense!"

Jiang Tianting ignored him and let him keep contradicting himself.

"You're quite right."

“My eldest brother is the rightful leader, and I have the support of my mother’s side.”

"Only this third son, an illegitimate child with no power to support him, dares to compete with the two of us?"

"I really don't know how to live or die!"

Another guard looked cautiously at the servant who was still slapping him in the face.

"Second Young Master, I heard that the Third Young Master went to win over the Qingyun Sect..."

"Qingyun Sect?"

Jiang Tianting's hand stopped again.

"I know, isn't he that dark horse who suddenly appeared at the sect conference?"

"Hmph, relying on that shady craftsman's few unorthodox magical artifacts to win a competition, what kind of trouble can he possibly cause?!"

"Even if you successfully advance, you'll only be in the lowest-level ninth-rank sect."

The guard quickly replied, "That's right."

"The Third Young Master previously plotted to win over the Qingyun Sect mainly because the sect leader, Yun Yaoji, seemed extraordinary. But now, he wants to win over that mysterious Dao Forging Master from the Qingyun Sect..."

"It seems his purpose in going there was to find that Dao-forging master to help him fuse the inscriptions and perfect the magic weapon..."

Jiang Tianting smiled.

"I heard that the Dao Forger of the Qingyun Sect isn't even a ninth-rank cultivator. He just got lucky and forged two magic treasures, and now he dares to call himself a Grand Dao Forger?"

"The third brother is really naive!"

"Even if he could create any decent entries, how could he possibly compete with the Nine Cauldrons Merchant Guild behind me?!"

"My treasured sword, Thunder Slash, was personally forged by an eighth-rank master craftsman, and it is further infused with the top-grade [Thunder Beast] attribute. Its power is unparalleled and invincible!"

"He thinks he can compete with me with such a low-class person? He's just asking for trouble!"

The guard nodded and said, "What the second young master says is true. Tomorrow is the annual examination day of the Marquis's mansion. The old Marquis will personally check the cultivation of the three young masters. The second young master will surely come out on top!"

"Let alone the Third Young Master, even the Eldest Young Master..."

Jiang Tianting shook his head: "My elder brother will not get involved. He is the rightful heir, and no matter what his cultivation level is, it will not change this matter."

"Unless he makes a big mistake, neither Lao San nor I will have a chance."

"but……"

"Hmph, at least we need to get rid of that eyesore, the third brother, first!"

……

Day two.

The Marquis of Wuwei's residence, the annual examination period.

This was an internal affair of the Marquis's residence and not a political matter, but since he was the Marquis of Wuwei, it was still a major undertaking, and the entire residence was extremely busy.

Although Marquis Wuwei only had three sons, he still had many relatives and friends, not to mention the influence of his wives and concubines, the influence of marriage alliances, and so on. His descendants were also numerous.

Of course, the examinations of other children were merely icing on the cake.

The real highlight is the struggle between the two crown princes.

The eldest brother, Jiang Tiansheng, does not participate in the school examination.

Because he had to visit the old Marquis every few days, and was constantly under the spotlight for both his literary and martial arts skills, there was no need for him to do anything extra.

Therefore, the competition between the other two heirs became the grand finale.

Marquis Wuwei was stern and unsmiling, exuding an imposing aura even without anger. Just by standing there, he was like a towering mountain, deep and imposing, making everyone afraid to look up.

Jiang Tiansheng's mother was his legal wife, and he was the eldest son, so he was rightfully and without any controversy as the young marquis.

However, his mother died young, and the Marquis of Wuwei then made his favorite concubine his legal wife, who became the mother of the second son, Jiang Tianting.

Of course, the situation behind it is not that simple.

Jiang Tianting's mother comes from the powerful Nine Cauldrons Chamber of Commerce in the Tianxuan Continent. Whether it's a marriage alliance or a formal recognition of his status as the wife, there are countless calculations and considerations behind it.

Therefore, a power struggle naturally began between Jiang Tiansheng and Jiang Tianting.

As for the third son, Jiang Tianfeng...

In everyone's eyes, it was nothing more than a whetstone.

Marquis Wuwei used him to hone the two heirs who were truly qualified to inherit the throne.

Naturally, no one would support him, let alone have any confidence in him.

……

Jiang Tianfeng stood among the crowd, seemingly detached from the bustling scene.

Perhaps, I never truly belonged here...

As he said, once you enter the gates of a noble family, it's like entering a deep sea.

But so what? !

Since my life has come to this, I must rely on my own strength...

Change your destiny against the will of heaven!

"Third brother, what are you staring at?"

"Could it be that at this point, they're thinking of deserting their post?"

The person confronting him was none other than his second brother, Jiang Tianting.

Jiang Tianfeng chuckled to himself.

Yes, what am I daydreaming about? Right now, isn't that exactly what I'm doing...?

Is this the time to change my fate?!

He proudly declared, "Second Brother, please enlighten me!"

Jiang Tianting frowned slightly. When did this kid become so confident?

Could it be that he really obtained some incredible resources?

No, it's not possible...

This guy has nothing to his name, and it's not like he got it overnight.

Even if he found that small Qingyun Sect, it would only be a dilapidated sect in a remote corner. How much help could it give him?

Thinking of this, Jiang Tianting sneered, "Alright, your second brother will teach you!"

Before he finished speaking, the precious sword in his hand had already been swung out fiercely!

Click! ! !

A sound, like thunder, descended upon the world.

It was that precious sword that came from his mother's Nine Cauldrons Chamber of Commerce...

Thunder Slash!

With a single strike, it was as if thunder had torn through the air, and the violent power ripped through the void, slashing down towards Jiang Tianfeng with unparalleled might!

This was not the first time Jiang Tianfeng and Jiang Tianfeng had faced off.

They knew each other's cultivation level, strength, techniques, and moves inside and out.

However, today Jiang Tianting's offensive was even more breathtaking and domineering!

That's of course because...

Within the Thunder Strike, the newly forged blue inscription...

Thunder Beast!

It can activate and enhance the lightning attribute attacks of divine weapons and magical treasures, like a raging lightning beast descending, baring its fangs and claws, roaring wildly, and even possessing the power to intimidate enemies!

This single strike instilled fear in many spectators, who all considered retreating.

Moreover, it's Jiang Tianfeng, who directly confronts the Thunder Beast!

Jiang Tianfeng, however, showed no weakness. With a roar, he thrust out the Dragon Roar Golden Spear in his hand.

A glint of cold light appeared first...

Then the gun came out like a dragon!

The momentum is overwhelming!

Destroy everything!

In terms of the power of his moves, he is a master, reaching the pinnacle of skill, and is definitely not inferior to Jiang Tianting!

Even worse!

However, due to the power of the magic weapon's attributes, it was still completely suppressed by Jiang Tianting.

Rumble!

Boom!

boom! ! !

The air exploded as the two divine weapons clashed violently, their collision unleashing a storm of wind and thunder that tore the earth apart!

Both of them were at the seventh level of the Transcendent Realm, making them superior to Su Ziyun and the others.

Of course, it's not that their talent surpasses Su Ziyun's.

Rather, it's because this is, after all, the Wuwei Marquis's residence, which is roughly equivalent to a seventh-grade sect, and a seventh-grade sect that allocates its resources to its three disciples.

Su Ziyun and the others were naturally incomparable.

boom! ! !

With a loud bang, Jiang Tianfeng was immediately blasted away, his clothes torn apart, fluttering and falling like butterflies among flowers.

A trickle of blood oozed from the corner of his mouth, and his face was deathly pale.

"Good, as expected of Second Brother, your cultivation has indeed improved again."

"but……"

Jiang Tianting sneered: "Are you trying to say that I relied on the power of divine weapons and magical treasures?"

"But my father also said that all things in nature can be utilized, and how much of it can be used for one's own benefit is where a person's ability lies!"

Jiang Tianfeng smiled.

“Father’s words are precious and wise, and I will remember them forever.”

"Therefore, today, I dare to suggest using external forces..."

"Defeat Second Brother!"

In that instant, the Dragon Roar Golden Spear in Jiang Tianfeng's hand suddenly trembled and transformed into a giant golden dragon!

At the same time, a wicked and arrogant smile crept up his lips...

The three-year period has come to an end, and the Crooked-Mouthed Dragon King has returned to his throne!

At this moment, a sudden gust of wind rose in the Wuwei Marquis's mansion. The terrifying aura of dragon might, accompanied by Jiang Tianfeng's crooked smile, spread out with a roar, violently shocking everyone's soul!

Even the Marquis of Wuwei himself couldn't help but widen his eyes in surprise!

"That, that is?!"
