Murong Jin is the son of the Grand Secretary, a first-rank official, and also a third-rank official, so Hu Can cannot let him lie on the ground indefinitely.

Hu Can took a pill from his waist and fed it to Murong Jin. Murong Jin's complexion slowly regained its color. Hu Can carried him on his back and went to the preparation area.

"That was incredible! He sent Commander Hu Can flying with a single sword strike. Zheng Qian is definitely going to be number one in this martial arts competition."

"Yes, Hu Can is a powerful expert at the Liquid Aperture Realm, yet he was sent flying by Zheng Qian. I wonder if his face is even damaged?"

"Don't worry, he's served in the palace for so many years. Even if Zheng Qian kills him, his skin can still withstand two more sword strikes."

"Zheng Qian is our hero! He trampled on the son of a former corrupt general, cleaved the lackey Hu Can in two with a single sword, and donated 800,000 taels of gold to the people of the North and South."

Hu Can was completely flustered. As the commander of the Imperial Guard, it was right for him to obey the Crown Prince's orders. As the chief judge of the martial arts competition, it was also right for him to protect the contestants.

I did nothing wrong, so why are you calling me a lackey?

There are countless corrupt officials in Guangxi, but Hu Can is one of the few who have embezzled relatively little.

My monthly salary is thirty taels of silver, plus various other expenses, so my monthly income is about thirty taels of gold.

It's just silver turning into gold, the numbers are correct, and Hu Can feels he was wronged by being scolded.

Murong Jin's fair face turned even paler. He walked up to Zheng Qian and asked unwillingly.

"Who is Jian Shisan? Can you tell me about him?"

It wasn't him who wanted to know, it was Lu Yan who wanted to know.

Lu Yan has a huge think tank behind him, and all the masters in the world have either met him or heard of him, but no one has ever heard of Jian Shisan.

So, at Lu Yan's behest, he went directly to ask Zheng Qian.

"Jian Shisan is a man obsessed with swords. His 'Deadly Sword Technique' is unmatched in the world. His lifelong wish is to compete with Xie Xiaofeng, the emperor of swords and the number one swordsman in the world. He is a powerful figure worthy of respect."

Murong Jin nodded. He knew from Zheng Qian's eyes that Zheng Qian was not lying to him.

Jian Shisan not only exists in reality, but he is also an extremely powerful individual.

The "Deadly Sword Technique" sounds extraordinary, and it's said to be invincible, daring to challenge a powerful figure known as the Emperor of Swords. How could it be a weakling?

"I understand. I'll kill you again next time I have the chance."

Murong Jin was arrogant and had a cold look in his eyes. He looked down on Zheng Qian, who had no background.

How can someone like you, a nobody, beat me, who's a sure-fire top-five contender?

"Murong Jin, do you want to die?" Fan Tielan's eyes grew colder, and she was filled with murderous intent.

Mo Li sneered: "I know your family's population very well."

Murong Jin's expression changed drastically. Fan Tielan and Mo Li were backed by one of the six major powers in Guangxiang Kingdom. Although he was the son of a first-rank Grand Secretary and also held the position of a third-rank Grand Master, he was still no match for Fan Tielan and Mo Li.

Mo Li is ruthless enough; she mentions her family directly. Who would dare to mess with her?

"hehe."

Murong Jin gave an awkward laugh and turned to leave.

"Murong Jin, have you ever heard of the Sun Moon Cult?"

Zheng Qian's words made Murong Jin stop in her tracks and turn around to look at Zheng Qian.

"never heard of that."

He dared not act recklessly after being threatened by Fan Tielan and Mo Li.

Furthermore, Zheng Qian had the strength to kill him in one move. He was angry just now and only calmed down after being threatened by the two women.

Zheng Qian, you really dare to kill him?

"The leader of the Sun Moon Cult is called Dongfang Bubai. He can easily kill the most powerful master in the East with an ordinary iron needle used for embroidery. The Sunflower Manual he cultivates is the strongest martial arts technique of an era. Whoever obtains it can become the strongest person in the world."

"The strongest in the world? Is the Sunflower Manual really that powerful?" Murong Jin's eyes lit up, filled with intense interest in Dongfang Bubai and the Sunflower Manual.

Dongfang Bubai, judging from his name, means that he will never be defeated in the entire East.

Lu Yan was even more excited. Their fifty kingdoms belonged to the Southern Region, and he desperately wanted to become the invincible leader of the South.

Murong Jin was the same; he wanted to be the undefeated ruler of the South.

"Haha, of course! Do you know why I was able to withstand the ninefold tribulation of lightning?"

Murong Jin shook his head. He really didn't know. Living in aristocratic circles, he was not naive and wouldn't completely believe Zheng Qian's words. However, he really wanted to know why Zheng Qian was able to withstand the ninefold tribulation of lightning.

Not only Lu Yan, but all the strong players in the preparation area listened carefully.

Everyone wants to become stronger, and everyone wants to become a prodigy like Zheng Qian who can withstand nine tribulations of lightning.

"Because I only focused on cultivation, I gave up money, beautiful women, and power, which is why I was able to withstand the nine-fold tribulation of lightning."

Everyone pondered: who doesn't love money, beautiful women, and power?

Of all those present, Zheng Qiancai was probably the only one who didn't love it; no wonder he was able to withstand the ninefold tribulation of lightning.

Alas, it turns out that the reason I couldn't withstand the ninefold tribulation was because I wasn't focused on cultivation and was distracted.

Some people even secretly resolved to give up money, beautiful women, and power.

Murong Jin was also thinking about it, but he was also concerned about two other issues.

"Is Dongfang Bubai invincible in the entire East? The Sunflower Manual is so powerful, it must be a very high-level martial art, right? Is it a pseudo-god-level martial art?"

Zheng Qian smiled, a harmless smile.

"Dongfang Bubai is not Dongfang Wudi, he is the invincible of the continent. As for what level of martial arts the Sunflower Manual is, I don't know, but I'm sure it's the highest level. I've read its contents."

Have you read the contents?

Not only everyone in the preparation area, but even Hu Can, who was ready to provide assistance at any time, was staring at Zheng Qian.

Zheng Qian's voice wasn't loud, but the preparation area and Hu Can both heard it. No one spoke; they all stared at Zheng Qian in silence.

Murong Jin was trembling with excitement. Zheng Qian had actually read the "Sunflower Manual." If only I had read it too!

The next Invincible in the South will be me, Lu Yan.

"You're practicing the Sunflower Manual?"

Zheng Qian shook his head. What a joke! How could I, a dignified seven-foot man, possibly cultivate such a thing?

Besides, he only knew eight characters from the "Sunflower Manual."

"Come here, I'll tell you the contents of the Sunflower Manual."

Murong Jin's eyes lit up, and she walked towards Zheng Qian without hesitation, her eyes full of hope.

Zheng Qian stood up and whispered in Murong Jin's ear.

"I turned to the first page and saw eight big characters that said it was the essence of cultivating the Sunflower Manual."

Murong Jin's eyes widened. "You're going to get straight to the point right away? Are you that direct?"

Everyone noticed the change in Murong Jin's eyes, and their hearts were racing with anxiety, desperately wanting to know what Zheng Qian had said.

Lu Yan's chest heaved rapidly; Murong Jin knew, so he knew too.

Zheng Qian, Zheng Qian, you're undergoing the Ninefold Tribulation of Thunder just to cultivate the "Sunflower Manual," aren't you? Once I, the Crown Prince, have also mastered it, you're finished.

Why did Lu Yan believe that Zheng Qian would really reveal the contents of the "Sunflower Manual"?

Because Zheng Qian proposed sharing on the exam paper: sharing of techniques and sharing of education.

Those who can propose sharing have a level of thinking that is beyond their comprehension.

Zheng Qian, with a serious expression, continued speaking to Murong Jin.

"This technique requires an immense effort, but if you succeed in mastering it, the previous one was Dongfang Bubai, and the next one will be Nanfang Wudi."

The invincible south is even more thrilling than he imagined.

Murong Jin was so excited that he couldn't wait any longer. "Just tell me already!"

Then, Murong Jin stood still, his eyes shifting between light and shadow.

Zheng Qian said in eight words: "To practice this skill, one must first castrate oneself."
