Fantasy: After transmigrating, I effortlessly became a god.

Eight hundred musicians played their instruments to conclude the martial arts competition, turning the arena where fierce fighting had just taken place into a festive atmosphere.

"Two hundredth, Hou Sheng; one hundred and ninety-ninth, Yuan Dijie..."

Hu Can loudly called out the names of the top two hundred experts. Those whose names were called excitedly went up on stage to receive their awards and were presented with medals made of fine bronze.

The medals have names and rankings on them.

Most of the strong players who took to the field were injured, but they still couldn't hide their excitement.

"These powerful individuals will all assume important positions upon returning to their respective countries, with smooth career paths ahead."

"Everyone of them is an elite among elites. I envy them so much."

"Hehe, if we're talking about people who are envious, the one who is most enviable at this gathering of heroes is Zheng Qian."

"Yes, he got full marks in all three civil exams and first place in the military exam. He will definitely have a place in the Guangxiang Kingdom's court."

"He can take on twenty-two experts at the Dragon Transformation Realm single-handedly. In any country he goes to, he will be second only to the emperor and above thousands of others."

"That good-for-nothing Lu Yan led twenty-two strong warriors and still couldn't defeat Zheng Qian, causing me to lose everything. He's truly a waste."

The awards ceremony proceeded smoothly. Despite the tightness in his chest, Lu Yan smiled as he presented medals and prize money to each of the award winners.

Although his one-on-one fight with Zheng Qian was brief, he suffered internal injuries.

Everyone was talking about how brave Zheng Qian was, or how Zheng Qian defeated him and made him lose everything.

Zheng Qian shattered his magic weapon, the Hongyuan Sword, with a single sword strike. He admitted that he couldn't beat Zheng Qian, but he couldn't keep saying that Zheng Qian was powerful and calling him a piece of trash, could he?

The law does not punish the masses. If just one person called Lu Yan a piece of trash, someone would take him away and detain him within a minute.

But with 50,000 people gossiping, Lu Yan could only swallow his anger and keep quiet.

Fifty thousand people are criticizing you, including many foreign elites, and there are many onlookers outside the military camp. Can you really kill fifty thousand people in front of the whole world?

"Third place, Mo Li; second place, Lu Cilin; first place..."

When the first place was announced, before Hu Can could even utter the name, the 50,000 spectators and people outside the military camp shouted.

“Zheng Qian…”

“Zheng Qian…”

Zheng Qian's name resounded throughout the land, and then everyone stood up and sang his praises loudly.

"Zheng Gong's noble character soars to the heavens; he donated eighty taels of silver to relieve the people's hardship. People from both the north and south rejoice together, their gratitude as deep as the abyss."

Lu Cilin's face remained calm, but he was inwardly very displeased. The audience's praise of Zheng Qian was a slap in his face.

He embezzled all the disaster relief funds allocated to the people of the North and South, and also extorted money from the people to buy Qing Fan for Empress Han.

There are three platforms of different heights on the arena. Mo Li stands at the lowest, Lu Cilin stands at the second highest, and Zheng Qian stands at the highest.

Lu Yan took the plaque from the master of ceremonies, his eyes full of encouragement and affirmation. He handed the plaque, which was inscribed with the five large characters "Third Place in the Martial Arts Test," to Mo Li.

"Third place, a very good result, congratulations."

Mo Li calmly accepted the plaque, which was even taller than herself.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Lu Yan didn't speak, but he kept sneering inwardly.

Tonight, Mo Yuan was arrested, Mo Li disappeared, and Zheng Qian was killed. He had been waiting for this grand show for many days and couldn't wait any longer.

When facing Lu Cilin, Lu Yan showed a relieved smile.

"Second brother, your achievement of second place in the martial arts test has brought glory to the Lu family, but you must also guard against arrogance and impetuosity, cultivate diligently, and become a pillar of the nation as soon as possible."

Lu Cilin accepted the plaque with a sincere smile, as if they were two brothers with an extremely deep bond.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Your humble servant will do his utmost to bring glory to the country."

When Lu Yan arrived at Zheng Qian's place, his stomach was churning. He couldn't forget the scene when Zheng Qian vomited blood and phlegm flew into his mouth.

"Zheng Qian, tonight I, the Crown Prince, will be hosting a banquet for heroes from all over the world at the Crown Prince's residence. As the first-place winner, you are not allowed to be late."

Zheng Qian's eyes were strange. Lu Yan didn't show any hostility at this moment, but his tone had a playful meaning, which made Zheng Qian wary.

"Thank you, Your Highness. I do not enjoy crowds, so I will not go."

Lu Yan was about to hand the plaque 'First Place in Martial Arts Test' to Zheng Qian when he heard him refuse, so he stopped what he was doing.

"Don't go?"

Lu Yan felt his authority being challenged, so he narrowed his eyes and lowered his voice by several decibels.

"If you don't go, I won't give you the plaque."

Zheng Qian waved his hand, as if shooing away flies.

"If you don't want to give it, then don't. If you like it, I'll give it to you. If you want to be greedy, I'll give it to you too. I know you well enough; you're so pathetic."

Lu Yan gritted his teeth. Did Zheng Qian mean that he wanted the first place plaque and spirit crystals?

Guangxiang Kingdom is the strongest of the fifty kingdoms. Lu Yan is the crown prince. Putting everything else aside, just look at this gathering of heroes. Everyone expected him to be number one, but he only got twelfth place, and he didn't even cry.

Although Dong Hao and Li Sheng had staked several hundred low-grade spirit crystals, he still suffered a huge loss overall. He wouldn't openly covet the reward of one hundred spirit crystals for first place in the martial arts competition.

Zheng Qian's words clearly showed his disdain for him, the crown prince.

With so many people watching, he couldn't lash out.

Lu Yan handed the plaque to Zheng Qian with a smile that looked more like a grimace.

"With perfect scores in all three subjects and first place in the martial arts exam, I will choose a suitable official position for you so that you can serve the country well."

Zheng Qian took the plaque, which had ten finger grooves on it, which Lu Yan had slammed on in anger.

Zheng Qian fanned the grooves of Lu Yan's ten fingers with his hand, as if to drive away bad luck, and also wore a smile.

"Your Highness, you are truly shrewd. The fact that you were able to select an official position for me shows that you are the boss of Guangxiang Kingdom. You have the final say in the selection and appointment of officials in the court. I admire you."

There is only one ruler in Guangxiang Kingdom, namely Emperor Lu Chu. The selection and appointment of officials in the court are also decided by Lu Chu. If Lu Yan dares to say that he has the final say, wouldn't that be an attempt to rebel, kill the emperor, and become emperor?

Lu Chu is an invincible being in the Liquid Aperture Realm. Even if Lu Yan had the will, he didn't have the strength.

Are you trying to trap me with your words and hints?

Lu Yan was really frustrated. As the crown prince, he had never suffered a loss in his actions or words, but Zheng Qian was the only one who made him feel like he was swallowing a dead fly.

The goddess who confessed her love, Mo Li, a candidate for Crown Princess, spent all her time by Zheng Qian's side.

The general's daughter, Fan Tielan, has a tomboyish personality, but she is simple and easy to control. She is the crown princess he later chooses, yet she insists on warming Zheng Qian's bed.

Originally a sure thing for first place in the martial arts competition, Zheng Qian suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Not only did Dean Yun personally help him register, but he was also knocked out of the top ten.

Lu Yan felt aggrieved. He was severely injured, yet he still had to give Zheng Qian a plaque and a hundred low-grade spirit crystals afterward.

Killing people will kill your heart, killing people will kill your heart.

"Hmph, let's wait and see."

Lu Yan left behind a harsh remark and turned to leave.

Tonight, I will subject you to all kinds of torture and make you die in humiliation.

Zheng Qian completely ignored Lu Yan and waved to the audience while holding up the plaque.

"Hello everyone."

"Zheng Qianhao."

"Thank you for your hard work, everyone."

"Zheng Qian is invincible, having won the martial arts test."

Zheng Qian was surprised; how many people had Feng Wuhen arranged inside, and how were their slogans so uniform?
