The poorest member of the Imperial Guard, the Empress begged me to embezzle.

"Understood!"

Upon hearing this, the thousand candidates for the Imperial Martial Arts Examination shouted in unison.

"I have only one request for this martial arts imperial examination."

"That means you should unleash your full potential and bring out your strongest abilities!"

"There's no need to worry about accidentally killing or injuring others!"

"Neither of these two situations will occur in the martial arts examination!"

Chu Xiu said with a serious expression, "In order to prevent this situation from happening, I have asked General Murong to select one hundred experts at the peak of the ninth level of the Dharma Aspect Realm from the Imperial Guard to serve as referees for each arena."

That's all I wanted to say.

The Imperial Martial Arts Examination has officially begun!

Chu Xiu smiled slightly and said.

"Yes!"

The crowd shouted loudly, each eager to try, and headed towards the various arenas.

Chu Xiu slowly sat down and began to watch the battle.

In fact, the Embroidered Uniform Guard had already found out the complete information of each candidate, as well as their cultivation level, and sent it to Chu Xiu.

Even Empress Murong Si and Imperial Uncle Murong Changge now have complete information.

However, cultivation level is cultivation level, and strength is strength.

It's two different things.

True geniuses possess the ability to fight opponents of higher levels.

We cannot judge strength solely by its appearance.

This year's martial arts examination produced many true geniuses, even unparalleled geniuses.

Even Chu Xiu had high expectations for these people.

There are still many capable people hidden among the common people.

These people just lacked an opportunity.

Now, he has handed this opportunity to these people; it remains to be seen how they perform.

"My lord, the complete information on the Vajra Sect has been obtained."

Lin Huaiyu walked into the Imperial Guard camp, came up behind Chu Xiu, and said in a low voice.

"Oh?"

Chu Xiu raised an eyebrow and said.

Lin Huaiyu took out a Book of Impermanence and handed it to Chu Xiu.

Chu Xiu took the Book of Impermanence and began to read it. He sneered and said, "I knew it. The Vajra Sect is indeed no good."

After all, the Vajrayana school is a lineage of the Supreme Tantric Temple.

The most famous and unique skills of the Wushangmicheng Temple are the Wushang Yoga Tantra.

This martial arts manual is actually a genuine esoteric Buddhist method of dual cultivation.

How could the Vajra Sect possibly keep a low profile?

Vajrayana disciples need resources for cultivation, but these resources cannot fall from the sky, nor can they be delivered to them by the Supreme Tantric Temple.

Then the only way to plunder is through force and robbery.

However, the Vajra Sect did it in a more secretive way.

Moreover, how can one practice the Tantric dual cultivation method without a woman?

Unexpectedly, the Vajra Sect has been secretly abducting women all along; they've only managed to remain undetected by their discreet actions.

"My lord, when should we make our move and completely wipe out the Vajra Sect?"

Upon hearing Chu Xiu's words, Fang Heng's eyes flashed with murderous intent as he asked with chilling aura.

Pei Shiji and Luo Tianxi also turned their gazes to Chu Xiu. Their Jing Shen Guard and Jing Xian Guard had long been looking forward to a real killing!

After this period of cultivation, the Shocking Guards grew the fastest, with even the lowest cultivation level reaching the Innate Realm. The Shocking God Guards and the Shocking Immortal Guards, despite having abundant resources, only reached the Super First-Class Realm, with a few reaching the Innate Realm.

A very small number of them reached the Grandmaster realm.

This is naturally related to the fact that the Shocking Guards have been fighting to purge the scoundrels from the Jinyiwei (Imperial Guard) of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

The Killing Blade Manual requires killing to grow rapidly.

"Not urgent."

Chu Xiu gazed at the battles on each arena and said calmly, "This time, our Embroidered Uniform Guard will be able to increase its numbers by a full five hundred."

Even if only one hundred military graduates can become centurions.

However, the others can also become captains.

They also need a fight.

A battle that truly integrates into our Imperial Guards.

"The martial arts competition is over today. Tomorrow, we'll lead them to wipe out the Vajra Sect!"

"Your Excellency is wise."

Upon hearing this, Fang Heng and the others spoke with great respect.

Chu Xiu smiled and remained silent.

Two hours later.

One hundred young martial artists stood firmly on the arena!

Some of the young martial artists were already showing signs of fatigue, while others remained energetic and composed.

This reveals the difference in their strength.

to be frank.

To be able to stand on the ring and successfully defend one's title.

Their cultivation level has reached at least the peak of the fifth level of the Grandmaster realm.

Even the realm of the primordial spirit!

Even those at the Nascent Soul Realm have exceeded seven people!

Of these seven people, five came from the Imperial Guard and the Capital Garrison.

Two of them were civilian martial artists.

This alone is enough to prove that these two people are definitely not simple!

After all, it is far more difficult for ordinary people to get to this point than for the Imperial Guards and the Beijing Garrison.

Because the cultivation resources they can obtain are definitely not as good as those of the Imperial Guards and the Capital Garrison.

"Time's up! Challenge over!"

Fang Heng stepped out from behind Chu Xiu, and in a flash appeared not far from the arena. He looked at the hundred martial arts scholars who had successfully defended their positions and shouted loudly, "Those who wish to continue challenging and compete for the top three in the martial arts examination!"

Come here to draw lots.

Those who give up don't need to come!

He was a commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard and also the Grand Commander of the Shocking Guard.

Fang Heng was also one of the examiners for this year's martial arts examination.

Swish!Swish!Swish!

The voice just fell.

One by one, the young martial artists who were confident in their own strength flashed toward Fang Heng.

It was just a fleeting moment.

Twenty-nine people had already gathered.

These twenty-nine people.

Their cultivation level is at least at the seventh level of the Grandmaster realm.

Below the seventh level of the Grandmaster realm, one has basically given up.

"And I!"

A black-clad youth, around sixteen or seventeen years old and at the peak of the ninth level of the Grandmaster realm, with a cold expression, shouted and appeared in front of Fang Heng like a bolt of lightning.

"Does anyone else want to participate?"

Fang Heng nodded and looked at the remaining seventy martial arts graduates, asking them a question.

These military graduates remained silent.

"Okay, since there isn't one, let's start the lottery."

Fang Heng pointed to a cardboard box that one of the Sky Guards had brought over to the table and said, "Everyone, draw a piece of paper from inside."

This continues until three defenders are drawn.

If you don't get it in the first round, then proceed to the second round.

Lin Huaiyu glanced at the black-clad youth, a look of amazement on his face, and whispered to Chu Xiu, "Sir, this person was found by a tiger while still an infant and raised until he was nine years old. Finally, he was adopted by a disabled and retired centurion of our Embroidered Uniform Guard."

He relied solely on an ordinary martial arts technique.

Tiger Cub Qin Changsheng cultivated all the way to the peak of the ninth level of the Grandmaster realm.

This person is quite powerful.

Because of this centurion, Qin Changsheng has always had a good impression of us.

Upon learning that our martial arts examination was for selecting talent for our Embroidered Uniform Guard, he immediately signed up.

Although he is only at the peak of the ninth level of Grandmaster, he can definitely be called a true peerless genius, or even a true peerless prodigy.

His talent and aptitude are astonishing!

His combat power far surpasses that of an ordinary first-level Nascent Soul Realm cultivator!

He is absolutely the best candidate to practice our Embroidered Uniform Guard's Killing Blade Manual!

Once you master our Embroidered Uniform Guard's Killing Blade Manual, you could potentially become a weapon of mass destruction for our Embroidered Uniform Guard, capable of dominating the world!
