Chapter 110 Golden Body Sixth Stage! Advancement to Fourth Rank! The Directorate of Ceremonial Affairs needs talent like you!
Shen Yan spent the next period of time diligently cultivating.
News of their duel spread throughout Bianjing.
Jinghu Academy has announced that everyone is welcome to attend.
This was extremely attractive to the people of Bianjing.
Jinghu Academy is not open to the public on ordinary days, and guards are stationed outside.
Even if you don't watch the competition, you should still visit the academy to absorb some of its literary atmosphere in order to pass the imperial examination next autumn.
half a month later.
Shen Yan sat alone in the courtyard, where the snow was already half a person high. He had not gone out to see anyone for half a month.
During that time, Master Qi came to visit him once. After not seeing him for a long time, Master Qi did not expect that the news about Shen Yan he heard again would be like this.
Jinghu Academy was the sacred place he had always dreamed of. It could be said that there was no scholar in the Great Zhou who did not want to study there.
After expressing his concern for a few words, Master Qi left.
Those familiar with Shen Yan know that he is in seclusion, cultivating diligently, although few people are optimistic about him.
Shen Yan himself, however, was full of fighting spirit.
As the sun rose, he opened his eyes.
A glint of light flashed in his eyes.
The power emanating from the Dao Fruit surged throughout his body, and his bones and muscles were finally tempered to be as smooth as white jade.
Shen Yan emitted a burst of energy, which swept up the snow in the courtyard.
After a long while, the strong wind subsided, and the courtyard returned to calm.
Shen Yan's face lit up with joy, and he let out a sigh of relief.
"I have reached the sixth level of the Golden Body Realm and am now a fourth-rank martial artist."
He hadn't expected that breaking through to the sixth level of the Nine Revolutions Golden Body Technique would be so difficult; Shen Yan had underestimated the difficulty of cultivating a high-grade technique.
Fortunately, the Duke's mansion sent him ten Fire Spirit Pills; otherwise, with only a few days left, he might not have been able to break through.
The Dragon Elephant Prajna Sutra also broke through to the third level a few days ago.
With his external training alone, no one below the third rank is his match.
After the breakthrough, Shen Yan felt much more relaxed.
It is unlikely that one can cultivate to the seventh level of the Golden Body in the short term.
The progress of the "Longevity Manual" is predictable, so breakthroughs in internal energy cultivation are unlikely.
At home, Shen Yan could only continue to consolidate his cultivation and strive to deal with the situation in the most perfect way.
Finally, the second day of the second lunar month arrived.
Jinghu Academy was not located within Bianjing city, but outside the city.
Many people left the city today, all to watch the competition between Shen Yan and Zeng Yanqiu.
Shen Yan hadn't expected so many people. He and Zeng Yanqiu had only agreed on a date, but not a specific time.
Therefore, he leisurely left the city close to noon.
Shen Yan couldn't help but click his tongue when he saw the pedestrians on the road.
"I've been in seclusion for over two weeks, I never expected them to make such a big deal out of this? Are they really sure they can take me down?"
Thinking of this, Shen Yan couldn't help but feel a little excited.
Jinghu Academy, Martial Arts Ground.
Shen Yan had not yet arrived, but the others had already been there and were waiting.
When Emperor Xuanwu learned of their competition, although he did not attend in person, he sent Wang Xi to observe it.
The Crown Prince and Zeng Shihong arrived together, chatting and laughing with Zeng Yanqiu as they walked.
Upon seeing Shen Moxuan sitting to the side, Zeng Shihong questioned, "Shen Moxuan, what is the meaning of you bringing a thousand Vermilion Bird soldiers outside the academy?"
Shen Moxuan said calmly after hearing this:
-
-
"Naturally, it's to maintain order here. Look at all these people all over the mountains; if we don't call more people, what if something goes wrong?"
Zeng Shihong squinted at him, understanding that Shen Moxuan was trying to intimidate them.
The Great Zhou Dynasty had four elite troops, named after the four symbols, and Shen Moxuan commanded two of them: the Vermilion Bird Army and the White Tiger Army.
Among them, the Vermilion Bird Army followed him in his campaigns to the north and south to quell internal strife, while the White Tiger Army, together with the Azure Dragon Army of the Prince of Zhenbei, guarded the border.
These four armies are all seasoned veterans, the elite of the Great Zhou.
Shen Moxuan's purpose in bringing the army was self-evident.
Wang Xi and Zheng Jun sat together; they were both close to Emperor Xuanwu, so they were naturally closer.
"Lord Zheng, who exactly is this Shen Yan? I've never heard of him before?"
"It's normal that Eunuch Wang hasn't heard of him. This Shen Yan has only recently risen to prominence and is a member of Shen Moxuan's clan."
Wang Xi nodded after hearing this. No wonder he dared to challenge Jinghu Academy.
Seeing that Shen Yan hadn't arrived by noon, Zeng Yanqiu couldn't help but say to Shen Moxuan, "I think Shen Yan is too scared to come, isn't he?"
Shen Moxuan knew that his words had a hidden meaning, but he did not respond and calmly looked at the scenery.
As everyone grew impatient, Shen Yan finally emerged from the crowd.
He looked up and saw that Jinghu Academy truly deserved to be the best in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
The academy is surrounded by mountains on all sides, and in front of it is a large lake, as clear as a mirror, hence the name Mirror Lake Academy.
A huge statue, more than ten meters high, stands in front of the academy, depicting the academy's first headmaster, Mr. Jinghu.
He was also the only headmaster in history who was not an emperor.
The face is lifelike, with a gentle smile on its face.
However, the tranquility of the place has been lost, and the whole area is filled with onlookers.
Upon seeing Shen Yan arrive, Zeng Yanqiu sneered, "I thought you didn't dare to come?"
Shen Yan laughed and said, "Opportunities to beat that old dog up don't come often, how could I not come?"
"Sharp-tongued, I hope you can stay this stubborn later."
Shen Yan urged, "Stop talking nonsense, let's begin!"
He hadn't even finished speaking.
Zeng Yanqiu had already struck out with a palm, his palm formed from true qi, aimed at Shen Yan.
Shen Moxuan, who was not far away, frowned slightly and suppressed the urge to take action.
"That Zeng fellow is truly shameless, bullying the young while being old, and even resorting to sneak attacks."
Shen Yan never expected that this old man would be so unethical, even though he was much stronger than him, and still managed to launch a sneak attack.
Unable to dodge, he could only take Zeng Yanqiu's palm strike head-on.
clang!
A dull metallic sound came from Shen Yan's chest, his blood surged, and a trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.
The Longevity Technique's true energy circulated, and this minor injury was quickly healed.
Zeng Yanqiu's palm strike did not cause him much harm at all.
Upon seeing this, Shen Moxuan's expression relaxed, as he had already sensed that Shen Yan's aura had not changed much.
A bright smile appeared on Shen Yan's face.
"My turn!"
He rushed towards Zeng Yanqiu, who thought that with one palm strike, Shen Yan would be seriously injured, if not killed.
Unexpectedly, Shen Yan was still full of energy and refused to believe it, so he took action one after another.
But Shen Yan, who was already prepared, would not let him succeed so easily.
When the Nine Revolutions Golden Body Technique and the Dragon Elephant Prajna Sutra were used to their fullest extent, Zeng Yanqiu's moves could only cause him minor injuries.
With the circulation of internal energy, these injuries healed in a short time.
Zeng Yanqiu's expression finally changed, and he thought to himself, "Where did this Shen Yan come from!"
Shen Yan finally closed in and threw a heavy punch at Zeng Yanqiu. Sensing the terrifying force of the punch, Zeng Yanqiu dared not be careless and quickly dodged.
But Shen Yan's punches fell like raindrops, each one delivered with all his might.
It seemed as if its strength was inexhaustible.
This is all thanks to the "Longevity Manual" that I have such a long and powerful breath.
Zeng Yanqiu planned to wait until Shen Yan ran out of strength before continuing to defend and dodge.
Shen Yan attacked him for a full half hour, yet his aura remained unchanged.
On the contrary, he had already exhausted most of his internal energy, and it was he who couldn't hold on any longer.
Shen Yan had not learned any other boxing styles; he was currently using Taizu Changquan (a style of Chinese martial arts) against his opponents.
However, every punch he threw was perfectly natural, and Shen Yan was vaguely drawn into a strange feeling.
His body merged into the vast天地 (heaven and earth), and every punch was thrown subconsciously.
Many of the people present were martial arts experts, so they naturally understood Shen Yan's current state.
I couldn't help but blurt it out.
"Harmony between humanity and nature!"
Zheng Jun's eyes shone brightly. Having already reached the first rank, he was filled with envy, watching Shen Yan intently on the field, afraid of missing a single second.
If he can gain some insight, he might soon be able to advance to the level of a Grandmaster of the Innate Realm.
Resources may be behind Shen Moxuan's back, but this comprehension is definitely something he was born with.
He sighed inwardly, "This kid is incredibly lucky."
Little did they know that it was not difficult for Shen Yan to cultivate the "Longevity Technique" and achieve the unity of heaven and earth, thus attaining the state of harmony between heaven and man.
Zeng Yanqiu was in unbearable pain, and it became increasingly impossible to stop him.
Finally, an hour later, Zeng Yanqiu's internal energy was exhausted, and he was hit by Shen Yan's fist.
Zheng Jun cursed inwardly, "Zeng Yanqiu is such a waste, he was defeated so quickly."
Wang Xi was overjoyed to see Shen Yan's exceptional talent and jumped onto the martial arts stage.
With a face full of admiration, he said to Shen Yan, "Young man, our Directorate of Ceremonial Affairs needs someone like you. Come join our ranks, and I'll take you as my godson."
