Grinding Cultivation Toward Martial Saint-Chapter 1397 - 241: Class A, the Holy Emperor’s Bestowal of Marriage!
校场上.
Mingxin walked straight to the fifth tripod.
He grabbed the foot of the tripod with one hand, and his facial muscles suddenly tightened.
The massive tripod, previously lifted successfully by only one person, was instantly uprooted by him.
"So strong!!" Yan Youjiao stood beside Jiang Ning, shocked as he watched this scene.
Even though he just mustered all his strength, entering the Martial Arts Fifth Grade, he still couldn’t lift the first tripod.
But in the school ground, Mingxin was holding the foot of the tripod with one hand, directly lifting the fifth tripod.
The gap between them could no longer be measured by reason.
On the other side.
On the high platform at the north of the school ground.
"As expected of the Buddha’s son from Vajra Temple, his strength is truly astonishing!" the Third Prince exclaimed.
"Brother, how heavy is this fifth Mountain and River Tripod?" a pretty princess asked among the royal siblings.
"It weighs as much as a mountain!" the Third Prince replied.
"Brother, how heavy is a mountain?" the princess asked again.
"The weight of a mountain is the weight of this tripod!" the Third Prince answered.
Princess: "..."
...
In the center of the school ground.
After five breaths, Mingxin held the foot of the tripod with one hand and slowly put down the Mountain and River Tripod in his hand.
As the massive tripod settled steadily, this examination came to an end.
The examiner nodded at this, continuing to call the next warrior’s name on the list.
Moments later.
"Next, Wan Jianyi." The examiner looked at the roster in his hand, his gaze turning to the warrior viewing stand, resting on the figure standing tall like an unsheathed sharp sword, before calling out the name.
At this moment, Wan Jianyi’s expression did not change.
"Senior Brother, good luck!!" On the stand of the school ground, a young man stood up, waving both hands at Wan Jianyi.
Seeing this, Wan Jianyi slightly raised the corners of his mouth, smiling at the young man, his junior brother.
Then he stepped forward, and a flash of sword light burst forth.
As the sword light dispersed, he was already standing before the fifth tripod.
At this moment, he imitated Mingxin, grasping the foot of the tripod with one hand.
"Lift!"
He shouted loudly.
Until now, only five people had managed to complete a full round of examination with the fifth tripod, which rose at his command.
Just as the tripod reached halfway, his expression subtly changed.
Whoosh—
Countless sword qi suddenly erupted from the pores around his body, his upper garment turning to tattered fabric, scattering like flying swords.
At this moment, the massive tripod was also lifted high above his head.
Underneath the calm expression, his muscles were tightly wound.
...
On the northern viewing stand.
"Really trying to keep face!" The eldest princess watched the scene on the school ground with a chuckle.
"Sister, Wan Jianyi, after all, is the first on the Heavenly List. As a Sword Cultivator, it’s only natural that he’s not as strong in power as Master Mingxin!" Fifth Prince Ji Mingyuan said.
"It’s indeed natural!" The eldest princess nodded and then laughed; "But forcing himself like this, on the contrary, comes off as a Lower."
...
In the center of the school ground.
Just after three breaths, Wan Jianyi then slowly lowered the Mountain and River Tripod that was held high above his head.
Accompanying the steady landing of the Mountain and River Tripod on the ground, he also secretly let out a long sigh of relief.
The examiner at this moment nodded, picking up the roster in his hand.
"Next, Yang Sishi."
"..."
Time passed, and more warriors came forward, attempting to lift the five Mountain and River Tripods placed in the center of the school ground.
Every warrior knew that to achieve Class A in this weightlifting round, they must lift the fifth Mountain and River Tripod.
This is the necessary condition.
Only by achieving Class A evaluation can they qualify to compete for Martial Champion.
But among the candidates, anyone who could lift the fourth Mountain and River Tripod would attempt to lift the fifth.
Yet among all the warriors, more than half had participated in the weightlifting, and only seven could lift the fifth Mountain and River Tripod.
"Next, Jiang Ning!"
When this name was called by the examiner, countless eyes converged on Jiang Ning.
"Lord Jiang, good luck, I believe in you!!" Yan Youjiao made a fist at Jiang Ning, full of admiration.
Standing in this place, from where he came, only Jiang Ning was beside him.
Hearing this, Jiang Ning smiled at Yan Youjiao.
Then he walked toward the school ground.
Step by step, he came straight to the fifth massive tripod.
On the northern viewing stand.
Ji Mingyue clenched the hem of her clothes slightly, feeling a bit nervous.
Although Jiang Ning was named third on the Heavenly List, even she did not know the true strength of Jiang Ning at present.
At this moment.
A gentle breeze blew by.
A silhouette in a white dress appeared on the previously vacant seat in the viewing stand.
"How come the State Preceptor has leisure to attend the school ground today?" The man on the dragon throne noticed this and spoke.
Su Qingying said, "Been in the residence for too long, came out to unwind."
While speaking, her eyes were locked firmly on Jiang Ning in the center of the school ground.
The man on the dragon throne said no more.
The attention on the viewing stand split into two directions.
Some watched the newly appeared Su Qingying, their expressions showing slight surprise.
Among the mysterious figures in the Royal Capital, this Great Xia State Preceptor was one.
Bearing the appearance and demeanor of a seventeen-year-old girl, her height also matched.
But holding the position of Great Xia State Preceptor, no one dared to underestimate her.
Before this, the vacant position of Great Xia State Preceptor had even invited the world’s second-best, the Yellow Heaven Taoist with millions of followers.
From this, the prowess of the State Preceptor is evident.
And this incredibly mysterious State Preceptor seemingly emerged from nowhere, as for her true identity, they knew only the person on the dragon throne had knowledge.
Because Su Qingying becoming the Great Xia State Preceptor was by the invitation of the person on the dragon throne.
