I can infinitely improve my spiritual attributes

"Kill!"

The young Marquis Bei Mo released the Golden Light Spirit Sword Qi and Blood Phase, and as soon as the sword moved, it immediately burst out with endless sword energy.

Even the air in front of Zhou Shan was split into thousands of strands, each of which was thin and long, extremely sharp, and all the filaments were like sharp sword energy, slashing towards Zhou Shan.

Swish...

The sword energy burst out by the young Marquis Bei Mo was like a comet passing through the sky, and the extremely terrifying sharp energy seemed to be able to tear the void, and it almost instantly reached Zhou Shan.

The sharp sword energy was like a thorn, covering every inch of Zhou Shan's skin, as if to chop him into powder.

"Kui Niu Body!"

Zhou Shan's face was calm. When the young Marquis Bei Mo used the Golden Light Spirit Sword Qi and Blood Phase, he also used the Qi and Blood Phase at the first time. The Kui Niu Phase appeared, and then turned into a piece of armor flashing with thunder power and attached to his body.

This is another change of the Kui Niu Phase besides the Kui Niu Fist, the Kui Niu Body.

Bang, bang, bang--

The terrifying sword energy instantly hit Zhou Shan.

However, these sword energies were blocked by Zhou Shan's Kui Niu body.

"Kui Niu Step!"

Zhou Shan's figure flashed, as if he had turned into a flash of lightning, with an extremely terrifying force, he directly tore the endless sword energy in front of him, and then rushed towards the young Marquis Bei Mo.

"Long Rainbow Sunset!"

The young Marquis Bei Mo used the killing move contained in the Qi and Blood Phase.

In the void, the extremely terrifying sword energy combined together and turned into a golden long rainbow. Where the sword light passed, the air continued to explode, and waves of huge waves were set off.

Suddenly, Zhou Shan also felt a huge wave coming towards him, one wave higher than the other, containing a terrible power, as if it was going to rush down the sun in the sky.

Buzz——

Zhou Shan looked calm, looking at the sword energy that was rushing to the sky like a huge wave. He flashed and almost instantly swept behind the young Marquis Beimo, making the huge wave of sword energy fall into the air.

With the blessing of Kui Niu Xiang and the control of the power of thunder, he not only improved his attack power, but also his speed, explosive power, etc., which were also improved several times.

"Where are you running, sword energy cage!"

The young Marquis Beimo shouted, and the golden light spirit sword blood phase on his head quickly rotated and split, one into two, two into four, four into eight, eight into sixteen... After a while, sixty-four golden giant swords were formed, and then fell on Zhou Shan's head with the force of thunder.

As soon as these sixty-four golden giant swords appeared, the entire arena was filled with an invisible sword energy, cutting everything. Zhou Shan had a premonition in his heart, that is, no matter where he hid, he would be covered by these sixty-four golden giant swords.

The limitation of the ring venue, to some extent, limited Zhou Shan's speed.

Since he couldn't hide, he didn't hide.

Zhou Shan's whole body was covered by the Kui Niu body. Little Marquis Bei Mo only displayed a blood phase, and there was no way he could break his Kui Niu body. At the same time, Zhou Shan also displayed the sword control technique, and the Green Water Sword came out of the sheath and slashed towards Little Marquis Bei Mo.

"Hiss!"

At this moment, another blood phase appeared above Little Marquis Bei Mo's head.

This was a jade toad with six eyes and a chill all over its body. The chill surged like water and merged with the sword energy around it, blocking the Green Water Sword.

Moreover, as Little Marquis Bei Mo displayed the second blood phase, combined with the first blood phase, the sword energy around it was not only sharp but also contained a chill that froze everything, and its power increased greatly in an instant.

The cold air seemed to penetrate everywhere. Under the invasion of the cold air, Zhou Shan felt that the armor transformed from the Kui Niu on his body was showing signs of being frozen.

"White Bone Lotus!"

Zhou Shan's mind moved, and the white bone lotus in the spiritual sea flew out and automatically flew to his feet, lifted him up, and then emitted a layer of light curtain to resist the erosion of the cold air.

"This is... the six-eyed jade toad phase, the young Marquis Bei Mo is serious."

"The young Marquis Bei Mo really has created two blood and qi phases."

"If Zhou Shan has no other means, I'm afraid the winner will be decided soon."

"..."

Many of the candidates below are looking at the young Marquis Bei Mo and Zhou Shan.

Of course, the other two arenas, the battle between the young master Yan Jingyu from the Dingguo Mansion and the young master Chu Hongru from the Chuguo Mansion, and the battle between the core disciple Chang Feihong of Xingdou Dao and another person, also attracted a lot of candidates.

"That's all you have. If that's the case, then there's no need for me to play with you."

Facing the second Qi and Blood Phase performed by the young Marquis Bei Mo, Zhou Shan's face was calm and unhurried.

In a flash, the soul in the spiritual sea of ​​consciousness circulated the magic power, and the Taoist runes imprinted on the soul glowed. Then these Taoist runes immediately condensed into the Yin Shen Dharma Phase and broke out of the shell.

Two Yin Shen Dharma Phases appeared above Zhou Shan's head.

One was the Medicine Master Liuli Guang Wang Phase, emitting endless brilliance and vitality.

The other Yin Shen Dharma Phase was the Corpse Demon King Phase, which was surrounded by extremely terrible corpse gas and poison.

In addition to the two Yin Shen Dharma Phases, there was also a bright moon and a big sun flying out of Zhou Shan's sea of ​​consciousness, surrounding Zhou Shan's body. The big sun drew the energy of the sun's fire, and a sea of ​​fire descended, instantly driving away the cold air around.

With the appearance of two Yin God Dharma images, a terrifying pressure of the soul immediately spread out, and everyone felt that their spirits were subdued, suppressed, and even unable to control their bodies.

"What, Zhou Shan actually condensed two Yin God Dharma images."

"In addition to the two Yin God Dharma images, he also condensed two large talismans, which is equivalent to completing the condensation of half of the Dharma image."

"This is Zhou Shan's true strength."

"Two Yin God Dharma images, plus the casting of a blood phase, and the condensed two large talismans, such strength is enough to fight with a warrior who has cast four blood phases."

"Such a genius actually appeared outside the capital."

"Little Marquis Bei Mo, lost!"

"..."

Seeing Zhou Shan's unreserved display of his cultivation in the immortal way, all the candidates knew that Little Marquis Bei Mo was bound to lose.

Not to mention Little Marquis Bei Mo who only cast two blood phases, even a genius who cast three blood phases is not Zhou Shan's opponent, the realm difference is too big.

Unless they have a fifth-level spiritual weapon in their hands.

However, although the martial arts imperial examination does not prohibit the use of treasures and spiritual weapons, they cannot use spiritual weapons that exceed their own cultivation. For example, if they are only a third-level internal training warrior, they can only use third-level treasures.

If they are fourth-level blood exchange warriors, they can use fourth-level spiritual weapons, but not fifth-level and sixth-level spiritual weapons.

Otherwise, those disciples from the royal and noble families, each holding a fifth-level spiritual weapon in their hands, then the competition is not about their own strength, but about the foundation behind their respective families, which loses its meaning.

"Heavenly Wood Divine Needle!"

"Poisonous Handprint!"

"White Bone Demon Bottle!"

"Moonlight Sword Qi!"

"The Sun Burns the Sky!"

"Sword Control, Giant Sword Style!"

"Kui Niu Roar!"

In an instant, Zhou Shan used the five major Taoist arts, as well as the sword control and the martial arts contained in the Kui Niu phase.

Roar——

The Kui Niu roar shook the heaven and earth, and a terrible sound wave burst out and blasted towards the young Marquis Bei Mo.

The five great Dao arts were so powerful that they covered the sky and the sun, emitting an extremely terrifying aura. Young Marquis Bei Mo instantly felt a threat of death. He knew that he could not resist the five great Dao arts.

If he held on, even if he did not die, he would be seriously injured, or even in danger of his life.

Because the light of the soul-destroying spirit released by the white bone magic bottle in the five great Dao arts was specifically designed to kill the soul. Once the soul was hit, he would have no choice but to die.

And the dead gas poison contained in the poisonous handprint would also pollute the soul.

"I admit defeat!"

Although Young Marquis Bei Mo was unwilling in his heart, he still admitted defeat.

It didn't matter if he lost this time, he could continue to compete for the position of the next three thousand generals. If he was seriously injured, he would have no chance to take the martial arts examination this time.

If it was just the fame of the martial arts examiner, then it would be almost impossible for him to compete for the position of heir.

Only by obtaining the title of Wu Jinshi, he is qualified to compete with other brothers for the position of heir, and the cultivation resources given to him by the Marquisate will be further improved.

The title of Wu Jinshi is very important to him.

Therefore, even if he admits defeat, he will lose some face, and the young Marquis Beimo can only do so. He is a young Marquis and looks noble, but the competition in the Marquisate is also very fierce.

"Disperse!"

At this time, the first-rank university scholar of the Hanlin Academy on the reviewing stand slowly spoke.

Suddenly, Zhou Shan felt an extremely majestic power coming.

In front of this power, he was no different from an ant, and the five great Dao techniques on the arena also disappeared in an instant, as if they had never appeared.

The Wanling Soul-Destroying Divine Light flew back to the White Bone Demon Bottle.

"What a terrible power!"

At this time, Zhou Shan felt that great power, just like facing the vastness of heaven and earth, which was difficult to match.

Facing the Grandmaster of the Fifth Realm, although he was stronger than him, Zhou Shan could barely feel the depth of the Grandmaster of the Fifth Realm. However, for the existence of the Sixth Realm, in his spiritual perception, it was like a bottomless abyss, unfathomable.

He had just condensed two Yin Gods, and it was still a long way from reaching the perfection of the Fourth Realm. The difference between him and the Sixth Realm was too big, like the difference between heaven and earth. Ants naturally could not understand the greatness of the dragon.

"0054 Zhou Shan wins!"

The deputy examiner on the side immediately announced the result of the competition.

Little Marquis Bei Mo jumped and came to the bottom of the ring.

Zhou Shan continued to stay on the ring and became the new champion.

At this time, he had already won one game. As long as he won four more games, he could get the position of the general of five thousand people.

"Zhou Shan won one game and became the champion. Is there anyone to challenge him?"

On the ring, the deputy examiner looked at the candidates below and said in a deep voice.

However, after a few breaths, no one responded.

Zhou Shan stood on the stage. He did not retract his Yin God Dharma Image and Qi and Blood Image at this time. Above his head, Medicine Master Liuli Light King Image, Corpse Demon King Dharma Image, and Kui Niu Image stood tall, emitting amazing momentum.

In addition to the two Yin God Dharma Images and one Qi and Blood Image, there was also a bright moon and a big sun, which also revolved around Zhou Shan, making him look even more sacred.

Zhou Shan showed all his strength. If he wanted to challenge, he had to at least forge three Qi and Blood phases. Otherwise, going on stage would be a humiliation for himself. Even if he had forged three Qi and Blood phases, he would probably not be Zhou Shan's opponent.

Therefore, among the candidates present, even if someone had forged three Qi and Blood phases, they would not choose Zhou Shan, who was a tough nut to crack, but would choose to challenge the champions of the other two arenas.

Yan Jingyu had forged two Qi and Blood phases, and Chang Feihong had only condensed two Yin Shen Dharma phases. The candidates who had forged three Qi and Blood phases would definitely win if they challenged them, so naturally they would not dare to challenge Zhou Shan head-on.

Even if they wanted to decide the winner, it would not be now, but when they entered the Japanese country, to see who had made more contributions. Fighting to the death on the arena was the most meaningless.

"One last question, is there anyone who steps forward to challenge? If no one steps forward to challenge within ten breaths, then Zhou Shan wins and the position of the commander of five thousand men will be given to him."

After waiting for a few more breaths and seeing that no one stepped forward, the deputy examiner immediately said after receiving the instruction.

"Ten, nine, eight, seven, six..."

After the deputy examiner finished speaking, he began to count down.

"One."

Soon, the deputy examiner counted from ten to one.

"Candidate No. 0054 Zhou Shan successfully defended the ring!"

Seeing that no one stepped forward to challenge, the deputy examiner immediately announced that Zhou Shan successfully defended the ring.

After successfully defending the ring, Zhou Shan naturally obtained the position of the commander of five thousand men, and could command five thousand men and horses, with a rank of the sixth rank.

"Brother Zhou, congratulations!"

"Congratulations, you have obtained the position of a general of 5,000 men. In the next assessment, as long as you don't perform poorly, you will definitely be able to obtain the title of a military scholar."

"With Brother Zhou's cultivation, he is at least a second-class scholar, or even a first-class scholar."

"If you can obtain the title of a first-class scholar and focus on developing in the court, then at the very least you will be the lord of a prefecture in the future. Even if you have help, it is not impossible to be a first-class official."

"..."

Zhou Shan walked down the stage, and the candidates from Da Cang County immediately stepped forward to congratulate him.

Among the candidates from Da Cang County was Bai Qichao, the third son of the Bai family.

In Baisha County, only Zhou Shan and Bai Qichao obtained the title of a military scholar. As for Lin Rong, the young master of Leiming Martial Arts Hall, he was not very lucky during the joint examination, so he did not pass the joint examination and only had the title of a martial scholar.

If it were in the past, Bai Qichao would have wanted to compete with Zhou Shan.

But now, he had no thoughts in his mind. The gap between the two was too big. His cultivation was only at the third level, while Zhou Shan had reached the fourth level, and both martial arts and immortality had reached the fourth level.

In the court, the highest official of the Bai family was the assistant garrison of the fifth-rank coastal defense camp of Donghai Prefecture, and Zhou Shan was now a general of 5,000 people, and his rank reached the sixth rank, only one level lower than the fifth rank.

Although this official position was only temporary, Zhou Shan passed the martial arts imperial examination and obtained the title of martial arts scholar. Even if he was transferred to another place, his new official position would be at least the sixth rank.

If he was a first-class scholar, the new official position would only be higher, not lower.

For the candidates who came forward to congratulate him, Zhou Shan clasped his fists and returned the greetings one by one.

"I am Li Cheng (Wang Qing), meet Brother Zhou Shan."

At this time, Li Cheng and Wang Qing, the core disciples of the White Bone Dao, also came to Zhou Shan to greet him.

"Are you two disciples of the White Bone Dao?"

Sensing the familiar aura on the other party, Zhou Shan guessed their identities.

"Yes, we are the core disciples of the White Bone Dao." Li Cheng nodded, and then said: "We came here to ask, which senior did Brother Zhou Shan inherit the White Bone Dao from?"

"The White Bone Dao inheritance I received was from a true disciple named Xue. Because of the long time, the handwriting left by Senior Xue has become blurred." Zhou Shan said: "But I know that when Senior Xue encountered an accident, it was Jing Zhengnian, and I still have the remains of Senior Xue on me. Senior Xue asked me to send it back to the sect."

"A true disciple named Xue!"

"Jing Zhengnian, that was more than a hundred years ago."

Hearing this, Li Cheng and Wang Qing also showed surprise in their eyes.

Especially what Zhou Shan said, the inheritance obtained was from a true disciple, which is higher than the status of ordinary five-level elders.

You know, their masters are just ordinary five-level elders, and their grandmasters are only true disciples for more than a hundred years. If the inheritance Zhou Shan obtained really came from a true disciple more than a hundred years ago, then he is of the same generation as their grandmasters, and Zhou Shan is of the same generation as their masters.

In the nine major sects of Tiansheng Sect, the number of true disciples in each sect is limited, and it will not exceed ten. After reaching ten, there will basically be no new true disciples.

If other disciples want to be promoted to true disciples, they can only challenge the original true disciples, or if a true disciple dies, a new true disciple will replace him.

Therefore, the true disciples in the nine major sects can be said to be quasi-high-level.

"Jing Zhengnian, the true disciple surnamed Xue, we will send a message back to the headquarters to confirm this matter." Wang Qing said in a deep voice: "If there is really such a person, then someone will take Brother Zhou Shan back to the headquarters, and Brother Zhou Shan's identity will also be properly arranged."

"Understood, then I'll trouble you two."

Zhou Shan nodded.

"No trouble, this is what we should do."

Li Cheng and Wang Qing chatted with Zhou Shan.

With the talent Zhou Shan showed, as long as the headquarters confirmed his identity, he might be able to become a true disciple in the future, and his future is limitless, so while the other party is still in the "insignificant" position, they should build a good relationship in advance.

In addition, the two have decided that after competing for the position of the general of a thousand people, they are also ready to work together with Zhou Shan. With their strength, it is a bit difficult to compete for the position of the general of three thousand people, but it is not a big problem to compete for the position of the general of a thousand people.

Time passed little by little.

It was the next day.

The second stage of the assessment of the competition also ended.

After a day of rest.

The two hundred candidates who passed the competition boarded the steel battleship of the East China Sea Navy and went to Dongying.

The nearest prefecture of Daqian to Dongying is Donghai Prefecture. If you start from the port of Donghai Prefecture and reach Dongying, if you go in a straight line without taking a detour, it is only more than 1,600 miles away.

At the speed of the steel battleship, it can advance about 80 miles in half an hour, and a distance of more than 1,600 miles can be reached in ten hours.

On the steel battleship, in addition to a group of candidates, there are four chief examiners from the capital.

These four chief examiners are only great masters who have reached the sixth realm of martial arts, or great masters who have reached the sixth realm of immortality. With them on the steel battleship, even if there are some powerful monsters in the sea, they dare not show up when they smell the breath of such existence.

The steel battleship of the East China Sea Navy has no obstacles along the way and arrived at the country of Japan smoothly.

Moreover, one state of the country of Japan has been occupied by the East China Sea Navy.

The state occupied by the East China Sea Navy belongs to Toyama State of the Southern Dynasty of the country of Japan.

The country of Japan is now in the midst of war and has been divided into the North and South Dynasties. The two sides are like water and fire, and they will not stop until they die. Even if the East China Sea Navy of the Daqian Kingdom attacks, the North and South Dynasties have no intention of reconciliation.

In other words, the attack of the North Dynasty on the South Dynasty is more fierce.

Therefore, the Southern Dynasty of Dongying is now under attack from both the Northern Dynasty and the East China Sea Navy.

The steel warship docked, and the candidates were assigned different troops according to the official positions they obtained in the previous skill assessment.

Zhou Shan was a general of 5,000 people, so he was directly assigned 5,000 troops.

In addition to the 5,000 troops, many candidates who obtained the positions of lieutenant and centurion were also assigned to Zhou Shan. Lieutenants and centurions were not qualified to act alone, and they all needed to obey Zhou Shan's command.

If you want to lead troops alone, you need at least 1,000 generals.

"Brother Zhou Shan, which county are we going to attack?"

"We have received the message from our master. This assessment requires us to fully cooperate with you and completely obey your orders to help you win the top position."

After the troops were assigned, Li Cheng and Wang Qing, the core disciples of the White Bone Dao, found Zhou Shan, and their attitudes were much more respectful than before.

Since the master wanted them to fully cooperate with Zhou Shan, he must have confirmed Zhou Shan's identity, or at least the identity of the true disciple surnamed Xue, so their master would give orders.

Zhou Shan would naturally not refuse this.

After all, these two people are also cultivators who have reached the fourth realm, and they are also generals of a thousand people. They are still helpful for attacking the county. Although the strength of Dongying is far inferior to that of Daqian, it is a country after all, and there are still many strong people.

Soldiers against soldiers, generals against generals.

The strong men who have reached the fifth and sixth realms in the Southern Dynasty of Dongying are naturally dealt with by court masters. The assessment for these candidates is to attack some of the following counties. Whoever occupies more counties will naturally have the greatest credit.

However, there are still some masters who have reached the fourth realm in these counties. Now that Li Cheng and Wang Qing, the two core disciples of the White Bone Dao, have joined, and they completely obey their orders, this is also a great help for Zhou Shan.
