“Weak, protect yourself; strong, care for the world.” Jiang Ming said, “Those who have the seven emotions and six desires are ultimately selfish. Protecting oneself and doing good deeds when capable is already a good person, a very, very good person.”
“Jiang Ming, I understand, thank you!”
The two chatted slowly.
Not long after, Master Song and others arrived. He solemnly looked at Jiang Ming and the other two, “Next, you three will represent Pingyang City in the competition. Don’t feel pressured, just do your best!”
“According to this year’s rules, only the top hundred in the province during the Sea Election stage can participate in the Provincial Examination.”
“In addition, during the period between the Sea Election and the Provincial Examination, those who break through to the Martial Realm of the Third Level can apply. After passing the assessment, they can join the Provincial Examination.”
“The top ten students in the Sea Election in the province can directly enter the finals. Other students will have round-robin matches, where they win one match and score one point, with no points for draws and losses. In the end, ten students will be selected to enter the finals.”
“The finals are also round-robin matches, with the same scoring system. The top five will participate in the United Federation AAartial Arts Grand Examination.”
“During the consecutive matches, there will be a five-minute break in between!”
“The rules are very simple!”
“Next, each of you will have a virtual war room, made of alloy. It will not be opened until the exam is over.”
“There will be me and several instructors outside, and cameras in the city will be monitored at all times to ensure that nothing unexpected happens.”
“First, take care of your personal hygiene, and then enter the virtual war room!”
“At nine o’clock, the Martial Exam will begin on time!”
“I wish you all good results!”
Master Song showed a smile.
Especially when facing Jiang Ming, he genuinely had high expectations.
Then, everyone went to the virtual war rooms.
As for personal hygiene?
By the time they reached the Martial Realm of the Third Level, there was very little waste in their bodies, and they could remain motionless for several days without any problems.
At Jiang Ming’s level, he could completely refine the impurities in his body and expel them through his meridians and pores.
The virtual war room was no longer a seat, but rather a luxurious version of a massage chair, where one can recline on it.
After checking, Master Song personally took everyone out and locked the door himself.
It would not be unlocked until it was over.
There were cameras in the room, and there were specially made glass windows on the side, through which the inside could be seen clearly.
Jiang Ming started the machine directly, and after the retina scan and gene authentication, his vision went black, and he arrived in a seat.
“Welcome Jiang Ming from Pingyang No.2 High School Class 34 to participate in the Tianzhong Province Martial Exam. In the United Federation Sea Election stage, you ranked first. In the Provincial Examination, you can participate directly in the finals.”
“You are now in the martial combat field for the Provincial Examination!”
“After the end of the preliminary round, you will be prompted to prepare for the finals.”
“During the finals, opponents will be randomly selected. Once selected, you will be immediately transported to the martial arts stage, with thirty seconds to prepare!”
A voice came to Jiang’s ear, and a screen appeared before him, scrolling information.
After reading it, Jiang looked at himself.
There was no change.
It was just like his real body.
The only difference was that there was no green seed in his Dantian.
The seed was strange, staying in his Dantian without absorbing Qi or triggering the power of his soul, remaining still and even unable to be removed.
“Is this fake or real? If it’s fake, then even the real one is a bit too much!” As Jiang Ming entered the Virtual Combat Network again, he couldn’t help but be shocked.
“I suspect it’s real, but it’s somewhat fake!” A soft voice came from the seat next to him, and as Jiang looked over, the voice smiled, “Jiang, I’m Tian Tian from No. 1 High School. Miss Qin, hello. Please take care of me, both of you!” “Hello, Tian Tian!” Jiang Ming greeted.
Tian Tian was not tall and had a sweet image, a bit inferior to Qin Zhiyan, but she looked very comfortable.
He also learned that she was an undisputed genius.
She had never entered the World Secret Realm and had cultivated to the
Martial Realm of the Third Level by her own efforts, making it among the top hundred in the province.
In terms of genius level, even Qin Zhiyan couldn’t compare, and it could be said that she was far behind.
“Have you both entered the World Secret Realm? Can you tell me about the situation inside? I want to try too, but my parents, my grandparents, my maternal grandparents, my uncles, my aunts, and others won’t let me go.” Tian Tian appeared innocent.
Jiang Ming was speechless.
That was really a big family. But was it appropriate to say this to an orphan? It sounded like boasting to him.
“It’s good not to go!” Jiang Ming said calmly, “The World Secret Realm I went to had not only monsters but also ghosts. For example, when I woke up after resting, there was a ghost face with blood and flesh in front of my eyes; and when I went to the bathroom, a ghost hand suddenly appeared from below.”
“In the eerie realm 1 experienced, there were human faces hanging from trees, a mass of wriggling hair appeared in wells, and crazy extensions; stone statues came to life, quietly appearing behind you. The most unexpected thing was when the house you were staying in suddenly came alive, and the food you ate turned into maggots.” Qin Zhiyan gave Tian Tian a glance, making her stories even more horrifying.
To find a sense of superiority in front of Jiang, just watch her scare you to death.
Tian Tian’s face turned paler and paler, and she couldn’t help but shudder.
Fear filled her eyes.
“Some World Secret Realms are indeed terrifying, with monsters, ghosts, and various demons. If you’re faint-hearted, you may even die of fright!” A young man stood up from the front, turned around, and gave Jiang Ming a fist salute, “Provincial City, Long Aotian, I have met Brother Jiang.”
“Long Aotian?” Jiang Ming showed a strange expression.
“Well, my parents named me that, and I’m quite embarrassed too!” Long Aotian felt helpless, then stared at Jiang Ming and said, “I thought I could take first place in the province during the Sea Election stage, but I didn’t expect you to surpass me and take first place in the United Federation. Impressive, but Brother Jiang, I’m not too bad either. Three days ago, I killed my way through a martial world. This time, if you want to win first place, it won’t be so easy!”
“Little Dragon, enough!” A girl next to him, wearing a blue battle suit and a single ponytail, looked disdainful, “Jiang made it to the Sky Tower Sixth Layer, are you confident now? Besides, it’s been seven days since then, has he entered the World Secret Realm again?”
“Lan Xin, ranked third in the Sea Election in the province, has met Brother Jiang!” She folded her hands toward this side, very serious.
She didn’t bother with Tian Tian anymore.
People around also greeted them one after another.
Strong individuals will always be respected, even more so for an orphan who has reached the pinnacle level. The hardships they went through can be somewhat imagined.
If the situation were reversed, how many of them could accomplish this?
As they chatted casually, nine o’clock arrived, and they all received a prompt tone.
The Provincial Examination began.
Everyone sat up straight, including Jiang Ming..
