Episode 18

Today's test was a shock to everyone. They never expected Chen Xuan to pass the test on the testing stone in such a remarkable way, leaving everyone who had insulted and looked down on him feeling like they had been slapped in the face.

The trash that everyone despised used his strength to prove himself to the world, but the way he did it was simply extraordinary.

In the square, everyone stared at Chen Xuan with a mixture of expressions: strange, shocked, surprised, amazed, envious, and hateful. But there was no more disdain like before, no more contempt.

But Chen Xuan, who had become the center of attention, only had an indifferent look on his face. He just stood there casually with his arms crossed, acting aloof and relaxed, as if what had just happened had nothing to do with him.

Soon, after the shock that Chen Xuan had delivered, the stone monument test resumed. This time, more participants passed. Out of 250 people, a total of 150 managed to pass, fifty of whom had a cultivation level of the Eighth and Ninth Stages of Body Refining. Meanwhile, the one hundred participants who failed could only show expressions of disappointment and regret.

Chen Fan and Chen Jiang also passed the stone monument test with a cultivation level of the Eighth Stage of Body Refining. This result was certainly very satisfying. However, compared to Chen Xuan's previous performance, Chen Fan and Chen Jiang's light seemed to dim.

After the first round of the strength test was completed, all the participants who had passed were taken to the arena. Here, the second round would begin.

In the arena, one by one, the participants were asked to take a wooden token from inside a wooden box. When it was Chen Xuan's turn, he got a wooden token with the number 4 written on it.

After everyone had received their wooden tokens, Wang Nian said, "Participants who got number one, immediately go up to the arena!"

Immediately, five people went up into the battle ring. One of these people was Chen Oyu, whether by coincidence or not. Chen Xuan noticed that except for the four people standing beside Chen Oyu who had a cultivation level at the Eighth Stage, everyone else in the battle ring actually only had a Body Refining strength level of the Seventh Stage.

"The rules of this test are very simple. Everyone must try to force the other participants out of the battle ring, and the last five participants remaining inside the ring after the time of one incense stick has run out will qualify for the next round," said Wang Nian.

The faces of all the people inside the battle ring immediately turned serious, they looked at each other cautiously and warily.

"Begin!" Wang Nian lit an incense stick and stuck it into the wall, signaling that the battle had begun.

"Haha, you four, fight! I'll wait. Don't let this trash get near me!" Chen Oyu glanced at the four young men beside him and said arrogantly. The four were lackeys who often followed him around.

"Yes, Your Highness!" The four nodded, then formed a circle around Chen Oyu, protecting him from the other participants.

The participants in the ring were furious with Chen Oyu's attitude, but they didn't dare to voice their objections. This was because Chen Oyu's status was that of a prince. If Chen Oyu got angry, even if they passed, their lives in the palace would suffer. So they let Chen Oyu relax while they began to strategize their battles in their heads.

"This Chen Oyu is truly trash!" Chen Xuan glanced at Chen Oyu in the battle ring with disgust. Relying on his identity as a prince to oppress ordinary people was the behavior of a coward. However, the rules in this second test only required that one remove the other participants and survive in the arena until time ran out. They weren't required to fight.

Chen Xuan also saw that Wang Nian only closed his eyes and didn't do anything, seeming to allow Chen Oyu's behavior. This treatment was clearly prearranged for Chen Oyu, deliberately placing those four people in the same battle ring so they could protect him.

"Attack!" In the battle ring, someone suddenly dashed out and attacked another participant. Because of that young man's movement, the other participants also immediately took action. A brutal battle quickly broke out inside the battle ring.

One by one, the weaker people in the battle ring were thrown out of the ring, kicking up clouds of dust into the air.

Soon, only five people remained in the battle ring. Except for Chen Oyu, the appearance of the other four was very messy. They had many wounds on their bodies and could barely stand.

"Tsk, useless bunch!" Chen Oyu snorted and then walked out of the battle arena.

The four people were furious, but they could only swallow their complaints and drag their exhausted bodies out of the battle ring. Although they were Eighth Stage Body Refining practitioners, being attacked by many people had also left them extremely weary.

"Participants with token number two, immediately enter the battle ring," Wang Nian announced.

Immediately, the people with the number two tokens also rushed into the battle ring. One of these people was Chen Fan.

Chen Xuan also noticed that Chen Fan had two guards by his side, and their strength was at the Eighth Stage. Meanwhile, the other participants who joined the battle ring were only at the Seventh Stage of Body Refining.

And as Chen Xuan expected, the battle soon ended, leaving five people in the battle ring. Besides Chen Fan and his two lackeys, the other two young men were Chen Rao and the yellow-haired youth.

Chen Xuan shook his head in disappointment when he saw this arrangement. It was clear that the princes were deliberately being passed in this round. The guards protecting the princes were clearly sent by the concubines so their sons could easily pass to the next round. King Chen Wang also seemed to turn a blind eye to the matter. After all, as long as the concubines didn't cause too much trouble, he didn't really care.

The concubines, of course, took this Strength Assessment very seriously. They would do anything to ensure their sons' victory. This was because the rewards for those who ranked in the top five were a thousand Qi Crystals, four Qi Collector Pills, and the qualification to enter the Cultivation Method Pavilion and choose any Cultivation Method. Most importantly, whoever won this year's Strength Assessment would have the qualification to contend for the throne in the future.

Qi Collector Pills were very important for those at the Ninth Stage of Body Refining because they could increase the success rate of Ninth Stage Body Refining practitioners in breaking through to Qi Condensation. The concubines were certainly very eager for their sons to obtain these Qi Collector Pills.

As for Cultivation Methods, they were even more crucial. Every practitioner who broke through to Qi Condensation was required to cultivate a suitable Cultivation Method because the Qi in their body had transformed into True Qi and required a Cultivation Method to absorb the energy of Heaven and Earth.

And what was most important was the throne. Every concubine, even the Queen, wanted their child to become the heir to the throne and rule the northern district.
