Martial Master

This

Deng deng deng.

Stepping back a few steps, Wei Chi Cheng and Ling Zhong's bodies swayed, their faces turning ashen.

"It’s over."

The two nearly cried.

They never expected that the most undesired thing would actually happen. How would they go back and explain this to the Emperor and the Sect Master?

Boom!

Like a bolt from the blue, the two were momentarily stunned.

At this moment, not far away, the assessment was reaching its conclusion.

The six to seven hundred contestants who emerged registered their scores, and there were only a few left.

Among them, Qin Chen had only submitted the blood crystals from ten Earth Level mid-stage Strange Beasts.

Princess Zi Xun and the others were the same.

For them, as long as they could pass the first round of assessment, that was enough. As for the remaining blood crystals, having them on hand was still valuable. They could enhance martial artists' bloodline cultivation, be used for alchemy, or even sold for a good price.

There was no need to stand out too much and submit everything since they wouldn’t receive any extra rewards anyway.

"Hahaha, that’s great! Zi Xun, it's so good that you are safe!" After registering their scores, Qin Chen had just stepped out of the open space when Xiao Zhan, with an excited face, came up to greet them.

"Young Master Chen, Princess Zi Xun, we’ve been so worried these past few days, thinking that you two..."

Bai Jing also stepped forward, crying tears of joy.

"What nonsense! With Young Master Chen and Princess Zi Xun's cultivation, how could anything happen? Just look at that Cao..." Huang Zhan laughed on the side.

Before he could finish his sentence, he was abruptly interrupted by Bai Jing, "Shh! Why say all that? Young Master Chen and Princess Zi Xun are safe, and that’s enough."

"Right, right, I was just talking too much." Huang Zhan hurriedly defended himself, glancing nervously at the location of Wei Chi Cheng and Ling Zhong.

The fact that Cao Heng and Nian Wuji hadn’t come out had already spread here, and he had vaguely heard some rumors. If the people from Da Wei Country and Gui Xian Sect found out about Young Master Chen, they might not let it go easily.

Having experienced that life-and-death situation, Huang Zhan was completely convinced by Qin Chen and was wholeheartedly supportive.

"By the way, where's Qin Feng?"

At this moment, Xiao Zhan suddenly frowned.

The geniuses from Da Qi Country had gathered together after registering their scores, but there was no sign of Qin Feng among them.

"Yeah, where did Qin Feng go?"

"He is our Da Qi Country's number one genius, having broken through to the mid-stage Heaven Level in the Blood Spirit Pool. He wouldn’t be like Nian Wuji who hasn’t come out, right?"

"That shouldn’t be possible, right?"

Everyone was stunned.

"He's right over there."

Suddenly, Qin Chen raised his head and looked towards the last disciple registering.

That disciple had a gaunt appearance, a weak physique, and oddly enough, was missing an arm—a one-armed man.

"Qin Chen, you must be mistaken! Qin Feng doesn’t look like that."

Everyone knew that Qin Feng was exceptionally handsome and proud, with extraordinary aura, but this one-armed man was in a pathetic state, completely unrecognizable.

Qin Chen must have been seeing things! How could he make such a mistake?

Moreover, wasn’t Qin Feng his elder brother? Logically, if anyone could recognize him, it should be Qin Chen!

The crowd was dumbfounded, nearly going crazy.

"Hm?"

Xiao Zhan, however, frowned, as if noticing something amiss.

At this point, it was already noon, and the assessment personnel had recorded everyone's scores.

In the transmission open space, Wei Tianming returned, picked up the scorebook, and began announcing the names of those who passed the first round of assessment.

"In the first round survival assessment of the five nations in the northwest, a total of 1,943 people participated, and 236 passed. Those who passed the first round include, Ling Tian Sect’s You Qianxue, Xia Zun, Wu Tian..."
