Martial Master

“Bang!”

Falling heavily onto the open ground outside of Gu Nan City, the eliminated martial artist looked up in confusion at the black figure above him, feeling extremely frustrated.

Although he had been eliminated, Gu Nan City shouldn't have been in such a rush to teleport him out, leaving him completely unprepared.

“Qin Chen actually wasn’t the first one eliminated? This... what sheer luck!”

“Who is this guy? Among the Five Kingdoms, is there really someone whose control over true energy is even weaker than that of Qin Chen?”

“What a waste.”

The martial artists from the Great Wei Dynasty looked at the eliminated martial artist, their faces filled with frustration.

What they wanted to see the most was Qin Chen’s misfortune, yet it was ruined by such a guy. How could they not be angry?

Hearing their remarks, the eliminated individual felt even more depressed, nearly spitting blood.

But he didn’t dare to say a word, only retreating back to his own faction in dejection.

At this moment, inside Gu Nan City.

Once the previous person was eliminated, a beam of light descended immediately, locking onto another martial artist.

Under the command of the black figure, the martial artist entered the black stone chamber, beginning a new assessment.

There were only a hundred black stone chambers in total, yet the number of martial artists needing assessment exceeded six hundred.

Thus, whenever someone was eliminated, a new martial artist would enter a black stone chamber until everyone had completed their assessments.

“Since someone has been eliminated, then Qin Chen should be next, right?”

Everyone once again looked toward the black stone chamber where Qin Chen was located. To their frustration, the light indicating the third round was still lit above Qin Chen’s chamber, with nothing changing.

Confused, they wondered how Qin Chen, who couldn’t even control Human Level true energy, could have such a high mastery over Heaven Level true energy?

He hadn’t made a mistake up until now.

It was known that at this moment, more than sixty martial artists on the entire square had made mistakes, and this number was still rising.

Only the top geniuses of the Great Wei Dynasty, such as Hua Tian Du, Leng Wu Shuang, and Di Tian Yi, could last without any mistakes at all.

Bang, bang, bang...

Amidst everyone’s confusion, a series of roars echoed across the square as several more contestants were eliminated.

Once these individuals were eliminated, it was as if a domino effect had occurred, and the square was soon filled with a continuous series of booming sounds, as contestants continued to be eliminated one after another.

However, people didn’t pay attention to those eliminated contestants; their focus remained on the black stone chamber where Qin Chen was.

To their disappointment, the spirit lamp outside Qin Chen’s black stone chamber continued to glow with the signal for the third round, while others remained unchanged.

Finally, after nearly forty more eliminations, the spirit lamps above all the black stone chambers changed, indicating the fourth round. All remaining contestants then entered the fourth round.

“No way, Qin Chen actually passed the third round?”

“Am I seeing things?”

“Is Qin Chen’s luck really that good? This is ridiculous luck, and he even managed to pass the first round?”

Everyone was dumbfounded.

According to the requirements, for the first round, one only needed to reach the fourth round of the Martial Dao True Meaning to pass the assessment.

At this moment, out of the one hundred martial artists who participated in the assessment, only fifty-seven remained, and all fifty-seven entered the fourth round. This meant that these fifty-seven martial artists qualified for the second round of assessments in Gu Nan City.

“Perfectly entering the fourth round, why did Qin Chen make a mistake in the first round?”

Everyone stared blankly at the black stone chamber where Qin Chen was located, murmuring.

Previously, they had been continuously mocking Qin Chen, but now many felt an unsettling sense of something being off.
