ne that awakened, really is Rank One""Or perhaps something even higher, a divine bloodline"Su Bai stared at Su Xin who was tending to his injuries, his eyes narrowed slightly.He only dared to think ab...While the royal hunt took place within the imperial city, the initial screening round was conducted in various states and counties.

Even the preliminary selection has a threshold.

First, it must be the realm of the sea.

Second, under forty years old.

A generalized sea realm, normally lives to be one hundred and twenty or so. At forty, it's still considered quite young.

In the county governor's mansion of Yongning County, on a martial arts training ground.

Dozens of Haimeng realm experts who meet the requirements gather here.

Some acquaintances were still chatting and exchanging pleasantries.

“Kang Jing, it’s been a long time! The one beside you is your younger brother, Kang Xuan, right I heard that this younger brother of yours is also extraordinary, his cultivation has reached the peak of the Huanghai stage, and his strength is also very powerful. This time in the selection, if both of you can pass… Two brothers going to the Imperial City Hunt together would be a wonderful story.”

"So many powerful cultivators in the Huaihai realm within Yongning County, but only ten are able to pass the preliminary selection assessment. Even I don't have absolute confidence in passing, as for my younger brother, he's still far off. He came today just to join in the festivities."

A pair of brothers were surrounded by a crowd in the center.

The two were about the same height. The older brother was noticeably more muscular, while the younger brother was thinner.

These two brothers are quite well-known within Yongning County, especially the elder brother Kang Jing. It is said that he already has the strength to clear the first floor of the Dragon Searching Tower.

To know, in the entire Yongning County Huanghai Realm, there are less than ten people who have passed the first level of the Searching Dragon Pagoda, most of whom are over forty years old, such as the old city lord of Beihantan City.

And those under forty who have passed the first level of the Dragon's Tower are few and far between.

Kang Jing, if he truly has the strength to pass the first level of the Seeking Dragon Tower, then among these ten people who passed the preliminary selection, he must be one of them.

“Brother, you’re too modest. Your cultivation has already reached the peak of the Huanghai realm, and recently you've also grasped a hint of the Dao. If you were to challenge the Dragon Tower, you would definitely be able to pass the first level. Among the ten people who passed the preliminary selection this time, you're definitely one of them, and you might even be the strongest." Kang Xuan whispered to his older brother.

"Low-key, a bit more restrained is good. However, Jing smiled and then said seriously, "Xiao Xuan, in the preliminary round later, you absolutely mustn't underestimate it. With your skills, give it your all, as long as luck isn't particularly bad, you should be able to get a hunting quota."

"Well, I know that the focus is on key points in Kangxi.

"

He also longed to pass the preliminary selection and go on the royal hunt with his older brother.

After all, his older brother is 37 years old. He participated in this year's hunt, and the next hunt will be in five years. His older brother won't be eligible to participate when he turns 40.

At this time, a figure walked into the County Magistrate's Mansion.

"Dragon Blade!"

"It's him!"

Dozens of cultivators at the Hǎi stage gathered in the training ground, all looking at the newcomer.

"Dragon Blade!" Kang Jing's eyes narrowed as well.

Among the cultivators under forty years old in Yongning County who had reached the Huanghai Realm, there were few that he feared. This dragon sword was undoubtedly the strongest among them.

Seven years ago, he had already cleared the first level of the Dragon Searching Tower. In terms of strength alone, among the cultivators below forty years old in the Huaihai Realm within Yongning County, he should be the strongest. Kang Jing thought to himself.

Long Dao had just stepped onto the martial arts arena when someone immediately approached him and led him into the inner courtyard.

"He didn't stand with us" Kangxuan wondered.

“As for Kang Jing beside him, he said, “In the past, only fifty-six people from Yongning County participated in the preliminary selection for the imperial hunt. Of those, only a few managed to pass the first level of the Dragon Searching Tower. With Long Dao’s abilities, he will definitely pass the preliminary selection and get a hunting quota.”

He's only here to make an appearance now. It's no surprise, he won't even have to participate in the upcoming pre-selection assessment, he'll be directly given a spot.

"How is this possible" Kangxuan was astonished, but soon understood.

The credibility of the Dragon-Seeking Tower is unquestionable.

Since the Dragon Saber has passed the first level of the Dragon Seeking Tower, his strength is naturally convincing, and it is only natural to be directly awarded a place.

The crowd waited there, and soon two more people arrived and were invited in.

"Longdao, Qiuze, and Ling Jade, the mistress of the Ling family, these three have all cleared the first level of the Dragon Seeking Tower. Their strength is undeniable. Apart from them, no one else should be qualified to be invited in," Kang Jing thought to himself.

Suddenly, a young figure appeared on the martial arts field.

His arrival immediately caught the attention of everyone present.

"So young"

"You're too young, you look like you're barely twenty!"

"Such a young lad, participating in the Imperial City Hunt as well"

Many people's faces became strange.

Those who dare to participate in the imperial hunt generally have a certain level of confidence in their own strength, and their cultivation has almost reached the peak of the Sea Transformation Realm.

And for a person to progress from the initial stage of martial arts to the peak of the Huahhai realm, it takes a long time to accumulate and improve their cultivation. Most people reach the peak of the Huahhai realm when they are over thirty years old, like almost everyone present who is over thirty years old.

Those under thirty years of age who participate in the Imperial City hunt are relatively few.

As for those under twenty who participated in the royal hunt...there were some, but very few!

This time, for the Tianyan Imperial Dynasty's imperial city hunt, probably very few under twenty years old came to participate.

And as this young figure approached, the crowd also saw through his cultivation. He was only at the peak of the Sea Transformation Realm.

"For someone like him to participate in the royal hunt He's overestimating his abilities," Kang Xuan scoffed.

“He probably had a momentary lapse of judgment, or perhaps he didn’t understand the royal hunt very well. He just thought it was a good opportunity to show off his talents and rushed over. People like this have always existed; there's no need to worry about them. In the preliminary assessment later, they will naturally be weeded out.” Kang Jing also smiled faintly.

These 'Peak of the Sea' cultivators gathered on the training ground all wore a look of amusement.

However, the moment this youthful figure stepped into the center of the martial arts field, a guard from the county magistrate's office immediately approached.

"Master Su Xin, please follow me. The county magistrate is already waiting in the main hall."

"Good"

Su Xin nodded and followed the attendant into the inner courtyard.

And all the spectators in the martial arts arena were astonished by this scene.

"What's going on This Huhai Da Cheng, how does he even have the qualifications to be invited in"

"Su Xinxing, young master Which Su Xinxing"

"This Su Xin, I know, he is the young master of the Su family. Not long ago, there was a great war between the Su family and the Pang family. It is said that this Su Xin once killed a peak cultivator from the Pang family."

In the midst of everyone's confusion, Su Xin's identity was also revealed.

Because everyone knew Su Xin's identity, a wave of discontent immediately arose among those present.

It is obvious that this Su Xin, just like them, has also come to participate in this Royal City Hunt.

And the three members of the Long Blade, who had been invited into the inner courtyard before, had all passed the first level of the Seeking Dragon Tower. Their hunting quota was already predetermined, there was no doubt about it, being invited into the inner courtyard in advance was also well-deserved, but Su Xin...

A young man who looked no older than twenty, with the surname Su and claiming to be a young master of the Su family. But what right did he have

“What's the magistrate up to We're left waiting here while he brings Su Xin in ahead of us… The young master of the Su family, what a big name! The Su family is truly powerful.” Kang Xuan said with discontent, “He even claims to have killed a Peak Sea Transformation cultivator from the Pang family. Hmph, a Late Stage Sea Transformation killing a Peak Sea Transformation What a joke!”

Su Xin also passed the first level of the Dragon Seeking Tower.

This is because he was using a pseudonym at the time, and had only just arrived.

Secondly, after passing the first level of the Dragon Seeking Tower, he didn't make a fuss. Even within the Su family, only those at the highest levels knew about it; most Su family members were unaware.

And nobody outside knew about it any more.

As for saying he killed a peak-stage Hai Ze... they didn't see it with their own eyes, who would believe it

Whisper, don't let anyone hear.

Kang Jing snorted and said, "The Su family, after all, is the first aristocratic family in Yongning County, with deep roots. It's normal for the county magistrate to treat Su Xin differently."

Although he scolded verbally, Kang Jing frowned as well, clearly discontent in his heart.

Of course, it's just because of the difference in identity that they treat each other differently. They may be unhappy about it, but no one would really dare to say anything.

At this time, a county magistrate from the office presiding over this preliminary selection stepped forward.

Everyone is almost here, so let's get this primary election started.

"The rules for this preliminary election are also very simple..."

With the announcement of the rules by this county magistrate's powerful figure, the pre-selection for the royal city hunt within Yongning County officially began.

However, this preliminary assessment was only conducted on the dozens of people gathered at the training ground, including Kang Jing and his brother Kang Xuan. As for Su Xin and the others who had already been invited into the inner courtyard, there was no need to participate at all. Their hunting quotas had already been decided.

……

Inside the county magistrate's mansion, East Hall.

Su Xin, led by his attendants, entered the East Hall. Several people were already seated inside waiting for him.

"Su Xin, this is the county magistrate's attendant," he pointed to a middle-aged man seated at the front.

"Su Xin, upon seeing the County Magistrate, hurriedly bowed. Although he had not met this magistrate before, he knew that his surname was Wang."

"No need for such formality, Wang Junshou waved his hand. "Su Xin, my father and I, we could be considered old acquaintances. I never expected that after the Su family fell from grace, you'd emerge as a genius like this."

Su Xin just smiled faintly.

"These three beside you, like you, have all passed the first level of the Dragon Seeking Tower and can directly obtain a hunting quota without going through the preliminary assessment. You should get to know them," Wang, the City Guardian, said.

Su Xin, having seen the three people sitting beside Su Xinchao, bowed slightly.

Of the three, Qiu Ze, who looked rather simple and guileless, and Ling Yu, the mistress of the Ling family, both wore strange expressions as they looked at Su Xin.

They had already heard from the County Magistrate that Su Xin had also cleared the first level of the Seeking Dragon Tower.

Can't he, Su Xin, look to be less than twenty years old

And in terms of cultivation, he has only reached the peak of the Sea Transformation Realm.

One who turned the sea into a great expanse, having passed through the first level of the Dragon Seeking Tower

It's you!

As for that dragon blade, when it saw Su Xin's face clearly, it was the first to stand up, with a look of astonishment on its face.

"Mr. Longdao, don't come here empty-handed. Su Xin smiled."

"Dragon Brother, are you acquainted with this Su Xin younger brother" Ling Yu asked beside him.

"Of course, Long Dao nodded, "Half a month ago, I met with Su Xin's brother and had a fight. That battle benefited me greatly."

"Benefited greatly" Both Qiu Ze and Ling Yu were taken aback.

Although they all passed the first level of the Dragon Seeking Tower, Longdao had cleared it seven years ago. In terms of strength, he was undoubtedly the strongest among the three of them.

He even benefited from his battle with Su Xin

This means, it seems like Long Knife lost

"I've only won by a hair. Su Xin is smiling."

He's clearly being humble here.

Over the past two months, he has been making his way through Yongning County, challenging all sorts of powerful individuals.

However, not everyone is qualified for him to go and challenge. Most of those who can make him take the initiative are some extremely skilled individuals who have passed the first level of the Dragon Seeking Tower.

such as the old city master of Beihannan City, such as the old butler of Tang's Manor...

As for the Dragon Saber, he had already cleared the first level of the Seeking Dragon Pagoda seven years ago. Su Xin naturally sparred with him as well. That was half a month ago, and at that time, Su Xin's cultivation had broken through to reach the peak of the Sea Transformation realm. With just a slight activation of his bloodline power, his strength could rival that of a peak Sea Transformation cultivator.

Naturally, Su Xin won very easily in this encounter.

"Brother Su Xin, after that battle with you, I've spent a lot of time reflecting and my strength has improved somewhat in these past half months. Since we've met again today, I want to ask for your advice once more about our fight back then. Would you be willing" Long Dao asked.

"Of course," Su Xin smiled and nodded.

Meanwhile, Qiu Ze and Ling Yu on the side were both shocked.

"Are you asking or demanding," Lingyu was very clear about the difference between these two words.

To ask for advice, that means both sides are at the same level of strength, and it is out of humility to say that they want to learn from each other.

And to ask, that's putting oneself completely on a higher level than everyone else.

Suchin, stronger than the Dragon Saber!

Even, it is necessary to strengthen it much more.

Once he understood this, Ling Yu could no longer sit still.

"Su Xin, little brother, since even Long Ge wants to learn from you in person, I wonder if you would also be willing to impart your wisdom to me" Ling Yu said.

The guileless Qiu Ze also stood up.

"No problem, then. I'll look forward to sparring with you later." Su Xin replied with a smile.

He has sparred with many strong opponents these past two months, and his own strength has greatly improved.

Whether it was Qiu Ze or Ling Yu, they were both masters who had passed the first level of the Dragon Seeking Tower. Of course, Su Xin was willing to spar with them.

……."This bloodline power, could it be the divine bloodline of a once-in-a-thousand-year occurrence" exclaimed the Fourth Mountain Master in astonishment.She didn't think about the Supreme Bloodline.Afte...
