The First Marquis of Daxuan

Chapter 55 Pass (Please read, collect, and vote for the monthly ticket)
When Su Mu opened the door, he saw two people with their backs to him not far from the door.

The two men were dressed in brocade and black shirts, and the word "Ping" on their backs was extremely eye-catching.

Taiping Division!
Su Mu wanted to say hello, but found that he didn't know how to address Brother "Taiping".

At this time, the two men had turned around.

One of them was Brother Taiping, whom Su Mu had met once, and the other one was a little older, but a complete stranger.

"meet again."

Brother Taiping stood with his hands behind his back, his tone quite happy, "In just one year, he went from being a refugee to the head of the Nancheng Division's constable squad. He is indeed worthy of being the person I have my eyes on."

Brother, should you pay attention to your wording? It seems like it can be easily misunderstood.

Su Mu complained in his heart, and bowed slightly, saying, "Thank you for giving me the sword technique, Su Mu has not dared to slack off for a day. Fortunately, I have lived up to your high expectations and have made some progress in Fubo sword technique."

"Hit me."

Before Brother Taiping could say anything, the older man next to him suddenly said, "Use your strongest means to hit me."

Su Mu: "..."

Isn't this request too rude? We just met for the first time.

"Just do it if you're told to."

Brother Taiping chuckled and said, "Don't hold back, use your strongest strength, and don't be afraid of hurting him.

This is Zhao Po Nu, the governor of the Wuling City Peace Division. You can’t hurt him even if he stands still.”

The pacification envoy of the Taiping Division of Wuling City?

Su Mu's eyes lit up and he understood.

This big shot probably wants to test his own abilities.

If you continue to hide your abilities at this time, you will be exposing your stupidity.

"My Lord, I am sorry!"

Su Mu bowed slightly and said.

Before he finished speaking, Su Mu's expression became serious and he drew out the long sword from his waist.

The moment he drew his sword, Su Mu's mind was unprecedentedly focused, the skin all over his body suddenly tightened, and the strength he had gained from perfect skin tempering was used to its full potential for the first time.

hum!
In an instant, the blade light was like a stream of light, leaving nine afterimages.

The air was cut apart, making a sharp sound like tearing cloth.

Nine layers of waves of Fu Bo!
It’s really the Fu Bo sword style!
He was able to master the Fu Bo Sword Style in just one year. This little brother is really good.

It's too late, but it's soon.

The blade was only an inch away from Zhao Po Nu.

Zhao Po Nu suddenly raised his hand, his movement seemed slow but was actually fast, and he flicked his fingers.

Zheng!
With a crisp sound, Su Mu only felt a shock in his hand, and a huge force surged, and his right hand could no longer hold the long sword in his hand.

pedal!
pedal!
pedal!
He took several steps back before he was able to neutralize the force.

At this moment, the long knife fell and stuck into the ground in front of him, exactly one foot away from his toes.

Su Mu was shocked. Is this the top master of Wuling City?
It was just a casual blow, but it was hard for him to bear.

The absolute gap in strength makes all techniques useless.

The power of Fu Bo's sword can be broken with just a few fingers.

However, Su Mu was not discouraged. He was still young, and when he reached Zhao Po Nu's age, it would not be certain who would be stronger.

"You, have you completed the skin tempering?"

Su Mu was shocked, but he didn't know that Zhao Po Nu was even more shocked than he was.

He had assessed Su Mu's cultivation when he was observing him on the street yesterday.

If he was not mistaken, Su Mu had not yet completed his skin tempering yesterday.

That's why there was a bet between him and Lin Qihuan.

After tempering his skin overnight, he gave Su Mu a chance.

Because he felt that Su Mu couldn't do it.

Zhao Po Nu's figure flashed, and he appeared in front of Su Mu as if teleporting, and grabbed Su Mu's arm.

Su Mu knew that Zhao Po Nu had no ill intentions, so he simply did not try to avoid him.

He couldn't hide from him even if he wanted to. Zhao Po Nu grabbed Su Mu's arm and carefully observed the skin on his arm.

The skin is definitely tempered perfectly.

Although the effect of quenching skin cannot be compared with natural copper skin, it is slightly stronger than ordinary quenching skin.

In just one year, he not only mastered the Fu Bo sword style, but was also able to perfect his skin tempering!

With such understanding and aptitude, he would be considered a leader in the Taiping Division.

It’s a pity that he came into contact with martial arts too late.

Zhao Po Nu let go of Su Mu's arm, shook his head and sighed.

"Is the skin tempering really complete?"

Lin Qihuan also came over, glanced at Su Mu's skin, and exclaimed in amazement, "Boss, what do you say now?
I would say that my vision is unmatched.”

"Su Mu, 17 years old, was born a refugee, and is now the leader of the South City Division's express squad. In one year, he has mastered the Fu Bo sword style, and has tempered his skin to perfection, and his comprehension aptitude has passed the test."

Zhao Po Nu said in a deep voice, "During my time as the leader of the South City Division Express Team, I solved two homicides and six thefts, maintained peace and stability in the neighborhood, and personally paved roads for the people in the neighborhood.

Character, pass."

Zhao Po Nu said this expressionlessly, and Su Mu was already sweating coldly from fright.

Could it be that all his actions during these days have been noticed by the Taiping Division?
Fortunately, in order to earn "performance points", I worked diligently as the team leader and did not let him down.

Otherwise, you will definitely get a poor evaluation of your quality!
This can also be considered a misleading collision.

Or does it mean that people who work hard will never have bad luck?
"Su Mu, are you willing to join the Taiping Division and fight alongside us?"

Zhao Po Nu looked at Su Mu and said.

Su Mu was ecstatic. Was he willing?
Of course he would!
The title of Taipingsi can make the eldest son of the Wang family, one of the four major families in the inner city, give up the interests of the outer city to make friends with him.

Apart from anything else, by joining the Taiping Division, at least I don’t have to worry about being bullied anymore.

What He Yuxing and Zhao Ji? I am not on the same track with you guys.

He really wanted to say I do right away.

But his cautious character emerged again at this time.

"I heard that the threshold for joining the Taiping Division is to reach the fourth level of body tempering before the age of 20. Can I really do that?"

Su Mu asked seriously.

Rights and obligations are relative.

While the Taiping Division enjoys special privileges from the emperor, it also has to slay demons and punish evildoers.

There really are demons in this world, and Su Mu has seen them with his own eyes.

Those are all enemies of the Taiping Division.

It is not a good thing to join the Taiping Division when your cultivation is too low.

Su Mu estimated that the threshold of the Taiping Division was not set casually.

This is just like the safety regulations in factories in the previous life. Perhaps behind every seemingly inhumane regulation is a living life.

"Reaching the fourth level of body tempering before the age of twenty is a test of aptitude."

Zhao Po Nu said, "There is no problem with your aptitude and understanding.

I can make an exception and give you a chance."

"If I want, I can join the Taiping Division?"

Su Mu asked.

"Yes and no."

Zhao Po Nu said, "You are only qualified. Whether you can join the Taiping Division depends on your own ability.

Including the geniuses you mentioned who have reached the fourth level of body tempering before the age of 20, passing the selection is only the first step. If they want to truly join the Taiping Division, they also need to pass the last level.

I can give you a chance to stand at the same starting point as them.

You have three years. Within three years, as long as you can break through to the Blood Exchange Stage, you will be eligible to have the word "Taiping" embroidered on your clothes. "

"I am willing."

As soon as Zhao Po Nu finished speaking, Su Mu spoke.
