Man covers the sky and conquers all worlds

Chapter 141 Yue Pengju Wins the Championship!
A day later, the head of Li Gang, who held the position of prefectural vice-prefect, was hung on the gate of Bianjing.

Passersby were all talking about it.

Meanwhile, atop the city wall, a stone tablet carved from a single piece of bluestone, stained with blood, stood tall:
During the martial arts tournament, all individuals may bring weapons into the city. However, private duels within the city are strictly prohibited; anyone who violates this rule will be killed without exception!

The stone tablet exuded a strong aura of killing intent, boiling over like a blood-stained blade that pierced the depths of everyone's hearts!

Even a third-rank Grandmaster wouldn't dare to stare directly at them.

It was created by that incredibly mysterious Emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty!

It should be noted that the entire city of Bianjing is now filled with some of the most renowned martial arts masters!
He's at least someone who has reached a certain rank!

If a conflict were to break out in the city, it would inevitably cause enormous damage to ordinary residents.

Now, the head of a third-rank grandmaster, who was also an official of the imperial court, is hanging there, and a monument with an imposing weight and a chilling killing intent stands tall.

This has finally reduced the number of private fights among the martial artists to some extent!
Of course, the most important of all are those armored warriors who patrol the streets all day long, have opened up secret realms, entered the ranks, and are covered in black armor!
Some people have even witnessed a melee warrior with a martial arts level of only the fifth rank activating a secret realm divine mark.

He even killed a fourth-grade master who had cultivated true qi and was of a higher level!

In this way, no one will dare to make a move again!
……

After all the martial artists in the world gathered in Bianjing City.

Soon the martial arts tournament was about to begin!

The city's most spacious square, paved with white marble, was already bustling with people.

It must have gathered tens of thousands of people!
Each and every one of them is a martial artist who has passed the state examination and has at least entered a certain rank!
Even so, countless people were still blocked by the crowds and trapped in the streets and alleys outside the square, unable to move.

As the sun blazed overhead, a resounding, booming sound finally echoed from the center of the square.
"The first test of the martial arts examination will examine you to see how you made it this far through your own strength!"

The sound, amplified by the Second Grade True Qi, instantly resounded throughout the entire Bianjing City.

Wow!
"What do you mean?"

"So simple?"

"If that's the case, wouldn't those who were already ranked at the top have the biggest advantage?"

"Isn't there something fishy going on?"

"The first military examination of the Great Xia Dynasty was actually predetermined..."

……

Some people who hadn't managed to get to the scene expressed their confusion, while others who hadn't understood the rules complained.

The cacophony of voices converged and instantly engulfed the entire square, causing countless people to feel their eardrums vibrate and their ears ring.

"Silence! This is the first martial arts examination of the Great Xia Dynasty. How dare you question it! If you are not satisfied, then leave immediately and give the opportunity to others!"

This time, the sound was grand and stirring, instantly drowning out the endless noise echoing in the square.

Countless people felt a lump in their throats, and in their breath, they couldn't utter another word!
"The first martial arts examination of the Great Xia Dynasty is now... beginning!"

boom!
Amidst the thunderous roar, the numerous martial artists standing in the first row of the plaza wore expressions of delight, believing they had gained an advantage.

He quickly used his movement technique to leap into the open space in the center.

With one step, one can traverse several meters!

But... just as their steps fell within the scope defined by the assessment.

A force as heavy as Mount Tai descended from above, instantly impacting every inch of their flesh and bones!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom…

The ground trembled slightly, and figures were all knocked to the ground by an invisible force, unable to move!

"Failure, take them away! Failure, take them away..." The examiner walked among them, arranging for soldiers clad in black armor to carry away those who were unable to move.

“That place…something’s strange! It seems that not everyone is being oppressed in the same way!”

Having learned from the lessons of their predecessors, those who came after them were more willing to experiment and eventually discovered some patterns.

The oppression in this square is pushing everyone's mental and physical limits to the limit.

It has nothing to do with strength!

But in the face of absolute power, what works is what doesn't work! Any further testing and preparation is futile.

As the sun began to set, half an hour had passed, but only a handful of people remained in the square used for the assessment.

Even those who had just entered the fourth rank of the Meridian Opening stage were carried away!

"Pengju... I've only just entered the fifth rank, I'm no good, our village is counting on you!"

At the edge of the square, Yue Fei's fellow townsman was grabbed by one hand and thrown out by a soldier, who winked and cheered Yue Fei on.

Yue Fei nodded slightly, a mysterious air about him on his face.

"Don't worry, this... is no problem for me!"

He immediately stepped inside!
boom!
The moment he stepped inside, he felt an invisible force, as if pouring out from the depths of the void, acting on his body.

In just a moment, his muscles were stretched and bulged out little by little.

"Such strong suppressive power... Unfortunately, it hasn't reached my limit yet!"

As he felt the oppressive force slowly surging in like a tide, Yue Fei's eyes gleamed slightly.

Despite the increasing pressure, we stepped deeper and deeper into the depths.

boom!
With each step he took, the force acting on him increased.

"That man... isn't that the kid who cut off Li Gang's only son's arm?"

"He... he actually caught up with the distance that Shaolin master covered!"

"He passed! He surpassed it!"

Wow!
Yue Fei's actions instantly attracted the attention of countless people.

Those who reach a high level of attainment have already refined their spirit and will through long-term tempering and refinement.

Their control over their physical body is naturally far superior to that of lower-level individuals.

Let's look at Yue Fei again!
The only thing flowing subtly around him was true qi, indicating that he was still at the fourth rank.

Yet he has gone even further than a third-grade Grandmaster.

In other words, his mental will and his control over his body even surpassed that of the Shaolin Grandmaster!

boom!
With another step, Yue Fei found himself standing at the very front!

"As expected... the pressure experienced at each level is different!"

Some people understood the situation and finally mustered up their courage to step inside.

The next instant, before the other foot could even be taken, it was pressed to the ground by an immense force, rendering it unable to move.

The preliminary test alone lasted for three days and three nights before it was finally completed.

Tens of thousands of people passed the state examination and came to participate in the martial arts tournament, but only three thousand made it to the finals!
Surprisingly, the winner of this preliminary test was a simply dressed farm boy who was not favored by anyone!
Yue Fei's name quickly spread throughout the entire city of Bianzhou.
