Dual Transmigration: American Prison, Surviving to a Fantasy Development Stage

Li Yi's vision went black, blood gushed from his mouth and nose, and several bloody molars drew arcs in the air.

He was sent flying through the air and then crashed heavily off the stage.

The scene was one of shock.

It ended too quickly; I thought Li Yi was very strong.

Looking at Li Yi's miserable appearance, Xueyao recalled his earlier boast that he would beat Lin Feng to a pulp, and how Lin Feng had fulfilled his wish. She couldn't help but laugh.

"Pfft"

Immediately, like a powder keg being lit, the entire audience erupted in deafening laughter.

"Hahaha...that's a real disaster."

"Who just said they were going to beat someone to a pulp?"

"Well, that's great, my own tooth flew off first!"

City Lord Zhao Boli looked at Lin Feng, who had a calm expression, and a hint of appreciation flashed in his eyes.

He cleared his throat and announced in a steady voice:

"Challenge over, Li Yi has failed."

According to the rules, all prizes for third place will belong to the winner, Lin Feng.

He paused, his gaze sweeping across the room before finally settling on Lin Feng, and raised his voice:

"I hereby announce that Lin Feng is the top-ranking candidate in the Yongguan County Martial Arts Examination of the Renyin Year!"

"Whoosh!"

After a brief silence, the audience erupted in enthusiastic applause and cheers.

Previously, some people may have had doubts about Lin Feng's strength, thinking that he won too easily or that he took advantage of the weapon.

However, Li Yi, who had only recently developed internal strength, was no match for them.

At this moment, no one doubted the prestige of this newly appointed case leader.

However, amidst the deafening cheers, many people secretly glanced at the honest-looking Zhao Erniu, wondering whether he was stronger or Lin Feng was stronger.

After all, Zhao Erniu went up three times, his opponents conceded twice, and he himself conceded once, which means he didn't lift a finger and became the second place in this martial arts competition.

It was something that everyone found amazing.

With the announcement by City Lord Zhao Boli, the annual martial arts examination for Yongguan County has finally come to an end.

Zhao Boli did not keep the group any longer. After signaling the officials in charge to maintain order, he led the eight people involved in the martial arts examination, including Lin Feng, Zhao Erniu, Li Yi, and Cheng Yuan.

Leaving the noisy training ground, they headed straight for the city lord's mansion.

The city lord's mansion had vermilion gates and high walls. After passing through several courtyards, the group was led to the main hall.

The interior furnishings are simple yet elegant.

"Please sit down, no need to stand on ceremony."

Zhao Boli sat down in the main seat, in a rather good mood.

With a casual wave of his hand, the maidservant quietly served fragrant hot tea.

"Thank you, City Lord."

Lin Feng and the others bowed in thanks and took their seats in turn.

Zhao Erniu, Cheng Yuan, and the others sat upright, while Li Yi lowered his head, his face still swollen and red, looking listless, completely lacking his previous arrogance.

Zhao Boli picked up his teacup, gently stirred the floating leaves with the lid, and slowly swept his gaze over the eight people below, a gentle smile on his face.

"You are all outstanding talents who have emerged from this martial arts examination. You are the best of the younger generation in Yongguan County. I have seen your performance today and it was quite good."

His words were encouraging, but his gaze lingered more on Lin Feng.

Clearly, this newly appointed chief investigator is the talent he is currently most focused on and has high hopes for.

"You flatter me, City Lord."

Lin Feng, representing the group, replied politely, his tone neither humble nor arrogant.

Zhao Boli stopped the small talk, put down his teacup, and got straight to the point.

He clapped his hands lightly and said loudly, "Someone, present the reward."

As soon as she finished speaking, seven maids dressed in light green dresses filed in through the side door, each carrying a wooden tray covered with red silk.

They walked lightly and stood in front of Lin Feng, Zhao Erniu, Cheng Yuan and others.

However, a slightly awkward scene unfolded in the hall: Li Yi was completely alone, with not a single maid standing in front of him.

This awkward scene made Li Yi lower his head even further, his face burning, whether from lingering injuries or from shame, it was hard to tell.

In short, I wish I could find a hole to crawl into.

The amount of the reward is unknown, but it would be most awkward for someone not to receive it.

All the rewards for his third-place finish had already been awarded to Lin Feng according to the rules due to his failed challenge, so he naturally received nothing at this moment.

Zhao Boli seemed oblivious to the subtle embarrassment and calmly explained, "This is a reward for the county examination."

Fifty taels of pure silver each, to help with your future martial arts training expenses.

A book titled "Basic Internal Strength Guiding Techniques" is a basic exercise method issued by the imperial court to help you understand the way to condense internal strength.

There is also a bottle of "Blood Qi Powder". Take a small amount before each day's practice to help you condense your blood and qi, accelerate the body refining process, and solidify your foundation.

This will be beneficial for you to break through to the Inner Strength realm as soon as possible.

As he spoke, the maids simultaneously lifted the red silk on the tray.

Suddenly, the gleaming white silver ingots came into view, their alluring luster reflecting the light in the hall.

Next to it was a yellow-covered, slightly antique-looking thread-bound book, and a palm-sized celadon medicine bottle with its stopper tightly sealed.

In front of Lin Feng were two trays, containing his own top prize and the third-place prize he had won from Li Yi.

Zhao Erniu grinned sheepishly at the silver, while Cheng Yuan and the others stared eagerly at the cultivation manual.

Only Li Yi stared at his empty space, his face ashen, his hands clenched into fists on his knees, his knuckles white.

Zhao Boli took in everyone's expressions and continued, "From this day forward, the eight of you are officially recognized martial arts students of our Great Wei."

Next month, you must accompany me to Huayang Prefecture (city) to participate in the prefectural examination.

He paused, then emphasized, "In the prefectural examination, if one can break into the top ten, one can obtain the title of 'Martial Scholar'."

At that time, the Huayang Prefecture government will issue even more generous rewards, including elixirs, more advanced cultivation techniques, and even more silver.

His gaze deepened, and his voice took on a seductive quality: "If any of you are exceptionally talented and blessed with good fortune, you might be able to break into the top ten in the entire prefecture (province) in the 'state examination' that follows the prefectural examination."

Then, you will have the opportunity to obtain a cultivation technique reward that leads directly to the 'acquired' realm.

"And if..." He looked around and slowly said, "If you can go further and rank among the top ten in the final 'Imperial Examination,' the imperial court will be generous with its rewards, including cultivation techniques that lead directly to the 'Innate' realm and precious pills of the same grade."

Even a "Marrow Cleansing Pill" that can transform one's body and enhance one's aptitude.

The words fell like a boulder thrown into a calm lake.

Even Li Yi, who had been keeping his head down and silent, suddenly raised his head, his eyes flashing with an unbelievable, eager light.

Innate cultivation techniques and marrow cleansing pills are legendary treasures that are priceless and capable of changing a person's destiny. Who wouldn't want them?

Even though they knew their chances were slim, they still fantasized about what if it was them.
