In chaotic times, one can become a martial immortal.

"If I remember correctly, her name should be Jiang Ying. Although she is only at the Dark Force level, she has superhuman strength and may even possess innate martial bones. I wonder if her performance will once again amaze everyone."

"If she truly possesses innate martial bones, she might actually be able to achieve a top-tier score with her internal energy cultivation!"

Both examiners were looking at the cage with great anticipation.

However, Jiang Ying's next move left everyone dumbfounded.

Her petite body suddenly appeared directly on the head of the Crimson Flame Tiger.

"How...how dare she do that?"

Whether it was Chu Jun, Xu Lin, Qian Rou, or Cao Yang, Fang Chang, Hong Lei, and others, they were all completely shocked at this moment.

Even Ji Baiying looked at Jiang Ying with disbelief.

After entering the cage, they only thought about avoiding the Crimson Flame Tiger's attacks, never considering taking the initiative to fight back, let alone jumping directly onto the Crimson Flame Tiger. Unexpectedly, the petite Jiang Ying not only dared to think and act, but actually did it.

Jiang Ying gripped the Crimson Flame Tiger's fur tightly with both hands, no matter how the tiger shook its massive head, she seemed to be welded to it.

"It seems she hasn't practiced any movement techniques, yet she's so fast just by relying on her natural speed. Perhaps she really does possess the innate martial bone that Master Huang mentioned."

Lu Yuan looked up at Jiang Ying, who was standing steadily on the tiger's head, smiling and showing her two little tiger teeth. A look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"Roar! Roar! Roar!"

Completely enraged, the Crimson Tiger not only roared incessantly, but its entire body also began to writhe wildly.

"It's so noisy!"

Jiang Ying frowned slightly, then raised her hand and punched down hard.

"Bang!"

With a muffled thud, the Crimson Tiger seemed stunned, frozen in place.

Everyone was stunned. That was too brave!

"roar……"

The Crimson Tiger roared to the sky, then spewed out crimson flames in all directions.

"Bang!"

Jiang Ying punched him hard again.

"roar……"

"Bang! Bang!"

"roar……"

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

"Awoo~"

Seemingly completely tamed by Jiang Ying's fierce beating, the Crimson Flame Tiger actually lay down again.

"Your head is so hard, my hands are sore from hitting it!"

Jiang Ying jumped down from the Crimson Flame Tiger's head, and then said with a somewhat aggrieved tone.

The Crimson Tiger hung its head, looking at Jiang Ying with innocent eyes.

If it could speak, it probably could only say, "Is it my fault?"

"If you look at me again, I'll beat you up!"

Jiang Ying swung her fist, revealing two small tiger teeth.

Whether or not it truly understood, the Crimson Tiger rolled its eyes in a human-like manner, then tilted its massive head to the other side.

"Even if you don't look at me, I'll still punch you!"

Jiang Ying's words left both the Crimson Flame Tiger and the crowd outside the cage stunned once again.

Next, the Crimson Tiger seemed to have resigned itself to its fate and actually offered its head to Jiang Ying again.

Since I'm going to get beaten up whether I look at her or not, let's go for it!

"Who is the real tiger, really?"

Everyone couldn't help but shake their heads inwardly, as they couldn't quite tell whether the Crimson Flame Tiger or Jiang Ying was more terrifying.

"Jiang Ying, come out! It's been more than fifteen breaths!"

The examiner, now regaining his senses, could only helplessly call out to Jiang Ying.

"Fine, I'll just have to hit you next time."

Jiang Ying raised her hand to pat the Crimson Flame Tiger's head, then turned and walked out.

At this moment, everyone's eyes were unconsciously focused on her, and everyone had a strange expression.

The baby-faced girl in front of me, dressed in an unconventional style and only at the Dark Force level, actually subdued the Crimson Flame Tiger with her fists.

"Is she really just born with superhuman strength?"

"I just can't understand it. She only has the cultivation of Inner Strength, yet her speed and strength surpass those of ordinary Transformation Strength cultivators. It's simply unbelievable!"

Everyone was filled with doubt, finding it utterly unbelievable.

"Could it be that she possesses the innate martial bone, a rare quality even in the county town, one that would make many top-tier geniuses feel inferior?"

Ji Baiying seemed to have thought of something, and her pupils suddenly contracted.

Back in the county town, he had heard of a martial arts prodigy who topped the martial arts rankings. Not only had he mastered the Golden Skin technique in just six months, but he could also easily overpower ordinary eighth-rank and even seventh-rank cultivators with his ninth-rank cultivation. He was truly a remarkable person.

He had always regretted not having the chance to witness the brilliance of such outstanding individuals, but now he was able to witness the rise of yet another remarkable person.

The assessment continued, and the remaining candidates entered the cage one by one.

After Jiang Ying's fierce beating, the Crimson Flame Tiger seemed to have given up completely, at most waving its claws symbolically a few times, or spitting out a few perfunctory mouthfuls of crimson flames as if spitting phlegm.

Even so, some people still nearly had their arms broken by the sharp tiger claws.

There was another unlucky guy whose heel was stained by sparks from a mouthful of crimson flames casually spat out by the Crimson Tiger.

If it weren't for the two examiners' timely rescue, he would probably have lost at least one leg.

After a short while, Lu Yuan handed the number plate to the clerk and then entered the cage through the small door.

Although he didn't show off much, he still easily lasted for fifteen breaths by simply using the Swift Wind Step.

Getting an A grade is enough; there's no need to overdo it.

After retrieving the number plate from the clerk, you can see that there is now an additional character "甲" on it.

Following Lu Yuan, the last few people also quickly underwent the assessment.

With this, the second round of assessments has come to an end.

"Although your performances were all quite good, only thirty people will be selected for this martial arts examination. Therefore, apart from the thirty-six candidates who achieved first-class scores, all the rest have failed!"

The examiner, dressed in a scholar's robe, looked at everyone with a faint smile and spoke directly.

As he finished speaking, those who only received grades B and C, regardless of their internal strength or external strength cultivation, had no choice but to accept the result and leave dejectedly.

"The upcoming third round of assessments will not only eliminate six of you, but also determine the final rankings. I hope you will all give it your all and strive to make the list!"

The scholar-official in his scholar's robes then turned his gaze to the thirty-six people, including Lu Yuan, and continued, "If you can rank in the top ten, in addition to the title of Martial Arts Scholar, you will also receive extra rewards!"

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up with anticipation, eager to give it a try.

"I, Ji Baiying, am determined to take the title of Martial Arts Champion!"

Ji Baiying turned her head, her gaze sweeping over everyone, her eyes full of confidence.

In the county seat, Ji Baiying was indeed not a prominent figure, but in Qinghe County, he was absolutely confident that he could stand out among his contemporaries.

This was also the main reason why he retreated from Anyang County to Qinghe County.

Better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix!

"Brother Lu Yuan, I eagerly anticipate our upcoming battle!"

Cao Yang walked directly up to Lu Yuan and said with a faint smile.

"Same to you!"

Lu Yuan said calmly.

Both of them were well aware of the impending battle.

It not only determined victory or defeat, but also life or death!
