Merit is a priceless hard currency. Many of the upper-middle-level skills, hundred-forged weapons, and magical herbs and elixirs in the public treasury require sufficient merit to be exchanged.

After the official finished his introduction, he continued,

"Since he was nominated by the marquis, we won't ask about other matters. But the martial arts test cannot be omitted..."

The official turned around, looked at the five or six military officers sitting in their seats, and asked,

"I wonder which military officer at the Bone Penetration Realm would come out to test me?"

Upon hearing this, the military officers looked left and right, their eyes met, but no one spoke.

Are you kidding me? This person was actually recommended by Captain Hou. Who knows what Captain Hou is thinking? If he is too lenient and lets the assessment go easy, will Captain Hou think he is bribing?

If he was too harsh and failed the assessment, would Captain Hou be unhappy and humiliate him?

This isn't okay, and that isn't good either.

The military officers present were all shrewd people. They simply left Li Qinglin where he was, ignoring him without asking for any credit but only for avoiding mistakes.

The officials saw what was going on and understood their plan. They smiled bitterly and mentioned the names of several military officers, but they were evasive and evaded the question.

“You guys!”

The official smiled bitterly, thinking about it, and then said to Li Qinglin, "My friend, how about this, you go to the Ministry of Revenue first and ask them to issue a document proving that you have no criminal record, and then come over?"

Hmm? Isn't this a case of passing the buck?! Upon hearing this, Li Qinglin's smile faded, and he slowly straightened his spine. With a sharp and aggressive look, he glanced at the several military attachés present.

There are four people in the Bone Penetrating Realm, and two of them have their strength refined into their bone marrow, but in terms of aura, let alone Wang Song, they are not even as good as the nameless passerby who blocked the road.

Sweeping over by Li Qinglin's unscrupulous gaze, several military officers frowned and felt somewhat unhappy with Li Qinglin.

“Everyone…”

Li Qinglin's clear voice came.

"Since you are in trouble, then you should...

Let’s go together!”

"absurd!"

A martial artist with a beard slammed the table and stood up, staring at Li Qinglin unkindly with his eyes as big as bells.

"As expected of you who was recommended by Captain Hou, you are a young man with a proud character..."

A martial artist with a feminine face and narrow eyes said something in a sarcastic tone.

The others also frowned.

Li Qinglin said nothing and walked straight to the martial arts arena. He took out a wooden sword and a wooden bow with arrows from the weapon rack. The tips of the arrows were wrapped with cloth dipped in white powder.

Then he turned around, holding his sword at his side, and looked down at the military officer not far away with a sharp gaze. His strong fighting spirit instantly enveloped everyone.

"In that case, I will come to meet you..."

Hu shouted loudly and took a step forward, with a wooden sword in his hand. With a whoosh, his blood surged and he rushed towards Li Qinglin quickly.

"Watch carefully, my sword..."

However……

A cloud of gravel and smoke rose from the training ground.

Li Qinglin suddenly disappeared from his sight.

Hu looked around in confusion.

"Brother, above my head!" a sharp voice came.

Chuan Lian Hu raised his head suddenly, and his pupils shrank to the size of a needle tip.

Then Li Qinglin appeared above Hu's head, like a tiger descending from the mountain, with a murderous look on his face.

Then, Li Qinglin chopped it down with a knife!

Boom! The wooden blade broke with a crackling sound like bones snapping. The hand holding the knife to protect his face was torn at the base of the palm. His arm was broken in a strange posture. The whole person was like a wooden stake, with his feet slightly bent, and was pressed into the ground several inches! "How dare you! Where did this fool come from! You actually took the initiative!"

The feminine martial artist and another martial artist flew into a rage and rushed out.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! The dense rain of hidden blades turned into an upward arc, cutting through the air and stabbing towards Li Qinglin's upper body.

Li Qinglin took several steps back, his wrist guards dancing quickly, leaving afterimages. The air was filled with a faint smell of burning. With the sound of metal collisions, the hidden swords were bounced back and deeply penetrated into the ground.

Swoosh! A flash of sword light flashed through the hidden swords and appeared in front of Li Qinglin. The thin sword in the feminine martial artist's hand was like a poisonous snake, making a hissing sound.

The feminine martial artist's gaze was cold.

However, Li Qinglin stretched out a muscular hand with five tendons like steel wires and as big as a palm leaf fan, and slapped the sword hard!

Arrogant!

The feminine martial artist looked at him with contempt upon seeing this.

Dare to block his willow sword with just a pair of bare hands? Even if he had ten layers of cowhide, he would be pierced into a sieve by his sword energy! However, the next moment, the contempt in his eyes turned into incredible shock.

Li Qinglin's palm exerted such terrifying force that it pressed his willow-thread sword into almost a semicircle, and a stream of hot blood came from the contact area.

The hilt of the sword in the feminine man's hand felt faintly burning.

How is it possible? How could his skin be so hard? The feminine man was shocked.

Bang! A dull sound rang out, and another martial artist appeared beside Li Qinglin at some point, punching Li Qinglin with a rustling wind, but was blocked by Li Qinglin.

Fist shadows flashed quickly, palm winds continued, and the huge martial arts arena was filled with flying sand and gravel as the three fought, and long footprints appeared on the ground.

The military officers outside the venue had already put away their contempt for Li Qinglin. They stood up one after another, their faces solemn, their eyes following the figure in the venue intently.

"How come this kid is so strong?"

"Sixteen years old, tight membrane, swallowed a plant of... Nine-branched Black Essence Grass during his service?! No wonder!"

However, in their perception, the qi and blood of the two feminine martial artists gradually became disordered and depressed during the fight.

But looking at Li Qinglin, the majestic blood and energy in his body was like a monster. Instead of weakening, it was like a storm hitting the shore, one wave more turbulent than the other! Bang! Bang! Two figures flew out of the field, their figures were in an arched shape, like two cooked prawns, and circles of white air waves appeared in front of their chests and spread out.

The smoke and dust cleared, and Li Qinglin stood up slowly, his eyes calm, and he nodded.

"You guys weren't seriously injured after taking two punches from me. You guys...are not bad."

…

Boom! Boom! Boom! Muffled noises were heard in the martial arts arena.

It was like an earthquake, and dust flew off the beams.

The people queuing in the barracks looked at each other.

"Is it a battle for the assessment? Why is it so big?!"

"Not really. Even if a few Bone Penetrating Realm martial artists surrounded and fought fiercely, it would only be like this, right?"

"Could it be that Bai Jing and Xiao Yuanshan took action?"

"Then the person we just recruited is in trouble, right?"

As everyone was puzzled, they heard the noise coming from the martial arts arena becoming more rapid and louder, accompanied by faint roars of unwillingness.

Slowly, the barracks fell into silence. Everyone subconsciously lowered their voices and listened silently to the movements in the training ground.
