Zhao Lingjun was stunned; she hadn't expected Nangong Yijian to be so direct.
He wanted to take her as his disciple even during the imperial examination and martial arts test.
She had heard of Nangong Yijian's great reputation by now.
After all, the fact that the Heavenly Sword Pavilion Master, the undisputed number one expert in the Burial Immortal Land, Nangong Yijian, had led the entire Heavenly Sword Pavilion to join the Primordial Dynasty and become a member of the Primordial Dynasty had already spread throughout Yanjing City and even the entire Burial Immortal Land.
She was in Yanjing City, so naturally she couldn't possibly not know.
"I am the Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Sword Pavilion and the Hall Master of the Imperial Palace of the Primordial Dynasty."
"You may view all the martial arts and sword techniques of my Heavenly Sword Pavilion."
"I can also see the sword techniques or sword manuals in the Primordial Treasury and then teach them to you."
"I can even request Your Majesty to allow you to enter the Primordial Treasury at any time to view martial arts techniques."
"After all, your swordsmanship talent is very strong, and His Majesty is an enlightened person, so he will surely agree."
Nangong Yijian frowned, seemingly thinking that Zhao Lingjun didn't know his identity or who he was, and said with a serious expression.
Zhao Lingjun hesitated for a moment, then looked at Li Jing on the high platform, clearly wanting to know whether it was appropriate for Nangong Yijian to take her as a disciple at this time, and whether she could become his disciple.
Li Jing smiled slightly, noticing Zhao Lingjun's worry, and said, "You don't need to worry. As long as you are willing to become a disciple, you can do so now."
And everything Nangong Yijian said was true.
You can enter the Primordial Treasury of my Primordial Dynasty anytime, anywhere to view martial arts techniques.
No restrictions whatsoever!
Of course, this is for your exclusive use only; you must not share it with or disclose it to anyone else.
Upon hearing this, thousands of candidates for the imperial examination and the martial arts test looked at Zhao Lingjun with envy.
Everyone knows that the Primordial Treasury of the Primordial Dynasty contains countless amazing martial arts techniques.
Zhao Lingjun was able to gain Li Jing's permission to enter the Taichu Treasure Vault at any time to view martial arts techniques. How enviable this was!
However, they only envied Zhao Lingjun, not hated him.
The main reason is that Zhao Lingjun's comprehension was too high and too strong.
With the help of an ultimate killing sword, he comprehended the sword intent within an hour.
However, even though they had the same amount of time, the ultimate killing sword technique they had mastered was far inferior to hers.
They're like heaven and earth.
This level of understanding alone is something they can only look up to!
A look of sudden realization flashed across Nangong Yijian's eyes. He now understood why Zhao Lingjun hadn't spoken. It wasn't that he didn't want to become his disciple, but that he was worried it wouldn't be appropriate to do so now.
As a sword cultivator, he always did whatever came to mind without considering whether it was appropriate to wait until after the imperial examinations and martial arts tests before asking Zhao Lingjun if he wanted to become his disciple.
"Disciple greets Master."
Zhao Lingjun bowed to Nangong Yijian.
"No need for formalities. We in the Heavenly Sword Pavilion don't do that. Just remember that I am your master and you are a true disciple of the Heavenly Sword Pavilion."
Nangong Yijian waved his hand and said, "Alright, I won't interfere with your participation in the imperial examination and martial arts test."
After saying that, Nangong Yijian returned to his original position on his own.
The Imperial Guards asked Zhao Lingjun to wait aside. She had already completed the first training session on comprehension, but the others in her group had not yet participated in this training session. Instead, because of Zhao Lingjun's outburst, their training session was suspended.
The next step, naturally, is to have the remaining ninety-nine people practice again.
The entire drill was completed in less than half an hour.
"Next, we will begin the second exam."
Minister of War Dongfang Ming stood up and looked at the thousands of examinees.
One by one, the Imperial Guards soldiers had already brought over tables and chairs.
Each candidate had a table and chair, with writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones on the table, and each candidate's name was also posted on each table.
Obviously, the second exam requires them to write an essay, just like the written exam.
The topic of the essay was: Warfare is based on deception.
"Now begin writing an article on this topic, with a time limit of one hour."
Dongfang Ming addressed the thousands of examinees, saying, "I hereby declare the examination officially open."
After he finished speaking, he sat down again.
After finding their seats, the candidates picked up their calligraphy brushes and began to ponder.
People like Zhao Lingjun, Zuoqiu Wuhen, Qingyang Kong, Ning Wuque, Lian Chengyu, and Luo Shenxiao only thought for a moment before picking up their brushes and starting to write.
Clearly, these people all had some knowledge of military strategy.
After all, these people are martial arts prodigies, which means that most of them have extremely high comprehension.
Having high comprehension means learning things quickly and having a flexible mind.
Of course, it cannot be said that all of these people can become great military strategists or military geniuses.
To reach that level, one certainly needs a certain amount of talent.
However, acquiring some knowledge of military strategy and leading troops into battle was not difficult for them.
Even Nangong Yijian is the same; the fact that he has reached this point is enough to prove that his comprehension has reached an extremely terrifying level.
As long as he is willing to study military strategy, he will surely achieve remarkable success in the field of military tactics.
In less than half an hour, Zhao Lingjun had already stood up and started handing in his paper.
After submitting their papers, they would leave their seats and stand to the side to wait.
This applies to every single candidate.
This is the same as the written test.
Zuoqiu Wuhen and the others also handed in their papers one after another and left their seats.
When they saw others starting to hand in their papers, the remaining test takers became increasingly flustered and anxious.
In other words, they all knew they were almost certain to become generals of the Primordial Dynasty; otherwise, they would have been even more anxious.
Less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea was up when the last examinee handed in his paper.
The Grand Secretary Yan Changqing walked towards Li Jing with a jade slip in his hand and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, the overall results and rankings of the martial arts examination have been released. Please take a look and see if there are any adjustments needed to the top ten."
Li Jing took the jade slip, scanned it with his divine sense, and obtained all the information in his mind.
He first carefully looked at the papers of the top ten candidates, and then glanced at the names of all the martial arts test candidates, only glancing at the contents.
"No problem, no adjustments are needed."
Li Jing put down the jade slip in his hand, stood up, looked at the thousands of candidates, and said in a deep and powerful voice: "The results of this year's martial arts examination are out."
I hereby announce that the winner of the martial arts test, the champion of martial arts, is Jun Lingzhao!
Second place in the martial arts competition…
