My Cultivation Starting from Archery

"..."

Pei Tiannan felt around his waist to make sure he had brought the object, which gave him some confidence.

The reason he was stationed next to Liangzhou was to keep an eye on Sun Xiangzong's potential madness; he had something to rely on to some extent.

The gift he received from the court should suffice to save his life.

After thinking it over, he finally gritted his teeth and returned to Sun Xiangzong's side, "Lord Governor, please think thrice before you act."

Upon seeing his return,

Mr. Hou also followed back.

Both men were on tenterhooks.

However, Sun Xiangzong was instructing the people below, "Go and notify them to come over, let us begin the bone-feeling ceremony."

Pei Tiannan let out a long sigh of relief, "It seems the Supervisor still puts the overall situation first, I admire you greatly for that."

"Before we begin, this old man wants to confirm one last time."

Sun Xiangzong looked at him askance, his voice somewhat hoarse, "There really can't be two Champion Leaders, you cannot regret it later."

"Champion Leader, Champion Leader, naturally there can only be one,"

Pei Tiannan said confidently.

"Good, I've given the opportunity, you can't blame me,"

Sun Xiangzong nodded to signal the start.

An opportunity had been given?

Pei Tiannan suddenly felt something amiss, but couldn't quite figure out what it was just yet.

Soon,

Cao Fan stepped onto the high platform, bowed deeply with clasped fists, and respectfully addressed, "I have seen the Lord Governor!"

"Hm."

Sun Xiangzong spoke gravely, "The Princely Heir need not undergo the test, the Dragon Heart Tiger Bone is well-known to all, a Class A without doubt."

Li Qianzong, holding the register by the side, announced the final results:

"Princely Heir Cao Fan, has obtained five Class A marks!"

"Many thanks, Lord Governor!"

Cao Fan said joyfully, "A day as your student equals a lifetime as your son, I shall never forget the grace of your teachings and will surely repay it greatly in the future!"

His reference to the "future" naturally implied after his own father ascended the throne.

Whether the people of the Sun Family can land safely after Sun Xiangzong's demise; the current Crown Prince will play a significant role, and that's also why he dared to partake in the Selected Point competition.

"Today is not the day of the apprenticeship ceremony, the Princely Heir should step down first,"

Sun Xiangzong said leisurely, "Next one."

Chen Sansi promptly stepped onto the stage.

"What a pity!"

"..."

The moment he appeared, the crowd below sighed.

"Just like me, defeated by the physique,"

Ye Fengxiu muttered to himself.

His physique was not to be faked; his reaching this point was entirely due to his perception, somewhat feeling the shared sorrow of a kindred spirit's downfall.

"What use is physique!"

Meng Guangxin, with his robust voice, declared, "I may have the Body of Martial Saint, but haven't I been stuck in the Xuanxiang Realm for twenty years!"

"Are you actually proud?"

Rong Yanqiu lamented, "Master, with Li Shi sister and Bu Qi both so fond of him, let us lend a hand in the future, see if there's a chance to win back the position of True Disciple through military achievements."

...

"I have seen the Supervisor."

Chen San has been in Liangzhou for nearly a month, yet it was the first time he was this close to the legendary Governor; were it not for the Qingxuan Energy circulating in his body, he might really look no different from the old men at the village entrance.

He clasped fists without drawing undue attention to himself and spoke softly, "Thank you, Sun Dushi, for saving my life at Hongze River last time."

Although I didn't witness it with my own eyes,

I can basically conclude that it was Sun Xiangzong who made a move then, otherwise, I'd probably still be in big trouble.

"Hmm."

Sun Xiangzong nodded slightly, and his voice, like thunder, smashed into the ears of everyone present: "Class A, you may step down."

Next to him, Li Qianzong quickly summarized:

"Chen Sansi, through the five stages of Selected Point, has achieved six Class As and is ranked first in this Selected Point, as the Champion Leader, and will be received as the Governor Mansion's chief True Disciple!"

Class A!

Cao Fan felt as if struck by lightning, hastily looking up.

"What did Sun Dushi say?"

"Isn't he of the Nine Dragon Body?"

"The Nine Dragon Body isn't the Body of Martial Saint, is it? At most, this year he could only be considered Class B!"

"Even among Class Bs, he can't be considered the best."

"..."

The soldiers, the eliminated Selected Spear Generals, Meng Guangxin, and the other brothers almost doubted if they had heard incorrectly, until Li Qianzong repeated the content again.

"Supervisor, you, you must be mistaken, right?"

Pei Tiannan interrupted: "If I remember correctly, Mr. Chen should be of the Nine Dragon Body, shouldn't he? There hasn't been a Martial Saint for a thousand years; how could he be classified as Class A?"

"Exactly."

Mr. Hou followed and said, "Moreover, Lord Governor, inspecting the bone, inspecting the bone, you didn't even put your hands on him; how did you give a Class A?"

They found it strange.

Even if Sun Xiangzong was showing favoritism, he shouldn't have used such a low-level tactic.

"Mr. Pei, Mr. Hou, I am not of the Nine Dragon Body!"

Chen Sansi took off his robe, revealing strong and smooth muscle lines, the blood of the dragon elephant surged within him, numerous muscular veins like coiling dragons winding around his body surface, the skin on his body even reflected a metallic sheen.

From the start to the last of the Selected Point competition,

Although he was initially suppressed by Cao Fan during the martial contest, since there were no external injuries, he never directly demonstrated the defensive capabilities of the Vajra Body. Plus, wearing clothes, unless one had an exceptional vision, it was impossible to notice, which is also why bone inspection necessitated hands-on touching.

"Nine Dragon Tendon, Vajra Body, could Mr. Chen possibly be..."

Mr. Hou stepped forward, sliding a dagger out from his sleeve and lightly grazed it across the skin's surface.

"Creeeak—"

The sound of metal scraping was particularly grating at that moment!

"Vajra Body!"

Pei Tiannan also came forward to inspect: "Multiple physiques merged, you, you are the rare Transformation and Mysterious Body?!"

Transformation and Mysterious Body!

Despite his youth, those knowledgeable about Martial Bodies knew, it was indeed one of the Innate Martial Saint's bodies!

Those who understood what this entailed looked at each other with realization.

This man was actually of the Transformation and Mysterious Body!

No wonder, no wonder!

All prior strangeness suddenly seemed reasonable in the eyes of the crowd.

This was more like it.

Genius against genius!

If Chen Sansi is also of the Innate Martial Saint Body...

Then it means that for six Class As against five Class As, he truly won, undoubtedly becoming the Champion Leader of this Selected Point, and will become the chief True Disciple, and more likely, he would have the chance to come into contact with the Immortal Law that all martial artists yearn for in their dreams!

"It seems I've overextended myself and expended effort in vain."

Fang Qingyun laughed and tossed aside the scroll in his hand: "Fellow brothers, we are indeed going to have a new junior brother."

"This Selected Point's Champion Leader Chen Sansi is a True Disciple, the other Inner Sect Disciples and Outer Sect Disciples will be announced later in the form of a notice!"

"Seven days later, the master-apprentice ceremony will take place, to pass on and continue the teachings!"
