271: Is there any problem with the selection of candidates for the national war?

Jiang Yan took a deep breath and said with a bitter smile, "Are we still fighting?"

Xiao Zhiyu held his head and stood up swaying, his face extremely pale.

"If you want to fight, you can continue, I'm not participating anyway."

His gaze towards Jiang Yuan was filled with anger, resentment, jealousy, fear, and a deep sense of dread and reverence.

Just one strike, merely one strike, had almost shattered his mental barrier, and the cold Aura like the Yellow Springs could even damage the Soul, and even the God-Devouring Worms that Xiao Zhiyu had painstakingly cultivated were harmed.

For a mental-type Martial Artist, this was a fatal injury.

"Seeing that last strike, you should all have an idea, right?" Stone Crusher suddenly spoke.

Gao Tian was surprised, "So calm? That doesn't sound like something you'd say."

Stone Crusher casually punched him on the head, but it was blocked by a reinforced defensive barrier.

"I'm not an idiot. Only a masochist would still want to challenge after seeing that."

Stone Crusher looked into the distance with a complicated expression.

At the edge of the Ice Rift Valley, the golden blood energy continuously spreading from the black-clothed youth had become so dense that it materialized, turning into rising smoke, stirring up streaks of golden lightning.

If he took another step forward, he might even be able to influence the weather.

"What kind of Body Tempering technique is this?" Yan Runan said in shock, "Or is it some special Physique?"

"At least I haven't heard of any Body Tempering technique that can reach such a terrifying level," Gao Tian said.

"It must be a special Physique, and at least SSS-rank," Stone Crusher's words were startling. "It's not inferior to my Star Dome Holy Body."

Lin Qingyan also put away the ice sword in her hand.

Before, when Jiang Yuan faced them with his fifth-stage Realm, it had already pushed them close to their limits.

And now, it was the seventh stage.

Prefecture Lord Domain.

The amplification brought by basic attributes could lead to a qualitative change in strength.

If they continued to fight.

Even if she went all out and unleashed her third talent, she probably couldn't change the outcome much.

As everyone was shocked by the invincible Aura Jiang Yuan was currently displaying.

"Bang!"

The epic-level battle halberd containing the power of the thunder dao smashed down, almost completely embedding itself in the ice layer.

"I lost."

Sikong landed on the ground, his face pale, but his demeanor was calm.

He was defeated wholeheartedly.

"No."

Jiang Yuan's voice came from a distance. "You forced me to use seventh-stage power. You won."

Sikong was stunned, looking at him blankly.

"Today's test, you passed."

After Jiang Yuan finished speaking.

Chen Zhen, who always had a stern expression, couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

And the vast grassland, filled with people, erupted in cheers after a brief silence, soaring straight into the sky.

"As expected of Senior Student Si Kong!"

"Amazing!"

"I knew Senior Student Si Kong would be fine..."

"You scared me to death, I thought even Senior Student Si Kong couldn't win, phew..."

Jiang Yuan appeared before Sikong in one step and looked at him, saying:

"That last strike was a product of the Fusion of your spirit, blood energy, and talent through a secret technique. It consumed your potential, don't use it too much."

Sikong was taken aback.

"How did you see that?"

When he saw Jiang Yuan's heterochromatic eyes, he immediately reacted.

"Your eyes... So that's it. You also have special eyes."

Jiang Yuan didn't comment and continued, "After you go back, don't rush to take recovery-type spirit materials and potions, it's easy to leave behind hidden troubles. Try to recover on your own as much as possible. Also, pay more attention to the cultivation of the visualization method. Perhaps because you devoured a divine body, your current spiritual power is somewhat lagging behind the progress of your physical growth."

"He can even see this..."

Sikong's expression was complicated, but it was hard to argue.

He looked at the overly young new Professor in front of him and couldn't help but ask:

"Just now, how much strength did you use?"

"Thirty percent, or ten percent?"

"Surely it wasn't even half a percent, right?"

Jiang Yuan smiled and said, "Who knows."

He turned around, his gaze sweeping over Lin Qingyan, Jiang Yan, and the others.

"It seems none of you want to continue."

"Alright, anyway, I've already seen your strength and talent. Today's test ends here."

Everyone was startled, not having reacted yet.

Jiang Yuan spoke again, "Sikong, Lin Qingyan, Yan Runan. These three will represent Great Xia in this year's National War."

Hearing this sentence.

Yan Runan was stunned, very surprised.

While Lin Qingyan slightly raised her delicate eyebrows.

Choosing this Emperor... Your eyesight is not bad.

Jiang Yan, Stone Crusher, and others' eyes flickered, their expressions fluctuating.

The thousands of people on the grassland were silent for a moment, then erupted in a roar.

Everyone had seen Sikong's strength with their own eyes, there was no objection.

But Lin Qingyan and Yan Runan...

Although their strength was also very strong and amazing, from a visual perspective, they seemed less powerful than the others.

For example, the Magic Demon Jiang Yan, Gao Tian, Ye Jiuling, etc...

"Why?"

"Senior Student Si Kong is fine, but shouldn't Senior Jiang Yan also have a spot?"

"Exactly."

"Why choose Senior Student Yan, who isn't even in the top ten of the academy, and not Department Head Ye?"

"Choosing a first-year student is a bit too..."

"Hmm?"

Jiang Yuan's eyes narrowed, and his Martial Dao Pressure erupted.

"Boom!"

It was like a giant peak descending from the sky, crushing down on everyone's shoulders, making it difficult for them to breathe. Some with weak wills even fainted on the spot.

Jiang Yuan's calm gaze swept across the entire field, and he said calmly, "Who participates is decided by me, it's not for others to interfere, not even the Ten Ministers Association."

"If anyone is dissatisfied, unhappy, or has questions, they can come and ask me face to face."

All the whispering fell silent.

Not a single person dared to say another word.

Looking at the young man on the ice lake who was several years younger than themselves, thousands of prodigies from all over Great Xia suddenly realized a fact.

To them, the person before them was not some junior or younger generation, nor was he a legendary monstrous talent with astonishing abilities!

He was a strong person who could suppress them with just a look, a top-tier strong person they had to revere, a Professor of the academy!

He was definitely not someone they could discuss arbitrarily!

After realizing this.

Many of the whisperers' eyes flashed with deep fear, shock, and reverence.

They were as silent as cicadas in winter.

This was the absolute right to speak brought by absolute strength.

Jiang Yuan looked at Nan Yue in the air again.

"Principal Nan Yue, you shouldn't have any objections, right?"

Nan Yue nodded, "Of course. This matter is originally the full responsibility of Professor Jiang."

Jiang Yuan nodded.

"Then it's decided."

After saying that, his figure flashed and disappeared from everyone's sight, so fast that even Chen Zhen and Professor Song Yun only saw some blurry light and shadows.

What was left for everyone was deep shock and amazement.

"This is a historical-level Prodigy..."

"Truly a monster."

"Unimaginable..."

After this day, the highly controversial discussion thread, [Who is the strongest of the younger generation in Great Xia], disappeared from the forum of the Shenwu Academy News Department.

..................

On the other side.

By the time Jiang Yuan left the Kongling Sword Domain, the sky was approaching dusk.

He went back to his parents' house to check on Mo Xixi's condition, had dinner, and then took Guan Xiaoxiao back to the Professor's residence arranged by the academy.

It was a quiet villa with an excellent environment, not only filled with various spiritual plants but also covered by layers of barriers, making even probing impossible.

Among the Professor's villas, this was considered top-tier.

"Finally, I can relax a bit."

Jiang Yuan lay down on a recliner in the yard, his black clothes changing into casual home wear. He casually took out two bottles of iced cola and handed one to Guan Xiaoxiao.

Guan Xiaoxiao took it, took a sip, and said somewhat bitterly, "After becoming a mechanical species, I can't taste cola anymore."

"It's only temporary," Jiang Yuan said with a smile. "This body is only temporarily housing your Soul. Once I find a good method, I can definitely help you reshape your Physical Body."

"Actually, besides eating, everything else is fine, I'm quite satisfied," Guan Xiaoxiao said, suddenly pinching her chest. "For example, here, it's much bigger than before..."

She said faintly, "You really like big ones, don't you?"

"Pfft."

Jiang Yuan sprayed out a mouthful of cola.
