Chapter 255: Earning Newfound Respect!
Xin Lin watched with a cold, detached expression, her crimson lips slightly curling.
Having ingested Bone Marrow Cleansing Powder for so many days, there was no way to find any remnants of the drug.
Not to mention, Bone Marrow Cleansing Powder wasn’t poison at all.
Little Xinzhuo was simply idolizing his Sister to death.
Why didn’t it take effect earlier, and had to act up at this very moment?
Xin Lin smiled without a word, knowing that as long as the dosage was well controlled, it was natural to calculate precisely when the medicine’s effect would manifest. What she did was nothing but child’s play compared to what Chu Tianyi did to Silly Chu.
The Imperial Physician who stepped forward to diagnose shook his head.
Chu Miaoyun’s pulse was stable, and other than lacking True Qi, there were no abnormalities. By all accounts, she was just an ordinary person.
"It’s impossible, how could this be possible, I’m really poisoned."
Chu Miaoyun burst into tears with a cry.
Without a shred of True Qi, she was no different from a disabled person.
"Jeez, who would have thought Chu Miaoyun was actually a sham. If it wasn’t for her father being Chu Tianyi, how could the Third Prince fancy such stuff?"
Jin Chen also wore an expression of mockery.
Not even being a Xuanwu Practitioner, she wasn’t qualified to mingle with them and the Prince Faction. After today, barring any unforeseen events, Chu Miaoyun would be stripped of her noble status.
General Zuo signaled for Chu Miaoyun to be taken away.
The Martial Arts Examination continued.
Following Chu Miaoyun, another Xuanwu Practitioner appeared, a young boy ranked at Dark Martial Artist Second Rank, named Chen Xuan.
"Ah Zhuo, it’s your turn, go for it!"
Xin Lin watched as Little Xinzhuo approached the Longteng Stele.
Little Xinzhuo was somewhat nervous. After stepping forward, he didn’t immediately throw a punch.
General Zuo stood by, his gaze intense, watching Little Xinzhuo.
He straightened his spine and let out a light shout. His small fist swung out and hit the stele.
A line of text then appeared on the stele.
"Martial Arts Apprentice cultivation, Low Grade Martial Artist aptitude."
General Zuo’s eyes dimmed; indeed, the child had not inherited the supreme talent of General Shi.
"A worthless Apprentice, what’s the use in writing a good article, all bark and no bite is a scholar."
Jin Chen was petty, irked by Little Xinzhuo’s dazzling paper in the Written Examination.
Just an Apprentice, and from a commoner background, what could he amount to?
But just moments later, another line of text appeared on the Longteng Stele.
"Basic-level Spirit Master, top-grade Spiritual Practitioner aptitude."
Ten words that surprised General Zuo.
The Seventh Prince, he was actually a Spiritual Practitioner!
Inside the North Square, there was a wave of exclamations.
There it was, the first Spiritual Practitioner of this year’s Zixiao Palace Exam had emerged.
Due to geographical reasons, the concentration of Spiritual Energy in Longteng Country wasn’t very abundant, and the number of Spiritual Practitioners was far fewer than Martial Artists.
Every year in the Zixiao Palace Exam, the chance of a Spiritual Practitioner appearing was very low, often just one a year.
No one expected this year’s Spiritual Practitioner to be a child.
Little Xinzhuo was the first Spiritual Practitioner.
"That child is actually a Spirit Warrior."
"It is said that even in the Zixiao Palace Exam each year, it’s rare to have a Spirit Warrior."
"That’s Xin Zhuo who ranked fourth in the Written Examination."
"Wow, fourth in written, top-grade in martial, could this little fellow be the champion of this year’s Imperial Examination?"
The crowd around buzzed with various discussions, everyone envious and impressed.
Jin Chen’s face turned ashen.
The despicable runt, he’s actually a Spirit Master!
Truly a missed strategy, he had been focusing on Murong Ziyue all along, considering Murong Ziyue to be his biggest threat in the Martial Examination, not expecting Xin Zhuo to suddenly emerge out of nowhere.
Little Xinzhuo saw the words on the Longteng Stele and exhaled in relief. Turning around, he searched the crowd for Xin Lin and waved enthusiastically at her.
"Sister, I’ve done it, I haven’t let you and mother down!"
