Take it!
Feng Qingan sighed and handed the snow-white longsword to Dragon Armor who was practicing under the date tree in his courtyard.
In his courtyard, there was an ordinary date tree. It was meant to be flourishing in the spring and summer season, but now, half of the branches of the tree had been broken, making it look extremely desolate.
The culprit of this was none other than Dragon Armor who was obsessed with martial arts. Without the right weapon for sword practice, he had been using the tree branches as substitutes.
Though, even with the armor, the force generated by his sword practice was too much for the branches to bear. During the practice, the branches would break.
Then, he continued practicing on the date tree. Feng Qingan couldnt stand to watch any longer. On one hand, he couldnt bear to see the poor tree being damaged anymore. On the other hand, Feng Qingan was shocked by his martial arts talent, especially in practicing various techniques.
Although it seemed unreasonable for an armor to possess martial arts talent, Feng Qingan was certain that Dragon Armor had mastered all the martial arts recorded in the manual in just seven days.
Ignoring whether this was just superficial, you could tell from the grooves created by Dragon Armors punches during his practice that his punches were definitely not light.
If it wasnt appropriate to say that he mimicked the human race in boxing, it was apparent during his sword practice. With a weapon in hand, Dragon Armors martial arts talent shone even brighter.
But the armor didnt have his weapon, so Feng Qingan gave him the Green God Sword he was holding. Of course, he was not allowed to draw the sword and had to practice with the scabbard on.
Hmmm-
Dragon Armor was overjoyed to receive the Green God Sword from Feng Qingan. Watching him practice once he received the sword, the young mans lips moved slightly, but in the end, he swallowed the words he had intended to utter.
After all, as an armor, it doesnt need to rest or eat. As long as theres Spiritual Qi, it can keep functioning, and Dragon Armor can absorb Spiritual Qi itself.
From the moment he was granted a spiritual nature by Feng Qingen, this suit of armor had been different from any other armor. You could even consider it a unique spirit. Otherwise, the appraisal wouldnt have given it a combat power rating.
However, no matter how talented he was, his obsession with constant practice was too much and exerted a great deal of pressure on those around him.
Black Mountain was even compelled to give up sleeping. He had come here to relax and enjoy the scenery with Feng Qingan, but now he was practicing day and night. Even the little white wolf that came with them was also swept up in the craze for cultivation.
The atmosphere influenced Feng Qingan and he too was absorbed in it for a
while. During the day when he was eating and drinking in the Prefecture City, he would feel a sense of urgency and pressure, thinking that he should hurry back for cultivation once he finished eating.
Luckily, this only affected him for a brief period. After Black Mountain condensed his demonic power once and made a small transformation while suppressing his realm, Feng Qingan also naturally obtained feedback.
It was after this feedback that Feng Qingan fully woke up. He stopped going with the flow and focused on urging Black Mountain and others to work hard on their cultivation. He could even afford to lay low.
Once he figured this out, his mind broadened instantly.
Having realized this, Feng Qingan let Black Mountain, Bai Yao, and Dragon Armor carry on with their diligent training day and night. He returned to his old self, indulging in food and drinks, practicing when he needed to, and sleeping without any hesitation when it was time to sleep.
As Feng Qingan was feasting, indulging in his pleasures and satisfying his desires, the day of the Prefecture Exam was quietly approaching.
As he arrived at the exam venue amidst the crowd, the streets around the exam venue were filled with hustle and bustle. The local government Yamen Runners and soldiers were scattered around the streets to maintain order.
The Prefecture Exam, regardless of its scale or the emphasis the government places on it, was a whole level above the County Exam. Even Feng Qingan wasnt given any special treatment and was thoroughly searched from top to bottom.
However, one thing remained the same as in the County Exam. Among the crowd outside the exam venue, he, the youngest among them, was still the center of attention and the topic of discussion among the candidates.
Unlike the compliments and praises in the County Exam, many candidates in the Prefecture Exam looked at Feng Qingan with a varied gaze and their remarks were mostly criticisms, with few good words.
They viewed him as too arrogant, dismissive, self-important, and disdainful of others. With sharp senses, Feng Qingan could hear many comments about him, with very few of them being compliments.
Even upon hearing these, Feng Qingan just chuckled. He was well aware of why his reputation had gone down so quickly.
Literati, after all, are fond of socializing through literature. Many candidates who had arrived in Jiangyang Prefecture in advance and had considerable family wealth would hold poetry gatherings to network with other candidates.
As the most unique candidate in Jiangyang Prefecture, Feng Qingan received countless invitations, so many that he could use them as firewood, which he actually did.
Because Feng Qingan didnt want to waste his time. At first, out of curiosity, he attended a literature gathering held by a fellow candidate from Yongning County. However, upon his arrival, he found that it was just a group of people who hadnt even achieved official rank, praising each other incessantly, with him being the main object of their adulation..
