Chapter 18 End of Year Assessment
Seeing that Prince Yunwu did not punish Zhang Ruochen, but instead punished Concubine Xiao, Concubine Lin breathed a sigh of relief and immediately pulled Zhang Ruochen aside.
Concubine Lin still couldn't believe what had just happened and said, "Chen'er, have you really become a real warrior?"
"Yes!" Zhang Ruochen nodded and stopped hiding.
"You have just become a warrior and are going to take the end-of-year assessment. What if you encounter danger?" Lin Fei was a little worried.
Zhang Ruochen said: "Even if you don't do anything, won't you encounter danger? Mother, don't worry, I will do my best and do my best."
Only young warriors under the age of 20 can participate in the end-of-year assessment.
The Prince of Yunwu has a total of nine sons and thirteen daughters.
The fifth prince, the sixth prince, the seventh prince, the eighth prince and the ninth prince are all under the age of twenty. Except for the seventh prince who is not in the royal city, the other four princes will all take the assessment.
In addition to the direct prince and princess, the families of the royal relatives will also select three of the best young warriors to participate in the end-of-year assessment. For example, the Lin family.
The relatives of the royal family had arrived one after another, gathered on the periphery of the royal family's martial arts field, forming camps.
In the royal city, some important figures, such as martial arts powerhouses at the Earth's extreme realm, the sect leader of the sect, and the heads of the large-scale heads, also received invitation letters and came to the royal martial arts court to watch the ceremony.

"Boss, the invitation letters from the royal family were also sent to Qingxuan Pavilion in previous years, but you have never been there. This year, why are you planning to watch the ceremony?" Mo Hanlin followed Qin Ya and asked in confusion.
Although it was cold winter, Qin Ya was wearing a crimson long dress, revealing her two snow-white jade arms and sexy collarbones, as if she couldn't feel the cold.
Qin Ya's eyes had a charming smile, her lips were rosy and crystal clear, and she said, "If you meet someone you are interested, you naturally want to know more about him."
"What the boss lady is talking about the Ninth Prince?" Mo Hanlin said.
"Haha! Is there anyone else besides him?" Qin Ya smiled.
Two months ago, after Zhang Ruochen went to Qingxuan Pavilion, Qin Ya sent someone to check him out.
What surprised Qin Ya was that the firm-minded boy did not open the divine martial arts mark in the past sixteen years, but was just an ordinary person. Moreover, he was weak and sick, and was lying in bed all year round.
She even found out Zhang Ruochen's miserable situation in the palace, the grudges between Lin Fei and the Lin family, etc.
However, such a young man actually spent 100,000 silver coins to buy a large number of pills and two real martial arts treasures from Qingxuan Pavilion.
Where did he come from the huge amount of silver coins?
What's the secret about him?
In Qin Ya's opinion, the Ninth Prince who was looked down upon by everyone was completely confused and made her unable to figure it out.
Driven by curiosity, she planned to go to the end of the year to watch the ceremony in person, wanting to see how many secrets are hidden in Zhang Ruochen?
"Boss, you actually came to the royal martial arts field too? It's really unexpected." Lin Fengxian saw Qin Ya wearing a scarlet long dress from afar, and took the initiative to say hello to the other party.
In Lin Fengxian's eyes, Qin Ya is also a very mysterious woman.
He had only seen Qin Ya from afar and was not familiar with her. But he knew that the other party had huge financial resources, which was enough to affect the economic operation of the entire royal city, and he was definitely not a very simple woman.
It is said that in the Wuhan City, five out of ten shopkeepers were helping her with work.
However, the boss’s wife has always been a god-like dragon without seeing the god-tail, and it is very difficult for the head of a big family to see her.
If you can make friends with her, it will only benefit the Lin family, but not the harm.
Qin Ya glanced at Lin Fengxian, raised her eyes slightly, and said, "Who is your lord?"
Mo Hanlin whispered: "Boss, he is the head of the Lin family, Lin Fengxian."
"Lin Family? Oh! It's interesting!" Qin Ya's eyes lit up, and she immediately showed an elegant smile, and said, "It turns out that it is the head of the Lin Family, who is rude and rude!"
Lin Fengxian didn't expect that Qin Ya was such a easy-to-talk woman, and smiled and said, "Two years ago, when Lin went to Qingxuan Pavilion to buy a batch of elixirs, he asked to meet the boss's wife. Unfortunately, the boss's wife had an urgent matter at that time, so Lin just glanced at the boss's wife from a distance. Two years have passed, and the boss's wife has become more beautiful!"
"Two years ago..."
Qin Ya had no impression at all, but she still had a smile on her face.
She looked at the warriors of the Lin family behind Lin Fengxian, stared at Lin Ningshan, and said, "This should be the second lady of the Lin family, right? She is such a little beauty, which makes me feel ashamed of myself."
Lin Ningshan stood behind Lin Fengxian, wearing a snow-like white dress, swaying black hair, soft and thin figure, and a beautiful and delicate face. She was simply a standard little beauty.
But it may not be said that the boss’s wife is not as beautiful as hers.
All we can say is that each has its own temperament.
"Boss, do you actually know the little girl?" Lin Fengxian said in surprise.
Qin Ya naturally didn't know Lin Ningshan, but she had investigated Zhang Ruochen. Among them, one of the people who had the greatest influence on Zhang Ruochen was this beautiful Lin.
So, she wrote down the name Lin Ningshan by the way.
Qin Ya smiled and said, "I have heard of one of the four beauties of Yunwu County and the country. It is said that even the noble Prince of Nine has been pursuing Miss Lin. It is really enviable!"
A sixteen-year-old young warrior from the Lin family sneered, "The Ninth Prince is just being self-indulgent. With his qualifications, even if he practices for a hundred years, he will not be worthy of Sister Shan'er."
Another young warrior from the Lin family, who was a little older, smiled and said, "After the end-of-year assessment, Sister Shan'er will be engaged to His Highness the Seventh Prince. The Ninth Prince is a toad who wants to eat swan meat. It is not only stupid, but also ridiculous."
These two young warriors from the Lin family are called Lin Chengwu and Lin Tianwu respectively.
Lin Ningshan, Lin Chengwu, and Lin Tianwu are the three most outstanding young geniuses selected by the Lin family. They represent the Lin family and participate in the end-of-year assessment.
Qin Ya touched her snow-white chin, as if she had discovered some amazing secret, and said, "Miss Lin is actually going to get engaged to His Highness the Seventh Prince. It's really a matter of congratulations. If the news spreads, I'm afraid the women in the entire royal city will be envious and jealous for this!"
Lin Ningshan pursed her lips gently, and a hint of joy appeared in her eyes. After all, being able to marry the Seventh Prince is definitely the dream of countless women in Yunwu County.
She is now very close to her dream!
The end-of-year assessment is divided into literary examination and martial examination.
Literature exams are not valued.
Even if you win first place in the literary exam, you will only be praised for a few words at most. Only when you perform well in the martial arts exam can you get generous rewards from the royal family.
The martial arts examination has begun!
The first round of the martial arts test: tests strength.
In the martial arts field, there are black stone plates of different sizes, divided into ten heavyweight classes.
The smallest stone tray is only half a meter in diameter and weighs one hundred kilograms!
The largest stone tray has a diameter of three meters and a weight of one thousand kilograms!
Test your strength in order of age, from small to large.
The little county lord Zhang Yulin was the first to enter the martial arts court. This year, she is only six years old. She is one meter tall and has a pink and jade-like appearance. She is well-behaved and cute.
"Wow!"
The little princess walked to the black stone plate with a diameter of only half a meter, stopped, and the true energy in her body started to flow in her meridians. Her hands held the edge of the stone plate, which seemed a little difficult. After all, she lifted the stone plate of 100 kilograms.
"Bang!"
She tried hard to throw the stone plate out, and the stone plate fell to the ground one meter away.
The little princess looked a little disappointed and stared at the second stone plate again.
The second stone plate weighed 200 kilograms. The little princess used all her strength but could not lift the stone plate. In the end, she had to give up and retreat.
"The little princess, when she was four years old, opened the divine martial marks. Now she can actually lift a stone plate of 100 kilograms. It's amazing. She will definitely be another great daughter of heaven in the future."
Prince Yunwu, who was sitting above, nodded softly. There was one more genius among his children, so he was naturally very happy.
Subsequently, the Ten Princess and the Eleventh Princess also tested their strength, their ages were fourteen and ten years old respectively.
The ten princess' cultivation level reached the middle stage of the Huangji realm, and she lifted a 200-pound stone plate and hit seven meters away. Unfortunately, she was unable to lift the 300-pound stone plate and finally had to give up.
The ten princesses also reached the middle stage of the Huangji realm, and also lifted the two hundred pounds of stone plate and knocked it out six meters away.
However, considering that the Eleventh Princess is four years younger than the main ten county, the Eleventh Princess' performance is even better after comprehensive evaluation.
The three princesses in the first three are under fourteen years old, and they are all women, and they are weaker than men in terms of strength, so they can only lift a stone plate weighing 200 pounds at most.
Next, the battle between real geniuses.
Lin Ningshan is fifteen years old this year. Among the warriors except the three princesses, she is the youngest. Therefore, she becomes the next young genius to enter the martial arts field.
She skipped the nine stone trays in front and walked to the tenth stone tray.
The tenth stone tray has a diameter of three meters and a weight of one thousand kilograms.
"rise!"
Lin Ningshan used the surging true energy in her body, and used only one hand to hold the stone plate that was larger than her body with one hand, and easily lifted the stone plate weighing thousands of pounds above her head.
Ordinary people can't imagine that such a slender body can withstand such a terrible weight.
She is only fifteen years old!
Lin Ningshan twisted her five fingers, and the thousand-pound stone plate immediately flew out of her palm, landed on the ground fifteen meters away, and smashed a huge pit on the ground.
"Oh my God! It's so awesome! Another amazing genius has been born in the Lin family."
"It's just a woman. Her body cannot be compared with a man. She can lift a thousand-pound stone plate with one hand. I wonder how powerful her cultivation has reached?"
...
Prince Yunwu, who was sitting above, also showed a look of amazement and said, "Whose genius girl is this? Such talent is probably not much different even compared to Princess Ninth!"
The queen was very satisfied with Lin Ningshan's performance and smiled and said, "King, she is the daughter of the head of the Lin family, named Lin Ningshan. I actually think she is very outstanding and intends to get her engaged to the Seventh Prince and get married."
"It turns out it was that little girl. I have some impression of her. With her talent and family background, I am worthy of Qi'er."
Prince Yunwu frowned slightly, looked at Zhang Ruochen who was standing on the edge of the martial arts field, and said, "However, I remember that she and Jiuer were good playmates when she was a child. They were cousins and sisters, so they were childhood sweethearts. I had discussed with the old man of the Lin family and planned to make a doll marriage for them. Unfortunately, the incident three years ago happened, and the engagement was left unresolved."
The queen smiled and said, "The king is confused! With Lin Ningshan's current talent, how could he look down on the Ninth Prince? The two of them are no longer from the same world, and the gap in the future will only become bigger and bigger."
"With her talent, even if she is a concubine for the Seventh Prince, I believe she will be very willing. The Lin family will never miss this opportunity to please the Seventh Prince."
Prince Yunwu also nodded slightly, and had to admit that the Ninth Prince's talent is indeed far inferior to Lin Ningshan. There is nothing we can do about this!
In the martial arts world, the combination of strong men and weak women is very common.
