Entering the Top Ten of the Martial Examination!

The scene before them left many bewildered—no matter how you looked at it, Zhou Taian was a Second-Rank Martial Master, so how could he fail to even block a single move?

As for the entire Martial Arts Arena, perhaps only the few on the high platform had clearly seen how Lu Feng had struck.

However, Zhou Taian was a member of the Zhou Family, and with his considerable martial talent, Zhou Yonghua, as the Zhou Family Direct Son, naturally couldn't stand by and do nothing.

But even Zhou Yonghua hadn't clearly seen how Lu Feng had defeated Zhou Taian.

So Zhou Yonghua shot a meaningful glance at a Zhou Family member below the stage, signaling him to challenge Lu Feng.

Receiving Zhou Yonghua's instruction, the young Zhou Family member, though reluctant inside, still leaped onto the Number Eight Arena.

Seeing someone challenge Lu Feng, the crowd immediately turned their gazes over—they too wanted to see if Lu Feng truly had real skill.

With everyone's eyes on him, the Zhou Family member who had stepped up made a fist and tucked his fingers toward Lu Feng, then shot forward in a single stride.

Lu Feng watched, his expression calm, and just as the opponent was about to close in, his body suddenly moved.

The next moment, his figure struck first despite moving later, his right palm directly slamming into the opponent's body.

With a bang, this Zhou Family member was once again sent flying.

The situation was exactly the same as with Zhou Taian before!

This scene startled the crowd once more—if they hadn't seen how Zhou Taian was defeated, they had clearly witnessed this Zhou Family member's loss.

The speed and palm force Lu Feng had just displayed completely surpassed that of an Early Martial Master Realm expert.

In other words, another dark horse had emerged among the participants in this Martial Examination.

As Lu Feng won again, Zhou Yonghua and Lu Wei, standing on their arenas, looked at him with subtle expressions.

As for the other arena champions, they too eyed him warily.

Fortunately, in the time that followed, no one dared to challenge Lu Feng again.

A quarter-hour passed quickly, and then the official who had announced the matches once again stepped onto the Martial Arts Arena and declared loudly.

"I announce that the second round of the Martial Examination is over. All those standing on the arenas are the Martial Scholars of this examination!"

With the official's announcement, Lu Feng and the other twenty Martial Arts Candidates immediately showed excitement.

Then the official declared again, "Now, the twenty Martial Scholars standing on the arenas, prepare for the third round!"

"This round is a draw-based competition, with rankings determined by the number of wins!"

"Those who rank in the top ten will be recommended by Prefect Xu to proceed to the Prefecture City for the Martial Arts Candidate assessment!"

At these words, the twenty people standing on the arenas all brightened.

It seemed the third round was the final competition!

After the official finished speaking, Yamen Runners immediately came up to rearrange the Martial Arts Arena.

Moments later, only ten arenas remained on the field.

The official then carried out a wooden box and said to Lu Feng and the others.

"Everyone, this box contains twenty wooden lots, each marked with a number. Those who draw the same number will compete against each other. Understood?"

The crowd nodded in understanding, and then, guided by the official, they began drawing lots one by one.

In the end, Lu Feng drew the number six, and the one who drew the same number was merely a First-Rank Martial Artist.

Upon seeing his number, the man's face immediately showed helplessness.

In truth, among those who had entered the third round, no one wanted to draw Lu Feng, Zhou Yonghua, or Lu Wei.

Drawing any of the three meant losing the chance to go to the Prefecture City Martial Arts Examination.

After drawing lots, everyone mounted their corresponding arenas based on their numbers.

Then, with the official's announcement, the third round of the Martial Examination officially began.

By now, Lu Feng was standing on the Number Six Arena, with his opponent across from him, though the man's expression was rather grim.

If you can't find the book by its title, try searching by the author—maybe it's just been renamed!

Seeing this, Lu Feng made a fist and tucked his fingers in salute, then his figure flickered as he appeared before the opponent, but before he could strike, the man suddenly shouted.

"Stop! I surrender!"

At these words, Lu Feng's right palm halted right in front of the man's face—if he had shouted a second later, the palm would have surely struck him.

Seeing the opponent concede, Lu Feng slowly withdrew his hand, made a fist and tucked his fingers, and said, "You yield!"

With that, Lu Feng turned and returned to his original spot, while his opponent was already drenched in cold sweat.

As the opponent left the arena, the other nine arenas were already in full, heated combat.

Lu Feng stood on his arena, bored, watching the others fight, though this draw hadn't paired Zhou Yonghua and Lu Wei together.

So their battles also ended quickly.

After the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, all ten arenas had decided their victors.

At that moment, the results for the top ten of the Baiyue County Martial Examination were finally out.

But the competition wasn't over—the official had them draw lots again to determine the next round.

This time, Lu Feng drew the number three lot, and his opponent was a Second-Rank Martial Master.

As for Zhou Yonghua and Lu Wei, they also drew other opponents, and the three of them did not meet in this round again.

But this time, Lu Feng's opponent did not concede directly; instead, he wanted to have a good fight with him.

Unfortunately, the strength of a Second-Rank Martial Master was still too low, and the result was that this person, like Zhou Taian, was sent flying by Lu Feng with a single palm strike, then fell to the ground unconscious.

When this round of competition ended, only five contestants stood on the Martial Arts Arena.

For the sake of fairness, they still drew lots to select opponents. Lu Feng drew the number three lot.

The other four drew the number one and number two lots.

Seeing this, the official smiled and looked at him, saying, "Lu Feng, congratulations! You have a bye this round!"

Hearing this, Lu Feng raised an eyebrow, not expecting to get a bye.

Looking again, Zhou Yonghua and Lu Wei had drawn the number one and number two lots respectively.

That meant the two of them still could not meet in this round.

So after this round of competition ended, only the three of them remained.

Then, the competition began, and in less than a quarter of an hour, the two arenas had their winners decided.

As Lu Feng expected, the final victors were Lu Wei and Zhou Yonghua.

Now only the three of them were left on the Martial Arts Arena, and the top place in this Martial Examination would be decided among them.

The official once again ascended the Martial Arts Arena and came before them, saying.

"Congratulations to the three of you for becoming the top three of this Martial Examination. As they say, in literature there is no first, but in martial arts there is no second, so the three of you must determine the first place!"

After speaking, the official took out another wooden box and gestured for them to draw lots.

Zhou Yonghua glanced at him and Lu Wei, then drew first.

This person drew the number one lot. Seeing this, Lu Feng looked at Lu Wei and said, "Miss Lu, will you go first, or shall I?"

Lu Wei thought for a moment and replied, "I'll go first!"

With that, she reached her hand into the wooden box, and when she pulled it out, the wooden slip she brought with her also bore the number one.

Seeing this, Lu Feng no longer needed to draw, because he had a bye again.

So the official beside him spoke up, "Alright, now let Young Master Zhou and Miss Lu proceed with their match."

After speaking, the official and Lu Feng went down to the stage together, leaving the entire Martial Arts Arena to the two of them.

Lu Wei and Zhou Yonghua, who remained on the stage, looked at each other, their eyes full of fighting spirit!

Zhou Yonghua then made a fist and tucked his fingers, saying, "Miss Lu, I have long wanted to have a decisive battle with you. Please enlighten me!"

Lu Wei also nodded and said, "Coincidentally, I was thinking the same. Then, please!"
