The fourth examination of the imperial examination system is the county examination, which is held every six years in Xishan. The cultivation level must be at the fourth level of the warrior realm and below, and the age of the participants is under seventy years old.
Elite children with foreign surnames and elite children with Yang surnames from the seven counties under the jurisdiction of the Yang family participated in the selection, and a total of thirty true descendants of the Yang family were selected.
In this way, the number of true disciples of the entire Yang family will be maintained at a minimum of ninety. Of course, there are also some geniuses who will suddenly emerge.
The position of true disciple needs to be fought for by everyone, and Yang's identity can no longer bring any advantages.
As for these elite disciples, when they are over forty-two years old, they have not advanced to become true disciples.
Regardless of whether they have a foreign surname or a Yang surname, although they can retain their status as an elite member of the Yang family, the family's subsidies are also cancelled, and they can only receive tasks in exchange for training resources.
However, as long as they are under seventy years old, they can take part in the county examination. If they become the top thirty, they can also enjoy the treatment of the true descendants of the Yang family.
In addition to choosing a natal spiritual art at will, you can also enjoy the martial arts retreat twice a month. There are also monthly family subsidies such as spiritual objects and jade coins.
However, all the elite children this time are newly selected, so it has reached this stage.
There were only a few dozens of people participating in the seven counties. Most of them had just advanced to the third level of the martial arts realm and were approaching the age limit of seventy. Most of them were descendants of the Yang family.
The most conspicuous among them is Yang Xingjing, the eldest son of the Xing generation, the eldest son of the Yang Sheng clan, the eldest grandson of Yang Hongyang, and the father of Yang Chengyi.
However, as he eliminated many members of the third level martial arts clan and successfully obtained the status of a true disciple, he gradually felt the pressure.
"Uncle Sheng Yan!"
This time the person facing him was a monk at the fourth level of the martial arts realm, named Yang Shengyan.
This is the lineage of the original fifth family of the Yang family. Compared with the other four families, the fifth family originally had fewer heirs.
Moreover, Yuzong, the last of the five martial artist-level ancestors of the Yang family, was from Wufang, so his family background was not thin.
After the first micro-earth line in Xishan was formed and fed back, Yang Huaichang of the fifth room successfully advanced to the warrior realm, and became the fourth generation direct descendant of the family.
As his grandson, the sixth generation Yang Shengyan naturally became his direct lineage after detecting the immortal spirit orifice.
In this way, with sufficient resources, his cultivation level has also advanced rapidly, all the way to the fourth level of the warrior realm.
Yang Shengyan also smiled bitterly when he saw that his opponent was Yang Xingjing. If he met others, he would still be confident.
But when I met these seven generations of gate chiefs, I was afraid that my county examination would be over.
Just look at the three Yang Shengdao brothers and you will know that they have actually crossed a great realm. With their mortal realm cultivation, they have defeated many warrior realm monks in their family one after another, and have joined the ranks of the elite disciples of the Yang family.
Although Yang Xingjing is not as good as the three of them, he is not far behind. After all, his father and ancestors are both real people, and he is the great-great-grandson of the current patriarch Yang Chengzhao.
This is because he didn't know that Yang Xingjing's great-grandfather Yang Huaili just faked his death and entered Xijun. It can be said that everyone in his lineage is in the realm of real people.
"Nephew Xingjing, this is a big family competition. Even though I am older and have a little more cultivation, I won't give in. Be careful!"
"Nephew, wake up. You and I are our direct uncles and nephews. Naturally, we will not hurt our feelings because of the competition!"
Although Yang Xingjing was only at the third level of the martial arts realm, he first helped his grandfather Yang Hongyang handle many affairs.
He also followed his father, Yang Sheng, out of Huang Yao County for many years, and he has become very decent in speaking and doing things.
After the two exchanged pleasantries, they acted at the same time as if they had a clear understanding of each other. Obviously, neither party dared to be careless.
Yang Xingjing's seventh generation direct descendant must be extraordinary. Yang Shengyan is also the most promising person in Wufang today. It is conceivable that the resources and spiritual objects in the past are not much inferior.
For a time, the fight between the two attracted many members of the Yang family to watch.
"drink!"
Yang Xingjing stepped on his feet, and a khaki spiritual light attacked Yang Shengyan. It was the Yang family's signature spiritual technique, the Earth-Splitting Spiritual Technique.
"Condensation!"
A phantom of a rock appeared in front of Yang Shengyan, and at the same time, his body seemed to be covered with a layer of dark armor, a defensive spiritual technique, the Rock Armor Spiritual Technique.
boom!
The two spiritual arts collided, and billowing smoke and dust suddenly rose from the field.
Yang Shengyan has cultivated to the late martial arts realm, so naturally he is not a rookie in the greenhouse.
While blocking Yang Xingjing's attack, he held a long sword in his hand and used the Mountain Splitting Technique, slashing towards him with a streak of yellow sword light.
An earthen wall came out of thin air. Although the yellow sword light broke through the wall, its power was greatly reduced. A small yellow magic weapon shield emerged and was easily blocked.
The two of them are indeed the direct descendants of the Yang family, and one is at the third level of the martial arts realm, and the other is at the fourth level of the pure Qi realm.
As soon as they fought, all kinds of spiritual arts and magic weapons came out, which made many tribesmen watching the battle excited.
Needless to say, there was no need to say much about the two previous village examinations and town examinations. Except for Yang Shengdao and a few others, most of the martial arts monks watching the battle were people close to them.
As for the third county test, although it is a competition between warriors, most of them have advanced to the martial arts stage and have no spiritual skills or weapons, so it is not as enjoyable as watching the scene now.
What's more, this fourth trial was hosted by a real person from the family.
Yang Hongyang, who returned from traveling to Leizhou, has taken over many of the family's affairs again, and he is the examiner of the Yang family's county examination.
At this time, seeing his grandson's cultivation at the third level of the martial arts realm not falling behind against Yang Shengyan, he couldn't help but nod slightly.
Yang Xingjing and Yang Shengyan, one is the direct descendant of the seventh generation of the Yang family, and the other is the genius of the fifth family. It can be said that they are matched with each other and will meet good talents.
Not only did the Yang family members below enjoy watching it, but many elders of the Yang family also nodded frequently. These are the seeds of the family's real world.
"Eldest brother, with Sheng Yan here, I will have no worries about inheriting the title for eight generations!"
Yang Huaiduan from the second room looked at Yang Shengyan in the field and couldn't help but feel envious.
"What did the second brother say? Your great-grandsons are not bad either. Now the family has made an appointment. If you choose one and train it well, you will be able to preserve the lineage and retain the direct lineage!"
Yang Huaichang also knew that in his second brother's lineage, there were no outstanding people in the Hong and Sheng generations. In the 120th year of the Gregorian calendar, he heard that the family was going to raise the standard for direct lineage.
After relying on a lot of favors and selling out a lot of old faces, on the eve of the adjustment, he forced his youngest son to advance to the late martial arts realm, preserving his direct lineage to the seventh generation.
"Hey, if you are at the fifth level of the martial arts realm, that's it. I still have some confidence. The Hongsheng generation will not be able to make it, but the great-grandson Xing generation has a few talents that can be made.
But seeing that the standards for the direct descendants of the family are getting higher and higher, and now the family's true level is no less than ten. If this is raised again, brother, I don't know what to do.
I and other old guys have only lived for a lifetime now. If the descendants cannot enter the genealogy of Cheng and Tian, how can I have the face to meet my father and ancestors, Yanzong and Qingzong. "
Yang Huaiduan's tone was full of worry.
"Hey, let me tell you, brother, children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. It is enough for you to be able to protect your children for seven generations.
The clan has been lenient enough to us. If future generations still fail to live up to our expectations and lose our lineage, then we are also not living up to our expectations.
When you get underground tomorrow, Grandpa Er, I will be there to help you negotiate! "
"Alas, having said that, parents must have far-reaching plans when it comes to their children. If we don't take advantage of the fact that we still have some status and affection to plan for the future generations, how can we compare with the eyes!"
Yang Huaiduan was not relieved when he heard Yang Huaichang's words of comfort, but he had no choice but to sigh.
Yang Huaichang also smiled bitterly when he heard this. This was Yan'er's wish. If not, he would have suffered back pain even if he was sitting in a different place and talking!
