Chapter 114.

The Swimming Dragon Steps were strangely fast, and in the blink of an eye, it had already arrived in front of Mi Mo.

Mi Mo’s reaction was also quick, maneuvering Zhou An’s pan across his chest before he reached.

The other maneuvered the long knife and slashed towards Zhou An’s neck.

These were the effects of the Jedi Domain Casting, being able to manipulate other people’s weapons at will.

“It’s too slow, and you don’t know how to use knives and pans.”

Zhou An looked calm, and with a single mistake of his traveling dragon step, he crossed through the gap, followed by the weapon in his hand, directly chopping at Mi Mo’s neck.

The blade light cut through Mi Mo’s neck, Mi Mo seemed to have no body, but a huge wound appeared on the ground mine.

“Wooden knife!”

Mi Mo’s face became extremely ferocious, she did not expect Zhou An to use this move.

When he came, Zhou An was thinking that the other party was surprisingly able to control iron, or objects made of metal, so he would just fight a wooden knife.

So he chipped a piece of wood in his hand.

For experts like them, using wood could still kill people.

“Jedi Casting, still able to transfer injuries to other places, but how much can you transfer?”

Zhou An once again wiped out a wooden pan from his pink money bag, followed by a wooden pan.

If the Beast Sect Master was still alive, looking at this wooden pan, he would definitely change his expression, after all, this was the thing that killed him.

Zhou An did not hesitate to cover the top of Mi Mo’s head and forcefully upended it.

Mi Mo’s body was invisible, but the upside down pot worked.

As long as you enter the pot, regardless of whether you have a body or not, you have to give me an upside down!

All sorts of shattering began to appear on the ground’s ore, and Mi Mo was still shifting her injuries.

“It’s really powerful, worthy of being an Eight Jedi Technique, I heard that you guys can also make the mine attack others, now that’s three traits, but it seems like you’re not able to attack others, haven’t you learned it?” Zhou An’s tone carried flirtation in it.

Harnessing other people’s weapons and armor, transferring injuries, plus being able to make an entire mine, turn it into a means of attacking people.

It was worthy of being an Eight Jedi Technique.

The thousands of experts who had surrounded that Jedi Domain Casting Heir in the beginning had indeed died a not-so-wrongful death.

If one really fought inside the mine, it would be someone else’s home turf.

What’s more, if one fought to the depths, one would even be able to extend underground, toppling the mine out of the ground.

“The Eight Extreme Techniques are indeed powerful.”

Thinking like this, the air in Zhou An’s body ran even faster, madly upending Mi Mo.

Mi Mo’s expression at this moment, besides being gloomy and ironic, flashed a hint of panic.

However, she didn’t fold her arms and instead raised her hands.

In the next moment, a terrifying flame spread across her hands.

This flame was not red, but a palpitating white color.

The white flame erupted steeply.

Like a fire dragon, it surged towards Zhou An.

Terrifyingly high temperatures instantly covered the entire space.

Zhou An’s heart moved as he executed the Swimming Dragon Steps to dodge this white flame.

The flames crossed over him and landed on the ground, which was instantly melted into a deep pit.

“Almost forgot, you also know the Cremation Technique.”

Zhou An turned his head and saw the terrifying flames strike again.

Mi Mo’s body was ablaze with white flames, and the clothes on her body were disappearing as much as they could.

She had a great figure, especially the front was huge.

But when the clothes disappeared, it made it impossible to arouse any interest.

Underneath the clothing was a burned body with twisted scars everywhere, looking numbing to the scalp.

“Die die die!”

As if Mi Mo had been touched by an inner wound, her eyes became extremely frantic, and the flames on her body rose up.

With her as the center, it scattered towards the surroundings indiscriminately.

“Is this considered a price? The price of the Cremation Method?”

Zhou An said carelessly, performing the Swimming Dragon Steps to the extreme, dodging a white flame.

“The body is originally an external object, it doesn’t matter.” Mi Mo said hideously.

Zhou An teasingly said, “Then why are you furious?”

Mi Mo choked on the words and roared, “You can’t possibly get out alive today, casting!”

White flames landed on the ore on the ground, and the ore began to melt, turning into more than a dozen iron puppets.

After the iron puppets appeared, they ran towards Zhou An.

Zhou An reacted extremely quickly.

As soon as the iron puppets approached, he displayed thousands of sword lights and chopped these iron puppets into pieces.

However, the iron puppets fused again and even had white flames rising from their bodies, making them even more powerful.

“What a trouble.” Zhou An said indifferently.

The air in his body began to revolve, and he opened the Reading Hundred Scrolls.

The Level 4 Reading Hundred Scrolls had the attribute of +2 Understanding and was able to see through the opponent’s breaks.

At the moment, all the breaks were all focused on Mi Mo.

“Sure enough, if you want to exterminate the Iron Golem, you really need to capture the thief first.”

Zhou An dodged the Iron Golem’s attack and swung out his long blade once again.

The silky blade light, flew towards Mi Mo and swept over Mi Mo’s breakage.

“Bang!”

All sorts of ores exploded on the ground, walls, and also the ceiling.

This attack had the bonus of Reading Hundred Scrolls, causing Mi Mo to take deeper damage, and even the ores were partially damaged.

Mi Mo also froze.

“Who the hell are you? How do you have so many abilities!”

To be honest, before this, she was full of confidence.

Actually, this confidence was right.

In any other second-rate expert, there would only be death here.

Thinking about it carefully, the Cremation Method, the Jedi Casting, and now the Iron Puppet.

Which one of these alone would be enough for someone to go and learn for the rest of their life.

All three stacked together, any second-rate expert would have to kneel when they came.

Mi Mo was a genius, or rather a psychopath like her was a freak.

But these days, even if you have a supreme talent, can you beat an open-ended one?

Definitely couldn’t beat it!

“Who am I? Aren’t you very clear?”

As Zhou An spoke, the movements of his hands did not stop.

An endless number of slashes, one after another, all struck at Mi Mo’s broken spots.

There was a bonus to the damage dealt, and the speed at which the ore exploded was faster.

The killing aura on Zhou An’s body was also gradually rising.

“The entire mine is taking the damage for you.”

“But what happens after taking it?”

“You must die!”

Mi Mo fell into an even more obsessive frenzy as she listened to the murderous language.

“On what grounds! Why should I die!”

“You people, each and every one of you claiming to be righteous, have a lot of blood on your hands.”

“You want to be a bitch, but you also want to set up a house of cards at the same time!”

“We’ll just kill some ordinary people, what’s it got to do with you!”

Zhou An said, “You’re not a fucking ordinary person are you? You were born to be a member of the trade, weren’t you? Does being a man of the trade make you a few ranks above others?”

“Frak!”

The knife, faster.

The injuries on Mi Mo’s body were worsening, and more marks were blown out of the mine.

“I won’t die, only you can die, and I’m going to let Yun Laifu, accompany you to die!”

She knew in her heart that if Zhou An continued like this, she would only die.

Because she realized that Zhou An’s that stance was too agile, no matter how she did it, she couldn’t attack.

Mi Mo really didn’t think that a person could enjoy so many abilities.

There were ordinary martial artists who had high stances, but those were the ones who excelled in that aspect.

How could there be someone with high stance and such a strong attack power?

Now that I have seen it, but I have also lost count.

Unless ……

Mi Mo took a deep breath.

While thinking this way, Zhou An had already swung out several thousand slashes of light, bringing heavy damage to her.

The mine on the ground had been crippled.

Mi Mo was indeed able to shift, but the mine here was limited, and so was her own air.

Now one could only fight to the death.

Looking at the sealed space around him, Mi Mo closed his eyes.

The white flame on his body became even more intense.

As the flames continued to skyrocket, it was actually filling this space.

Zhou An also saw this situation and narrowed his eyes, “Filling this place indiscriminately so that I can’t hide from it, a very good ploy.”

Since the attacks were ineffective, they would be made ranged so that they could not be dodged.

Plus, this place itself was very narrow and confined, so unless one went out through the entrance just now, it would be difficult to dodge.

But once one went out, Mi Mo learned more Jedi Casting, and it would be really hard to fight then.

Looking at the flames coming at him, Zhou An’s face was however very calm.

The more dangerous the time, the more important it was to remain calm.

Panicking would only make defeat come faster.

A special air surfaced in Zhou An’s eyes, and Reading a Hundred Scrolls was used by him to the extreme.

What Comprehension +2 brought him was a break in the middle of the flames.

In the middle of the white flames, a very obvious breakage surfaced.

Zhou An lifted his wooden sword and swung out a blade light.

The blade light instantly struck out, coalescing into a cone shape in mid-air while spinning.

After achieving the top level of being able to put in and take out and lift weights with ease, Zhou An’s blade light had already possessed the ability to change.

The blade light rotated and rolled the white flames continuously.

Fire depended on the wind.

The wind could control the extent of the fire as well as the direction of the flames.

After the blade light brought up a whirlwind, the white flames were led by the blade light and eventually became a fire tornado.

At this time, Zhou An once again rotated the wooden blade and another blade light slashed out.

This blade light changed into countless threads in mid-air, bundled outside the fire dragon scroll, and at the same time struck towards the ore on the ground.

In the next moment, the ore was melted by the white flames and continued to sink, forming a terrifyingly deep pit.

As the white flames disappeared, Mi Mo’s expression became incomparably gloomy while carrying a hint of despair.

“I once killed an expert with fire, she was a Fire Prayer Master.”

Zhou An said indifferently, “Your ability is stronger than hers, but I am also too much stronger than that time.”

Mi Mo’s eyes gradually turned gray.

But there was still a glimmer of hope maintained.

She turned her head and looked at the giant sword behind her, a look of anxiety on her face.

Nowadays, the only way to kill Zhou An, or not be killed by Zhou An, was to be stronger than Zhou An.

Right now, she still had the mine on the ground, and as long as the mine was still there, she would be able to immunize herself from damage.

Before that, it was possible to enroll in Jedi Domain Casting again.

If she had a few more points of enlightenment, and was able to turn the entire mine movement into her casting, Zhou An would definitely die.

But all of this had already been seen through by Zhou An.

“You’re smart, but I’m not a fool either.”

Zhou An swung out his wooden blade and struck out with another terrifying blade light.

This time it was not struck towards Mi Mo, but towards the giant sword behind Mi Mo.

The giant sword was cast from iron, and when the blade light struck, the giant sword turned into a field of broken pieces.

“No! No!”

Mi Mo turned her head, her face filled with disbelief.

“You are also a person of casting, how dare you!”

“This is something that all casting people dream of, why did you give up destroying it?”

“Why!”

Zhou An sneered, “Because …… I have something better than it.”

What Eight Extreme Skills, it was good to get this thing, but not getting it wasn’t a loss for himself.

With proficiency in place, none of this was a thing.

“Also, things like brokenness are not something you have.”

Zhou An lowered his head and looked at the exposed ore on the ground.

In the next moment, he inserted the wooden blade into the ore, and the air transitioned into the wooden blade.

In the unseen ground, Zhou An’s Qi flowed crazily, and centered in front of him, it exploded violently.

From the ground, the appearance could not be seen, but underneath the ground, it had already been worn out by Zhou An’s blade light.

“Originally, I couldn’t see it, but you already have a connection with it, and your breakage is the breakage in the ore.”

The location of the breakage was completely destroyed in the ore.

Zhou An raised his head and looked at Mi Mo with an indifferent gaze.

The translucent shape on Mi Mo’s body gradually disappeared and changed into a solid body.

Her expression was completely desperate.

Just a moment ago, the connection between her and the ore had been completely severed.

“You were able to break the Eight Jedi Techniques!”

“No, to be precise, you haven’t practiced it yet.” Zhou An shook his head.

Whether he could break the Eight Extreme Techniques or not, he was not sure.

But this less mature Eight Extreme Techniques in front of him was easily able to break it.

Zhou An thought so, but Mi Mo did not think so.

Even the Eight Extremity Technique that had only dabbled in a little bit of skin was extremely terrifying.

She was the one who had fused three cultivation methods into one.

A scenic cremation method.

A Miscellaneous Sect Hundred Techniques Iron Puppet.

And an Eight Extreme Techniques that used to terrify people.

But now all of them were broken by the man in front of her.

“What kind of person am I …… actually fighting against?” In Mi Mo’s heart, a tremor appeared for the first time.

Zhou An stood tall, holding a wooden sword: “It’s very unpleasant, isn’t it.”

“You have always used a lofty sight, looking down on the multitudes.”

“In your eyes, ordinary people are nothing but ants.”

“How are you now not an ant?”

Mi Mo muttered to himself, “I am an ant ……”

Zhou An snorted, “In front of me, you are a weak, ant without the slightest ability to resist.”

Mi Mo opened her mouth, wanting to speak.

But before the words could be spoken, he saw that a man had already walked in from outside.

“Damn it, a pile of iron lumps, it took me so much effort!”

Zheng Sifu patted the iron shavings on his body, just in time to see the scene in front of him.

“You bitch, looks quite good, but this body is also too ugly, Zhou An, solved?”

The scene in front of him didn’t need to be seen, especially with the wretched appearance everywhere, Zheng Shifu instantly concluded that Zhou An had already solved the problem.

“Kill her and it’s completely solved.”

Zhou An lifted his wooden knife and walked over.

Just at this time, Mi Mo saw a glimmer of hope and suddenly pointed at Zhou An.

“He destroyed the Jedi Casting, I remembered part of it, you guys let me live, I’ll tell you all!”

These words were said to Zheng Sifu.

She thought that Zheng Sifu would leave her alive.

Because she did not believe that the Great Chu Kingdom did not want the Jedi Casting.

Zhou An stopped and turned his head to look at Zheng Si Fu, his eyes flat.

Today, even if the king of heaven came, Mi Mo must die.

If Zheng Sifu dared to stop him, he wouldn’t mind having a fight with Zheng Sifu, just to try out the strength of these iron palms.

Zhou An thought like this.

But the next scene made Mi Mo completely despair.

Zheng Sifu moved a huge rock and blocked the entrance of the cave, making a wink.

“Make it quick and clean.”

After saying that, he looked up at the rock at the top with a hangdog look.

Mi Mo said angrily, “Aren’t you the Zhen Gui Si! You ……”

“The Eight Extreme Techniques can show up, but not in Yunlai House, otherwise, it will be chaotic, I’m just a rough man, and I don’t want to get promoted and get rich, I just want to make these people less troublesome.” Zheng Sifu laughed.

Although a reckless look, but this person’s head can be shrewd.

Mi Mo was now completely scared.

Zhou An walked over and suddenly bent down and said in Mi Mo’s ear.

“Didn’t you say that being killed by me is also a pleasure? Are you afraid?”

The voice was soft, yet it was like a demon whispering.

Just as Mi Mo wanted to speak, she felt a pain in her neck, and immediately afterward, her vision began to blur.

The head fell to the ground and blood sprayed.

Zhou An picked up his long knife and pan and put them into the pink money bag.

“Let’s go, Lord Zheng, you and Lord Zhang have the same temperament.”

Seriously, the way Zheng Sifu acted just now made him look two points higher.

At first, when he wanted to kill Magistrate Chen, Zhang Sifu was also in favor of it, and now Zheng Sifu was equally in favor of it.

Not bad for a superior-subordinate relationship.

“It’s just for the sake of the people.” Zheng Sifu sighed, “I’ve been in Yunlai Prefecture for so many years, and I’ve gotten acquainted with those people when I buy food, so I can’t let this place get messed up, or else where will I go to buy food?”

With that, he moved the stone away.

“Zhou An, this matter, no one can say anything.”

Zhou An nodded.

Without saying much, the two left this mine.

Next, it was time to clean up the mess.

These had the Zhen Gui Si specializing in them, so Zhou An didn’t have to worry about them.

He left this mountain and headed towards the Yunlai Mansion.

When he arrived, he happened to see the Order of the Sun Mansion who was wiping his cold sweat.

The others had already woken up, each with a look of fear on their faces.

“Lord Sun is also an expert.” Zhou An laughed.

Worthy of being a government rank, Sun Fu Ling, a scholar, was able to suppress these people for such a long time.

“Stop poking fun at me, it’s already completely safe, right?” Sun Fu Order said breathlessly.

It was easy to want to kill these people, but it was too difficult to control them.

Sun Fu Order was extremely consumed and almost didn’t hold back from killing them.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, these people suddenly woke up.

Sun Fu Order guessed that Zhou An’s side had succeeded.

Zhou An nodded, all relaxed.

He suddenly thought of something.

“Where is Yu Hang?”

When he had gone to kill Mi Mo, Yu Hang had come back first, but now there was no sign of Yu Hang.

Order of Sun Fu said, “He has been sent inside the government office to recuperate, nothing serious.”

“Then I’ll go and take a look at him first.” Zhou An said.

No one stopped Zhou An, after all, the matter had already been resolved, as for this Casting Competition, it could also go on smoothly, Zhou An was the first to submit his casting anyway.

Soon, Zhou An left.

But these Casting Dao youngsters in front of them, however, looked at Zhou An’s back with extremely complicated looks.

They weren’t fools, they all knew that it was Zhou An who had solved these troubles.

But it was also at this time that a thought arose in each of their hearts.

–A world of difference.

The Zhou An who had just left was as if the heavens, while they were as if the ground was a well, the bottom of which could only be seen as such a piece.

Not only were the others strong in casting ability and not weak in combat, but looking at this appearance, they had also mixed extremely well in the Yunlai Mansion.

What to compare?

The crowd was clear.

The one who was close to Long Xing, patted Long Xing’s shoulder and said this in Long Xing’s stunned expression.

“Alas, we understand you.”

Long Xing: “Can I curse?”

The Great Dao Casting Competition finished in such a thrilling and exciting situation.

Unsurprisingly, Zhou An won the first place, as for who the second place was, Zhou An didn’t know.

He didn’t pay attention to it either.

The top two would receive the qualification to enter the Crafting Supervisor.

This qualification, however, was not something that could be obtained in a short period of time.

First, all the rankings had to be summarized and then presented to the capital for the emperor to personally review them.

After the review, only then will issue a specific appointment.

And this appointment is not to stay directly in the capital, perhaps it will be honed for a period of time in other places.

Like Lao Lin, Lao Lin is in the government level as a mineral casting hand.

In the middle of the back and forth and review, all need time.

In this regard, Zhou An was in no hurry.

He was enjoying himself right now.

With Mi Mo dead and his archenemy gone, Zhou An was now living fast, and was livering proficiency every day.

The skill, Fusion Casting Method, had significantly improved again through so many days of furious livering.

[Fusion Casting Method lv.4 (Hardness +2, Fusion +2) 14586/60,000]

Zhou An was planning this, for now, he would first liver the Fusion Casting Method to level 5, and then figure out a way to find other skills.

Nowadays, all the equipment on his body was all cast from iron ore essence.

This was something that was promised by the Sun House Order in the beginning, and it had also fulfilled Zhou An’s needs.

Things cast from Iron Ore Essence not only had a significant increase in hardness, but were also more powerful.

And during this period of time, the iron material for the liver proficiency was completely provided by the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce, so one did not have to worry about not having enough at all.

The Hengtong Chamber of Commerce had completely made a name for itself.

It now had a firm footing.

Qi Shuo had gained the Chamber of Commerce’s strong support and commendation status because of this matter, and his status had also risen.

This also led to Qi Shuo becoming more and more obedient to Zhou An, getting whatever he wanted, and the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce didn’t hesitate to get whatever they wanted.

Money, was no longer something Zhou An considered.

Now in the pink money bag, there was a huge pile of silver bills stuffed in.

In Qi Shuo’s words, they were supposed to be a deal, and now that the deal was struck, giving away some money was nothing.

It was just a billion points.

There was nothing else in the Hengtong Chamber of Commerce, but there was really a lot of money.

Zhou An was content to accept it, after all, he did help out this time.

“Old Zhou, in time for tomorrow, let’s go eat Meng Hua Lou roasted chicken.” Yu Hang put the book aside and shook his head.

During this period of time, Yu Hang’s injuries had almost healed, and with Zhen Gui Si’s unique medicine, healing was really fast.

However, Yu Hang did not return to the county, but followed Zhou An and stayed in this mansion of Qi Shuo.

The reason was simple, the imperial examinations would be held soon.

The Great Chu Kingdom was huge, so in order to avoid each candidate being too circumspect, it was held above the Prefecture level.

It happened to be Yunlai Mansion.

Yu Hang was too lazy to go back and dawdled here.

After this guy’s ribs healed, he ate another meal at Meng Hua House and became more and more interested in the roast chicken there.

Every few days, he would drag Zhou An to rub a meal.

“It seems like the exam is coming up the day after tomorrow, right?” Zhou An said helplessly, “You’re not going to review today?”

There were not many days before the imperial examinations, some time ago, this Yu Hang guy was still a waste of time, but in the last few days, he was relaxing instead.

Yu Hang cheerfully said, “No need to review, I’ve already thought about it.”

Zhou An was even more strange, feeling that Yu Hang was not right.

“I used to be like this, in the last few days, I was nervous to read, and as a result, I became more and more nervous when I arrived at the examination center, now it’s different, I want to relax.” Yu Hang carefully analyzed it.

It was indeed like this, there are times when the temporary clasp has to also have a degree, the more nervous it goes on the easier it is to make mistakes.

“Go go go, make a trip.”

Zhou An has no choice but to follow Yu Hang out the door and head to Meng Hua Lou.

Meng Hua Lou was worthy of being a first-class restaurant in Yunnan Province, even when it was near the afternoon, it still had customers like clouds.

Zhou An and Yu Hang had just entered, when a store assistant came up.

“Mr. Zhou, Mr. Yu, second floor elegant room please.” The store assistant fawned.

Recently, they had eaten a bit frequently, so the store assistant also knew the two of them and had specially reserved a private room.

Zhou An did not talk nonsense, and Yu Hang went up to the elegant room on the second floor.

After ordering the food, it didn’t take long for the wine and food to come up.

Zhou An ate while chatting with Yu Hang.

If it was anyone else, after experiencing so many things, I’m afraid that they would have already had some shadows.

But Yu Hang was different, Yu Hang was only silent for two or three days and quickly returned to his original state.

Zhou An also did not know what Yu Hang thought, every time he asked, Yu Hang just had a very casual expression.

“It’s fine, it’s all in the past.”

He knew very well that the more this brother of his was like this, the more there was something going on, so he had to ask about this meal today.

It wasn’t considered private.

“Old Yu, let’s brother and sister make these things clear today, so don’t beat a dead horse for me again.” Zhou An and Yu Hang clinked glasses and drank the cool liquor in the cup.

Yu Hang put down his glass after drinking, still with a casual expression, and was about to speak when he was stopped by Zhou An’s eyes.

He was helpless and knew this brother’s character well, if he really made this expression up, he probably really wanted to ask for clarification.

“Xue Wen can’t save the people.”

Yu Hang sighed and said in a very helpless tone.

“A man of letters, with no power in my hands, after being kidnapped by that woman, I suddenly had an epiphany.”

“At that time, I was humiliated, and I only thought of one thing, I’m really useless as a person.”

Zhou An poured a cup for Yu Hang, “Words can’t be said like that, everyone has everyone’s ability, how much ability to do how much.”

A person’s ability is so little, and efforts can be improved.

But before you work hard, don’t think about doing things that don’t belong to your ability.

When you have reached that standard of ability through effort, then do it.

Otherwise, it’s just a case of low eyesight.

Yu Hang laughed: “Old Zhou, I understand all this reasoning, so I’m letting it all go, just do your best in this exam, and when you pass, become a party parent official.”

“Then manage a party of land, let the people have clothes to wear, have food to eat, have surplus money to do what they like.”

“If I don’t pass the exam, I’ll never take it again.”

Zhou An mused, “Then what are you going to do?”

He saw this brother of his own family let go, and was actually quite relieved in his heart, but with these words behind him, he seemed to hear something different.

It meant that there were ideas behind it.

Yu Hang clinked glasses with Zhou An and said, “Learning martial arts!”

“Back when we were young, when the master of the martial arts school came across the two of us by chance, he said that my talent could be higher than yours, Old Zhou.”

“Since it’s useless to learn literature, let’s learn martial arts, and when we’re good at it, then we’ll go and fight those doggone evil people.”

Zhou An stopped moving.

To be honest, he felt surprised himself when he heard this answer from Yu Hang.

He did not expect that Yu Hang would think of practicing martial arts.

Since this guy grew up, he only knew how to read and thought that reading was the only thing.

Perhaps in other times, this was indeed possible.

But in times as bizarre as these, without stepping into the threshold, it would be difficult to shelter others, not to mention oneself.

In a situation like Yu Hang’s, one really couldn’t go into it on one’s own.

If one went off on a tangent, one might be able to say a few words, but Yu Hang’s decision was not to go off on a tangent.

Yu Hang was still eating his food, and when he saw Zhou An’s sullen look, he laughed and said, “Old Zhou, you haven’t taken the test yet, what if you can get in? There’s no need to think so much.”

Seeing this, Zhou An could only sigh.

The two of them ate this meal until it was almost dark before returning to their room.

In these next few days, Zhou An once again indulged in the progress of his proficiency.

Every day, he went to forge iron, and the clanking sound kept ringing out.

He basically didn’t stop much from morning to night.

A few more days passed like this.

It wasn’t until the morning that Zhou An finally stopped.

“Old Zhou, walking.”

Wearing a light outfit, Yu Hang stood at the door and greeted him.

After going through all sorts of storms, this year’s imperial examinations had finally come.

Zhou An didn’t quite understand how the ancient society in his previous life took the exams, but what the Great Chu Kingdom took the exams for was something extremely practical.

Since the founding of the country, Emperor Xingwu abolished the old system and converged all the exams into the imperial examinations.

And once a year, according to the results of the allocation of specific official positions.

There are big and small, but the big ones do not exceed the government level.

The government level is not only the government order this one official, there are also large and small other official positions.

For example, Wang Mang, who was here before, held a position here.

Of course, the ones with good grades went towards the county magistrate.

Some county magistrates passed the selection process and went to higher positions, and the positions naturally became vacant.

The number each year would depend on the situation.

Anyway, only this number is recruited, whoever is good will go up.

There were three days in the imperial examination.

The first day was a test of scripture, the second day was a test of governance, and the third day was a test of articles.

Eat, drink and shit all inside, not allowed to go out.

It could be described as extremely strict.

“Let’s go.” Zhou An intended to see Yu Hang off.

The two of them left the door and rushed towards the government office.

First, they would gather at the government office, and then they would uniformly go to the examination location, and they were not even allowed to bring brushes, ink, paper and inkstones, and they had to be strictly inspected.

When the two arrived at the government office, there was already a large group of readers who had arrived early.
