Chapter 132 Immortal Law

"Wait a moment!"
Pei Tiannan challenged, "Mr. Chen, why did you conceal your physique, you're suspected of cheating!"
"Marquis Pei, a lofty Martial Saint, surely can't be unaware that the Transformation and Mysterious Body unfolds gradually as the realm improves?"
Fang Qingyun explained, "When the Selection Officer went to fetch him, what he displayed was indeed the Nine Dragon Body."
"The most crucial point, isn't cheating supposed to involve falsifying one's physique, like mistaking the Sword Heart Body for the Tongjian Body, which if not scrupulously distinguished can be confused, and the early stage cultivation strength wouldn't differ much, using this method to snatch a Class A rating?"
"Who would report a worse physique than they possess, isn't that just asking for a loss?"
"You!"
Pei Tiannan was at a loss for words.
"..."
Cao Fan's face darkened with complexity.
On one hand, he was slightly comforted that he had not lost to a mere Nine Dragon Body.
On the other, he had truly lost.
And it was like lifting a rock only to drop it on his own feet!
Originally, both could have become True Inheritors.
If he had known earlier...
"Lord Governor."
Pei Tiannan wiped his face and said with a beaming smile, "What about taking on two this year?"
"Xiao Pei, you can talk nonsense, that's fine,"
Sun Xiangzong replied in a calm tone, "But with so many watching, I can't mimic you."
"..."
Pei Tiannan's mouth twitched, "Commander, you make a fair point!"
At this stage of events, how could he not understand?
They lacked insight to see through clothes and recognize the Transformation and Mysterious Body, but Sun Xiangzong probably knew it clear from the start of the competition!
He even sneakily gave them a chance, which they declined themselves!
With this turn of events, even if the Cao Family learned the whole truth later, they would have nothing to say.
And the more prestigious the identity, the more they must abide by the rules, at least outwardly, as they need to maintain their prestige before so many warriors.
"How cunning!"
Born in the Imperial Palace, Mr. Hou was well-versed in the art of manipulation; he was simply unable to think due to the opponent's irresistible martial power before.
Now that he had come to his senses, they were all played, the surname Sun had banked on their unwillingness to yield.
The one fortunate thing in this misfortune.
It was Chen Sansi, who could be considered the emperor's man; likely if he ever acquired any Immortal Law, he would be willing to dedicate it to the court.
This loyal individual would also remember the emperor's grace, after all, the emperor was the first to recognize him, conferring titles and medicine upon him.
'The emperor truly has the skill to know and employ people!'
Mr. Hou sighed with emotion.
"Princely Heir, I've done all I could."
Sun Xiangzong approached, deliberately patting his shoulder, speaking amiably, "But there have been cases of those from the Inner Sect being promoted to True Inheritors in previous years, thou should strive for it!"
"Thank... you for the tip, Commander!"
Cao Fan cupped his fists, his thoughts complex, yet he remained outwardly respectful.
"Alright, disperse now."
Fang Qingyun pushed the wheelchair, "Little junior brother, go back and recover well, return after seven days for the entry-level ceremony, I am the fourth, just call me Fourth Senior Brother."
Chen Sansi nodded, "I understand, Fourth Senior Brother."
"Also,"
Fang Qingyun spoke earnestly, "Little junior brother, after your victory, many will come to you, some with good intentions and some not, you must judge for yourself."
"Thank you for the warning, Senior Brother."
Walking out of the Military City.
Various officials had been waiting there for a long time.
"Mr. Chen! Would you honor my humble abode with a visit?"
"Sir, the Immortal Crane Tower invites you!"
"General Chen, I have a granddaughter, she could be a concubine to you."
"..."
Winning the Selection Point, with the Body of Martial Saint, would be equivalent to being the Martial Arts Top Scholar in the Capital City.
It meant that, given time, even if he were as slow on the uptake as Meng Guangxin, he was still guaranteed to become a main general of the Profound Image Realm at the very least.
The main generals of the Eight Camps are all Second-rank officials, with some achieving a first-rank noble title for their merits; naturally, many seek to currying favor and ingratiate themselves.
Chen Sansi declined them all.
He did not lack wealth; these people could not offer him any resources, so there was no need for these connections yet.
Now that he had won the Selection Point, Chen Sansi started to plan the step-by-step goals he would need to achieve next in his mind.
Firstly, it was naturally to learn from a master. To find a method to break through Above Martial Saint was optimal; who wouldn't want to see a bigger world, although it was still far off.
Secondly, to improve his strength to Refining Internal Organs Perfection as soon as possible, and then to Hua Jin.
In Liangzhou, the mere strength of Refining Internal wasn't enough.
Let alone the fact that he had offended many, all high-ranking officials from noble families, who were all waiting to take his life, only refraining due to rules for now.
But whether they could restrain themselves after the Selection Point controversy subsided was uncertain.
Moreover, it seemed that not all in the Eight Camps were of one mind.
Recalling the final competition, Chen Sansi distinctly felt that Cao Fan had some understanding of the Unity Spear Technique; it was possible that someone had demonstrated it to him a few times.
That was normal; even blood brothers squabble over the division of inheritance, let alone martial brothers—it's common to be calculating, only united fronts are suspicious.
He would need to be wary going forward.
Thirdly, to investigate the Witch God Sect and the dark energy.
What the Witch God Sect was doing with their capture of Martial Artists, including the Blood Sacrifice, the ultimate purpose was still unknown.
Why Dark Mystical Energy appeared on a martial artist and whether it was related to the Poisonous Beast in the mountains.
Case by case, item by item, all needed to be slowly resolved.
Furthermore, there was something even more important; he was about to become a father.
After the Selection Point ended, at last, he had time to spend a few days with Sister Lan, and he could also take the opportunity to visit the Taoist Temple.
He was not interested in gods and buddhas, but he was very interested in the gods and buddhas worshiped by martial artists.
On the ride back home, Chen Sansi also saw an acquaintance.
