C3038 The Court Examinations Began

1Heavenly Dao Inn.    

    

Lu Yu returned to his guest room and sat cross-legged in front of the table, beginning to organize his thoughts.    

    

In the end, although his current strength was stronger than Qin Lushan's, there was not much of a difference in front of King Qi.    

    

Back in the Xiao Clan, Lu Yu had almost died there. Although Lu Yu had become much stronger now, his strength was still nothing compared to a true King like King Qi.    

    

The most important thing was King Qi's status.    

    

As a King of the Imperial Family, he had a supreme status in the Imperial Court. Lu Yu was only a foreign official. If he really wanted to go and find someone, Lu Yu would need even more 'power'.    

    

"I still don't know much about King Qi. Let Pei Tianguang sort out some information about King Qi!"    

    

Lu Yu wrote a secret letter to Pei Tianguang, and at the same time, he focused on his cultivation.    

    

With Lu Yu's current realm, if he wanted to break through again, he would need at least a few years to follow the rules and cultivate.    

    

But the current Lu Yu could not wait that long.    

    

The world was about to change, and the weather was changing every day. No one knew what would happen the next day. It was the first time Great Yu's dynasty had been challenged for hundreds of years. It was even thrown into the territory under internal and external threats. This was something that had never happened before.    

    

This was a sign that chaos was about to break out.    

    

To survive in this chaotic world, one had to at least have sufficient strength. Otherwise, everything would be empty talk.    

    

Lu Yu was silent for a moment, then he began to immerse himself in his own cultivation.    

    

If one looked closely, the surrounding Spiritual Qi would be like a long dragon, pouring into Lu Yu's body step by step.    

    

His current cultivation speed was already ten times faster than the others, even close to fifty times!    

    

In other words, one day of Lu Yu's cultivation was equivalent to fifty days of others!    

    

Such a cultivation speed could be considered terrifying.    

    

However, Lu Yu knew that once he obtained the fortune of the Heavenly Dynasty, this number would increase to an even bigger number.    

    

The surroundings were silent, and only the sound of Lu Yu breathing in and out of the spiritual qi was constantly heard.    

    

...    

    

A few days later, in front of the imperial palace.    

    

The 18,000 or so scholars who had passed the Civil and Martial Arts Examination stood in front of the Imperial Palace, waiting hesitantly.    

    

They had gathered here today to participate in the final court examination at the "Cosmos Hall" of the Imperial Palace!    

    

There were a total of three Imperial Examinations, and those who had passed the first two tests could only be considered "scholars." Only those who had passed the final court examination could be considered "scholars."    

    

The difference between the court examinations and the ordinary ones was that there were no scholars who had reached the same level as them. In other words, if they did not pass the court examinations, everything they had done before would be rendered useless and they would not be qualified to directly participate in the selection of officials.    

    

It could be said that the selection of officials in Great Yu's Heavenly Dynasty was very harsh. It was even more difficult to stand out here.    

    

Among all the people present, Lu Yu stood at the very front.    

    

Beside him was a group of Jade Cauldron Academy students. All of them wore brand new academy uniforms, and they were especially eye-catching.    

    

Just like the combat examination, before the court examination even began, everyone stood in their own order. The State Supervisors and the five great academies naturally stood in their own groups, while the rest of the High Scholars stood in a mess.    

    

However, if one looked closely, one would realize that the number of people who passed the Civil and Martial Arts Examination in Jade Cauldron College this time far surpassed the others. Even the number of State Supervisors was not comparable to Jade Cauldron College.
