I Broke Through Too Quickly - Chapter 78

[Chapter 78 Death Contest]

Just when Zhu Wuyang thought that the peaceful and happy days could continue like this, until he was deposed from the position of crown prince and was driven out to become Prince Taiping, another incident involved him.

End of month contest!

In other words, it’s a death contest!

The month-end competition can be said to be a traditional program of the Zhu family. The main content is that at the end of each month, many princes and princesses compete against each other to determine who is the best.

For those princes and princesses who have made great progress, the emperor will naturally give them generous prizes to encourage them.

This was originally a good thing and had lasted for more than a thousand years in the Zhu royal family. However, as the mad emperor Zhu Zhenwu became obsessed with his martial arts and became extremely jealous of talents, the so-called end-of-month competition turned into a death competition.

Crazy Emperor Zhu Zhenwu would still give generous rewards to those princes and princesses who had made great progress and excelled in strategy and military science. However, after these outstanding princes and princesses received the rewards, what awaited them was often a fatal disaster.

Even if he is lucky enough to escape, he will be sent out by the mad emperor Zhu Zhenwu with excuses, and there will be no possibility of inheriting the throne in the future.

Gradually, the competition at the end of the month turned into a death competition. All the princes and princesses no longer took pride in their outstanding performance, but tried their best to perform poorly to avoid being targeted by the Mad Emperor Zhu Zhenwu.

So some princes and princesses deliberately pretended to be weak and performed poorly in the month-end competition. They originally thought that by doing so, they would not have to worry about being targeted by the Mad Emperor Zhu Zhenwu.

But unexpectedly, the Mad Emperor Zhu Zhenwu felt that these princes and princesses were playing tricks on him and insulting the Zhu family’s thousand-year traditional competition, so he punished these princes and princesses who pretended to be weak and inferior, and some of them were even killed directly.

The princes and princesses were in an uproar, and then they didn’t dare to go too far, and they didn’t dare to perform too well. It was really painful.

After all, on the one hand, one must not perform well, and on the other hand, one must not deliberately pretend to be weak to avoid attracting the attention of the Mad Emperor Zhu Zhenwu. This requires a certain degree of control. If it is not handled properly, the princes and princesses waiting for them may be killed. disaster.

For many princes and princesses, the end-of-month competition is no longer something worth looking forward to. Instead, it has become a source of pain.

Zhu Wuyang originally thought that with his performance during this period, he would not need to participate in the month-end competition. After all, he had “completely given up” on the path of martial arts, and now his “meridians were damaged” and he was paralyzed in bed.

But unexpectedly, under such circumstances, Mad King Zhu Zhenwu was still unwilling to let him go, and wanted him to participate in this month-end competition.

Fortunately, in view of Zhu Wuhuang’s special physical condition, Mad King Zhu Zhenwu allowed Zhu Wuhuang to participate in this month-end competition in another way.

There are two main contents of the month-end competition, namely strategy and military science. The strategy competition tests literary skills, while the military science competition tests martial arts, or one literary competition and one martial arts competition.

Among them, the martial arts competition is more important. The core is to test the strength of the princes and princesses. After all, Dongyuan Continent is a world where martial arts is respected.

Wu Bi accounts for at least 70% of the competition at the end of the month, and the remaining 30% belongs to Wen Bi.

In view of Zhu Wuhuang’s poor health, Zhu Wuhuang’s month-end competition was held in the prince’s palace. There were three invigilators, namely Chen Diandou, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, Xin Zhenyong, the minister of the Ministry of War, and Zhu Jinzong, the confidant of the Mad Emperor Zhu Zhenwu. All are old acquaintances.

Seeing the students who had been away for several days, the Minister of Rites and the Minister of War both showed awkward yet polite smiles, and then began to assess Zhu Wuyan.

Naturally, the examination for policy studies is still a paper. This paper is the same as the test paper used for the assessment of other princes and princesses. This time, Zhu Wuyao did not pretend to be too good at pretending to be a pig, but according to the original master’s previous level, he got an average grade. score.

Regarding such results, Chen Diandou, the Minister of Rites who invigilated the examination, and Zhu Jinzong, the Internal Affairs Supervisor, both expressed their disbelief. After all, this was also the normal standard of the original owner and did not deserve too much attention.

However, such a result can barely be considered a good result in the end-of-month competition.

The assessment of military science is mainly based on strength and combat effectiveness, supplemented by some knowledge of military strategy. Zhu Wuyou’s performance in the military strategy test is quite poor, which is lower than the original owner’s normal level.

As for the level of strength, the seventeen-year-old “Golden Bone Refining Perfection” warrior is definitely a genius in the palace, so with this level of strength, Zhu Wuyao has achieved a good result.

Next, it’s time to test combat experience and skills. It took more than ten years to practice Nine Dragons Boxing to the first level. As for other combat martial arts, I basically don’t know it. As for fighting, I still focus on talking.

Xin Zhenyong, the Minister of War, used some tricks, and Zhu Wuhuang dictated how to crack it. The result was that he got a lower-middle grade. Combining the results of his strength and military strategy, Zhu Wuyang barely got an upper-middle grade in the military examination.

Taken together, Zhu Wuyao’s total score in this month-end competition was.

Zhongzhong!

The whole process of the assessment was lying on the bed, or sitting up at most. The disguise was perfect. At least Chen Diandou, Xin Zhenyong and Zhu Jinzong didn’t notice anything unusual.

During this period, Chen Diandou, Xin Zhenyong, and Zhu Jinzong used probing techniques on Zhu Wuyi several times, and repeatedly confirmed Zhu Wuyi’s strength. Indeed, only the Golden Bone Refining was perfect, and Yuanyang was definitely gone.

However, under the influence of the mythical secret skill Qinglongji, the three great masters in the innate realm failed to see through Zhu Wuyi’s disguise, allowing Zhu Wuyi to successfully overcome this difficulty.

Zhu Wuyang passed the first death contest after time travel, but Zhu Wuyang also knew in his heart that although his death contest was over, the impact of this death contest had just begun.

After all, at this moment, the other princes and princesses are still having a death contest in fear.

Compared with Zhu Wuhuang’s near miss, the death contest among these princes and princesses can be regarded as shocking every step of the way.

In the death competition, they not only had to face special surveillance formations, but once their strength was hidden, it would be detected by the formations. Even Zhu Wuyan’s mythical secret skill Qinglongji could hardly escape detection. Another On the other hand, they must also perform outstanding and unquestionable results in the assessment of strategy and military science.

This is a technical job!

It is especially difficult to successfully pass the test in front of an innate and invincible master like the Mad King Zhu Zhenwu.

What’s more, in addition to the Mad Emperor Zhu Zhenwu, there are also many of the Mad Emperor’s confidant eunuchs, confidant doctors, and confidant guards… who are also always looking for anything suspicious.

Xiao Mengxin’s diary: Although it ranked second among the more than 20 books recommended by Mosquito, there are still no recommendations. Perhaps it is because there are too many fantasy masters who have opened books at the same time, and Xiao Mengxin is also very helpless. The most helpless thing is that it should be on the shelves this week. As expected, if the subscription performance is good, there will be recommendations in the future. If it is not good, then wait until the recommendation is not completed. Xiao Mengxin’s mood is a bit complicated, but he doesn’t know how to be a eunuch. We can still get the consolation prize for perfect attendance, and he will write seriously. I hope the collection ratio is better, so that he can still get up in the future. All this depends on all the book friends. .
