It would be good if this kid knew how to grandstand.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Cheng’s mouth curled into a faint smile. He actually hoped that Xu Yang would be more hypocritical and more high-profile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this guy was too cautious; it was impossible for him to do such a thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It seems we underestimated him somewhat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Fang had a bad feeling in her heart. Weiyuan Hall had such a disciple, but she hadn't won him over. If the family investigated, her resources would be downgraded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He has always been praised as someone not inferior to me, but that’s all.\" Lu Ren’s tone was already somewhat unnatural.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He also felt bad in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the past, people said Xu Yang was about the same as him, but it was just talk. But now, lifting the stone lock is a solid display of martial arts foundation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he had used so many resources and still hadn't opened up a large distance from Xu Yang, it is very likely that everyone would not think Xu Yang is a genius, but that he, Lu Ren, is too much of a waste.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He can still continue...\" Huang Linger’s expression was somewhat flustered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that after Xu Yang lifted it twenty times, he was not exhausted and was still persisting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is impossible!\" Yang Jun’s eyes were bloodshot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had difficulty lifting a 1,000-catty iron lock twenty times, but Xu Yang could actually lift 2,000 catties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This mud-legged one has surpassed himself once again, and there is a high probability of ascending the dragon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thirty times, already obtained a C-Middle grade, with a great chance of ascending the dragon. This child is not bad. Weiyuan Hall actually still has such a disciple. Why haven't I heard of it before?\" The hall master of the Tongbi Fist Hall looked at Lin Cheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lifting the lock thirty times, his martial arts foundation can be called solid, and his true qi and physical body are both well polished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If his luck is not too bad, there is no problem with ascending the dragon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m afraid this is a personal disciple secretly cultivated by Brother Lin, kept secret. It’s truly sinister.\" Ji Yun said with a strange tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Cheng smiled and didn't speak. He secretly gave Xu Yang resources, which strictly speaking could be considered secret cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s about it!\" Xu Yang thought to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he performs too well, he will be eyed by those big families and recruited as a thug for their descendants in the sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he performs too poorly, obtaining the dragon ascent quota will be very abrupt, which is also unfavorable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s good to be about the same as Lu Ren, which is consistent with his consistent performance, and everyone will think it’s a matter of course.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ren lifted the lock thirty-three times, and he stopped at thirty-one, using true qi to force out a lot of sweat, appearing out of breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"C-18, lifted the lock thirty-one times, grade C-Middle.\" The invigilator announced Xu Yang’s final grade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone who thought he was grandstanding shut their mouths, and then they all looked at Lu Ren.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is Xu Yang’s talent good, or is Lu Ren’s reputation not equal to reality, and he has been over-hyped?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the full support of the Gu family, his grade is actually about the same as Xu Yang’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ren’s expression was extremely ugly. Xu Yang, this guy, actually performed about the same as him once again, making everyone think he is a waste, having used so many resources and still not opening up a distance from Xu Yang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn it!\" Gu Fang was also cursing secretly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because she had already seen her eldest brother, Gu Haoming, cast an appreciative look at her, thinking that she had already won over Xu Yang and added a powerful helper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she told her eldest brother that she had no friendship with Xu Yang at all, and occasionally ridiculed him a few times...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gu Fang couldn't imagine the consequences.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not bad!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the high platform, Lin Cheng revealed a faint smile. Being able to have this grade is not in vain for him to waive the tuition and send precious Qi-Nourishing Pills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s just that he didn't know if this kid, Xu Yang, had also kept a hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not grandstanding, but a genius with the talent to ascend the dragon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In such a county city, Linger, you missed it. He is not worse than Lu Ren.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, he is more of a genius than Lu Ren.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Linger listened to the words of her close friends around her, and her face turned pale in a flash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yang refusing the marriage is not a big deal, but she ran to Weiyuan Hall for the sake of face and turned around to slander Xu Yang, saying that she looked down on Xu Yang, and the matter became big.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone will not only laugh at her for not knowing her status, but also laugh at her for not recognizing the gold and jade, missing out on a heaven-gifted genius who ascends the dragon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I once heard people say that the Liu family wanted Xu Yang to marry into their family, but Xu Yang refused. Linger, did Xu Yang really actively seek to marry you?\" Suddenly a close friend asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There is actually such a thing, why didn't you say it earlier.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It seems that it’s not Linger who looks down on Xu Yang, but Xu Yang who looks down on her, and she was so angry that she slandered Xu Yang for wanting to eat swan meat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Linger only felt a boom in her brain, as if struck by lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the past, she thought that even if Xu Yang, this mud-legged one, stood up and told the truth, no one would believe it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that Xu Yang has shown the talent of a heaven-gifted genius who ascends the dragon, there is no need for Xu Yang to explain at all; everyone knows that the one who was rejected is actually her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yang doesn't even marry the women of the Liu family, would he actively want a woman from the second branch of a small household like the Huang family?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Eldest brother, do you want to prepare a gift for Xu Yang too?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Ping felt somewhat dry in his mouth, and a sense of regret surged from the bottom of his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Xu was silent for a while. Is this the Xu Yang with C-Lower aptitude that the second brother and the others talked about?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I didn't know to go and continue this friendship earlier, and now that he has shown the talent to ascend the dragon, I go and fawn over him. This kind of snobbish person will only be annoying.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Jin only felt that the unhappiness of the past had unfolded at this moment. Let you not listen to me, missing out on a genius with the talent to ascend the dragon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is only the first level. Having great strength doesn't mean that actual combat is also powerful. Whether he can ascend the dragon depends on the second level. Xu Yang has no family cultivation, and it is still difficult to obtain the dragon ascent qualification just by relying on the Mountain-Shaking Bear Fist.\" Huang Xu said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He only regretted not paying attention to Xu Yang, missing the opportunity to cultivate a heaven-gifted genius who ascends the dragon, and didn't think Xu Yang could ascend the dragon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He has some talent, but it’s a pity that he still can't see clearly. If he had agreed to my conditions back then, he would have been 100% able to ascend the dragon today.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Hongchang looked at the figure walking out of the field and shook his head secretly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He admitted that Xu Yang surprised him, but that was all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The grade of the first level will not be used as the evaluation standard for ascending the dragon. The dragon ascent quota only depends on what place you kill to in the second level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yang has no family secret martial arts, and it is still too difficult to win the dragon ascent quota.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not yet recruited by a family? Good, good...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the observation platform, a big shot smiled and immediately said: \"Being able to walk to this step on his own, he has some talent.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After the first level ends, go and tell him to be a follower for my son and work for my son. My Cao family guarantees that he can ascend the dragon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Senior Brother Xu, you really surprised me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Tao was the first to step forward to support the \"exhausted\" Xu Yang, his face full of amazement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yang surprised people once again, achieving a grade similar to Lu Ren’s. Could this be the reason why Junior Sister Lin Wei said she would admit defeat if she met him yesterday?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Congratulations!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yong and Zhang Hong had complex expressions and congratulated him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regardless of whether he can ascend the dragon, just based on Xu Yang’s grade, his future achievements will not be low. Missing the dragon ascent, there are still opportunities like the Martial Exam and the Martial Champion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who dares to say that Xu Yang stopped here?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I didn't expect you to be not weak. In this way, if we abolish you, no one will say that the Fierce Wind Hall is bullying the small with the big.\" A cold voice sounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Jiang Yi, a disciple of the Fierce Wind Hall assigned to Group C. That day, it was this person who defeated Yang Lin at Weiyuan Hall, and his strength was not weak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not far away, Zhu Yang made a throat-slitting gesture again, and other Fierce Wind Hall disciples also mostly paid attention to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who abolishes whom is not yet known!\" Sun Tao snorted coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every time the Fierce Wind Hall and Weiyuan Hall have a Martial Exam, disciples will fight to the death if they meet. Both sides have deaths and injuries, and there is nothing to be afraid of.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yang glanced at Jiang Yi and didn't say anything. If they meet, they will talk about it. If they don't meet, saying more harsh words is useless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, Xu Yang pretended to recover his strength and sat on the side, observing the situation of the entire examination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He saw the three geniuses Cao Rong, Yun Feng, and Han Xin, who had the highest reputation for competing for the first place in Sun Tao’s mouth, and their auras were indeed very powerful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He also saw Qin Ze of the Spirit Monkey Fist Hall, and several other masters he had heard of in the mouths of Sun Tao and others before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every one of these people was the center of attention when they went on stage, and their influence was even greater than Lu Ren’s, but it could be seen that these people didn't have any force, and lifting the lock was just for show.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Kong Yu, who was known as the best aptitude in this batch, went on stage, there was another sensation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, because the time for practicing martial arts was relatively short, he finally only obtained a C-Upper grade.\u003C\u002Fp>",1904,"2026-06-16T12:13:30.304Z","2026-06-16T12:23:14.066Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","92fb839b7f9fad11cc3d1481f2502fb3b0a31295a776bb957a452c0825cd2aa9","starting-with-the-diamond-exercise-to-achieve-sa-chapter-80","starting-with-the-diamond-exercise-to-achieve-sa-chapter-78",410,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-with-the-diamond-exercise-to-achieve-sa-cover.jpg"]
