Hao Ren experienced for the first time how close death was to him.

If the sword had been thrust in a few inches more, Hao Ren's forehead would have been pierced by the sharp blade.

This black sword was forged from an odd stone at the foot of Mount Kunlun. It was impervious to water and fire, as well as lightning strikes. Its quality even surpassed Su Han’s white jade longsword.

Sizzle

Wang Xi retracted her black sword, hiding it within her body.

"So you're an Assistant Inspector." Wang Xi glanced at Hao Ren's forehead and waved her right hand in the direction of the cliff. The clothes were then sucked into her hand; she turned slightly in mid-air, and the clothes slid smoothly onto her body.

The earth dragon’s innate ability was to burrow through the ground. During the intense battle, Wang Xi used her own clothes and phantoms to create a diversion and clone technique. She quickly circled around Hao Ren's feet, catching him off guard for a decisive victory.

Hao Ren had encircled all directions with his sword formation but neglected to defend against attacks from the ground.

Woof!

Furious at Wang Xi’s provocative gaze, White swiped its claws towards her. Hao Ren, however, tugged on the earth dragon's mane to stop it.

Hao Ren was unwilling to accept defeat, but there was nothing he could do about it. If this had been a life-or-death struggle, Hao Ren would have already lost his life at that moment. The reality was that he lacked combat experience compared to the opponent.

"If all Inspectors were as weak as you, then there wouldn't be much point in having an Inspector system." Wang Xi continued to coldly glance at Hao Ren. As a Tier D cultivator, her aura gradually subsided.

The surrounding De-rank cultivators took a slight breath of relief. During the fight just now, Wang Xi's imposing aura at the De-rank level had almost suffocated them.

In the dragon race, it becomes increasingly difficult to advance as one progresses in cultivation. Reaching the Sheng-rank is relatively easy, but reaching the De-rank, equivalent to the initial phase of the Core Formation realm, is extremely rare. If one belongs to a water dragon force like rivers and lakes, they can generally secure a position as an elder at the De-rank level.

Haoren sat silently on Little White's back without saying anything.

"This year, I will participate in the Dragon God Temple examination. If we meet again, I won't hold back," Wang Xi turned to face Wang Hui in the forest and said, "Let's go!"

Wang Hui ran over to Wang Xi’s side and walked with her toward the teleportation array. Seeing that things were not looking good, the four Sheng-rank cultivators also followed behind them.

Roar!

The不甘心的小白再噴出一個火球，將不遠處的樹林瞬間燒成灰燼。它恨不得咬斷那個王曦的脖子，奈何它也知道打不過他。

Haoren slowly turned around, looking at Wang Xi's figure, still silent.

Theoretically, any dragon race cultivator has the qualifications to become an examiner of the Dragon God Temple. To become an examiner, one must pass a series of examinations held annually. Some participants register themselves, some are recommended by local forces to the Dragon God Temple, and others, like Haoren, become assistants to formal examiners who then recommend them for the exams.

The examination at the Dragon God Temple is divided into written tests and martial arts tests. The written test isn't difficult; one only needs to be familiar with the basics of the dragon race and thoroughly understand all examiner regulations to pass.

What's truly competitive, however, is the martial arts test. From Sheng-rank to Gān-rank, experts gather at the Dragon God Temple. After rounds of battles and fights, ten top warriors are selected as formal examiners, while others become assistant examiners.

In the past, Suhán had advanced from Kun-rank all the way into the Dragon God Temple, eventually becoming a formal examiner.

For the Four Seas Dragon Palace, their status is akin to that of the Dragon God Temple, and core members aren't particularly enthusiastic about participating in exams at the temple. However, for other dragon race forces, having more seats as examiners at the Dragon God Temple means greater influence.

The censor serves the Dragon Temple and is said to be impartial, but in reality, there are always biases. Just like Su Han, because she grew up in the East Sea Dragon Palace, for matters concerning the East Sea Dragon Palace,

that Wang Xi must have been cultivated by the native dragon clan of Wuyi Mountain, hoping that he will fight his way through this year's censor exam to become an official censor.

"Exchange..." Hao Ren muttered as he released a sword beam from the palm of his hand, cutting down a section of the forest.

Just separated by one realm, Hao Ren, with Xiao Bai's help, struggled to his utmost but couldn't even harm the other party slightly. Being pointed at his forehead by the tip of the opponent’s sword was truly unbearable.

Prowess—everything comes down to prowess!

Whoosh!

The teleportation array lit up again.

Elder Sun, wearing a Tang suit, stood on the circular platform of the teleportation array and hurriedly walked towards the valley. Despite being short, he looked very agile.

"Elder Sun," Jia Ren smiled awkwardly as he called out when seeing him approach.

Elder Sun smiled at Hao Ren, "Sir Hao is truly formidable."

Hao Ren glanced around and felt even more embarrassed.

"I didn't mean to say that," Elder Sun crossed his arms behind his back. "It's about the destruction of the West Sea Dragon Palace."

“Oh” Hao Ren was somewhat surprised by the sudden change in topic.

"The news that you and Zhen Tongzi have completely destroyed half of the West Sea Dragon Palace has already spread. The reactions from all sides are very shocked," Elder Sun said with a sigh.

Hao Ren felt that this topic was unusual, so he immediately focused his attention on Elder Sun.

Elder Sun indeed continued to speak, "Now the entire dragon clan circle, especially our Water Dragon Clan, is discussing this matter. Some fragmented river and lake forces are also beginning to have close contacts and discuss corresponding strategies."

"A strategy for assistance" Hao Ren was a bit puzzled.

"If you can dismantle the West Sea Dragon Palace, whose home is safe If Zhen Tongzi gets carried away and robs the South Sea after the West Sea, then burns down the dragon palace of Dongting Lake," Elder Sun continued to say.

Hearing this, Hao Ren somewhat understood. When Zhen Ming got angry and destroyed half of the West Sea Dragon Palace, it made other dragon forces feel insecure.

And at such a time, some people take advantage of the situation by promoting the "East Sea Threat Theory," causing many forces to be on guard against the East Sea Dragon Palace, forming an isolated situation for the East Sea Dragon Palace.

Hao Ren didn't expect that severely damaging the West Sea Dragon Palace would also bring such great trouble to the East Sea.

The South Sea Dragon Palace and the North Sea Dragon Palace not only failed to take advantage of this opportunity to vie for territory and resources from the West Sea Dragon Palace, but instead aligned with it, forming an implicit confrontation against the East Sea Dragon Palace.

Other small forces also flocked together, taking advantage of the fact that the East Sea Dragon Palace had yet to engage in brutal expansion. They quickly banded together.

If one were to further strike at the West Sea Dragon Palace now, it would confirm the East Sea's ambitions. Allowing them to form alliances and unite, the gradual decline of the East Sea Dragon Palace without support from many small forces and communication with other major forces is a predictable outcome.

Seeing Hao Ren frowning deeply, Elder Sun thought for a moment and advised, "Young Master Hao needn't worry too much. The strength of the West Sea Dragon Palace won't recover within three to fifty years, which is good news for us. However, we can't be collateral damage for the West Sea Dragon Palace. We must maintain our status. Currently, there are only two solutions to address this situation: First, convene a dragon clan congress in advance to declare our stance; second..." Within one year, our East Sea must produce an expert at the Celestial Dragon realm to truly suppress all four seas. However, due to Third Senior Brother's failed ascension, this is already a well-known secret among everyone."

"What kind of stance do you mean" Hao Ren asked.or and obtain his treasures, even the medicinal herbs from the rear garden were stripped clean; those thousand-year-old ginseng roots were dug up entirely. Judging by the tactics used, it appeared to...
