I’m Leveling Up Too Quickly

Chapter 78: Death Competition (1)

Translator: 549690339

Just when Zhu Wuan thought that his peaceful and happy days could continue like this until he was deposed as the Crown Prince and chased out to be Prince Taiping, another matter involved him.

The end-of-month competition!

Or rather, it was a death competition!

The month-end competition was a traditional event of the Zhu royal family. The main content was to let the princes and princesses compete with each other at the end of each month to determine who was better.

For those princes and princesses who had made great progress, the emperor would naturally reward them with generous rewards as encouragement.

This was originally a good thing, and it had already lasted for more than a thousand years in the Zhu royal family. However, as Mad Emperor Zhu Zhenwu went berserk in his cultivation, he became extremely jealous of the talented. The so-called month-end competition became a death competition.

For those princes and princesses who had made great progress and were outstanding in military studies, Mad Emperor Zhu Zhenwu would still give them a lot of rewards. However, after these outstanding princes and princesses received the rewards, what awaited them was often a fatal disaster.

Even if they were lucky enough to escape, they would be exiled by Mad Emperor Zhu Zhenwu, and there would be no possibility of them inheriting the throne in the future.

Gradually, the competition at the end of the month became a competition of death. All the princes and princesses were no longer proud of their outstanding performance. Instead, they tried their best to perform a little worse to avoid being targeted by Mad Emperor Zhu Zhenwu.

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

However, he did not expect that the Mad Emperor Zhu Zhenwu would think that these princes and princesses were toying with him and had disgraced the thousand-year-old tradition of the Zhu Royal Family. Therefore, he punished these princes and princesses who pretended to be weak and some were even The princes and princesses were in an uproar. Then, they did not dare to go too far. At the same time, they did not dare to perform too well. It could be said that they were in extreme pain.

After all, on one hand, they had to not perform outstandingly. On the other hand, they could not deliberately act weak to avoid attracting the attention of Mad Emperor Zhu Zhenwu. This required a certain degree of control. If they did not control it properly, what awaited these princes and princesses might be a fatal disaster.

The month-end competition was no longer something to look forward to for the princes and princesses. Instead, it had become a source of pain.

Zhu Wanhao had originally thought that based on his recent performance, he wouldn’t have to participate in the month-end competition. After all, he had already ” completely given up ” on the path of martial arts, and now he was lying on the bed with ” damaged meridians. ‘

However, he did not expect that even under such circumstances, Mad Emperor Zhu Zhenwu was still unwilling to let him go and even wanted him to participate in the month-end competition.

Fortunately, due to Zhu Wuyan’s special physical condition, Mad Emperor Zhu Zhenwu allowed Zhu Wuyan to participate in the month-end competition in another way.

The month-end competition mainly had two items, which were strategy and military studies. Strategy was a competition of literary talent, and military studies was a competition of martial strategy.

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

The martial arts competition accounted for at least 70% of the month-end competition, and the remaining 30% belonged to the literary competition.

Due to Zhu Wuyan’s poor health, the month-end competition was held in the

Crown Prince’s palace. There were three invigilators, namely the Minister of Rites, Chen Diandou, the Minister of War, Xin Zhenyong, and the eunuch Zhu Jinzong, the trusted aide of the Mad Emperor, Zhu Zhenwu. They were all old acquaintances.

Upon seeing the student who had been away for several days, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites and the assistant minister of the Ministry of War revealed an awkward but polite smile. Then, they began to assess Zhu

Wuan.

The policy assessment was naturally still a test paper. This test paper was the same as the test papers used by the other princes and princesses. This time, Zhu Wuwan did not pretend to be a pig too well. Instead, according to the original owner’s previous standard, she scored a medium-low score.

Regarding such results, the invigilator, Minister of Rites Chen Diandou, and

the internal official supervisor, Zhu Jinzong, expressed their noncommittal opinions. After all, this was the normal standard of the original owner and was not worthy of excessive attention.

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

The military assessment was mainly based on strength and combat strength, supplemented by some knowledge of military strategy. Zhu Wuyang’s military strategy was quite bad, a little lower than the original owner’s normal standard.

As for the realm of his strength, a seventeen-year-old martial artist who had completed the Golden Bone Refinement was definitely considered a genius in the Imperial Palace. Therefore, with this realm of strength, Zhu Wuwan had obtained a good result.

Next, it was time to test his combat experience and combat skills. He had spent more than ten years to cultivate the Nine Dragon Fist to the first level. As for other combat martial arts, he basically did not know them. As for fighting, he still focused on verbal attacks.

Xin Zhenyong, the assistant minister of the Ministry of War, displayed some moves, and Zhu Wuwan dictated how to break through them. In the end, he got a low to middle score. Combining his strength realm and his results in the art of war and strategy, Zhu Wuwan barely got an above middle score in the military assessment.

All in all, Zhu Wuyan’s total score in this month-end competition was:

Middle middle!

He had been lying on the bed for the entire assessment. At most, he would sit up. His disguise was flawless. At least, Chen Diandou, Xin Zhenyong, and Zhu Jinzong did not notice anything unusual.

During this period, Chen Diandou, Xin Zhenyong, and Zhu Jinzong each performed several probing techniques on Zhu Wuan. They repeatedly confirmed Zhu Wuan’s strength. Indeed, she was only at the perfected Golden Bone Refinement, and her Primordial Yang was definitely gone.

However, under the effect of the Mythical secret technique, the three Connate experts did not see through Zhu Wuwan’s disguise, allowing Zhu Wuwan to successfully overcome this obstacle.

This was the first deathmatch that Zhu Wuyan had participated in after transmigrating. However, Zhu Wuyan knew very well that although his deathmatch had ended, the effects of this deathmatch had only just begun.

After all, at this moment, the other princes and princesses were still in the midst of the deathmatch in fear.

Compared to Zhu Wuyang’s near-death experience, the death of these princes and princesses could be said to be a shocking one.

In the death competition, not only did they have to face a special surveillance array formation, but once they hid their strength and realm, they would be detected by the array formation. Even with Zhu Wuwan’s mythical-level secret technique, the Green Dragon Mustard, it would be difficult for them to escape detection. On the other hand, they had to perform unremarkable and unquestionable results in the policy and military assessments.

This was a technical job!

It was especially difficult to successfully pass the test in front of a peerless expert like Mad Emperor Zhu Zhenwu, who was invincible in the Innate Realm.

Furthermore, other than Mad Emperor Zhu Zhenwu, there were also many of Mad Emperor’s trusted eunuchs, trusted imperial physicians, and trusted guards around…He was also constantly looking for anything suspicious..
