Until

Although Qinghui Town was only one of the few thousand small towns in the entire city, the Spiritual Energy assessment that was held every five years was still quite a grand occasion.

Every year, the host of the Spiritual Energy assessment would be the town's most advanced, Apothecary, who was usually around the second stage.

In the past, people would probably have heard of Zhao Zheng's name even if it was Capital City Chang'an, let alone Qinghui Town.

But the present was different from the past. The current Zhao Zheng, his Spiritual Energy had been completely destroyed, and he was just a cripple.

With him presiding over the Spiritual Energy test, the people with Zhao Family would be the first to be dissatisfied.

Actually, the identity of being the host was only because Elder Zhao pitied Zhao Zheng and thought that his son and daughter pair had no one to rely on, which was why he intentionally made him host the Spiritual Energy Assessment, giving him the chance to take the Spirit Stone.

With a pull of the flag, the Spiritual Energy assessment began in a grandiose manner.

Those who began were mostly juniors, over twelve years old.

The Spiritual Energy test, was to place the test taker's hand on the Spirit Stone of the Hegemon's Hall.

Correspondingly, Spirit Stone would emit different levels of light.

If Apothecary was an initial stage, then it would be light blue. If it was a first stage, then the Spirit Stone would have an extra layer of light. If it was a second stage, then Apothecary had two columns.

And so on. The more squares one had, the higher the level.

Among the younger generation, the strongest Spiritual Energy was Zhao Xue's daughter, Zhao Xiangxiang.

Sure enough, after Zhao Xiangxiang went up on stage, the result was first grade Apothecary. But judging from the light, it could only be counted as having just entered the first grade.

However, for Apothecary to be at such a young age, he could already be considered a rare sight in the Qinghui Town.

Zhao Xiangxiang raised her head, looking quite pleased with herself.

More than half of the time had passed, and the number of medicinal masters selected out was still less than ten.

It was Zhao Huai's turn.

Just as Zhao Shuning had predicted, it was a beginner's rank, one level lower than Zhao Xiangxiang's.

Everyone was also surprised and looked at Zhao Zheng with a little more reverence. It was extremely difficult for an aristocratic family to nurture Apothecary. Zhao Zheng having this kind of child could be considered his pride.

Even Elder Zhao, who was on the stage, revealed a satisfied expression.

However, just as the competition was about to end, everyone heard Zhao Xiangxiang's request and was stunned.

In this Spiritual Energy test, there was also another condition. That was, the highest ranking person in the Spiritual Energy could propose a condition to Elder Zhao.

Zhao Xiangxiang was the person with the highest level, so logically speaking, she should be satisfied as long as she didn't go against the rules and regulations.

"Grandfather, Xiangxiang wants to have a fight with Brother Huai."

After hearing Zhao Xiangxiang's conditions, Elder Zhao's expression turned ugly for a moment as he turned around to take a look.

Sensing his father's gaze, Zhao Xue turned his head back a bit.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Elder Zhao knew that it was Zhao Xue's trick, but he couldn't do anything about it.

"Xiangxiang, Huai is weak."

"So what? Grandfather, you said before, the children of my Zhao Family should be able to prop up the heavens and stand on the ground.

Zhao Xiangxiang wanted to challenge Zhao Huai?

Zhao Shuning could no longer sit still.

Zhao Huai was able to determine that there was a Spiritual Energy because of the Flying Serpent's blood. However, this was only a temporary illusion and could not really increase his strength.

If Zhao Xiangxiang made a move, Zhao Huai would definitely be injured.

In this way, the matter of him using the Flying Serpent's blood as a fake would definitely be exposed in public. At that time, the criticism his father would receive would no longer be minor.

"I'll participate." Zhao Huai smiled faintly.

"Brother!" Zhao Shuning gave him a worried look. Didn't Zhao Huai know that his body was weak? Furthermore, his Spiritual Energy was not real, why would he agree to it?

"Ning, if I refuse now, they will immediately suspect that I'm lying. Don't worry, I will do my best to withstand a few more attacks."

Zhao Shuning was so angry that her teeth itched. She didn't expect Zhao Xue to be so petty as to instigate her daughter to take revenge.

Zhao Xue, you are going too far.

Seeing that Zhao Huai agreed, the old man could only say helplessly, "Let's stop there."

The two children nodded and went up onto the stage one after the other.

Zhao Xiangxiang had the same temperament as her father, so she was naturally strong.

Yesterday, Zhao Shuning had displayed her father's authority in front of so many people. Today, she was going to give Zhao Huai a good beating and demoralize the four-year-old girl.

Apothecary's duel was a very rare competition. Everyone was eagerly waiting to see it.

The two of them had already changed into the clothes that they had worn during the competition.

Zhao Xiangxiang, dressed in red clothes, was just like herself, arrogantly and arrogantly. She was only ten years old, but the red dress she wore exuded her aura.

Compared to them, Zhao Huai was much weaker. He chose a set of white clothes.

Zhao Huai's body was weak to begin with. That white dress, coupled with his pale face, was especially painful to the heart.

"Huai, if you can't take it anymore, just admit defeat. Xiangxiang is already Level 1 and you're only Level 1. It's not shameful for you to lose to her. Please don't take it head on."

"Don't worry, father. I know my limits."
