The Snake Demons were all hiding within Snake Valley.

Previously, the entrance to Snake Valley was blocked by Lin Zhenliang and his group, and martial arts students approaching here either got eliminated by Lin Zhenliang's team or had to stay away from Snake Valley to search for Snake Demons elsewhere on Snake Island.

Now, Lin Zhenliang and the other two were removed by Zhang Lingfeng.

There's no one blocking Snake Valley anymore.

Zhang Lingfeng would not obstruct everyone from entering Snake Valley to slay Snake Demons; whether they could pass the exam depended on their abilities, and Zhang Lingfeng would not interfere.

Thus, he and Ming Cheng entered Snake Valley one after another.

Ming Cheng was attacked by Pan Keming; although he didn't die, he was heavily injured, making it nearly impossible for him to pass the exam alone.

Fortunately, with Zhang Lingfeng's help, he used mental telekinesis to assist Ming Cheng, allowing Ming Cheng to effortlessly slay one Bone Realm Snake Demon after another.

About two hours later, Ming Cheng first completed the exam, and his figure disappeared from the Star Realm.

Zhang Lingfeng also completed his task shortly afterward and disappeared from people's sight simultaneously.

Thus, in this national examination, the often underestimated Jiangbei Province not only had martial arts students advancing to the second round but also had both participating martial arts students advancing to the third round in the end.

In contrast, among the fourth-tier provinces, Jiangnan Province, known for its dominance and ambition and boasting about producing Realm Travelers within three years to leap into being a third-tier province, surprisingly had all five martial arts students eliminated in the second round, all by the same person.

Such a great contrast quickly became sensational.

Many whispered.

People in the Great Xia Kingdom began to pay attention to Zhang Lingfeng.

"Zhang Lingfeng, he advanced to the third round, stepping over the bodies of five martial arts students from Jiangnan Province to get there."

In the observer's room of the third-tier province, Guo Wei was both shocked and delighted when he saw the list of those advancing; Zhang Lingfeng truly exceeded his expectations.

"If he were a martial arts student from a third-tier province, with his cultivation talent, he might have the qualifications to compete with geniuses from second-tier provinces, if only he took things a bit more seriously."

He couldn't help but sigh.

The martial arts students from third-tier provinces face the same standards in the second round as those from fourth-tier provinces: as long as they can slay a hundred Bone Realm Great Demons, they can advance smoothly.

But the environment they are in is much more perilous than Spiritual Snake Island, with Qi Phase Great Demons stationed there; similarly, martial arts students from first and second-tier provinces face even higher exam standards.

Yet despite this, their success rates far exceed those of martial arts students from third and fourth-tier provinces.

Zhang Lingfeng and Ming Cheng successfully advanced to the third round, breaking all kinds of records for Jiangbei Province, cleansing Jiangbei Province of disgrace, especially by personally eliminating all five martial arts students from Jiangnan Province; the entire Jiangbei Province is cheering for them.

This news quickly spread back to Jiangbei Province.

Wang Dashan, Marquis Zhuge, Lin Qiying, Huo Guoqiong, Huang Ling, Hong Lixin, Yang Liru, and even Chen Duling, Ye Xuan, Liu Baoqin, and countless others who had either interacted with Zhang Lingfeng or had no interaction whatsoever were all happy for Zhang Lingfeng.

"Zhang Lingfeng, from now on, you are my role model."

Lai Zhijun continued practicing the Basic Spear Skill Thirteen Forms on the rooftop, having just received the direct admission contract from Divine Martial University, feeling both happy and shocked to learn that Zhang Lingfeng advanced to the third round in the national exam.

"Ah."

Yan Fei felt complex emotions, remaining silent just like Ye Chen.

Both were from Jiangnan Province.

Yan Fei was initially invited to come to Jiangbei Province to teach martial arts students in South City; he later received instructions from the Seven Great Star Systems Alliance to teach Zhang Lingfeng the Body Tempering Technique.

With Zhang Lingfeng's help, he obtained Vein-Opening Liquid, successfully awakening Bloodline Power and becoming a Dirt Realm expert; now, hearing Zhang Lingfeng sweep through all the martial arts students of Jiangnan Province, he has a mix of emotions, feeling happy for Zhang Lingfeng yet also distressed for Jiangnan Province's predicament.

He knew Jiangnan Province to be a rather exclusionary province.

As Zhang Lingfeng's teacher, he surely would face countless disputes upon returning to Jiangnan Province one day.

Ocean City.

In the hall of Jiangnan Province.

Zheng Ningbo looked livid as he faced Lin Zhenliang, Pan Keming, Xie Sha, Lin Yanping, and Meng Dalai. In this national exam, they were ambitious, with Lin Zhenliang being highly anticipated not only to break into the third round but possibly to challenge the fourth round.

However, unexpectedly, Zhang Lingfeng suddenly emerged and eliminated them all in the second round.

What made it unacceptable to them is that Zhang Lingfeng didn't eliminate them one by one but rather under multiple attacks, he eliminated them together.

"Mr. Zheng, Zhang Lingfeng's data analysis is ready."

Said a woman.

Zheng Ningbo rubbed his forehead, asking the woman to show Zhang Lingfeng's data analysis to everyone.

Thus, a light screen projection appeared before everyone.

Physical Fitness: 530.0

Dharma Aspect: Level 6

Bloodline Power: Advanced Bloodline, Five Elements Wind Leopard

Spear Intent: Three-Line Spear Intent, Water Wood Thunder

Mental Telekinesis: Level 3, Attack System, Defense System

Mental Realm: Unknown

Combat Power: 2300-2400

Lin Zhenliang and the others stared at the information on the screen, unable to speak for a long time.

Finally, Lin Yanping said indignantly, "At first, the data we received indicated his combat power was at most 1400.0; Meng Dalai and I thought he would be with Ming Cheng, so we went together."

The implication: If not worried about Ming Cheng, Lin Yanping originally wanted to single-handedly defeat Zhang Lingfeng, yet both were instantly defeated by Zhang Lingfeng.

If not for faulty intelligence, they wouldn't have suffered such a large setback.

"Deal with all personnel providing Zhang Lingfeng's intelligence; these leeches have caused Jiangnan Province possibly unable to become a third-tier province within three years."
