By the next morning, Chu Qingyun had been in the valley for nearly a full day. In that time, he had only encountered a total of seven Martial Artists from the Martial Soul Hall, and only one of them was a level-eight Martial Artist.
After killing all seven of those Martial Artists, his Military Merits had only reached 130. This was despite Chu Qingyun possessing the dual advantages of the Hidden Qi Technique and the early warnings from his Devouring Martial Soul.
And unbelievably, a meager score of 130 Military Merits actually placed him third among all 156 Examiners!
Killing only seven people in nearly a day and still ranking in the top three was simply unimaginable. According to the Great Xia Dragon Guard's intelligence, there were at least five hundred Martial Soul Hall Martial Artists hidden in this valley. Otherwise, the Great Xia Dragon Guard wouldn't have dispatched an entire corps for this.
