Grinding Cultivation Toward Martial Saint-Chapter 223 - 103: Twelve Competing for One
Above the arena,
no one stepped forward to face He Jinyun.
After quite a while,
"This is boring!" He Jinyun shook his head, utterly uninterested.
At that moment, the man hosting the assessment looked towards the direction of the viewing stand,
where Hong Minghu was located.
Seeing Hong Minghu nod slightly and hearing Hong Minghu's voice ringing in his ear, the host immediately understood.
Then,
he turned his gaze towards the people at the edge of the arena.
"If no one here challenges He Jinyun, then he will directly seize the position of Deputy Commander!"
Even after this announcement, still no one on the arena stepped forward.
The two Martial Arts Seventh Grade fighters, a man and a woman, remained as calm as old dogs, watching the scene unfold on the arena without any hurry.
Since there were four Deputy Commander positions and among the crowd, only the two of them were Martial Arts Seventh Grade.
Given this, they had no reason to feel anxious.
Between the Seventh and Eighth Grades lay a chasm-like gap.
After Muscle Training, the explosive power was terrifying; every action could gather the force from the entire body.
This explosive power made their attacks extremely formidable.
Furthermore, this powerful explosive power greatly increased their speed.
Especially in close combat, their movements, far quicker by many degrees compared to an Eighth Grade, if at the peak of the Seventh Grade and having achieved Great Success in Muscle Training, were exponentially faster than an Eighth Grade.
This gap was the confidence in their hearts.
Out of the four Deputy Commander positions, they could easily occupy two.

Hence, they could afford to give this Young Master face and not compete with him.
As for the others, they all knew that though He Jinyun looked skinny and undernourished, they were aware that he possessed Innate Divine Strength.
Among the elite students of the Martial Arts Garden, with such talent, he was naturally invincible.
Knowing they couldn't defeat him, how could they dare to step forward and fight?
...
A moment later,
"Congratulations, Young Master!" the host announced.
He then took out a golden Token from his chest and tossed it towards He Jinyun.
"Is it solid gold?" He Jinyun caught the Token and examined it closely.
"Gilded!" the host replied.
"How stingy!" He Jinyun pursed his lips, clearly disdainful.
Hearing these words from He Jinyun, the host felt speechless.
A token the size of a palm, pure gold?
Who could afford such extravagance?
Then,
He Jinyun walked towards the crowd and said, "There are three positions left; you all fight for them! I'm going back first, this damn weather is too hot!!"
With that, he jumped down from the arena.
The crowd made way for him, watching him leave.
"This Young Master is really powerful! He seized the position of Deputy Commander effortlessly, grading him as an Eighth Grade official!"
As they watched He Jinyun's departing figure, someone suddenly exclaimed in admiration.
Immediately someone replied: "Indeed! Did you see who he is? He's a Young Master, a descendant of a Fourth Grade Lord. In their eyes, an Eighth Grade position is nothing!"
Hearing this, someone immediately objected: "You're underestimating the Eighth Rank Deputy Commander position. It's a position with real power, holding the authority of life and death, with the privilege of execution before reporting, one rank above other officials!"
Upon hearing this, someone nodded: "True! The power of the Inspection Office is far too great; it seems that Luoshui County will inevitably undergo turmoil!"
"That's inevitable!" Someone nodded in agreement.
"Speaking of which! Do you think our local prodigies from Luoshui County have any chance of securing one of these four Deputy Commander spots?" someone changed the topic.
"Difficult! Very difficult!!"
"Yes! It's very difficult! This Young Master has already seized one position. Now with only three Deputy Commander positions left and two Martial Arts Seventh Grades left, they will surely take two more spots. That leaves only the last one!"
"In this case, Jiang Ning, Liu Zhaonan, and Ruan Hongmei have no hope!"
"Not necessarily!" someone suddenly countered: "Did you all forget Jiang Ning's performance just now? His punch defeated an elite student from the Martial Arts Garden. With such a performance, he might stand a chance!"
"It's not that simple!" someone immediately shook their heads and continued to analyze: "You must know, the martial arts skills of the students from the Martial Arts Garden far surpass ours!"
"The ones who will compete with Jiang Ning are the elite among these elite students, each mastering several forms of Perfection in lower-level martial arts!"
"The Martial Arts Garden student who finally seizes the remaining Deputy Commander position will certainly have mastered Middle Grade and even superior martial arts beyond lower-level martial arts!"
"With such a huge gap in martial arts skills, how could sheer brute strength prevail!"
The analytical discussion left the group silent, for they fully understood the undeniable truth in these words.
The difference in strength isn't solely based on power.
Combat experience, performance under pressure, weapon advantage, mastery of martial arts...
These all influence the outcome of a fight.
Among them, mastery of martial arts had the greatest impact.
Possessing a powerful form of martial arts brought unparalleled advantages.
Middle Grade martial arts, even just being a master of it, could easily crush lower-level martial arts.
Higher forms of martial arts have even more potent effects.
And the major shortfall of Luoshui County's prodigies is in their mastery of martial arts.
...
On the stage,
a man stepped to the center.
"Who will fight me?"
He looked at the crowd with confidence.
Being one of the two powerful Seventh Grade fighters, facing a group of Sixth Rank fighters, he naturally had this confidence.
