Special Expert of Beauty CEO-Chapter 1694 - 1698: Shortlist Rankings

The dignified Deputy East Gate Commander was directly killed on the spot at the East Gate Governor’s Mansion!

Hiss!

Everyone gasped, each person frozen in shock, their mouths agape!

Those under Yang Jin were all dumbfounded.

According to the laws of the Tianyuan Dynasty, an official of Yang Jin’s rank could only be executed by a member of the Royal Family, with no one else having the authority to kill directly.

But now, Qin Tian showed no qualms and directly killed Yang Jin!

"Guards!"

Qin Tian shouted, and outside the courtyard, the soldiers of the East Gate Governor’s Mansion all rushed in.

"Arrest all of Yang Jin’s remaining followers! Kill anyone who dares resist!"

Showing his authority, Qin Tian ordered, and soldiers charged toward Yang Jin’s more than thirty subordinates.

These more than thirty men, even though they wanted to struggle in their hearts, now headless and facing the formidable and terrifying Qin Tian, had no chance to resist. They could only surrender!

The turmoil was directly quelled by Qin Tian’s iron-fisted suppression.

"This... this... Commander Qin, what are you..."

When the matter was resolved, First Deputy Commander Sun Wei entered with a facade of surprise, looking at Qin Tian.

"Commander Qin, you killed Yang Jin, this is illegal. You violated the laws of the Tianyuan Dynasty, and if the Ice Emperor investigates, you will face severe punishment!"

Sun Wei stared at Qin Tian and said.

Qin Tian moved his lips and said, "You are free to report to the Ice Emperor."

"Even if I don’t report it, the Ninth Prince’s side will surely do so. You might not know, but this Yang Jin belongs to the Ninth Prince’s faction..."

"Commander Sun, you need not say anything more. Let the Ninth Prince be the Ninth Prince. Just watch closely and stop moving around in front of me. Whether you want to kick a man when he’s down or just watch from afar, it’s your choice."

Qin Tian did not even spare a glance at Sun Wei, commanding someone to dispose of Yang Jin’s body, and the East Gate Governor’s Mansion continued business as usual.

An incident of an officer of Yang Jin’s rank being killed at the workplace by his superior cannot be hidden.

So, that afternoon, someone reported to the Ice Emperor.

Meanwhile, people on the Ninth Prince’s side also heard the news.

However, at this time, the Ninth Prince was not in the Imperial City but had gone out with people for cultivation and hunting and would not return soon.

In the Imperial Palace, after a night, the situation remained calm, and no news came that the Ice Emperor wanted to hold Qin Tian accountable.

This matter surprisingly passed just like that, leaving people on both the Ninth Prince’s and the Crown Prince’s sides somewhat in disbelief.

Three days of calm passed, and the day for the Cultivation Immortality List selection arrived.

In the Imperial City, the selection of the Youth List was most lively.

Qin Tian participated in the main list selection, which was held in a relatively secluded barrack in the Imperial City, accommodating thousands, suitable for the selection of the 500 finalists.

The referee was an official sent by the Tianyuan Dynasty, matched according to a draw, with the referee making a judgment on the contestants’ strength. After the first round, if determined to be exceptionally strong, a contestant could directly advance to the top 500.

A maximum of four rounds, winning four consecutive rounds guaranteed advancement to the top 500.

Qin Tian thought that after showcasing his strength in the first round, he should be evaluated by the referee to enter the top 500.

However, when he entered the first match and saw the referee was someone he had met before, he suddenly lost hope.

Qin Tian couldn’t recall the referee’s name, but he remembered seeing this person in the Yitian Palace of the Ninth Prince.

Back then, when Qin Tian was humiliated in Yitian Palace, this person was among those with the Ninth Prince, holding a wine cup and ridiculing him gleefully!

Upon seeing Qin Tian looking at him, the person also faintly smiled at Qin Tian, but his gaze naturally carried malice.

In the first round, Qin Tian faced a cultivation master who had come from afar.

This fellow was likely a General from a certain city, with a scarred face, arrogant and dismissive of others.

"What’s your name?"

The scarred face shouted at Qin Tian.

Qin Tian replied, "You still care about names?"

Scarred face confidently said, "In my Wang Zixin’s hands, there’s never been an unknown junior. State your name, so I’ll know who I beat."

Qin Tian shook his head, "No need for names, let’s just fight."

"Haha, scared? I’ll give you the first move, show me your tricks."

Wang Zixin smiled lightly, still as if a General from the Mountain Village.

Qin Tian didn’t want to talk more with this guy and said, "Alright, then get ready."

Wang Zixin waved his hand, forming a visible silver True Qi Shield, confidently saying, "My True Qi Barrier hasn’t been broken by many people..."

Bang!

Before Wang Zixin finished his sentence, a True Qi surged forth!

The True Qi Barrier in front of Wang Zixin shattered instantly, forcing him back several steps, his face instantly pale!

Seeing Wang Zixin clutching his chest, glaring at Qin Tian, unable to utter a word, Qin Tian stood as still as a mountain, saying, "What’s wrong, can you still stand?"

Thud!

As soon as Qin Tian spoke, Wang Zixin collapsed instantly, losing consciousness.

"Qin Tian wins."

The referee declared, seemingly displeased.

Qin Tian stepped up and said, "I won with one move, the disparity in strength is vast, can I advance directly?"

The referee sneered, "No."

"Ha, is it that simple?"

"Yes, just that simple. Whether you advance or not, it’s up to me!"

The referee stared at Qin Tian, "Prepare well for the next match, don’t slip up!"

In the next match, Qin Tian faced a Sect Leader from a Cultivation Immortality Sect deep in the mountains.

Looking at the bearded old man in front of him, Qin Tian shook his head, "Old sir, let’s not fight. Just concede, you can’t beat me."

The old man grinned, "Little brat, arrogant! I am the Sect Leader of the Fengshu Sect, you think I’m easy to handle? Come, try me!"

Qin Tian was speechless, attacking directly.

This time he used only fifty percent of his strength, again winning in one move.

One palm strike, directly suppressing the old man.

Qin Tian won again, without any suspense.

The referee still did not announce Qin Tian’s direct advancement.

Immediately, Qin Tian entered the third round, easily defeating a young man, reaching the fourth round.

In this round, as long as Qin Tian won, regardless of the referee’s announcement, he would become one of the top 500 on the main list.

In this round, the referee deliberately chose a strong opponent for Qin Tian.

However, stepping up to the stage, Qin Tian easily saw through this so-called expert, whose cultivation was merely at the late stage of the Longevity Realm.

Previously, Qin Tian might have dreaded this, now, a late-stage Longevity Realm couldn’t last three moves against him.

Indeed, the first move dismantled the stage.

The second move broke the opponent’s bones, leaving him howling and announcing his defeat.
