Chapter 74: Assessment Tricks (Please vote)
Imperial Examination,
There is a saying that thousands of people can only cross a wooden bridge.
That is the civil examination. In fact, the martial examination is too demanding on hardcore strength and has an age limit.
So, the number of people taking the examination each time will not be too large.
Juren Examination.
If you go one step further, you will be considered an official, and the sky is the limit. Taking a step back, in fact, ordinary warriors who have practiced to the bone forging level are already in their early twenties, and the age limit of forty is actually only more than ten years away.
At most, they can take part in it more than ten times.
This does not include the warriors who take the examination, who may be injured during the examination.
The examination of the martial arts examiner is much stricter than that of the martial arts scholar.
In addition, every warrior who passes the previous examination can challenge the top ten warriors.
As long as he can defeat the opponent, he can replace the opponent's rank.
So, whoever passes the martial arts examination has not experienced more than a dozen challenges.
That is why the battle becomes extremely fierce.
The challenged warrior can only use fierce means to fight the challenge, so as to have a chance to make the challenger behind feel timid, thus reducing the number of challenges.
After all, no one can guarantee that he will not fail and be defeated because of continuous fighting.
So, it is necessary to establish prestige!
Make people afraid and dare not challenge.
"Fang Yue from Daliushu Village comes to take the exam, and the guarantor is Zhang Boyang, a martial arts candidate."
Soon it was Fang Yue's turn, and he reported his hometown and guarantor.
The official ticked on the list to confirm, and then the guarantor Zhang Boyang followed to confirm not far away.
The whole process took an incense stick of time.
Soon, a clerk came to lead Fang Yue into the venue.
The Xiahe County City Guard Barracks is surrounded by brick and stone walls, with a large parade ground inside and rows of houses not far away.
The windows of these houses have been removed, and the middle is separated into two examination rooms.
In the parade ground, more than ten stone lions of different sizes are placed.
This is the first level of today's martial arts examination, lifting stones.
The smallest stone lion weighs exactly 1,200 kilograms.
Each stone lion weighs 50 kilograms more than the one before it.
There are a total of 87 people who came to take the martial arts examination, which is similar to what Fang Yue had heard before.
Most of them are obviously in their thirties, and their children may be old enough to play with the family.
From this, we can see how difficult it is to practice martial arts. In a large county town like Xiahe, and even in more than a dozen surrounding towns and their subordinate villages.
There are hundreds of thousands of people in total, but how many people can practice martial arts to the third level of bone forging before the age of forty?
Even so, a large part of those who came to take the martial arts examination this time were not here for the first time.
Soon.
The gongs and drums sounded.
The martial arts examination in Xiahe County officially began.
Fang Yue received his number plate, "Ding Twelve", from the invigilator, and then began to wait in the crowd.
The first test for the martial arts candidates is to lift a stone, then lift a stone, then archery, horsemanship, and martial arts.
After these four subjects, the rankings are arranged.
Of course, only the top ten are ranked, and then the most important test is to see the test.
"Team D, step out."
"Start, lift the stone!"
Hearing this, Fang Yue followed the warriors in the same team out.
Came to the stone lions in the center of the venue.
These stone lions range from 1,200 jin to the heaviest 3,000 jin.
Fang Yue has not tested his strength recently, but according to the numbers from a few days ago, 2,500 to 6,000 jin is definitely no problem.
But this value is the strength of an ordinary bone forging warrior, which does not match Fang Yue's current bone forging initial stage of cultivation.
So, he directly chose a stone lion of 2,200 jin.
In the previous tests of Team A and Team B, basically most of the strength was about 1,800 to 1,900 jin, and not many could reach 2,000 jin.
And there were only four people who reached 2,500 jin.
Two thousand two hundred kilograms is not high, but it is also at an upper-middle level.

"This tea is good this year. Where did you buy it?"
On the top floor of the Ming Building on one side of the training ground, Liu Zheng sat on the highest floor, overlooking the entire examination hall.
Here, you can see the warriors who are taking the stone test, and you can also see the scholars who are still entering the venue on the other side.
"This is sent by Zheng, the owner of the White Tiger Military Officer. All the tea during the examination today was paid for by Zheng, the owner of the White Tiger Boxing Gym." The official in charge of the Yamen's account office said hurriedly.
"White Tiger Boxing Gym, you are thoughtful. Oh, by the way, how many people from the White Tiger Boxing Gym participated in the assessment this year?" Liu Zheng asked after taking a sip of tea.
"Only one person." The official next to him answered quickly.
Liu Zheng nodded, and then ordered the official next to him to give him the list of Fang Yue who participated in the assessment of the White Tiger Boxing Gym.
He was going to see how the candidates of the White Tiger Boxing Gym who participated in the assessment this time were. If possible, he would not mind giving the other party a fortune.
Then, you can talk to the White Tiger Boxing Gym about the next business.
The Great Wei Dynasty has been established for hundreds of years, and the officialdom is no longer as good as it was in the founding period.
Although the current Great Wei Emperor intends to rectify it, there are many obstacles. In fact, as long as it is not too extreme.
It is not impossible to cheat in the imperial examination.
If the value is not enough, you can only make it easier in subjects such as martial arts and horsemanship.
In the final test, you can't do anything.
Without real materials, you will definitely not be able to cope with the challenge of the test.
However, that has nothing to do with him.
Insufficient strength leads to self-disgrace.
Similar to this, we are not afraid of investigation. It is common in every prefecture and county.
"It's not enough. If Fang Yue's grades are too poor, we have no choice but to give up."
Liu Zheng looked at the roster and found that Fang Yue was young, nineteen years old this year.
Wu Xiucai, who was admitted last year, has already begun to strengthen his bones this year.
This level of cultivation is good, but it is a bit early to take the martial arts exam.
After all, if you polish it for two more years, you will have to exercise all the bones in your body before you come back.
Then you will be more confident, and maybe you will have the strength to win the championship.
"Master Liu, Group D's stone-lifting test has begun." The official next to him reminded.
Fang Yue was in the Ding group.
Immediately afterwards, Liu Zheng looked at the school grounds through the window.
Fang Yue was quickly found through the physical description in the booklet. After all, several other people participating in the assessment were older.
Fang Yue, who is younger and looks a bit green, can be recognized at a glance.
"Two thousand two hundred kilograms, average to above average, pretty good."
Wen Wu is the first.
There is no second in martial arts.
The martial arts examination is not as advanced as the civil examination. If you want to help people engage in fraud for personal gain, you actually need candidates to have a level no lower than the average.
Otherwise, once you try it, the secret will be exposed directly.
Isn't this just a matter of fact?
Only martial arts, equestrian and other subjects are available for convenience.
For example, in martial arts, the score depends entirely on the examiner. It is normal to score more points.
Equestrian can arrange docile and good horses for the opponent, so that good results can be achieved.
All of these have opportunities.
Since Liu Zheng was interested, he immediately signaled his confidants to make arrangements.
Just as his officials were about to leave, Liu Zheng seemed to have thought of something, and then suddenly stopped him:
"Is this Fang Yue from Daliushu Village?"
"Yes, he is from Daliushu Village."
Liu Zheng nodded and waved his hand to let the confidant leave.
Then, he looked at Fang Yue who had finished lifting the stone and was about to take part in the next assessment.
The corner of Liu Zheng's mouth raised slightly. If he remembered correctly, Chen Chengan seemed to have disappeared in the forest near Daliushu Village.
Also disappearing was the Qi-sensing secret book.
…
On this side, Fang Yue followed the examiner to the shooting range on the other side of the school ground to start assessing bow shooting.
Nine-stone bow used for assessment.
That is to say, it takes one thousand six hundred and twenty kilograms of force to pull it open.
If you want to use it freely, your strength must be at least 1,800 kilograms.
This is not difficult for Fang Yue.
He has enough strength and hunts all year round. The bow shooting test is a score test.
Sure enough, he got an A grade in this test.
Among dozens of people, he ranked fifth.
~~~~~~
At the same time, Yudai riverside.
Li Xiangjun sat on the railing and played some music.
"What's wrong with sister Lian'er? Why are you so restless today?"
Li Xiangjun can become one of the oirans of Yihong Tower, so he has his own merits.
His skin is as good as snow, and his body has a natural and elegant body fragrance that makes people linger.
At this moment, this beautiful woman's shoulders were half exposed, and she looked at the enchanted maid in front of her with a half-smile.
"Do you miss your lover again? Do you wonder why he didn't come today? Haha, I've already asked about it. That little friend is taking part in the martial arts examination today."
"Tsk, tsk, I didn't expect him to be a martial arts scholar. But don't worry, people like him can't be allowed to gain power. I've already found someone to teach him a lesson on the school field."
Li Xiangjun smiled with his own charm.
But her words made the girl named Lian'er become anxious: "Sister, no, you can't do this!"
"Haha, it's nothing, just protect me. My sister is joking with you. How can I find someone to deal with a martial arts scholar?"
"real?"
"Of course it's true, it really can't be true any more!"
~~~~~~
Meanwhile, in Big Willow Village.
In the Fang family yard.
"Counting the time, it's going to snow. When Shi'er left, she didn't bring any thick clothes, and she didn't know if it would be cold or not."
Mrs. Chen was peeling walnuts at one time or another.
The nuts fell one by one into the basket next to them.
"Mom, I've already told Uncle Fuquan that we won't do anything until Brother Hu comes back."
At this time, Fang Cheng came back from outside. When I saw the walnuts peeled by Mrs. Chen, I grabbed a handful and stuffed them into my mouth.
"Huh? Put it down quickly. If you let me eat it, it was all peeled for your brother."
Chen was furious and raised his hand to beat Fang Cheng.
But thinking that her eldest son was about to get married and he would become an adult after getting married, she couldn't continue to lecture him like this.
The mother-in-law always teaches her son that he will never grow up and his family will not be strong.
"Just this once, if you eat it again, peel it yourself."
"Hey, mother, I won't eat it and leave it to my brother." Fang Cheng touched his head, put down the nuts in his hand, and said with a smile.
"Huh, if I tell you to eat, you will eat. When you are full, go to the entrance of the village to replace your father."
Counting the time, Fang Yue will be back soon.
Therefore, these days, Mrs. Chen asked Fang's father and Fang Cheng, who were still alive, to take turns waiting for Fang Yue at the entrance of the village.
"Hey, I got it, mother."
