Chapter 199: Martial Arts Test Begins

On March 15th, the Chunwei martial arts exam started.

During the Daji Dynasty, the laws and regulations clearly stated that all martial arts examinations were handled by the martial arts temple organization, with court officials and local military and civilians only providing assistance.

Therefore, today in the Wu Temple, Qin Yu took the lead, and even Tan Chongrui only sat on his right hand. On the other hand, Shangguan Yun and Baojiao County Prime Minister and County Lieutenant sat.

Originally, Ye Zhong, the head of the capital, was also coming, but he had already led his army into the mountains of Baojiao County to suppress bandits and demons for more than half a month, and it was difficult to stay away, so he was absent this time.

As the main sacrificial temple of the Daji Dynasty, the Wu Temple was dedicated to the ancestor Wu, and also to the ten great saints of ancient and modern times and seventy-two generals.

In the past dynasties, except for the chief priest position of Wuzu, which remains unchanged, and the first four of the ten saints, the other six saints and seventy-two generals have different changes.

For example, in the Epoch Dynasty, the Ji Kingdom Martial Temple had a sculpture of Ye Qingniu, a famous general in the middle of the Hong Dynasty who was one of the seventy-two generals enshrined by the Hong Dynasty, moved out of the temple and replaced it with the founding general of the Ji Dynasty. 'Champion Hou' moved into the Martial Arts Temple.

All the statues in the Wu Temple are made of pure copper.

The temple is divided into three entrances, the first entrance is the worship hall, the second entrance is the Wuzu hall, where the ten saints are enshrined, and the third entrance is the Dacheng hall, where the seventy-two generals are enshrined.

Qin Yuxian, Tan Chongrui, Shangguan Yun, Qi Wanshan, and Ma Tianlin, representing the central court, martial arts temple, and local officials, sat in the square in front of the third Dacheng Hall, quietly waiting for the last two who could come here. Ten people.

"Grandmaster, as the role model of martial arts in Qiulong Mansion, with you taking charge of the martial arts examination this time, our Baojiao County is only the size of a martial arts student's 'rural examination', and has almost reached the scale of the government examination." Lieutenant Ma Xian sat in the second seat on the right , said with emotion: "It's hard to imagine that this time the quota of martial arts students will finally be awarded the title. How many people in Baojiao County can we have?"

A rural examination attracted all the geniuses from the region. The rural examination became a 'government examination', and the difficulty of the examination for martial arts students in Baojiao County was increased by more than a hundred times.

………………

Outside the Martial Arts Temple, and here today, there are also crowds of people. People watching the excitement in the city, especially many big aristocratic families, big families, big landowners, old and young, are here.

There are also many outsiders coming from other places, all with nursing homes and other escorts.

When Chen Ku came here, he found that his master Yang Luchan, his senior brother Yang Shaoqi, his master Shang Yunfang, even Kou Ming, his sister-in-law, and Huzi were all here.

"Junior brother, you are finally here. Many people have signed up. We wanted to sign up for you, but the rules are not allowed." Kou Ming said.

He was very much looking forward to Chen Ku passing the martial arts examination. Although after the New Deal Reform, those who passed the martial arts examination might not have any special rights to tax exemptions, but the fame that a martial arts student brought could not be bought with any amount of money.

"Second uncle, you must pass the exam!" Huzi hugged Chen Ku's thigh.

Although my sister-in-law and my mother didn't speak, as honest country people, I never thought that one day my family would be able to witness such a thing.

Passing the martial arts examination is completely different from becoming a shopkeeper.

When people evaluate a person's potential, making money is certainly important, but the genes engraved in their bones still feel that "wealth is not as good as wealth."

No matter how rich you are, you are just a rich man full of copper odor.

But having fame really means becoming a 'noble person'.

"Don't worry, I will definitely live up to everyone's expectations."

Chen Ku responded to everyone and then looked towards the registration direction in front of the martial arts temple. To be honest, he had no pressure to pass the martial arts examination and felt that he could do it easily.

What worried him was actually the trial in the 'Martial Temple World' after passing the martial arts examination.

At the same time, he was also a little anxious about the weapons that Erlang had refined.

Erlang said that it will be completed in seven days. Now I don't know if he has completed it, on the way back, or is still training?

"Then I'll go."

Chen Ku said goodbye to everyone and squeezed towards the registration office. With his body and strength, he reached the registration position effortlessly.

I saw a person standing directly in front of the martial arts temple. It was Feng Buping, the twelfth Taibao among the twelve Taibao.

Seeing that many people had gathered here, he smiled and said:

"On March 15th, martial arts begins. Everyone knows it. I don't need to say more about this, but there is one thing. Although the registration method for this year's martial arts examination is the same, the difficulty of the examination will be greatly improved..."

When he opened his mouth, his voice was not very loud, but it just suppressed all the noise, and the clear voice echoed in everyone's ears, clearly audible.

"Strength of the Five Realms!"

Di Jianqing and Fu Huangfei looked at each other in the crowd, feeling shocked:

"I have long heard that Grandmaster Qin Yuxian has twelve eunuchs, each of whom is a leader. I didn't expect that even the twelfth one, who is less than twenty-three or four years old, has a fifth-level cultivation level. ”

Amidst the whispers of the people below.

Feng Buping said slowly:

"The registration conditions for this martial arts test are the same as usual. They are limited to under twenty years old and above the internal energy level. Those who meet these conditions can register. However, after registering, the content of the examination will be on skills, strength, and combat. , with different variations.

First of all, let me talk about the first skill. Have you seen the stone monument behind me? "

Everyone, including Chen Ku, looked at the stone tablet behind Feng Buping. It was over three feet high and was made of green gold. It was unknown what kind of material it was made of. There were many soldiers guarding it.

Feng Buping said: "This stone tablet is a piece of 'Xuanjinshi' that my master Qin Yuxian took out from the inner storehouse of my Qiulong Martial Arts Association. It is much harder than ordinary gold and iron. This year's first test about 'skills' is that after registration, no matter what skills and weapons you use, you need to leave your name on this stone tablet. Only those who leave their names can start the second test."

After saying that, Feng Buping turned around and made way.

"Okay, registration can start now."

After Feng Buping finished speaking, Chen Ku heard a wailing:

"Didn't the martial arts test in previous years test the proficiency of martial arts, stone lock training, and archery? Why did it become like this this year? It's already difficult to leave a mark on this black gold stone, not to mention the need to engrave words."

"Look at what you said. In previous years, could a master preside over the provincial examination?"

"Aren't you also from another place? So many of us from all over Qiulong Prefecture came to Baojiao County to compete with the martial arts students of Baojiao County for places. It's already unfair to them. What's wrong with the master making the martial arts test more difficult?"

As everyone was talking, one after another, young people who met the age and cultivation level began to register.

The level under 20 years old was enough to knock out 90% of the people present today.

Accompanied by the young people, after their bone age was measured and their internal energy was tested, they began to use their methods on the lapis lazuli tablet.

Chen Ku was not in a hurry, but planned to wait and see what other people could do.

"This is impossible! The Huanggang sword in my hand is only one step away from being a famous soldier. How could it be impossible to leave a mark on the lapis lazuli?!"

"If a famous soldier can't leave a mark, who else can leave a mark?"

But at this time.

"I left a mark!"

One person said excitedly:

"It turns out that this stone tablet is a test of the warrior's experience in the operation of qi. It is useless to rely on sharpness. It is hard even if you are hard. Only by practicing a superior martial art to at least the 'great success' stage can you skillfully attach qi to external objects. This is a test of 'martial arts'. The higher the level of martial arts, the easier it is to engrave."

Others suddenly realized it.

Chen Ku was also thoughtful.

At this time, Chen Ku saw Di Jianqing walking up and said:

"Everyone, get out of the way, I'll do it."

Many people know this young genius of the Qiulong Di Mansion. He is only sixteen years old, with a third-level cultivation and a perfect Kanglong mace.

Di Jianqing took off a Kanglong mace from his back, held it in one hand, and used it as a pen. Like a silver hook and iron painting, he left his name on the stone tablet.

Di Jianqing!

The three big characters, no matter how deep and strong they were left on the tablet, were extremely eye-catching.

Chen Ku's eyes moved slightly when he saw this: "This kid's martial arts have actually increased again!"

A month ago, when he fought with the other party, he felt the other party's cultivation. Not only was he born with supernatural power, but he also had terrible martial arts qualifications. As a result, a month later, after the other party fought with him, his martial arts level did not decline but improved.

It should be said that he is indeed a genius.

With Di Jianqing's proof, the geniuses and prodigies from Qiulong Mansion tried one after another. After signing up, some failed and left sadly, while others proudly stepped into the Martial Temple and the first hall to take the second test.

Chen Ku watched for a long time and was about to step forward.

Suddenly, a figure passed by him, not hurriedly, with a chilling breath coming from his body, making everyone around him step back a few steps.

"Dugu Wuer!"

"Dugu Wuer is here!"

Chen Ku made way and immediately looked at the young man with a sword box on his back. His long hair was draped over his shoulders, and he exuded a stiff temperament all over his body, as if he was a human-shaped sword.

But just when Chen Ku was about to see what means this young sword demon, who was said to be very famous, would use to leave his name on the stone tablet.

Suddenly, the sword box behind the young sword demon trembled, and three swords flew out, trembling around him, with the sword tips pointing to three positions.

One of the positions was Chen Ku's position.

At this moment, everyone was shocked.

This unique sword box has never taken the initiative to fly out the sword since coming to Baojiao County, no matter what kind of enemy he is facing. What is going on now?

Even Feng Buping in front of the stone tablet frowned and shouted at the young man with the sword box:

"Dugu Wuer, this is the registration site for the martial arts test, what are you doing?"

Chen Ku was pointed at by one of the swords, and he also frowned, subconsciously paying attention and examining the black-haired young man with his back to him.

However, the black-haired young man with the sword case on his back first looked at the three swords that flew out of his case, and seemed to be slightly surprised for a moment, then he spoke calmly to Feng Buping, saying:

"I didn't do anything, but the three swords in my case were here, and suddenly I felt the auras of three young strong men who could make me feel threatened, so I responded spontaneously."

Dugu Wuer finished speaking.

Everyone was surprised.

A young strong man who could make Dugu Wuer, who was much stronger than his peers, feel threatened?

There are three more?

Everyone looked at the positions where the three swords were pointing, and subconsciously avoided them, knowing that they were definitely not pointing at themselves.

Immediately, a burst of laughter came from the crowd, and they saw a yellow-haired young man carrying two sledgehammers on his shoulders, with a pointed mouth and narrowed cheeks, and broad shoulders, like a rickety ghost, slowly facing Dugu Wuer. Come.

"The number one person on the list of Qiu Long Tianjiao!"

"Pei Qingzhi!"

At the same time, the crowd dispersed as the second sword pointed, and a woman wearing nine-color neon clothes slowly walked up, with a colorful bird standing on her shoulder.

"That's... the little princess of Han Shouhou Mansion!"

"Oh my god, the princess of Han Shouhou Mansion actually came to take part in the martial arts exam."

But at this moment, more people were looking at where the third sword was pointing.

Even Dugu Wuer, Pei Qingzhi, and Guan Hongluan looked curiously at the location of the third sword.

It can be said that whether it is Dugu Wuer, Pei Qingzhi or Guan Hongluan, they are all aware of the recognition of their strength by Dugu Wuer's Divine Sword in the Box. They know in their hearts that the person who can be their enemy in this martial arts test is probably someone else. Two people.

But I didn't expect...

The person pointed at by the third sword was not very familiar to them.

"Who is that?"

The Tianjiao who came from Qiulong Mansion were not familiar with Chen Ku.

Until the warriors from Youbaojiao County shouted out Chen Ku’s name:

"That's Chen Ku from our Baojiao County!"

Chen Ku frowned slightly.

He originally wanted to see other people's methods of leaving names, and did not want to expose himself. After all, in the martial arts examination, exposing yourself in advance and letting others know something about yourself is not a good thing, and you will be targeted.

Unexpectedly, the plan was disrupted by Dugu Wuer's sword?

What sword is that?

Not only can it float in the air like a flying sword.

Can you actually feel his breath?

Subconsciously, Chen Ku was thinking, how should he deal with such a flying sword?

At this moment, Guan Hongluan also looked at Chen Ku curiously.

Dugu Wuer's sword actually identified this martial artist born and raised in Baojiao County as a threat comparable to her and Pei Qingzhi?

Pei Qingzhi is the most capable person among the younger generation in Qiulong Mansion, so it is easy to understand why he can be drawn into Dugu Wuer's rival.

She possesses the unparalleled martial arts passed down by her family, subduing the dragon and refining the magic sword, and is at the peak of the four realms.

It is normal for Dugu Wuer's sword to sense threats.

Although she had heard of Chen Ku from Baojiao County, who was said to be able to kill four realms in three realms, but based on this... he was not qualified in any case.

Unless, this Chen Ku has something she doesn't know about.

Chen Ku subconsciously did not look at Guan Hongluan, mainly because he did not look at his own incarnation of the five-color peacock. He just looked at the Dugu unique sword pointed at him and said softly:

"I don't think anyone likes to be pointed at by a sword. Why don't you put your sword away?"

Hearing this, Dugu Wuer took a look at Chen Ku. Although he couldn't see from his appearance that Chen Ku had anything worthy of being feared by his divine sword, he always believed in his sword, so he knocked on the sword box and took back the three swords. He picked up the divine sword and said:

"Since my sword recognizes these three as masters, let's leave our names together and let me see what skills the three of them have that can be feared by my sword."

With that said, he took the lead in walking towards the stone monument.

"Hey, okay, let's see whose handwriting is bigger!" Pei Qingzhi chuckled and followed closely.

Guan Hongluan glanced at Chen Ku and said with a smile: "Chen Ku, since Brother Dugu has said so, how about the four of us show off our skills in front of this stone tablet? Just in time, let me see Brother Chen too What is the place that Dugu Sword Box is afraid of?"

After that, he walked towards the stone monument.

At this moment, everyone paid attention to the actions of the four people:

"Why do I feel like the martial arts test hasn't even started yet, and it seems like I'm going to directly enter the competition for the top three?"

There is no doubt that these three people, Dugu Wuer, Pei Qingzhi, and Princess Guan Hongluan, are almost dominant in the first tier. With their presence, they almost dominate the top three.

As a result, the three martial arts tests have not yet started, and the competition will begin at the registration place.

Does this mean a decisive battle at first sight? (End of chapter)
