When he came to a place surrounded by a group of people, Lu Chong saw an official who was registering for assessment sitting next to a long wooden table. Every time he called a person's name, a person would come forward to sign and receive ten arrows. There was a red line on the ground not far away. There was a pot of quiver on the ground about three meters away from the red line. The diameter of the quiver's edge was only eight inches.

People who come for the first time often find it difficult to throw arrows into the quiver. Even those who have practiced often fail to hit five or six. However, the assessment of this first level must require more than five arrows to be thrown.

When it was Lu Chong's turn, Lu Chong stood outside the red line, holding a cold iron arrow in his hand, and tried the lightness and distance. An arrow flew out. With a bang, the arrow hit the edge of the quiver and bounced out and landed on the ground.

Everyone secretly complained, but Lu Chong threw the second arrow over. This time the arrow hit the edge of the mouth, but the arrow bounced into the quiver.

The onlookers cheered loudly. Lu Chong had mastered the strength and direction of the projection through two trial shots, and then threw the remaining eight arrows one by one, all accurately entering the quiver.

People started to yell, and even the recruiting officials looked at Lu Chong in surprise. At this time, the officials who were assessing announced loudly: "Lu Chong, the first level is to project archers, nine out of ten, the best, pass the level."

After filling out the records, the recruiting officials took Lu Chong to the second level of assessment. At this time, a wide circular field was erected in the middle of the circular field. A rope was tied to both ends of the columns. Three straw men about half a foot long were hung in the middle of the rope. A short wall was built around the outside of the two wooden columns with a radius of ten feet. The assessment requirement was to ride a horse along the low wall three circles, and each circle had to fire a bow and arrow at the hanging straw men. As long as one arrow was shot in three arrows, it would be considered qualified.

After Lu Chong received a bow and three bows, he tried the elasticity of the bowstrings hard and came to the circular field. Another assessment official took out a thin horse. Lu Chong sat on the horse. The official slapped the horse's butt, and the horse slowly ran. Although the speed was not fast, the horse did not stop. It seemed that it knew its mission and would be punished if it didn't run three laps each time.

This is also to facilitate the assessment of people without having to worry about controlling the speed of the horse, and can focus on aiming and shooting. However, it is quite difficult for people who rarely shoot bows and archers.

When the horse ran through the first lap, Lu Chong began to shoot the first arrow with a bow. Everyone saw the bow and arrow flying out with a whizzing sound, shooting on the arm of the first straw man on the left, hanging diagonally on the outside but not falling off. The assessment officer frowned slightly, but still recorded it on the table. If it has not fallen after three laps, it will be barely qualified.

After going around in the second circle, Lu Chong pulled the bow and shot hard. The arrow flew out violently against the straw man's neck and landed on the far ground. Everyone sighed. However, the recruited official opened his mouth in surprise and thought to himself that the arrow was so powerful.

Lu Chong's face was still plain. When it was the third round, Lu Chong picked up the bow and arrow again. The people around him felt a flash in front of him. He heard a bang in his ears. The arrow feather penetrated the grass man's throat. Due to the excessive force, the grass man's lower body fell from mid-air.

Everyone was surprised for a while before they heard the officials who were assessing announced loudly: "Lu Zong, the second level of riding and shooting, two of the three, good, pass the level."

At this time, Lu Chong had already dismounted. He recruited officials to come over and patted Lu Chong's arms, and said with a smile: "It's pretty good! I hope you will set a record of our smallest soldier until the end."

After saying that, he led Lu Chong outward and soon came to a wide grassland. Lu Chong knew that this was the assessment office for throwing iron guns in the third level. He saw that red lines were drawn on the grass in front of him. The lines indicated some numbers, and two yellow thick lines were marked at the throwing point, and the two thick lines were about ten feet apart.

The assessment official told Lu Tong that the one behind is the starting position, and the one in front is the throwing position. If it exceeds the front position, it will be considered a failure to throw. You must be as cautious as possible. There is only one chance to throw, otherwise you will eventually fail.

In this way, this throwing assessment is not only to assess the power of throwing, but also to assess the psychology of throwing and the ability to control the body. If you are not careful, all your previous efforts will be wasted.

Lu Chong held the cold iron spear in his right hand and slowly walked to the starting line behind to stand firm. He estimated the weight of the iron spear in his hand. In fact, this iron spear is very light for Lu Chong, only about one junction. Perhaps it is heavier for those who have not practiced the meridian technique. However, for Lu Chong, who can use 50 junctions of power, it is afraid that it will cause a huge shock. Lu Chong is considering how to grasp the throwing distance.

According to the assessment regulations, the distance to be twenty meters high is qualified, and the distance to twenty meters high is considered good, and the distance to be more than twenty meters high is excellent. Therefore, Lu Chong now needs to carefully measure the distance ahead, and he doesn't want to make himself too amazing.

Lu Chong slowly started forward, gradually increased his strength to the yellow line in front, holding the iron spear high in his right hand, but a lively inner diameter was controlling the iron spear to fly out into the air. The iron spear fell on the grass along an arc. An assessment official ran over to check. After a while, the official ran back and reported to the recruiting officials and recording the assessment official: "The iron spear landed at 28 feet away."

After filling out the records, the official of the assessment of the record announced: "Lu Chong, throwing an iron gun at the third level, with a distance of 28 meters away, excellent, pass the level."

The recruiting officials copied the record form and then said to Lu Chong: "You have passed all three levels and are already considered a new soldier. We will go back to the recruitment office to go through the procedures later. However, there is one thing I want to tell you. According to your assessment situation, you can also choose to continue to assess junior officers. Let's go! Let's talk while walking."

Lu Chong asked: "How are the ranks of officers classified?"

The recruiting official explained: "The officers from low to high are flag officers, squad officers, school officers, battalion officers, lieutenants and general officers. The officers' assessment is in another venue. You have to re-register and another person will take you to the assessment."

Back at the recruitment office, the recruiting officials reported the assessment situation to Su Jianzhong. Su Jianzhong did not expect Lu Chong to achieve such a good result, so he ordered: "Fill out the assessment officer's form and let's go and take a look together."

After filling in the form again, everyone came to another venue. There were much fewer people here, but it was still very lively. Lu Chong saw a large flowerbed made of grass in front of him. The flowerbed seemed very chaotic and complicated, and there was a large arena not far away, with two people fighting fiercely on it.

After a new recruiting official settled Su Jianzhong and others, he said to Lu Chong: "There are two types of assessments for junior officers. One is the assessment of banner officers, and the other is the assessment of sentry officers. Only after the assessment of banner officers meets the standards can the assessment of sentry officers be carried out."

"First of all, the assessment of the banner officer. The flower garden you see is actually a Nine Palace Map. I will give you a Nine Palace Map diagram. You have to memorize it in a cup of tea. The Nine Palace Map in the flower garden is designed according to the drawings. After you enter the flower garden, you must find the way within a quarter of an hour. Even if you meet the standards, otherwise it will be considered a failure. Do you understand?"

Lu Chong nodded, and when he recruited officials, he called an assessment official and handed Lu Chong a picture of the Nine Palaces. When Lu Chong saw that there were very complex lines on it, there was only one entrance and one exit. The routes in the middle were intertwined, which could easily make people fall into a trap.

Lu Chong quickly used his brain power. Since he practiced the three meridians, his reaction and memory have been greatly improved. Not long after, he printed a clear route of the Nine Palace Maze in his mind. In order to ensure more accuracy, Lu Chong did not hand over the array diagram to him until the assessment official reminded him.

The assessment officer took Lu Chong to the big flowerbed, opened a hidden door for Lu Chong to enter, and started burning incense and timing.

Lu Chong walked quickly in the middle of the flowerbed. The interior of the flowerbed was very large, which was very different from the distance indicated on the array diagram. However, the settings of the lines were the same. Every time we arrived at the intersection, Lu Chong could easily avoid the confusing prompts that were deliberately set up. After dozens of turning lines, Lu Chong finally came out of the flowerbed. At this time, it was less than two cups of tea.

Opposite the exit, Su Jianzhong and others were sitting at a square table drinking tea. When Lu Tong came out of the exit so quickly, everyone was surprised. When Lu Tong walked to them, they saw the assessment officer running over and filled in the form with the word "meet the standard" with sweat.

The recruiting officials stared at Lu Chong strangely for a while, then turned to ask Su Jianzhong for instructions. Su Jianzhong nodded heavily and said, "Since the formation has met the standards, then go to the ring."
