In just a few hours, Yang Ji had already stopped writing and completed the answer sheet.
"It's a pity that the level of the martial arts examination for children is not very difficult and it doesn't show my level. If you want to compete in this examination, you have to wait until the martial arts examination in the evening."
Yang Ji thought to himself. He raised his head and took a look. Sure enough, many people in the hall had completed their answer sheets.
This kind of writing test, which is not too difficult, cannot test everyone's level. The competition becomes who can write faster. Even Yang Ji can't take advantage of it.
However, Yang Ji is not depressed. For the martial arts examination, it is just an "appetizer" before the competition, and the real meal will have to wait until the evening.
After putting away their pen and ink, Yang Ji and the other candidates who had finished answering the questions quickly walked out of the martial arts hall.
"Brother, brother..., brother!"
Yang Ji had just walked out of the martial arts hall, and before he had gone far, he suddenly heard a surprise cry. Yang Ji didn't pay attention, and continued to walk forward as he was still thinking about what happened in the evening.
"Brother, don't you remember me? I am Han Bin!..."
The man patted Yang Ji on the shoulder from behind and said.
"Han Bin..."
Hearing this familiar name, Yang Ji finally stopped and turned around, and sure enough he saw a familiar face.
"Haha, it's really you. I knew you would definitely take part in the martial arts examination."
Han Bin looked very excited. When he came out of the examination room and saw Yang Ji for the first time, he thought it was his illusion, but he didn't expect that he was right.
"Is there a problem?"
Yang Ji frowned and said. It has been more than a month since we said goodbye to Shuangji Ridge. Yang Ji himself had almost forgotten about it. Unexpectedly, Han Bin still remembered him and seemed to be particularly concerned about him.
"hey-hey."
Han Bin smiled awkwardly. When Yang Ji glared at him, he felt that he was a little too enthusiastic:
"Don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything else. Last time in Shuangji Ridge, if it weren't for your help, I might have been ambushed by the red-browed warriors like everyone else and died in that fork in the road."
Han Bin has always been self-aware and knows that his strength is not high. If he enters that fork in the road, there is a high possibility that he will not be able to get out.
"I am a person who really admires capable people. And you saved my life, so I have always wanted to treat you to a meal to express my gratitude."
Han Bin said.
"No need."
Yang Ji shook his head when he heard this and strode forward. Shuangji Ridge was just a small interlude for him, and Yang Ji was not interested in this kind of entertainment.
Han Bin became anxious and quickly ran in front of Yang Ji.
"Then you should at least tell me your name, right?"
Han Bin said quickly.
After he arrived in Pingchuan City, he had to find a way to find Yang Ji. Unfortunately, he was too mysterious. Han Bin didn't even know the name of this mysterious "companion" at the time. Now that he finally met him, he would easily let him go.
Yang Ji glanced at Han Bin and found that he was completely stalking and would not give up until he achieved his goal. He hesitated and thought of a name. It didn't matter. Even if Han Bin knew it, it would be nothing.
influence, and no longer insist on it.
"Yang Ji."
Yang Ji had met Yang Wen and Yang Wu, and he did not want to hide his real name at this time. After saying this, he walked away. This time, Han Bin did not stop him and watched Yang Ji disappear into the crowd.
"Yang Ji..."
Han Bin thought thoughtfully: "It turns out his name is Yang Ji."
After a while, Han Bin chuckled, took out a notebook from his arms, and wrote Yang Ji's name on it.
"Yang Ji, well, I don't know if he has anything to do with the Yang clan. This guy knows a little bit and is so awesome. I wonder if he will be among the final seven in this martial arts examination!"
Han Bin chuckled and flipped through the previous pages. In addition to Yang Ji, the names of other people were also written in this book. They were all found during Han Lei's time in Pingchuan City and were eligible to compete.
This year's "Wu Tong Sheng" qualified master.
Han Bin is not very strong and thinks that he has no hope of qualifying for the "Martial Arts Student" this time. However, he likes to record the information of these "martial arts geniuses".
Although Yang Ji has never made a move in front of him, a person can "know the subtle things" and "know the autumn mood by seeing the fallen leaves". This ability is even more terrifying than powerful martial arts!
In Han Bin's mind, he subconsciously ranked people like Yang Ji among the candidates for the final spot!
Putting away the book in his arms, Han Bin chuckled, quickly blended into the crowd, and disappeared.
…
The "Han Bin" incident was just a small episode. Yang Ji quickly found a hotel and stayed in it.
After the literary test, many students returned to their hometowns, and the inns in Pingchuan City were naturally much empty, and they were no longer as nervous as before.
"We will settle here tonight and change places tomorrow."
Yang Ji didn't plan to stay longer. He would stay for one night at most and change the place tomorrow. This way he could avoid being discovered by Yang Wen, Yang Wu and others.
After the literary test part is over, the martial arts test part comes soon, which is the highlight of the "martial arts examination".
In the evening, there was a sea of people in front of the "Martial Arts Hall", with nervous and excited people everywhere.
"The martial arts test has begun. All candidates listen to the order and prepare to enter according to your wooden signs. It will be conducted in separate areas!"
The strong voices of the two "camp captains" announced the beginning of the "martial arts test" part.
"boom!"
A burst of shocking cheers erupted in front of the Martial Arts Hall, and a festival-like atmosphere flowed everywhere in the air. For "martial arts students" who pursue strong power and like to practice and compete, the martial arts test part of the martial arts examination is uncompromising.
An unforgettable celebration!
Everyone can compete and compete with martial arts masters from other places in this "celebration". At the same time, they can also watch the competitions of other "martial arts geniuses", broaden their horizons, and compare the gap between themselves and others.
"Hopefully today's game won't disappoint."
Yang Ji smiled in his heart, standing in the crowd and getting infected unknowingly.
Roll! Roll!
On the first floor of the Martial Palace, the huge isolation steel door opened, revealing the huge space behind it. As soon as Yang Ji walked in, he saw a bright brilliance coming towards him.
"This is... such a big night pearl!"
Yang Ji looked at the interior of the first floor of the Martial Palace in surprise. Inside the main hall, the light was not torches, but luminous pearls inlaid in the top hall of the main hall.
There are many of these luminous pearls, ranging from the size of a child's arm to the big ones as big as an adult's fist. Each one emits a dazzling light. Together with the other gems inlaid on the top of the hall, it illuminates the hall as bright as day.
This way, there won't be any impact even at night!
"The imperial court is really generous!"
Yang Ji was amazed when he looked at those luminous pearls. He was familiar with scriptures and knew that these luminous pearls were produced in the deep sea. Only giant sea clams thousands of feet below the sea surface could produce such huge luminous pearls.
The water pressure under the sea is very high. If a "martial artist" in the martial arts realm falls into the depths, he will be crushed into a meat pie and die. It is almost impossible to find these luminous pearls in the deep sea, so it is extremely expensive.
It is worth thousands of gold, and only the imperial court has the manpower and material resources to salvage it.
"The imperial court actually embedded such a precious luminous pearl here for lighting. The imperial court really attaches great importance to martial arts!"
Yang Ji thought in his heart.
Yang Ji had never seen such a huge luminous pearl in the "Wen Palace". Although the imperial court claimed to attach equal importance to civil and military examinations, from this point of view, we can see that the prosperity of martial arts is far beyond that of literary education!
Yang Ji took a breath and walked inside with the wooden sign.
The interior of the martial arts hall is very huge. The entire interior is shaped like a "well" and is isolated into competition units. Arenas are set up for simultaneous competition.
This is the first stage of the martial arts examination. Only the winners of this stage are eligible to participate in the next stage of the competition until they finally win the "Martial Arts Examination".
The "Martial Arts Examination" is different from the Liberal Arts Examination. It requires "seeing the real results" and requires competition after competition. Therefore, the entire competition process will be very long, lasting from ten to twenty days.
Yang Ji took the wooden sign and quickly found the competition unit he belonged to. It was a huge unit separated by steel plates, with a huge square platform more than two feet high in the middle.
The entire space was nearly an acre in size, densely packed with buzzing crowds, breathing eight-stage, nine-stage, and even warriors full of blood and courage, all there!
On the ring, four elite soldiers from the army were stationed on all sides to maintain the order of the game. In the center of the ring, there was a sergeant who looked like a corps commander presiding over the game.
The game hasn't started yet, but the arena is already bustling with activity. There were even small pushing and shoving conflicts due to stampeding.
In the competition unit, every real expert is carefully looking around, looking for their potential competitors.
"There are more than a hundred people who are in the tenth level of breathing, and more than thirty people who are in the martial arts realm... It will not be easy to win this round!"
Yang Ji played a round and roughly estimated the situation of this competition unit.
Yang Ji didn't care about the opponents in the "breathing realm". With his current strength, he could easily defeat them. But those thirty or so martial arts realm warriors made Yang Ji's heart feel heavy.
Yang Ji has practiced hard, and now he is only at the first level of martial arts, not much higher than others. Being able to pass the test and reach the martial arts level itself shows that he has good qualifications.
There may be many crouching tigers, hidden dragons among these people, powerful opponents who can "defeat the strong with the weak". And this is just the beginning. There are countless powerful warriors in other units!
This is the difficulty in winning the title of "Wu Tongsheng" in the martial arts examination. Although usually, these warriors cannot be seen, and there don't seem to be many in number. Even for a century-old clan like the Yang clan, the number of warriors in the clan is
There aren’t too many “warriors” either.
But once the "Martial Arts Examination" is held every three years, all these people will come together. From the countryside and outside, big and small clans, military families, fields and countryside... there are even many people from outside Pingchuan County. These people usually
At that time, I didn't show off my demeanor and just practiced silently, but this time it all came flooding back.
"To raise an army for a thousand days, it can be used in a moment." These people prepared for three years in order to win the title of "Wu Tongsheng" in this competition.
Except for the last seven people, all others will be eliminated. This is the cruelty of the "Martial Arts Examination".
