The sergeant was slightly annoyed. Although he was not a big shot here, most of the people who came to take the examination treated him with respect.
However, when Zheng Haotian's eyes glanced at him, he was immediately frightened and his momentum was taken away.
But for some reason, he couldn't think of any resistance. When Zheng Haotian looked away, the feeling of depression in his heart dissipated.
However, since he was angry in his heart, he naturally refused to release the water any more. Seeing that Zheng Haotian had just taken out the folding bow, he immediately yelled: "Start..."
This actually meant that Zheng Haotian was not even given time to make adjustments and preparations.
However, when Zheng Haotian stood in front of the horizontal line, his heart had long been neither happy nor sad, and he had completely calmed down.
In his eyes, the copper coins swaying slightly in the wind in the distance seemed to be right in front of him, and he could touch them with just a stretch of his hand.
Hearing the sergeant's shouts, he opened his bow and loaded the arrow without thinking...
"Whoosh..."
A series of almost non-stop bow strings shook, sharp arrows shot through the air, and the sound of clanking came over.
Zheng Haotian actually shot ten arrows in succession, and the interval between each arrow was never more than one breath. As if in the blink of an eye, all ten arrows had been shot out.
What's even more horrifying is that these ten arrows were fired without fail, shooting down all the copper coins a hundred steps away.
"good……"
After a moment of silence, the venue suddenly erupted.
The slightest injustice in the sergeant's heart immediately dissipated. Such archery skills were truly amazing. The sergeant naturally knew that this man would accomplish great things in the future and that he would definitely not be able to provoke him.
"Captain, all ten arrows were hit, and the copper coins... were all broken into pieces."
After the soldier in charge of inspection at the front ran over, he suddenly shouted loudly.
Everyone was whispering to each other again, and the eyes looking at Zheng Haotian no longer contained a trace of contempt or ridicule, but were filled with awe.
It is already not easy to shoot a copper coin that is constantly shaking a hundred steps away. But shooting the copper coin down and breaking it into pieces is several times more difficult. Faintly, everyone has guessed that this little
This guy must have succeeded in cultivating Zhenqi. Only people with Zhenqi can achieve such abilities that are beyond the reach of ordinary people.
A twelve-year-old boy can already cultivate true energy. Even if there is only a trace of true energy, the possibility of becoming a hunter in the future is very high.
The sergeant signed his name and grades on the voucher, but did not invite him when he handed the item to Zheng Haotian.
A future hunter was not something his small longbow team could accommodate.
Zheng Haotian and Lin Ting walked side by side and left the shooting range in the eyes of everyone with mixed emotions.
"What are you looking at? Next one."
Hearing the shouts from the sergeant leader behind them, the two teenagers looked at each other and smiled.
Although they passed the test quite easily, there was still a hint of joy in their hearts, and even their steps became a little lighter.
After leaving the shooting range, they quickly rushed outside the military camp.
Among the eight major areas, the last four and archery are all conducted in the military camp, while the other three assessments of scout skills are conducted in the dense forest outside the military camp.
Outside the city, large tracts of forest should not be preserved. But Pianxi City is very powerful, and cities that can compete with it are thousands of miles away. There is no need to worry about anyone borrowing trees outside the city to forge siege equipment, so naturally there is no need to worry about it.
It will destroy the forest outside the city.
There are three large areas outside the forest. Zheng Haotian and the others came to the place where the trap technique was tested. There were already nearly ten people here waiting silently.
The assessment of trap skills is different from the assessment of archery. Outside the forest, there are various equipment for setting traps, such as ropes, spikes, barbs, wooden rafts, etc.
Of course, the equipment here is also the most common. Some of the things specially made by the Zheng family are simply not found here.
The examiner must select some of the equipment here, and then, accompanied by the sergeant in charge of the review, enter the dense forest to set up traps.
The trap technique assessment is conducted for ten to fifteen people at a time, and each person is followed by three sergeants. The allocation is also determined by drawing lots, making it extremely difficult to bribe. Of course, in comparison, this assessment is far less transparent.
It's not as clear-cut as archery and other items. But the people who come for the hunter assessment are basically ordinary people, and they don't have the money to bribe the examiners.
Unless the true disciples of aristocratic families are extremely bored, they will not come to take the hunter assessment. The proud sons of the emperor who occupy the vast majority of training resources are targeting the hunter masters and hunting kings who are the best among humans.
After waiting here for half an hour, it was finally Zheng Haotian's turn.
When he saw the certificates handed over by the two of them, the sergeant leader also had a strange look on his face.
That’s it for the fifteen-year-old Lin Ting. A twelve-year-old child also wants to participate, which is a rare sight.
However, after seeing the terrifying mace on Zheng Haotian's back and the comments about the ten arrows and ten broken coins on the voucher, he wisely put away his contempt.
If this young man is willing to join the army, his archery skills alone will be enough to impress any officer. Anyone would have some respect for such a person with real talent and knowledge.
A total of twelve people participated in this round. They first drew lots from a box one after another. There were a total of forty-five numbers, and each number corresponded to a sergeant in charge of the assessment.
These sergeants were recruited from various places and were good at setting traps. They were responsible for evaluation in groups of three, which almost eliminated most possibilities of cheating.
It can be seen that the big forces headed by the city lord still attach great importance to the assessment of hunters.
After all, this place can be regarded as the cradle for them to recruit talents. They cannot let too many people mix in, otherwise they will just cause trouble for themselves.
Zheng Haotian and Lin Ting both picked their best items and entered the dense forest accompanied by three sergeants.
Everyone is assigned an area of their own. In this area, traps can be arranged as they wish. The evaluation results are closely related to the quality, quantity and time of the traps. Under the supervision of three experienced veterans
, basically there will be no errors in judgment.
Zheng Haotian looked around, smiled slightly, put down what he was holding, took out a shovel, and started digging. His movements were very fast, and he dug a deep pit in just a few strokes.
The eyelids of the three sergeants behind him twitched slightly.
As the saying goes, experts will know if there is a trap as soon as they make a move. When they saw Zheng Haotian's actions, they immediately understood that he was a veteran who was good at setting traps.
However, Zheng Haotian's next performance surprised them even more.
He used wooden rafts, earth pits, and fishing nets to make a series of triple traps. The distance between each trap was just right. If someone really came to this area, there is a high probability that they would not be able to escape from this place.
However, what really frightened the three of them was that the time it took this young man to complete the three consecutive traps was less than a quarter of an hour.
His movements were smooth and powerful, and when he was setting up the trap, it was like he was making an ingenious work of art. When all was completed, the three sergeants even felt dizzy and dreamlike.
Already.
Zheng Haotian looked at the expressions of the three of them and couldn't help but smile proudly.
Among the heirlooms of the Zheng family, what he is best at is the trap technique. This time's arrangement is just a small test, and it is far from showing his true strength.
You must know that the maximum number of traps he can set is five in a series, not three.
However, in the assessment here, the triple trap is already beyond the limit that most people can reach. If he really takes out all the five traps, he may be in trouble.
Looking at Zheng Haotian who was smiling innocently, the three sergeants looked at each other and nodded in unison.
When they took Zheng Haotian out of the forest, the examiner said in surprise: "So fast? He failed to set up a trap."
If you make a mistake when setting up a trap, it is easy to fail. This kind of thing has been common in assessments in the past dynasties.
The three people smiled bitterly, and one of them said: "Captain, this young man is very powerful. He set up a series of triple traps within a quarter of an hour. He is much better than us."
The chief sergeant in charge of the examination was shocked. He pondered for a moment and actually went to the scene to investigate in person.
After seeing the triple trap with his own eyes, even this man was convinced. He came to Zheng Haotian and said: "Young man, your archery and trap skills are extraordinary. You are a natural-born scout. How about that?"
Follow me and join the army. As long as you agree, I will guarantee that you will become the squad leader within two years. In the future, you may not even be able to become the captain of the scout brigade."
The people around him all murmured to themselves and looked at Zheng Haotian with shock and admiration.
Such a young man is already so impressive at such a young age. If he were older, it would be even more impressive.
Zheng Haotian quickly followed Lin Ting's example and declined politely. Although the sergeant leader felt regretful, he had nothing to do.
A moment later, Lin Ting finished the test. The time he spent was second only to Zheng Haotian, but the quality of the traps was not inferior. Naturally, he passed the test smoothly.
The two smiled at each other and separated here. Lin Ting continued to stay outside the military camp to participate in the scout assessment, while Zheng Haotian entered the military camp again.
