Chapter 211: Rural martial arts test, one punch

"Of course, one of you is my daughter, and the other is a candidate in my jurisdiction. I cherish both of you so much, how can I let you kill each other."

Zhang Tao laughed.

"Let's go to the door."

Zhang Yan was afraid that Chu Linguang would regret it, so she quickly came to the entrance of the small courtyard.

Her weapon is an embroidered spring knife.

Although Chu Linguang was invited, he could not bring weapons with him. Instead, he came with a few small gifts, so Zhang Tao specially asked someone to fetch a nine-foot spear.

Taking the spear in hand, Chu Linguang said: "Miss, please!"

"Howl!"

Zhang Yan couldn't wait for a long time. She swiped the long knife gently, making a harsh sound. The blade carried a potential force, and a layer of blood burst out from the edge of the knife.

Chu Linguang's perception of light was astonishing. He saw it correctly, it was a streak of blood. The potential energy carried in Zhang Yan's sword technique seemed to be a stream of blood.

Watching the opponent's sword skills approach.

Chu Linguang shook his spear, and the spear intent burst out. A force from all directions clasped on Zhang Yan's Xiuchun knife. This sudden force caught Zhang Yan by surprise, and the knife could not be grasped at all.

"boom!"

The long knife was snatched away by Chu Linguang's spear intent and smashed into the gap between the floor tiles. Chu Linguang's gun tip also hovered an inch in front of Zhang Yan's throat.

Zhang Yan was dumbfounded.

Zhang Tao's face was full of disbelief.

"Assignment."

Chu Linguang put away his gun in time and held it in his hand.

Zhang Tao called him over and asked him to discuss with Zhang Yan. It seemed that he was exchanging ideas and promoting the relationship between the two parties. In fact, the main purpose was to draw him into his camp.

Chu Linguang knew that Zhang Tao held a high position and could not offend him, but if he got entangled with Zhang Tao, Uncle Du Guo would think too much about it in the future. If he wanted to get Zhang Tao's attention and make Uncle Du Guo not think too much, he could only work with Zhang Yan. An overwhelming victory in hand.

Secondly, since it is a competition, there is a winner and a loser.

Neither he nor Zhang Yan wanted to lose to the other party, and since they wanted to win, they had to win in an upright and clean manner to avoid causing other troubles.

Therefore, Chu Linguang unreservedly displayed the power of his spear and killed it with one blow. This not only won the victory easily, but also prevented uncontrollable things from happening after the two people fought. After all, swords and guns have no eyesight. Once the battle gets heated, no matter it is It was difficult for Chu Linguang or Zhang Yan to hold back.

Zhang Yan didn't seem to hear Chu Linguang's voice, and looked at the personal sword inserted into the gap between the floor tiles and still shaking.

"Sir, my master is still waiting for me to return. I will take my leave first."

Chu Linguang cupped his hands to Zhang Tao.

"Okay, come here often."

Zhang Tao forced a smile and said that he did not insist on staying, and letting Chu Linguang stay would only make his daughter even more embarrassed.

"Ah."

Chu Linguang was sent out by one of Zhang Tao's men, who prepared a carriage for him. Chu Linguang did not refuse and took the carriage from the Governor's Mansion back to the Duwei Mansion to avoid contact with the curfew patrol officers on the way.

"Gun Intention, he really awakened the Gun Intention."

After Chu Linguang left, Zhang Tao exclaimed.

"What did you say?"

Zhang Yan was even more shocked when she came back to her senses.

"Not long ago, news came from Nancheng that Chu Linguang had awakened his gun mind and used the power of his gun mind to help the Shuiyu Gang defeat Gu'er Khan. Now that I've seen it with my own eyes, it's true."

Zhang Tao explained.

As the top leader of Qiling Governor's Mansion, how could he not be unaware of the major events happening in the area under his jurisdiction? Even when Gurhan and his party died in the mountain forest on their way to Jincheng, he received the news immediately.

"If you give me another chance, I will definitely..."

"I will definitely continue to lose to him."

Zhang Yan refused to accept it, and she was killed by Chu Linguang with one move. This was something she could not accept, but Zhang Tao said cruelly.

"You thought you just lost to Chu Linguang's Spear Intent, but you didn't know that you lost to Chu Linguang in terms of sword skills, state of mind, and Qi Sea Power. Although the Spear Intent is strong, it does not have the powerful Qi Sea Power and Perfection Realm's spear skills. Support, he can't defeat you with one shot, especially his heart-guarding skills, his ability to tolerate favors and humiliations, even Yan Zhen can't compare to it."

Zhang Tao added.

"This... huh, I just don't accept it."

Zhang Yan felt very uncomfortable hearing Zhang Tao's words, and she agreed a lot in her heart, but she just couldn't accept it.

"When you can accept everything in front of you, you may have hope of defeating Chu Linguang. Along the way to martial arts, your state of mind is like a bright light. The stronger your state of mind, the brighter the light. Once the light goes out, you will not only lose your martial arts goals, but also fall into eternal catastrophe. place."

"You lost to Yan Zhen simply because you were not strong enough. When you lost to Chu Linguang, you were not only weak in strength, but also in a very different state of mind. Even if you awaken your sword intention and your sword skills will be stronger than the Flying Leaf Lotus Spear in the future, if your state of mind is still as impatient as it is now, You are also impossible to be Chu Linguang’s opponent.”

Zhang Tao said seriously.

He almost never denied Zhang Yan, but he knew that if he didn't say these words today, his daughter would only be ruined by her arrogant and domineering character.

"I... one day, I will be like Chu Linguang."

Zhang Yan was furious and wanted to refute, but couldn't find any reason. The scene of being killed by Chu Linguang once again appeared in his mind, and he finally closed his eyes and said helplessly.

In the captain's mansion.

Guo Wei and Yang Shaorong were both waiting for Chu Linguang to come back.

Chu Linguang told them what happened in detail.

Guo Wei and Yang Shaorong were both slightly silent.

"Junior brother did the right thing."

Yang Shaorong was the first to speak.

"Take the martial arts exam with peace of mind and don't think too much about anything else."

Guo Wei also agreed with Chu Linguang's approach.

Time flies.

In a blink of an eye.

The day for the rural examination and martial arts examination finally arrived with much anticipation.

Early in the morning, Chu Linguang, Hei Hu and Wang Chao followed Guo Wei to the examination center. Yang Shaorong was responsible for maintaining the order and safety of the examination room. The three of them stood ready in the examination room and paid close attention to every move around them.

"Master, let's go in first."

Chu Linguang and the others said goodbye to Guo Wei, who sat on a seat with a good view prepared by Yang Shaorong for him.

"I wish you success and a spot on the gold list!"

Guo Wei congratulated.

"Thank you Master."

The three of them then entered the candidate preparation area together.

The provincial examination is different from the road examination. This level is not only strict and difficult, but it is also the best opportunity for every candidate to make a leap.

Once you become a civil servant, you can serve the court and obtain official positions. Compared with Wu Xiucai, who only has a good reputation, a military civil servant can truly become a master. Not only can he help his relatives exempt from taxes, but he will also be able to respond to all requests in the local area. .

Therefore, in every rural martial arts examination, a large number of martial arts scholars from all over the country participate.

Among this group of martial arts scholars, candidates like Chu Linguang, who took the provincial examination just one year after passing the examination, only accounted for a small part. Most of the remaining people either took the initiative to endure it for four years after passing the examination, and did a good job. After being fully prepared, they waited for this martial arts test, such as Yan Zhen and Zhang Yan.

But there are more candidates like Wang Chao and Lin Yuanfu. They are not only familiar with the rules of the provincial examination, but also participated in the martial arts examination. However, they just failed to pass the exam, or even failed to pass the exam for several consecutive years.

Martial arts practice requires not only talent and hard work, but also various training resources.

Chu Linguang believed that without the training from the academy and the trial field, Guo Wei's generous teaching, and the blessing of his favor points, otherwise he would be one of the failed candidates, and even becoming a martial arts scholar would be difficult. .

It can be said that those who can pass the martial arts examination have certain talents in cultivation. Unfortunately, once cultivation enters the dragon elephant awakening stage, without the support of advanced breathing and movement methods, no matter how hard you work, it will be of no avail.

This is the case for most candidates.

Not everyone can practice day and night breathing techniques in the academy like Chu Linguang, and not everyone can meet a master like Guo Wei.

Even Guo Wei cannot guarantee that every one of his disciples will pass the martial arts examination. For example, Wang Chao has failed three times in a row. This is not only a problem of his character and talent, but also has something to do with Guo Wei's strength.

Although Guo Wei is powerful, there is still a certain gap in the training resources he can provide compared to the academy teachers and martial arts masters from some big families.

Chu Lin's success today is inseparable from his careful teaching, and it has a lot to do with his training in the academy and the training ground, especially the bottle of marrow washing liquid, which can cleanse muscles and cut marrow, and the pure body, even if it is Du Guo My uncle’s children also do not enjoy this kind of treatment.

Therefore, in every provincial examination, countless candidates fail, and more and more martial arts talents are accumulated. The sooner you practice martial arts and become famous, the better. For this reason, Dayuan has a clear rule that martial arts talents over the age of thirty-five cannot Continue to take the provincial examination.

Some martial arts scholars who have reached the age and have lost their qualifications for martial arts examinations will go to the military camp to seek positions as captains of ten men. Like Wang Chao, after failing the exam several times, he still needs some connections to become a local head catcher.

Therefore, some Wu scholars who could not endure the hardships in the military camp or felt that there was no hope of promotion would join the escort agency or form a hunting team to make a living in the mountains.

But most of them are like Li Yishan, who look after the homes and homes of wealthy families. A small number of people are attracted by bandits or join gangs. By chance, their skills greatly increase, and they eventually dominate the mountains and become kings, or become a generation of tycoons.

In any case, those who can pass the martial arts examination have the ability to make a full meal in this world. In the eyes of ordinary people, they are at least considered a figure.

Chu Linguang and three others entered the preparation area.

Older candidates like Wang Chao account for the majority.

"Brother Chu, Brother Tiger!"

Not long after the three of them sat down, two familiar figures came towards them. They were Teng Qingshan and Lin Yuanfu. Teng Qingshan had been patient for four years and was a candidate for the same Taoist examination as Dawu and Xiaowu. Lin Yuanfu failed in the last session. After three years of hard work, After practicing, I feel confident now.

After a while, Chu Linguang also saw Da Wu and Xiao Wu, as well as Da Wang and Xiao Wang.

"We brothers knew that it was impossible to win the ranking, so we just came here to make up the numbers."

The king laughed.

"I originally wanted to hold back for a few years and then take part in the next session, but my master said that others hold back and stay dormant in order to pass the three passes directly to the palace examination. If my brother and I can pass the provincial examination, it will be like smoke rising from our ancestral graves. So let’s take part together.”

Xiao Wang explained.

"Hahaha, the horse escort is quick to talk."

Everyone laughed together.

"Brother Wang, you have participated in three provincial examinations. Can you tell us what we need to pay attention to?"

Da Wu cupped his fist and said to Wang Chao.

"That's fine, I'm idle anyway, so I'll say a few more words."

Wang Chao did not refuse.

In fact, everyone has heard a lot about the rules of the rural martial arts examination. Both Ma Biaotou and Guo Wei have talked about it many times. Chu Linguang and Heihu have also privately consulted Wang Chao and even Yang Shaorong.

However, it was not yet time for the exam to start, so everyone had no problem listening to Wang Chao speak a few more words, so they all sat down around Wang Chao.

"The biggest difference between the rural examination and the Taoist examination is that most of the candidates have awakened the power of the dragon and elephant, and even opened the Dharma, and condensed the Dantian Qi sea. Therefore, the strength assessment is not tested by lifting the stone lock like in the Taoist examination, but by passing Fist strength tests the strength of one’s strength.”

"The basis for judging the strength of a punch depends on how many wooden stakes a person can break with one punch. Three wooden sticks are classified as B grade, and six are classified as A grade. Each wooden stake can withstand five hundred kilograms of force."

Wang Chao said slowly.

"So if you want to reach the standard in terms of strength, you must have at least three thousand kilograms of strength."

The king said worriedly.

"Punch strength can be tricky. A person may be able to punch a thousand kilograms of force with one punch, but he cannot lift something weighing a thousand kilograms." Wang Chao consoled him.

"Compared with the Taoist test, the provincial test focuses on actual combat strength, so whether it's boxing, spear, sword or stick skills, you have to confront the soldiers in a group of ten. The one who breaks out of the encirclement within the specified time will be ranked first."

Wang Chao continued.

Chu Linguang heard this and remembered the last round of confrontation in the academy.

He knew that the government soldiers who tested their strength were also undergoing assessment. Whoever could defeat more candidates would be promoted in the military camp, and all the government soldiers were transferred from other places to prevent anyone from colluding to fish in troubled waters.

And there are several departments monitoring the whole process.

"All practical subjects, except boxing, involve immediate confrontation. If you want to get a first-class result, you must not only defeat the soldiers on the ground, but also find a way to shoot down the weapons in the hands of the soldiers during the charge. Only in this way can you ensure a certain degree of success." Hit the list.”

Wang Chao said again.

In the three provincial examinations, he failed in the horse competition and failed three times.

"As for the archery subject, not only do you need to hit the target faster than others in the same group, but you also have to take advantage of the soldiers to hit the target first. During the process, you will be interfered by the soldiers, and you can choose to shoot them down. , but if you do that, the people in the same group will get there first."

"The provincial examination is far more stringent than the road examination, and it is basically impossible to pass the test through tricks, so everyone must try their best and remember not to trust anyone in the same group during the assessment."

Wang Chao said earnestly.

He has always liked to cheat and cheat, and he has deceived fellow candidates many times. Twice, his enemies came to his door, but it was Guo Wei who helped him deal with it.

"After the archery assessment, there will be a day's rest. During this period, the examiner will select the top ten, and then select the Jieyuan from the ten of them. The method is even simpler. Ten people fight in a melee. Whoever can survive to the end will be the winner. one."

Wang Chao said.

"I heard that the selection of Jieyuan in various places is particularly cruel, and even lives are often lost."

Lin Yuanfu said.

"The top three in each place can go to the Imperial City Academy to study until the examination begins. Once they enter the Imperial City Academy, they are equivalent to becoming warrior warriors. They can pass the palace examination and meet the Holy Emperor. Who wants to miss this opportunity?"

Wang Chao analyzed.

"Imperial City Academy."

Chu Linguang muttered.

Imperial City Academy is the core of Dayuan. Teachers from various academies all come from Imperial City Academy. It is the real palace of martial arts. Chu Linguang had learned about it from Yang Shaorong during their private discussion.

"I heard that people who have practiced in the Imperial City Academy can eventually enter the Imperial City Trial Field, and no matter who they are, they can be reused in the end."

Dawu said enviously.

"The academy and the trial ground are too far away for us. Even if we can't win the ranking this time, or if we can win the ranking next time, it will be a blessing earned in eight lifetimes for our Weiyuan Escort Agency."

Xiao Wu sighed.

"Chu Linguang, you have practiced in the Governor's Mansion Academy and the Northern Trial Field. What Brother Wang said later was actually meant for you alone."

Teng Qingshan sighed.

He, Lin Yuanfu and others all knew that what Wang Chao said had no chance with them, and even Black Tiger couldn't do it.

"The world is still uncertain. You and I are both dark horses. Everyone, our lives have just begun."

Chu Linguang encouraged everyone.

"Yes, man can conquer nature, nothing is impossible."

Hei Hu was encouraged. He had always been more talented than Chu Linguang in the eyes of outsiders, but in the end he was left far behind by Chu Linguang. To say whether he was convinced or not, Hei Hu was naturally not convinced.

"when!"

At this time, there was a sound of gongs.

The whole place went quiet.

"Candidates are in place!"

Wu Feihong walked to the stage and said loudly.

The candidates waiting in the preparation area all pricked up their ears and sat in their seats.

Chu Linguang's spiritual knowledge swept through and found that the number of candidates was more than a thousand, and most of them were candidates who had taken the provincial examination.

In the crowd, a look looked at him.

Chu Linguang felt something and looked towards that person.

That person was none other than Yan Zhen.

At this time, he and Yan Cheng were sitting together. They were dressed simply, their auras were restrained, they were invisible to the crowd, and they were extremely low-key.

Both brothers noticed Chu Linguang and nodded towards Chu Linguang together.

Chu Linguang also nodded to the two of them. Since coming to the Governor's Mansion, he had wanted to see Yan Zhen again many times, but even Yan Chengdu didn't know if Yan Zhen had returned to the Governor's Mansion. He just said that Yan Zhen would be holding a meeting He showed up on the day of the exam, so Chu Linguang had no choice but to give up.

Seeing Yan Zhen again at this moment, Chu Linguang intuitively told him that Yan Zhen seemed to have been reborn and was even more terrifying than when he met him at the border.

It was clear that the other party did not leak his breath, but it put him under tremendous pressure.

"If I hadn't used my spiritual sense to search just now, I wouldn't have been able to find Brother Yan."

Chu Linguang thought to himself.

The power of his sea of ​​consciousness has evolved, and the large cyclone has turned into a small ocean. His perception is so strong that even Yan Zhen cannot compare to it.

But the preparation area was only the size of a small square, but he failed to notice Yan Zhen in advance.

Therefore, this intuition is very close. After the separation of the national border, Yan Zhen will definitely gain a huge harvest. Thinking that the other party's ambition is to reach the third level, Chu Linguang can't help but look forward to it.

It was an honor for him to compete with such a proud man as Yan Zhen.

"A few days ago, Chu Linguang was invited to see the master of the palace. Zhang Yan wanted to spar with him, but he shot him down. He has awakened the gun intention."

Yan Chengdu said with envy and hatred.

"good."

Yan Zhen nodded slightly, his expression calm as usual.

Seeing his expression, Yan Chengdu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Spear spirit is a vital power. When he learned that Chu Linguang defeated Zhang Yan with one shot and used gun spirit, he couldn't help but worry about his brother. Now seeing Yan Zhen's calm expression, he knew he was safe.

"Dear candidates..."

The governor Zhang Tao went up to give a speech. His words were simple and he hoped that everyone would strive to be the best and stand out in this martial arts examination.

After some encouragement.

He retreated to the audience, and then the examiner announced the start of the provincial examination. Chu Linguang noticed that both Feng Junyi and Fan Zhibian were among them.

"Candidates Yan Zhen, Qi Shiwei, Zhang Yang..."

At this time, the examiner signs up, and the strength assessment is conducted in groups of ten, and multiple groups are conducted at the same time. Only those who obtain a B grade can enter the next round, otherwise they will be automatically eliminated.

According to the rules of the rural martial arts test, one wooden stake has [-] kilograms of strength, and breaking three wooden stakes with one punch requires at least [-] kilograms of strength. This happens to be the test of whether a person can awaken the power of the dragon and elephant.

If you can break three wooden stakes, at least they have awakened the power of dragon elephant.

If you want to become a martial artist, the power of dragon and elephant is the foundation.

But Chu Linguang and many others did not expect that Yan Zhen would be the first group of candidates. His name was so famous that the entire Qiling Governor's Mansion was talking about his deeds.

Some people even came from thousands of miles away just to catch a glimpse of his grace. There were even famous prostitutes and beauties who searched for him day and night and would not even think about food and drinks for him.

Compared to Tuoba Yunhong, Yan Zhen is as famous as him, but he has always kept a low profile and rarely appears in public.

At this moment, everyone inside and outside the examination room heard his name appear first. Everyone was shocked and looked at the sandy land with rows of wooden stakes.

Yan Zhen himself was a little surprised. He immediately stood up from the crowd and walked into the sand with a calm expression.

"I was actually paired with Yan Zhen."

Qi Shiwei was particularly excited. He knew that he was far behind Yan Zhen, but being able to compete in the same group as Yan Zhen was worth going back to brag about.

So he trotted into the sand.

Although he met Yan Zhen for the first time, with his eyesight, he could still tell them apart at once. Moreover, Yan Zhen and Yan Cheng were both brothers. They were somewhat similar and it was not difficult to identify them.

"Hello, brother Yan, my name is Qi Shiwei, and I am friends with Chengdu."

Like a little fanboy, he said hello to Yan Zhen.

"Hello, I've heard about you. Fang Tian is good at painting a halberd."

Yan Zhen nodded and replied.

Although his clothes were simple, when people learned his identity now, they still thought he was suave, handsome, and surrounded by an indescribable and impressive arrogance.

No one dared to underestimate him.

Everyone in the team is honored to be able to stand with him.

"Thank you for your praise. I fought against Chengdu. Your Yan family's killing sword skills are so powerful."

Qi Shiwei scratched his head and said.

Yan Zhen nodded with a smile and said nothing.

Qi Shiwei also wisely shut his mouth and began to prepare himself, wanting to show off in front of Yan Zhen.

"start!"

The examiner ordered.

"what!"

When everyone pulls one hair, the whole body is affected.

Qi Shiwei's eyes were shining brightly. Last night, he worked hard to awaken the power of the true dragon. Unfortunately, he had not yet opened the fourth level of the law. But at this moment, in order to achieve good results, he still used all his strength. The power of the true dragon and the power of the sea of ​​air exploded at the same time, punching Hit the stakes lined up in front of you.

"boom!"

The powerful force broke nine wooden piles at the same time, and cracks appeared on the tenth wooden pile.

The wooden piles in front of all candidates are made of the same size and the number is sixteen.

According to the rules of the provincial examination, if you break three strings, you can get a grade of lower grade B, and successfully enter the next round. Four strings are a middle grade B, five strings are a top grade B, six strings are a low grade A, and nine strings are a middle grade A. , and if there are more than ten, it is a first-class top grade.

Qi Shiwei tried his best and achieved very good results.

And everyone's eyes were almost all on Yan Zhen.

It was seen that Yan Zhen did not have any stored energy, but just punched out with a casual punch. The sixteen wooden stakes in front of him exploded at the same time, and the entire wooden stake exploded completely, not broken in the middle or exploded in the middle.

"What a powerful bloodline power!"

Chu Linguang was stunned, Yan Zhen's wild power had become extremely pure, and was also mixed with a special power, which seemed to come from Yan Zhen's bloodline.

He knew that blood could evolve magical powers, and he also knew that Yan Zhen had already evolved magical powers from his blood, but he did not expect that the magical powers that Yan Zhen evolved from his blood contained such a terrifying power.

There is no need to prepare for the attack, as if a single punch can defeat the six layers of Dharma and Qi Power Shield at the same time.

Just terrifying.

Chu Linguang was confident that he could break sixteen wooden stakes at the same time like Yan Zhen, or even blow them up, but he might not be able to do it as cleanly and casually as Yan Zhen did with a single punch.

(Feilong strives not to procrastinate and writes the entire process of the provincial examination in one go. Don’t forget to vote for me!)
