"Now, the selection has officially begun!"

Tao Zi'an's voice echoed in the courtyard, and hundreds of teenagers wearing cloth or brocade clothes looked upright, and their hearts were even more nervous and excited.

Although Tao Zi'an said that there is more than one path in life, he can still be proud of the title of the gold list of studying and participating in the imperial examination.

But they all came to be selected by the martial arts hall to teach the martial arts method and become a martial artist, and no one wanted to be denied their qualifications if they were not selected, so they could only abandon martial arts.

Some of these smart teenagers even knew that what Tao Zi'an said was just a beautiful scene.

In his words, he mentioned several powerful warriors, and when he saw the city lord of Shangjiang City, who was powerless, he had to pay respects and even bow down.

But it was not so much that they saluted the person who was the lord of Shangjiang City, but that they were saluting the court behind the lord of Shangjiang City.

As the lord of a city, the lord of Shangjiang City controls all the military and political powers of Shangjiang City, and governs the land within a radius of 100 miles near Shangjiang City.

But these are all given by the imperial court, and since the imperial court can give it, it can naturally take it back.

The imperial court only needs a piece of paper, and it can make the lord of Shangjiang City change from the lord of a high city to an ordinary person who no longer has an official position.

At that time, several martial arts hall owners were still in a transcendent position, but the city lords of Shangjiang City were no longer in power, and if they met again, I believe it would be a different scene.

Similarly, if the imperial court also dismissed Guan Hao from the post of Xuanwu Lieutenant and made him a commoner, several martial arts hall owners would still have to salute Guan Hao when they saw him.

Because in addition to Guan Hao's position as the commander of Xuanwu, he is also a martial artist with the same strength as several martial arts hall owners, which cannot be taken away by a single document from the imperial court.

The power of the warrior and the status of the warrior come from the fists of the warrior and the strength of the warrior.

And this strong strength is cultivated by a martial artist over the years, and if it is not given by others, it is naturally impossible to be taken away by others.

Whether to choose the power and status that is time-sensitive and can be taken away at any time by others, or the power and status that can never be taken away because of one's own strong strength.

The answer to this question is obvious.

They want to be warriors, powerful warriors.

To achieve this goal, the first step is to pass the screening and become a new disciple of Aoki Martial Arts.

Tao Zi'an led everyone to the left side of the courtyard, where there was a row of wooden stakes slightly above the ground, more than ten steps away.

"One person has two chances, and I want you to pass through the stake within ten breaths. Tao Zi'an said.

It is not an easy task to pass a wooden stake a dozen steps away in ten breaths.

Everyone lined up in a long queue in the courtyard, and one by one they jumped on the stake with a nervous look under Tao Zi'an's gaze, and ran to the end of the stake under their feet.

Some people are in steady shape, one passes, some people stumble in the air, and both times they fall off the stake.

Tao Zi'an looked serious and divided everyone into three groups, one group of people did not meet his requirements, one group of people met his requirements but were not outstanding, and one group of people met his requirements and performed well.

Li Qiu stood in the middle of the team and observed everything, feeling that things were not so simple.

There were a few people who did well through a stake in ten breaths at a time, and they were not placed in the third group.

In addition to meeting Tao Zi'an's requirements and performing well, the people in the third group also have one thing in common, that is, their feet are extremely stable, and they have obviously practiced martial arts......

"Next ......," Tao Zi'an repeated.

Li Qiu's eyes moved and jumped onto the wooden stake, his body was not stable but his steps were extremely fast, and he quickly passed the wooden stake.

Tao Zi'an's eyes lit up, but the expression on his face did not change much, and he stretched out his hand and pointed to the second group.

Li Qiu walked to the second group and stood still, confirming the guess in his heart.

After everyone walked past the stake, Tao Zi'an turned to look at everyone, and finally his gaze stayed on the third group.

Being watched by Tao Zi'an, most of the people in the third group looked excited, and there was a hint of pride between their eyebrows.

They passed the stake with the best performance, and even if they don't perform so well in the later tests, I believe that their performance in this level will give them more chances to pass the screening than others.

There are a few people who are different from the others, and they look a little apprehensive, and they also see some clues in Tao Zi'an's grouping, and it doesn't seem like a good thing to be assigned to the third group.

Tao Zi'an looked at the people in the third group, clicked his fingers a few times, and pointed out some of the people individually, that is, more than a dozen people were the best performers in the third group.

"Except for a few of them, the rest of you have been eliminated, go home. ”

Most of the people in the third group looked stunned, shouldn't this sentence be said to the first group who did not pass the stake within the allotted time?

If you want to eliminate them, you can't take the turn of the best performers, right?

There were also some people who looked uneasy and looked evasive, as if they vaguely guessed the cause of this abnormal situation.

The small group of people who were ordered by Tao Zi'an, although they didn't quite understand what was going on at this time, hurriedly stayed away from the third group.

Most of the people in the first and second groups looked a little nervous and flustered, and looked at Tao Zi'an in confusion.

Could it be that this time the Aoki Martial Arts Hall recruited new disciples and only recruited the dozen or so people who were ordered by him?

Tao Zi'an said slowly: "You people are different from others, all of you have practiced martial arts to pass through the stake so quickly. ”

"And at this age, if you have practiced martial arts, you can't pass the stake within six breaths, which is enough to prove that your qualifications are not good. ”

"You've been eliminated, go home. ”

Tao Zi'an repeated again.

"No, it's not fair!"

"I've actually only been practicing martial arts for less than three months!"

"I've only been practicing martial arts for less than a month, and my qualifications are not bad!"

Hearing Tao Zi'an's explanation, some people's eyes were gloomy and their bodies were stiff like falling into an ice cave, and they were actually eliminated.

Some of them looked aggrieved, as if they had been greatly wronged, and began to shout that they had not been practicing martial arts for a long time.

The other people's eyes moved, and they also shouted one after another, and those who were eliminated soon all claimed that they had just started practicing martial arts not long ago, and the scene was a little chaotic for a while.

Tao Zi'an's eyes were cold, and he said in a low voice.

"Shut it all up!"

A terrifying aura was released from his body, and the hearts of the shouting people were shocked and oppressed, and their expressions were shocked and their eyes were closed in fear.

The courtyard becomes silent when it is neutral.

Li Qiu's eyes moved slightly, this was very similar to the method that Wang Bochao used to release his momentum on him that day, wanting to suppress his mind and affect his strength, it seems that he can learn this method from the Aoki Martial Arts Pavilion.

It's just that I don't know if I can be taught this method by Aoki Martial Arts Hall just because I become a disciple of the Tao.

Tao Zi'an looked at those humanity coldly.

"I know that some of you may not have been practicing martial arts for long, but I'm sorry that you can only consider yourself unlucky. ”

"If you want to become a strong martial artist, luck is also important. ”

"And you're obviously out of luck......"
