Chapter 401: The Opening
Although the Great Zhou National Test has undergone reforms, the third martial arts test, as the last and most important battle link, the rules are quite simple and clear, and easy to understand.
In the first eight years of the Great Zhou Dynasty, a total of 120 candidates were qualified to participate in the martial arts examination.
Among them, a total of 12 candidates who have won the first place in the county examination in the past three years have byes in the first round, and the remaining 108 people play against each other, and the winner and those twelve candidates enter the next round, and then enter the two-by-one battle again until the last person fights.
The criteria for judging the winner and the first round are the same as the county test, with one person admitting defeat or one person not being able to get up again, and the time is strictly limited for each game, only one stick of incense, and both people are eliminated on the field after overtime.
In the second round, there is no longer a time limit, and each battle is fought to the end, and there is no end to the winner.
In previous years, most of the candidates who could enter the second round had the opportunity to enter the examination, but this year, the number of places in the examination is particularly small, and if the first round is not eliminated at the same time, there will be 66 people entering the second round.
Even if you enter the second round, there is no guarantee that you will be able to enter the examination.
As for the order of the martial arts test, the first round is all draws, and the second round can also be drawn, but there is one more option, that is, in addition to the lottery, candidates can also choose to challenge any of the twelve people who had a bye in the first round.
And those 12 people can't refuse, otherwise they will be deemed to have abandoned the exam, and the opponent will advance to the next round on their own.
This rule was the only adjustment made by the queen of heaven to the third game of the martial arts test that year.
That person is really on the verge of always being on the verge of making trouble.
Zhu Luan listened to the examiner's introduction expressionlessly and thought in his heart.
Of course, the twelve people who had byes in the first round were all the heads of the county exams, and ordinary candidates would not choose to challenge them without their might.
Unless some candidates feel that the results of someone's county test are not realistic, and they want to pick a soft persimmon and pinch it.
Each candidate is already familiar with these rules, and after the examiner finishes speaking, the candidates start to talk about themselves.
Zhu Luan always felt that there was a gaze on him.
But before she could think about it, the big bell hanging on the stage was struck.
With a loud bell, the last battle of the Huizhou Fuxiang test in the eighth year of the Great Zhou Dynasty officially began.
When the bell rang, the official first read out the names of the twelve people in a loud voice, which were the twelve people who had a bye in the first round.
All the candidates looked at these people who walked out of the crowd with envy and reverence.
The first name I read was Duan Lizheng. He was the head of Xiuning County in the sixth year of the early years, and when he walked out, the crowd even burst into applause.
Then some strange students appeared, and some of them were the heads of other counties.
And when Zhu Luan's name was read, the crowd was silent for a moment.
Xiuning County is the most populous county in Huizhou, and the government is also located here, with a cloud of talents, and the significance of its head is extraordinary.
Although I had heard it before, when the slender girl walked out of the crowd with a large bundle of swords, the candidates from his county were still shocked.
For the first time, many people realize that this woman is really different from them.
It's not that the gender is different, but the level is different at the beginning of the martial arts test.
These two differences are mixed together, and it really makes people feel complicated.
Then Nian Huazang was also called that he was the head of the case in the seventh year of Zaichu.
After all the twelve people walked out, the officials put out the lottery box in front of the high platform, and the others stepped forward to draw lots, and the number of the lottery was connected to each other as a group, and the group was in the order of the battle in numerical order.
After everyone had finished drawing, the candidates who had drawn No. 1 and No. 2 walked into the big formation under the leadership of the examiner and climbed to the high platform.
On the stage, there is a military attache from the Shendu, and there is a higher viewing platform dozens of feet away from the stage, where the division commander of Ziyang Academy usually observes the students' battles.
Today, the observation deck set up in the middle of the mountain has been completely under martial law, and Princess Fang Bonian, Princess Jinyang, the captain of the Black Armor Guard, and other officials are all there.
"This is where it begins." Fang Bonian looked at the captain of the black armor guard beside him, "I'm really embarrassed to call you here." ”
Only a pair of eyes appeared under the black armor's face armor, and he bowed slightly, "It's okay." ”
"The main reason is that this year is extraordinary, and there are cultivators who have ascended to the Extreme Realm among the candidates," Fang Bonian stroked his long beard and looked at a tall military general sitting next to Princess Jinyang, "I heard Lord Du say that there are still cultivators who have ascended to the Extreme Realm to take care of it." ”
"It's only the middle stage of ascending to the pole," Mu Xin said lightly, "It's far from Master Du in the realm." ”
Princess Jinyang glanced at the military general beside her who had only arrived in Huizhou last night.
He didn't wear armor, just an ordinary white robe, but anyone who saw him would know that he was a military general.
Eight feet long, dragon and phoenix, civil and wood-shaped, and majestic.
Wen has Haochu, Wu has Haoqian.
This is the national examination list that was as famous as Duan Haochu that year, Du Haoqian.
Because of the top three in the national examination that year, only Duan Haochu and Du Haoqian were the youngest, and one was handsome and the other was heroic.
Now that ten years have passed, the young people of that year have reached the age of standing, and after a hundred battles, their bodies are more powerful, and they can feel the momentum just sitting there.
"Where." Du Haoqian spoke, "Although he is a half-step grandmaster, he can't compare with Captain Mu in terms of military merits and achievements. ”
He looked at Mu Xin, "If you talk about actual combat experience, I'm afraid that no one in the entire Huizhou is richer than Captain Mu now." ”
There was a moment of silence on the observation deck.
Du Haoqian was stunned, he was just an ordinary compliment, it was indeed his sincere words, but after speaking, the man in front of him seemed to be stunned for some reason.
The black armor guard's gaze looked through the mask armor and looked at the martial arts platform not far away, Du Haoqian unconsciously followed his line of sight, and found that Mu Xin's line of sight was not in the stands, but under the stands.
There were too many people in the audience, and before he could identify who this person was looking at, Mu Xin was speaking again.
"Where, Master Du has won the prize." The man's voice was as dry as ever.
Du Haoqian smiled when he heard this, but he still couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this person's temperament was still as strange as ever.
Rewards and beauties are not interested in either.,Just blindly fight and kill the enemy.,It's also one of the most difficult people to win over in the black armor.。
At this moment, a bell rang again from the side of the stage.
The first battle is over.
"It's really fast," Fang Bonian sighed, picking up the clairvoyance in his hand, but when he looked over, he saw that his eyes were full of red, and the bluffing old man put it down again.
Candidate No. 1 stepped off the platform, his face pale, and his shirt was covered with blood, while Candidate No. 2 failed to step off the stage and was carried away directly from behind.
That's a bad start.
The atmosphere in the audience became a little depressing, and the candidates became more and more nervous.
