In fact, what Ling Tao asked the villagers to prepare was not a good thing, but after learning that there was a stonemason in the village, he asked him to help chisel a few stone locks, yes, Ling Tao wanted to test his strength with this kind of thing.

Two days ago, Ling Tao found the stonemason and said his request, and the other party confidently told Ling Tao that there was no problem, and he could get it done in a few days, and he was satisfied.

"Mr. Ling, you're here, haha, I've prepared everything you want, are you satisfied?" the stonemason was a short, stocky and cheerful man, and said with a smile after seeing Ling Tao.

"Brother Zhou Gui has worked hard", Ling Tao nodded and said, he has always had a respectful attitude towards craftsmen, after all, people use their hands to create zào things, this is craftsmanship, and it can also be said to be the inheritance of civilization.

In today's era when all kinds of crafts have been replaced by industrial goods, it is rare for craftsmen to retain their ancient crafts.

"Mr. Ling, according to your request, with the scale you brought back, I have made a total of ten stone locks, which are fifty catties, eighty catties, one hundred catties, one hundred and twenty catties, one hundred and forty catties, one hundred and sixty catties, one hundred and eighty catties, two hundred catties, two hundred and thirty catties and two hundred and sixty catties, I am thinking about getting some heavier ones, but now I only make so many of them, do you see that you are still satisfied", Zhou Gui patted his head and pointed to a row of stone locks on the side and said.

Following the direction of his finger, sure enough, a row of stone locks made of bluestone were placed on the side, from small to large, although slightly rough, but it looked pleasing to the eye.

These stone locks were all weighed with the scales that Ling Tao and the others found from the villagers' homes, and the weight may be a little surprising, but they are not big at first, and they can fully meet Ling Tao's requirements when used to test their strength.

"Satisfied, satisfied, it's really good, thank you Brother Zhou Gui", Ling Tao walked to the edge of the stone lock, looked at this, looked at that, and nodded again and again.

"Haha, it's good to be satisfied, it's good to be satisfied, by the way, Mr. Ling, I, Zhou Gui, am a rough person, I can probably guess some of your intentions for letting me get these stone locks, can you let me see your strength now", Zhou Gui looked at Ling Tao expectantly and said.

Even Mrs. Zhou on the side looked at Ling Tao, wanting to see how much strength this descendant who had brought him too many surprises was.

"Hehe, what's this, just right, I'll see if I can lift a variety of stone locks", Ling Tao said, and didn't refuse, this is not an unsightly thing, it doesn't hurt to show them.

Then, under the expectant gaze of Zhou Gui and Zhou Taigong, Ling Tao put the broadsword that he would not leave when he went out on the side, and came in front of a row of stone locks.

After looking at it, he first tried the lightest fifty-pound stone lock, lifted it easily, and then held it high above his head, although it was full of weight, he didn't feel it hard at all.

"Okay, these fifty catties of stone locks, although there are many villagers who can lift them, but they can't find a few as easy as Brother Ling, and sure enough, the hero is a young man", Zhou Taigong looked at the old man and said with great relief on the side.

Ling Tao smiled and didn't say anything, put down the fifty-pound stone lock, directly crossed the eighty-pound one, stretched out his right hand and grabbed the hundred-pound stone lock, and then forced his waist, and gently heyed, the hundred-pound stone lock was lifted up by him with one hand, and with a flip of his arm, he held the hundred-pound stone lock high above his head, as if it had taken root under his feet, and he didn't move.

"Good ......", I don't know when, a large circle of villagers gathered on the side, and when they saw Ling Tao lightly lifting a hundred catties of stone locks, they immediately let out a burst of cheers.

Ling Tao smiled and didn't say anything, he could feel that although a hundred catties of stone locks were very important to him, he didn't feel that it was difficult, this was far from his limit.

Then, he tried one hundred and forty pounds again, and lifted it lightly, feeling a little difficult, putting down one hundred and forty pounds, he directly tried one hundred and eighty pounds, exhaled and opened his voice, and lifted it up, lifting the stone lock of one hundred and eighty pounds, although Ling Tao felt that it was difficult, but his body was not moving at all, as if his feet had taken root.

Ling Tao lifted a hundred catties of stone locks, and the villagers applauded, and the villagers applauded for one hundred and forty catties of stone locks, but after he lifted one hundred and eighty catties of stone locks, the villagers stopped talking, and they all looked at him like monsters.

Putting down the one hundred and eighty jin stone lock, Ling Tao breathed a sigh of relief, and then, his eyes were on the two hundred jin stone lock, his eyes flashed with excitement, and he lifted the two hundred jin stone lock, which meant that he stepped into the threshold of a first-order warrior, if he could hold on for half an hour, he would have stepped into the strength of the first-order warrior level with half a foot, as long as the speed reached the average speed of one hundred meters and eight seconds, he could be completely promoted to a first-order warrior.

Then, under the incredible gaze of the villagers, he walked up to the two-hundred-pound stone lock, was silent for a moment, and stretched out his right hand to grab the handle of the stone lock.

"Drink ......", Ling Tao exhaled, his feet on the ground like an old tree taking root, his waist was forced, his arm shook, and he lifted the two-hundred-pound stone lock, and then shouted softly again, his arm, the two-hundred-pound stone lock, was lifted by him!

In such a picture, the villagers were silent for a while, and then burst into earth-shattering applause, they really didn't expect that Ling Tao, who didn't look strong, could actually lift a two-hundred-pound stone lock with one hand, which was really shocking to them.

Different from the admiring eyes of the men, the big girls and little daughters-in-law in the village, after seeing Ling Tao so 'mighty', their eyes were full of brilliance, women worship the strong, because the strong will bring them a sense of security, at this time, if Ling Tao wants to do something to those big girls and little daughters-in-law, it really shouldn't be too easy.......

It's a pity that Ling Tao didn't pay attention to their eyes at all, he lifted the two-hundred-pound stone lock, and he didn't lift it down like before, but kept holding it with his right hand like this, wanting to see how long he could hold on and how far he was from a first-order warrior.

It is not difficult to lift heavy objects simply, but the difficult thing is to lift for a long time, not to mention the case of one-handedness, which is even more difficult, and lifting two hundred catties of things with one hand is the standard of first-order soldiers, which is why there are only about 5,000 first-order soldiers among the millions of soldiers in the entire China.

The so-called learned literature and martial arts and sold goods to the emperor's family, the elites selected from the thousands of armies can already be called the vast majority of the elites in the entire China, which shows how difficult it is to silence the first-order warriors.

Don't look at those international weightlifting champions who can gather hundreds of kilograms of barbells, but it is a two-handed lift, and it only lifts for a few seconds and then puts it down, so that they can lift 200 pounds with one hand for half an hour, I'm afraid there are few people who can do it at all.

Sports competitions are just performances, and really capable people disdain to be monkeys for others, such as Ip Man, Huo Yuanjia, Chen Zhen and others in history, if it weren't for the time when the country was ruined, how could they go to the arena to fight to the death?

Getting back to the point, Ling Tao lifted the stone lock of two hundred catties with one hand, at first he just felt a little struggling, and he didn't feel anything, but as time passed, the consumption of the body became more and more difficult, five minutes later, his forehead began to sweat, ten minutes later, the whole body sweated like a spring, thirteen minutes, his face began to turn red, fifteen minutes, his arms began to tremble and shake, eighteen minutes, his legs began to tremble, the feeling of soreness and tingling all over his body made him want to throw away the stone lock in his hand, but he was still gritting his teeth and insisting, I want to see how far I am from a first-order warrior.

His situation made the surrounding villagers tremble, if the stone lock Ling Tao, which was bigger than the grinding plate, couldn't lift it and fall, I was afraid that it would smash his head!

But Ling Tao didn't speak, they could only watch, and the more they watched, the more surprised they became, and they already regarded Ling Tao as a monster in their hearts.

After about twenty-five minutes, Ling Tao couldn't hold on any longer, gritted his teeth and pushed hard, the stone lock shook upward, he took the opportunity to take a step back, put the stone lock down, and smashed it on the ground with a loud bang, the ground shook, but it scared the surrounding villagers.

Then, the villagers who reflected it applauded loudly, and their excited slaps were about to turn red.

"I have lasted about twenty-five minutes, there is still a certain gap from the strength standard of a first-order warrior, but it is also fast, and I will soon be able to reach this standard, with my current strength, it is not difficult to grab a stone lock of two hundred catties, it is rare to hold on for a long time, in fact, if you simply want to grab the stone lock, I am afraid that I can lift three hundred catties now, but I can't hold on for a moment at all, the load on the body is too great", Ling Tao said secretly in his heart while gasping.

Probably knowing what level of his strength is, he has a little bottom in his heart, and he has a clearer understanding of his next actions.

After thinking about it, Ling Tao frowned, and said secretly in his heart: "When Uncle Yu explained it at the beginning, he didn't explain it clearly, the strength of a warrior of this level, is it the left hand to raise two hundred catties for half an hour or the right hand?" Could it be that both hands must meet this standard in order to be called a first-order warrior? In this way, I'm afraid I'm still close to a first-order warrior, no matter what, the next two hands have to practice to the point of lifting two hundred catties of stone locks, in this way, it's a proper first-order warrior's strength standard, right? Such a group must be right ......".

Not to mention that the lack of clarity when the information is transmitted is the most tricky, at that time, when Uncle Yu explained the standard system ......of Ling Tao and Wang Jun's first-order warriors, he didn't say it very clearly, he just made a general introduction, so that Ling Tao is now in a predicament, but this is a good thing for Ling Tao.
