Chapter 18: The Martial Arts Test Begins

Recalling the scene of participating in the martial arts test in previous years, Xing Tian could only smile helplessly.

At that time, I hadn't found the purple gourd, and I hadn't cured the congenital insufficiency, so both the boxing cultivation and physical fitness were far from my peers, so naturally it was normal for me to not be able to pass the first level at that time.

However, this is not what it used to be, and today's Xingtian has already been successfully quenched, and it can be said that it is easy to pass this first hurdle.

Soon, an official in charge of the martial arts test led the crowd participating in the martial arts test to an open field. There are many stone piers on this open ground, which are inlaid with iron rings, these stone piers are of different sizes, the small ones are the size of a human head, weighing as much as 30 catties, and the large ones are the size of a basin, more than a foot high, but they weigh 100 catties.

There are also a few clerks on the side, with tables and stools, pens, ink, paper and inkstones, who are responsible for recording the results of each candidate.

"The first level of the martial arts test is to test the strength, as the so-called martial arts practice first practice, without a certain strength, it is simply wishful thinking to talk about martial arts. After a while, the name came forward, and the weights were thrown, and those who were less than five zhang were eliminated, and those who passed five zhang were judged according to the weight of the stone pier they chose and the distance of the throwing!"

The official in charge of the first level of the assessment said that, but immediately began to arrange the test.

Candidates from more than a dozen nearby villages were divided into five groups and assigned to the front, naturally some of them passed the test easily and threw the stone pier out of the five zhang, while some tried their best to throw it within five zhang and drank hatred and eliminated.

The examiner in charge of this first level sat back in his seat at this moment, took a sip of tea and said secretly: "In previous years, this first level would be brushed down by 20%, but if compared with the next few levels, this first level is very easy, but I don't know how many people can pass the martial arts test this year!"

Thinking of this, the examiner's gaze unconsciously moved to the group of young people in Wajin Village.

This time the martial arts test has not yet started, Wajin Village is out of the limelight, first a waste candidate Xingtian who participated in three consecutive martial arts exams and was eliminated at the first level, and then a Xu Jiang who was valued by Yu Tonghai, an elder of the outer sect of the Hexagram Mountain faction, and will be able to rise to prominence in the future, these two people are from Wajin Village, naturally this Wajin Village is not eye-catching.

"Next, Wajin Village, Xu Jiang!"

The clerk in charge of the record shouted the names on the list, but because Xu Jiang was valued by Elder Yu before, many people looked away.

At this moment, Xu Jiang seemed to have regained his former pride, and walked into the middle of the field, but he shouted, and reached out to grab the stone pier weighing 100 catties.

"Hundred catties of stone piers, unless it is those physiques with innate divine power, only martial artists in the quenching realm can throw five zhang, could it be that this Xu Jiang has successfully quenched his body?"

The official in charge of the first level of the test sat up straight and watched carefully, to be honest, it was not the first time that he was in charge of the first level of the martial arts test, and it was not without candidates who had successfully quenched their bodies, but only one would appear in two or three years. And once the candidates of the quenching realm appear, almost 100% will be cultivated as a treasure in the martial arts sect.

In addition to the test examiners, the surrounding candidates and the martial arts masters in various villages also showed shocked faces, and the next moment, Xu Jiang lifted the stone pier and threw it hard.

The stone pier flew out, fell six feet away, and smashed to the ground.

"100 catties of stone piers, six zhang distance, excellent grades!" The clerk who was in charge of recording the results was also stunned, and it was the first time he saw that a candidate could throw a hundred catties of stone piers beyond five zhang.

It's just surprise that he is surprised, he also saw that this candidate named Xu Jiang was valued by Elder Yu of the Guashan Sect before, Elder Yu was a real master in his eyes, and it was reasonable to be able to be released by this kind of master to be included in the disciples.

So Xu Jiang walked towards the venue where the second level test was located in the eyes of everyone's surprise and envy.

The martial arts test continued, and Lu Meng also threw the fifty-pound stone pier out of the five zhang away after that, and passed the first level with a medium assessment.

"Next, Wajin Village, Xingtian!"

Mr. Clerk shouted, and Xingtian also walked out in front of the eyes of many people.

Previously, because of Duan Ming's provocation in Changqiao Village, Xing Tian was eliminated in the first level of the martial arts test for three consecutive years, and it was also known to everyone, so as soon as he appeared, he also attracted great attention, and his degree was no less than that of Xu Jiang.

This is people's weird heart, always like to see others worse than themselves, it seems that when they see people who are worse than themselves, they will spontaneously have a sense of superiority.

"Look, it's this shit!"

"Poor, he should be almost fifteen years old, so this year is his last chance, if he can't pass the martial arts test, he can only go home to farm, and die in the fields. ”

"Yes, that Xu Jiang just now is indeed extraordinary, and he came from a village, but this Xingtian is much worse than the other party!"

That Duan Ming in Changqiao Village has just passed the first test at this moment, and like Lu Meng, he chose a fifty-pound stone pier, but he threw it seven zhang away, and his results were excellent.

Seeing Xingtian on the field, he stopped and watched, sneering, as if he wanted to see how the other party made a fool of himself.

Seeing Xingtian walk over directly, he stopped in front of the smallest stone pier, that is, the thirty catties of stone pier, and this move naturally attracted a burst of harsh ridicule and ridicule. However, for this kind of questioning, Xingtian had heard too much before, and he was not moved at all.

Looking at the thirty-pound stone pier in front of him, Xing Tian's mind came up with the experience of the past three years, three times in a row, he had returned from this first level, and he had never thrown this thirty-pound stone pier out of five zhang.

Originally, with his current strength, it was more than enough to choose a hundred catties of stone piers, but these thirty catties of stone piers had another meaning for him.

That's a shame!

For three years, it was this thirty-pound stone pier that blocked Xingtian's footsteps, and many ridicules, humiliations and despair originated from this stone pier.

And today is the time to wash away the shame.

"Did you choose a thirty-pound stone pier? This kid is self-aware, but it's a pity that even if it's a thirty-pound stone pier, it's not easy to throw it five feet away!" said a black-bearded man watching from the sidelines.

"Not necessarily, I think he can make it!" a voice sounded beside him.

The black-bearded man was Wu Tiande, he turned his head to look, and he found that the blue-shirted man who had bet with him before had appeared again, but he smiled and said, "It turned out to be Brother Qu, what's the matter, we didn't make a bet before, why don't we continue?"

"That's what I mean!" The man in the blue shirt was obviously also interested, so the two of them really took out a silver ticket each, and then set their eyes on the field.

At this moment, Xingtian reached out and grabbed the iron ring of the thirty-pound stone pier, but he rounded his arm and threw the stone pier out.

I didn't drink heavily, I didn't need to move my muscles and bones, and I grabbed it and threw it away, as if it was not a stone pier, but a sandbag.

Sou!

The stone pier was thrown high, crossed a curve, and then slammed into the ground, where it was already outside.

The audience was instantly silent.

The stone pier was thrown thirty feet away.

The clerk who recorded the results was about to pick up the pen and dip it in ink, but he was stunned when he saw the stone pier that flew out more than 30 feet, so that the ink dripped down the tip of the pen and fell onto the paper. And the official in charge of the first level also stood on the spot with a teacup, looking at the stone pier that was thrown out of the field, his mind didn't turn a corner for a long time, and even these two people reacted like this, not to mention everyone in the field.

"Is there any mistake, could it be that the stone pier is hollow?" one of them cried out.

For a while, there was a lot of discussion in the audience, and the expressions on almost everyone's faces were extremely weird, no wonder, it was originally to see others make a fool of themselves, but the other party showed unexpected excellence, under this gap, unless it is an extremely experienced person, it is difficult to suppress the twitching muscles on the face.

"Fake, it must be fake, even if it is a thirty-pound stone pier, it is impossible to be thrown so far, unless this kid is a martial artist in the Quenching Body Realm......" The black-bearded man Wu Tiande was dumbfounded, his eyes almost bulging out, but he also knew that the martial arts test was a big deal, how could he be fake?

However, the blue-shirted man next to him laughed and took out the other party's silver ticket: "Yesterday, I calculated that I would make a small fortune today, and sure enough, thank you!"

Wu Tiande was annoyed, and just wanted to turn around and scold, but found that there was still the figure of the man in the blue shirt behind him.

But he didn't know that the blue-shirted man moved his feet while speaking, and moved out of the crowd with an extremely exquisite footwork, and many people only felt a gust of wind, but they couldn't see the blue-shirted man's figure at all.

Outside the crowd, the blue-shirted man looked at Xingtian in the distance, but muttered: "I made a hexagram in the mountains a month ago, saying that I could receive a good disciple in the martial arts test this time, and now it seems that it is true, it is really a piece of jade, but it is not in vain that I personally went down the mountain, but there are still a few twists and turns in the hexagram, but someone needs to resolve it......"

Thirty catties of stone piers were thrown out of thirty zhang, and this achievement directly caused a sensation.

Since the martial arts test was held in Wumen Town, no one has ever been able to throw the stone pier out of 30 zhang, which is a distance of 100 meters, which is because those strong candidates will choose 50 catties, 80 catties and 100 catties of stone piers, which will still choose 30 catties of stone piers like Xingtian.

In the end, Mr. Clerk discussed with the official in charge of the first level for a while, and gave Xingtian an 'excellent' evaluation.

When Xing Tian stood in the second level test venue like the other candidates who passed the first level, no one dared to underestimate him anymore.
