Chapter 22: The Martial Arts Examination
Sorry for the late update, my daughter was sick and went to hang water in the morning, first send a change, there are two more in the afternoon and evening, just ask for recommended ticket support, thank you!
――――――――――――――――――
Two days later, the Templar of the City of Learning.
The Templar's Rank Martial Arts Examination is held once a year, and all samurai can participate in the examination, not just the young samurai who study in the Templar. Those adventurers, mercenary groups, and wanderer warriors can also participate as long as they spend a sum of money, and as long as they pass the exam, they will receive the samurai badge issued by the Templar.
Due to the extremely high authority of the surname, the martial ranks that passed the temple assessment were recognized by all mainland countries, which can be said to be extremely valuable, so there were quite a lot of foreign warriors who came to the temple that day, and you must know that the difference in martial ranks determines their role and treatment in the team in many cases, and also affects the perception of the employer.
The Martial Arts Examination was arranged in the hall on the first floor of the largest building of the Holy Hall, and when Han Fei arrived, there were almost hundreds of people inside, in addition to the samurai who were in charge of the assessment and participation, there were also many people who were allowed to watch.
Han Mutian, the second aunt Denilia and Carol are among them, the last time Han Fei was certified as a warrior, Han Mutian did not participate in it has always been a pity, if Han Fei succeeds in the promotion martial arts test this time, then it is bound to create a new record for the Xishui City Holy Hall, how could Han Mutian miss such a glorious thing?
In fact, the teaching warriors of the Templar were also very surprised that Han Fei had signed up for the advanced martial arts test, because Han Fei had been a samurai for a short time, and there seemed to be only a first-order gap between first-order martial artists and second-order martial artists, but each level contained three levels: primary, advanced, and top-level, and the vast majority of samurai were promoted step by step to complete breakthroughs, how could there be a reason to directly enter the second order from the first order in a month.
Among the young samurai currently studying in the Sanctuary, Xia Ya, the most talented, also took a year to be promoted to a second-order martial artist.
What also made teaching warriors uncomfortable was that Han Fei almost never asked them for martial arts or fighting skills, you must know that teaching apprentices is a fee, and it is also one of their main sources of income, although he knows that Han Fei has his own martial arts instructor, but if everyone is as economical as him, then the dozen or so teaching warriors in the Holy Hall will really have to drink the northwest wind.
However, as long as Han Fei paid the fee, even if he only became a first-order martial artist yesterday, there would be no problem.
Now in the martial arts test hall, there is a second-order mercenary warrior conducting the third-order promotion test, and the person in charge of the assessment is the third-order martial artist of the temple, and the battle between the two sides has entered the most critical time, and the roar of the mercenary when he releases his fighting skills can be clearly heard even through the barrier of the spiritual magic array.
The duel between the warriors with fighting spirit is fierce and cruel, often within a few moves to see life and death, if you don't fight with all your might, you can't reflect the real combat power, the same is true of the Templar's promotion martial arts test, but no matter how fierce the two sides of the battle are, it is extremely difficult to endanger life.
Because there is a special martial spirit limited magic circle in the hall martial arts test field of hundreds of square meters, as long as you enter the magic circle, the warrior's fighting strength will be greatly limited.
The limited martial spirit magic array is known as the first spirit magic array in the Nine Heavens Continent, it is said that it was created thousands of years ago, the strongest spirit mage under the command of the Night Martial Emperor, Morgan, and played an extremely key role in dealing with the powerful demon army of the demon race.
The size of the limited martial spirit circle can be arranged as needed, the larger the circle, the higher the level of the spirit crystal used by the array eye, the greater the restriction on the samurai, and the strongest limited martial spirit array can completely suppress the samurai below the eighth order.
In addition to the Sanctuary, there are powerful martial spirit arrays in many important places such as the mansions of wealthy nobles, royal palaces, and treasury.
Of course, the Martial Spirit Restriction Array in the Xishui City Sanctuary is not so powerful, and it can only have a restrictive effect on warriors below the fourth order, because it originally only provides the assessment and certification of second-order martial artists and third-order martial artists, if it is a fourth-order earth warrior, then it has to go to the royal capital holy hall of the Minglan Kingdom.
Entering the limited martial spirit array, the samurai can also display fighting spirit and fighting skills, but the power is greatly weakened, but because the assessment of both sides is limited, the duel in the magic circle can also fully reflect the true combat power of both sides.
In addition, the samurai who participated in the assessment and the samurai in charge of the assessment were not allowed to use spirit weapons, and they used ordinary weapons that did not open the front, and they also wore protective inner armor, and there were arbiter samurai and healing spirit mages and pharmacists outside the field, ensuring the safety of both parties as much as possible.
The operation of the Martial Spirit Circle needs to be supported by spirit crystals, and there are people who need to be responsible for the assessment, so although the Holy Church's fees are expensive, it is not completely unreasonable.
In order to participate in this promotion martial arts test, Han Fei paid a full fee of thirty gold coins, which was still the result of the discount.
Thirty or forty gold coins was not a small amount for a mercenary, so the challenger in the field was still desperately resisting and not giving up, despite being stumbled and embarrassed by the fierce attacks of the Templars.
According to the rules of the Advancement Test, a challenger must defeat a Templar or remain undefeated for 10 minutes to pass the Templar Warrior.
Don't look at it for a long time, the Templar in charge of the assessment will go all out against any challenger, even the samurai and apprentices trained by the Templar itself, because this is related to the honor and authority of the Templar, and there are two arbiter warriors outside the venue who strictly supervise it.
"Drink!" The Templar in the field suddenly swung his heavy sword in his hand, and a pale cyan wind blade roared out, hitting the chest of the staggering mercenary warrior who staggered back!
The mercenary warrior snorted, and the samurai suit on his chest was torn by the air blade to reveal the inner armor inside, and his whole body was directly knocked away and hit the magic circle barrier behind him and bounced to the ground.
Before he could get to his feet, the rushing Templar had already rested his heavy sword on his shoulder, and the hourglass placed on the sidelines had only lost just over half of the sand.
The mercenary warrior got up from the ground with a dead face, he was not young, and a defeat was a heavy blow to both confidence and money.
The Martial Spirit Circle slowly closed, and the Templar comforted the loser before they both walked out of the arena.
"Challenger Han Fei, second-order martial artist advanced to the martial arts test, person in charge of the assessment Kan Daisi, second-order Templar Warrior!"
At this time, Han Fei heard his name, and it was his turn after the previous mercenary warrior assessment was over.
"Son, it's up to you!" Han Mutian patted Han Fei's shoulder vigorously and encouraged, "You will definitely succeed!"
Han Fei, who had just changed into the inner armor, nodded, and under the gaze of everyone, he entered the martial arts test ground proudly.
