"Whose kid is that, is it really unlearned and unskilled, and he can't answer a single question?"

"I look familiar......

"Come on, old grandson, you are a good seller, what candidates can you know, these are all hopeful candidates to compete in the inner court, you won't talk about your cousin's niece's husband's brother, the outer court disciple, right? I heard that he was good at playing with mud before entering the outer courtyard hahahahaha......"

"The outer courtyard is also a school palace, can you do it, besides, it's not playing with mud, it's a porcelain drawing, vulgar ......"

"Hahahaha......"

Such discussions about Wei Feng are difficult to count in the mouths of the onlookers, who made him the first to hand in the papers, the first is always extraordinarily topical.

Wei Feng had already followed the sign to a shooting range, which was the test venue for the third subject.

There are several wooden racks placed on the side of the shooting range, on which either bows or quivers are placed, and each arrow is a standard of thirty arrows, which can be taken by the candidates.

Wei Feng was the first to arrive, and at this time all the bows on the wooden frame were neatly placed, twenty-five horizontal and four, a total of one hundred, all of which were standard longbows in the army.

He took one of them and tested the strength of the bow, and then took out two more arrows, and then came to the baseline of the examination venue.

The archery test is divided into two parts, one is a static target, the other is a dynamic target, each is limited to the use of one arrow, the more hits, the higher the score, the total time limit of the exam is two quarters of an hour.

Wei Feng went to the static shooting range first, he stood still in front of the baseline, did not rush to start the exam, first observed the examination room, and thought quickly in his mind.

The static targets are set at a distance of 10 zhang, 20 zhang, 30 zhang, 50 zhang and 100 zhang from the reference line.

The intensity of the archery test is actually very high, and it is necessary to draw the bow at least sixty times, and an untrained ordinary person will be exhausted after twenty or thirty times of drawing the bow, let alone aiming and shooting.

Wei Feng had made a cursory observation before entering the exam, most of the imperial examinations had not been specially trained, so it was difficult for them to complete the archery exam.

Also, there is no rule in the rules about which target candidates must shoot, but when you see the setting of this test room, you can understand that in order to score higher, you must hit as far as possible.

However, the rules only say that the more you hit the target, the higher the score, then the candidate has to do what he can, and the 20 zhang target is definitely not as high as the 10 zhang target.

The whole exam process is designed to tell candidates everywhere that they need to make their own trade-offs.

Quickly converging his thoughts, Wei Feng had already figured out what he was going to do, he signaled to the examiner that he was ready, and the examiner tapped the gong beside him to signal that he could start.

Wei Feng put a barrel of arrows on his leg, pulled out an arrow and put it on the string, pulled the bowstring back three inches, and loosened the string without deliberately aiming.

Jing Shanggu, the examiner next to him, nodded secretly, judging from the movements, this candidate is still very skillful in use, but judging by his direction, he should aim at a ten-zhang target, and he should be a young man with a calm heart.

He didn't think that Wei Feng's limited ability could only shoot ten zhang targets, after all, arriving at the archery examination room at this point in time meant that the previous scriptures and questions had been abandoned, presumably the last two would not be too bad.

People who are good at shooting will generally gradually expand outward from short-distance targets, first, they need to be familiar with the new bow, and second, they can judge the current wind speed and direction through the trajectory of the arrow.

As expected, the arrow "do" was nailed into the bull's-eye of the ten-zhang bull's eye, and the sound was loud.

When the voice came out, Wei Feng's second arrow was about to be on the string, indicating that he didn't look at the previous result at all, and went to take down an arrow without pause.

It's a confident young man, Jing Shanggu thought to himself.

The second arrow is aimed at the 20 zhang target, and the average untrained amateur is the limit in the face of the 20 zhang target, not that it can't shoot farther, but in the case of ensuring the target rate, this distance is already very far.

The string opened seven inches and shot out again, Wei Feng took advantage of the situation to touch the third arrow, and only glanced at it with his afterglow, and knew the result.

"Dodo"

The sound of entering the target sounded again, Wei Feng had already put the third arrow on the string, and shot out again with a "whoosh", and the arrow flew to the thirty-zhang target, hitting it smoothly, and the sound of entering the target was slight, and Wei Feng touched the quiver again.

Jing Shanggu shook his head secretly, this kid's archery skills are not bad, but they are too big, don't look at the ten-zhang target, and the two arrows of twenty zhang and thirty zhang are not good-looking, it's just nonsense.

If you don't observe the flight path of the arrow to judge the wind speed and direction, let alone the target farther away, even the thirty-foot target may not be able to hit it again and again.

Before stepping on the path of cultivation, it is difficult for the archer to eliminate the interference of the natural wind on the flight trajectory of the arrows, Jing Shanggu, as an archery examiner, naturally knows this clearly, and as an examiner, he is also obliged to observe the performance of each candidate and examine the mental nature according to the behavior.

Wei Feng bent his bow again, and this time the target was the fifty-zhang target.

Fifty zhang, the limit distance of the good hand in the army is so much, if the effective distance can be farther, it will definitely stand out in all kinds of competitions and be cultivated as an elite.

There are a lot of targets in the front ten, twenty and thirty zhang, which are used by a large number of candidates at the same time, and there are very few fifty zhang targets, this kind of target is a plus point in the exam, and it is generally a military candidate or a child of the family will try, and it has to be a good hand who has done training.

According to the summary of some profound families, the target rate of the fifty zhang target can be more than half, and it is expected to impact the first-class evaluation, but the impact results are mostly failures, so for the sake of insurance, about half of the arrows will be used for the thirty zhang target, and the remaining part will be distributed according to their own strength and performance on the day of the exam, and see how much to try the fifty zhang target.

Seeing his movements, Jing Shanggu couldn't help but squint his eyes slightly, there are not many people who directly try the fifty-zhang target with the fourth arrow, either they are geniuses or arrogant people, the result is not very strong or very stupid, he retracted his opinion just now, and stared at Wei Feng with interest, I don't know what kind of kid this kid is.

Wei Feng's bow was half full, his body leaned slightly, and he directly sent the string after calculating the elevation angle.

Jing Shanggu narrowed his eyes and sighed slightly in his heart, judging from his many years of experience, this arrow is a little light, I'm afraid it will be difficult to reach the target.

What?!

As soon as the thought was born, his pupils suddenly dilated in surprise, and he saw that the arrow crossed an arc and hit the target with precision, not only that, but the tip of the arrow was firmly nailed into the bull's-eye.

No way!

This is his first thought, he has been immersed in archery for more than forty years, how can he misjudge, he is very familiar with the standard longbow in the army, the opening amplitude just now can not provide enough bow power, the strength of that arrow is definitely not enough, there is absolutely no possibility of hitting the target, unless...... Unless this kid is a cultivator!

Once he had this idea, he recalled the previous three arrows, as if this kid only used barely enough strength every time, and he didn't think it was strange for the three arrows to hit the target at the time, but now that he thinks about it, the arrows will be at most targeted, and they shouldn't be nailed so vigorously!

The exam clearly stipulates that cultivators are forbidden to participate in the school palace exam!

Jing Shanggu was hindered by the fact that as an invigilator, he could not take the initiative to interfere with the examinee's exam without evidence, although he was sure of his speculation, but the speculation could not be regarded as evidence, so he could only ask the chief invigilator to intervene.

Without hesitation, he turned over his hand and took out the jade talisman and poured it inward, this was the jade talisman for the chief invigilator, and he was completely sure that this person must be a cultivator.

Although he didn't know why a cultivator was so bold as to pretend to be an ordinary person to take the exam, although he didn't know how this person had concealed the detection array at the East Gate, although he didn't know why he hadn't been discovered by the chief examiner in the first exam just now.

But he knew that as long as the chief invigilator came here and only probed this person with his divine thoughts, then no matter how clever this person's hidden methods were, his true form would be revealed.
