Text Chapter 84: Test Items

There were a lot of people densely distributed on the martial arts field, presumably the people who participated in the test and the onlookers. The two of them found a place where there were fewer people and walked over.

Through the gap in the crowd, several mechanisms can be seen inside. The traps are placed in different shapes, some are columnar, some are cross-pile, and some are of different shapes, but it is obvious that they are clearly connected into a pathway, and the test should be done from beginning to end.

It's just that Le Qi is a little curious, how are these devices tested, and it is said that it can test the strength, speed and agility of the participants in the test. It's easy to say, it's not difficult to do, just say that this is a test of strength, just put a few heavier stones, it's not troublesome. Ke Leqi took a closer look, but found no shadow of a stone or a heavy object. Speaking of which, it makes Dele Qi not understandable.

At this time, someone happened to come to test it, and Le Qi's eyes fell on the person's place. The person who participated in the test was a man, this person had a strong body, trained a body of blocky muscles, and his thick arms were more than half as thick as ordinary people's, if there was no miscalculation, this should be a strength-type martial artist. Since this is the testing site of the Great Xuanist Realm martial artist, this person's strength is naturally the eighth order of the Great Xuanist Realm, which can be roughly felt from the momentum on his body.

There were several people dressed in royal attire and wearing royal insignia at the testing site presiding over the order. After the man came on the field, after the person standing at the starting point briefly introduced him a few words, the person urged this to start a little impatiently, presumably having seen the people in front of him test a few times, and already knew the rules in his heart. Immediately, after the command was given, the man began the test.

Le Qi and Huang Jin had just arrived, and they didn't know how to test it, so they all turned their heads to look at the people who tested it to see what the mystery of this testing ground was.

After hearing the command to start, the strong man did not start directly, but made a little preparation before sprinting forward. When he stepped on a section of two or three meters long and wide wooden plank, Le Qi found that the water leak clock placed next to him actually began to move, and began to drip water tick and tick.

The water leak clock is a timekeeping tool, and it can be regarded as a relatively accurate timekeeping tool. The day is divided into twelve hours, an hour is divided into eight quarters, and further down, of course, there are smaller units of time.

Originally, this smaller unit was not very accurate, it was measured by a cup of tea, by a few breaths, and by a silent count.

But people have found that these measurement methods are not accurate after all, and the deviation is not small, for example, the time of a cup of tea, the time of drinking a cup of tea, completely varies from person to person, I drink faster, you drink slower, the deviation is big.

The same is true for breathing and silent counting in the heart, deep breathing and rapid breathing, the rhythm of the heart is different, and it will also cause a big deviation.

If you usually use it for rough estimation, it's practical, but if it's really used for slightly more accurate timekeeping, it's completely useless, and you need a more accurate timekeeping tool. And the water leak clock was born because of this.

Water leak clocks, as the name suggests, are timed according to the uniformity of the water leakage. It has been found that the speed of water leakage is very uniform, especially when the water level in the water leak is close to constant, which is very suitable for timing.

Discover this feature, then the rest of the thing is extremely simple, stipulate the specifications of the water leakage, including its inner diameter size, water level height, base aperture size, under this condition, with the known time unit engraving for dripping, with a uniform specification of transparent material small diameter cylinder to connect the leakage, evenly mark the scale, the water leakage clock is manufactured.

(Some people may ask, the twelve hours of a day are easy to measure, how do you know the eight quarters of an hour?) This question also comes from the timekeeping method of the ancients, at that time, people used the method of shadows to determine the twelve hours, and further marked eight quarters in each hour, so that there was a time unit of ticks.)

Since then, this simple and accurate method of timing has been widely accepted, for convenience, after adjusting the specifications of the water leak clock, a moment is equivalent to the time of falling a thousand droplets, but the unit of the drop seems to be smaller, if the time is within a moment, and more than half of it, it is called a few moments of hundreds of drops, it is indeed troublesome, therefore, some people propose to make a hundred drops for a point, take the meaning of separation.

Thus, a moment can be accurately said as: a few moments, a few minutes, a few drops. Of course, ordinary people, especially warriors who are often outside, basically don't need things like water leakage clocks, not to mention that they are not very useful, just say that its volume, work needs to be stable and other characteristics, it is not suitable for carrying.

Of course, there are also some skilled craftsmen who use other principles to make some small timing tools, which are much smaller in size, and can even be worn on the body, but those are also complex in process, relatively expensive, and easy to be damaged when the warrior fights, and the warrior does not like to wear it.

And, there's a strange thing, if the clock is put in a void container, it won't be accurate. This thing is also peculiar, this is not arbitrary, it still has a law to follow, it will never be sometimes fast, sometimes slow, but must be slow, slow and tight.

In addition, the greater the degree of space compression of the Void Container, the slower it becomes, for example, in the Void Ring, it will be much slower than in the Void Box. As for the principle, Le Qi is not clear, but he heard that it is related to the compression of space, but he is not clear about the specific reason.

Nodding, the water leak clock should be used to keep time, and the timekeeping is of course used to measure speed.

The strong man continued to sprint forward, and soon, the 100-meter-long straight was finished, and when he took the last step of the straight, he didn't know what the mechanism was, the first water leak clock actually stopped, and someone standing next to the water leak clock looked at the time and said: 100 meters time: eight drops!

After listening to the time, many people shook their heads, and their faces sneered, just a distance of 100 meters still needs eight drops, which can be said to be too slow!

You must know that when a martial artist cultivates martial arts, his whole body is strengthened and supported by Xuan Qi, which is by no means comparable to ordinary people. The distance of 100 meters is nothing at all, even an ordinary martial artist of the Great Xuan Realm can run in only six or seven drops of time, and this person is a martial artist of the eighth order of the Great Xuan Realm, and it takes eight drops of time, which can be said to be pitifully slow, and it is no wonder that he is looked down upon.

The big man continued to move forward, he heard the laughter from both sides, and couldn't help but snort heavily, the earthy yellow aura on his body became more and more intense, and his body, which was originally very strong, now looked even more majestic, and he ran like an angry rhinoceros.

In the second part of the test, there were some circular cylinders made of unknown material, grayish-black, about a foot wide, separated from each other at intervals. These columns are firmly interlocked to the ground, making it difficult to guess what they are used for.

Le Qi shook his head, no longer guessing what they were for, anyway, the strong man was already close to the first gray-brown pillar, and it was easier to observe them carefully than to speculate.

I saw that the man approached the first pillar, only to hear him shout, and in an instant, the earthy yellow aura all over his body swelled, and then he waved his huge fist, and a punch hit the pillar!

It was too late, but it was too late, and the pillar that was hit by the golden punch was actually centered on the place where it was attacked, and it glowed blue-purple in a dizzy circle to the outer circle!

Le Qi was attracted by this sight, and was a little surprised, thinking that this pillar was really strange, and it could shine with a fist attack. However, it didn't show too much of a shape, it seemed out of shape, and after thinking about it for a while, it felt that the material of the cylinder was a little special, and it might be able to absorb the energy of external attacks and transform it into light.

However, the people around him couldn't calm down, they came earlier than the two of them, and they had already seen many tests, and some people sighed in surprise: "Blue and blue light! He punched out the blue and purple light! What a strong force!"

"Blue violet light! What a lot of power! It seems that since the beginning of the test, it is the second time I have seen someone reach this power today!"

............

Yes, the second time. As for the first time, it was Fan Fan, the third prince of the royal family, and his punch did not hit a blue light, but a dazzling purple light! I heard that he was the strongest person in the same realm in the royal family, and even, many people felt that he should be regarded as the strongest person in the Great Xuan Realm of the Black Forest Empire!

And this strong man can even shoot blue and purple light! Although it is not as good as the third prince Fan Fan, it is already very rare. You must know that Zhang Pingliang, the quasi-first person of Xingxuanzong, had tested it before, and he just shot out a blue light, not a purple light.

Of course, this is not to say that Zhang Pingliang is not such a person, just that his explosiveness is not so human, but combat effectiveness is not only based on explosiveness, speed and skills, etc., which are also very important. Although this person is explosive, his speed is still a lot slower, and whether he can hit it is another matter.

Le Qi listened to the discussion of the people around him, and also roughly understood the truth, the difference in strength can make the column emit red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple These different lights, red is the weakest, and orange is a little stronger, and so on, this person played a blue-purple light, and the three princes of the royal family played a dazzling purple light, which is currently the two with the strongest explosive power. Le Qi was also a little eager to try, not knowing what light he could shoot, blue light or purple light?

The big man on the field continued, every time his next punch hit the pillar, the purple light entrained in the blue would be a little stronger, and in the end, the purple light was faintly more than the blue light, which attracted a burst of applause from the people present.

Soon he came to the third part, where there were uneven and messily arranged stone piles on the ground, and on both sides there were targets made of the same material as the second part, which were round, about a little larger than a palm, and the distribution was also disorganized, one higher and one low, and one on the left.

Obviously, this is used to test agility, stepping on stone piles, punching round targets, very testing the coordination ability of martial artists, if you only care about one place, you can't pass the test, in fact, there are really many people who fall off the stone pile, so the test fails.

Later, many people learned a little better, and they didn't dare to rush forward, but they all saw clearly and thought clearly before moving forward. This reduces the chance of dropping, but the speed is much slower, and there are gains and losses. The whole process and each part of the test are timed, and time is naturally a very important reference, and this method has both gains and losses.

The strong man naturally passed cautiously, although slowly, but also steadily, and all the targets hit blue light, which can be regarded as very good.

Eventually, the man finished the test, and the time to complete it was one minute and fifty-two drops, which was not fast, but his explosiveness was truly shocking.
