Chapter Twenty-Eight: A Test of Strength
Early in the morning of the second day, Lu Yu followed the Iron Eagle to teach and went to the Wufu station in Funiu Mountain.
Lu Yu has been interested in the Martial Mansion for a long time, and now that he is finally about to see his true face, he can't help but feel excited.
Out of the north gate of the state capital, and then go more than 30 miles, is the foothills of Funiu Mountain.
Along the way, the closer he got to the foothills of Funiu Mountain, the more places Lu Yu could feel that there were spiritual powers, and this spiritual power light cluster was still slowly moving towards the Wufu station!
He had heard Dr. Ye say that there were a lot of "Gathering Spiritual Treasure Trees" planted in the Wufu Residence in Jizhou! They would continue to gather scattered spiritual power within a radius of dozens of miles! Now that they have seen this strange scene with their own eyes, they also feel eye-opening.
When I came to the Wufu station, about five miles away, a towering giant tree about dozens of zhang high first came into my eyes.
Iron Eagle Sect Xi Yao pointed to the giant tree, turned his head to Lu Yu and smiled, "Trainee Lu Yu, have you ever heard of this tree?"
Lu Yu was also very surprised, and asked, "Iron Eagle Sect, this should be the 'Gathering Spirit Treasure Tree', right?"
Tie Ying laughed and said: "Yes, it is this tree, this Gathering Spirit Treasure Tree, which is thousands of years old, and it is the foundation of my Jizhou Martial Mansion!"
"A thousand-year-old tree?" Lu Yu couldn't help but secretly speak.
"Well, this Gathering Spirit Treasure Tree, for hundreds of years, has also cultivated dozens of sub-trees for my Martial Mansion! After the strength test, the Martial Mansion will arrange for you to temporarily stay near a sub-tree, and when the time comes, you will be able to experience the magic of this treasure tree for yourself!"
When Lu Yu heard this, he couldn't help but ask, "Tie Sect Xi, near this treasure tree, is there a lot of aura light clusters?"
"Spiritual Light Cluster?hahaha......" Tie Ying couldn't help but laugh. "Then you will know that there is a martial arts arena in front of you! You better sign up first!"
While talking, the two of them kept moving, and after a while, they had already reached a square with a size of dozens of acres!
On this square, there are ten huge rings, which are thought to be used by the martial arts students to perform martial arts competitions on weekdays.
At this time, around the ten rings, there were already many students signing up for the test.
Lu Yu said goodbye to Tie Ying, chose a ring at random, reported his name, and then took a number plate of forty-eight.
Many registered students knew Lu Yu and came to this ring, and they all looked at it, but Lu Yu didn't care, and stood aside by himself.
glanced up and down the ring, and saw that there were twenty stone locks on the edge of the ring, which were 100 catties, 150 catties, and even a thousand catties!
Although the weight of these twenty stone locks varies greatly, they are all about the same size! This should be because of the different materials used. Especially the thousand-pound stone lock, the whole body is dark and shiny, Lu Yu asked the people around him and learned that it was actually made of dark iron!
When he first entered the martial arts, Lu Yu could easily lift two or three hundred catties of boulders with one hand, and if he grabbed the stone lock, it should be easier! After more than a month of cultivation in the mine, plus more than 20 days on the road to Jizhou, Lu Yu's strength has increased a lot! But how much has it increased, Lu Yu really hasn't tested it.
At this moment, I only heard the host in the ring shouting: "Strength test, ready to start!" I will announce the rules first, all the students should listen carefully!"
The students under the ring fell silent and listened to the host's words!
"We had a total of 98 students in Ring 6 to take part in the test. Later, we will be tested in groups of 10 people! Each person has three chances to try different amounts of stone locks! Hold the stone lock high above the top with one hand and hold on for ten breaths before it is completed! It is up to everyone to choose carefully! Okay, the strength test has officially begun. Numbers 1-10 come forward!" said the presiding officer.
The students, who were holding plates from No. 1 to No. 10, walked out of the crowd one after another.
When the ten people stood up, the person in charge shouted: "No. 1!
The No. 1 was a sturdy boy of sixteen or seventeen years old, and when he heard this, he took a few steps forward and came to the stone lock marked with two hundred and fifty pounds.
Squatting down slightly, the sturdy young man grabbed the handle of the stone lock, exhaled and shouted, "Get up!" Hold the two hundred and fifty pounds of stone lock high above the top!
In the surrounding crowd of spectators, there were a few exclamations. With these two hundred and fifty catties of stone locks, most first-order martial artists can raise them with one hand, but there are not many who can be as easy as this sturdy young man.
After holding on for ten breaths, the young man gently put down the stone lock, and came to the three hundred catties of stone locks, paused slightly, and continued to come to the three hundred and fifty catties of stone locks.
The crowd couldn't help but let out a burst of exclamation! I saw that the sturdy young man was still squatting slightly, grabbed the stone lock with his right hand, shook it lightly twice, adjusted his posture, and roared again: "Get up!" The stone lock suddenly left the ground, the strong young man's face was flushed, and he pushed up with all his strength, and finally lifted the stone lock high above the top, and slowly stood up straight.
Ten breaths passed quickly, and the "Dong" sturdy young man threw the three hundred and fifty pounds of stone locks on the ground, gasping for breath.
There was a burst of cheers from the crowd.
The person in charge also nodded slightly, and said in his heart: "This young man should have cultivated some kind of explosive power martial art!But being able to lift three hundred and fifty catties of stone locks at the first level of martial artists is already good!" With a stroke of his pen, the person who presided over the test of strength was written with the word elite!
"Number two, step forward!"
The test continued, but the No. 2 student only lifted the stone lock of 250 catties, and when he hit the 300 catties, he failed to lift it above the top, that is, he was weak and threw the stone lock down.
In this way, the test was carried out quickly, and the ten students quickly completed the test one by one, but among these ten people, there were no students who could lift three hundred and fifty pounds again!
"Eleven-twentieth forward!" The test continued, and the second group stepped forward.
In this group, two people appeared in a row to complete three hundred and fifty catties, and even one of them broke out and lifted the four hundred catties of stone locks above the top, but in the end they failed to hold on to ten breaths.
Soon, it was Lu Yu's turn to play in a group.
In the crowd, there was a whisper, and many people looked at Lu Yu, speculating how many catties of stone locks he could complete.
Soon the host said: "Forty-eight, come forward to test!"
There was a buzzing sound in the crowd, and all the students looked at No. 48 Lu Yu together.
Lu Yu stepped forward, took a look at the stone lock, and came directly to the place where the three hundred and fifty catties of stone lock were!
"Boom" The crowd was in an uproar.
"He actually started directly from three hundred and fifty pounds!"
"It's a bit of a big deal!"
"Hmph, I can't do it! Do you really think that there was some accident in the talent test, and you are a first-class genius? I think this Lu Yu must not be able to lift three hundred and fifty pounds of stone locks, and he will be forced to reduce his weight later, but he will laugh and be generous!" The sturdy young man who was the first to test couldn't help but speak up.
All the students discussed one after another, and most of them thought that Lu Yu was too big and was suspected of grandstanding!
The person who presided over was also a little surprised, but he didn't speak, he has seen a lot of elite geniuses in the presiding strength test over the years! Although the results of three hundred and fifty catties are good, for some talented people, it is just a casual action!
Lu Yu lowered his body, grabbed the stone lock, and after weighing it slightly, he already knew it.
With the force in his hand, the stone lock rose from the ground, and turned it up again, and the three hundred and fifty catties of stone lock had been lifted high by Lu Yu!
