Recalling the scenes of participating in martial arts tests in previous years, Xing Tian could only smile helplessly.
At that time, I had not yet found the Purple Gourd and had not been cured of my congenital deficiencies, so both my boxing skills and physical fitness were far behind those of my peers. Naturally, it was normal for me to be unable to pass the first level at that time.
.
However, things are different now. Today, Xing Tian has already successfully tempered his body. It can be said that it is easy to pass this first level.
Soon, the officials in charge of the martial arts test led the people participating in the martial arts test to an open area. There were many stone piers in the open area with iron rings on them. These stone piers were of different sizes, ranging from the size of a human head to the heavy ones.
It weighs thirty kilograms, and the big one is as big as a washbasin, more than a foot tall, but weighs a hundred kilograms.
There are several clerks beside them, with desks, stools, pens, ink, paper and inkstones. They are responsible for recording the scores of each candidate.
"The first level of the martial arts test is to test strength. As the saying goes, practice martial arts first. Without a certain level of strength, it is simply wishful thinking to talk about martial arts. After a while, those whose names were called came forward and threw heavy objects. Those who were less than five feet were eliminated.
Those who are five feet tall will be judged based on the weight of the stone pier they choose and the distance of throwing it!"
The official in charge of the first level of the assessment said this and immediately started arranging the test.
Candidates from more than a dozen nearby villages were divided into five groups and came forward. Naturally, some easily passed the test and threw the stone pier five feet away, while some tried their best and threw the stone pier within five feet.
, drink hate and eliminate.
The examiner in charge of this first level sat back in his seat, took a sip of tea and said to himself: "In previous years, this first level would have been 20% lower, but compared with the following levels, this first level is very easy.
It’s great, but I don’t know how many people will pass the martial arts test this year!”
Thinking of this, the examiner's eyes unconsciously moved to the group of young people in Wajin Village.
This time, before the martial arts test even started, Wajin Village stole the show. First, there was Xing Tian, a useless candidate who had participated in three martial arts tests in a row and was eliminated at the first level, and then there was a person who was valued by Yu Tonghai, the elder of the Guashan Sect's outer sect.
, Xu Jiang, who will surely rise to prominence in the future, both of them are from Wajin Village. Naturally, Wajin Village will not be able to attract attention.
"Next, Wajin Village, Xu Jiang!"
The clerk in charge of recording called out the names on the list. Just because Xu Jiang was valued by Elder Yu before, many people turned their attention.
At this moment, Xu Jiang seemed to have regained his former pride. He stepped into the field, shouted, and reached out to grab the stone pier weighing a hundred kilograms.
"A hundred kilogram stone pier, unless one has a physique with natural divine power, only a warrior in the body tempering realm can throw it five feet. Could it be that Xu Jiang has successfully tempered 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 responsible for the first level of the martial arts test. It is not that there are no candidates who have succeeded in tempering, but one will only appear in two or three years. And once
Candidates who appear in the Body Tempering Realm will almost 100% be taken into the Wu Sect and be trained as treasures.
In addition to the test examiners, the surrounding candidates and the martial arts masters from each village also had shocked expressions. The next moment, Xu Jiang lifted up the stone pier and threw it with all his strength.
The stone pier flew out, fell six feet away, and crashed to the ground.
"A hundred-jin stone pier, a distance of six feet, excellent results!" The clerk in charge of recording the results was also stunned for a moment. This was the first time he saw a candidate who could throw a hundred-jin stone pier five feet away.
He was just surprised. He had also seen the fact that the candidate named Xu Jiang was valued by Elder Yu of the Guashan Sect. In his eyes, Elder Yu was a real expert. He could be spoken out by such an expert.
If you want to become a disciple, it is reasonable to behave like this.
So Xu Jiang walked towards the venue where the second level test was held amidst everyone's surprised and envious eyes.
The martial arts test continued, and Lu Meng also threw a fifty kilogram stone pillar five feet away and passed the first level with a moderate rating.
"Next, Wajin Village, Xingtian!"
Mr. Wenwen shouted, and Xing Tian also walked out in front of many people's attention.
Previously, due to Duan Ming's provocation from Changqiao Village, it was well known that Xing Tian was eliminated at the first level of the martial arts test for three consecutive years. So when he appeared on the stage, he actually attracted great attention, which was no less than
Xu Jiang.
This is the weird inner workings of people. They always like to see others worse than themselves. It seems that when they see people worse than themselves, they will spontaneously feel a sense of superiority.
"Look, it's this trash!"
"It's pitiful. He should be almost fifteen years old. So this year is his last chance. If he fails the martial arts test, he will have to go home to farm and die in the fields."
"Yes, that Xu Jiang just now is indeed extremely talented. He came from the same village, but this Xing Tian is far behind him!"
Duan Ming from Changqiao Village had just passed the first test. Like Lu Meng, he chose a fifty-kilogram stone pier, but he threw it seven feet away, and his results were excellent.
Seeing Xing Tian coming on the stage, he stopped and watched with a sneer on his face, as if he wanted to see how the other party would make a fool of himself.
Xing Tian walked directly over and stopped in front of the smallest stone pier, which was a thirty-pound stone pier. This move naturally attracted a burst of harsh ridicule and ridicule. However, regarding this kind of doubt, Xing Tian had previously
I heard too much and was not moved at all.
Looking at the thirty kilogram stone pier in front of him, Xing Tian's experience in the past three years came to mind. Three times in a row, he failed at this first hurdle, but he had never thrown such a thirty kilogram stone pier.
Five feet away.
Originally, with his current strength, even choosing a stone pier of 100 kilograms would be more than enough, but this 30 kilogram stone pier has another meaning for him.
That's a shame!
For three years, it was this 30-pound stone pier that blocked Xingtian's footsteps. Many ridicules, humiliations and despair came from this stone pier.
And today is the time to wash away the shame.
"Did you choose a thirty-kilogram stone pier? This kid is self-aware, but it's a pity that even if it is a thirty-kilogram stone, it is not easy to throw it five feet away!" A black man watching from the outside.
The bearded man said with a sneer.
"That's not necessarily true, I think he can succeed!" A voice sounded beside him.
The man with the black beard was Wu Tiande. When he turned around, he found that the man in blue shirt with whom he had bet before appeared again, but he smiled and said: "It turns out to be Brother Qu. Why, we didn't win the bet before, so why not continue?"
?”
"That's what I meant!" The man in blue shirt was obviously very interested, so the two of them actually took out a banknote each, and then turned their attention to the venue.
At this moment, Xing Tian reached out and grabbed the iron ring of the 30-pound stone pier, then swung his arm and threw the stone pier out.
I didn’t drink loudly, I didn’t have to move my muscles and bones, I just grabbed it and threw it away, as if it was not a stone pier but a sandbag.
Whoosh!
The stone pier was thrown high, drew a curve, and then hit the ground heavily. That place was already outside the stadium.
The whole place fell silent for a moment.
The stone pier was actually thrown thirty feet away.
The clerk who recorded the results was about to pick up the pen and dip it in ink. He was stunned when he saw the stone pier flying more than thirty feet away, so that the ink dripped down the tip of the pen and fell onto the paper without knowing it. The official in charge of the first level was also
Holding the tea cup, he stood there blankly, looking at Shi Dun being thrown out of the field. His mind could not wrap his head around it for a long time. Even these two people reacted like this, not to mention everyone in the audience.
"Is there any mistake? Could it be that the stone pier is hollow?" one person shouted.
For a time, there was a lot of discussion in the audience, and the expressions on almost everyone's faces were extremely weird. It's no wonder that they originally wanted to see others make a fool of themselves, but in the end, the other party showed unexpected excellence. Under this kind of gap, unless
He is the kind of person who is extremely sophisticated, otherwise it would be difficult to restrain the twitching muscles on his face.
"It's fake, it must be fake. Even a thirty kilogram stone pier cannot be thrown that far, unless this guy is a body tempering realm warrior..." Wu Tiande, a black-bearded man, was dumbfounded, and his eyes almost bulged out.
, but he also knows that the martial arts test is a major event, how could he cheat?
But the man in blue shirt next to him laughed and took the other person's banknote: "Yesterday, I calculated that I would make a small fortune today, and it turned out to be the case. Thank you!"
Wu Tiande was getting annoyed and was about to turn around and curse a few words, but he found the figure of the man in blue shirt somewhere behind him.
But he didn't know that the man in blue shirt moved his steps while speaking, moving out of the crowd with an extremely delicate footwork. Many people felt a gust of wind, but they couldn't see the figure of the man in blue shirt clearly.
Outside the crowd, the man in blue shirt looked at Xing Tian in the distance, but murmured: "A month ago, I made a divination in the mountains and said that I would receive a good disciple in this martial arts test. Now it seems that it is true.
It’s really a piece of jade, and it’s not worth it for me to go down the mountain in person. However, there are still some twists and turns in the hexagram, but someone needs to resolve it..."
A thirty kilogram stone pier was thrown thirty feet away. This achievement directly caused a sensation.
Since the martial arts test was held in Dawumen Town, no one has been able to throw a stone pier thirty feet away, which is a hundred meters away. This is because those strong candidates will choose fifty kilograms, eighty kilograms and one pound.
How could someone like Xing Tian choose a stone pier of 30 kilograms when it comes to a stone pier of 100 kilograms?
In the end, Mr. Wen Shu discussed with the official in charge of the first level for a while and gave Xing Tian an 'excellent' rating.
By the time Xing Tian stood at the second-level test site like the other candidates who had passed the first level, no one dared to look down upon him anymore.
