When the Chenshi arrived, all the candidates stood in the middle of the arena, a total of 230 people, wearing uniform.
Then the Assistant Minister of War gave a speech, explaining the subjects of this year's military examination.
This martial arts examination is divided into five tests and adopts a points system.
The first round, which was on the first day, tested strength in three ways: lifting a stone, dancing with a sword, and using a bow.
Lifting stones involves lifting rocks of varying weights, from 200 to 250, and 300 kilograms. If you don't drop them within the allotted time, you earn one point. If you don't meet the time limit, you get no points. Of course, if you can't even lift 200 kilograms, you're disqualified.
In the sword dance, swords weighing eighty, one hundred, and one hundred and fifty respectively are used for competition. The competition is conducted by drawing lots. The winner gets one point, and the loser gets no points.
When drawing the bow, there are three levels of strength: eight, ten, and twelve. If you pass, you will get one point, otherwise no points will be awarded.
First, there is a draw of lots, numbers one to two hundred and three.
Cheng Jinxing drew number one, Ji Minghao drew number one hundred, and He Zheng drew number seventy-four.
According to the number plates, every twenty-three people occupy a ring, and there is a recorder on each ring.
With the sound of a gong, the ceremony officially began.
For Cheng Jinxing, today's competitions are not a problem at all. He can easily win three points.
When he was in Feihu Village, he often carried a sword weighing 200 pounds to fight with bandits. The weapon of Sun Dahu, the leader of Feihu Village, was a big sword.
Not to mention bow drawing, at home, Shanshui asked Cheng Jinxing to practice archery a lot.
As for lifting the stone, haha, their Cheng family has three strongmen, strongman grandma, strongman dad, and strongman aunt. Under their guidance, he lifted the stone on the martial arts field very easily.
Among these three competitions, sword dancing is the most interesting. After all, according to the rules, sword dancing is considered a competition because it is a two-on-two duel.
At the end of the day, half of the 230 people had scored three points, and nothing could be seen at the moment.
Cheng Jinxing was very happy when he saw Xue Hanyu and Cheng Yue sitting among the Cheng family. However, when the meeting was over, he held back and did not speak to Xue Hanyu.
…
After a few days, Cheng Jinxing had become a sensation in the capital, and many brave young ladies dared to block him directly, including some noble ladies.
Of course, in Cheng Jinxing's eyes, there are only family members, and everyone else except Xue Hanyu is the same.
He could still make the girl cry or ignore her kindness like he did in Yunzhou.
However, the girls in the capital are much bolder than those in Yunzhou, and they are all persistent.
Of course, there are other good guys besides Cheng Jinxing, but Cheng Jinxing and Ji Minghao are particularly popular with girls.
Ji Minghao is fine, as he is the son of a great general, and some girls feel that they are not worthy of him.
But Cheng Jinxing is different. Although he is related to Earl Anyuan, his family is in business. He is just a rich young man, and the girls think he is more down-to-earth.
Soon, it was time for the fourth exam, a martial arts competition.
This is a competition of boxing and kicking skills, which lasts for two days in total.
On the first day, the players were divided into groups of 23 people each. They drew lots to decide their opponents, and one of them was given a bye. Finally, the winners and the bye player competed against each other again to select six players.
There were sixty people in total. The next day, they drew lots again to decide their opponents. The thirty winners would go on to the big stage for a melee.
