This exam directly determines one's status as a scholar.
Ling Jiheng did not dare to slack off. Besides exercising, he read books every day.

The first two exams lasted one day each, but the third exam lasted two consecutive days.

Of course, such a long period of time will also give candidates time to rest.
Rest three times a day, you can move your body slightly, but you cannot talk.
Before leaving, the old lady smiled and patted her two grandsons' arms: "Do well in the exam, don't feel stressed, just do your best."
