Thousands of candidates stared intently at Li Jing, their ears bulging, as if afraid they hadn't heard him clearly.
Since everyone is participating in this imperial examination's martial arts test, no one wants to fail and be among the top three.
Now that Jun Lingzhao has won the title of Martial Arts Champion, only the second-place winner and the third-place winner of the Martial Arts Test remain.
"Bai Yujing is the second-place winner in the martial arts competition!"
"Luo Shenxiao is the third-place winner in the martial arts competition and the third-ranked martial arts scholar!"
"The fourth place in the martial arts competition is Zuoqiu Wuhen!"
"Ning Wuque ranked fifth in the martial arts competition!"
"Liu Feixue ranked sixth in the martial arts competition!"
"Qingyang Kong ranked seventh in the martial arts competition!"
"Zhang Wuyou ranked eighth in the martial arts competition!"
"Shen Ruyun ranked ninth in the martial arts competition!"
"Lian Chengyu ranked tenth in the martial arts test!"
Li Jing spoke in a deep and powerful voice.
This time, he directly named all ten of the top ten candidates in the imperial examination's martial arts test.
The main reason is that in this imperial examination's martial arts test, apart from the top three...
The top three are all true military leaders, possessing the strength to become legendary military geniuses.
The examiners for the military examination were Yan Changqing, the Grand Secretary; Zhong Shenxiu, the Minister of Personnel; Zhou Li, the commander of the Tianquan Army; Gongsun Wangshu, the commander of the Yuheng Army; and Huangfu Yunhai, the commander of the Kaiyang Army.
Zhou Li, Gongsun Wangshu, and Huangfu Yunhai are, of course, three of the six legion commanders of the Taichu Dynasty.
All three men possessed exceptional military talent.
Zhou Li is known as the God of War, Gongsun Wangshu can be called the God of War, and Huangfu Yunhai's military talent is no less than theirs.
As for the Grand Secretary Yan Changqing and the Minister of Personnel Zhong Shenxiu, they need no further introduction; both of them are extraordinary talents capable of becoming both generals and prime ministers!
When the five examiners saw the exam papers of Zhao Lingjun, Bai Yujing, and Luo Shenxiao, they were all amazed and full of praise for the three of them.
Zhao Lingjun was the eldest princess of Yue who had truly commanded a large army. She was already capable of ruling a region, strategizing, and winning battles from thousands of miles away!
Bai Yujing and Luo Shenxiao are slightly inferior to Zhao Lingjun, except that neither of them has ever truly commanded a large army.
With some experience, their achievements will be no less than Zhao Lingjun's!
As for Zuoqiu Wuhen and his group of seven, they were only slightly inferior to Zhao Lingjun and his group of three, not far behind.
Each of them has the potential to become a legion commander in the Primordial Dynasty!
"This humble general thanks Your Majesty for your great kindness!"
Zhao Lingjun, Bai Yujing, Luo Shenxiao, Zuoqiu Wuhen, Ning Wuque, and four others stepped forward and expressed their gratitude to Li Jing with great excitement.
No need for formalities.
Li Jing waved his hand and addressed Zhao Lingjun and the others.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Zhao Lingjun and the others spoke with utmost respect.
"Many of you ten have participated in the imperial examinations."
"Jun Lingzhao was the second-place winner in the written examination, and Zuoqiu Wuhen was the third-place winner."
Li Jing pondered for a moment, then looked at Zhao Lingjun and the others and said, "At that time, I asked you whether you wanted to be officially appointed immediately or wait until after the imperial examinations and military tests."
Your answer is that we should wait until after the imperial examination and the military test.
Now, I will ask you one more time.
However, I'm asking the ten of you.
"Do you want to serve as officials in the imperial court, or do you want to join the army?"
"Enter the army!"
Zhao Lingjun and the other ten exchanged glances and spoke without hesitation.
Bai Yujing, who did not participate in the civil service examination but only the military examination, could only enter the army.
However, Zhao Lingjun and the other nine chose to join the army, hoping to become generals of the Taichu Dynasty.
They might even secretly hope that one day they could be like Zhou Li, the God of War of the Primordial Dynasty, and lead a legion, becoming the legion commander of the Primordial Dynasty.
"Jun Lingzhao, should I continue to call you Jun Lingzhao, or should I call you Zhao Lingjun?"
Li Jing nodded slightly, looked at Zhao Lingjun, and said calmly.
"..."
Upon hearing Li Jing's words, thousands of examinees stared at Zhao Lingjun in astonishment.
Bai Yujing, Luo Shenxiao, and Zuoqiu Wuhen, who were among the top ten in the imperial examination's martial arts test, all stared at Zhao Lingjun in astonishment.
They exclaimed, "How can there be such a handsome person?"
It turns out she was actually Princess Zhao Lingjun of the Yue Kingdom!
One of the three extraordinary women of the Burial Ground of Immortals, she commanded 300,000 border troops in the Yue Kingdom and was a figure of great renown.
Knowing Zhao Lingjun's identity, there was no longer any doubt that she could rank second in the civil service examination and first in the martial arts examination.
Leaving aside the written exam, the martial arts exam, the first test of comprehension, saw Zhao Lingjun directly comprehend the sword intent.
It's easy to imagine that Zhao Lingjun scored full marks in the subject of comprehension.
As for the second subject, Zhao Lingjun's ability to command 300,000 border troops of Yue as the eldest princess is enough to demonstrate her extraordinary military talent.
Zhao Lingjun is very likely to rank first in the second subject of the martial arts test as well, and directly win the title of martial arts champion with the highest scores in both subjects and the highest total score.
The thousands of candidates felt it was only natural that Princess Zhao Lingjun of Yue would come to the Taichu Dynasty to participate in the imperial examinations, and that she would directly participate in both the civil and military examinations.
Many of these people were even genius cultivators from sects, making them far more noble than a princess from a mortal dynasty.
The reason they came to the Primordial Dynasty to participate in the imperial examination was because the Primordial Dynasty was a dynasty of destiny, an incomparably powerful dynasty that was even more powerful than the Holy Land!
Princess Zhao Lingjun of Yue must have thought the same way they did.
