Chapter 21 The first round of assessment
At noon, Zhuo Yu stepped into Jingwu City, and he could see many luxurious large carriages, these carriages were erected by the elders of those famous families, and they all came here to cheer up their back boys, and at the same time to compare, meet old friends, and even show off.
"These idiots really have money and no place to spend it, and they actually use gold to make a saddle!" Zhuo Yu looked at the luxurious carriages on both sides of the continent, and cursed secretly in his heart.
The assessment is carried out in the Jingwu Academy, and only those who sign up can enter with a brand.
"Zhuo Yu, from Snake Village, the information is correct, you can go in!" said a guard at the gate of the Jingwu Academy, and then handed the checked sign to Zhuo Yu.
Entering the Jingwu Courtyard, you will be greeted by a huge square and a dark crowd of people, all of whom have come to participate in the assessment.
The square is very huge, thousands of feet wide, bigger than Zhuo Yu's village, on the other side of the square, there are many houses, this is just the gate of the Jingwu Academy, of course Zhuo Yu can't see the situation inside.
There were more than 100 rows in the square, and each row had at least 1,000 people, like a long queue! That is to say, there were as many as 100,000 people who came to participate in the examination!
Although the number of people is large, the probability of elimination is also high, 100,000 people, and only a few hundred people can enter the Jingwu Academy in the end, or even less.
The teams are divided into men and women, and each platoon is subject to the same assessment.
Zhuo Yu entered the team, through the conversation of others, he knew the content of the first assessment, within the time limit, lift five hundred pounds of stones, run on the stake to the end, ring the bell hanging above, and then run back, once you can't do it, you will be eliminated.
This can be said to be very difficult, because Zhuo Yu has not heard a few bells so far!
It was a very long wait, and the blacksmith's participation in the assessment was also the focus of attention, because most people wanted to see Zhuo Yu make a fool of himself, gloating, and human nature.
When Zhuo Yu came, he brought a lot of meat food, almost all the way over, although it was almost evening, he could still withstand it.
Noon to late afternoon because there were so many people.
Before September 10th, complete the first round of assessment, complete the second round of assessment before September 20th, complete the third round of assessment before September 30th, pay the tuition fee before October 10th or pass the task of Jingwu Academy, you can enter Jingwu Academy and become a student of Jingwu Academy.
So, in fact, there is no need to come so early, but Zhuo Yu knows that there are two chances in the first round of assessment, and if he fails the first time, he can start again.
If he didn't pass the assessment on the first day, then Zhuo Yu could do it again after ten days, and during this period, he would be able to improve his level again, so he would come to join in the excitement of the first day, and many people also had the same idea as him.
When he arrived at the front, Zhuo Yu saw the content of the assessment.
Pick up a five-hundred-pound stone, this stone is irregular, uneven, half a person high, not easy to pick up, after picking it up, you have to jump on the three-foot-high stake, and there is a bell above, you must lift the stone to ring the bell, the hourglass will start to calculate, and then you have to hurry up and run in the twenty-zhang long stake group, run to the end and then hit the bell above the end, and then run back to pass the first level, but this is a time limit, Zhuo Yu counted, this is about sixty breaths of time limit.
It's very difficult, Zhuo Yu has been queuing for so long, only three people have passed, and the rest of them are either up to time, or they fall off the stake, and some of them are seriously injured!
This Jingwu Academy will not be responsible, you can only blame you for not measuring yourself, some people see this scene, they give up the assessment, most of them are some pampered children, if you get injured and become crippled or something, your life will be over.
"How good would it be if I were a woman? The woman only needs to lift 300 pounds of stones, and the stake group is only fifteen battles, so she has more time. One of the people in front of Zhuo Yu complained.
Women's physical fitness is much worse than that of men, and it is not surprising that the assessment content is more relaxed than that of men, but Zhuo Yu is quite confident, after all, he has grown up running wooden stakes since he was a child, and the horse steps are very firm, plus his body has been tempered, and his muscles and bones have produced huge energy, of course, he still has the true qi of the inner family in his body!
At this time, there was an exclamation not far away, which aroused the curiosity of many people and inquired one after another.
"That Dachang Prince Long Tianqi actually took only one-third of the time to complete the first assessment content, this strength is really shocking! You must know that he is only sixteen years old!"
Zhuo Yu heard the reason, and he was also amazed in his heart, it was as difficult as an assessment for others, but Long Tianqi passed it so easily, this qualification is indeed talented!
Finally arrived at Zhuo Yu, and the news that Zhuo Yu, the blacksmith, was preparing for the assessment immediately spread, many people wanted to see what kind of reliance this blacksmith had, and dared to participate in such a cruel assessment, you must know that many disciples have been trained for many years, and they can't pass, let alone a poor blacksmith.
The person in front of Zhuo Yu did not pass the assessment because he fell off the stake, and it was Zhuo Yu's turn at this time.
After verifying his identity, Zhuo Yu untied the broken sword from his waist and placed it on the invigilator's table, and then slowly walked to the front of the stone.
At this time, many pairs of eyes were looking at Zhuo Yu, they wanted to see how a blacksmith could lift a stone of five hundred catties! Except for martial artists who had passed the cultivation, even if ordinary people could lift such a heavy stone, it would definitely be difficult for them to move an inch.
"He doesn't have gloves and no leather on his shoulders, so can he just lift the stone?" some people exclaimed, everyone who came to participate in the assessment knew the content of the assessment, so they were prepared, and some people even used heavy gold to customize soft leather gloves, soft leather on the shoulder, because holding the stone to resist on the shoulder can save some effort.
"Haha, I guess he can't afford it!" some immediately sneered.
Zhuo Yu didn't hear it, he rubbed his hands, took a deep breath, bent down, opened his arms, hugged the stone tightly, and his hunched waist suddenly went all the way, and the five hundred catties of stone were picked up by Zhuo Yu!
The noisy scene was immediately silent! Because Zhuo Yu picked up the stone very easily! You must know that this stone is uneven, if you hold it hard, your palm will be stabbed and painful, but Zhuo Yu is not afraid at all, his body is exercised through "pain"!
The stone was carried on his shoulder, and Zhuo Yu jumped easily and stood firmly on the stake!
Everyone was shocked again, the people who originally wanted to laugh at Zhuo Yu couldn't laugh anymore, but were jealous! This is definitely not an ordinary blacksmith, many people will stagger when they jump on the stake, not as steady as Zhuo Yu!
Zhuo Yu lifted the stone, and with a "bang", it struck the bell above, and then the hourglass also turned upside down and began to time.
Some people's faces immediately showed a look of jealousy, jealous that Zhuo Yu had a good body! Because it is very difficult to practice a good body, especially these famous disciples, most of them rely on pills and good martial arts methods to grow up, and it is very rare to use primitive methods to exercise the physical body like Zhuo Yu.
After the bell rang, Zhuo Yu put the stone on his shoulder, but it suddenly hurt.
"Damn, it was pierced by the sharp place!" Zhuo Yu scolded secretly, although he began to move his steps and move forward on the stake, he didn't seek speed, only stability!
At this time, many people's eyes were on Zhuo Yu, watching him move steadily on the stake, and at this time, a large red blood stain appeared on his shoulder!
The white coarse linen robe was stained red with blood! Everyone could guess that Zhuo Yu's shoulder was punctured! Under such circumstances, he could still move forward steadily by cutting stones, and many people gradually admired Zhuo Yu in their hearts......
The sand of the hourglass flows slowly, and time passes little by little......
"Knock" Zhuo Yu walked to the end and rang the bell hanging in the air, as long as he walked back, he would be able to pass the first level of assessment!
He shed so much blood, can he do it?
