Chapter 87: Two Aces Completed
Although Taichang Temple officials warned against exhaustion of energy and harming the body, no test taker would accept such advice.
When faced with the opportunity to become warriors, they will do their best to use their spirit and bright ruler.
After the third bell rang, Zhou Yuan guided the spiritual energy into the Spirit Gathering Ruler as instructed.
Guiding spiritual energy is the most basic threshold. The only difference is that some people can guide it quickly and others can guide it slowly.
Zhou Yuan has the full-level ‘Golden Toad Qi-nurturing Technique’, which circulates the pulse of the sky and circulates Qi throughout the body. He is one of those players who can conduct Qi very quickly.
He first introduced 30% of the blue energy produced by drinking the spirit gourd liquid into it, and the spirit gathering ruler instantly lit up twice every seven seconds.
Facts have proved that his own talent for taking qi is not excellent, but it is not bad.
Then he consumed another 6% of the mana and pushed the scale of the Spirit Gathering Ruler to a position two degrees below the eighth quarter.
The officials of Taichang Temple and the generals of the Forbidden Army were very sincere. After seeing that the scale no longer changed, they took notes and took notes. After eight ticks, they hit the mark.
Because the test takers have the right to know their own results and to supervise each other with the recorder.
Therefore, after the officials of Taichang Temple and the generals of the Forbidden Army completed the records, they unfolded the documents for Zhou Yuan to take a look.
"Medium A?"
"Sima Zhou, please look carefully. The eighth grade is the middle grade, and the ninth grade is the top grade. Our records are correct."
"The Recorder misunderstood, I'm just curious if anyone can really get the top grade?"
"Of course it does. It's rare to get a top grade in the New Yuanling Examination, but there are always top grades in the imperial public examinations.
Zhou Simamo believes that the Chinese League One is insufficient, and last year's New Yuanling Examination was the championship for the Chinese League One. "
The words of the Taichang Temple official gave Zhou Yuan a new understanding of his talent. He must have passed the test if he could achieve two times in seven quarters without cheating.
But there is still a big gap between him and those fierce men who can push for more than nine quarters by just swallowing some medicine.
"Thank you, Counselor, for clarifying my doubts. I'm very satisfied if I can get into the first armor. How dare I expect to get the full merit of the first armor?"
Zhou Yuan's words represent the sentiments of many test takers. As long as they don't fall into the second grade, even if they are at the bottom of the first grade, it is an acceptable result.
But the reality is often cruel. In a spiritual test, most people will be ranked A, followed by B, middle B will be rare, and A will be rare.
Although the imperial court does not record any gain or loss, there are still broad categories of A and B.
As a result, the candidates who did not make it to the first class would be embarrassed.
If they don't get an A-level promotion evaluation in the subsequent spiritual examination, they will have no luck in the new spiritual examination.
Of course, raising the rating is the choice of the top B, but the bottom B only lights up for four quarters and a few degrees, and there is almost no possibility of turning over.
Fortunately, lower armor with a few degrees of seven quarters is the mainstream test, so after the inspiration test, the overall condition of the test participants is pretty good.
After Zhou Yuan met with the generals from Huaishuo and Shuozhou, he found out that almost all of them had first-class grades, and only Captain Lu from the Huaizhou camp got a top-grade B.
Thinking about it, if these generals didn't have some talent, it would be impossible for them to gain meritorious service in bloody battles.
After the four senior officials of the imperial court, the Crown Prince of Wei, the Jiuqing Weiwei, and the generals of the two towns, reviewed the results, the first examination was over.
Before leaving the palace, the Crown Prince of Wei also specially encouraged the second-class candidates.
"Those who do not perform well must have reasons for fear. This is an innate personality and is really difficult to overcome.
But what a warrior needs to show off his power is to be self-disciplined and keep his will. You should train more and hone your mind. "
"In addition, the imperial court does not care about the merits of the country's scholars in selecting them. There is no essential difference between the merits of seven and nine degrees and eight.
For this reason, those who are in the top grade should be careful and not be arrogant.
Martial arts is not just a matter of literature, but we will eventually enter the battlefield and fight fiercely. We will encourage you all and wish you good luck in martial arts. "
The Crown Prince of Wei said well, but he had no intention of hosting a banquet. Instead, he asked the test takers to go back and rest as soon as possible and take the spirit control test tomorrow.
Such high-stress continuous testing is a great test for the mentality.
Fortunately, the military attache in Beijing provided sleeping aids, which saved the generals from various states who were overwhelmed with stress and could not sleep.
Therefore, when taking the test the next day, the generals from various states were in a very good state of mind, but the good state ended there.
Because the second spirit control test will last for four consecutive days, the participants need to stay in the Yanwu Palace for three nights.
After Zhou Yuan entered the palace again, the Forbidden Army general gave him a copy of the martial arts skill [Qi Sword Finger].
This is a martial art that condenses energy into the fingers and displays the aura outward. The difficulty is not in releasing it, but in the degree of condensation.
For this reason, [Qi Sword Finger] is a martial art that is easy to learn but difficult to master. The range of the technique and the strength of the attack power all depend on the degree of condensation of the spiritual energy.
This is good news for Zhou Yuan. He is most afraid of encountering martial arts that are difficult to learn and test his quick wits.
"General, please rest assured and practice your martial arts while we wait outside."
In order to provide the participants with a better training space, Taichang Temple officials and the Forbidden Army generals left Zhou Yuan's room.
At this point, some family assistance can be used with confidence.
Anyone who has a precious elixir that increases concentration can use it with peace of mind, and the court will not pursue any external aid.
This is obviously an extra point channel for the nobles' children. If they don't have two good things in their hands, how can they compete with the active generals.
The disadvantages of the generals in various states also appeared at this moment. There were so many of them that it was impossible for the military camp to distribute some precious spiritual items to each of them.
Therefore, the descendants of wealthy families and the noble children must start to exert their efforts.
This is also their only chance to suppress active generals.
Otherwise, by the third actual battle, active generals who are brave and good at fighting and dare to fight will become the dominant group.
After all, they all fought bloody battles, accumulated merits, and caught up level by level. Actual combat was their strength.
Zhou Yuan's side, like the generals in various states, does not have too precious amplification elixirs, and he does not need those things.
After spending two days to skill up [Qi Sword Finger], he used his accumulated experience to upgrade it to level two.
He estimated that as long as he didn't encounter noble disciples with special treasures, the normal increase in elixirs would not be as good as his second-level skills.
Early on the fourth day, after breakfast, the bell for the martial arts test rang on time.
The officials of Taichang Temple and the generals of the Forbidden Army entered the room together. After measuring the distance with the standard short staff in their hands, they drew two red lines with a red pen.
Then the Imperial Guard soldiers came in and carried a bronze mirror as high as one person to the red line.
Zhou Yuan could see clearly that the name of the bronze mirror was displayed, [Duowen Bronze Mirror].
"General, please stand at one end of the red line and show your strength with a mirror."
After hearing this, Zhou Yuan walked to the red line, calmed down for a moment, and used the skill [Qi Sword Finger] in front of the bronze mirror very solemnly.
Clang, after the crisp sound, layers of ripples appeared in the bronze mirror, which were chaotic at first and then gradually fluctuated in an orderly manner.
Ripples rippled one after another, slowly showing a three-stripe pattern. After a while, the ripples dissipated, and the bronze mirror returned to its original appearance.
"The first line is called C, the second line is called B, the third line is called A, and then it is added to the armor.
Jingan Zhou Yuan has three patterns, which are for Class A spirit control. The general may have objections. "
"Nothing, accurate."
"Congratulations to the general. You have three tattoos without borrowing any external objects. The general's talent for controlling spirits is truly rare."
Zhou Yuan didn't know at this time that he underestimated the arrogance of the noble disciples.
Several noble disciples have achieved results of three lines or above with the two-way blessing of treasures and elixirs.
But the prince of Wei was eyeing his record.
"Two armors are completed, can we get three armors?"
