On the school grounds, there was a lot of voices.
Suddenly, someone shouted.
"The Black Armored Guards are here!"
Immediately afterwards, the crowd became quiet.
All eyes turned to the distance, and saw the black armored guards walking side by side with the elders of Taojiazhuang, walking towards the school grounds.
"All irrelevant people and others leave the school grounds and wait. Young people of the right age who participate in the assessment stay here and wait for arrangements!"
Clan elder Tao Jinglu came striding forward, he jumped onto a high platform and shouted to the crowd.
The clan elder gave an order, and the people in the school field receded like a tide.
"Xu Ning, I'll be waiting outside the school grounds. If you're thirsty or hungry, come and find me."
Tao Yunchuan patted Xu Ning on the shoulder, and encouraged: "Just do your best, don't put too much pressure on it."
"Understood, brother-in-law."
Xu Ning nodded and responded.
Taojiazhuang's school grounds are very large, and the idle crowd receded, leaving only more than 200 selected candidates.
The school grounds are quite empty, but the outside of the school grounds is still crowded, and everyone is waiting to see the next assessment.
"Everyone!"
At this time, the patriarch Tao Jingxing also went up to the high platform.
With a loud voice and full of spirit, he said to the juniors in the village: "The black armor guards came to my Taojiazhuang to select reserve talents today. I hope everyone can go all out. Whether it is for yourself, for your family, or for the village , everyone should take the assessment seriously."
"Next, act according to the instructions of the examiners and abide by the discipline of the assessment. Anyone who does not abide by the discipline of the process will be kicked out of the school! Do you understand!"
"clear!"
The response of the young people below is also reverberating.
Facing the next assessment, everyone was full of enthusiasm.
"Automatically line up and queue up to these five tables."
At this time, the black armored guards who were standing aside before also started to move.
They had already communicated with Taojiazhuang about the layout of the school grounds today.
The accompanying black armored guards dispersed one by one and began to enter the process.
Xu Ning followed the dispersed crowd and stood in the middle of a team.
"Here's what to do..."
Xu Ning tilted his head, wanting to see the person in front.
Almost everyone is looking forward to see what is going to happen next.
The queues became distorted as a result.
"Stay in formation."
I saw a black armored guard approaching with a low voice.
At this time, the black armored guards had already taken off their masks, but the indifferent voices and cold eyes made the selected ones who had their feet up were quiet.
"It seems to be registering personal information..."
The process was very fast, and Xu Ning came to the front in a short time.
"Next."
The registered examiner holds a pen in his hand, next to a stack of papers.
After Xu Ning came up, he took out a blank page and started asking.
"Name?"
"Xu Ning."
"Um?"
Hearing Xu Ning's name, the black armor guard examiner was a little surprised, he raised his head: "From Taojiazhuang?"
"Yes." Xu Ning replied, "My brother-in-law is from Taojiazhuang."
The examiner nodded: "Age?"
"Seventeen."
After answering the age, another examiner next to the writing examiner stepped forward.
He grabbed Xu Ning's shoulder and groped around Xu Ning's arm.
"The age is true."
The person turned around and gave the examiner an affirmative answer.
"Is it true to measure age..."
Xu Ning thought to himself.
"Tell me about the external and internal skills you practice, and the corresponding state."
The examiner who wrote the pen asked again: "Answer truthfully."
Xu Ning paused, and did not intend to hide his strength.
"The strong wind saber technique is great, and the spring breeze is in the state of muscles and bones."
Xu Ning didn't mention the light feather bow technique, it's just a small achievement level, it's just an auxiliary skill for him, so he didn't mention it in particular.
"Oh?"
After Xu Ning finished answering, the two examiners raised their eyebrows.
Behind Xu Ning, a young man from Tongzhuang who was not familiar with him showed a helpless expression when he heard Xu Ning's strength, obviously feeling that he had no advantage in this assessment.
"Good talent."
A rare smile appeared on the cold face of the examiner who was writing the paper.
After recording the information, the examiner who wrote the paper gave the information sheet to Xu Ning, and he pointed out, "Go over there to participate in the first assessment."
"Thank you very much."
Xu Ning nodded in greeting.
After receiving the information sheet, Xu Ning glanced at it.
All the information just now has been recorded, except for that, the three columns of strength, technique and aptitude are still blank.
"Strength should pass the weightlifting test, and technique should be tested by external skills. How to judge this qualification?"
Xu Ning was a little puzzled, but now is not the time to dwell on this issue.
Immediately afterwards, Xu Ning went to another venue.
This field is full of weightlifting stones, he saw these when he followed Tao Yunchuan around the school field in the morning.
Sure enough, as expected, testing strength is also part of the assessment.
"This test of strength is simple and straightforward."
Xu Ning automatically lined up, and the person who registered before him was already taking the test.
"Anyone who has achieved internal strength must have strong physical fitness and increased strength. It shouldn't be difficult to lift this weightlifting stone."
Xu Ning guessed that this weightlifting stone should weigh one hundred and fifty catties: "If you can lift this weightlifting stone without practicing internal strength, then you are born with great strength, and it can be regarded as a unique talent. Although the test method is simple, it is more practical .”
Soon, it was Xu Ning's turn.
Another examiner took the information form from Xu Ning's hand: "Lift up this weight lifting stone with one hand and hold on for ten breaths."
"understood."
Xu Ning stepped forward and squatted down. Holding the handle on the weightlifting stone, he lifted it hard, then rolled up and stood upright.
"Sure enough, it's about the same as I estimated before, about 150 catties."
Xu Ning held the weightlifting stone with one hand without any effort.
"Okay."
When the time came, the examiner reminded directly.
Xu Ning gently put down the weight-lifting stone, and then took the watch from the examiner's hand.
On the original form, a circle was drawn behind the strength test, which obviously meant to pass.
After the first project was over, Xu Ning moved on to the next project.
"Xu Ning."
As soon as Xu Ning walked over, he saw an acquaintance whispering hello to him.
This person was Tao Qingping who received the Spring Breeze Jue with him before.
"Qingping."
Xu Ning also greeted in a low voice.
Because the examiner was watching, neither of them continued to speak.
For Tao Qingping to appear here, he must have passed the first strength test.
Either Tao Qingping was born with great strength, or he had cultivated to the first stage of the Mortal Realm, the Strength Training Realm.
If it was the latter, Tao Qingping must have something extraordinary to be promoted to the strength training realm in less than two months.
After all, not everyone is like me, with the super blessing of the panel of martial arts.
After a brief greeting, Xu Ning observed the surrounding area. There were all kinds of weapons on the edge of the venue, among which knives and spears were the most.
In the middle of the field, young people from Taojiazhuang were holding weapons and attacking the black armored guards holding long knives.
Those black armored guards are relaxed and freehand, with long knives in their hands, they are only used for defense, not for offense.
"Testing external skills..."
This is also the same as previously guessed.
"Xu Ning, I'll go up first."
Soon, it was Tao Qingping's turn.
He turned his head to pay tribute to Xu Ning, then picked up a knife and wrestled with a black armored guard.
"This Tao Qingping's gale sword technique should be considered pretty good in Xiaocheng."
Xu Ning watched from the side, thinking about it.
When Tao Qingping received the Spring Breeze Jue last time, he should have just achieved a small degree of Gale Wind Saber Technique, but now, he has obviously established a firm foothold in the realm of Xiaocheng, but he is far from reaching the realm of Dacheng.
"Next."
At this time, Xu Ning saw an examiner pointing at himself.
This assessment was carried out by many people at the same time. Before Tao Qingping finished, it was Xu Ning's turn.
Xu Ning also went to get a knife, and then handed over the information sheet.
"You don't have to show your internal strength when you make a move, this only tests your external skills."
The examiner was expressionless and opened his mouth to prompt.
Xu Ning nodded without procrastinating, holding the handle of the knife, and rushed straight up.
His gale sword technique has already achieved great success, and he has also beheaded horse bandits in actual combat before, which has been tested by facts.
"Um?"
The examiner narrowed his eyes slightly when he saw Dao Feng coming towards him.
Xu Ning's movements and eyes let him see at a glance that this young man has experienced actual combat, and he may have defeated the enemy with his hands.
"Sure enough, it's a great sword technique."
Just hitting three swords, the examiner knew it in his heart.
"stop."
The examiner quickly stopped: "Very good."
He drew a circle behind the technique column of the information sheet and handed it back to Xu Ning.
"The last assessment has not yet started, you go to the waiting area first."
"Understood, thank you."
Xu Ning also did not expect the assessment to be so fast.
Next, there is only one assessment left.
"What form will this qualification assessment take..."
Xu Ning was rather curious.
