Yan Liqiang stood on the high platform. After those who had lost their qualifications left the martial arts arena, the entire martial arts arena fell silent for an instant, and then he raised the loudspeaker in his hand and spoke again.
"Very good, you now know what it means to obey the command in all actions. In the Kyudo Club, any slackness and laziness will have to pay a price. This is not a market where you can bargain, and this is not an ordinary martial arts hall. , after you take the money to join, someone will serve you. For the children of Pingxi County, I will not charge you any fees to join the Kyudo Club. You can eat, drink and stay here for free to learn martial arts and skills, but my request is to obey Order, the management of the Kyudo Club will be very strict, even stricter than that of a military camp. You can regard joining the Kyudo Club as joining the army. From now on, you will eat, drink, and have sex here, and it will be difficult to leave the Kyudo Club easily. During the year , you may not be able to go home once, so those who want to come to the Kyudo club every day to learn something easily and then go home to eat, live and enjoy themselves can now leave and walk on their own to perform in the martial arts field. There will be no one I'm laughing at you, because if you have this idea, even if you can pass today's test and join the Kyudo Club, in the next few days, you will not be able to stand the strict requirements of the Kyudo Club, cannot bear the hardship, and will be expelled from the Kyudo Club. Rather than being expelled from the Kyudo Club in a few days, it’s better to leave now and save yourself some face!”
After Yan Liqiang finished speaking, he paused, because among the team that was originally standing on the martial arts field, there was someone who was frightened by what Yan Liqiang said after thinking about it for a moment, and then walked out of his position on his own. He left the martial arts arena and was taken out of the Kyudo Club by people arranged by Shi Dafeng and Shengteng.
"And those who stay, don't be happy, because the vast majority of you will not be able to pass the test of joining the Kyudo Club today and will be eliminated. There are more than 10,000 people standing here today, but in the end you can There may only be one-fifth of those who remain. Those who have not passed the test today, don’t be discouraged. If you still want to join the Kyudo Club, the Kyudo Club will recruit new people next year. You can still participate in the selection again. You will still have a chance next year. , and those of you who can finally join the Kyudo Club, don’t be happy, because as I said just now, joining the Kyudo Club is not to enjoy it, but to be prepared to endure hardships. Only when you endure hardships can you become a master. If you want to learn Real ability can't be achieved without blood and sweat. If you can't endure the hardships of the Kyudo Club after joining, you will also be expelled. Do you understand what I said? "
"Understood!"
"Louder, got it?"
"I understand!" Tens of thousands of people in the martial arts field suddenly shouted.
"Okay, then I will tell you what the test is for joining the Kyudo Club today!" A strange smile appeared on Yan Liqiang's face, "You can clearly see the blue bricks under your feet. After a while, we will play a game. The name of that game is We are all wooden people. Wait a moment, when I call one, two, three to start, you stand on the square bricks and imagine yourself as a tree. Except for breathing and blinking, you can't do anything at all. Under such circumstances, you cannot make any unnecessary movements or speak. You will be like a tree when it is fixed on the ground. If you move, you will lose. Do you understand?"
"Understood!"
The "rules of the game" Yan Liqiang said were very simple. As soon as he finished speaking, everyone understood them.
"Now that everyone understands, well, get ready, one, two, three, let's start..."
As soon as Yan Liqiang started shouting, the entire martial arts field suddenly became absolutely quiet. Everyone stood on the blue bricks under their feet, standing still with their hands in silence. Yan Liqiang also walked down from the high platform and joined Shen Teng, Shi Dafeng and others led two teams of veterans to patrol the martial arts field.
Just a few minutes later, a young man on the martial arts field couldn't help but scratch his leg. Yan Liqiang pointed at the young man and made two gestures. A veteran who saw Yan Liqiang's gesture immediately walked over and asked the young man to The boy leaves.
As time went on, more and more people were discovered due to various small tricks, and they left the team one by one. There were fewer and fewer people standing on the martial arts field, but there were still many people who gritted their teeth and persisted. As the sun gets higher, big drops of sweat begin to appear on the faces of the young people standing in the martial arts arena. The sweat drops roll down from the foreheads of the young people down their cheeks. Drops fell to the ground.
At noon, the temperature began to rise, and the young people on the field were already hungry, thirsty and hungry. At this moment, a group of Yan family servants appeared at the martial arts field. While watching, tables were set up around the martial arts arena, and then the meals they brought were placed on the tables.
Mushu pork, braised meatballs, salt and pepper chicken, boiled loin slices, roasted beef with potatoes, salted duck gizzards, salt and pepper pork ribs, smoked fish, vinegar braised cabbage, garlic scrambled eggs, three fresh tofu, boiled dry shreds, green pepper stinky tofu …
It has to be said that the chefs of the Yan family are very good at their craftsmanship. As soon as the meals are placed, the tempting aroma spreads in the martial arts arena.
Just smelling the fragrance, some people couldn't help but turn their heads to look. However, as soon as their necks moved, they were immediately caught by the veterans patrolling the martial arts field and lost their qualifications.
"This... doesn't matter?" Shen Teng, who was sitting next to the table, looked at the table full of sumptuous dishes, then looked at the martial arts arena, scratched his head, and couldn't help but ask.
Under the gaze of countless people, Yan Liqiang, who was sitting at the dining table on the high platform, picked up a piece of ribs with chopsticks and took a bite. His mouth immediately filled with oil, "Don't worry, if they can't even withstand this small test, You are not qualified to join the Kyudo Club, just eat it!”
Shi Changfeng took matters into his own hands, picked up a piece of boiled kidney slice, and put it in his mouth, "Well, your cook's skills are pretty good!"
"Eat with confidence, there will be a show later!" Shi Dafeng chuckled and started using his chopsticks.
Thinking of the methods Yan Liqiang arranged later, Shen Teng smiled bitterly and started to eat.
As soon as a few people started eating, on the martial arts field, several young people immediately walked away with angry faces and stopped standing there to participate in the selection.
"Ah, someone took the initiative to leave..." Shen Teng said.
"Let them go!" Yan Liqiang picked up a piece of beef with a calm look on his face, "I have said before that they want to join the Kyudo Club. They are not here to be masters and be spoiled by others. They want to learn skills and go hungry on their own. You can’t see the master eating, and you can’t see others being happy when you are suffering. There is no such thing in the world!”
This test set by Yan Liqiang seems simple, but it tests the physical strength, perseverance, and character of those young people. If there are fewer people, Yan Liqiang will of course have other ways to test it, but because there are too many people, this is The lowest cost and fastest efficient screening method.
After finishing the meal, the sun was high above our heads and turned into a scorching fireball. On the trees next to the martial arts arena, the sound of cicadas began to resound like a symphony. The steaming heat on the ground completely exposed safety to the sun. The entire martial arts arena turned into a big steamer. The teenagers standing on the martial arts arena had been holding on for more than five hours. They were all sweating profusely, their mouths were dry, their eyes were filled with stars, and their spirits were slack. Some of them were already starting to sway. There were more than 10,000 people before, but by this time, less than half were left...
Finally, someone fell!
Yan Liqiang was well prepared for this. When he saw the fallen man, he waved his hand, and someone immediately came forward, carried the fallen young man to a room next to the martial arts field, untied his clothes, and poured in some heat-relieving and replenishing medicine. Decoction…
It should be almost time!
Yan Liqiang glanced at Shi Changfeng and nodded. Shi Changfeng understood and immediately left with the two teams of veterans.
A few minutes later, veterans from the two teams came to the edge of the martial arts field with several large bamboo baskets, entered the crowd of people in the martial arts field, and then dumped all the contents in the bamboo baskets on the ground.
"Ah, snake, it's a snake..." Immediately, a young man standing on the martial arts field screamed and jumped up.
"Ah, mouse, mouse..." someone else yelled.
The snakes lying on the ground were colorful and in huge piles, and they looked extremely ferocious. As soon as those snakes were dropped from the bamboo baskets, they were scorched by the sun and roasted by the heat on the ground, and they immediately began to squirm. Running around everywhere, it suddenly broke the peace in the martial arts field, causing countless people to scream and avoid them.
The rats that were poured out of the bamboo basket also flew away as soon as they landed on the ground, scurrying around the martial arts field.
But amidst such chaos, there were still many people who gritted their teeth and stood firmly on the spot, motionless. Yan Liqiang's eyes looked at those who were still standing in place like wood and rock at this time. The young man who was unmoved by external objects finally showed a smile on his face...
