Chapter 704 Lifting a weight is easy
After a few pleasantries, the gong was struck.
Meng Qiang said goodbye and returned to his post, while Liang Qu and coach Wei came to the front of queue A.
The entire martial arts arena is divided into two parts: an outer circle and an inner circle. The inner circle is five steps higher than the outer circle and is three feet high.
Line up outside the circle, selection inside the circle.
Five groups proceed at the same time. In one group, there are two coaches, equal in rank, who are jointly responsible for scoring and supervision. In addition, there are other senior officials or even masters sitting around and looking over, responsible for reviewing, judging, and stamping to ensure that there is no favoritism or fraud.
The candidates looked up with awe on their faces.
Although Liang Qu is young, he is representing the team as a coach today.
Father, teacher, examiner...
This kind of identity naturally comes with power, and unless you take the initiative to show closeness, most people will feel inferior to you and it will be extremely difficult to get along with you on an equal footing.
Coach Wei from the same group has a square face, a straight nose and a square mouth, but his words don't sound serious.
"Master Liang has spoken about the ten items of the martial arts examination. Should I speak about them?"
Liang Qu bowed and said, "Thank you, Senior Wei. I am new here and although I know a lot, I am afraid there will be mistakes."
"In that case, I will play the good guy today."
Coach Wei didn't say much. He stood on the central tiger pillar and glanced at the sea of candidates.
Wherever his eyes went, there was a flash of lightning and complete silence.
Wait until the place is quiet.
"You all must have been recommended by the provincial government to come to the imperial capital. You are all outstanding people, not ignorant.
However, if you don't say ugly things, ugly things will happen. Today, Wei will repeat the ten points of the military examination. Don't say that I didn't warn you.
First, you are not allowed to take the exam for someone else, impersonate someone else, or falsify your age; second, you are not allowed to take drugs or use violent blood or boiling blood martial arts; third, you are not allowed to bring magical weapons or ingenious objects to help you; fourth, you are not allowed to delay the time. Each person is only allowed one-fourth of an incense stick. If you exceed the time limit, the result will be invalid. You should do it according to your ability; fifth, no matter what posture you use, you must carry the pillar across the ten-step red line. During this period, the bronze pillar must not touch the ground, and you must not fall over..."
After he finished his eloquent ten points, someone raised his hand.
"Say!"
"Why don't you ask Master Liang to give you a sample?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole place burst into noise.
Not only the A-class queue, but also the other candidates and the talking coaches all looked at Liang Qu.
"So, I told you there would be troublemakers today!"
Meng Qiang talked to Wang Chao and pointed at the candidates.
Wang Chao laughed: "Who says he must be a troublemaker? Maybe someone has long admired Liang Qu and just wants to see his abilities?"
"I don't believe it." Meng Qiang shook his head. "In your twenties, who would be submissive if they have never been beaten? If there is not enough food, people will fight for it. Young people, limelight is their livelihood."
"You can do anything!"
The examinee's eyes lit up, and countless eyes focused on him, including the masters and court officials on the podium.
Lift your arms.
The little mirage dragon circled and danced in the sky.
Liang Qu came to the long table, took off his arm armor, clothes and belt one by one, put on only a white undershirt, long pants and a pair of Kui boots, and walked straight to the dragon pillar among the five pillars.
A five-clawed blue dragon hovered above it, with its head facing downward, looking mighty and ferocious.
A little white dragon landed on the top of the smooth cylinder.
Liang Qu moved the tip of his shoe left and right, rubbed off the loess, pressed hard into the bottom of the column, and then gently lifted it up.
boom!
A four-foot-tall Panlong pillar roared through the air, tearing through the cold wind, rising up, and then smashing down heavily on the palm of the hand with the force of wind and thunder!
Liang Qu's forearm sank slightly.
The entire dragon pillar shook off the dust, and as the dust dissipated with the wind, it rose up horizontally.
Wow!
"It's lifted up, it's lifted up!"
"One hand! Such a powerful force! Awesome, awesome!"
The common people had no idea how heavy the pillar that held the magical power was, but they knew clearly that it was a solid bronze pillar!
It is difficult for ordinary people to move a part of the thigh, let alone such a thick one!
"The coach is really the coach!"
"In the last martial arts exam, let alone dragon pillars, there were barely a few elephant pillars at the end of the day!"
"Master Liang is a well-known and important figure. He beat the barbarians of Beiting to a pulp. He is the best in the world, so he must be extraordinary!"
A martial artist from a remote village might not have as much knowledge as the common people in the imperial capital. The scene was noisy and lively.
Liang Qu held up the dragon pillar with one hand, his face calm and his breath calm, and stepped on the ground with his right foot, like a pagoda-holding heavenly king, looking around.
"My Kui boots are a treasure bestowed by the Holy Emperor. However, apart from being strong and breathable, and keeping you warm in winter and cool in summer, they do not have the ability to increase your blood. It would be unsightly to take them off in public, and it would be unsightly to step on them with dust. Since this is a demonstration, I will not take them off.
Coach Wei explained it in detail, and I would like to add some other things. There are five kinds of pillars: dragon, elephant, tiger, ox, and horse. There are identifiable patterns on the surface of the pillars. Even if they cannot be recognized, the heights are different. The horse pillar is one meter high, and the other large pillars are one foot higher.
For ordinary wolf smoke overpasses, nine out of ten times, the ox pillar can be moved successfully; the tiger pillar needs to be half as heavy, and the score is doubled; the elephant pillar is half as heavy as the tiger pillar; and the dragon pillar is twice as heavy as the elephant pillar!
In other words, anyone who can lift the Dragon Pillar has the strength of five Wolf Smoke Bridges!
It's no exaggeration to say that he was born with supernatural powers!
Remember, the higher the pillar, the higher the score, and the more advantageous it will be in the next selection. There is no need to hide your shortcomings or worry. The more talented you are, the happier His Majesty will be. If one dragon pillar is not enough, you can add another one!"
Add more?
Everyone was confused.
The dragon pillar is already the highest...
Before everyone could react, Liang Qu stretched out his toes again and raised them up.
boom!
The elephant pillar next to the dragon pillar rose again.
The little white dragon swung its tail, and the wind blew hard.
Boom!
The sounds of Huangzhong and Dalu shook the whole audience.
The two pillars collided with each other, leaving a small yellow ring in the middle and smoke and dust flowing.
The entire elephant pillar actually fell straight onto the top of the dragon pillar!
One dragon and one elephant!
"If one dragon and one elephant aren't enough, then add more! Tiger! Ox! Horse!"
Every time a bell was put on the ladder, a huge bronze pillar would fly into the air and a bell would ring loudly.
In the blink of an eye, five bronze pillars, six feet high, stood up, as stable as a mountain!
The sky is just right.
The sunshine is scattered.
Shadows cut through the crowd, and yellow dust flowed on the ground.
There were more than 10,000 examinees and ordinary people in the audience, all looking up to admire the spectacular scene.
Liang Qu lifted the six-meter-high pillar with one hand, took ten steady steps, crossed the red line, and put down five large pillars without any change of expression. The earth shook, and he lifted the heavy objects as if it were a piece of cake!
Gum!
The candidates swallowed.
Coach Wei's mouth twitched.
The bronze dragon pillar is so big that there may not be many people who can lift it with one hand in a martial arts examination. Many beginners in tiger hunting find it difficult to move it.
The five pillars are connected, and on the surface there is the strength of ten wolf smoke bridges, but it is so stable with one hand, more than ten times...
I've heard a long time ago that Liang Qu was born with extraordinary powers, and that his Wu Gu had transformed and awakened twice. Seeing is believing.
When the five pillars were dismantled, smoke and dust billowed.
Liang Qu put on his armor again, and the little mirage dragon coiled around him.
All the candidates' eyes were shining and their blood was boiling.
This is what a man should do!
How magnificent! How magnificent!
The noise like the tide intensified, until a few gongs and drums were played and the scene became slightly quieter.
Coach Wei calmed down and continued shouting.
"Anyone who violates the rules will be disqualified from the exam. Minor offenders will be shackled and put on display outside the examination room until the exam is over. Serious offenders will have their faces tattooed, be beaten 100 times, or be exiled!
If you step out of line now, you may still be given a lighter sentence. If you correct your mistakes during the assessment, there will be no turning back!
Of course, if you are dissatisfied with the correction, you can raise an objection, and the ten coaches and the senior officials will clear your name. However, if it is verified to be true, your crime will be even more serious!"
Waited for a while.
No one answered.
"Well, I hope you are really innocent! You are a pillar of society!"
Boom!
Coach Wei struck the big gong.
"That's all I have to say. Let's get started now!"
