Chapter 99 First "Hey!"
Chu Linguang mobilized his energy and blood and used his upward strength to lift the 470-pound stone lock above his head.
Now his feet were sinking into the sand.
His body was shaking slightly.
But the stone lock was raised high above his head, showing no signs of being unable to hold up.
In the waiting area for candidates, Liu Quan felt his eyes go dark and felt that the 470-pound stone lock was pressing on his heart, making him feel suffocated.
Chu Linguang's strength actually exceeded him by a full sixty kilograms.
Ten kilograms more than Yan Chengdu.
Even Chu Linguang's current state is more stable than that of Yan Chengdu who lifted 460 kilograms. Liu Quan did not expect that the gap between the two was so big.
Jinshan on the side was also stunned.
"Crench."
Tie Zhennan crushed the walnuts and closed his eyes weakly.
Black Tiger opened his mouth wide and was so excited that he couldn't speak.
Guo Wei sat in his seat, his heart was lifted into his throat, and he quickly counted the time. After taking a breath, bang, the five-person stone lock fell to the ground. Guo Wei's hanging heart also fell steadily. His generous and rough palms were a little unclear. He took measures and finally patted his thigh gently, as if applauding Chu Linguang.
"Hahaha, senior brother, Lin Guang has made his mark, and he must be the number one in the rankings."
After Master Yan was shocked, he was the first to break the silence. As Chu Linguang's uncle, Chu Linguang overcame the test and won first place, crushing the children of the aristocratic family, and he was also proud of it.
After the king and the king looked at each other, they both sighed feebly. They had realized that Chu Linguang would become their number one rival, and could even compete with the aristocratic family for the top spot.
Dawu and Xiaowu also looked solemn. Chu Linguang won the first place in the Taoist test. They will meet in the arena of the Governor's Mansion when they take the provincial test a year later. They have no absolute chance of winning against him.
The head of the horse escort looked envious and jealous.
Two young men in the crowd remained silent and looked at Chu Linguang with extremely fiery eyes. They were Teng Qingshan and Lin Yuanfu.
A month ago, at the Guo Wei Martial Arts Hall, the two of them failed to take advantage of Chu Linguang.
They had already regarded Chu Linguang as an evenly matched opponent, but now that they saw that he was overwhelming the crowd, and even the disciples of the Governor's Mansion family were slightly inferior to him, the two of them raised Chu Linguang's status in their hearts a lot.
The examiners whispered to each other.
After three rounds, Chu Linguang defeated the others in the last round. This subject requires real strength and cannot be cheated at all.
After a few people exchanged a few words.
After Chu Linguang's name, he wrote "A-grade top grade" with a strength of 470 kilograms, temporarily ranking first. After Yan Chengdu's name, he wrote "a strength of 460 kilograms," temporarily ranking second.
In the sandy land.
Ji Hu stared at Chu Linguang fiercely.
He was actually crushed by a civilian disciple.
Shi Guangzhong and Chai Yaolong on the side also clenched their fists. Chu Linguang not only brought them shame, but also a pressure that could not be ignored.
Yan Chengdu remained silent.
But he also looked at Chu Linguang with piercing eyes. He did not expect that he actually failed, and he still failed in the exam, and lost to a candidate from a small county.
At this point his mood can be imagined.
But he, who seemed approachable and gentle from the beginning, maintained his demeanor at this moment and congratulated Chu Linguang: "Congratulations to Mr. Chu for winning the first place in the competition. Next time, we will compete again in sword skills."
"The competition is not over yet. It is too early to say whether we can win the first place."
Chu Linguang followed with cupped hands.
"Ah."
Yan Chengdu nodded. Chu Linguang's attitude of not being arrogant or impetuous made him pay more attention to it. But in the remaining subjects, he could not lose to Chu Linguang again, otherwise Chu Linguang would really be the top one.
The five people walked out of the sandy land.
The examiner said: "Liu Quan, Jin Shan, Lin Longkun, Wu Tiexiong, and Yuchi Zhuo are taking the exam!"
"Master."
Chu Linguang returned to Guo Wei.
"Have a good rest, straighten out your energy first, and don't make any mistakes."
Guo Wei instructed.
"Yes." Chu Linguang obeyed the instructions honestly, standing behind Guo Wei with Hei Hu on the left and right.
Liu Quan walked into the sandy land in despair.
"Ready for the third round!"
"Lift!"
The examiner spoke.
Liu Quan tried to lift the 410-pound stone lock.
The stone lock reached his chest, and suddenly it felt as heavy as a thousand pounds. No matter how much strength he exerted, he could not lift the stone lock above his head.
Seeing this, Hei Hu clenched his fists and shouted softly: "Xiao Quanzi, soften up."
"boom!"
In the end, Liu Quan failed to lift the 410-pound stone lock above his head.
Upon seeing this, Tie Zhennan left the examination room disappointed.
Liu Quan's strength is 410 kilograms. He originally won the first-class medium grade without any problem. Unfortunately, Chu Linguang's impact on Liu Quan was too strong just now, which caused Liu Quan's mentality to become chaotic and unable to exert all his strength. In the end, he only received A first-class grade.
Because the third round failed.
Therefore, the first-class low-grade ones were ranked last, ranking lower than Black Tiger.
Jinshan on the side was not as strong as Liu Quan, but about the same as Black Tiger. In the third round, he lifted a stone lock weighing [-] kilograms and received a first-class low-level result, which was the same as Black Tiger.
The first hurdle test.
Guo Wei crushed Tie Zhennan.
Two hours later.
All candidates have passed the competitive examination.
The ranking order was also posted by the examiner half an hour later.
Chu Linguang deservedly won the first place in the competition.
Yan Chengdu won the second place.
One is Lin Longde, a local candidate in Nancheng, who won No. 3 in the examination.
In the end, the Governor's Mansion family ranked among the top three, and only Yan Chengdu won No. 2.
Ji Hu, Shi Guang, Zhong, Chai Yao and Long were all ranked between No. 4 and No. 10. In this first subject, everyone saw in a trance that the Governor's Mansion family seemed to be just like this.
Even though Yan Chengdu finally lifted the 460-pound stone lock, he received various criticisms because he was ten pounds less powerful than Chu Linguang.
In the courtyard alley.
Master Yan prepared a large table of wine and food to congratulate Chu Linguang and Hei Hu on their good results and making the school famous.
After drinking and eating.
Guo Wei asked: "How much have you practiced even the sword-cutting technique?"
"Reporting to Master, I feel I have [-]% of the power."
Heihu said.
"I'm probably less than [-]%."
Chu Linguang was a little ashamed.
The value of the continuous sword technique has been perfected, but it has not been fully activated. The power of the fifth sword is superimposed, which is only slightly stronger than the fourth sword. It has been unable to integrate the power of the previous four swords.
The power of Black Tiger's fifth sword is already the combined power of the two swords, which is stronger than Chu Linguang.
"Just do your best tomorrow and don't think too much about anything else. With your sword skills, it's no problem to get a first-class grade."
Guo Wei was afraid of putting too much pressure on the two of them.
At night, Heihu went to bed early to replenish his energy and wait for tomorrow's swordsmanship competition.
But Chu Linguang couldn't sleep.
Carrying the knife to the front yard, I couldn't help but turn my wrist, trying to find the real secret to leveraging the situation. If I want to compete for the top spot, I must fully master the continuous sword technique.
