Chapter 19: Practicing martial arts does not seek to click]
[We fell off the new book list, Wali was lost. No matter what, thank you for your efforts over the past few days! Our clicks: The recommendation ratio is very high, which is undoubtedly worthy of happiness and expectation. "Invincible in the World" is still very charming. Success or failure is nothing, it has just begun. Wali should put all his energy into the article, and good books will shine, right? I like this story.]

The heavy snow that had fallen for a day had stopped, and the valley was covered with ice. When the breeze blew, it made the bones cold.
The admission assessment of Juyan Martial Arts Academy is still in progress. When they entered the mountain in the early morning, there were tens of thousands of people. After passing the first level, only about 700 survivors are left to the valley here. They followed Gai Kui and other examiners to walk a long mountain road to the assessment site of the second level.
Looking from afar, a giant sword that penetrates the clouds stands in the distant forest. Its material is like stone and iron. The sword hilt guard is carved with a rock symbol representing the martial arts courtyard, and there is hidden light and spiritual energy flowing. In front of the forest is a large open space, with thousands of wooden tables separated everywhere. Under the snow, there are broken and rotten wood, as if they have been here for a while.
The examiners were waiting here, but they were very surprised to see so many people following Gai Kui.
This weather, coupled with the strictest this year, according to their expectations, it would be nice to have 300 people... When they learned about the situation in the first level, they looked at Xin Lie a little more, and what this kid did was unprecedented.
At the command, the candidates sat down at the wooden table. Looking at the dipping pen and a small bottle of ink assigned, many people were puzzled. What should they do next? The answer followed, and the examiners assigned each of them another test paper, because one thousand of the standard copies were printed in advance, which was enough to distribute.
"Did you see the test paper in your hand?" Gai Kui, who was sitting behind the square table in the top and in the middle, looked indifferent and said to everyone: "Pick up your pen, dip it in ink, and finish the test paper."
It was actually a literary test?! With a buzzing sound, the illiterate candidates felt cold all over, and their bodies were soaked in cold sweat for an instant. They couldn't even understand what was written on the paper. How to finish it! What should they do?
Gai Kui obviously knew that there was this problem, but he said indifferently: "The illiterate person can do nothing, but... zero points, eliminate." He raised his hand, and the chaotic scene suddenly became silent, and everyone heard his unquestionable words: "In short, the score must be at least sixty, and the highest of one hundred people can enter the next level. Noisy people, talkers, look around, and kill them."
He paused and added: "I remind you that you must answer all questions honestly! You do not understand the world of warriors and our rating methods, so don't be smart and be the person you want to be. Now start, and the papers will be collected in two quarters of an hour."
If you can't read, you will be eliminated automatically! The faces of those illiterate candidates have already turned pale. Looking at the words one by one, there is only one thought: "It's over, it's over..." Many people are glad that they have read books, and some even laugh secretly, and now there are many competitors missing!
However, Xin Lie didn't understand why illiterate people could register if they were warriors? Why didn't this level be put first? Could it be that more than 4,000 people who just died can read? It is obvious that many casualties can be avoided... Why, are they trying to save paper and ink? These are not worth a fortune!
Too many questions cannot be answered, and the answer sheet was very short. Xin Lie no longer thought about it anymore. He removed the snow on the table and started to answer this test sheet. The same was true for Cheng Lei, Fang Linger and others. For a moment, there was only the sound of the nib slashing around him.
"How do you think we should evaluate the level of victory in the battle?", "What kind of strategy is the best?", "In the day, the sun has east and west, cool and hot. What do you think has something to do with people?"...
Looking at these questions, Xin Lie thought intently, and after brewing, he dipped in ink to fill in. With the rustling sound, lines of words appeared on the paper: "Win without fighting, it is the upper; win every battle, it is the middle; retreat and defend to the death, it is the lower." "The best strategy is to follow the great way first, then integrate the heaven and earth, and adapt the law to the times, that is, the right time, the right place, and the unity of man." "The sun changes are the way of nature, and it is often said that 'works when sunrises and rests when sunsets', and people should adapt to nature to strengthen themselves."...
There are not many questions on the test paper. The previous part seems to be testing a person's knowledge, wisdom and comprehension, etc. Xin Lie answered one by one. Some of the insights are from the ** practice. Naturally, he did not mention the original sentence, but he was very confident.
At the same time, Cheng Lei answered in the first question: "Evaluate based on the comparison of losses and benefits between the two parties." Fang Linger filled in the second question: "Smart strategy." But in fact, many people don't even understand the original intention of the question, so the answers are various: "Let people know when it is daytime." "The sun is sunny."...
Soon, everyone saw the last two questions: "If you become a warrior, how do you view the relationship between civilians and warriors? How do you view the long-standing martial artist family? Do you think that among the three civilians, civilian warriors and famous warriors, who is superior and inferior? Who is noble and who is inferior?"
"Whether warriors or civilians do things for themselves." The young man named Liu Yu wrote the answer; Fang Ling'er wrote: "If I were a warrior, I would treat civilians well." Cheng Lei thought for a while and wrote: "I will respect talented and virtuous families." Lin Yi thought for a while, and Gai Kui's words asked him to write the truth: "Whoever has a big fist will be noble." Liu Yu filled out a disapproval of the words: "Famous warriors are the best, civilian warriors are the next, civilian warriors are the next."...
Xin Lie frowned slightly, and the first level flashed in front of his eyes. Young warriors running horses in the downtown city, Wu Ai, Sota, Xuanyuan Tianyu... He raised his pen and wrote: "There is no distinction between high and low, and taking weapons is a warrior, and putting down weapons is a civilian. The principle of using weapons in the hands of warriors is not to obey their status, but to regard good and evil laws."
"Why do you want to be a warrior? Is it for a good life? If not, what is it? What do you want to do the first thing you want to do after becoming a warrior?"
As they had thoughts, everyone's faces looked a little longing, and they all wrote their answers: "It's for a good life, I want to marry a beautiful woman first." "I want to buy a big house in Juyan." "Go to the brothel to have fun." Fang Ling'er wrote: "If possible, I will take my family to the city to enjoy happiness." Cheng Lei wrote: "Report the good news to my family and propose marriage to the second sister of the Wei family."
Luhu once asked this question. Xin Lie closed his eyes, knew his thoughts, opened his eyes, and wrote: "It is not only for a good life, but also for realizing his ambitions. If he becomes a warrior, I want to learn real martial arts immediately, strengthen myself, and pursue my dreams."
Two quarters of an hour passed in a blink of an eye. When Gai Kui said, "Time is up, stop writing!", all the literate people finished answering, and the illiterate people looked as if they were dead. More than a dozen examiners took away all the test papers.
Everyone continued to sit on the snow, waiting for the cold wind, watching the examiners above score papers and talk, and under different moods, they moved their stiff bodies slightly, and time passed by little by little...
The examiners have their own scoring plan that has been running for many years, and the higher the questions are, the higher the questions are, some get full marks, while others get zero marks. Blank and failed test papers are thrown aside. After all the test papers are evaluated, they are ranked in the top 100 and handed over to Gaikui.
Gai Kui opened the answer sheet in his hand, looked at it silently for a while, and said, "The result of this level has come out. Let me announce the list of 100 finalists, and the order is from high to low."
Here comes! Everyone was nervous. At least five hundred people handed in the paper, but only one hundred people passed! Fang Ling'er clasped the corners of her clothes with her hands and thought to herself: "Brother Xin Lie is literate, will he be the first?" The brave figure also emerged from countless boys and girls. The man was very powerful. If he got the first place in the literary test, he would be the best among everyone. Thinking of this, everyone glanced at him at the same time...
Xin Lie looked calm and didn't know what he was thinking. Cheng Lei, behind the wooden table next to him, was both concerned about himself and looked forward to his friends. He hoped that everything would go all the way, and Xin Lie's rescue and killing eagles would not affect the test scores...
As everyone looked at them, Gai Kui looked at the candidate's name column on the top test paper, opened his mouth and pronounced a name.
"Liu Yu."
Liu Yu? Everyone was stunned. Cheng Lei and Fang Ling'er pursed her lips regretfully. It was not Xin Lie! Liu Yu himself was stunned for a moment, and then realized that he was the first place! He had the highest score! Despite holding back his joy, the corners of Liu Yu's mouth could not help but tremble.
Gai Kui didn't care about their thoughts at all. He continued to read the list one by one. More and more people were happy, and the remaining people became more and more anxious. Soon, the number of shortlisted people exceeded fifty, but everyone still didn't hear "Xin Lie". From the beginning to the point where they were about to forget now, people who still remembered this thought, that guy was probably the kind of person who was just a little bit of strength and stupid!
"...Lin Yi...Ma He...Meng Qian..." After turning a page of the test paper, Gai Kui read it again: "Fang Ling'er...Cheng Lei..."
That's great, so good! Fang Ling'er was naturally very happy to be able to pass the test again, but at the same time she was very worried, which diluted the great joy. She couldn't help but look at the boy next to her, and she was almost at the 80th place. Why didn't Xin Lie yet?
The excitement of being shortlisted was suppressed. At this time, Cheng Lei frowned and looked at Xin Lie in confusion. How can a person know how to communicate his knowledge? Although Xin Lie has not finished elementary school, compared with his knowledge, insights, etc., Cheng Lei sighed that he was inferior to his knowledge, insights, etc. What's going on now? Did the previous rescue and killing eagles and rushing to the top of the head still affect the test paper rating...
Thinking of this possibility, Cheng Lei and Fang Ling'er were both anxious and helpless. Those who feared his force, Liu Yu, Lin Yi, Meng Qian and others who had no friends to do, were all secretly happy. Go back to their hometown and be a bull! And the girls who had a good impression of him were all frowning...
Xin Lie's face was as deep as water. He let out a sigh of relief, and his fists clenched tighter... He was not unhappy, nor was he without questions. Why? What are the answers of others? So much better than him?
"Huang Yu, Ye Yu..."
Gradually, listening to Gai Kui's voice, the audience's eyes gathered more and more at Xin Lie. It would be fine if others were not shortlisted. That boy? Fang Ling'er was soulless, with a pale face, and murmured: "Ninety-five, Ninety-six, Ninety-seven..."
"Chen Da." Gai Kui read another name and continued to turn to the penultimate test paper. This test paper was only 60. He looked at the candidate's name, looked at the zero-point answers to the last two questions, and read out a name.
