Pushing the Three Thousand Worlds

Chapter 125 Bad luck
"Now, the selection officially begins!"

Tao Zian's voice echoed in the courtyard, and hundreds of teenagers in commoner or brocade clothes got serious expressions, and their hearts became more nervous and excited.

Although Tao Zian said that life is not just a road of martial arts, he can still be proud of studying and participating in the imperial examination gold list.

But they all came here for the purpose of being selected by the martial arts hall to teach exercises to become a martial artist. No one wants to lose their qualifications and have to abandon martial arts and follow literature.

Some of the smart youngsters knew that what Tao Zian said was just a beautiful scene.

He mentioned a few powerful fighters in his words, and when they saw the Lord of Shangjiang City who had no strength to restrain a chicken, they had to pay more respect and even bowed down.

But it is not so much that they salute the Lord of Shangjiang City, it is better to say that they salute the court behind the Lord of Shangjiang City.

As the lord of the city, the city lord of Shangjiang City commands all the military and political power in Shangjiang City, and governs the area of ​​a hundred miles around Shangjiang City, which is certainly extremely beautiful.

But these were all given by the imperial court. Since the imperial court can give it, it can naturally take it back.

The imperial court only needs a piece of paper to change the city lord of Shangjiang City from a high-ranking lord of the city to an ordinary citizen who no longer holds an official position.

At that time, the masters of the martial arts gym will still be in a detached position, but the master of Shangjiang City will no longer have power. If they meet again, I believe it will be a different scene.

In the same way, if the imperial court removed Guan Hao from the position of Xuanwu captain and made him a commoner, several martial arts masters would still pay respect to Guan Hao when they saw Guan Hao.

Because Guan Hao is not only the captain of Xuanwu, he is also a martial artist with the same strength as several martial arts masters, which cannot be taken away by a piece of paper from the imperial court.

A warrior's power, a warrior's status, comes from the warrior's fists, and from the warrior's tyrannical strength.

And this tyrannical strength is obtained by warriors through years of hard training, and it is impossible for others to take it away if it is not bestowed by others.

The choice is time-sensitive, and the power and status given by others can be taken away at any time, or the power and status that can never be taken away due to one's tyrannical strength.

The answer to this question is obvious.

They want to become warriors, powerful warriors.

To achieve this goal, the first step is to pass the screening and become a new disciple of Aoki Martial Arts.

Tao Zian led the crowd to the left side of the courtyard, where there was a row of wooden stakes slightly higher than the ground, a dozen or so steps away.

"One person has two chances. I want you to pass the stake within ten breaths." Tao Zian said.

It is not an easy task to pass a wooden stake more than ten steps away within ten breaths.

Everyone lined up in the courtyard like a long queue. Under Tao Zian's watchful eyes, they all jumped onto the stake nervously, and ran towards the other end of the stake.

Some people have a solid figure and passed once, while others stumbled and stepped on the air, and fell off the stake twice.

Tao Zian looked serious, and divided the crowd into three groups. One group did not meet his requirements, one group met his requirements but were not outstanding, and the other group met his requirements and performed well.

Standing in the team and observing everything, Li Qiu felt that things were not that simple.

A few people who performed well by passing the stake once in ten breaths were not classified into the third group.

In addition to meeting Tao Zian's requirements and performing well, the people in the third group all have one thing in common, that is, their footsteps are extremely steady, obviously they have practiced martial arts...

"Next..." Tao Zian repeated.

With a flick of his gaze, Li Qiu jumped onto the stake, his body was not steady but his steps were extremely fast, and he quickly passed the stake.

Tao Zian's eyes lit up, but the expression on his face didn't change much. He pointed to the second group.

Li Qiu walked to the second group and stood still, confirming the guess in his heart.

After everyone walked on the stake, Tao Zian turned around and looked at the crowd, his gaze finally resting on those in the third group.

Being watched by Tao Zian, most of the third group looked excited, with a hint of arrogance in their brows.

They passed the stake with the best performance. Even if the performance in the later test is not so good, I believe that the performance of this level will make them more likely to pass the screening than others.

A few people were different from the others, and they looked a little worried. They also saw some clues in Tao Zian's grouping. It seemed that being assigned to the third group was not a good thing.

Tao Zian looked at the people in the third group, tapped his fingers a few times, and singled out some of them. It was the dozen or so people who performed the best in the third group.

"Except for a few of them, the rest of you have been eliminated, go home."

Most of the people in the third group looked stunned. Shouldn't this sentence be said to those in the first group who did not pass the stake within the specified time?
If we want to eliminate them, they will not be able to turn out the most outstanding performers, right?
There are also some people who look anxious and dodge their eyes, as if they vaguely guessed the reason for this abnormal situation.

The small group of people who were pointed out by Tao Zian, although they didn't quite understand what was going on at this time, they still hurried away from the third group.

Most of the people in the first group and the second group looked a little nervous and flustered, and looked at Tao Zian with puzzled eyes.

Could it be that this time the Aoki Martial Arts only recruits the dozen or so people he pointed out to recruit new disciples?

Tao Zian said slowly, "You guys are different from others. You have all practiced martial arts before you can pass the stake so quickly."

"And you have practiced martial arts at this age, but you still can't pass the stake within six breaths, which is enough to prove that your aptitude is not good."

"You are eliminated, go home."

Tao Zian repeated again.

"No, it's not fair!"

"I've only practiced martial arts for less than three months!"

"I have only practiced martial arts for less than a month, and my aptitude is not bad!"

Hearing Tao Zian's explanation, some people's eyes were dim and their bodies were as stiff as falling into an ice cave. They were actually eliminated.

Some people looked aggrieved, as if they had been greatly wronged, and began to shout that it hadn't been long since they had just started practicing martial arts.

The other people shouted after moving their eyes. Those who were eliminated soon all claimed that they had just started practicing martial arts not long ago, and the scene was a little chaotic for a while.

Tao Zian's eyes turned cold, and he said in a low voice.

"Shut up for me!"

He exuded a frightening aura, and the shouting people were shocked and oppressed, their expressions were shocked, their eyes were frightened, and they all shut their mouths.

The courtyard became silent when it stood still.

Li Qiu's eyes moved slightly, which was very similar to the way Wang Bochao showed his arrogance to him that day, trying to oppress his mind and affect his strength. It seemed that he could learn this way from the Qingmu martial arts school.

It's just that I don't know if I can be taught this method by the Aoki Martial Arts Academy just by becoming a Taoist disciple.

Tao Zian looked down on those humanity.

"I know that some of you may not have practiced martial arts for long, but you can only consider yourself unlucky."

"If you want to become a powerful warrior, luck is also very important."

"And you're clearly out of luck..."
