Martial Cultivator Chapter 7: Stone Lock
The job of head catcher?
As a young man, it would be difficult to convince the public if he was directly appointed as the head catcher. He might also have his power taken away by several other yamen catchers.
Soon, the real job of being a head catcher will turn into an empty title.
Furthermore, the first rafter died first, and his previous performance was slightly outstanding, which attracted the hatred of people like Li Ying.
If you make a big splash during the appointment examination, you might cause some trouble.
The first place reward can be ignored directly.
On the other hand, the second and third ones can be considered.
Wang An stared blankly, thinking quietly.
I quickly eliminated the reward for second place and decided to take third place as my goal.
The reward for the second place Ghost Slayer Pu Dao may seem bluffing, but if you think about it carefully, it’s actually just that.
Who knows how long the sigils applied by practitioners on the sword will last?
A simple stainless steel knife, made by a skilled master, only costs five taels of silver. How can a practitioner add a talisman to it at will, and its value can rise to far more than fifty taels?
This reward seems great, but in fact it is probably a silver pewter spear head.
In contrast, if you get third place, you will pocket fifty taels of silver.
My family relies on doing odd jobs to make ends meet, so wouldn’t it be nice to use these fifty taels of silver to live comfortably for a while?
……
Soon after, the Yamen officials went to the backyard and summoned a group of potential arresters. After giving instructions, they divided them into three teams and went to lift the stone locks one by one to test their strength.
In the backyard, the sound of shouting and shouting could be heard all of a sudden.
Wang An then discovered that the first test was not to walk to the largest stone lock he could lift, and then lift the stone lock to pass.
Instead, people are asked to start with the smallest stone lock and add weight all the way up.
Bang! Bang!
One by one, the young men tried their best to lift the stone lock with blushing necks. When they heard the command of "release" from the invigilator, they quickly dropped it and walked towards the next bigger stone lock.
People finished the test one after another.
Most of them can support themselves to cross the threshold of 200 kilograms of stone locks.
But as soon as they passed two hundred pounds, the depth of their respective backgrounds was immediately revealed.
Wang An discovered that those who had practiced Da Qiang like him could weigh more than three hundred pounds with gritted teeth.
Even Li Ying, who seems to be weak, can lift a stone lock weighing 250 kilograms.
As for those who came from the county, most of them could barely cross the 200-pound barrier, and then they could no longer hold on and announced their abstention.
The two-hundred-pound barrier wiped out most of the people.
The three-hundred-jin hurdle pushed most of the remaining people down.
Soon, there were only ten people left in the field, still supporting themselves forward.
Among them is Wang An.
"Hey——"
Wang An deliberately held his breath until his face turned red and his neck became thick, before he could barely lift the four hundred kilogram stone lock.
As the invigilator shouted "let it go", he put down the stone lock as if out of strength, and looked around with the corner of his eye.
There are only seven people left.
I advance two more places and retire when I reach fifth place.
In the second test, as long as the Nushan Wolf can be killed, the average score will be firmly in the top three.
Approaching the 450-pound stone lock, Wang An moved his body while observing other competitors.
Two people began to try to lift the stone lock, using all their strength to lift the stone lock. However, they could not hold on until the invigilator shouted "let go", so they took off their strength and put it down first.
The two waved their hands to indicate abstention.
In this way, only Wang An and five others were left in the field.
He only needs to lift the stone lock and reach the time specified by the invigilator, and he will be the real fifth place.
Wang An lowered his arms, tested the weight of the stone lock, and began to 'perform'.
"Well——"
Louching down, he grasped the stone lock tightly, his face red as blood, and lifted the stone lock little by little.
Seeing the trembling stone lock, the invigilator was worried about him: "Is it okay? If not, just put it down and be careful to reach your waist."
Wang An managed to shake his head, still gritting his teeth and persisting.
After a while, the invigilator gave the order, and he immediately dropped the stone lock and breathed a long sigh of relief.
"How's it going? Can you still lift the five hundred kilogram stone lock?" The invigilator looked at Wang An suspiciously. Seeing that the candidate was shaky, he put up his hand to support him, "Okay, end of this. Take a break.
I have exhausted all my strength now. How can I participate in the second test later? ”
"Thank you, thank you, uncle." Wang An breathed heavily, but still did not forget to thank the invigilator.
The invigilator had a better impression of him and simply helped him to the sidelines and told him to take a good rest before returning to the court.
Wang Ancai sat down on the sidelines and was about to observe the testing of the remaining people.
Cui Yong has already gathered around with Li Ying and others.
"How come it's so difficult to lift more than 400 kilograms of stone locks after you have developed Ming Jin?" Cui Yong asked directly with a frown as he walked up to Wang An.
He didn't think Wang An was hiding his clumsiness just now.
Is there anyone who hides himself to the point of losing his strength?
After a martial artist who has just entered Mingjin has undergone boxing training, his muscles will gradually become coordinated, and his strength will begin to rise rapidly.
Five hundred pounds is just the starting point of this stage.
Cui Yong felt that no matter how bad Wang An was, he should be able to initially coordinate his muscles and have 500 kilograms of strength at this time.
I didn’t expect that it would take so much effort just to lift the stone lock, which weighed more than 400 kilograms.
When this happens, it can only be that Wang An has a problem with his own boxing practice.
"These past few days I feel like I have developed Ming Jin, so I feel a little tired.
I haven’t continued to practice boxing..." Wang An had already thought about how to answer Cui Yong’s question, so he went to Shuyuan www.zhaoshuyuaｎ.com and scratched his head.
"Humph!
You have this talent, but you don’t know how to practice boxing diligently. This talent is really wasted!
If you don’t work hard, God may take away your talent! "Cui Yong glared at Wang An fiercely and scolded him repeatedly.
He and the fathers of young men like Wang An are colleagues, and they regard Wang An and others as their nephews.
He will be merciless when it comes to teaching him a lesson.
But also with good intentions.
Li Ying on the side seemed unable to bear being scolded for being petty, and whispered: "Grandpa Cui Er, Wang An will learn a lesson this time, and he will definitely remember it.
He was able to develop Ming Jin so quickly, I think it was very hard..."
"He worked hard?"
It's okay if Li Ying didn't say this, but when he said this, Mr. Cui was so angry that he blew his beard and stared.
"The old man is nagging behind you every day, asking you to work harder, isn't it hard for the old man?
What a heartless bastard! ”
Cui Yong glared at Wang An fiercely.
Wang An smiled apologetically, already greeting all eighteen generations of Li Ying's ancestors one by one.
Why didn’t you realize that this little boy was so capable of causing trouble before?
Why does this guy have a temperament like a poisonous snake?
However, Cui Yong did not continue to reprimand Wang An.
It wasn't Li Ying's words that had an effect, but someone in the testing field caught his eye.
The waiting police officers around him were already amazed.
"Who is this person?"
"With each arm lifting a stone lock of five hundred kilograms, wouldn't his combined strength be at least one thousand kilograms?"
"Have you mastered Ming Jin yet?"
"This man seems to be from Dachang County? I heard that he has a family tradition of boxing skills!"
