Chapter 358 Imperial Examination (Military Examination)
After dealing with the matter, Qin Wu paid no further attention to it.
These are all minor matters to him.
The group continued to stroll around the streets, and around noon they found a restaurant and had a meal.
He then went straight back to the Prince's Palace.
Throughout the journey, Qin Wu had been using his divine sense to observe the examinees.
He did see quite a few promising talents, and he remembered them and had his guards investigate them.
The list was then sent to the Prince of Zhennan, who was instructed to send people to pay close attention to it.
Not long after, King Wei received an order from King Wu of Qin to hold a banquet at the Zhuangyuan Tower, inviting many famous candidates to attend.
They also sent people to carefully observe the situation of these people.
half year later.
Candidates from all over the Central Region have also arrived.
An unprecedented scientific expedition has officially begun.
The civil and military examinations were launched simultaneously.
The entire examination hall was surrounded by people from the four legions, and everyone underwent strict checks.
On the first day of the exam, Qin Wu also came to the martial arts exam site.
He wanted to see if there were any talented people among them.
For Qin Wu, who came from a military background, he placed even greater emphasis on martial arts practitioners.
As for the civil service examination, he ordered the two prime ministers to supervise it.
They also secretly dispatched agents from the Net to monitor the situation, ensuring that no one was allowed to cheat.
To this end, Qin Wu even had a large isolation array set up in the examination hall to prevent anyone from helping him cheat by transmitting messages.
Of course, under the influence of his divine sense, it was impossible for anyone to transmit their voice silently.
However, there are always some people who have a different attitude, thinking that they are smart enough not to be discovered, and in the end they can't even get into the exam room.
He was even imprisoned, and his family may be held accountable.
No one expected Qin Wu to be so ruthless, leaving no room for anyone.
Inside the martial arts examination hall.
On the high platform, Qin Wu sat upright on a cloud, looking down at the arena below.
"Your Highness, all the candidates are ready."
The chief examiner approached Qin Wu, bowed, and reported to him.
"Yes, remind them that no external objects are allowed in the examination room."
Qin Wu gave a brief explanation.
"Yes."
The examiner accepted the order and withdrew.
Afterwards, the rules of the examination room were reiterated, and the martial arts examination began.
The initial tests always check all candidates' basic knowledge.
Qin Wu and the four others, including the Prince of Zhennan, looked down at the examination hall from the high platform.
"Your Highness, what do you think of these candidates?"
The Prince of Zhennan smiled and said to Qin Wu.
Since there's not much to do right now, we can chat about these test takers.
"There are some good ones, but some people's cultivation is entirely based on the accumulation of resources. Such people have an unstable foundation and cannot go far."
Qin Wu said with a faint smile.
They even brought out a tea set, and everyone sat down together to enjoy the tea and watch the test.
The test time went by quickly.
With thousands of test sites conducting tests simultaneously, the test was completed in just one day, even with a large number of participants.
Some people were eliminated directly during the testing phase.
Their cultivation levels were built entirely up with resources, so their foundation was unstable.
Next came the character test, an illusion array set up by Qin Wu to test each person's character.
Soon, some people were eliminated by the illusion array.
"It seems that this year's candidates are lacking in mental fortitude!"
The Prince of Zhenbei frowned slightly as he watched the candidates being eliminated one after another.
He was somewhat disappointed with the performance of these candidates, and even asked if he could select some to serve in his Zhenbei Army.
"No rush, let's take another look."
The Prince of Zhennan said with a faint smile.
In fact, whether it was them or the generals below, they all wanted to see if there were any promising talents.
Now that Eastern Qin has seemingly achieved unification, it may not need as many military generals.
However, the generals of Qin Wu's lineage all knew that if their prince succeeded, a major battle was inevitable in the future.
Therefore, this time, not only did the five princes, including Qin Wu, come, but also many fierce generals from the army.
"Your Highness, is there anything you've taken a fancy to? Don't keep it from us!"
The Prince of Zhennan smiled and looked at Qin Wu, as only Qin Wu among them had the authority to see the current situation within the illusion array.
They were well aware that Qin Wu knew a lot of things that they didn't, and that his vision was superior to theirs.
"Yes, Your Highness, we have followed you for many years, please don't hold back!"
The King of Zhendong also said with a smile.
The four of them followed Qin Wu for over a hundred years, making them the second group of veteran generals to follow him.
In addition, due to his status, he was not as reserved when speaking to Qin Wu as he was with others.
"There's no point in telling you now, just see for yourselves!"
"There might be a surprise later."
Qin Wu didn't tell them directly, but instead asked them to wait.
He did indeed discover quite a few promising talents.
He had sent people to keep an eye on these people before, and they had performed very well in both the previous tests and the current test of the illusion array.
Of course, their mindset is not perfect either; they need countless trials to perfect it.
As long as they can discover their shortcomings after this experience and correct them, their future prospects are limitless.
However, no one can say for sure until they grow up.
However, if they can pass this martial arts exam, Qin Wu wouldn't mind giving them a chance.
Upon hearing Qin Wu's words, the group exchanged smiles and didn't ask any further questions.
Everyone looked down at the assessment panel again.
Two-thirds have already been eliminated in just half a day.
After everyone had completed the assessment, only one-fifth of the candidates remained, and out of more than ten million candidates, only about two million remained.
The next step is the third assessment, which will eliminate more than nine out of ten people.
"Come up."
Just as the chief examiner was about to announce the third round of assessments, Qin Wu interrupted him with a telepathic message.
"Your Majesty."
The chief examiner came up to the high platform.
"Listen up, all candidates, this third round is changing from one-on-one to free-for-all."
"On the battlefield, there is never such a thing as fighting alone. When selecting generals, we in Dongqin look for generals who can take the head of the enemy general from among thousands of troops. If you cannot survive in the chaos of battle, you are not a general."
Qin Wu's voice rang in everyone's ears.
None of the candidates expected that the third assessment would be changed so drastically.
Moreover, the rules were personally changed by this regent, the Divine Martial King.
They were still preparing for one-on-one battles, but now that the assessment has changed, they need to be more careful.
Those who remain are not weaklings; in this chaotic battle, not everyone can guarantee a 100% chance of advancing.
Everyone started to worry.
"Alright, take a half-hour break. The third test will begin in half an hour."
"Go and prepare!"
After Qin Wu finished speaking, he instructed the chief examiner to make preparations.
"Yes, I will arrange it immediately."
After the examiner finished speaking, he quickly withdrew.
After all, there is only half an hour, and the arena needs to be rearranged.
