Chapter 388: Martial Arts Examination _1

With the passing of the first lunar month, Third Master Jiang took the children to the county seat for the examination.

The candidates first went to Wucheng Temple to worship the statue of the Grand Duke and then took the tests on essay composition and discussion, followed by target shooting, riding and shooting, marching and shooting, high leap, and weightlifting. Finally, there was a review of their height, appearance, speech, and deportity.

If the score for each item reached five, it was considered excellent.

The examination was held in two age groups: twelve to sixteen and sixteen to twenty.

Jiang Wu was young and obviously could not compete with those older in terms of height, which put him at a disadvantage somewhat.

However, he was very brave and stronger than the other children. His riding and shooting was impeccable, and he quickly won first place in the competition.

Huzi and Xiaoyao were not far behind, winning second and third place in their age group, respectively.
