Martial Arts Examination Aside from the final military Strategy Discussion, which carries the risk of ambush, the other matches are purely tests of martial strength. Therefore, participants can enter in the morning and be released by evening.
On the first day, all martial tests except for the Combat Competition were completed without any issues. The rankings of the Foreign Students were mostly in the upper-middle positions, still with a significant gap from the top spot.
Among the top ten, the Liang Family secured two spots, with Chi Chen'an currently in fourth place and Qi Xiaopeng surprisingly taking tenth place.
On the way back to the Small Tavern, Qi Xiaopeng received a few praises from Huo Qi. However, after he finished his meal, Huo Qi grabbed his ear and launched into a scolding, dissecting his performance on stage. He was called foolish over twenty times, causing Qi Xiaopeng's previously lifted spirits to droop once again.
After Qi Xiaopeng left in dejection, Huo Qi complained to Qi Xiaomian, expressing disdain for seeing him so proud. It was just a bunch of kids fighting; he knew that Qi Xiaopeng had never been praised before. A few words of encouragement made him so smug!
Qi Xiaomian agreed that it was necessary to keep him grounded, especially since there were two major events ahead. The military Strategy Discussion was his weak point. Although he had given him some pointers over the past few days, it seemed that he wasn't grasping them well. Ultimately, his score would take a significant hit due to the Strategy Discussion.
As long as he has a ranking, you can arrange something for him later. Qi Xiaomian felt helpless; he had asked Qi Xiaopeng where he wanted to go, but he showed no interest at all. If he had no thoughts on it, then let him be; when he gets anxious, he'll figure it out.
On the second day, the competition intensified. In the team battles, they drew lots to form groups of three. By chance, Chi Chen'an was grouped with two members of the Liang Family, and they managed to secure first place in the team competition.
Qi Xiaopeng, however, drew the top-ranked individual and also ended up with a bottom-tier participant. Influenced by being paired with someone at the bottom, he still managed to reach second place thanks to his partner's strength.
Just as he was about to show his teeth in a grin, a fierce glare from Huo Qi made him behave himself.
Huo Qi remarked that this top-ranked individual was quite capable; looking at his robust physique, he was probably half a head taller than you.
Qi Xiaomian informed him that this was Yang Suo, adopted son of Lian General. He possessed immense strength and was a martial arts prodigy. The Lian Family wanted to promote him by having him participate in the Martial Arts Examination. The ranking was secondary; they just wanted him to make an appearance in the Capital.
But just making an appearance and working so hard? His performance in the Strategy Discussion was similar to that of Qi Xiaopeng. He could lead troops into battle but struggled with writing; no matter how much he taught him, it didn’t stick. Even Lian General feared that he couldn't write properly.
The importance of practical experience over theoretical knowledge is clear; what does it matter if one can't write? Who knows who will rise high in the future?
As for those two sons of the Liang Family, how do they fare in terms of Strategy Discussion?
Qi Xiaomian replied that Liang Shangshan had foresight and had long sought guidance. However, these two were not exceptional in writing skills; they could only be rated as average at best.
Among these individuals, Chi Chen'an had the highest chance of breaking into the top three. If he took risks, securing first place was also possible.
Huo Qi sighed as well; despite his thin frame, he wielded a spear skillfully and was still hiding his true abilities—he was quite clever.
If you have time, why not teach him?
I don't have time. The Old Man is just enjoying his retirement like Li Cu. He is Xiaoxiao's cousin, and every time you go to Chi Guofu to visit the Chi Kingdom, haven't they always treated you well? Hmph, you even sent work to your old man's head. Fine, for the sake of Xiaoxiao and Chi Yan, I'll teach you some practical skills for the battlefield.
