Chapter 546: The Final Exam
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Braydon Neal was a ruthless person who could suppress an era. No one could challenge the Northern King’s dignity.
Braydon placed the card in Heather Sage’s palm and said gently, “Take Ginny and participate in the competition!”
“Don’t tell me you want to be the head examiner?”
Heather’s eyes were filled with hostility. She knew that with Braydon here, Commander Sammy Dudley and Commissioner Bentley Johnson would have to give way to him.
Braydon pinched her little piggy nose, his actions filled with tenderness as he asked her to participate in the competition with Ginny.
Heather would definitely pass the following martial arts examination and would not be injured.
That was because when Ginny had received the card, Braydon had left something on Heather.
This item was enough for Heather to advance!
After all, Braydon had come personally to watch the martial arts examination, not to see Heather being bullied.
Even if it was a martial arts exam, Braydon could help Heather pass it.
The martial arts examination continued as usual. Braydon remained on the high platform and sat down lazily. His left hand propped up half of his cheek, his head tilted, and his eyes narrowed, looking like a lazy young master from a wealthy family.
Braydon sat down, and the people around him all stood up.
Everyone stood behind Braydon.
No one dared to sit at the same table!
The reason was simple. None of them were qualified to sit next to Braydon.
Even Sammy and Bentley were not qualified.
Braydon said lazily, “Sit down, everyone. What’s the matter with all of you standing around?!”
“The Northern Army has respect for their superiors.”
Sammy’s eyes were firm as he said, “Doing this is overstepping my authority. It’s like offending the commander. Second Master will definitely send out a hidden agent to kill me and see me as a traitor!”
The rules of the Northern Army were ironclad!
Every ironclad law was deeply ingrained in everyone’s bones, and they would never dare to forget it.
He could not forget it either!
Braydon shook his head lightly. He knew that no matter what he said, Sammy would not do it.
He raised his eyes slightly and chuckled. “Commissioner Johnson, why are you not sitting?
“Lord Northern King’s status is noble. The capital has already announced that you will be conferred the title of Garrison King and the title of the Viceroy of Hansworth. Your status is extremely high, and this subordinate does not dare to sit at the same table!”
Bentley lowered his head, his face sweating profusely. He said hoarsely, “You’re the Garrison King, and you’re like the God of War of Hansworth. The three armies follow your orders!
“You will be conferred the title of Viceroy of Hansworth. The nine departments and twenty-four divisions of the capital, as well as the commissioners of the twenty-three provinces of the world, will all follow your orders!” What did it mean when Bentley said the words ‘viceroy’?
The Garrison King represented the hundred-generals section.
The viceroy represented the civil officials!
Once Braydon went to Mount Tanish to be conferred the titles, the entire world would know about it and be shocked!
The civil and military officials of China would all follow one person’s orders.
That was Braydon’s orders!
It meant that Braydon would be leading the nine departments and twenty-four divisions of the three armies.
This was the true fate of the country!
At that time, it would be the power of the world.
This was the responsibility Braydon had to bear after accepting the titles on Mount Tanish.
Therefore, the commissioner of the Hamptons, Bentley, did not dare to sit at the same table as Braydon.
If Bentley were to sit side by side with him, it would be an act of overstepping his authority!
Therefore, he did not dare to. He could only stand!
Braydon sat lazily and smiled faintly. “Since you’re not willing to sit down, let’s begin the martial arts examination!”
“Yes, sir!”
Sammy turned around and made a hand gesture, signaling for the martial arts examination to begin.
Today was the last day of the martial arts examination.
It was also the last segment, the most crucial segment of the martial arts examination.
In the first two days, all the examinees’ talent, basic strength, and martial artist strength had been tested.
Today was the actual combat assessment.
The location of the combat assessment was not here!
It was not a simple guard and fight.
This arena was just a building decoration.
The real assessment location was the forest behind the entire venue.
This forest covered an area of hundreds of acres, which was enough to be used as an assessment venue.
Sammy took a step forward and said in a dignified manner, “The forest behind you is the place of assessment. There are three hundred metal tokens inside. Find the metal tokens and bring them here safely. You can participate in the next three provincial examinations if you bring the metal tokens. Regardless of your results, you can go to the capital.”
This was the martial arts exam.
“Then, why did you ask us to draw our opponents?” someone asked in puzzlement.
“When you enter the forest, you cannot form a team with the person you have drawn, and you cannot reach any tacit understanding. If you meet them, you will fight because you are enemies.”
Sammy’s voice was loud and clear, resounding throughout the entire arena.
Anyone with a brain would understand.
Some of the sneaky youths immediately realized that the Central Plains main team was trying to prevent the examinees from joining forces!
One could imagine the following.
The people who participated in the draw were all the most outstanding young martial artists in the martial arts examination in the Hamptons.
If these little fellows joined forces in the forest, they would form groups of three to five people, or groups of more than ten people. What could the others do then?
Once the situation of the strong joining forces appeared, the weaker examinees would have no hope at all. In the end, they would definitely be wiped out.
This was something that Sammy and the others would not allow.
After all, the martial arts examination tested one’s strength, talent, character, and so on.
If a group of people stuck together, how would the Central Plains main team evaluate their individual strength?
At that time, no matter how high or low the results were, there would definitely be people who would say that it was unfair.
More importantly, the martial arts examination wanted to assess the martial artist himself, not to see their ability to form a gang.
As for the ability to train your teamwork.
That was the responsibility of the eight institutions.
It had nothing to do with the combat examination!
Therefore, the nature of the martial arts examination was already very obvious.
On the last day of the assessment, all the candidates who participated in the martial arts examination of the Hamptons in these three days were qualified to enter.
In other words, this was their last chance!
For examinees with mediocre aptitude and low talent.
This was their only chance.
Whether they could grasp it or not depended on their own performance.
For martial artists, if their talent was not high, if their minds were strong and they had an indomitable tenacity in their bones, they would be valued by other forces when sent to the capital.
There was no other reason.
After all, it was impossible for all the fresh blood that was added every year to be nurtured as high-level figures.
They also had to nurture middle-level characters, such as a group of warlords, a group of War Gods, and so on.
A young martial artist with an indomitable personality, if carefully nurtured, might be able to become great in the future.
Even if he could not become a great person, he could become a warlord!
In fact, in every circle that martial artists came into contact with, there were examples of martial artists who were late bloomers. There were too many to count!
Then, Sammy looked at the time and shouted, “I hereby announce that the martial arts examination in the Hamptons province has officially begun. You only have three hours. Within three hours, martial artists without metal tokens will be eliminated!”
“Commander, what if I get two iron tokens?” The person who spoke was not an outsider.
It was Jeremy Norton, that silly thing!
