Wu Sheng: I can adapt to evolution

Chapter 145 Zhongzhou Martial Temple
"Brother, are you also here for the Martial Temple recruitment?"

The bone-penetrating dragon under Lu Ming's crotch was nine feet tall. Although it looked skinny, its limbs were slender and its hooves were wide. It looked very impressive at first glance, so several people took the initiative to talk to him.

"I am indeed going to the Martial Temple, but what is the Martial Temple Recruitment?"

Lu Ming was just thinking of asking someone for directions to the Zhongzhou Martial Temple when he heard someone bring it up and they started chatting.

"Judging from your appearance, could it be that you are from out of state?"

The clothing of Bingzhou people advocates simplicity and close-fitting clothing, with the wealthy at most wearing a cloak over it. In contrast, the prosperous Zhongzhou has more exquisite clothing and more diverse and bright colors.

Lu Ming could tell at a glance that he came from the north.

"The so-called Martial Temple Recruitment, every three years, the Zhongzhou Martial Temple will recruit 300 talented warriors under the age of 20. This is almost a major event in Zhongzhou. We are all here for the Martial Temple recruitment."

A young man in a sky blue brocade robe took the initiative to introduce himself to Lu Ming.

The Martial Temple actually recruits ordinary warriors, that is, those who do not have a martial body. Although their innate strength will be weaker without a martial body, after all, there is such a large population base, and there may be some geniuses with high comprehension and fast learning among them.

After these geniuses enter the Martial Temple, they will be trained for three years. After three years, they will be assigned to Martial Temples in various places to serve as deacons and be responsible for many miscellaneous matters.

Even though one cannot enter the core of the Martial Temple, for warriors from the outside world, this is already a great blessing.

Not only can you obtain higher-level resources, but you can also learn all kinds of exquisite martial arts, which is almost like reaching heaven in one step.

These people quickly became familiar with Lu Ming.

The young man in the sky blue brocade robe was called Wei Yun, and the other two were from the same hometown as him. They came from Lenan Prefecture under Zhongzhou at the same time.

These people look like they are all under 20 years old, yet they all have the strength of the second level of martial arts.

Generally speaking, if such a person were placed in Bingzhou Prefecture or County, he would be considered an absolute genius.

But in Zhongzhou, it can only be considered barely acceptable. They are not very confident in this martial arts temple recruitment.

"By the way, just now brother said that he also wanted to go to the Martial Temple, but it wasn't for recruitment. I wonder what it was for?"

After getting familiar with each other, Wei Yun asked with some curiosity.

"I'm here for a scientific expedition, and I'd like to visit the Zhongzhou Martial Temple while I'm here."

Lu Ming smiled and gave a random explanation.

"Hahaha, that's right. The Zhongzhou Martial Temple is different from other martial temples. It's not located in the city, but occupies the entire [Martial Sea]. Within the Martial Sea, there are countless islands, which are all branches of the Martial Temple. It's very impressive."

When this was mentioned, Wei Yun and the others also became excited.
After all, they are all from Zhongzhou, and introducing the Zhongzhou Martial Temple in front of outsiders makes them feel proud.

"Then I must take a good look at it."

Lu Ming smiled and nodded. He was really impatient to enter the Zhongzhou Martial Temple. He wondered if he would have the chance to eat a few more meat mountains. After all, the meat mountains in Bingzhou Martial Temple were too low-grade, only eighth-grade. There should be better meat mountains in Zhongzhou Martial Temple.

……

The so-called Wuhai is not a real ocean, but a vast lake covering an area of ​​thousands of hectares.

It’s just that people in Zhongzhou like to call big lakes "Haizi", so this lake is called Wuhai, of course it can also be called Wuhai Lake.

From a high altitude, the entire Wuhai Sea appeared like a giant hand pressing down upon the ground, encompassing an immense expanse. Standing on the shore, Lu Ming looked up, only to see the boundless expanse of the lake. Even with his multiply evolved vision, the other side was blurry, as if an invisible force were covering the entire surface, shrouding it in mist, light, and shadows, distorting his vision.

Because the lake is vast and the water is extremely deep, the entire Wuhai looks bluish-black, which is daunting.

"Every time I come to Wuhai, I can't help but feel awe. This place is the center of the world's martial arts, the holy land among holy lands, and the place that all warriors yearn for."

Wei Yun and others also stared at the vast lake in front of them.

If one could enter the Temple of Martial Arts, even if it was just the lowest-level menial job, it would bring honor to the family.

"Let's go. Walk west along the lake for about ten miles and we'll reach the assessment location."

Everyone watched for a while before shaking the reins and continuing on their horses.

Perhaps because they were getting closer to the assessment location, more and more warriors gathered around, and in the end it was even crowded.

Everyone was getting more and more nervous. Only 300 people were recruited every three years, and there were probably over 30,000 participants. None of them was sure that they could be ranked in the top 300 among the geniuses under the age of 20 in Zhongzhou.

"Brother Lu, we'll meet again if we're lucky."

They soon arrived at the assessment site. Since Lu Ming did not plan to take the assessment, they bowed to Lu Ming and then went to get their license plates.

The recruitment meeting at the Martial Temple was simple and crude.

There are only fifty arenas, and you will be assigned to different arenas according to the number of your number plates.

If you win, you will be the champion and will continue to accept challenges from others.

If you lose, you will go back to where you came from.

Only if you win ten games in a row can you enter the next round of competition.

This selection method is undoubtedly very cruel, but the Martial Temple wants to recruit true talents. Even if they do not have a martial arts body, some geniuses far surpass their peers through superb kung fu and excellent physique.

Lu Ming rode on his horse, watching the people fighting on the ring with great interest.

Even though there are many geniuses in Zhongzhou, once the age limit of twenty is set, it is unlikely that masters of the fifth or sixth level of martial arts will appear.

The most powerful group are basically around the third level of martial arts, but occasionally there are a few who are at the fourth level of martial arts, and they can basically be recruited internally.

Lu Ming's martial arts skills have improved a lot after crazy learning. Now watching these people practice martial arts, it feels like watching the younger generation boxing. There are too many flaws in their boxing and kicking skills.

Just as he was watching, he found that Wei Yun had already stepped onto the No. 6 ring.

Maybe it was just bad luck, but his first opponent was a martial artist at the third level of the martial arts realm. Among the tens of thousands of participants, there were probably three or four hundred martial artists at the third level. He had to face one in his first match, so he was just unlucky.

"Snapped."

After the two exchanged a few moves, the opponent suddenly elbowed Wei Yun in the chin. Wei Yun's eyes went dark, and he fell straight to the ground, then was dragged off the ring.

This kind of scene is very common. Among these tens of thousands of people, the vast majority are cannon fodder like Wei Yun.
