Hengdao County, the main entrance of Hengdao Escort Agency.

Today is the annual recruitment day for Hengdao Escort Agency. As soon as the sun rose, the entrance of Hengdao Escort Agency was already crowded with people, and the place where Hengdao Escort Agency recruited new members was even more crowded.

It was almost noon when an old man with a kind face came out from the Hengdao Escort Agency.

The old man was wearing a black robe and a red armband on his left arm with two large black characters on it: Horizontal Sword.

The old man cleared his throat and said solemnly to the people outside the escort agency, "This year, Hengdao Escort Agency is recruiting new members. A total of 3,112 people have signed up, excluding those with bad records or disabilities, a total of 3,088 people. Now follow me into the examination venue."

After saying that, the old man turned and walked towards a large courtyard next to the Hengdao Escort Agency. The people behind him followed the old man closely and walked towards the so-called assessment field.

A Gu and everyone else entered the examination hall, only to find that the hall was empty except for two old men in black robes sitting near the door.

Next to the old man stood more than a dozen young disciples in green shirts, one of them holding a notebook in his hand, as if he was going to record something.

Thousands of iron knives piled up on the ground formed a mountain, which looked very imposing.

As A Gu and others entered, the green-shirted disciples began their guidance, asking A Gu and others to come forward and line up in front of the two old men.

Ah Gu only heard the first black-robed old man ask: "Name?"

The first person in line was a strong man, who answered in a naive way: "Niu Er."

After hearing this, the old man reached out and felt around Niu Er for a few times, then said to the old man next to him, "Niu Er, 210 kilograms."

The old man next to him picked up the knife on the ground and exerted a little force. A faint light flashed on the knife. A Gu next to him clearly felt a spiritual power attached to it and was amazed.

He suddenly realized in his heart that this was one way to use spiritual power. However, to use spiritual power to this extent, it would take at least a hundred or eighty years for everyone on Blue Star to study the technique.

"Li Jie, 140 kilograms."

"Wang Yuan, 180 kilograms."

"Lin Zhong, 1,440 kilograms."

As soon as the black-robed elder called out the name Lin Zhong, he looked solemn and asked, "Lin Zhong of the Lin family?"

Lin Zhong, who was wearing the same blue shirt as the other disciples, replied calmly, "Lin Zhong from the Lin family."

After hearing this, the elder smiled. When he was about to say something, Lin Zhong walked straight past him and went to find another black-robed elder to get his own iron knife.

The elder was not embarrassed, he just nodded calmly and continued to test the next person.

"Ah Gu, forty-eight pounds."

After the old man in black robe finished speaking, he continued to say to Ah Gu, "The Hengdao Escort Agency has been established for 4,980 years. The entry test has never been less than 50 kilograms of strength. If you want to continue the test, you must take the 50-kilogram sword for the test."

The old man paused and continued, "Let me tell you, kid, 48 pounds is 48 pounds. One more pound will double the difficulty, and two more pounds is basically impossible. Do you want to continue?"

Ah Gu frowned and thought that this body was too weak. Forty-eight kilograms of strength was indeed not enough.

But who is he? He is Tianwen!

There are too many problems in a lifetime, and it is not difficult to solve them one by one.

Ah Gu raised his head and said to the black-robed elder, "Fifty kilograms is fifty kilograms."

After saying that, he walked towards the second elder.

The second elder looked at him and laughed.

"Finally, I'm here to save you some trouble."

After saying that, he directly handed the knife to him without any spiritual power attached to it.

The elder said to him, "It's not that I won't help you, kid. Normally, a second-level spiritualist can condense spiritual texts. I learned the weight-bearing spiritual text at the second level, but the weight-reducing spiritual text is the most difficult among the second-level spiritual texts. It's too difficult, and I'm too lazy to learn it..."

When A Gu heard this, he really wanted to thank the old man for teaching him and for misleading his students.

It was already afternoon when the knives were divided, and the two old men in black robes showed no intention of getting up.

Instead, the old man who brought them in spoke: "Now, everyone, stand one person in front, behind, left and right, with your arms straight, hold the hilt of the knife with your right hand, and put your left hand under the blade to hold up the knife. The time limit is fifty breaths. If you are not standing up yet, you will fail the test."

After saying that, everyone started moving immediately, and within fifty breaths they began to stand as the old man had prescribed.

After the old man saw that they were standing according to the rules, he said to the two old men who were sitting, "Stand incense."

One of the two old men in black robes took out an incense burner from under the table, and the other took out a stick of half a meter of incense.

When you touch it with your fingers, the fragrance is ignited and a wisp of green smoke floats up from the tip of the incense.

The old man said to the people standing there, "The sword can only fall to the ground after the fragrance burns out, otherwise the test will fail."

After a pause, he continued, "Everyone, if you can't hold on any longer, you can put down your swords and leave. We will not force you to stay. The escort agency has prepared five coins for each of you. You can have some tea and take a rest after you leave."

After saying this, he quietly looked at everyone who was taking the test.

In a short while, people put down their knives one after another, took the five cents and walked out of the examination hall.

No one dared to curse, after all, they didn't dare to offend a force like the Hengdao Escort Agency.

There was only half a stick of incense left, and Ah Gu felt his arms burning, shaky, and filled with soreness and numbness.

However, whenever he couldn't hold on any longer, a cool breeze would sweep over him, and A Gu would feel that he had strength again.

This feeling made Ah Gu feel very familiar, as if it was just like...

Oh, yes, A Gu suddenly remembered.

This feeling is like the feeling of increasing strength after drinking a strength potion and exercising in the previous life.

They are exactly the same. Could it be that all five potions traveled through time with me? Ah Gu thought.

As time went by, more and more people put down their knives, but A Gu still stood in the center of the yard.

Although the movements are slightly distorted, they are definitely standard.

Lin Zhong, who was standing next to A Gu, looked at A Gu with some respect in his eyes, and the eyes of several elders also moved back and forth between Lin Zhong and A Gu.

Lin Zhong stood tall and straight like a pine tree, holding the 1,440-jin sword steadily in front of him. His eyes were indifferent, but his shirt was soaked with sweat. Upon closer inspection, he was not as relaxed as he appeared.

Ah Gu was trembling. The iron knife weighing only fifty pounds seemed like a deadly shackle, which was about to fall but refused to fall.

His arms were shaking all the time, but he always adhered to the so-called standard. The elders looked at A Gu with satisfaction in their eyes.

"Time's up, drop the knife."

As the fragrance burned out, the old man in black robe shouted out these heartwarming words.

Ah Gu immediately put the knife on the ground, then collapsed on the ground, gasping for breath.

Looking around, there were only a few dozen people left, all of whom were breathing heavily like him, waiting for the next instruction from the old man in black robe.

"The remaining thirty-six people will join my Hengdao sect and learn my Hengdao skills."

The old man in black robe spoke.

"After three months, those who fail to meet the requirements can choose to return home or stay in the escort agency to do some non-dangerous work. However, the treatment may not be so optimistic."

The old man said to the blue-shirted disciple beside him: "There are more than 40 rooms behind the courtyard, which will be allocated to them. The March training will start tomorrow."

After saying that, several black-robed elders turned and left, leaving the green-robed disciples to assign rooms to A Gu and the others.
