When Li Hui heard this, he rolled his eyes and thought to himself, 'What kind of trick is this old fox playing this time?'

He raised his head to look at the sun, pinching his fingers as he slowly said, "In order to show fairness, all the examinees below the stage who are recommended by the court's officials to participate in the Hall Competition will participate. What do you think, Great General?"

Li Hui bluntly replied, "I thought there was no need for that."

Even though he was not angry at the results, his smile was powerful. "But I think it's very necessary!" He then ordered his subordinates to announce the additional matches.

Mo Qingfeng and the others were already waiting for the results to be announced, but to think that they would receive an additional result. Of the twenty-five people on the field, six were recommended by the senior officials of the imperial court. Therefore, the six people were chosen to participate. On the surface, it was said that the additional tests were done for the sake of fairness, but anyone with a discerning eye would be able to tell that he was aiming for Mo Qingfeng. Mo Qingfeng silently cursed in his heart. This old fox was too obvious against him, he wasn't afraid of Luo Ren's words. Then, he thought, "So what if I am someone with status? So what if I am someone with status?" He was not on good terms with Li Hui, and he was recommended by Li Hui.

Mo Qingfeng had watched a preliminary test before, but it was just a run with heavy loads. Each of them carried a basket on their back, and the basket was filled with sand as they ran around the field. The time limit was one incense stick. Even though he was dissatisfied with the additional tests, the other party was the main examiner. Thus, Mo Qingfeng could do nothing about it. Yu Lin's Forbidden Army's training field wasn't particularly large, but it wasn't small either. It wasn't easy to circle the field empty-handed within the time it took for an incense stick to burn, not to mention carrying a basket of silt.

A few examinees carried the basket on their back. Mo Qingfeng felt that the weight of the basket wasn't right the moment he picked it up, but now that he had reached this step, he had to grit his teeth and endure it.

A gong sounded from the door as several examinees rushed over. Those who were able to be recommended to the high officials were all practitioners. Most of them were experts in external martial arts, so a small basket of sand was naturally a small problem. Not long after, Mo Qingfeng fell behind. Amongst the few of them, he was the thinnest. Carrying that basket on his back made him feel especially heavy.

Mo Qingfeng was not in a hurry to catch up. Instead, he walked forward at a steady pace. When he was young, he practiced the Three Vows of the Third or Ninth Summer, just like he did with his legs. At that time, not only did he have to carry a heavy load on his back, but he also had to tie an iron sandbag on his legs. After running for a few years, he had untied the sandbag and immediately felt as light as a swallow.

After half an incense worth of time, the people who were previously running fiercely started to slow down, but Mo Qingfeng's speed did not change at all. He controlled his breathing, and placed his hands on his basket in an attempt to lighten the burden on his lungs. Initially, he had only taken the martial arts exam to complete his family's mission. He also wanted to help Qin Xiaoliu as long as he could get into the top three. He didn't care about the rankings, but this reward made him feel like he was maliciously suppressing him. Of course, this suppression was not aimed at him, but at the power backing him. However, to Mo Qingfeng, this was a huge insult. Initially, he had only come to Li Hui to save some effort. He did not mind leaving the relationship, but there was one thing that mattered. Even if it did, he would not be worse off than others, or even stronger.

As more and more people began to stagger and slow down, Mo Qingfeng's speed did not change. He did not slow down, and of course he did not increase his speed either. Now that he had surpassed four people, he was in second place, and the person in first place was getting closer and closer to him. However, Li Hui was still able to hear it. The corner of his mouth pulled out a trace of a smile, and he proudly glanced at Feng Li.

After the incense stick had burnt down, the four returned to the finish line.

After Mo Qingfeng had passed the finish line, he did not immediately stop. Instead, he continued to run for a short distance, but his speed became slower and slower. He took off the basket on his shoulder, and when no one was looking, he scooped up a handful of sand from the basket.

A horizontal and a step shot is basically a fixed target and a moving target. If Mo Qingfeng could shoot out nine red stars, these two would be even more easy to deal with. What Yu Lin Wei had to bear with him was a bronze body iron bow that he had never passed in his previous exams. Although it was already light, it was still frighteningly heavy.

Mo Qingfeng tested his strength and roughly had a plan. He coldly looked at the stands and took a deep breath. In front of him, there were three targets, one on the left and one on the right. Mo Qingfeng was ranked number four, which meant he was the last person to draw. The first examinee did not even draw his bow before the two results were as follows: the first arrow hit the target with a red star and the second arrow hit the target with two arrows missed the target.

Mo Qingfeng knew that it would be too difficult for him to shoot three arrows in a row, so he directly took out three arrows from the quiver and placed them on the bow. With his left hand holding the bow horizontally while his right hand channeled his strength, he forcefully pulled the back of the iron bow with the right, and at the moment he pulled the bow open, he felt a sweet taste in his throat. The lead stone trap had caused his lungs to hurt, and forcing the bow now undoubtedly added fuel to the fire.

Mo Qingfeng calmly swallowed his saliva. He secretly exerted more strength in his arms and, holding his breath, he sent arrows whistling through the air straight at the three red stars in the sky.

"Alright!" Li Hui suddenly stood up and clapped. Yu Lin Wei and the surrounding commoners also let out a burst of cheers. When they saw this archery skill, they couldn't help but be aghast. They thought that even if this bow's shooting skills couldn't compare to the Five Tiger Godly Arrow Huang Zhong, it was still very frightening.

The examinee, who had not even drawn his bow, was naturally eliminated. As a result, there were only three people left on the field. There were more than a hundred of them densely packed together. When Mo Qingfeng saw that cage of sparrows, he curled his lips in disgust.

Mo Qingfeng placed the steel bow to the side and grabbed a stone from the ground. When the examiner saw him, he hurriedly came over and said that he was not allowed to use concealed weapons.

Mo Qingfeng said, "I don't need a stone to shoot a bird, right?"

"No shooting birds?" The examiner was a little confused by Mo Qingfeng's actions, so he could only agree, and in the end he gave another instruction: "You can't hurt others, you'll be directly eliminated if you hurt them!"

Mo Qingfeng nodded as he leaned on the side and watched the two exam candidates shoot their arrows.

The moment Yu Lin Wei opened the cage, a group of sparrows rushed out. The two exam candidates nocked their bows, and with two swishing sounds, the two feathered arrows flew towards the flock of sparrows.

In fact, shooting a flock of birds was not as good as shooting an arrow. As long as you could pull back the bow, you could hit a few with your eyes closed, but Mo Qingfeng knew in his heart that it would be alright if he could pull out the copper toad's back bow once or twice, but pulling it continuously would be a little unrealistic. Since it was like this, he could only take chances.

The moment the two feathered arrows appeared, Mo Qingfeng immediately raised his hand and raised it. The crowd only saw his snow-white sleeves rolling in the air, creating a beautiful white wave. Somehow, the two arrows fell down from the sky.

"This person is cheating. I want to protest." One of the examinees shouted.

The examiner hurriedly ran over to Mo Qingfeng and said, "You can't disturb the other examinees' shooting." If this was in the past, they would have already cleared the scene. However, everyone knew that Mo Qingfeng was recommended by Li Hui, so no matter what, they had to give him an opportunity to explain.

Mo Qingfeng shrugged and said, "How can that be considered interference? The rules of the exam only stated that you couldn't hurt people or shoot birds, nor did they say that you couldn't shoot arrows. Moreover, they can also interfere with my shooting, so I won't have any objections. "

The examiner was about to say something, but Li Hui ordered him to leave. He didn't stop him and watched the change in the field with interest. Li Hui recognized the two exam candidates. They were both famous experts in the martial arts world, and their martial arts were not too far off from Mo Qingfeng's. Moreover, they were both experts in using concealed weapons. It was just that he didn't know why Mo Qingfeng would dare to make such a move …

The two exam candidates looked at each other with dissatisfaction on their faces. However, they didn't say anything and continued to shoot their arrows. Mo Qingfeng also started to concentrate on shooting their arrows.

Not long after, both their quiver of arrows was completely empty, but they were stopped by Mo Qingfeng halfway through. Not even a bird was shot down, and when the two put down their arrows, their expressions were somewhat ugly; if it wasn't for the terrifying scene in the exam grounds, they would have already rolled up their sleeves and beaten Mo Qingfeng to the point that he couldn't take care of himself for the rest of his life.

Mo Qingfeng leisurely lifted the Iron Bow beside him and said to the two of them, "I'm going to shoot, watch out!"

This person was courting death! Their faces were ashen as they looked at each other. They picked up a few sharp rocks from the ground and waited for Mo Qingfeng to shoot.

Mo Qingfeng still intended to shoot three arrows with one bow, but at this moment, there were only two Mountain Sparrows left in the air. One of the two exam candidates shot an arrow with his concealed weapon, while the other one shot straight at Mo Qingfeng. However, Mo Qingfeng did not shoot out three arrows at the same time. Instead, he left behind one of them and waited for the two hidden weapons to call out to him. Then, he shot down the remaining bird with one arrow.

No one expected that someone would try to kill him. Although Mo Qingfeng knew that he had angered the masses, he never expected that someone would be so impatient to hit him with a concealed weapon. Although his figure was still in time to dodge, the stone also brushed past his right shoulder, leaving behind a trail of blood.

As soon as the examiner saw Mo Qingfeng asking for the injured examinee to be arrested, he asked Mo Qingfeng if he was worried. Mo Qingfeng moved his shoulders and shook his head, "It's nothing much. It's just that I can't use my strength, so I won't shoot the rest of the arrows."

One of the three arrows that had just been shot was shot down, while the other two were shot to the air. One of the arrows had hit a chickadee. As for the two examinees, none of them came down.

Victory and defeat had been decided!
