Chu Lingguang muttered to himself.
He knew the Imperial Examination would be difficult, but he hadn't expected the first round to be this hard.
He had already learned that the Imperial Examination consisted of only three rounds, but they were known as the "Three Rounds of Despair." Each round was exceptionally perilous, far exceeding the difficulty of the Daoist and Provincial Examinations. No one could guarantee they would make it through all three.
However, as long as one reached the third round, they would become a Martial Scholar regardless of their performance in it.
The first round was a solo battle against twenty soldiers of the Black Armored Army.
The contents of the second and third rounds had not yet been announced.
The Martial Arts Examination was held once every three years, and its rules and content were updated each time. This was especially true for the Imperial and Palace Examinations, which were completely unpredictable to the average person.
