The next day, the students prepare for the martial test, which is divided into three rounds: a test of strength , a selection round , and a round of sparring. The first round is designed to help select the best students, while the second and third rounds are designed to prepare the students for the final round. Everyone is nervous about the test, but Lingwu reassures them that they are strong enough to pass the test. He tells them to pick up their bow and prepare to take the exam. Lingwu tells them that the test will be very difficult, but the students are confident that they will pass. The test begins, and Lingwu tries to get the students to prepare by showing them how to pick the bow up. He is confident that he will be able to do so on his own. The students are amazed at how easily he can pick up his bow, and they are impressed that he is able to hit the target so easily. They are surprised that only three students pass the first round.
