"Master, does that mean you don't want us to take the Provincial Examination too soon?"
Hei Hu asked.
"The Court and the Turkic Kingdom have established diplomatic relations, and the fires of war have subsided in recent years. Brilliant talents are emerging from all corners, and everyone sees the Martial Arts Examination as a path to fame. As your master, I have guided your cultivation, and I naturally hope you can excel in every examination and pass. It's just that..."
"You just finished the Daoist Examination, and now you want to take the Provincial Martial Arts Examination. With only a year in between, it's a bit too soon. I worry that you'll encounter powerful opponents in the exam. If you're defeated and fail, I'm afraid you'll end up like your senior brother Wang, who never recovered from the blow."
Guo Wei hesitated for a moment before voicing his concerns.
