The second round, archery, was actually very difficult.
Out of the original two thousand participants, only about three hundred at most would pass this stage.
And after passing the second round, as long as one's performance wasn't too abysmal, they were basically considered to have earned a title.
At the very least, they would be a Scholar.
If they wished, they could even take up a minor official post in their home county.
Yet Li Chang'an had scored perfectly in this round without even breaking a sweat, which meant he had, at minimum, completely refined his bones and flesh.
The only question was whether he had entered the Inner Qi Realm.

The two of them continued forward.
Li Chang'an swept through one trial after another, breezing past all the assessments along the way as if they were nothing.
Ma Dongyang, however, wasn't as strong and was ultimately eliminated in the fifth round.
