As the venue was set up, the young officials became more and more eager to try. This was a great opportunity to show off their strength in front of Li Shi Min, so how could they not be excited?
" Little guys, you are not the main characters today…"
Cheng Yaojin naturally saw the appearance of these officials 'children, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
"Hahaha, I think everyone is a little impatient.”" Haha!" Then he laughed." In that case, let the competition begin.”
"Who wants to go first?"
As Cheng Yaojin's words fell, the hall suddenly became quiet. Those officials 'descendants looked at each other, but none of them stepped forward.
Obviously, these guys were not stupid. No one wanted to be the first to go up. They all wanted to see the strength of the others.
"Since no one is willing, then this Wang will be the first to embarrass himself.”
The silence didn't last for long. Seeing that no one had walked out, a young man walked out with a smile and cupped his fists.
"This is Wang Jingzhen."
The moment this young man appeared, everyone could not help but whisper.
"He is the legitimate son of the Wang Clan…"
" I heard that he has been practicing martial arts since he was young. His strength is astonishing…"
" I also heard that he once knocked down a warhorse with one punch…"
"He probably has the strength of two horses now…"
" I wonder how heavy the stone lock he can lift this time…"
Wang Jingzhen was not a stranger. He was from the Wang family, one of the five surnames and seven Wangs. The Wang family's status in Chang 'an was not low. The current family master was a second-grade official in the imperial court. Wang Jingzhen was a direct descendant of the current family master, so he was brought to Cheng Yaojin's birthday banquet.
Hearing the whispers around him, Wang Jingzhen suddenly showed a smug look.
He had indeed practiced martial arts since he was young. In terms of strength, no one dared to claim to be the first among the younger generation of the Wang family. His current strength was not the strength of two horses, but close to three horses.
During this period, the strength of a person was basically referred to by the power of a horse. The strength of a horse was equivalent to a hundred pounds of weight, and three horses were equivalent to three hundred pounds of strength. It was no wonder that Wang Jingzhen was so proud of himself with such strength.
Of course, this was just a general term and could not be compared to the real horsepower. However, even so, it could not be underestimated.
"Today, I must make His Majesty pay more attention to me.”
Wang Jingzhen whispered to himself under the watchful eyes of the crowd. Then, he walked straight to the rows of stone locks.
Looking at the stone lock in front of him, Wang Jingzhen skipped the first few blocks without hesitation and stopped in front of the stone lock with the number " three " on it.
"300 jin…"
Seeing this scene, everyone's eyes immediately focused.
"Could it be that he can lift a 300 jin stone lock?”
" Doesn't that mean that he has already reached the strength of three horses…"
As the words rang out, all the officials 'descendants present revealed a solemn expression.
One had to know that not just anyone could lift a weight of 300 pounds.
"It will definitely succeed!"
Just as everyone was watching, Wang Jingzhen took a deep breath, then lowered his body, bent over, and grabbed the lock handle with both hands. He suddenly shouted.
"Rise…"
As the veins on his arms bulged, Wang Jingzhen really lifted the 300-pound stone lock.
"Hiss…"
Looking at the scene in front of them, the sound of gasps immediately resounded throughout the entire banquet hall.
" He…he actually raised it…"
The sons of the officials were shocked. Obviously, they did not expect Wang Jingzhen to be so powerful.
Upon hearing the shocked voices, Wang Jingzhen suddenly revealed a proud expression. Even so, he knew his own business. He immediately smashed the stone lock onto the ground because this 300 jin stone lock was already his limit. If he tried to force a stone lock that was more than 300 jin, he would definitely make a fool of himself.
He wasn't stupid, and he knew that he couldn't catch up to Li Shiming. He bowed to Li Shiming and returned to the Wang Clan's Patriarch.
"Lord Wang, this child, Jing Zhen, is extraordinary…"
With Wang Jingzhen's return, some officials congratulated the Wang family's head.
"No, no, dogs only have some strength. It's difficult for them to enter the elegant hall.”
Hearing this congratulatory voice, the Wang family head returned the greeting with a humble expression. However, the smug expression on his face could not be concealed at all.
"Tsk…"
"It's only 300 catties. What's there to be proud of?”
Looking at the arrogant expressions of Wang Jingzhen and the Wang family's head, Cheng Chumo curled his lips. Not only him, but even Qin Huaiyu had the same expression.
300 pounds might be a certain weight to an ordinary person, but the two of them knew that with this little weight, another person could easily crush everyone with a casual flick of his finger.
At the thought of this, Qin Huaiyu and Cheng Chumo looked at each other and revealed a dispirited look. They felt that there was nothing to watch in this competition. After all, these people were simply trash compared to their brothers.
Obviously, these two fellows had no intention of participating.
"Let me show off…"
As Wang Jingzhen left, another young man came up and bowed respectfully to Li Shimin before walking towards the stone lock...
However, the young man did not surpass Wang Jingzhen in the end. He only lifted the 200-pound stone lock.
"Me too…"
"Me too…"
Two people had already started, and the rest of the officials could no longer sit still and stepped forward one after another…
Although the last few people who came up were not confident that they could surpass the 300 pounds that Wang Jingzhen had lifted before, it was good to show it in front of Li Shimin.
"Bang!"
As the last person smashed the stone lock heavily onto the ground, the match gradually came to an end.
"Hahaha…it seems that my son has won this match.”
As the last person left, the Wang Clan's Patriarch immediately laughed heartily.
There was no other reason than that none of the younger generation participants could surpass his son, Wang Jingzhen, in this competition of strength.
"Your Majesty, this competition…"
"Haha…Lord Wang, don't worry…"
Just as the head of the Wang family was trying to claim credit from Li Shiming, Cheng Yaojin stepped forward with a smirk on his face…
