The martial arts examination of each Imperial Examination session is the most eye-catching major exam, and also the liveliest time of the year in the Western Capital.
During every martial arts examination, the place is packed with people, who look up to watch the duels in the Immortal Bridge Blessed Land, while vendors move through the crowd selling sunflower seeds, tea, and snacks.
This time is also the best opportunity for the men and women of the Western Capital to choose their desired partners.
The Scholars competing in the Immortal Bridge Blessed Land are often quite young, with many still unmarried. They are talents selected by the strength of the entire nation.
If one could find a 'golden turtle son-in-law' or marry a lady from there, it would be a blessing cultivated by the ancestors.
The Ministry of Rites does not prohibit watching; in fact, they actively open the Immortal Bridge Blessed Land for people to observe, to show fairness.
