Unlike the Feather Scale Trial that is open to the entire world, the Shengjing Martial Selection is the most important and fairest channel for the Tang to select martial talents. Only Tang people can participate.
The Ministry of War and the Ministry of Personnel meticulously allocate different quotas for each state and require each state to determine these quotas by means of real martial contests.
Therefore, each participant in the Martial Selection must present a document clearly stating when and where they participated in which martial arts tournament in their own state, and their placing in the tournament.
In addition to this, the two ministries have also set up a "preliminary competition" in Shengjing, reserving a full 200 slots for an extravagant feast that the entire world is welcome to.
