1087: Chapter 158: Training the Knight Corps_3 1087: Chapter 158: Training the Knight Corps_3 Relying solely on these items, naturally no significant achievents could be developed, but they were sufficient to determine the cultivation talent.
The current fourth round of testing was truly crucial in identifying the level of cultivation talent, in order to ascertain the future training direction.
This comprehensive selection model was a challenge to the Kingdom’s existing talent selection chanism.
A year ago, Hudson would not have dared to act so boldly.
Now, it was different.
Under the banner of developing the Near East, people were more accepting of sowhat outrageous behavior.
The previous thod of selecting elites from soldiers and teaching them the Fighting Qi cultivation thod, and then selecting those soldiers with cultivation talent for further training, clearly no longer t the demands.
Hudson had already completed the talent testing within the army privately, and those soldiers with cultivation talent had received the Cultivation thod.
Only that there were too few people with cultivation talent, and even fewer with decent talent.
After screening tens of thousands of troops in the domain, including Reserve Soldiers, only about four thousand had cultivation talent, and only half of them were deed worthy of further training.
This proportion was much lower than that of Noble Children.
Clearly, the theory of lineage that was prevalent on the Continent of Aslante was not entirely baseless.
However, to Hudson, it resembled human self-evolution more.
It was like selecting seeds where the largest and most plump seeds, when planted, were likely to yield crops with better output and quality.
The parents of Noble Children had awakened their cultivation talent, elevating the essence of their lives, and this talent had a certain probability of being passed on.
After generations of continuous optimization and selection, the probability that Noble Children possessed cultivation talent far exceeded that of ordinary people.
Not only was their probability of having cultivation talent higher, but the quality of their talent was also relatively superior.
This was one reason ancient Major Nobles were more likely to produce Strongn.
Observing the continually aggregating test results, Hudson gained a renewed understanding of the class stratification in the Aslante Continent.
Fortunately, the base of commoner children was sufficiently large; even though less than one tenth possessed cultivation talent, this still represented a considerable number when considering their large base.
“Duke, these are the compiled test results.
Among the domain people aged 12 to 18, there are a total of 926 people with Magical Talent, including 469 with Inferior Talent, 376 with Lower Talent, 72 with dium Talent, and 9 with Superior Talent.
There are a total of 24,867 people with knight cultivation talent, including 14,346 with Inferior Talent, 8,764 with Lower Talent, dium Talent…”
Listening to Cain’s report, Hudson frowned.
These numbers were much less than he had anticipated.
Including the population from the Royal territory and the refugees allocated by the Kingdom, the Mountain Domain now boasted a population of two million.
Of these, the 12 to 18-year-olds alone amounted to as many as three hundred thousand.
Worse still, having cultivation talent did not equate to having value for further training.
Training those with Inferior Talent was simply a waste of resources.
While diligence could compensate for a lack of natural ability, it presupposed the investnt of massive resources.
The right to cultivate these people had to be granted by Hudson, and there were not enough resources for them to squander.
This test might not be entirely accurate; if so developed special physiques later or encountered remarkable adventures, it was still possible to change their quality of talent.
“Let those with Inferior Talent go back!
Tell them if they develop a sense of qi within three years, they can co back.
If anyone can persist in their training daily, they can be freed from assignnts for three years, and their daily ration of fish will be increased by 0.5 pounds.
Those with Magical Talent are to be incorporated into the Mage Corps.
All the remaining boys are to be enrolled into the Reservists, those with lower-quality talent to be trained as warriors, and those with dium or Superior Quality as knights.
As for the girls, apart from those with Superior Talent who will all be retained, the rest may choose whether to stay.
If they choose to stay, they will be trained under the sa standards.”
Hudson sighed.
He had given them the opportunity, but whether they could seize it remained an unknown.
