章 119: Chapter 43: The Bigger the Storm, the Pricier the Fish

"Martial title?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the hall erupted in a hubbub.

It was widely known that changing one's status in the Great Zhou was very difficult.

The citizens of Great Zhou were generally born into a certain status, and unless something unexpected happened, they would die in that same status.

To change status, one had to either enlist in the army and achieve merit on the battlefield, or pass the civil or martial examination to become an official or general.

But no matter the method, for most ordinary people without connections, it was nearly impossible.

There were many social intricacies involved, and it wasn't merely about evaluating cultivation level, so ordinary people were at a disadvantage.

Likewise, once one acquired a martial title, it meant gaining the opportunity to enter the Great Zhou Court, becoming someone esteemed and obtaining a certain level of fame and social status.
