"Brother Lin, your student is quite strong. He has a punching power of 650 jin. Is he here to take the fifth-level martial arts test?" Huang Guozhong asked with a smile, though he was asking a question. Although he was asking, his tone was confident.
In the martial arts assessment, martial artists of levels one to four do not need to be tested on their fist strength; they can pass simply by participating in battles on a virtual battlefield.
Starting from level five, the assessment includes tests of punching power, reaction ability, and explosive power. Only those who pass all three tests can enter the virtual battlefield to participate in combat.
Therefore, many people remain at the fourth level of martial artist for their entire lives. Even if they can win battles in the virtual battlefield, they can only stop there if they fail the three tests before entering the virtual battlefield.
As for why there are tests for punching power, reaction ability, and explosive power, which seem to have nothing to do with the assessment, it's because after entering the fifth level of martial arts, there will be an opportunity to go to the battlefield and fight monsters head-on.
They are just some low-level monsters, but their numbers are huge, and people die in them every year. This is also a talent selection process in the base. If you perform well in it, you will have the opportunity to be selected to join the Dragon Breeding Army.
The selection process for the Yulong Army is similar to the military selection process a hundred years ago, only it is many times more difficult.
Only when you're actually on the battlefield can you truly see human reactions.
Those tests were only to select people suitable for the battlefield. Those who didn't have enough punching power couldn't kill the monsters, those who were slow to react would be torn to pieces by the monsters, and those who had slow and poor explosive power were, to put it bluntly, weaklings.
This was done in order to reduce casualties on the battlefield, but even so, the number of casualties over a year was still enormous.
"Yes, it's these few brats. After seeing that Liu Bai returned from the battlefield as a level six martial artist, they started bothering me, asking me to give them an assessment. I'm just fed up with their annoyance."
Chen Lin was helpless. In his opinion, these brats were still a bit lacking in strength. He originally wanted to keep them at bay, but since they insisted on coming, he couldn't blame them for running into a wall here.
Thinking this way, Chen Lin's eyes also held a hint of schadenfreude. If hitting a wall would make them behave better, then that would be a good thing.
Thinking this, Chen Lin turned his head and started talking to Huang Guozhong about another topic.
"By the way, Lao Huang, have you seen the trending topics on the quantum computer? The sea of love has been taken over by monsters!"
Huang Guozhong sighed, "I saw it. A mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. The army stationed in the Sea of Love was besieged by monsters. It was the Blood Armored Beast that led the attack. The monsters are getting stronger and stronger. If it weren't for the Black and White Lords leading humanity to repel the monsters seventy years ago, I'm afraid we wouldn't even have this piece of pure land."
"Yes, it is said that the Blood Armor Beast has mutated again, and its feathers have developed to the hardness of diamond. Last time, even a powerful expert at the Innate Realm tried his best but couldn't break a single feather."
As Chen Lin spoke, he was clearly worried. The monsters were getting stronger and stronger, which was not a good thing for humanity.
"Teacher, you're here! Quickly help us with the test. They all disagree that I'm number one." The boy named Zhang Jiaqi looked at his friends provocatively, clearly satisfied with the punching power test just now.
“Jiaqi, don’t be so smug. We can achieve a punch of 650 jin (325 catties). It’s a deal, if you lose, you have to wash our smelly socks for a month,” a boy next to him retorted.
"If I win, you'll each have to wash my stinky socks for a month, dare you?"
"Why wouldn't I dare? I'm just afraid you won't dare. There are eight of us here, and I don't believe there's no one who can surpass you!"
Chen Lin chuckled, "These brats!"
“They’re so lively, weren’t we just like that back then?” Huang Guozhong smiled, the scene before him evoking some memories, his eyes filled with nostalgia.
"Alright, alright, everyone line up!" Chen Lin walked towards his students.
“Oborozuki, you don’t need to be too nervous. As long as you reach 600 in the punching power test, you can pass. As for explosive power and reaction speed, I believe they will be easy for you.”
Huang Guozhong patted Longyue's shoulder to comfort her, saying that his daughter was still young.
Huang Guozhong had seen Longyue's performance in the virtual battlefield and was amazed. The only thing that worried him was her punching power. As a young girl, her body was always different from that of a boy.
"Don't worry, teacher, I will pass." Longyue replied calmly, her gaze fixed on the machine. She also wanted to know how strong her punching power was now so that she could adjust her training accordingly!
"Your teacher believes in you; you're a good child!"
Over there, Chen Lin waved to Huang Guozhong and Longyue, signaling them to come over.
"Little girl, you go first in the assessment. These brats will take longer to assess." Chen Lin said gently to Longyue. He also thought that letting the girl go first would reduce the pressure on her. If the little girl performed well, it would put pressure on the group of naughty boys behind him. It was a win-win situation.
"Okay, thank you, Uncle."
"Teacher, who is she? Why did you let her cut in line?" Zhang Jiaqi was dissatisfied. He had been waiting here for a long time, just waiting for the assessment, but now an outsider was in front of him?
"What? You're a bunch of men, can't you let a girl go first?" Chen Lin glanced at Zhang Jiaqi. This kid has good talent, but he's a bit narrow-minded and doesn't know how to handle things.
"But you can't cut in line, can you? Besides, if she were strong, I could accept it, but this little girl is taking the Level 5 martial arts exam. Is she kidding me? She's wasting everyone's time."
Zhang Jiaqi looked down on Longyue from the bottom of his heart. How could a little girl who hadn't even reached his shoulder pass the Level 5 martial arts exam? She must have come here because of her family, spoiled and willful!
"Zhang Jiaqi!" Chen Lin warned, then smiled and said to Huang Guozhong, "Old Huang, don't mind him, he's just eager to take the test."
"Girl, come here, aim here and hit hard!" After saying that, Chen Lin turned his gaze to Longyue.
Zhang Jiaqi muttered a couple of things on the spot, then glared angrily at Longyue with hostility.
Longyue raised her hand and tucked a strand of hair behind her back. She looked to the side and said, "Uncle, isn't there a punching power testing machine over there? Let me have a match with it."
Longyue looked at Zhang Jiaqi leisurely, raising her eyebrows, clearly looking down on her...
"Good, girl, you have guts!" Chen Lin said admiringly.
"You brat, did you hear me? Go to that machine!" After saying that, he gave Zhang Jiaqi a playful kick in the butt, which made the other students burst into laughter.
Zhang Jiaqi's face turned red. He had never lost face like this before, and his dissatisfaction with Longyue intensified.
Let's go together!
Slender arms, fair skin, fingers clenched into a fist, slamming down on the test machine with the force of a thunderbolt.
Veins bulged on Zhang Jiaqi's thick, powerful arms. He roared and concentrated all his strength into his fist.
