Qin Mu stepped into the Martial Arts Hall.
At the entrance,
Instead of robots that are very often seen in everyday street shops, there were real beauties, each with impressive looks, dressed in form-fitting cheongsams, their eyes smiling.
"Hello, welcome to Jiangcheng Martial Arts Hall. How may I help you?"
Qin Mu wasn't confident in his own strength yet. To claim to be a Quasi-Martial Artist directly would still be stretching it a bit.
"I'd like to test my punching power."
"Alright." The beauty in the cheongsam nodded slightly, "Mr. Qin, we have detected that you are not a member of our Martial Arts Hall. Would you like to sign up for a membership? The first month is half price, only 999 credit points, and automatic renewal enjoys a 30% discount."
Pfft!
That expensive?
Qin Mu nearly spat out his drink.
The first month, half price at 999 credit points, was almost half his mother's monthly salary.
If you weren't a Martial Artist, who could afford it?
"Um, I just want to test myself before taking the Martial Examination." Qin Mu hesitated for a moment before replying.
Oh?
The cheongsam beauty tapped a few times on a virtual screen, her eyes filled with confusion.
In the big data era,
The minute one enters, the video recognition identifies who it is and flashes all the information.
Apprentice Fifth Level, taking the Martial Examination?
Wouldn't anyone be confused seeing that?
"I'm very sorry, Mr. Qin." The cheongsam beauty's service was top-notch; even though Qin Mu's request was a bit outlandish, she didn't mock him, "Non-members and non-Martial Artists are unable to use the training grounds or testing facilities."
"How about you try applying for the Martial Artist examination? The first application is free.
"That way, you can test your strength."
That works.
Qin Mu had no other choice but to nod.
He followed the cheongsam beauty to the Martial Artist assessment area.
"You've come at a very opportune time today." The cheongsam beauty said with a smile, "Many high schools are on holiday today, and all the students eligible to take the Martial Artist examination have come, so it might be a little slow. Please wait a moment." The beauty didn't need to introduce anyone.
Qin Mu had already found Ling Qianxue's exceptionally striking figure in the crowd.
It wasn't that Qin Mu had any particular intentions.
The key was that with a campus belle-level figure like her, you couldn't help but notice her.
He couldn't possibly spend every day at school just focusing on Qian Wen, could he?
That guy didn't need any attention with his rubbery face; he'd just come crawling over.
Standing next to Ling Qianxue was another young man fully clad in a metallic-gray combat suit.
Good heavens.
Just taking a Martial Artist examination, and he's even wearing a formal combat suit?
He didn't seem to be a student from Second High; otherwise, even if Qin Mu didn't know someone like him, he should at least look familiar.
The beauty of cheongsam explained the process of assessment to Qin Mu, completed the procedures, and then left.
After all,
A fifth level apprentice wasn't worth her full escort.
However, besides Ling Qianxue and the young man, there was a cheongsam beauty helping them with the queuing process.
No, that's not right.
They did not need to line up in a queue. Immediately after the previous person finished testing, Ling Qianxue directly bypassed everyone and walked up.
Member?
VIP?
Qin Mu stopped paying attention and casually stretched his limbs instead, so that he wouldn't make a fool of himself later.
With exclamations bursting from every quarter,
Ling Qianxue easily surpassed ten thousand points.
Next was the young man.
Qin Mulooked over,
12003KG!?
Stronger than Ling Qianxue?
"Lu Zhuo, your strength has improved so quickly." Ling Qianxue smiled and congratulated him.
Lu Zhuo replied smoothly, "Not at all, I've just been eating well recently."
.The two chatted.
Qin Mu did not want to pay attention.
The line moved quickly; it was just one punch per person. Anyway, they wouldn't give you a second chance, and the Examiner was watching nearby.
"Qin Mu?"
The Examiner looked at the data on the virtual screen; the same confusion appeared in his eyes as had been in the beauty's earlier.
"You're only Fifth Level, why are you here causing trouble? You're just wasting an opportunity!"
Qin Mu, upon hearing this, didn't back down:
"I believe in my own strength. Even if I don't pass, I won't be far off."
Hah!
Arrogant young man,
Exasperation reigned in the Examiner's eyes as he boomed, "Little guys like you, I send away at least a thousand a day if not eight hundred. And you are not the first to forcefully demand an assessment."
"This is a Martial Artist examination, not child's play!
"If you dare to achieve a score that's too far off, do you think I can make sure you'll never be able to participate in an assessment again in your life?"
This. how is there such a rule?
Qin Mu really didn't know.
In the past, being a Martial Artist felt too distant, so he never cared about the assessment rules. Just a glance at the requirements was enough to know he wasn't qualified.
The voice of the Examiner was clearly heard by the passers-by.
Ling Qianxue was about to leave but was called over.
"Hmm? A bit familiar."
"Qin what was it again?
After all, she had just taken the assessment right before and after him yesterday, so she still had a general impression but couldn't recall the name.
And Qin Mu was also in a bit of a predicament.
Now that he was here, he couldn't just return in defeat, could he?
"May I ask, what score is not considered too far off?
Oh?
He still hadn't been scared away?
The Examiner looked a little surprised. A normal candidate, when told that he was going to be possibly banned for life, would immediately run away.
"Hmph, seeing that you're somewhat confident, I won't make things difficult for you. A score of 8000KG won't be considered a contempt Martial Examination!"
Qin Mu nodded.
"8000, right?
"No problem."
He was an Apprentice Ninth Level. Even if he hadn't practiced much, with his experience of punching a thousand times every day,
He would never, under any circumstances, get a score lower than his current level, right?
As to whether he could make a Breakthrough to the next level, that remained to be seen.
Full power!
One chance alone!
Woosh~~
Qin Mu took a deep breath, stabilized his horse stance, gathered all his strength into his waist, and threw a punch.
Bang!
Snap~
Qin Mu first slammed his fist into the testing device, and then, the force of his punch created a crisp sound in the air.
"10001KG"
Exceeding ten thousand, the value was displayed as a number on the testing device.
Hiss!!
The Examiner immediately gasped, staring with incredulity at the testing device.
He turned his head and looked at the virtual screen again.
"That's right, the data was updated yesterday, so it was just tested yesterday. Only Fifth Level, how could he today.???"
Nearby,
Equally shocked were Ling Qianxue's eyes.
"How is that possible?" "He. he tested right before me yesterday!!!"
