My exclusive card pool

Chapter 59 Who is this guy?

Wang Xi followed the group of examinees along the corridor. No one made a sound or whispered during this time; only the sound of their footsteps echoed.

This time, we passed through the previous examination rooms and continued deeper. After crossing a gray stone plaza, we entered a building further inside the association.

The group arrived at a spacious hall resembling an indoor basketball court. The floor, walls, and ceiling were all made of special metal, gleaming like a mirror. Neatly arranged strip lights emitted a pure white glow, casting a hazy, oppressive atmosphere over the entire space.

blah blah...

Several association members, dressed in suits and ties, walked ramrod straight to the front of the crowd with their hands behind their backs. A calm voice rang out, concisely explaining the rules to everyone.

The second round of assessment is commonly known as the martial arts exam.

It tests the examinee's comprehensive qualities in three major areas: offensive ability, defensive ability, and survival and emergency response ability.

The martial arts exam score will be evaluated in a 3:3:4 ratio, and then combined with the written exam score. The examiners will then decide whether to award the title and certificate of a professional warrior.

It seems simple, but it is actually difficult.

Taking Gucheng as an example, the number of amateur warriors participating in the assessment each year ranges from several hundred to nearly a thousand, but only a handful, or even fewer, are ultimately able to pass the assessment, become professional warriors, and complete the leap in citizen level.

Those who can participate in the professional warrior assessment are already among the best of the best, which shows how difficult the assessment is.

soon.

The first step of the martial arts exam has begun.

Offensive capability test.

Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!

Before the group, a large square opening appeared in the floor in front of the iron wall, from which rose rows of full-metal dummy targets. On the iron wall behind the dummies, data was projected:

"Attack without weapons; attack with weapons."

This project assesses offensive capabilities in two aspects.

Following the instructions of the association staff, the examinees were tested in batches of 20 people each round, in order of their own numbers.

The first to take the stage were naturally the examinees numbered 1 to 20, including the six seeded candidates.

Yu Jiali took the lead.

Swish!
She chewed her gum, gave a cold snort, and flashed past. Her slender, long legs, clad in over-the-knee socks, lashed out like a whip, slamming into the head of the dummy target.

Bang! !

There was a loud bang.

The dummy target shook violently.

drip-

"Yu Jiali, ID number 003".

"Attack without weapons: 1490N (80 points)"

The projection on the iron wall flashed with data in an instant.

The short-haired girl clicked her tongue, seemingly dissatisfied.

"Just 10N away from 90 points..."

She muttered something.

Bang! !

Bang bang bang! !

At the other target positions, the examiners launched a fierce attack on the all-metal rubber-coated dummy.

Loud noises continued one after another.

Drop drop drop-

A series of data points were displayed in front of the examinees and the camera lens of the drone.

The entire audience and even the live stream chat erupted in uproar.

The top performer was Lin Xin'er, a seed member of the Shining Foundation.

The girl looked to be only eighteen or nineteen years old. The whites of her eyes were filled with black, and her pupils were golden rings. She had her hair tied in a black ponytail, wore a dark blue bodysuit, and had an indifferent expression.

Just now, her punch blew the dummy's face out of shape, causing it to cave in.

"Lin Xin'er, number 004."

"Attack without weapons: 2820N (100 points)"

A beep.

The projection even emitted a fireworks animation, seemingly as a celebration.

The only perfect score among the six seeded players!
This was the ultimate destructive power achievable solely through physical strength, immediately astonishing everyone.

Of the remaining four seeded players, Carlisle, the young man from the Gear Foundation, had the best score of 1980N (90 points). The rest were similar to Yu Jiali, scoring between 1250N and 1500N, with a total score of 80 points.

As for the other 14 ordinary examinees in the same batch, they were not at all on the same level. Almost all of them scored below 800N, with scores ranging from 30 to 60.

Astonishment, admiration, nervousness...

A variety of emotions lingered in the minds of the examinees.

Wang Xi stood in the crowd, lost in thought.

He wasn't sure what kind of new unit of data that "N" was, but he was certain that it was a comprehensive evaluation rather than a simple strength test.

'That Lin Xin'er, she's undergone magical transformation.'

Wang Xi said inwardly.

He has now advanced to a quarter of the experience bar in his "Moonlight Breathing Technique," so he can naturally sense the differences in the other person.

'Is it the patented technology of the Shining Consortium? Or some kind of breathing technique card?'

Wang Xi had a guess in his mind.

The first process is still ongoing.

Next is the offensive test with weapons.

Yu Jiali was still the first to make a move.

She took out a green card and held it between her fingers. A flash of light transformed it into an eight-sided bronze sword covered in intricate patterns. A beautifully crafted red silk tassel hung from the hilt.

The short-haired girl darted forward, sword in hand, and with a cold expression, thrust it out, striking the dummy target squarely in the left chest.

Clang! !

A resounding clang.

The sword tip pierced the rubber shell and penetrated more than three inches into the metal interior.

Didi—"Yu Jiali, ID 003."

"Weapon attack: 3050N (80 points)"

Amidst gasps of surprise, the other examinees also drew their own "wild cards," conjuring weapons to launch another attack on the dummy target.

Ding-ding-ding-ding!

Bang! !
This time, the best performer was Carlisle, a seed member of the Gear Foundation.

A blond young man wearing a white shirt and casual trousers had his sleeves rolled up, revealing tattoo-like metal lines. He wore a jet-powered metal gauntlet on his right arm, which he used to smash the chest of a dummy into a cave-in and cause it to explode.

"Carlisle Lee, ID 005".

"Weapon attack: 4260N (100 points)"

beep!
The second fireworks animation appeared in the entire venue.

Including Yu Jiali, the other five seed members all cast surprised and scrutinizing glances at the blond youth.

Carlisle smiled slightly, placed his hand on his chest, and bowed to the crowd. He was not of the Mountain and Sea race, but rather more like a member of the Heaven Federation (Buden United Nations) or the Icefield Empire (Caucasus Empire), with a completely different cultural temperament.

Soon, the first round of attack tests came to an end.

Ranking projections appeared on the iron wall to the right of the hall.

Carlisle was ranked first.

His offensive score was 95.

The subsequent rankings are Lin Xin'er, Jiang Tianjie, Xiao Yuzhe, Nagata Anzu, and Yu Jiali.

The short-haired girl crunched her lollipop, glancing coldly at the rankings. As a seeded player, she was naturally unhappy to be at the bottom of the six.

One group after another stepped forward to be tested, but almost no one stood out. Only a dozen or so slightly outstanding candidates managed to score over 60 points.

There is no harm without comparison.

As time went on and the tests progressed, both the examiners and the viewers in the live stream became increasingly aware of one fact.

Those were six promising individuals, exceptionally talented individuals from a rare breed. It was already difficult enough for the masses to pass through so many rounds of selection to even enter this assessment; to expect to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with them was virtually impossible.

"They are truly beyond our reach..."

"I understand now, these six genius candidates are just a way for the government and conglomerates to endorse them!"

"You just realized? It's the first time it's been broadcast live! The more exciting it is, the more sensation it'll cause!"

"I understand the reasoning, but after watching their performances, the later examiners were somewhat disappointing."

"Disappointing my foot! If you're so good, you do it! If you have 200N offensive stats, I'll kneel down and call you my daddy."

Cupid Housekeeping Lobby Sofa Area.

Looking at the comments on the screen, Zhu Yuhe asked the long-haired youth, Yu Zihan, with a curious expression:

"Hey, what stats did you get in the last amateur hero assessment?"

“360N.” Yu Zihan glanced at her, a look of frustration on her face. “400N is enough to get a 6th-dan certificate, but compared to the professional warrior assessment, it’s far inferior!”

"Oh." Zhu Yuhe thought for a moment, then suggested, "Why don't you post a comment and adopt a son to play with?"

"..."

after an hour.

Finally, it was Wang Xi's turn.

He blended in unnoticed into the crowd, just like the examiners before him, and strode towards a metal dummy target.

However, many viewers in the live stream recognized him and started sending him a barrage of comments:

"Whoa! Sixth Brother's here!"

"Laugh at Sixth Brother, understand Sixth Brother, become Sixth Brother."

"No, I should add that I'll surpass Sixth Brother. If I have the chance to take the assessment next year, I'll definitely eat more than him to make it worthwhile!"

"It's truly despairing to be faced with a genius."

"30 points, satisfied and leaving."

Wang Xi was obviously too busy to play on his phone or read the comments, and he was unaware that many viewers were focusing their attention on him.

He stared silently at the 1:1 life-size target, subtly shifting his left foot outward to adjust his stance.

Based on his previous observations of other examinees, Wang Xi had actually figured something out.

Although humans have abandoned claws, teeth, and scales in the course of long-term evolution and focused on brain development, this does not mean that they have lost their aggressiveness.

Besides the five-finger grasp and the ball-and-socket shoulder joint, two key evolutionary features that established humans as "terrifying upright apes," fists, elbows, knees, and heels are also deadly weapons in hand-to-hand combat.

It is rigid and not easy to injure itself; it has high power transmission efficiency and perfect coordination between muscles and bones; it has a wide attack range to deal with various situations.

Therefore, if you want to achieve better results, it's easier to score points using these four areas.

Swah——

Wang Xi moved without warning.

The perfected "Rendall Body Tempering Method" provided him with an excellent physique, while the "Bloody Knight" added powerful fighting skills to his abilities.

He leaned forward, bending his arm and raising his elbow.

At that moment, Wang Xi resembled a standing black jaguar, pouncing towards the dummy.

Swing your right elbow horizontally and strike the head hard.

Bang! !

A loud bang suddenly occurred, and air waves spread out.

The dummy target shook violently, its head caved in on one side, and its entire body bent to the side at a 60-degree angle!

drip-

"Wang Xi, number 666."

"Attack without weapons: 2680N (100 points)"

beep!!

The data projection behind the iron wall burst into a fireworks animation!

Another perfect score!

The examiners and even the viewers in the live broadcast room were all in an uproar.

One elbow strike knocked the target's head off!
A score of 2680N!
The 2820N is second only to Lin Xin'er's!
Who is this guy?!
