Full-Time Martial Saint

In fact, it can be seen from the algorithm logic of martial arts skill testing equipment that the mainstream view on Earth for judging the strength of martial artists is still based on comprehensive physical fitness.

Chen Cong's overall physical fitness has now reached level 3.1, and the virtual opponents generated by the simulation combat system have obviously become much stronger.

Ultimately, the opponent was generated based on the data of a comprehensive physical fitness level of 3.1. Chen Cong's martial arts skills had long exceeded the normal range that this value should be, and he easily defeated the opponent generated by the device.

[Test complete. Please wait for the final results.]

Your martial arts skill score: 739 points.

The device's voice broadcast sounded, and Chen Cong glanced at the final score displayed on the screen in front of him and nodded slightly.

This score met his expectations, a full 68 points higher than his previous score of 671.

He turned around and opened the automatic door of the equipment. As soon as he stepped out, Huang Changhu and the others outside craned their necks to look inside.

Although Zhang Kui was also curious, as a teacher, he didn't react like the others.

"How's it going?" He stood with his hands behind his back, looking at Chen Cong with a faint smile, and asked, "Did you break 700 points?"

The score of 671 was achieved during a test at the Tianwu Training Hall. Only Chen Cong, Xu Baiwei, and Li Xiuwen from Qingshan Martial Arts Academy knew about that score; Zhang Kui did not see the specific data.

He roughly knew Chen Cong's comprehension, but after all, only a week had passed.

Zhang Kui felt that Chen Cong's martial arts skill rating had improved from 578 to 700, which was already quite remarkable.

"Chen Cong, you're a real beast!"

"This is inhuman! Is this person even human?"

"Twice...more than twice my amount..."

"This score instills a sense of despair, a feeling of being powerless to catch up..."

While Zhang Kui was still waiting for Chen Cong's answer, Huang Changhu, Zhao Cheng, and the others on the other side had already completely erupted in chaos!

A gasp rang out, and Zhang Kui looked at Chen Cong with some confusion. Seeing that Chen Cong smiled without saying anything, Zhang Kui also became uneasy and went straight to the automatic door of the equipment to peek inside.

"739!?"

Zhang Kui was stunned when he saw the three huge numbers on the screen.

Although this score is only 39 points higher than the estimated 700, as a martial arts instructor, Zhang Kui knows very well how difficult it is for an ordinary martial arts student to achieve such a 39-point improvement.

Take Zhao Cheng for example. His martial arts skills score reached 355 points in the final exam of his second year of high school. However, now that his senior year has been going on for a month, his martial arts skills score has only increased by less than 10 points, to 39 points. Under normal circumstances, this would be equivalent to several months of training and comprehension for an average martial arts student.

The group stood behind Zhang Kui, their faces filled with surprise, envy, and disbelief as they looked at Chen Cong.

"Teacher Zhang, I...I also want to take the test."

After a moment, Lin Xiao, who hadn't said much among the group, suddenly spoke up.

Upon hearing her words, a hint of interest instantly appeared on the faces of the others.

These past few days, under Chen Cong's guidance, they all felt that they had made some progress in their boxing skills. Now that they saw Chen Cong's incredible test score, they naturally wanted to see exactly how much they had improved.

"Then let's test them all." Zhang Kui thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

He could tell that these people had a good relationship with Chen Cong, and he roughly understood Chen Cong's temperament. He guessed that Chen Cong would probably give them some guidance in private.

As the old saying goes, "One who stays near vermilion gets stained red, and one who stays near ink gets stained black," he also wanted to see if these people could bring him some more surprises.

Seeing that Zhang Kui agreed, the group exchanged glances, then all smiled and lined up.

Lin Xiao was the first to start the test, and after everything was ready, the equipment was restarted.

A moment later, she came out from inside with an undisguised smile on her face.

"How was it!?"

"How many points!?"

Huang Changhu and the others hurriedly pressed for answers, while Zhang Kui and Chen Cong also looked at her curiously.

"458 points." Facing everyone's gaze, Lin Xiao smiled and announced her score.

"458! What was your score on your second year of high school final exam?"

"I remember it was around 400, and it improved by 50 points in just over a month!?"

The group chattered excitedly, but Chen Cong remained remarkably calm.

Lin Xiao's boxing skills had already reached the threshold of minor mastery, and it's normal that he has improved after receiving special guidance from him recently.

"Old Huang, it's your turn. Show the brothers what you've got!"

After Lin Xiao's score was released, the others were clearly more eager to see the scores of the others.

Urged on by the crowd, Huang Changhu stepped into the simulated combat equipment.

……

"434 points, an improvement of more than 40 points!"

"Young Master Ning, hurry! Your score will definitely be higher!"

Having spent so many days together, everyone has witnessed Ning Yuhang's progress firsthand.

Although they didn't say it outright, they already believed in their hearts that Ning Yuhang's boxing skills had surpassed Lin Xiao's, making him the top martial arts expert in Class 2 of Senior Three, second only to Chen Cong.

Ning Yuhang took a deep breath, slowly walked into the equipment, and started the test.

……

"Beasts! Young Master Ning is beast too!"

"Tell me honestly, did you and Chen... did you find some amazing private trainer behind your back?!"

"476... 18 points higher than mine." Lin Xiao murmured with a complicated expression when she saw Ning Yuhang's score.

As the first to be tested, she thought she had made great progress, but she didn't expect that Ning Yuhang, who had always been behind her, would surpass her so quickly.

After a moment of excitement, Zhao Cheng, Yang Can, and Hou Long all took the test one after another.

Zhao Cheng's martial arts skills score has reached 390 points, while Yang Can and Hou Long have both surpassed 400 points, reaching 410 and 413 points respectively.

When the final results were announced, Zhang Kui was the most surprised.

As the martial arts teacher of Class 2, Grade 12, he could not say that he knew the martial arts level of every student in the class perfectly, but he still had a general idea of ​​what level each person was at.

He could understand why Ning Yuhang, Lin Xiao, and Huang Changhu had made progress.

Once you reach the threshold of minor mastery in boxing, it's normal to see some improvement as long as you put in enough effort and practice diligently.

After all, all three of them come from relatively wealthy families, and with the help of some good private trainers, such improvement in just over a month is reasonable.

But the improvement of Zhao Cheng and the other two was something Zhang Kui found somewhat unbelievable.

After all, at the beginning of their senior year of high school, all three of them were still below the threshold of minor mastery in boxing, belonging to the level where they couldn't even control their basic strength.

Now, two of the three have successfully reached the threshold of minor mastery, with their martial arts skills score exceeding 400 points!

A breakthrough at a certain stage is much more difficult than improvement within a certain stage, so it is quite remarkable that the two of them have made such progress.

While Zhang Kui was overjoyed, he seemed to realize something and couldn't help but look at Chen Cong beside him.

Noticing his gaze, Chen Cong roughly understood that he had guessed that the others' progress was related to him, but they were unaware of his private fees.

"Alright, you guys go ahead first. Don't make a fuss about today's test."

After a moment's thought, Zhang Kui dismissed Ning Yuhang and the others, then gestured for Chen Cong to follow him to the window.

"Your progress surprises me." After a moment of silence, Zhang Kui spoke slowly.

"It's all thanks to your excellent teaching, teacher," Chen Cong said with a smile, taking over the conversation.

His words immediately amused Zhang Kui, who couldn't help but laugh and scold, "At such a young age, you can already spout flattery so easily."

"Sigh!" He sighed and continued, "Chen Cong, I still suggest that you don't make a fuss for now, and don't test your martial arts skills in front of other people anymore."

Chen Cong paused slightly upon hearing this, then nodded: "I understand."

Seeing that he understood his meaning instantly, Zhang Kui nodded in satisfaction: "The improvement of martial arts skills becomes more and more difficult. Although your current score is partly due to the bonus from your agility, it is already at its limit overall."

"It won't be easy to make further breakthroughs until overall physical fitness improves."

"I have a suggestion for you: you can focus your energy on improving your overall physical fitness and that movement technique."

"With your current performance, if your overall physical fitness level reaches level 5 or above during the college entrance examination, you have a chance to compete for a top martial arts university."

After speaking, Zhang Kui hesitated for a moment, then took out a metal card from his pocket and handed it over.

"I have some connections with the owner of Hongyang Training Center across from the school. When Hongyang Training Center opened, he gave me a training room. I don't go there often, but now I'm giving you the access key. You can just go there whenever you want to train."

"This..." Chen Cong hesitated as he looked at the key handed to him.

Although Hongyang Training Hall is not as luxurious as Xu's Tianwu Training Hall, the rental fee for the training room is still over a thousand yuan per hour.

If I accept this key, I'll owe you a huge debt of gratitude.

However, he does need a dedicated training room to improve his overall physical fitness, and given Zhang Kui's temperament, if he refuses, he might upset the other party.

After a moment's thought, he bowed deeply and said, "I cannot refuse such a generous gift from an elder, Teacher Zhang, thank you."

Zhang Kui nodded with a smile: "Go ahead, your teacher looks forward to your performance."

Chen bowed again, put the key in his pocket, and left.
