When I first entered high school, the system insisted that I was destined to be an emperor in my lat

at the same time.

Inside the assessment room.

The interior space is very spacious, about 300 square meters, and the walls are all made of impact-absorbing materials.

Several rows of chairs were placed at the back of the room for the waiting examinees to rest.

On the high platform directly in front, there are two expensive heavy instruments.

One of them is the latest high-precision blood and qi testing chamber.

The other one is a combat power test stake that is more than three meters high and is made of high-density spirit metal and a hydraulic buffer device.

The person in charge of this assessment was a burly, stern-faced middle-aged man.

One could see the official badge of the second rank worn on his chest.

Beside him followed a young girl responsible for operating the instruments and recording data, wearing a first-rank badge on her chest.

The middle-aged man's sharp, eagle-like gaze swept over the dozens of slightly nervous people present.

"Quiet!"

A deep shout, imbued with the power of blood and qi, instantly silenced the entire examination room.

"I am Liu Tie, the chief examiner for this session."

"This is my assistant, Xiao Mo."

"Now, I will introduce the rules for this practical assessment!"

"I have received all of your assessment application forms."

"There are five applicants for the second-rank martial artist assessment this time; and forty-eight applicants for the first-rank assessment."

"The rules are simple: for the first-rank martial artist assessment, the minimum requirement is a Qi and Blood value of 10.0 or higher! Your combat power must exceed 100!"

"I believe that since you have submitted your forms and are standing here, most of the people present should have barely passed the health test."

"But! The most crucial thing is this combat capability testing platform!"

Liu Tie suddenly turned around, raised his hand, and pointed at the machine that tested combat capabilities.

"When you go up there, you must unleash your full power of internal energy and punch the test stake!"

"The system will automatically calculate your overall combat strength based on your explosive power, speed, and destructive force!"

"Of course, don't worry about getting hurt! It's similar to the punching power testing machine you use in your martial arts gym, but it's much safer!"

"To be considered qualified for the first-rank martial artist assessment, you must demonstrate a combat power score of 100 or higher!"

Immediately afterwards, Liu Tie's gaze suddenly turned sharp, sweeping over several pale-faced, unsteady-stepping youths in the crowd like a blade.

"Don't think I don't know what some of you are thinking!"

"Many people have managed to raise their Qi and Blood values ​​to over 10.0 by consuming elixirs and Qi-blood potions like food!"

"but!"

"You don't understand how to circulate your Qi and blood, or how to transform them into real destructive power!"

"These useless medicine bottles, all show and no substance, are no different from trash when facing alien beasts on the battlefield!"

"Our Dragon Kingdom Martial Arts Association absolutely does not recognize martial artists who are all show and no substance!"

"As for those applying for the second-rank assessment..."

Liu Tie glanced at Xiao Wan Ning, Jiang Feng, and the others sitting in the corner, his tone softening slightly but still very serious, "Your Qi and Blood value must reach 110 points, and your combat power must break through the 1000 mark! Similarly, neither can be lacking!"

Finally, he added coldly:

"According to the rules of the Martial Arts Association, the material waste fee for the first test is waived."

"If you feel you're not in good shape or unsure of yourself today, it's not too late to back out!"

"But if it's a second retake, you have to pay a 10,000 yuan examination fee each time!"

The voice just fell.

A commotion immediately broke out in the crowd.

Two young men, their faces as pale as paper and their steps unsteady, exchanged a glance, then stood up with grim expressions and slunk out of the examination room.

Liu Tie was right; they had simply used high-level potions bought from home to forcibly boost their qi and blood.

If we really let them go and test the targets, they probably wouldn't even be able to generate 50 combat power. Staying here would only make them look foolish!

Seeing the two medicine bottles leave, Liu Tie nodded expressionlessly.

"very good!"

"The rest, come up one by one according to your number!"

"The first one is Zhang Dapan!"

"Here...here!"

A burly, fat man nervously wiped the sweat from his palms and stood up from his chair.

Although he was fat, he wasn't the kind of puffy fat that jiggled around; rather, he was a solid fat man with a very large frame and muscles wrapped in a thick layer of fat, so much so that the floor would tremble slightly when he walked.

Zhang Dapan walked to the blood and qi testing chamber, took a deep breath, and put his thick arm inside.

"drop!"

The screen flashed green!

[Qi and Blood Value: 11.2]

Liu Tie glanced at it and nodded slightly: "Your Qi and Blood values ​​are acceptable. Go test your combat strength!"

Xiao Mo quickly recorded the data on the tablet.

Zhang Dapan swallowed hard and walked to the tall test pile.

He spread his legs apart, striking a pose that looked somewhat comical and clumsy, but was perfectly executed.

At that moment, many things came to mind.

Elderly parents, a newborn baby, and the expectations of his wife at home.

Now, it's all about this moment!

He took a deep breath, his chest bulging, his belly fat contracting, and the muscles in his calves tensing instantly!

"drink!"

Accompanied by a low growl like the howl of a wild boar!

Zhang Dapan suddenly twisted his waist, and using the momentum of his huge weight, his right fist, accompanied by a whistling wind, slammed hard into the test stake!

"Bang!"

A dull thud echoed in the testing room, and the three-meter-high test stake swayed slightly.

The electronic screen above lit up instantly, and the numbers began to skyrocket:

10...

30...

50...

80...

Finally, the numbers slowed down and eventually settled steadily on a bright red number:

Combat Power: 103

Just crossed the line, a close call!

Upon seeing this.

Zhang Dapan seemed to have all his strength drained away, and let out a long sigh of relief. A wildly joyful smile immediately bloomed on his honest, chubby face!

It's approved!

I passed the assessment!

From now on, I will be a first-rank martial artist!

He was so excited he wanted to shout!

Because it was in the assessment room, I had no choice but to endure it.

Zhang Dapan was so excited that he could only shed tears, his chest heaving uncontrollably, and his face flushed with excitement.

Because he knew all too well what becoming a first-rank martial artist meant for an ordinary family like his!

That's not just the fixed allowance of 10,000 yuan that the Wushu Association gives out every month!

It is also a stepping stone to upward social mobility!

With this first-grade martial artist badge, he can join a martial artist team to do missions in the abyss and make a lot of money!

Major security groups and conglomerates are offering million-dollar annual salaries to compete for talent!

In this era of advanced martial arts, the First-Rank Martial Artist Badge is ten times more valuable than the so-called "Double First-Class" university diplomas of the past!

Not to mention those elite schools specifically for the descendants of martial artists.

This means his son will win at the starting line!
