"Come on, let's test your speed and reflexes again. If you pass, you can take the assessment tomorrow."

Chapter 97 Genius Martial Artist

Luo Yan easily passed the last two challenges.

He finally earned the qualification to go to the Yangzhou headquarters to take the assessment.

The preliminary martial arts assessment is held once a month on the 1st at the Yangzhou headquarters of the Extreme Martial Arts Academy.

After Jiang Nian submitted Luo Yan's identity information, the two brothers couldn't wait to set off.

The assessment is at eight o'clock tomorrow morning, and it would be too late to leave tomorrow. They told their families that they would be staying out overnight and then went to the Yangzhou headquarters.

They stayed overnight at a local hotel and entered the main building early the next morning.

Once all the test takers and other candidates had arrived, the assessment finally began.

"I am Wu Tong, the head instructor of the Yangzhou branch. There are eight people here to register for the assessment today. Please line up and come forward one by one, and give me your ID cards."

The first person stepped forward and handed his ID card to Wu Tong. Wu Tong then swiped the ID card on the device and said, "Alright, information entered successfully. You can begin the assessment now. The first test is your punching power, so perform well."

The first person was a burly man in his thirties with a crew cut. He said "Yes" in a restrained manner and stood in front of the punching bag, and began to throw punches.

boom!

"890KG"

"Tsk tsk, ten kilograms short, failing grade, next one."

The burly man with the crew cut turned pale and said anxiously, "Chief Instructor, I was just a little nervous and didn't perform well. Can you give me another chance? My usual punching power is over 900KG."

Wu Tong said calmly, "I will give you a chance, but will the monsters give you a chance on the battlefield? If your punching power is below par, you are below par. Train yourself better next time and come back for the test!"

The burly man with the crew cut tried to plead, but Wu Tong only glared at him. The imposing aura honed in bloody battles made the man's heart pound, and he dared not act rashly.

Having failed upon meeting the first person, Luo Feng began to feel nervous for Luo Yan: "I hope that Brother can perform steadily and pass the test."

The first person's poor performance affected the second person as well.

"895KG, failing grade, next one."

The second man retreated with a gloomy expression.

Then came the third person, and the fourth person.

The candidates this year don't seem to be very good; none of the first four people passed the punching test.

Gradually, Wu Tong's expression also became impatient.

“The fifth one…” Wu Tong picked up Luo Yan’s ID card: “Eighteen years old. At such a young age, you’re participating in the quasi-martial artist assessment. Your predecessors all failed miserably.”

Luo Yan said confidently, "I'm different from them, I'm a genius!"

Wu Tong laughed and said, "It's good for young people to be confident, but they also need to have real skills. Go on, let me see if you can pass the punching test."

Without hesitation, Luo Yan walked up to the punching bag and threw a standard straight punch.

The instrument immediately displayed a set of numbers: "1050KG".

Luo Feng was overjoyed: "That's great! Big Brother performed even better than yesterday!"

Wu Tong's eyes lit up: "Good, not bad, you really are a genius. The next two tests are speed and nerve reaction. As long as you pass them, you will be a quasi-martial artist."

Luo Yan passed the punching power test, and the other candidates looked at him with envy.

Luo Yan stood aside, waiting for the others to complete the first test.

Of the eight people, only two completed the test: Luo Yan and Yang Yang.

In the second stage, the speed test, the passing standard is 25 meters per second.

Luo Yan passed easily, but Yang Yang was eliminated because of his score of /s.

Luo Yan was the only candidate left.

In the final neurological reaction test, the challenge was to dodge rubber bullets fired at you while inside a circle.

You pass if you don't touch the red light at the edge of the circle within one minute and are hit by fewer than thirty bullets.

In the original story, Luo Feng passed the test by being hit by bullets twenty-eight times but not touching the red light.

Dodging bullets wasn't difficult for Luo Yan. He activated his Nen ability, En, and everything within a fifteen-meter radius was within his perception.

Luo Yan knew exactly where the barrel of the gun that fired the rubber bullets was positioned and its orientation.

In the final test, he passed the assessment with an excellent score.

"That's great! Big Brother succeeded! He's become a quasi-martial artist!" Luo Feng jumped up excitedly.

Wu Tong smiled and encouraged him, "Not bad, an eighteen-year-old aspiring martial artist is a good prospect. Train hard and strive to become stronger."

"Thank you for the compliment, Chief Instructor," Luo Yan replied with a smile.

"After passing the assessment, you will receive a certificate within seven days, and then you will officially become a prospective martial artist. Next month, you will participate in a practical assessment with other prospective martial artists. After passing, you will become a formal martial artist."

"One month, instructor. Can I participate in the practical assessment earlier? I don't want to wait that long."

"What nonsense are you talking about? Becoming a quasi-martial artist will grant you access to the cultivation method for gene energy. The first time you cultivate gene energy, your physical attributes will be greatly improved."

"It's safer to participate in the practical assessment later. Trying to have a practical assessment now is just courting death."

Luo Feng also advised, "Brother, there's no rush. Let's listen to the head instructor."

Luo Yan shook his head and said, "No, I want to become a martial artist as soon as possible. I can't wait that long."

Luo Yan said to Wu Tongdao, "Instructor, how about we make a bet? If I can master gene energy today, you can let me participate in the practical assessment immediately, how about that?"

Wu Tong laughed and said, "Do you know what it means to have successfully cultivated today? To complete the cultivation of gene energy in one day is the mark of a genius among geniuses. If you can do it, I will immediately recommend you to participate in the practical assessment."

"Okay, it's a deal."

"A word is settled!"

Wu Tong asked Luo Feng to leave, and then entered the secret room with Luo Yan. He then operated a transparent panel and brought up an article.

"This is the 'Gene Energy Cultivation Method.' You will cultivate here, and I want to see if you can succeed."

Luo Yan stared intently at the cultivation technique on the screen, and soon he had a good grasp of it.

"Gene Origin Energy Cultivation Method" is a cultivation technique developed by elite human martial artists during the Great Nirvana period.

The Great Nirvana period was only a few decades ago. In such a short time, what kind of exquisite techniques could have emerged?

The most essential posture in "Gene Energy Cultivation Method," the Five Hearts Facing Heaven, is fundamentally the entry-level foundation for internal energy cultivation techniques in the martial arts world.

Having absorbed Luo Yan's memories from the martial arts world, and having already cultivated the Northern Darkness Divine Art, he now understood the "Gene Origin Energy Cultivation Method" perfectly, grasping all the key points instantly.

In front of Wu Tong, Luo Yan sat cross-legged, entered a state of concentration and tranquility, and began to comprehend the energy in the universe.

Because of his experience in cultivating with other Luo Yans, he quickly entered a state of focus, sensed the existence of cosmic energy, and, guided by his mental power, countless cosmic energies began to flow into Luo Yan's body.

"How is this possible? Sensing cosmic energy so quickly? It's only been a short time, less than a minute!" Wu Tong was utterly astonished.

"Moreover, there is so much cosmic energy gathered here. To be able to absorb so much cosmic energy on the first day of cultivation, this little guy's strength will probably increase several times over later."

When an average person first begins cultivating their genetic energy, the amount of cosmic energy they can absorb is approximately five parts, if quantified.

As for Luo Yan, he had at least a hundred copies.

And it continues to absorb, as if there is no end in sight.

"Everyone's cosmic energy is stored in their cells. No matter how talented this kid is, his body has its limits. How come he hasn't stopped absorbing it yet?"

Wu Tong's gaze was filled with surprise and uncertainty.

The secret to Luo Yan's ability to absorb such vast cosmic energy lies in the workings of the microcosm within the Saint Seiya world.

The moment Luo Yan began cultivating his genetic energy, his microcosm was activated. Responding to the energy of the macrocosm, his microcosm desperately plundered external energy to strengthen itself.

Luo Yan's body had already absorbed enough cosmic energy. Around the fiftieth portion, all his cells were saturated.

The cosmic energy that follows is actually absorbed by the microcosm.

"He has already absorbed a thousand units of cosmic energy. This is beyond genius; he's a freak. No, I must report this to the Jiangnan Base headquarters. The Limit Martial Arts Academy absolutely cannot miss out on this genius, Luo Yan."

Wu Tong realized what was happening and quickly dialed the phone number of the person in charge of the Jiangnan Base Extreme Martial Arts Hall.

The person on the other end of the phone was also surprised to hear Wu Tong's report: "Wu Tong, are you sure that kid named Luo Feng absorbed more than a thousand portions of cosmic energy on his first attempt at cultivating gene energy?"

"Yes, Manager Zhuge, Luo Yan is absolutely a genius among geniuses. Our Extreme Martial Arts Academy must not miss out on him."

Zhuge Tao pondered for a moment and said, "Alright, test his strength immediately after he finishes his cultivation."

If he is talented enough, our Extreme Martial Arts Academy can exempt him from the practical combat assessment and make him a martial artist.

Having confirmed his strength, I authorize you to offer the highest contract from the Ultimate Martial Arts Academy to recruit Luo Yan.

If necessary, he could also be given a spot in an elite training camp.

"A spot in the elite training camp!" Wu Tong exclaimed in surprise.

The so-called elite training camp, also known as the war god preparation camp, means that once you enter this training camp, as long as you are not eliminated, your strength will basically be at the war god level after graduation.

The thought that a potential war god could emerge from his jurisdiction filled Wu Tong with pride.

Looking at Luo Yan, who was still absorbing cosmic energy, he thought to himself, "Luo Yan, you'd better work hard and strive for a spot in the elite training camp!"

Chapter 98 A Hundred Billion Contract

The Cosmo, the mysterious source of the human body in the Saint Seiya world.

Saint Seiya can greatly enhance their strength, speed, and five senses by using the power of their Cosmo.

Ordinary Bronze and Silver Saints can only develop their Cosmo to the Fifth Sense.

Even so, their strength is astonishing; their fists can easily pierce through steel plates, and their feet can shatter the earth with a single kick.

A select few Saints who have developed their Cosmo to the level of a sixth sense will possess numerous superhuman powers, including manipulating elements, foreseeing the future, telekinesis, flight, illusion, mind reading, mental control, and intuition…

The stronger one's sixth sense, the more superpowers one will acquire.

Becoming a Gold Saint and mastering the seventh sense, Manas, is considered being a demigod, with one's mind, soul, spirit, and will reaching an inconceivable level.

As for the eighth and ninth senses, those are realms of gods and immortals, so we won't consider them for now.
