Quasi-Warrior Assessment

When Wang Yi entered the martial arts hall lobby, he began signing in.

Although he planned to visit Luo Feng's home to see if he had a chance to sign in for Mental Power, there was no rush. He could go tomorrow. After all, he had taken several days off, all the way until the College Entrance Exam.

At this point, the school had nothing left to teach. Everything depended on the students' own revision, and taking leave was not difficult.

The difficult part was convincing his parents.

Lin Youyu was somewhat upset because she already knew Wang Yi had decided to take the Quasi-Warrior Assessment and become a Martial Artist.

To her, it was like a bolt from the blue.

But Wang Yi had no choice. He could not give up the path of a Martial Artist because of Lin Youyu, apply to Jiangnan University, and spend his days blissfully together with her. It was unrealistic.

He was not an idiot. He knew what mattered more.

All he could do was set aside romance for the greater picture.

Fortunately, Lin Youyu was a sensible girl. A little coaxing was enough.

It just cost him a lot of saliva...

When Wang Yi signed in on the Sign-in Panel.

Ding! Congratulations, Host, sign-in successful. Reward: Body Movement Experience +2.

Your Body Movement has reached the Subtle level.

Remaining sign-ins available at this location: 0

"My Body Movement has actually reached the Micro-level Body Movement stage!"

Hearing the result of the sign-in reward, Wang Yi raised his brows in pleasant surprise.

As mentioned before, Body Movement was divided into four levels: Basic—Subtle—Perfect—Artistic Conception.

Do not underestimate Subtle just because it was only the second level. Very few Martial Artists could achieve it, and they made up only a tiny fraction of Martial Artists.

What was Subtle?

Micro-level Body Movement was a movement technique for evading attacks.

In life-and-death battles against monsters, one could make small movements with the body and let a monster's attack brush past without causing any injury!

Because the body moved only slightly, one could evade more times within the same amount of time, making it extremely efficient.

At the same time, this kind of movement technique was incredibly difficult. It was like dancing on a tightrope. Life-and-death battles were already perilous to begin with; one slight mistake could ruin everything. At best, one would be injured. At worst, death would be nothing surprising.

Furthermore, Subtle-level Body Movement could only be honed in life-and-death situations, and the strength gap between the two sides in battle could not be too large. Otherwise, there would be no effect from the training!

As a result, even among Wargod-level Martial Artists, most had not reached Micro-level Body Movement.

Even more powerful War God-level Martial Artists above the Wargod level could remain stuck at Micro-level Body Movement without being able to break through.

This showed just how difficult it was to cultivate Micro-level Body Movement!

In the original novel, Luo Feng had relied on his uniquely gifted Mental Power and honed himself through battle after battle before reaching Micro-level Body Movement!

Even so, he had already been considered a genius. When the Thunderclap Martial Arts School supervisor, that burly man, saw Luo Feng use pseudo-Micro-level Body Movement through Mental Power in the Warrior Combat Assessment surveillance footage, he had become incredibly excited. He wanted to recruit Luo Feng into the Thunderclap Martial Arts School and was even willing to offer an enormous price.

Of course, Luo Feng ultimately refused.

My Body Movement has already reached the Micro-level stage. A surge of excitement rose in Wang Yi's heart.

With his Body Movement realm improved, his strength naturally rose as well.

Moreover, Micro-level Body Movement was extremely powerful during the early stages of a Martial Artist's path.

"Sir, are you here for the Quasi-Warrior Assessment?"

In the martial arts hall lobby, a sweet-looking maiden smiled at the young man who had entered. "Sir, please sit over there. At ten in the morning, you will take the Quasi-Warrior Assessment together with the others."

Wang Yi swept his gaze around and saw a small bar beside the martial arts hall lobby, complete with a bartender and a server.

Several people were already seated inside the small bar.

They should be here for the Quasi-Warrior Assessment too, Wang Yi thought as he walked over.

The four people seated on the sofa also noticed Wang Yi. One of them was a tall, solidly built man with a square face, a full beard, a sleeveless shirt, and black trousers. He greeted Wang Yi in a booming voice, "Friend, are you here for the Quasi-Warrior Assessment too?"

"Hmm." Wang Yi nodded and chose to sit on the sofa opposite the tall man.

Beside him sat a young woman with short hair and a pretty face. More importantly, she had a curvaceous figure. Her pair of long, straight legs were tightly outlined beneath her jeans, making her very alluring.

However, there was a chill in her eyes and brows, so although the two men nearby occasionally glanced in her direction, neither had any intention of striking up a conversation.

"You look pretty young. Are you a university student?" One of the other two people sitting together and chatting, a young man with a fashionable hairstyle, could not help asking.

"Hmm." Wang Yi answered vaguely, unwilling to say more.

There was no point in showing off his age.

The tall man who had first greeted Wang Yi smiled. "Judging by the way you look, this should be your first time taking the Quasi-Warrior Assessment, right?"

"Yes." Wang Yi had a fairly good impression of this cheerful, smiling tall man.

"It's fate that we can take the Quasi-Warrior Assessment together. Let's get acquainted. My name is Jiang Qin, and I'm from Jianing District in Yangzhou City," the tall man introduced himself familiarly.

Wang Yi said, "Wang Yi, from Guqing District in Jiujiang City."

The moment Wang Yi finished speaking, everyone else in the small bar looked at him.

Jiang Qin could not help asking, "Little brother, you're from Jiujiang City. Why did you come here for the assessment? Wouldn't it be more convenient in Jiujiang City?"

"Heh, I happened to be passing through. I came to see a friend." Naturally, Wang Yi could not say he had come to see an NPC, so that was all he said.

Still, he was not lying. He really did want to meet Luo Feng.

"So that's how it is." Jiang Qin nodded and did not ask further.

As Wang Yi chatted with Jiang Qin and the others, he also learned their names. Apart from Jiang Qin, the other two men were Qin Mo and Situ You, while the woman was Yun Xue.

Jiang Qin was the oldest. He was already twenty-seven this year and had taken the Quasi-Warrior Assessment three times, almost once per year. This was now his fourth attempt.

However, Jiang Qin's tone was full of confidence. He probably felt that his chances were very good this time.

He even said that if he passed the Quasi-Warrior Assessment, he would treat Wang Yi and the others to a meal.

Wang Yi felt that this Big Brother had raised his flag too early. Yet he felt awkward saying anything, so he could only smile without speaking.

As time passed, more and more people gathered in the martial arts hall lobby. Besides Wang Yi, there were eleven others, making twelve people who had come for the Quasi-Warrior Assessment this month.

Compared to Yangzhou City's enormous population base, twelve people in a month was not many. Some of them, like Jiang Qin, had failed before and returned to take the assessment again.

When ten o'clock arrived, a middle-aged man wearing loose white training clothes appeared.

Wang Yi remembered that in the original novel, on July 1st, a white-haired Mental Master who was an old friend of Wu Tong, the martial arts hall's Head Instructor, would come by. He happened to run into the protagonist and gave Luo Feng a passionate speech of encouragement. But the timing was different now, so he probably would not encounter him.

What Wang Yi was actually curious about was how that Mental Master had gotten white hair. Was it dyed?

The original novel had never mentioned Mental Masters' hair changing color, so this question had occurred to Wang Yi when he read it.

Ahem, his thoughts had wandered a little too far.

Back to the present.

After saying a few words, the middle-aged man began leading the way.

Wang Yi and the other eleven people taking the Quasi-Warrior Assessment followed behind him toward the Sixth Layer of the martial arts hall.
