After leaving Gao Yurong's home, the sky had already gone completely dark. Gao Yurong had wanted to have someone drive him back, but Wang Yi refused.
He did not want rumors spreading through the neighborhood again that he was being kept by a rich woman.
"Let's do some extra training today."
Before long, Wang Yi arrived outside the courtyard of the Guqing District Limit Martial Arts School.
Beep. He skillfully swiped his card at the main entrance. As he walked in, he suddenly remembered that he seemed not to have signed in today.
According to the rules, he should be able to sign in once at the martial arts school.
"Panel." Wang Yi hurriedly muttered in his heart.
A golden panel appeared before Wang Yi.
"Sign in."
Ding! Congratulations, Host. Sign-in successful. Reward: Body Movement Experience +1. Your Body Movement has improved. Remaining sign-ins at this location: 0
Wang Yi raised his eyebrows when he heard that.
A Martial Artist's physical fitness could be improved through cultivation.
But Body Movement, Blade Technique, and the like all depended on experience.
It was not as though stronger physical strength automatically meant better Body Movement.
To improve one's Body Movement and Blade Technique, one had to undergo repeated, grueling practice. There were no Shortcuts.
Solid, Proficient, and effortless mastery—these were the first three stages of Blade Technique.
And that was merely the foundation, the lowest level among human Martial Artists.
Body Movement as a whole could be divided into four major levels: Foundation—Subtle—Perfect—Artistic Conception!
"I never expected the Sign-in Panel to be able to improve my Body Movement. This is unbelievable." Wang Yi sensed a vast amount of knowledge and memories appearing out of nowhere in his mind. At the same time, an instinct surged through his body, as though he had undergone tens of millions of training sessions. That awareness and experience of dodging through Body Movement had already fused into his physical instincts!
It was extremely difficult for ordinary Martial Artists to improve their Body Movement. Unless they were geniuses, they had to go through extensive training to improve little by little.
Even after more than ten years of hard training, Wang Yi had only barely reached the first stage of foundational Body Movement—Solid. He still had a long way to go before reaching Proficient.
Yet one sign-in with the Sign-in Panel had raised him from Solid to Proficient!
Unbelievable!
The improvement in his Body Movement had also made Wang Yi stronger.
After all, Body Movement was part of one's strength!
As Wang Yi rejoiced, he could not help thinking, "The Limit Martial Arts School in Guqing District can be signed in at. Then the Thunderclap Martial Arts School should be the same."
There were currently two major martial arts schools in the world: the Limit Martial Arts School founded by the world's strongest man, Hong, and the Thunderclap Martial Arts School founded by the world's second strongest man, Thunder God!
Those two were true supreme experts standing at the pinnacle of the human world!
Either one of them could be called invincible in the human world!
However, Thunder God ranked first in the world in speed, physical strength, and force amplitude!
Meanwhile, Hong possessed an even more heaven-defying domain!
He could crush anyone who refused to submit!
Of course, Wang Yi knew how terrifying Hong and Thunder God were. He knew that the gap between himself and those two was no less than the difference between the sun and the moon and a firefly. But that only gave him even more motivation to catch up.
"With the Sign-in Panel, this divine artifact, if I still can't surpass Hong and Thunder God, then I'm truly useless!"
Wang Yi's heart burned with passion.
"But I've already signed in once today. I'll have to wait until tomorrow to sign in at the district's Thunderclap Martial Arts School."
The Sign-in Panel could only be used once a day, and each location could only be signed in at once.
There were other restrictions as well.
Wang Yi wore his Advanced Martial Arts Student badge as he walked through the martial arts school courtyard. It was already past seven in the evening. Since most of the students were either students or office workers, there were not many people during the day, while nights were much livelier. At this moment, many students stood on the lawn and along the paths. When they saw Wang Yi, they greeted him with respect on their faces.
"Senior Brother!"
"Hello, Senior Brother."
Wang Yi smiled and nodded in response, but he was thinking about his own matters.
"My Gene Level has now increased threefold, and my Body Movement has reached the Proficient level. Passing the Quasi-Warrior Assessment will be absolutely no problem."
To become a Martial Artist, one had to undergo two assessments, and the Quasi-Warrior Assessment was the first.
It tested punching strength, speed, and Neural Reaction Speed!
With Wang Yi's current physical fitness, he had long surpassed the physical standards of a Quasi-Warrior and reached the level of a true Martial Artist.
Of course, physical fitness was only the most basic part. True Martial Artists had all gone through countless life-and-death battles. Combat experience, willpower, and performance under pressure were also extremely important.
That was why there was a Warrior Combat Assessment.
It filtered out those whose physical fitness met the standard but who were incapable in actual combat.
"But I've improved too quickly. Previously, my punching strength was only around 800 kilograms, and many people in the entire martial arts school know that. If I suddenly reveal overly powerful strength, I'm afraid it will attract unnecessary suspicion." Wang Yi understood this clearly.
Rising from 800 kilograms to 850 kilograms could be explained by saying you were a genius.
If you could learn certain special force techniques, then even doubling or tripling your strength was not impossible.
Those would already be Peerless Geniuses who appeared only once every ten years.
Soaring from 800 kilograms to 2,400 kilograms?
What would others think of him?
The trouble caused by that would probably annoy Wang Yi to no end.
After all, Wang Yi's every movement was fixed and obvious. A simple investigation would reveal everything.
Nor could he explain how he had suddenly become so powerful.
"I can't take the risk!" Wang Yi was very clear-headed.
"Even if I reveal my strength, it should be after the Quasi-Warrior Assessment, once I obtain the Gene Energy Cultivation Method!"
The Gene Energy Cultivation Method was humanity's method of absorbing cosmic energy to optimize and evolve one's genes!
It was like the internal cultivation manuals in ancient martial arts novels!
Except what it cultivated was Gene Energy!
And what it strengthened was the body!
Once strengthened to a certain extent, even modern thermal weapons could be ignored!
However, the Gene Energy Cultivation Method was confidential. One could only obtain it after passing the Quasi-Warrior Assessment, and one's physical fitness had to reach the Quasi-Warrior level for there to be a chance of cultivating it successfully!
The overwhelming majority of Quasi-Warriors could cultivate it successfully. Only a very small number could not.
Of course, Wang Yi did not believe that his current body, with a threefold Gene Level, would fail to cultivate it successfully.
"Furthermore, the first cultivation of Gene Energy is also when the progress is greatest!"
Wang Yi's eyes gleamed.
"At that time, even if my physical fitness Greatly increases, others will only think I'm one of those rare Peerless Geniuses. They'll be too busy trying to recruit me—why would they suspect me?"
Wang Yi remembered very clearly that in the original work, Luo Feng had relied on the cheat ability of Mental Power. During his first cultivation of Gene Energy, his physical fitness had surged tremendously, shocking Jiang Nian, the district martial arts school instructor. Jiang Nian had directly recommended him upward to Zhuge Tao, the director of the Jiangnan Base City headquarters, and he had signed a Special Recruitment Contract!
Even the treatment offered by that contract made the current Wang Yi green with envy.
"Luo Feng increased his punching strength by only 2,000 kilograms, yet he was treated as a freak genius who appeared only once or twice a year in Jiangnan Base City. My physical fitness should give me a punching strength of around 2,400 kilograms. If I keep training during this time, then during my first awakening and cultivation of Gene Energy, I can probably Greatly increase it again!"
"Plus sign-ins!"
"Raising it by four or five thousand kilograms during my first cultivation would be perfectly normal, right?"
"Joining an Elite Training Camp wouldn't be unreasonable either, right?"
"Tut, tut. I really am a genius."
