" Qianhe, do you think these two kids can pass my test?"
Yu Qianxia sat with her legs bent at the top of the Black Obsidian Rock, the edge of her hot pants brushing against the gravel on the rock surface, her gaze falling on Liu Ma and Chen Kong, who were warming up in the center of the training field.
Secretary Qianhe adjusted her glasses and calmly gave a response.
" Liu Ma should be fine. His Star Core: Golden Demon Bull and Star Source: Netherworld Warhorse are both standard Transformation type."
"As long as he can adapt to the sudden increase in physical fitness, it won't be difficult for him to complete the young lady's test."
"But Mr. Chen Kong's situation is hard to say..."
"Oh? Why?"
Yu Qianxia pressed for an answer.
"Because I still haven't been able to fully understand what Mr. Chen Kong's Star Core is, and as for his Star Source: The Visionary, his characteristics are too changeable, and anything can happen."
"It's like shooting at a target in the fog; no one can say for sure where the bullets he fires will end up."
"So he has a chance of passing or he may not pass; the key is to see to what extent he has developed his the Visionary."
Yu Qianxia smiled and said, "But he the Visionary with Rank Two Perfect Awakening. I think as long as he can replicate a suitable Star Core, it shouldn't be too difficult for him to pass the test."
The rational Qianhe remained noncommittal on this matter.
Based on her observations over the past few days, she discovered that although Chen Kong was also a member of the Starborn, his attributes were rather mediocre.
Although to ordinary people, Chen Kong is indeed an absolute genius.
But to the other children of the Starborn, he was a complete mediocre talent.
This can be seen from the progress made in the past two weeks.
During the same amount of training time, Liu Ma's Precision reached a solid 'B+' level, while Chen Kong was still hovering between 'C' and 'B'.
It's important to know that Liu Ma's key attributes are 'strength' and 'vitality'.
' Precision ' is his weakness.
As Special Trait type Star Envoy, ' Precision ' should have been Chen Kong's forte.
But even his strengths couldn't compare to Liu Ma's weaknesses.
This made Qianhe very pessimistic about him. She felt that with his talent and potential, if he hadn't been lucky enough to become a member of the Stellaris, he would at best be just an ordinary Star Envoy, and it would be difficult for him to achieve anything in the future.
Yu Qianxia's thoughts were similar to Qianhe's.
But she always felt that Chen Kong might not be as simple as it seemed on the surface.
Therefore, she still had high expectations for Chen Kong, thinking that he might be able to create a miracle.
Just then, Liu Ma, who was not far away, suddenly spoke up, " Boss Lady, I'm ready!"
"Okay, then you can begin. Remember, you only have one chance, so make the most of it."
Due to limited opportunities, Liu Ma's current playing style is very conservative.
He first attempted several attacks without using the Star Core and Star Source.
Only after confirming that his own power and control had reached a delicate balance did he begin to use the power of the Star Core.
As the Star Core: Golden Demon Bull was activated, his muscles expanded rapidly, like an inflating balloon.
In an instant, his originally well-fitting training clothes were stretched taut by his bulging muscles.
At the same time, a phantom image of a Golden Demon Bull flashed past behind him.
"Oh? So they're finally getting serious?"
Yu Qianxia chuckled softly, a hint of interest appearing in her eyes.
You have to understand that Liu Ma's series of conservative attacks were so boring that they almost put her to sleep.
After fully adapting to the Strength Amplification from the Golden Demon Bull, Liu Ma activated his Star Source: Netherworld Warhorse.
After fully adapting to the two forces, he finally unleashed his full power.
The force originates from the feet, is transmitted through the waist, and finally condenses in the fist.
The punch was thrown, Mountain Collapse!
Bang!
With a deafening roar, the five-meter-tall Black Obsidian Rock was struck by an invisible giant axe and split open right in front of Liu Ma.
Amidst the swirling black pebbles, Liu Ma opened his palm, and the egg in his hand was now completely undamaged, without even a crack.
Without a doubt, Liu Ma passed Yu Qianxia's test.
Snap! Snap! Snap!
Yu Qianxia clapped her hands, not holding back her praise.
"Good, good. Proceed step by step, and plan carefully before acting."
"Little Liu, you're finally starting to look like a true martial artist, no longer that bull with only brute strength."
Meanwhile, Liu Ma seems to be contemplating something.
It took her a long time before she looked up at Yu Qianxia and said with gratitude, " Boss Lady, I think I understand what you told me before."
"It seems that I am only one step away from a perfect breakthrough."
Yu Qianxia, who had always suppressed Liu Ma and prevented him from breaking through, surprisingly nodded this time.
"Yes, it's about time."
"It could be as quick as a week, or as slow as six months, but I feel you'll be able to truly forge your own path."
At this point, she turned to look at Chen Kong: "And you? When do you plan to start the assessment?"
Chen Kong did not respond immediately, but walked to Liu Ma's side and asked a few questions in a low voice.
After listening, Liu Ma gestured and said something. Chen Kong nodded, then turned to Yu Qianxia and said, "We can do it now."
Yu Qianxia extended her hand and made a "please" gesture.
Then, under the curious gaze of her and the Dimensional Audience, Chen Kong began her experiment.
Similar to Liu Ma, Chen Kong has also chosen a relatively conservative attack method, launching probing attacks little by little.
However, due to the significant power disparity between him and Liu Ma, his progress was considerably slower than Liu Ma's.
In addition, neither his Star Core · Mark of the Void nor the Star Source: The Visionary are types that can significantly enhance power.
As a result, after fighting for a long time, the Black Obsidian Rock in front of him not only failed to crack, but didn't even leave a trace, making it seem like a complete waste of effort.
To the surprise of the Dimensional Audience, Yu Qianxia seemed to have discovered something and said in astonishment, "Oh? This is interesting."
Upon hearing this, the Dimensional Audience began to observe Chen Kong closely and soon discovered that a pair of golden bull horns, exactly like Liu Ma's, had suddenly grown on his forehead.
'These cow horns look so familiar...'
'Holy crap, it's the Golden Demon Bull! Old Kong actually copied Liu Ma's Star Core?!'
'Wait, there's also the Nether Warhorse. Is Old Kong trying to perfectly replicate the success of the Old Ox?'
Amidst the curious gazes of the Dimensional Audience, Chen Kong, with his Perfect Awakening Star Source: The Visionary, not only completely replicated Liu Ma's ' Star Core ' and ' Star Source ' combination, but also perfectly copied Liu Ma's punching rhythm.
If it weren't for the huge difference in their body sizes, Dimensional Audience might even have thought that the production team was being lazy and secretly replayed the same scene.
boom!
After a loud bang, Chen Kong unsurprisingly shattered the Black Obsidian Rock in front of him, and the egg in his hand remained intact.
Seeing this, Yu Qianxia smiled and said, "Not bad, it's a perfect imitation show."
Although it was a bit of a shortcut, she still acknowledged Chen Kong's achievements.
Now that both boys have passed the test, she naturally has to keep her promise.
Yu Qianxia jumped down from the Black Obsidian Rock and walked up to the two of them. "Very good, one of you has learned perfect self-control, and the other has learned perfect imitation."
"I keep my word. Next, I will teach each of you a set of suitable Yu Clan Martial Skill."
As she said this, she looked at Chen Kong, and suddenly a pair of dark red pistols appeared in her hands.
" Chen Kong, I know that your most common fighting style is ranged shooting."
"Among the many martial artists in our Martial Arts Heavenly Capital, there are quite a few sharpshooters like you."
"But the battles of the Star Envoy are ever-changing, and anything can happen."
"Therefore, through a long period of exploration, the sharpshooters of Martial Arts Heavenly Capital gradually developed a special style of martial arts called— Gun-Fu."
"As one of the ' Five Vermin of the Heavens ' of the Martial Arts Heavenly Capital, our Yu Clan naturally also has its own exclusive Gun-Fu techniques."
"Watch closely, you brat from the Stellaris, I'll only demonstrate once. How much you learn depends on your own abilities."
As soon as she finished speaking, Yu Qianxia's figure... completely disappeared in front of Chen Kong.
