After studying the Spirit Vision Eye for a while, the food in his stomach had mostly been digested.
Wang Teng got up and went downstairs, calling out to his parents.
"Dad, Mom, I'm heading to the Martial Arts Hall."
Wang Sheng Guo had just returned from a business trip and did not go to the company that evening. Firstly, he was resting at home; secondly, he could keep his wife company.
At the moment, he and Li Xiumei were watching television in the living room.
Whenever the show reached an exciting part, he would even discuss the melodramatic plot with Li Xiumei.
In that respect, he was no different from the countless ordinary men in the world.
Hearing Wang Teng's voice, Wang Sheng Guo waved without turning around.
"Go on, don't interrupt your mom and me while we're watching TV! It's getting good!"
"Alright, I won't disturb you two elders!" Wang Teng rolled his eyes and made a quick escape.
Li Xiumei gave Wang Sheng Guo a smack and hurriedly called out, "Son, what do you want for a late-night snack? Mom will make it for you."
"Anything is fine, Mom. Just make whatever you like. I'm off!"
Wang Teng's voice drifted in from outside, followed by the Roaring Sound of a sports car.
Polar Star Martial Arts Academy.
After parking his car, Wang Teng walked along a path inside the academy and thought, I'll go straight to the Third Floor today. Someone already knows I'm stronger than an Intermediate Martial Disciple, so there's no point pretending otherwise. Still, it's best to put off revealing that I've become a Martial Warrior for a while.
Sigh, advancing too quickly was a headache too!
Even Wang Teng himself had not expected to become a Martial Warrior so quickly. He had originally thought it would happen at least after the National Higher Education Entrance Examination.
Accidents always came so suddenly!
Caught off guard, he nearly threw out his back!
Standing before the Martial Disciple Training Building, Wang Teng glanced at the Martial Warrior Training Building beside it and let out a deep sigh.
So close, yet so far!
Wang Teng entered the building and silently completed the test. His identity information was automatically updated, granting him the qualifications to go to the Third Floor.
After collecting a round of attributes from the first and second floors, he headed straight for the third floor!
The stairs leading to the Third Floor were in a rather conspicuous location.
Although Wang Teng did not want to draw attention, the moment he stepped onto those stairs, everyone noticed him.
"Wang Teng, I didn't expect you to become an Advanced Martial Apprentice so quickly!" an acquaintance came forward and said.
His tone was full of envy!
Martial Apprentice training only grew harder the further one progressed.
Many trainees here had been stuck at the Intermediate Martial Disciple stage for a long time, unable to break through the threshold to Advanced Martial Apprentice. How pitiful, how lamentable!
"Sigh, Zhang Shaoyang became an Advanced Martial Apprentice, and now another one is leaving."
"I heard the Education Bureau reformed the rules this year. Intermediate Martial Disciples can now take the martial arts National Higher Education Entrance Examination, but it has nothing to do with us."
"Damn it! Why didn't they introduce a policy like this earlier..."
The news of the Martial Arts Exam Expansion had only just come out, yet it had already spread like it had Wings. Everyone who needed to know already knew.
Quite a few of the Intermediate Martial Disciples present were martial artists from society, generally older and unable to take the National Higher Education Entrance Examination route.
Unlike students still in school, even Intermediate Martial Disciples now had a chance to rise further in the future.
To them, this news was not good news at all.
Instead, it was a blow!
Some people had simply been born in the wrong era and failed to Catch Up with a good opportunity!
The times did not favor them—what else could they do?
"Keep working hard. There will always be opportunities." Wang Teng nodded at the trainee and walked toward the Third Floor.
"That's right, there will always be opportunities!"
The trainee clenched his fists, and fighting spirit blazed anew in his eyes. He was only in his early twenties. It was far too early to give up now.
Within the crowd, a fatty watched Wang Teng leave with that smug, showy back and cursed inwardly, I knew it, I knew it! This guy was definitely hiding his strength. Otherwise, how could he have advanced faster than me? And how could he have become an Advanced Martial Apprentice in such a short time? This isn't martial arts at all.
Third Floor.
There were far fewer people than on the second floor. From the first floor to the third, the numbers decreased floor by floor, perfectly illustrating the pyramid principle.
Wang Teng's arrival made quite a few people stop training and turn to look at him.
"So young!"
"Another genius!"
"Hmph, genius?"
Wang Teng swept his gaze over the area. Attribute Bubbles covered the ground, and a flock of pure woolly sheep with two legs was waiting for him to shear them...
Wonderful!
At that moment, Zhang Shaoyang, who had only recently become an Advanced Martial Apprentice, walked over and stared at Wang Teng with a strange expression.
"Wang Teng, your speed is a little terrifying!"
"I've trained in martial arts since childhood. I'd also been at the Intermediate Martial Disciple stage for quite some time. I was just one opportunity away." Wang Teng smiled.
Zhang Shaoyang wore an expression that said he had known it, then threw an arm around Wang Teng's shoulder and led him inside.
"Come on, come on. Now that you're here, I finally have someone to spar with in fist techniques."
Over the course of the night, Wang Teng collected every Attribute Bubble on the Third Floor.
Another bountiful haul.
In total—
Comprehension*5 Spirit*6 Strength*153 Speed*66
Wang Teng currently paid greater attention to improving his comprehension and spirit, but these two attributes were as scarce as ever.
He had looked it up online.
Primal Force cultivation techniques and Origin Power Combat Skills were both quite profound, so they demanded high comprehension.
With high comprehension, cultivating techniques and combat skills would yield twice the results with half the effort. But if one's comprehension was too low, they would learn what true despair felt like.
Although Wang Teng could improve his techniques and combat skills by collecting attributes, Martial Warriors were already few in number. Moreover, they would not gather together like Martial Apprentices and let him shear them wave after wave.
So whenever there were attributes, he collected them. When there were none, he could only cultivate on his own!
Improving his comprehension was preparation for the future!
Still, at least Wang Teng could improve his comprehension by collecting attributes.
Drop by drop, it would eventually add up. If he accumulated enough over time, he refused to believe he could not stack his comprehension higher.
Unlike everyone else, if their comprehension was low, what could they do besides despair until death?
The Spirit Attribute affected the endurance of Spiritual Sight. This ability might prove incredibly useful in the future, so he needed to expand its battery capacity now.
Besides that, he had also collected quite a few attributes for Basic Footwork, Basic Fist Technique, Basic Sword Technique, and Basic Saber Technique that night.
These combat skills were now advancing toward another level beyond Subtlety.
After Subtlety came "Comprehending Momentum"!
Comprehending Momentum was the final stage of Basic Combat Skills. At this level, one would grasp Momentum. When fighting an opponent, one's imposing aura would move first.
To subdue an enemy's troops without fighting!
That was the effect of Momentum.
However, few people were willing to spend so much time training Basic Combat Skills to such a level. With that time and energy, they would be better off improving their strength to become Martial Warriors and cultivating Origin Power Combat Skills.
Wang Teng did not care. He was collecting attributes anyway, and there was no reason not to collect them.
Besides, mastering the basics was beneficial for cultivating Origin Power Combat Skills in the future. Only with a solid foundation could one build higher floors.
And besides the Basic Combat Skills he already had, Wang Teng had also obtained a new one—Basic Staff Technique (Entry Level)!
Staff technique!
Mm, mm, mm... would he have to get himself a Compliant Golden-Hooped Staff or a Wishing Iron Staff in the future??
Then shout—
"Hey, demon, let go of my master!"
