Warrior Practical Combat Assessment!

After turning down yet another female student's confession, Gu Ce returned to a manor in the main urban district.

Being too handsome was a kind of trouble too.

At 1.91 meters tall, with Gu Ce's handsome face, misty azure eyes, rebellious white hair, and the title of genius warrior, he had attracted who knew how many girls' infatuation. From childhood until now, it had practically never stopped.

Incidentally, the white hair was inherited from his family.

"I'm back!"

The moment he entered, Gu Ce casually flung the shopping bag in his hand, and it landed steadily on the sofa in the living room.

"What did that kid Wang Heng say?" On the sofa, Gu Hesheng put away his newspaper and spoke calmly.

"Brother Wang said that once I pass the Warrior Practical Combat Assessment, I can go straight to the global headquarters' training camp. He's prepared the highest-grade contract for me." Gu Ce plopped down on the sofa on the other side and impatiently opened the shopping bag, taking out what was inside.

A box of exquisitely packaged nama chocolate.

After Gu Hesheng tasted one piece, he frowned. "Too sweet."

"You still have to wait until the practical assessment is over? With your talent and my Gu Family's foundation, you could become a War God even if you didn't go. If they didn't have a large amount of rare resources, and Thor, I wouldn't even want to let you go," Gu Hesheng said.

"I think they said it was some Elite Training Camp?" Gu Ce said after eating the last piece of nama chocolate.

"Elite Training Camp? That's not bad. Only War Gods can graduate. Maybe in the future, you'll be able to step into Council Member Level." Gu Hesheng's tightly furrowed brows eased slightly.

"When the time comes, say something to your uncle. He has some connections in the Lightning Martial Arts School too," Gu Hesheng reminded him.

"That won't be necessary." Gu Ce smiled confidently. "My future is to surpass Hong and Thor. It's just a mere training camp. I'm the strongest!"

"You child!" Gu Hesheng glared. "Do you think I'm afraid for you? I'm afraid you'll accidentally beat someone to death and draw out those old fellows! Most of the people in the Elite Training Camp are War God descendants, and some even have Council Member experts in their families. If you cause trouble, even your uncle won't be able to protect you!"

"It's not as if a War God bullying the young has never happened before!"

Gu Ce was at a loss for words for a moment and did not continue.

That was indeed something he was capable of doing.

Confidence was part of his mental state cultivation!

Charging forward without hesitation, an absolute expert's mindset, always maintaining the conviction that victory was in hand.

Which level of mental state this belonged to, Gu Ce did not know, but it was not important.

Everyone's mental state cultivation was different. Gu Ce was confident that his was the best, and also the strongest!

Of course, confidence did not mean being brainless, nor did it mean being reckless.

"Your uncle is a High-level War God, after all. The face that should be given will still be given. I don't ask you to restrain yourself. Just tell your uncle when you beat someone to death," Gu Hesheng continued.

Gu Ce nodded, indicating that he understood.

"If there's nothing else, I'll head off first!" Gu Ce was just about to leave when Gu Hesheng called him back.

"Wait. Take this." Gu Hesheng handed over a silver card. "There's five billion in the card. If you need anything later, buy it yourself. If it's not enough, tell me."

"Thanks, Dad!" Gu Ce took the card and returned to his room with a smile.

"That kid!" Gu Hesheng shook his head helplessly.

The Gu Family, though not some great clan, still had some reputation in Jiangnan Base City.

The Gu Family had been passed down to his generation, and there were only two men: Gu Hesheng and Gu Hechang.

Gu Hechang was Gu Hesheng's elder brother, which made him Gu Ce's uncle, and he was a High-level War God. He had not joined any major faction, but he was registered with the HR Alliance. Among War Gods, he was considered one of the stronger ones, second only to Invincible War Gods. He was a warrior skilled with the sword.

As for Gu Hesheng himself, he was also a Beginner War God, attached to the Lightning Martial Arts School. He could be counted as half of Wang Heng's superior. After he was injured in the Wilderness Area, and also in order to take care of Gu Ce, he remained in Jiangnan Base City.

It was not common for both Gu brothers to be War Gods, and they were very famous among the War God community. Now that Gu Ce had revealed such astonishing talent, barring any accidents, theirs would become a family of three War Gods in the future. Gu Ce even had a very high chance of becoming an existence beyond War Gods—a Council Member Level expert!

Unfortunately, he was far too confident.

Gu Hesheng was somewhat worried. With Gu Ce's personality, once he experienced failure, he might never recover and get stuck in a dead end. Of course, if he could stand back up after experiencing failure, he would also complete a transformation of the soul and become even stronger.

Although this confidence was, to a great extent, inherited from their old Gu Family, still.

It was all his fault. Back then, he had failed to protect the boy's mother. Sigh.

Time passed, and soon it was August 1st, the day of the Warrior Practical Combat Assessment.

The Quasi-Warrior Assessment had already been passed ahead of time through the joint arrangements of Wang Heng and Gu Hesheng, so there was no need to worry.

As for the Five Hearts Towards Heaven cultivation method, Gu Hesheng had also taught it to Gu Ce. He successfully cultivated it that very night, and in one stroke increased his strength by more than three thousand kilograms, already reaching the threshold of an Advanced Warrior!

Punching strength: 4110kg

Speed: 67m/s

Nerve reaction speed: Full marks for Elementary General! Excellent for Mid-level General!

This was the physical data Gu Ce currently displayed to the outside world. It did not represent his actual combat ability.

"This is your combat uniform and combat boots. This is the Longevity Sword Series 2 you need." An officer handed Gu Ce a set of equipment. "This is a communications watch, with positioning, communication, and other functions. As for a shield, since you don't need one, we didn't prepare one for you."

"Okay." Gu Ce nodded, his eyes full of excitement.

The officer looked at him a couple more times, somewhat amazed. What had this child grown up eating to get this tall?

Elsewhere.

In the monitoring room, several important figures sat there, watching Gu Ce on the screen.

"Wang Heng, is this that sixteen-year-old genius youth from the Gu Family?" someone asked aloud.

Wang Heng showed off a little and smiled smugly. "What? Envious?"

"Yes, I'm envious," that person admitted frankly. "How about letting him come to my Limitless Martial Arts School? I'll think of a way to contact the Hall Master."

"Zhuge Tao, don't even think about stealing him." Wang Heng's eyes widened at once. "Your Limitless Martial Arts School has always been one step above my Lightning Martial Arts School, and now you still want to steal my genius? I'm warning you, Gu Ce has already caught our Hall Master's attention."

"Haha, look how anxious you are." Zhuge Tao burst out laughing.

"Enough. Let's see how this little fellow does in actual combat later," another person said, interrupting their argument.

Wang Heng snorted coldly and looked toward the large screen.

"Luo Feng."

A clear voice rang out across the square, and a figure ran to the very front of the line.

Gu Ce looked at that figure with a strange expression. He had not expected Luo Feng to become a warrior this year.

Although before transmigrating, he had read the book Swallowed Star quite a few times, and it was a book he liked very much, who would read a book and remember the years in it in detail?

However, although he had met the protagonist, Gu Ce had no intention of going up to greet him.

Gu Ce was confident that he would not be weaker than anyone!

So what if he was the protagonist?

Who wasn't the protagonist of their own life?

Because of Gu Ce's involvement, Luo Feng did not meet the other two geniuses recruited in advance.

Under the officer's lead, more than a thousand quasi-warriors marched grandly toward Monster Town. By the time they reached the outskirts of the town, the sun had already set.

"This practical combat assessment will follow the same rules as before! It will begin punctually at 6:30 tonight. At 6:30 tomorrow morning, the assessment will end!"

"The more monsters you kill, the more points you gain. For every monster you kill, cut off the monster's left ear as proof."

"Remember, quasi-warriors are forbidden from killing each other. All your activities are under surveillance. Violators will be executed on the spot!"

"..."

"Remember, if you are seriously injured, you can press the rescue button on your communications watch. Someone will immediately come to save you... but at that moment, it will also mean your Warrior Practical Combat Assessment is over."

"All quasi-warriors, move out! Enter Monster Town!"

After reading out a long list of precautions, the officer waved his hand and announced the official start of the assessment.
