The Next, Number 58, Jiang Fan

After awakening, ordinary people can break through the accumulation of Qi and Blood and become quasi-Martial Artists.

Quasi-Martial Artists use gene serums to open gene locks and break through the Qi and Blood limit.

As Qi and Blood increase, combat power also increases.

However, as the Martial Association President mentioned, the ratio between Qi and Blood and combat power will remain within a fixed range.

The specific combat power still depends on the mastery level of the cultivation technique.

Simply put, the better the cultivation technique and the higher its mastery level, the stronger the combat power will be.

Theoretically, combat power can achieve a huge gap with Qi and Blood.

But in reality, not many people can achieve this.

Firstly, advanced cultivation techniques are extremely rare and difficult for ordinary people to obtain. At most, they can only learn common fist and foot techniques from the "Martial Arts True Understanding" or widely available techniques from martial arts schools.

Secondly, cultivating the mastery level of cultivation techniques is also extremely difficult.

Cultivation technique mastery levels are divided into beginner, minor completion, major completion, perfect, and micro-entry.

It becomes harder to cultivate as you progress!

Ordinary people can at best cultivate to the beginner level.

For Ling Yutang to cultivate his family's Ruyi Fist Style to major completion, he has clearly put in a lot of effort.

Even though the Ruyi Fist Style is not a profound technique, achieving this level is already extremely rare.

This is why the Martial Association President is quite satisfied with Ling Yutang.

"It's just... his combat awareness is a bit lacking, at most he's around two stars!"

The level of Qi and Blood and combat power can only measure the basic foundation of a person.

In actual combat, victory or defeat ultimately depends on combat awareness.

For example, a wolf's combat power is clearly inferior to a tiger's.

However, if the wolf has keen combat awareness, there's a chance it could wear down a tiger.

And Ling Yutang clearly falls short in this aspect.

"But it's okay, maybe he hasn't participated in enough real combat!"

"With some training, there's still plenty of room for improvement!"

After observing for a while, the Martial Association President had already analyzed Ling Yutang thoroughly.

At this moment, the assessment on stage was also drawing to a close.

Wei Xin unleashed a fierce Cleaving Wind Palm Style attack. Before Ling Yutang could react, the palm was already at his throat.

This was the kill zone!

Ling Yutang lost!

"Alright!"

The Martial Association President called a halt in time and walked over with a smile.

"Yutang, you did very well!"

"Wei Xin is one of the stronger Level Two assessors in our Martial Arts Association!"

"His Qi and Blood value is as high as 32. The fact that you could fight him for so long is enough to demonstrate your strength!"

As he spoke, he nodded to Team Leader Wang.

"Make a note: Ling Yutang, Level Two Martial Artist assessment, passed!"

"Award the Level Two Martial Artist badge!"

Team Leader Wang quickly jotted it down.

Seeing this, Ling Yutang showed a hint of joy.

"Thank you, Uncle Wu! I still have a lot of areas to work on!"

The Martial Association President nodded.

"There's still significant room for improvement in combat awareness!"

"But it's fine, there's still time before our Martial Arts Association's genius competition. With some targeted training, it won't be a problem!"

Ling Yutang, who was initially pleased by the Martial Association President's praise, felt a jolt when his combat awareness was mentioned.

Although the Martial Association President's words were subtle, he could clearly sense that the President was not entirely satisfied with him in this regard.

The Martial Association President did not notice Ling Yutang's subtle reaction.

He said to Team Leader Wang.

"Alright, you continue with the rest."

"If you find any promising talents, remember to inform me promptly!"

He then turned back and smiled at Li Yutang.

"Let's go, Yutang, come sit at my place!"

"In a bit, I'll have them prepare your Level Two Martial Artist badge and send it over!"

Li Yutang suddenly shook his head.

"Uncle Wu, let's just wait here!"

The Martial Association President was taken aback.

"Here? Are you sure?"

Li Yutang smiled and said tactfully, "Yes, I've always known my combat awareness is quite weak!"

"In school, there are very few opportunities for actual combat!"

"There are still many people here being assessed, so I want to observe for a while longer, and maybe I can learn some experience from others!"

Since the Martial Association President had just mentioned his weak combat awareness, the deep-thinking Li Yutang immediately wanted to show off and leave a good impression on the Martial Association President.

The Martial Association President felt a mix of amusement and speechlessness.

As an experienced veteran, how could he not see through Li Yutang's intentions?

However, he currently had plans to cooperate with Li Yutang, so he pretended not to notice and indulged him.

"Good, you have initiative and are eager to improve!"

"Your future is boundless!"

Beside them, Team Leader Wang kept his eyes on his nose and his nose on his heart. He immediately patted the assessment officer next to him, and the assessment officer quickly made way for two seats.

The Martial Association President, without any pretense, pulled Li Yutang down to sit.

Next, others continued.

"First item, Qi and Blood value 0.98, failed! Have you awakened? Come for a Martial Artist assessment? Wasting time!"

"Second item, combat power 99, failed! Go back and cultivate your techniques and realm more, strive to raise your combat power soon, and you might have a chance to be assessed as a First-level Martial Artist next time!"

"Third item, poor combat awareness! Failed! You need more actual combat..."

"..."

One by one, assessment personnel came forward, and about over 80% of them failed!

Even those who passed the assessment barely scraped by!

According to the information provided by the girl at the front desk, today was the day with the most assessment candidates.

But even so, only this handful managed to pass, which showed how difficult it was to become a Martial Artist!

"Yutang, did you see that?"

"All those who passed the assessment were outstanding in combat awareness and cultivation realm!"

"So these two aspects are very important for a Martial Artist..."

Even though the Martial Association President knew that Li Yutang might just be putting on a show for him, he still guided and taught Li Yutang as an elder.

"Yes, Uncle Wu, Yutang understands!"

The Martial Association President nodded with satisfaction.

"Next candidate, number 58, Jiang Fan!"

Hearing his name, Jiang Fan stood up.

All the surrounding personnel had finished their assessments. Only the Martial Association President, Li Yutang, and the assessment officers remained in the room, making the entire space feel exceptionally empty.

As Jiang Fan stood up, everyone's attention turned to him.

Seeing his attire, several people couldn't help but frown.

He's from the outer city!

How could an outer city person of this age become a Martial Artist?

Among the candidates today, there were some older individuals from the outer city. They had awakened in their youth and, after many years of accumulation, finally had the money to buy a Level One gene serum and cultivate to break through to become Martial Artists.

These people often had very poor resources, and their cultivation realm and combat awareness barely passed.

Jiang Fan looked to be only in his teens. Was he here to try his luck?

Too naive!

Wasn't this a waste of everyone's time?

The expressions of several assessment officers, led by Team Leader Wang, couldn't help but turn cold.

They all thought, let's see if you can pass the Martial Artist certification!

If you fail, we'll make things difficult for you!

If you can't find the book title, you can try searching for the author. Maybe the name has just been changed!
