True Genius

Jiang Fan watched as everyone's expressions grew increasingly bizarre.

He could not help frowning.

He really had failed to hold back. Had he said something wrong?

Ever since he had begun cultivating and challenging opponents in the space, he had hardly fought anyone else in a real battle.

The only people who had ever fought him were Old Third Yue and his gang. By now, the grass on their graves had probably already grown tall.

Moreover, when challenging opponents in the space, he never had to worry about them dying. Even when he attacked with all his strength, he could barely injure them.

So now, he truly had no sense of measure when striking.

During his battle with Wei Xin just now, he had only made a probing attack, using at most eighty percent of his strength.

But he had never expected his opponent to be so unable to take a beating!

"Ah, haha!"

"As long as he isn't injured, that's good. As long as he isn't injured, that's good!"

"Team Leader Wang, arrange for someone to take Wei Xin for treatment!"

"I'll handle this young brother's affairs afterward!"

Seeing how awkward the situation had become, the Martial Association President hurriedly laughed it off.

After making the arrangements, he looked at Jiang Fan.

"Young brother, you should still be in school, right?"

Jiang Fan nodded slightly.

"High school!"

The Martial Association President's eyes lit up even more.

"Which high school?"

Jiang Fan glanced at him.

"Martial Association President, I should have passed the Level Two Martial Artist test, right?"

The Martial Association President was startled by his words and hurriedly said, "You passed, you passed!"

Jiang Fan nodded.

"When can I get my Martial Artist badge?"

The Martial Association President blinked.

"Right away! You'll get it right away!"

As he spoke, he walked to the examination platform, rummaged through Team Leader Wang's documents for a while, and found Jiang Fan's information.

"Come, come, come. I'll personally handle it for you right away!"

As he spoke, he enthusiastically pulled Jiang Fan out of the room.

The two walked forward along the corridor. After turning a corner, they arrived in the main hall.

"Martial Association President!"

When the receptionist saw the Martial Association President, she hurriedly stood up.

When she saw Jiang Fan beside him, she immediately thought, Oh no!

Jiang Fan must have come here to try his luck and been caught by the Martial Association President. He was dragging him over to hold her accountable.

If only she had known, she would have reminded Jiang Fan!

While secretly lamenting her bad luck, she also felt somewhat sorry for Jiang Fan.

Seeing the receptionist looking as though her soul had left her body, the Martial Association President frowned slightly.

However, with so many people around, he said nothing. Instead, he handed over the documents in his hand.

"Help me enter this young brother's information!"

The receptionist froze.

He wasn't here to hold her accountable?

She subconsciously accepted the documents. The moment she looked at them, she heard the Martial Association President add, "Martial Artist certification passed. Level Two Martial Artist!"

The receptionist's hand trembled, and she nearly dropped the documents onto the floor.

A... Level Two Martial Artist?

At such a young age?

She looked over Jiang Fan's information again in disbelief.

Seventeen years old!

She could not help sucking in a cold breath!

Although she was not a Martial Artist, she had worked at the Martial Arts Association for a long time and already had a clear understanding of the levels.

At Jiang Fan's age, being a Level Two Martial Artist could be described as nothing short of genius!

There were probably only a few people like that in all of River City!

And he was an Outer City resident, just like her!

That was incredible!

The receptionist took a deep breath and steadied her emotions. When she looked at Jiang Fan again, her eyes were filled with admiration.

While waiting, the Martial Association President explained to Jiang Fan, "Young brother, you may not know this!"

"After passing certification with our Martial Arts Association, it usually takes three to seven working days to produce a Martial Artist badge!"

"The normal process is for Team Leader Wang to submit the successful examination records to the front desk. After the front desk enters the information, it goes through the back office and is then sent to the production department for review!"

Only after the review could a Martial Artist badge bearing identity information be produced!

"But fortunately, I happen to be here today, so I'll handle it through a separate process. It'll be ready today!"

Jiang Fan nodded slightly.

The Martial Association President had said all this merely to win his favor.

But Jiang Fan was puzzled!

The president of the Martial Arts Association was very likely already a Level Five Martial Artist.

Although he was indeed a genius, logically speaking, that should not be enough for a Level Five powerhouse to treat him so courteously.

Could it be that the other party needed his help with something?

If so, what exactly was it?

A few minutes later, the receptionist finished entering the information and respectfully said, "President, it's all entered!"

The Martial Association President nodded.

"Good, come, come, come! Young brother, I'll take you to get your badge!"

As he spoke, he half-embraced Jiang Fan and walked toward the interior of the hall.

The familiarity of his manner left the receptionist staring blankly.

Equally dumbfounded were Wu Hao Yu and the others!

They had originally waited in the hall to watch Jiang Fan make a fool of himself.

But the longer they waited, the more irritated they became!

Just as their patience was about to run out, they saw Jiang Fan walk out with the president of the Martial Arts Association, chatting and laughing.

Moreover, from the looks of it, the president of the Martial Arts Association thought highly of Jiang Fan.

Wu Hao Yu's head was full of questions. After Jiang Fan and the president left, he went to the front desk and asked, "What did that Outer City resident come here with the president to do?"

The receptionist had already known the purpose of this group from earlier.

So when she heard Wu Hao Yu's question, she did not give him a pleasant look.

"Didn't you hear?"

"He just took the Martial Artist examination and passed the Level Two Martial Artist certification! He's a genius!"

"The vice president personally took him to get his badge!"

Wu Hao Yu's face suddenly went deathly pale.

"Impossible!"

"He's an Outer City resident, and he's still a high school student. How could he possibly be a Level Two Martial Artist?"

The receptionist's face darkened.

"What's wrong with being an Outer City resident?"

"The Martial Association President came over personally just now, and I handled it myself. Do you think I could be mistaken?"

Although she was not a Martial Artist, she worked at the Martial Arts Association. Naturally, she was not afraid of a few young brats like them.

Wu Hao Yu drew a deep breath and stood where he was with an ugly expression.

As for the lackeys beside him, they did not dare utter another word!

Several minutes later, he finally accepted the truth and slunk away.

He did not even notice that Su Mu Qing had not followed him.

The people in the hall dispersed!

Su Mu Qing returned to the sofa area and fell into deep thought!

The procedures for the Martial Artist badge were completed very quickly.

With the Martial Association President personally guiding him, it did not take long to complete every stage of the review process.

Inside the office.

The employee responsible for making badges brought up Jiang Fan's information on the screen. Then he took an empty Level Two Martial Artist badge, placed it beside the machine, and clicked the mouse.

The sound of laser cutting came from inside the machine.

About a minute later, a finished badge was pushed out through the outlet beside the machine.

"President, it's ready!"

The employee stood up and handed the badge to the Martial Association President with both hands.

The Martial Association President nodded, turned around, and handed the badge to Jiang Fan.

"Young brother, here you go!"

Jiang Fan accepted the Martial Artist badge.

It was shield-shaped and dark gold overall.

A soaring dragon pattern was engraved across its main body.

Above the pattern were the words "Jiang City Martial Arts Association."

At the exact center of those words, a slightly larger number "2" stood out, representing a Level Two Martial Artist.

Jiang Fan put away the badge and said, "Thank you, Martial Association President!"

The Martial Association President waved his hand.

"Don't mention it!"

"Young brother, are you free? Let's have a chat!"
