In the screen.

A young man, dressed in a black, form-fitting combat suit, holding a greatsword in one hand, with a tall and straight posture, and sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, was shuttling at extreme speed through the city's ruins.

Because the young man was moving so fast, the accompanying drone could only fly at full power to keep up with his speed, causing the screen to shake slightly.

The young man was seen moving along the edge of the examination area, his figure like an afterimage, constantly heading towards the outer regions.

The young man encountered an ambush by several Level 1 Intermediate sinister beasts, Shadow Cats, known for their speed.

But the attacks from the Shadow Cats, famous for their speed, seemed pre-designed in front of the young man.

Without any visible movement from the young man's feet, he always managed to dodge the Shadow Cats' attacks one step ahead.

Those Shadow Cats couldn't even touch the corner of the young man's clothes.

Wang Jiannan stared blankly at the screen, at the young man's figure amidst the siege of sinister beasts, moving like a highly skilled dancer on a stage, his face filled with shock.

"Li Ziyu, what Battle Skill is he using? Could it be an Advanced Level 1 Movement Battle Skill?"

"No! A Level 1 Movement Battle Skill can't achieve this speed and evasion ability. I think Li Ziyu is using a Level 2 Movement Battle Skill!"

"Good kid, I didn't expect him to get his hands on a Level 2 Movement Battle Skill. Not only is his talent good, but his family must have a mine!"

The principal of the Third Middle School next to him widened his eyes, equally shocked.

Level 1 Battle Skills cost millions, and Level 2 ones start at five million, plus they are extremely difficult to cultivate.

He didn't expect Li Ziyu to not only have strong comprehension but also be so wealthy to obtain a Level 2 Battle Skill.

However, whether he was rich or not was irrelevant to him. Li Ziyu's strength only made him more excited!

"Uh... isn't Li Ziyu an orphan? I remember Li Ziyu still lives alone in the old city district."

"And I remember that Level 2 Movement Techniques have requirements for the user's Qi and Blood, right? Li Ziyu's Qi and Blood value of 0.8 shouldn't be enough to cultivate a Level 2 Battle Skill."

Liu Yanfang, who had followed them, looked confused.

She knew Li Ziyu's situation better than anyone and was certain he couldn't afford a Level 2 Movement Battle Skill.

Furthermore, Li Ziyu's Qi and Blood were insufficient to meet the conditions for cultivating a Level 2 Battle Skill.

However, the movement technique displayed by Li Ziyu was terrifyingly fast.

Besides a Level 2 Battle Skill, she couldn't think of any other explanation.

"It's not a Level 2 Movement Battle Skill..."

As they were discussing endlessly, Wang Jiannan's voice rang out.

Everyone immediately fell silent and looked towards Wang Jiannan.

Wang Jiannan was seen gazing intently at the scene on the live broadcast screen.

His face flickered with a complex mix of emotions – inexplicable, emotional, and envious – before he finally murmured:

"What Li Ziyu is using is a Peak Level Movement Technique..."

"His movement technique is also Peak Level..."

"Two Peak Level Basic Martial Skills, how did Li Ziyu achieve this? How old is he? Sixteen? Or seventeen!? To simultaneously cultivate both Blade Technique and Movement Technique to the Peak!!"

"What kind of heaven-defying comprehension is this?! What kind of heaven-defying Martial Path talent is this?"

Wang Jiannan's voice started calmly but became more excited as he spoke.

By the end, his face had turned red, his lips were trembling, and his fingers pointing at the screen were shaking.

"Such a heaven-defying Martial Path genius, yet his Qi and Blood test only showed 0.8!? Heaven envies talent! Heaven truly envies talent!!!!"

"Cough! Ptooey!"

Thump.

Overcome with excitement and heartache, Wang Jiannan felt his vision darken and he fainted with a thump.

As soon as Wang Jiannan spoke, the scene fell silent.

Li Ziyu mastered a Peak Level Movement Technique?!

At only seventeen years old, he mastered two Peak Level Basic Martial Skills?? How was this possible!?

Everyone was utterly shocked by Wang Jiannan's words, as if their heads had been hit by a heavy club, leaving them dazed.

It wasn't until the thump that everyone was jolted out of their shock.

Secretary Wang was startled.

"Mayor Wang! Mayor Wang! What's wrong!? Quickly! Medical! Medical! Come save him!"

"Hurry and get the adrenaline shot for Mayor Wang!"

The scene descended into chaos.

Fortunately, since everyone was confined to the monitoring room for these five days, medical staff had been stationed in advance to deal with emergencies.

After the medical personnel administered an adrenaline shot, Wang Jiannan slowly regained consciousness.

"Cough, my apologies everyone. I injured my heart during a previous battle with a sinister beast, causing you all to worry."

Everyone offered their concern and congratulations.

Wang Jiannan nodded, his expression returning to its usual calm and collected demeanor, unruffled as if Mount Tai were collapsing before him.

He sat back in his chair and resumed watching the Martial Arts Examination broadcast.

However, the principals, who were skilled at reading people, could still see intense regret in Wang Jiannan's eyes.

"Alas, it's a shame about Li Ziyu. His innate Qi and Blood test was only 0.8. Even with two Peak Level Basic Martial Skills, his achievements will be limited."

"Who can disagree? If Li Ziyu had a Qi and Blood of 1.5, with those two Peak Level Basic Martial Skills, entering the top ten of Su Province would almost be a certainty. Mayor Wang would definitely get a promotion with such an achievement."

"Damn! Stop talking about it, it hurts my heart too!"

The principal of Third Middle School also lamented tearfully upon hearing this.

Wang Jiannan glanced at the two, and they wisely fell silent.

Wang Jiannan, with a blank expression, turned back to continue watching the Martial Arts Examination broadcast.

He had come to terms with it now. After this stimulation, he felt his inner self had become much more peaceful.

Even greater stimulation wouldn't affect him anymore.

However, just then, Secretary Wang, who had left earlier, came rushing back in, hurried to Wang Jiannan's side, and said excitedly:

"Mayor! Good news! Good news!"

"I just received news from a friend at the Martial Arts Association. Li Ziyu, he's a Level 1 Intermediate Martial Artist!"

"He went to our Xujiang City Martial Arts Association two days ago to get his Martial Artist Certification!"

"The test results: Qi and Blood 5.99, Combat Power 999!"

Thump!

"Holy crap! Medical! Medical! Bring another injection quickly!"

If you find this book good, remember to add it to your bookshelf so you don't lose it next time.
