Today is July 1st, also the day of martial artist certification.
Chu Han drew 10 Body Tempering Pills, which he kept in his spatial storage.
"Martial artist certification starts at 8 o'clock. I must succeed today."
In 26 more days, it will be the Grand Martial Arts Examination.
Registration will stop half a month before the Grand Examination.
He only has 9 days to register.
After finishing breakfast and tidying up, he prepared to leave.
Before he left, Zhao Feiyu sent him a message, asking him to bring the Black Mane Lion cub as well.
Chu Han then put on a backpack and placed the cub inside.
If nothing unexpected happened, the transaction could be made today.
"Son, go for it!"
Amidst his parents' cheers, Chu Han left home.
When he arrived at the Martial Artist Association, even the plaza outside the association was packed with people, filled to the brim.
Most of the people here were Quasi-Martial Artists coming for their certification.
Chu Han squeezed into the crowd, looking for Zhao Feiyu's location.
"Brother Chu! Over here!"
Zhao Feiyu's shout came from not far away. Chu Han looked in the direction of the voice and saw Zhao Feiyu, dressed in a brand-new black martial arts uniform, waving at him.
Chu Han walked over to Zhao Feiyu's side, pointed to the backpack on his back, and asked in a low voice, "Where's the buyer? Aren't they with you?"
"Don't worry, they're here."
Zhao Feiyu smiled, "There are too many people right now. After the martial artist certification ends, we'll go make the transaction. The buyer is already waiting."
Chu Han nodded, "Yeah, there's no rush for this moment."
His gaze swept across the crowd and he noticed several long queues had already formed ahead.
Roughly estimating, the number of people participating in the martial artist certification was around a thousand.
In addition to the Quasi-Martial Artists coming for certification, there were also many people accompanying them or just watching the excitement in the Martial Artist Association plaza.
In short, the Martial Artist Association was exceptionally lively today.
Chu Han and Zhao Feiyu also joined the end of a queue.
Before the formal assessment, everyone would undergo a qualification evaluation to filter out those with insufficient strength.
The method for qualification evaluation was simple. Upon entering the Martial Artist Association's assessment hall, they would be detected by an instrument. Those deemed unqualified by the instrument would be turned away.
However, there were still ten minutes before they could officially enter the assessment hall.
The people queuing were all discussing the martial artist assessment.
"I heard that among the people here for certification this time, many have been Quasi-Martial Artists for years, stuck at the final step before breaking through. They're all hoping to get certified successfully this time."
"Yeah, and there are also some who failed the certification multiple times but are still unwilling to give up and are trying their luck again."
"However, the martial artist assessment is very strict. I think the qualification evaluation alone will eliminate twenty to thirty percent of the people."
Chu Han listened, and his gaze swept over the many assessors. Indeed, many martial artists fit the situation described by these people.
Some older assessors were over 40 years old and still hadn't given up on the chance to get certified.
For many people, becoming a martial artist was a lifelong dream. It meant stepping onto the formal threshold of the martial path, and their status and position would also rise.
So, even after failing multiple times, they would still try every way possible to attempt it.
"But the most talked-about point of this martial artist certification is these high school seniors participating in the assessment."
"Right, I heard that Jiang City High School has produced several geniuses with A-rank talent. They will definitely shine this time."
"I really envy these geniuses. They've reached the height we've strived for years to achieve right after graduation."
Speaking of the high school seniors being assessed, many people showed envious expressions.
Although the high school seniors had only awakened their talents not long ago, truly talented students had basically already crossed the threshold of becoming martial artists by this time and would seize this opportunity for certification.
Generally speaking, students who awakened B-rank talent or higher, as long as they had proper cultivation methods and sufficient resources, had a high chance of breaking through to the martial artist realm during this period.
As for those prodigies who awakened A-rank talent, they had almost certainly become martial artists by this time.
"There are quite a few high school students getting certified this time," Chu Han sighed.
The high school students were easy to recognize; most were full of youthful vigor and had proud expressions.
If you can't find the book by searching the title, you can try searching for the author. Perhaps the title has been changed!
After all, the Grand Martial Arts Examination was at the end of the month. Those who could get certified as martial artists at this time were geniuses who were confident of getting into prestigious schools, and they indeed deserved their pride.
Zhao Feiyu also said with a hint of arrogance, "Of course, but most of them are only 1st Rank martial artists. Those who can reach 2nd Rank can be counted on one hand. The two of us are definitely the strongest combination here."
Chu Han smiled slightly upon hearing this. It was indeed as Zhao Feiyu said; these students were relatively green.
The two were talking when a mocking voice suddenly came from behind them: "Yo, isn't this the genius of the Zhao family? I heard you awakened the powerful Mad Lion Bloodline?"
Chu Han and Zhao Feiyu turned their heads at the same time and saw several third-year students walking over.
The leader was tall and burly, with a buzz cut. A lightning bolt symbol was carved into the hair on the right side of his head, and he exuded a faint aura of lightning-element Origin Energy.
"Who is he? Is he a student from your school?" Chu Han asked.
Zhao Feiyu replied, "Yeah, his name is Lei Meng. He's a descendant of the Lei Family from the capital, the son of the president of the Jiang City branch of the Thunder Martial Arts School. Lei Meng, he and I have always been at odds."
"So it's him."
Chu Han remembered. The person who pursued the school beauty of their school with Zhao Feiyu back then was also called Lei Meng.
It really is a case of enemies meeting.
"Lei Meng, what right do you have to talk to me, you brute? It seems your injuries have healed."
Zhao Feiyu had previously clashed with Lei Meng and broken several of his ribs.
Bringing this up now, Lei Meng was instantly displeased.
"Hmph, my strength has reached the limit of a 1st Rank martial artist. You, the disgrace of your family, will never catch up to me."
As he spoke, Lei Meng moved aside, and from behind him walked out a beautiful woman with an explosive figure.
The beauty glanced at Zhao Feiyu, then walked to Lei Meng's side and naturally leaned against him.
"Liu Xi! Why are you with Lei Meng!"
Zhao Feiyu's composure faltered upon seeing this girl. This girl named Liu Xi was the school beauty he and Lei Meng had both pursued.
He hadn't expected Liu Xi to willingly throw herself into Lei Meng's arms now, which was a significant blow to Zhao Feiyu.
"Zhao Feiyu, Liu Xi is my girlfriend now. Don't bother her again, or don't blame me for being rude."
Lei Meng proudly squeezed Liu Xi's ample bosom and said provocatively to Zhao Feiyu.
Liu Xi, having been squeezed in front of everyone, blushed slightly but did not resist, tacitly accepting Lei Meng's actions.
Liu Xi had not agreed to either Zhao Feiyu or Lei Meng back then. It wasn't until her talent awakened that Lei Meng awakened a relatively stronger A-rank talent. Coupled with Lei Meng's identity, Liu Xi willingly became Lei Meng's girlfriend.
"Damn it, you're asking for death!"
Lei Meng's provocation instantly ignited Zhao Feiyu's temper.
He unleashed his full 2nd Rank strength, creating a small Origin Energy storm.
Bathed in purple Origin Energy, he unleashed a Mad Lion Fist towards Lei Meng.
Lei Meng's expression changed drastically. He hadn't expected Zhao Feiyu to be so strong, but he refused to back down and met the punch with his own: "Zhao Feiyu, don't think I'm afraid of you, watch my King Thunder Fist!"
Their fists collided instantly, and a massive Origin Energy explosion erupted, forcing the surrounding martial artists to retreat.
The next moment, Lei Meng was sent flying backward, crashing heavily onto the ground.
Although his strength was considerable, he had not yet broken through to 2nd Rank, only reaching the 1st Rank limit.
Facing Zhao Feiyu, who was already 2nd Rank, he was naturally defeated in an instant.
"Impossible! How did you break through to 2nd Rank?!"
Lei Meng roared in disbelief, clutching his chest.
"Don't compare yourself to me. Today, I must teach you another lesson so you know that Zhao Feiyu is not to be trifled with!"
As Zhao Feiyu spoke, he charged forward again, intending to teach Lei Meng a lesson.
Suddenly, a gust of wind swept over and collided with Zhao Feiyu.
In the next instant, Zhao Feiyu was forced back.
"Classmate, please don't hurt my friend!"
As a clear, cold voice rang out, the wind dispersed, and several other students appeared in front of Lei Meng.
The one who controlled the wind, the speaker, was also a 2nd Rank martial artist.
Chu Han felt an aura on him that was even stronger than Zhao Feiyu's. This person had at least been a 2nd Rank martial artist for some time.
His gaze continued to sweep over the others, and he saw an unexpected figure.
Li Mengran?
She actually appeared with this person who controlled the wind!
