Promotion to Grade 1 Martial Warrior, Bonus! Second Update!

Inside, Chen Xia saw a punch force testing instrument, a running track, and a virtual room.

After Chen Xia entered, a staff member stood beside him and asked, "Chen Xia?"

"Mm!" He nodded.

"Twenty-eight years old..." The assessor, a man, frowned as he looked at Chen Xia's information on the document in his hand.

According to his resume, the other party graduated from university and was at Stage Four of Qi Condensation. Six years had passed since then, and the possibility of breaking through five stages to become a Martial Warrior in this period was very small.

It became more difficult the further one progressed. Many talented individuals were already at Stage Eight of Ningyuan upon graduation. With some financial support from their families, they would have long since advanced to Martial Warrior.

Graduating with only Stage Four of Ningyuan clearly indicated no family support; he had to rely entirely on himself. Based on logic and reality, it was almost impossible for Chen Xia to become a Martial Warrior.

It seemed he was just here to join the fun like others... I'm really speechless.

The free test, held once every two years, attracted many oddballs.

But this kind of solid assessment data wouldn't lie. It was impossible to sneak through; he had seen plenty of such people.

Hmm?... Seeing the workplace on his resume, he was actually from the Patrol Inspection Office. The staff member's expression softened slightly, and he immediately became polite, pointing to the punch force tester beside him and smiling, "Three punches. If each punch equals or exceeds 1000kg, you pass the assessment. Don't rush; take your time and give it your best shot."

"Okay!"

Chen Xia nodded. He had come for the test, so it wouldn't be difficult for him.

He stood firm, stared at the punching target, took a deep breath, and then quickly threw a right punch.

Three punches landed.

Bang bang bang!

His movements were fluid, his fist technique swift, like phantom hammers striking the target.

"1042kg!" "1044kg!" "1056kg!"

As the sounds faded, three data points remained. Since it was a testing sheet, it had space for five data entries. Chen Xia's three scores were clearly visible on the list.

Seeing that the data met the standard, Chen Xia withdrew his fist, not surprised. But he was also excited internally. He had passed one stage; with two more, he could become a Martial Warrior.

Don't be fooled by his apparent ease; in reality, many people struggled desperately to reach this data.

This was an honor.

The honor of a Martial Warrior, and a turning point in life.

Chen Xia had done his homework before coming, knowing the content of the Martial Warrior assessment.

Becoming a Martial Warrior typically required three assessment stages: punch force, speed, and agility. Punch force was 1000kg, speed was 25 meters per second, and agility was passing a test in the virtual room.

Martial Warriors also had physical indicators like vitality, Qi and Blood Value, and bone density, but the assessment was strictly based on strength; other factors were not important.

Strictly speaking, Chen Xia had exceeded the standard in the first stage, with dozens of kilograms of extra force.

During this period, Chen Xia had taken medication and practiced the Seven Injuries Fist, which led to rapid improvement.

If the Seven Injuries Fist was mastered, theoretically, his performance would be even better, and his lethality would nearly double.

"..." Seeing Chen Xia's data, the staff member's expression changed slightly, a flicker of surprise in his eyes.

He had seen many people fall just short of the data, getting stuck for years and showing great reluctance. Logically, someone with Chen Xia's resume and results shouldn't perform like this. Was it a case of accumulated effort finally paying off? Moreover, his data had exceeded the standard. This result had long surpassed the Martial Warrior assessment data; he was truly a bit late.

"Congratulations, you've passed the first stage!" the staff member said with a smile, then picked up a pen and marked a ✓ on the list. Simultaneously, he uploaded the recorded assessment content to the Martial Warrior Alliance's internal network.

"Next is the speed assessment!"

The staff member pointed to the running track not far away and even personally led Chen Xia to the track, explaining some of the assessment rules.

After Chen Xia confirmed he understood, he began the test.

He did some simple warm-ups in place and then started his run-up. The next second...

Whoosh! Chen Xia shot forward like an arrow released from a bow. His legs exploded with power, like a leopard in the jungle spotting prey, and he instantly darted forward.

Soon, the 100-meter track test was over.

His speed was 25.5 meters per second!

This data was related to a person's strength; the faster the speed, the stronger the individual.

Chen Xia was not lacking in this aspect either, slightly exceeding the standard for a Grade 1 Martial Warrior.

Finally, it was the agility test. For this stage, the staff member led Chen Xia into the virtual room. Once Chen Xia was ready, the staff member behind him closed the door and pressed a button on the wall.

Instantly, a virtual 4D light beam spread throughout the virtual room. The hundred-square-meter floor and surrounding walls transformed into high-definition screens, reflecting dense beams of light, forming a holographic projection of incoming arrows.

Arrows flew from a distance at intervals of two seconds, gradually increasing in speed, while Chen Xia moved nimbly, dodging them.

According to the test standard, one could be hit by a maximum of three arrows within one minute; otherwise, the assessment would be failed.

Chen Xia was fully focused, dodging the arrows flying from all directions. He lasted for one minute, with only one arrow slightly brushing the edge of his clothes because Chen Xia was not fully accustomed to the scene. All others were perfectly dodged.

When time was up, an electronic voice announcing "Pass" sounded in his ear.

When Chen Xia turned around, the staff member behind him was very surprised.

Generally speaking, for the agility test, those Grade 1 Martial Warriors would barely pass after three tries. Chen Xia passed on the first try, and he was barely hit by any arrows mid-way, which was very rare.

"Mr. Chen, congratulations! From now on, you are a Grade 1 Martial Warrior!"

"I will upload your data shortly and issue your Martial Warrior certificate and badge! Also, according to the rules of the Martial Warrior Alliance, there is a Martial Dao Diligence Bonus of fifty thousand Yuan for passing the assessment to become a Grade 1 Martial Warrior! It will be given to you as well."

"Thank you very much," Chen Xia said with a smile.

The staff member smiled, "Not at all, this is my job. Mr. Chen, please follow me!"

Next, Chen Xia followed the staff member to handle some paperwork, but it didn't take much time. Now, the entire assessment process was recorded, making it efficient and impossible to cheat.

With integrated services, the staff member quickly handled everything.

However, when the staff member came to find Chen Xia, who was sitting in the hall, a middle-aged man was with him.

The middle-aged man took out a red Martial Warrior certificate and said, "Mr. Chen, this is your Grade 1 Martial Warrior certificate and Martial Warrior medal. Please accept them. Also, the bonus should have arrived in your account."

"From now on, Mr. Chen is a member of the Martial Warrior Alliance. Becoming a Grade 1 Martial Warrior is a great occasion. Congratulations, congratulations! By the way, this is my business card! My name is Shen Lu, and I am the review supervisor of the Examination Department. If you want to join a Mercenary Group, take on a part-time job, or go on alliance missions in the future, you can contact me anytime. I know many people in mercenary groups and can introduce you. Also, if you need any materials, our Martial Warrior Alliance also provides them, and we will give you the most favorable prices."

Chen Xia took the Martial Warrior certificate. It was a paper-based red certificate. When opened, it had the Federation's National Emblem pattern, the Martial Dao Alliance seal, and his name and photo.

At the same time, he received constant messages on his phone and electronic watch.

Besides the fifty thousand yuan transferred by the Martial Warrior Alliance, there were official congratulatory messages for his promotion to Grade 1 Martial Warrior, and a lot of other information.

The badge in his hand was made of copper, round, with a combined image of the flags of various countries, symbolizing the unity of the Federation. The copper badge fit perfectly in his palm. On the surface of the National Emblem, a golden five-pointed star was engraved, with Chen Xia's name below it.

This was Chen Xia's Grade 1 Martial Warrior badge.
