Probationary Assessment (Please Bookmark and Follow!)

"Something went wrong. That kid came out of the Investigation Division."

"They let out so much blood. Would those Mad Dogs really loosen their grip?"

"Someone stepped in to pull him out."

"Who?"

A name appeared on the screen.

Silence hung for about thirty seconds.

"A genius with no background—why would she suddenly interfere?"

"Not sure."

"We have to stay alert. Find out what she wants."

"What about that kid?"

"He can't escape the palm of my hand."

As the conversation ended.

The encrypted information suddenly turned into a string of garbled characters.

Then.

It was completely deleted.

The Security Bureau was a disciplined force.

Most of the written assessment covered matters related to that.

A small portion involved legal provisions, Security Bureau regulations, and responses to crime scenes.

The difficulty was not high.

As long as one spent time memorizing, passing the written test was not difficult.

The real obstacle to becoming a full employee was the martial assessment.

First.

Life Development Power had to exceed ten.

That alone eliminated 99.99 percent of temporary employees.

The remaining 0.01 percent was the sole senior employee in Taiyu City's Security Bureau who had previously become permanent.

After receiving his written test results.

The system had already arranged Qin Annian's martial assessment venue and examiner.

"Senior Peace Officer, Sun Yingyuan."

"Life Development Power: 23."

Hmm?

Qin Annian immediately frowned.

He sent Ju Zi a question.

"Isn't the examiner's Life Development Power too high?"

It was not that Qin Annian was showing weakness.

With the consciousness of a Fist Technique Grandmaster, defeating Sun Yingyuan if he went all out should not have been a problem.

But the issue was.

If he could avoid going all out, it was best to avoid such a situation.

Unless.

He could kill the enemy outright.

Obviously.

He could not attack without reason and kill the examiner of his martial assessment.

Ju Zi gave her reply.

[According to regulations.]

[Martial assessment examiners are randomly selected from Peace Officers who have free time and Life Development Power below 25.]

[Candidates may choose one of two assessment topics.]

[One: Fight the examiner. The Central Brain will evaluate the candidate's performance.]

[Two: Imitate a technique demonstrated by the examiner. The Central Brain will evaluate the candidate's performance.]

The assessment content could be called quite fair.

Those confident in their combat strength could choose the first option.

Those who believed their comprehension was superior and their future promising could choose the second.

Qin Annian also silently breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time.

He had already arrived at the assessment venue arranged by Ju Zi.

Inside the training grounds.

A middle-aged man wearing a Peace Officer's uniform, with an additional crossed blade-and-sword insignia on his epaulets, looked toward Qin Annian.

"You should have read the assessment details."

"Which one are you choosing?"

Sun Yingyuan was expressionless, his voice somewhat hoarse.

He had arrived at the assessment venue more than ten minutes before Qin Annian.

Qin Annian stepped onto the training ground, lowered his hands, and prepared himself.

"Examiner Sun."

"I choose the second."

For some reason.

Qin Annian seemed to see a trace of regret in Sun Yingyuan's eyes.

Before he could inspect it closely.

Sun Yingyuan's gaze turned sharp.

"In this world."

"Many people think they're geniuses!"

Boom!

An invisible aura.

Suddenly erupted from his body!

Using his left foot as support, Sun Yingyuan raised his right leg like a guillotine blade.

His exertion technique was exceptionally refined; though standing on one foot, he seemed rooted to the ground.

The muscles in his right leg tightened, giving off a razor-sharp feeling!

Thud!

"Leg Technique: Mountain-Splitting Axe!"

Whoosh!

The surging airflow resembled a blade's edge as it descended toward Qin Annian.

Then dispersed half a meter in front of him.

"A test of leg techniques?"

After confirming that he had memorized every detail of Sun Yingyuan's kick.

Qin Annian withdrew his gaze and lowered his eyes.

Concealing the thoughtful look deep within them.

Logically speaking.

Word of his reputation as a boxing genius should already have spread.

And according to what he knew about the previous senior employee who had become permanent.

The martial assessment would bend the rules as much as possible.

Because.

Both the Federal Government and the Security Bureau needed such a figurehead for publicity.

To create an atmosphere where advancement paths were laid out in plain sight and ordinary people had opportunities too.

"Did you see it clearly?"

"Genius Qin?"

Sun Yingyuan's behavior and attitude resembled those of an impartial examiner who disapproved of what Qin Annian had done that morning.

"Do you want me to demonstrate it a second time?"

Qin Annian's gaze fell upon the Status Panel.

[Leg Technique: Mountain-Splitting Axe · Number of contributors (1/1). Place order?]

"Yes."

After silently answering in his heart.

In an instant.

A memory surfaced in his mind.

Taiyu City.

Universe Tower, top floor.

As Taiyu City's strongest combatant, the City Guardian.

Xiao Cheng abruptly opened his eyes.

Despite having Life Development Power above one thousand, he now looked somewhat frightened.

He looked around.

"Senior?"

The cultivation room was deathly quiet.

Xiao Cheng's expression shifted repeatedly before he finally took a deep breath.

"Since Senior wishes to test me."

"Then!"

He focused completely and adjusted himself to his most perfect state.

Rumble!

His blood accelerated through his veins, actually producing the sound of crashing waves!

He shot into the air.

A terrifying aura burst from his entire body.

Streams of light gathered and curled around his legs.

"The combat technique I am most proud of."

"Is this leg technique I have cultivated for a hundred years!"

"Thunder Cry!"

Boom! Crack!

As Xiao Cheng brought down his kick.

Purple lightning exploded in the void!

Lightning serpents leaped, ionizing the air and filling it with the smell of ozone.

Huff!

Huff!

Huff!

After landing.

Xiao Cheng panted heavily, his chest rapidly rising and falling.

Waves of white mist emerged from his body.

"Senior."

"Are you satisfied?"

However.

What left him at a loss was that the indistinct consciousness quietly vanished.

As if what had just happened had been nothing but an illusion.

"Huff!"

"Which senior could it have been?"

"To have such."

"A playful nature?"

Unable to figure it out.

Xiao Cheng could only give up helplessly.

"You saw it clearly?"

Sun Yingyuan was somewhat astonished.

He narrowed his eyes and carefully examined Qin Annian again from head to toe.

"Are you sure?"

"You don't need a second demonstration?"

His arms were crossed over his chest, his expression shifting unpredictably.

"Mm."

After digesting the extra memories in his mind,

"Was this time a leg technique prodigy?"

"Continuously kicking for an entire year!"

Qin Annian could feel that his control over the muscles in his legs had become exceptionally proficient.

Recalling Sun Yingyuan's movements from earlier,

Qin Annian raised his leg.

Seeing this, Sun Yingyuan lifted his wrist and looked at his Personal Terminal.

"According to the rules,"

"you have half an hour to practice..."

Before he could finish speaking,

Qin Annian leaped into the air.

Whoosh!

The wind suddenly gathered.

Bursts of sharp energy gradually emerged as well.

"Mountain Breaker!"

Qin Annian gave a low shout.

His right leg turned into an axe, hacking fiercely downward in front of him!

Boom!

At this moment,

his edge was fully revealed.

Sun Yingyuan remained frozen in the posture of looking at his Personal Terminal.

As though he had been petrified.

"Beep!"

"Assessment passed."

However,

Ju Zi's voice quickly jolted Sun Yingyuan awake.

His pupils abruptly shrank to pinpoints!

"Impossible!"

Only that single thought echoed through Sun Yingyuan's mind!

He could no longer think of anything else!
