Other students were not too surprised that Chen Mochuan had not yet finished the assessment, because a similar situation had already occurred in the last monthly examination.
At that time, the class teacher Han Zhen explained to everyone that this was because Chen Mochuan overwhelmingly defeated the standard assessors of the same level, resulting in Assessment System being unable to accurately assess its true strength, thus activating the expansion mode of "Cross-Rank Challenge", which requires continuous challenge to virtual opponents of higher levels, which naturally takes far longer than ordinary people.
It's just that this time, Chen Mochuan stayed in Virtual Pod obviously longer than the last monthly exam, which made some attentive students secretly guess what level of challenge he had reached this time.
Time passed by minute by second. Lin Hong, who was always paying attention to the status of Chen Mochuan Virtual Pod, couldn't help but lower his voice and said to Han Zhen beside him, "Old Han, it's been almost twenty minutes, why hasn't Mo Chuan come out yet?"
Han Zhen's eyes still stayed on Virtual Pod, and after thinking for a while, he analyzed. "Although he has only mastered Dark Force for three or four days, he is already quite methodical in using it. Coupled with his mastery of various techniques and his fighting talent... I am afraid he has already easily passed the Ninth Rank assessor level."
For most geniuses, the improvement of qi and blood is ahead of the cultivation of skills, but Chen Mochuan has the opposite - the speed of improvement of his skills is much higher than the average level of the current qi and blood level, which is the fundamental reason why he can surpass the level to fight against the enemy.
Regarding this point, both Han Zhen and Lin Hong are very clear.
"You mean... he is fighting against the Tenth Rank examiner?" Lin Hong heard this and frowned slightly, "When I was sparring with him recently, I limited my strength to the level of Ninth Rank's high Martial Warrior, so that we can be evenly matched..."
"With the strength he has shown so far, there will definitely be no problem in defeating the Ninth Rank assessor, but it will not be easy to advance to another level after a quick victory, right?"
Having said this, Lin Hong paused, with a slightly suspicious look on his face. He turned his head and looked at Han Zhen: "Is it possible... that this kid was still hiding it when I was sparring with him before, and he didn't try his best?"
"Old Lin, please be patient. It's useless for us to guess here. No matter what Mo Chuan's situation is, the assessment should be over soon. We will know directly by looking at the results then."
As soon as Han Zhen finished speaking, a new result was displayed on the big screen inside Martial Arts Arena.
Everyone's attention was attracted.
Chen Mochuan[Basic Technique Realm:1000 points (Root-Solidifying Stance:500 points, Foundation Building Fist:500 points), Simulated Combat:966 points]
"Isn't his Blood-Qi Value just over eight? 966 points are not bad even among Tenth Rank Martial Warrior!"
"When First High School and Twin Stars have the same energy and blood strength, it is impossible to have a higher score than him! The gap between them should be very small now, right?"
"Thinking too much, those two have already started practicing Acupoint. During the mid-term exam, their scores exceeded one thousand, which is incomparable."
"Why can't we compare? If you give Chen Mochuan another month, the battle score will definitely exceed a thousand..."
"If anyone is well-informed, please quickly find out what the scores of First High School are today."
"I do have an old classmate named First High School, but now that I'm taking the exam, I won't let Personal Terminal out of my way..."
"Brother, everyone's results are out. The exam is over now, okay? You can ask quickly!"
For a time, there were voices of discussion, urging, and exclamation in Martial Arts Arena, making the scene quite chaotic.
In this bustle, Jiang Hao and Su Zhining seemed unusually quiet.
The two looked at each other and saw a hint of complicated emotions in each other's eyes - even though the results of Academic Subjects had not yet been announced, they understood that it was a foregone conclusion that Chen Mochuan's total score would surpass their own.
"To be completely surpassed by him so quickly?"
Jiang Hao sighed, a deep sense of frustration quietly spreading.
Over the past month or so, he has already felt great pressure from Chen Mochuan's incredible speed of progress.
He knew that with the other person's talent and hard work, it would be a matter of time before he surpassed him, but he didn't expect that this moment would come so quickly and completely.
However, after just a moment's absence, an unyielding Flame rekindled in his eyes.
If the leader's position is lost, then become the chaser!
Facing the sudden peak of Chen Mochuan, there is no other way but to invest more time, sweat more, and make full use of every resource to climb. Any slack will only be pulled further.
He was not satisfied with just being admitted to "Thirty-Six Elite Schools". The pressure brought by Chen Mochuan actually aroused his stronger fighting spirit.
He wants to use this to completely squeeze his own potential and launch an attack on "The Big Six" that once seemed out of reach!
On the other side, Su Zhining pursed her lips tightly, and the initial frustration disappeared the moment she saw the change in Jiang Hao's eyes.
She has been competing with Jiang Hao for so long, how can she be willing to be surpassed by both of them at the same time?
The competitive spirit that was deeply rooted in my bones was completely ignited.
"Jiang Hao can get back on his feet, why can't I?" She secretly clenched her fists, her eyes becoming sharp and firm again.
The strong rise of Chen Mochuan is also the most powerful catalyst for her.
Not far away, Han Zhen, who has been quietly paying attention to the changes in the expressions of Jiang Hao and Su Zhining since Chen Mochuan's score was refreshed, couldn't help but have an imperceptible smile of relief on his face.
It seemed that he did not need any additional guidance for these two proud top students.
Being able to learn from setbacks and transform pressure into the strongest driving force is a growth that is far more valuable and solid than a teacher's preaching.
At this time, the virtual warehouse door opened, and Chen Mochuan walked out of it.
He ignored the eyes of others on him and just walked back to his seat in silence, carefully reviewing the difficult battle just now in his mind.
At that time, he had just played against the examiner Tenth Rank, and he discovered that not only was the opponent Dark Force skillful in his skills, but his strength in his movements was also profound, far surpassing that of the previous examiner Ninth Rank.
This is clearly a sign that the five foundations of the Martial Warrior stage Acupoint have been condensed and the body has been fully strengthened.
It was obviously unwise to fight head-on. Chen Mochuan quickly changed his strategy. Relying on Thunder-Striding Step's flexibility and his solid foundation, he instead focused on roaming and fighting, trying to find the opponent's flaws with richer actual combat experience and changes in moves.
At first, this tactic did achieve some results. He was able to use his agility and anticipation to deflect the opponent's heavy blows and wait for opportunities to counterattack.
However, as time passed, Chen Mochuan noticed something was wrong.
Not only did the opponent's offensive not weaken due to the prolonged battle, but it became more dense and coherent, and its breath was terrifyingly long.
On the other hand, although his physical strength and endurance are much higher than those of the same level Martial Warrior, under such high-intensity and high-precision confrontation, the consumption of energy, blood and spirit is extremely severe.
He immediately understood the key: this examiner was definitely not at the Tenth Rank level, but was standing at the pinnacle of the Martial Warrior stage. He had already reached the threshold of breaking through the Essence Gate limit of the human body. The prototype of endless circulation of energy and blood in the body had already appeared, and he had an absolute advantage in protracted warfare.
Under this ebb and flow, his condition began to decline irreversibly. Even if he used "Tiger Roaring", he could not regain much of the situation.
Finally, after struggling for more than ten minutes, the opponent seized an opportunity and struck a punch with a penetrating Dark Force, breaking through his defense and directly hitting the vital point. The battle ended.
"Actually, it's not that there is no chance of fighting..." Chen Mochuan thought silently, "If I master Mountain-Collapsing Fist's ultimate move "Piercing Stone", explode with all my strength in the early stage of the confrontation, and disrupt his rhythm with thunderous momentum, I might have a chance of victory."
"Tiger Fiend Fist is only one step away from Perfection... By then, my understanding of boxing principles will surely be further improved. Maybe it won't be long before I can completely master "Piercing Stone"!"
