Before long, Chen Jian and Xiao Yang returned to Clearwind Residential Community.
He printed out the contract and handed it to Xiao Yang.
"The benefits in the contract will only be issued after you pass the Martial Artist Combat Assessment."
"Take this time to think carefully about what you want to buy."
"Also, if you want to buy a weapon, tell me then. I'll help you get it."
"Your first technique purchase comes with a half-price discount, but weapons and equipment don't get that kind of deal."
As he spoke, Chen Jian patted Xiao Yang on the shoulder.
"Come on. We stopped halfway through training this morning."
"Let's head back now. I want to see how capable you are in actual combat."
Xiao Yang did not hesitate and agreed at once.
The two soon returned to the underground training room in Xiao Yang's villa.
Without wasting any time, they began fighting.
"A spear wielder does need to keep his distance from his opponent, but your opponent isn't stupid."
"You also need to learn how to deal with someone once they get close."
"Monsters and humans may fight differently, but the essence is the same."
"Some monsters move on all fours, and their weak point may be their abdomen. Sometimes, you need to learn to adapt."
"Don't make your spear techniques so rigid. Learn to use them flexibly according to the situation!"
Chen Jian gave Xiao Yang pointers as they fought.
Throughout the process, Xiao Yang gradually improved as well.
He also began adapting to real combat.
After all, before transmigrating, he had not possessed the slightest experience in martial arts.
Thus, although he had the original owner's memories, his spear techniques were still somewhat stiff in practice.
Time soon passed, and before they knew it, evening had arrived.
Chen Jian and Xiao Yang stopped their sparring.
"Alright, take the next two days to digest what you've learned."
"I keep feeling that your actual combat ability has gotten worse. You weren't like this before."
"Most likely, your strength rose too quickly, so you haven't fully adapted to it yet."
"Practice more over the next few days."
"I'll come see you again in a few days."
Hearing this, Xiao Yang nodded.
"Alright, Uncle Chen. Thank you for your guidance."
He knew Chen Jian was telling the truth.
That was why he had spent this entire time practicing his spear techniques.
After all, he did not need to focus too much on increasing his strength. He only needed to eat more rice.
Before long, Chen Jian said his farewells and left.
After Chen Jian departed, Xiao Yang ate a grain of rice and continued practicing his spear techniques.
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was August 1.
Over the past twenty-odd days, Chen Jian had occasionally come to Xiao Yang's home to spar with him.
With Chen Jian as a sparring partner, Xiao Yang improved at an astonishing rate.
After all, he still had the original owner's memories.
His performance in actual combat had improved greatly by now.
During this period, Xiao Yang checked the items in the daily shop every day.
During that time, Xiao Yang only bought one item.
Level-1 Watermelon seeds.
Level-1 Watermelon could not only restore stamina, but also had healing effects.
Of course, it mainly treated external wounds.
Xiao Yang had tested it. If he cut a small gash on his hand with a knife, eating a slice of watermelon would heal it.
He discovered that after purchasing and planting the Level-1 Watermelon seeds, the shop added an option to purchase Level-1 Watermelon seeds.
In other words, he no longer needed to buy them from the daily shop.
Unfortunately, this was the only seed he had managed to buy during this period.
Other items had appeared in the daily shop as well.
However, the Enlightenment Tea Leaves Xiao Yang had been hoping for never appeared.
During this period, Level-2 rice had appeared once.
According to its description, Level-2 rice could increase the Genetic Origin Energy of Planetary Level powerhouses.
However, Xiao Yang did not buy it.
That kind of ability was not particularly rare.
He still wanted to save money to buy the Enlightenment Tea Leaves.
The main reason was that he was still a long way from reaching the Planetary Level.
As for the other items, none of them particularly interested Xiao Yang.
Moreover, most of the items in the daily shop were repeated.
The things that appeared most often were the watermelons and rice he already possessed.
When Xiao Yang arrived at the Ultimate Club, more than thirty Quasi-Martial Warriors were already waiting there.
When Chen Jian saw Xiao Yang, he walked over.
"With your current strength, dealing with the monsters in the Combat Assessment will be effortless."
"But you still need to be careful."
"If you accidentally get surrounded by a large number of monsters, you could still be injured."
There was a trace of emotion on Chen Jian's face.
Although he said that, he did not think Xiao Yang would be injured during the Martial Artist Combat Assessment.
After spending these past days with him, Chen Jian had come to understand just how terrifying Xiao Yang's current strength was.
7,500 kilograms of force!
That could already be considered Warlord Level strength!
One had to know that the threshold for a Junior Warlord was only 8,000 kilograms of force!
If Chen Jian did not use his secret technique, even he would have some difficulty defeating Xiao Yang now.
That was why he had complete confidence in Xiao Yang.
In his eyes, Xiao Yang would definitely become a God of War in the future!
He might even reach a level beyond a God of War!
"Alright, Uncle Chen. I understand."
Xiao Yang nodded and replied seriously.
Soon afterward, he and the other Quasi-Martial Warriors went to the train station and took a train to a military camp outside Central Plains Base City.
The military camp was equipped with numerous heavy weapons and defensive facilities.
Xiao Yang saw monsters outside staring at the camp, not daring to approach. They only dared to let out occasional roars.
That afternoon.
Xiao Yang and the more than one thousand Quasi-Martial Warriors stood in an open plaza.
Ahead of the plaza stood several higher-ups from the Central Plains Base City Military District, the Thunder Dojo, and the Ultimate Martial Arts Hall.
Among them was Liu Mingxian. Xiao Yang had even taken the initiative to greet him at noon.
After all, this was his angel investor.
Although Xiao Yang found it somewhat regrettable that his angel investor was not Zhuge Tao,
Liu Mingxian was still quite good.
He was also very kind toward Xiao Yang.
"Next, Quasi-Martial Warriors whose names are called, come forward to receive your combat uniforms and weapons!"
"Jiang Bei!"
"He Sheng!"
"Wang Yanbing!"
The ten officers on the stage called out the names of the Quasi-Martial Warriors one after another.
Those whose names were called stepped forward to receive their equipment.
Soon, Xiao Yang's name was called as well.
He quickly stepped forward and received his equipment.
His equipment included a combat uniform, combat boots, a Type-1 Armybreaker Spear, a communications wristband, a small knife, and a small arm shield.
Seeing Xiao Yang's youthful face, the officer's expression flashed with surprise.
"These are your things. Check them."
After confirming that there were no problems, Xiao Yang took the equipment and left the stage.
As time passed, Xiao Yang soon saw Low-Level Beast Soldiers being sent into Monster Town one after another.
At six-thirty, Xiao Yang and the other Quasi-Martial Warriors swiftly flooded into Monster Town.
The Martial Artist Combat Assessment had begun!
