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 listed in the contract will only be issued after you pass the Martial Artist Combat Assessment."

"You can take this time to think carefully about what you want to buy."

"Also, if you want to buy a weapon, tell me when the time comes. I'll help you get it."

"Your first purchase of a cultivation technique 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.

"Let's go. We stopped halfway through this morning's training."

"Now that we're back, let me see how good you are in actual combat."

Xiao Yang did not hesitate and agreed immediately.

The two soon returned to the underground training room in Xiao Yang's villa.

Without wasting any time, they began fighting.

"It's true that you need to keep your distance from your opponent when using a spear, but your opponent isn't an idiot."

"You also need to learn how to deal with them when they close in."

"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 guidance as they fought.

Throughout the process, Xiao Yang gradually improved.

He also began to slowly adapt to real combat.

After all, before he transmigrated, 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 when he used them.

Time soon passed, and before they knew it, night had fallen.

Chen Jian and Xiao Yang stopped their sparring.

"All right, digest what you've learned on your own over the next couple of days."

"I keep feeling like your actual combat ability has gotten worse. You weren't like this before."

"Most likely, your strength increased too quickly, and you haven't fully adapted yet."

"Practice more over the next few days."

"I'll come see you again in a few days."

Xiao Yang nodded upon hearing this.

"Okay, Uncle Chen. Thank you for your guidance."

He knew Chen Jian was speaking the truth.

So during this time, he had been constantly practicing his spear techniques.

After all, he did not need to focus too much on increasing his strength. He only needed to eat a little more rice.

Before long, Chen Jian took his leave.

After Chen Jian left, Xiao Yang ate a grain of rice and continued practicing his spear techniques.

Time quickly passed, and in the blink of an eye, it was August 1st.

Over the past twenty-odd days, Chen Jian had occasionally come over to spar with Xiao Yang.

With Chen Jian serving as a sparring partner, Xiao Yang improved at an extremely fast pace.

After all, he still had the original owner's memories.

His performance in actual combat had improved greatly as well.

During this time, Xiao Yang checked the daily items every day.

During this period, Xiao Yang bought only 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 injuries.

Xiao Yang had tested it. He cut a small wound into his hand with a knife, and eating one slice of watermelon healed it.

He discovered that after buying and planting the Level-1 Watermelon seeds, the shop added Level-1 Watermelon seeds as a purchasable option.

In other words, he no longer needed to buy them from the daily items.

Unfortunately, this was the only seed he managed to buy during this period.

Other items had appeared in the daily selection as well.

But the Enlightenment Tea Leaves Xiao Yang had been looking forward to never showed up.

During this period, Level-2 Rice had appeared.

According to its description, Level-2 Rice could increase the Genetic Origin Energy of Planetary Level experts.

However, Xiao Yang had not bought it.

That kind of ability was not rare.

He still wanted to save money for 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, Xiao Yang was not particularly tempted by any of them.

Moreover, most of the daily items were often duplicates.

The most common ones were the Watermelon 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 a walk in the park."

"But you still need to be careful."

"If you accidentally get surrounded by a large number of monsters, you could still be injured."

Chen Jian's face carried a trace of emotion at that moment.

Though he said that, he did not believe Xiao Yang would be injured during the Martial Artist Combat Assessment.

Over the past few days, 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 merely 8,000 kilograms of force!

If Chen Jian did not use a secret technique, it would now be somewhat difficult for him to defeat Xiao Yang.

So he had great confidence in Xiao Yang.

In his view, Xiao Yang would definitely become a God of War in the future!

He might even reach a level beyond the God of War!

"Okay, Uncle Chen, I understand."

Xiao Yang nodded and answered seriously.

Soon, he headed to the train station with the other Quasi-Martial Warriors and took a train to a military camp outside Central Plains Base City.

The camp possessed large numbers of heavy weapons and defensive installations.

Xiao Yang saw some monsters outside staring at the camp. They did not dare approach it at all and only occasionally let out a few roars.

That afternoon.

Xiao Yang and more than a thousand other Quasi-Martial Warriors stood in an open square.

In front of the square stood some higher-ups from the Central Plains Base City Military District, Thunder Dojo, and 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 Zhuge Tao was not his angel investor.

Liu Mingxian was not bad either.

He had also been very kind to Xiao Yang.

"Quasi-Martial Warriors whose names are called, step forward to collect your combat uniforms and weapons!"

"Jiang Bei!"

"He Sheng!"

"Wang Yanbing!"

Ten military officers on the stage called out the names of the Quasi-Martial Warriors one by one.

Those whose names were called stepped forward to collect their equipment.

Before long, Xiao Yang's name was called as well.

He quickly stepped forward and collected his equipment.

His equipment included a combat uniform, combat boots, a Series-1 Armybreaker Spear, a communications wristband, a small knife, and a small arm shield.

Seeing Xiao Yang's youthful face, the military officer showed a trace of surprise.

"These are your things. Check them."

After confirming that there were no issues, Xiao Yang took his equipment and stepped down.

Time passed, and 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 poured into Monster Town.

The Martial Artist Combat Assessment had begun!
