Yang Ziqing and Lu Li could scarcely believe the figure Wang Xiao had just personally tested from the blood sample.
[594 calories]
The glaring number was displayed right there on the tester's screen.
That morning, they had seen Lin Mo's confidential file, which showed his Blood Qi Value at 229.28 calories.
They had also learned through the Martial Artist Hall's purchase system that Lin Mo had later bought a premium Vitality Potion.
At most, that thing could only add 0.1 calories of blood qi.
In other words, under normal circumstances, Lin Mo's blood qi should have been 229.38 calories by now.
But now, barely more than half a day had passed, and they were being told Lin Mo's blood qi had already reached 594 calories?
He had directly advanced to the third grade?
Wasn't that utterly absurd?
"An Awakened?"
Suddenly, Lu Li and Yang Ziqing met each other's eyes through the screen and cried out at the same time.
Among Martial Artists, there was only one circumstance in which blood qi and combat power could suddenly skyrocket—becoming an Awakened.
Such people were one in ten thousand.
In an instant, the two were overjoyed.
They had never imagined that Lin Mo was actually an Awakened.
Upon hearing their exclamations, Wang Xiao was equally stunned.
Just what kind of monster had he discovered?
"No wonder!"
Yang Ziqing felt this more keenly than anyone.
Throughout all three years of high school, he had not even known who Lin Mo was.
Then, with the college entrance exams drawing near, such a monstrous genius had suddenly emerged.
If Lin Mo was an Awakened, then it was no longer strange.
"Hahaha, I never thought our Southern Province would produce an Awakened."
On the other side, Lu Li laughed heartily, immensely delighted.
As long as an Awakened did not die young, they could break through to at least seventh-grade. They even had an extremely high chance of surpassing the ninth grade and becoming a Grandmaster.
A Grandmaster—those were overwhelmingly powerful existences who stood above countless millions.
"Lin Mo, hurry and tell us. What ability did you awaken?"
Thinking of this, Lu Li could not help asking eagerly.
"Uh?"
Lin Mo fell silent.
He had not expected that he would need to undergo another test before heading to the Martial Alliance Training Camp.
But now that he was here, there was no way around it. He could only take the test.
He had been wondering what excuse he could use to explain it.
Now, though, they had filled in the blanks themselves.
Speaking of Awakened, it really was quite a coincidence.
He had swallowed the Thunder Bead and obtained a Lightning Ability, which happened to be enough to cover up this lie.
"I... awakened a Lightning Ability."
After pausing for two seconds, Lin Mo spoke slowly.
"What! Lightning? My heavens! Quick, show me. Let me see it."
Upon hearing it was lightning, Lu Li became even less composed.
Among elemental abilities, it was the undisputed number one in offensive power.
Across all of Huaxia, there were fewer than five Martial Artists who had awakened the lightning element, showing just how rare it was.
On the other side of the screen, Yang Ziqing was so excited that he did not even know what to say.
His ancestral graves were practically billowing with green smoke. He had thought producing a genius was already cause for immense joy.
Yet this genius was actually an Awakened.
And he had awakened the extraordinarily rare lightning element. This was heaven-defying.
Once Lin Mo reached the ranks of the peak Martial Artist powerhouses in the future, what if he was asked during an interview which alma mater he had come from?
Then Jiangcheng No. 2 High School would find it difficult not to become famous.
With a freak like Lin Mo in this year's class, No. 1 High School could only follow behind their No. 2 High School and eat dust.
Just thinking about it felt incredible!
Yang Ziqing was trembling all over with excitement.
Lin Mo, however, nodded and walked toward the Combat Power Tester.
He gathered his qi and sank into his stance.
Silver and violet currents appeared out of thin air, entwining around his body.
"It really is lightning! Wonderful!"
Before he even threw a punch, Lu Li and Yang Ziqing were already shouting joyfully in front of the screen.
"Boom!"
With one punch, the numbers on the Combat Power Tester began shooting upward at high speed.
This time, it directly leaped past 1,000 points from the start and continued climbing.
1,100... 1,200... 2,000... 3,000... 3,300!
In the end, his Combat Power Points stopped at 3,300.
Lin Mo secretly wiped his forehead. He had only achieved this score by making a deliberate effort to hold back.
If he went all out—
Military Boxing alone, combined with the lightning enhancement, could directly raise his combat power to 4,455 points.
If he used the Mystery Grade Hegemon Fist, his combat power would immediately break through 11,000 points.
But that would truly leave them dumbstruck beyond belief.
For all he knew, they might drag him off to be dissected.
3,300 was just right.
Starting from the fourth grade, combat power generally increased to three times one's Blood Qi Value.
And the blood qi requirement for a Fourth-grade Martial Artist was 1,000.
Now that he had scored 3,300 points, it was still a little monstrous.
But with the halo of being an Awakened and a lightning-element Martial Artist added on top, it became far easier for people to accept.
Sure enough, in the next second, Lu Li, Yang Ziqing, and Wang Xiao all cried out.
"Damn, 3,300 points?" Wang Xiao exclaimed first.
"3,300 points! Wonderful!" Lu Li laughed as well.
"Hahaha, Lin Mo, well done! As expected of the genius of our Jiangcheng No. 2 High School! Hahahaha!"
Yang Ziqing was so happy that he danced with joy, completely disregarding his image.
Only Lu Li and Wang Xiao rolled their eyes at Yang Ziqing at the same time.
He was an Awakened. Frankly speaking, his development had not a damn thing to do with Jiangcheng No. 2 High School.
At most, this old fellow had stumbled upon a bargain.
Looking at his principal's old face, smiling so hard that its wrinkles had bunched into a chrysanthemum, Lin Mo felt a little embarrassed.
"Wang Xiao, revise the agreement immediately. Let Lin Mo represent our Southern Province and enter the Martial Alliance Elite Camp!"
"Yes!"
Lu Li was not only the Commander of Southern Province, but also a high-ranking member of the Martial Alliance.
He had the authority to recommend elite Martial Artists for entry into the Martial Alliance Elite Camp.
"Martial Alliance Elite Camp?"
Hearing those words, Lin Mo looked at Wang Xiao in confusion.
"Haha, congratulations, Lin Mo! The Martial Alliance Training Camp was only established for generally outstanding geniuses.
But everyone who can enter the Martial Alliance Elite Camp is an Awakened. They are geniuses among geniuses, absolute heavenly prodigies!
Every Martial Artist who graduates from the Elite Camp is a powerhouse capable of galloping across a region.
They all have a great chance of breaking through the ninth grade and stepping into the realm of Grandmasters in the future.
Inside, there is an even richer supply of resources.
Just the food alone—the Mutant Beast meat consumed there comes from creatures of at least the fifth rank.
That meat contains massive amounts of blood qi power, making it even more effective at raising blood qi.
And there is no need to even mention the teaching staff.
The weakest Mentors employed there are seventh-grade, and there are even Grandmaster powerhouses stationed there.
With their guidance, your future Six Martial Artist Refinements will be completed with twice the result for half the effort.
And those with outstanding results can even obtain Earth Grade Martial Skills!"
"Oh?" Lin Mo's eyes lit up upon hearing this.
What he lacked most right now were Martial Skills, as well as the currently crucial Six Martial Artist Refinements. This suited him perfectly.
The so-called Six Martial Artist Refinements were: fourth-grade Skin Refining, fifth-grade Bone Refining, sixth-grade Tendon Refining, seventh-grade Marrow Refining, eighth-grade Blood Refining, and ninth-grade Spirit Refining!
