The testers, including the Second-Order Martial Artist Jing Yuan, all stood up from their seats; some didn't so much stand as leap up, and the muscle-bound man in the vest even plopped onto the ground.
Aisha couldn't help but cover her mouth in shock.
Lin Qingyan's clear eyes held a trace of astonishment.
"Forty, forty-one thousand two hundred thirty-two?!" someone stammered with a sharp voice.
The whole room instantly erupted.
"H-how much?!"
"Holy crap, I didn't see wrong, did I?!"
Someone rubbed his eyes and said with a dazed expression, "Could I be hallucinating?"
"Just over ten points of Qi and Blood, over forty thousand combat power, is this even human?"
"If he is, I'll eat my hat."
"The machine must be broken!"
Everyone in the testing area had a look of horror on their faces, their gazes constantly shifting between the numbers on the combat detector and the young man standing in front of it.
The staff member said with a similarly trembling voice, "It, it might be a problem with the machine, could we please ask you to test again?"
Jiang Yuan nodded and punched out again.
Everyone stared intently.
Lin Qingyan also became serious this time.
After seeing Jiang Yuan's seemingly ordinary punch land on the combat power testing machine.
Her exquisite small face under the brim of her hat revealed a hint of astonishment and shock.
What powerful force application technique!
The power was gathered and released five, no, six times in an instant, finally converging into a single point and exploding like a stone dropped into water!
Just in terms of technique, it was no less impressive than her own force application techniques, and his perfect mastery of power even more so astonished Lin Qingyan.
"Bang!"
With a loud noise, the hearts of most people couldn't help but tremble.
"42093."
The number that popped up on the combat power testing machine with a booming tremble was slightly higher than before.
Jiang Yuan was not surprised, after all, on the way here he had evenly distributed the 20 free attribute points gained from leveling up among his four dimensional attributes, increasing his strength, and the amplified damage was higher than when he was at Chongming Martial Arts Hall.
Seeing the numbers on the combat power testing machine.
The entire hall became completely silent, everyone's expressions were dull, their mouths wide open, their jaws practically hitting the floor, and the sounds of gasping for cold air rose and fell.
Everyone's expression changed as they looked at Jiang Yuan, as if they were looking at a monster.
Shock, horror, disbelief...
Some people's brains were buzzing, they stared blankly at Jiang Yuan, their minds losing the ability to think as if deprived of oxygen.
Jing Yuan clenched his scarred fists, his eyes wide, staring blankly at the young man, a storm raging in his heart.
As a Second-Order Martial Artist, the combat power he unleashed with a full-strength strike was only a little over twenty thousand points.
And this high school student in front of him, who was young enough to be about the same age as his own daughter, excessively young, being able to break through the limit and become a Martial Practitioner (One-Rank) was already enough to shock people speechless.
And his combat power actually reached a full two times his own!
Two times!
Just thinking about it made the man's scalp tingle.
Lin Qingyan, not far away, looked at Jiang Yuan, and the expression on her exquisite small face also became solemn.
Unless she used her second talent now, she would not be able to reach forty thousand points of damage at this stage.
Looking at the tall and handsome young man in the arena, Lin Qingyan felt puzzled.
How had she never heard of such a person in her previous life?
Where did he come from?
After a long silence in the spacious testing hall, someone struggled to force out two words.
"Monster..."
So young yet possessing such terrifying combat power, what else could he be but a monster?
The muscle-bound man in the vest, who was drenched in cold sweat, now shrank his neck, completely losing his previous arrogant demeanor, filled with panic.
He prayed that Jiang Yuan wouldn't notice him and would just let his previous words go as a fart.
"I passed, right?" Jiang Yuan asked the staff member who was still in a daze.
She came back to her senses and quickly said, "P-passed, you have reached Martial Practitioner (One-Rank) LV2."
"This is your Martial Artist badge, please take it."
Jiang Yuan took the badge; its material was like gold and jade, and it felt good to the touch.
"I also want to apply for that one hundred thousand yuan subsidy, just like her," Jiang Yuan said, glancing at Lin Qingyan; their eyes met for a moment.
"No, no problem," the young female staff member nodded like pounding garlic, "Please..."
"I'll take care of it," Aisha walked over and said.
"Then I'll trouble you."
Aisha looked at Jiang Yuan, her beautiful eyes sparkling with surprise: "A Martial Practitioner (One-Rank) can have an ultimate combat power of over forty thousand.
Jiang student, you really surprised me.
Now I understand why Yihan said that."
Ultimate combat power?
Jiang Yuan smiled and said nothing.
If he were to go all out, he was afraid quite a few people present would be scared shitless.
Watching Aisha lead Jiang Yuan and Lin Qingyan away, the people standing in place still couldn't recover for a long time.
It took quite a while for them to recover from their frozen state.
"It's too outrageous."
"A high school student, a Martial Practitioner (One-Rank) with 20 points of Qi and Blood, forty thousand points of damage."
Someone almost moaned aloud, "What level of talent must he have awakened?"
"Could it be a legendary class change?"
"But the introduction says he's an Assassin..."
"It couldn't be an Assassin... How could an Assassin have such high attack power?"
"Exactly, if an Assassin with over forty thousand damage came up and hit you, who could withstand that?"
"He could probably hit me like hitting a grandson right now, wait until his Qi and Blood reach one hundred, won't he even have the power to fight a Third-Order Martial Artist?"
"Hard to imagine..."
"My daughter is a high school graduate taking the college entrance exam, if she could break through 4 points of Qi and Blood and get into a Martial University, I'd die laughing, comparing people really makes you mad..."
"Why don't you consider that it's your own fault? Did you buy her tonics? Did you buy high-level Martial Skills?"
"..."
"Jiang Yuan, never heard of him.
Where did he come from?"
"I don't know, but in any case, this year's Martial Arts College Entrance Exam will be worth watching."
