Chapter 12: Combat Power Off the Charts!

Bang!

Lu Jing exerted all his strength and threw a fierce punch at the instrument before him.

"Beep!"

"Punch power test, 2985kg!"

Good buddy, this punch is that heavy?

Lu Jing was slightly startled; this figure far exceeded his expectations.

A second‑realm martial artist's punch is considered qualified at around 2500kg.

His punch shot straight up to nearly 3000kg!

"It seems the contemplation method still has many undeveloped effects..."

Lu Jing pondered for a moment and grasped the key.

Just now, when he exerted force, his mental power was highly focused.

In that instant, he felt his control over his muscles increase by a notch.

He effortlessly coordinated his whole body's muscles, which is why he threw such a terrifying punch.

This is the most obvious manifestation of mental enhancement in actual combat.

Every movement is near perfect, natural and spontaneous.

Every attack exerts full force, flowing freely.

Lu Jing felt a bit excited; this time he plans to use burning power to test his limit punch again.

"Huu~"

As his breathing slowed, Lu Jing's muscles began to move in a rhythmic pattern.

Next moment!

Bang!

The punch wind split the air.

"Beep!"

"Punch power test, 6960kg!"

Seeing the value on the instrument, Lu Jing shook his head slightly, a bit disappointed.

He had thought burning power could triple his limit punch, but now it seems it only boosts the base punch.

Yu Mei over there was stunned, her pupils quaking.

And looking at the youth's expression, he seems not very satisfied with this result?

Lu Jing didn't notice Yu Mei's reaction behind him and began the next round of testing on his own.

Ten minutes later, Lu Jing walked out of Tianyi Martial Hall.

"Yu Mei, are you saying that kid whose blood qi surged last time came again for testing?"

Inside the testing room, Hall Director Zhang Qingyang pushed the door and entered.

"What's wrong with you, did you get stimulated?"

Seeing Yu Mei's absent‑minded look, Zhang Qingyang couldn't help finding it funny.

"Is it that the kid's blood qi dropped sharply, scaring you?"

Zhang Qingyang said with a smile: "I said before, this medicine does great harm to the body; nowadays many youngsters, to pass the martial exam, like to mess with these heretical ways."

"No, Director..."

Yu Mei shook her head: "His blood qi didn't drop but rose, and by a lot."

Zhang Qingyang obviously didn't believe it, raised his eyebrows and said: "Oh, really? Open the equipment so I can check the test records."

One minute later, Lu Jing's test data appeared on the screen.

After Zhang Qingyang saw the numbers clearly.

"Damn, what's going on?"

Zhang Qingyang's face changed drastically, his expression shifting from doubt to shock, staring at the display as if he couldn't believe his own eyes.

"Yu Mei, do you think this test chamber is broken?"

Zhang Qingyang's face twitched.

Yu Mei had already recovered, bringing Zhang Qingyang to the combat power test room: "The data should be fine; his combat power has increased even more dramatically..."

As she operated, Lu Jing's combat power also showed up.

458 points!

Nearly double that of an ordinary second‑realm martial artist!

Zhang Qingyang was stunned for a moment, then roared: "Go, go find this kid for me—he's definitely a talent endowed!"

His voice boomed, echoing throughout Tianyi Martial Hall.

"Yes, Director!"

Meanwhile, after Lu Jing came out, he took a car straight to the Martial Artist Association.

If he's fast enough, he might still make today's martial artist examination.

Needless to say, the taxi driver is really talkative, chatting with Lu Jing about all sorts of topics along the way.

"Young man, I see you're not old—why are you going to the Martial Artist Association?"

The driver, seeing Lu Jing still looks like a student, wondered about his purpose.

Lu Jing smiled and replied: "Sir, I'm going to take the martial artist examination."

"Haha, taking the martial artist examination, kid, you're really funny!"

The driver burst out laughing, thinking Lu Jing was joking with him.

I see you're so young, you must have just come of age; you're still far from being a Martial Artist.

My own child is about your age, attending third year at No. 1 High School in our city, and is about to take the Martial Artist exam; the whole family is worried about it.

Her Blood Qi is decent; if she can get into a junior Martial Arts University, then I won't have to drive anymore.

As soon as the driver brought up his own child, he immediately opened up and began boasting to Lu Jing about his child's achievements.

Young man, I think you're not bad either; do you have confidence getting into Martial Arts University?

Lu Jing also felt awkward interrupting, so he could only nod helplessly and casually agree.

After enduring several minutes, they finally arrived at the destination.

Lu Jing hurriedly got out of the car and let out a long breath.

Before leaving, the taxi driver didn't forget to wave at Lu Jing and say, "Young man, if the chance arises I'll introduce my daughter to you; she's quite outstanding!"

Lu Jing gave a wry smile, nodded, then turned and walked into the Martial Artist Association.

Upon entering the hall, he immediately felt the Martial Artist Association's imposing and ancient elegant atmosphere.

He looked around; although there were no luxurious decorations, it naturally had a simple and grand air.

In the middle of the hall stood a statue of the Martial Artist Association's founder, displaying an aura of supreme dignity.

Lu Jing followed the signs forward and arrived at a service window.

Hello, I want to register for the Martial Artist examination.

The staff member at the window took Lu Jing's ID, and upon seeing his age, gave him a few extra glances, apparently verifying his information.

Fill out the registration form, then scan to pay.

The staff member handed over a form with both hands, indicating Lu Jing should fill it out.

Let me also tell you about the points to note for the Martial Artist examination...

While Lu Jing was filling out the form, the staff member mentioned some precautions, and his attitude was surprisingly good.

Although she didn't think Lu Jing could pass the examination, since he came to register, it shows his strength isn't far off; at least he has strength close to that of a Martial Artist.

Moreover, Lu Jing is so young that his talent must be excellent; if he improves his attitude, he might even form a good karmic connection.

After finishing the form, Lu Jing followed the staff's instructions and entered another hall.

This hall was more spacious, with a few people awaiting the examination scattered about.

In the center of the hall were placed the testing equipment and tools.

Lu Jing briefly looked around, then casually found a seat and waited for the examination to begin.

Not long after, a few more people entered; among them, a girl looked somewhat familiar.

It seems to be... Leng Yueyue from Class Three, the girl whose Blood Qi test exceeded 13, which had caused quite a stir at the time.

Lu Jing recalled it and couldn't help but glance at her twice.

Leng Yueyue's Blood Qi has also risen quickly; she actually came to take the Martial Artist examination.

Here, Leng Yueyue and Lu Jing are the youngest; everyone else looks at least in their thirties.

Leng Yueyue seemed to notice Lu Jing's gaze, turned her head to look at him once, then withdrew her sight.

It appears she didn't recognize him as a classmate from the same year.

Alright, everyone, quiet down!

A sturdy middle-aged man walked in, closed the hall's door, and spoke loudly.

Today's examination staff are all present; the examination will start immediately!
