Chapter 4: Assessment Passed

Old Jiang seems very confident.

Chief Instructor Wu Tong smiled, his gaze falling on Luo Feng.

Not only him, almost everyone present looked at Luo Feng, awaiting his assessment results.

These people were instructors of Jixian Wuguan in the various districts of Yangzhou Cheng, and they were naturally delighted to see exceptionally gifted trainees appear.

At this moment, Luo Feng had already stepped up to the punch force testing machine; his legs suddenly exerted force, his body twisted slightly, and his waist and hips burst forth with great power, which then traveled segment by segment into his arm.

Luo Feng's fist seemed like an arrow shot from a full‑moon bow, leaving a fleeting afterimage; "Pong!" the fist already slammed heavily onto the punch target.

Instantly, all eyes in the hall focused on the display screen of the punch force testing machine.

The punch target trembled, and a line of numbers appeared on the machine's screen—1150kg!

"Guys, we all passed the Quasi‑Warrior Assessment on the same day, it's fate—how about we find a place to have a drink together?"

It wasn't until then that Yang Wu and Bai Yang finally came to their senses, their faces showing a look of fear.

Among the nine, only one was unlucky; his punch was only 892kg, just short of the qualification line, so he was eliminated.

At that moment, the silver‑haired black‑robed man glanced lightly over Zhou Yang and the three others.

He let out a low shout, his right fist whizzing out like a cannonball, then landed heavily on the punch force testing machine.

"Captain, sorry to have kept you waiting so long—let's go out,"

When they learned that Zhou Yang lived in Mingyue Community, the others started heckling, wanting to give Zhou Yang a good beating.

"Should we give a reminder?"

Luo Feng and the others were startled; that Chief Instructor was the top boss of Jixian Wuguan across all of Yangzhou Cheng, a position of very high status.

He called him 'Captain'—so what exactly is the silver‑haired black‑robed man's identity?

Even Zhou Yang curiously looked toward that man.

Having made up his mind, Zhou Yang stopped overthinking and quickly returned home in Mingyue Community.

Stepping out of the Jixian Wuguan's gate, the burly strong man Yang Wu cheerfully suggested.

And for the final 'Neural Response Test', the two passed easily.

"Next, Zhou Yang!"

The group was in high spirits and immediately nodded in agreement.

Zhou Yang, Luo Feng, and Yang Wu were already well acquainted, and the other passer, Bai Yang, after a brief chat, also became known.

Named — 'Gene Original Energy Cultivation Method'.

"Alright, Old Jiang, this year you produced such a good seedling; looks like the contribution reward will be ours!"

"The next real combat assessment is on August 1st; you have a month to prepare, and also this."

Meanwhile, Zhou Yang and Luo Feng's instructor Jiang Thousand Years was leisurely sitting on a chair, listening to a group of old brothers' praises, a smug smile on his face.

Zhou Yang said it was nothing, drove home, and the group found a bustling restaurant to have a lively lunch together.

The Gene Original Energy Cultivation Method explains how to absorb Cosmic energy to strengthen flesh's genes, gathering gene original energy!

"Luo Feng's punch force test passed!"

Listening to him, Jiang Thousand Years gave a restrained smile.

And the kid Luo Feng topped everyone with a "high score" of 28.6m/s.

He stood still, taking a deep breath.

One thing hadn't happened yet, and he didn't know how to tell Luo Feng; he couldn't just say, "I sense your father will be beaten by Zhang Haobai, go check it out?"

Otherwise Luo Feng would think I'm crazy.

"1101kg!"

At first glance at this article, Zhou Yang's eyes showed a hint of excitement.

……

To put it plainly, Zhou Yang's previous training was just physical conditioning, akin to 'external skills' in wuxia novels, improving bodily qualities through repeated drills.

Chief Instructor Wu Tong gave Jiang Thousand Years and the Warriors a brief instruction, then walked toward a silver‑haired black‑robed man standing at the edge, laughing:

Afterwards, he said no more, turned and left directly with Chief Instructor Wu Tong.

The Gene Original Energy Cultivation Method, however, is like the 'inner skill' cultivated by masters.

Even Chief Instructor Wu Tong nodded appreciatively.

After a satisfying meal, watching Luo Feng's departing back, Zhou Yang suddenly recalled something.

After reviewing the contract, he and Luo Feng and the others exchanged glances, then without hesitation signed his name at the back.

Once cultivated, one can refine gene original energy, making power endless, and further strengthen the body's potentials from inside out.

"Pong!"

"Everyone, regarding the upcoming matters and signing the real combat assessment contract, please help out."

"Another little prodigy!"

Zhou Yang silently marveled, quickly averted his gaze, not daring to look at the black‑robed man's eyes.

If one rashly interferes with the plot, it might affect the timing of Luo Feng's awakening of Spiritual Thought Power.

"It seems that today, Luo Feng's father was beaten by Zhang Haobai, and Luo Feng, in anger, beat him up, then was taken by police to a detention center?"

"Nice!"

"Haha, President, the reward should be doubled; I still have an untapped talent here!"

"Alright!"

"Both kids have good talent, work hard."

With Chief Instructor Wu Tong's words ending, this Quasi‑Warrior Assessment was fully completed.

Moreover, this incident wasn't bad for Luo Feng; when the person Zhang Haobai sought in the detention center deliberately targeted him, Luo Feng fully awakened his Spiritual Thought Power and his physical qualities greatly improved.

The remaining eight people began the second item, the "Speed Test".

In this world, Warriors are powerful; top‑level Warriors can exceed the speed of sound, and a single slash can shatter steel plates several meters thick!

He glanced to the side and saw that Yang Wu and Bai Yang beside him were still in a daze.

Today nine people took the assessment, and four ultimately passed, which is about the average pass rate for the Quasi‑Warrior Assessment.

"Mom, I'm going to the training hall later; please don't let anyone disturb me!"

And the reason they are strong is that they rely on Gene primal energy!

"Ha!"

As he passed Luo Feng, the other person nodded at him and whispered, "Good luck."

After the black‑robed man left, Jiang Thousand Years and the other Martial Arts Academy instructors relaxed and began ushering Zhou Yang and the others into the training hall.

The silver‑haired black‑robed man gave a slight smile and, surprised, glanced at Zhou Yang and Luo Feng.

Once this step was completed, the instructor Jiang Thousand Years beside them smiled and said:

Then a wave of coolness surged from his chest to his mind, and Zhou Yang jolted awake, becoming fully conscious.

This item posed no difficulty for Zhou Yang and Luo Feng; Zhou Yang easily ran at 27.9 m/s, surpassing the qualifying line of 25 m/s.

Including Zhou Yang, nine people took this test, and they quickly completed the punch power test.

For a moment, Zhou Yang felt the silver‑haired black‑robed man's eyes were like the boundless Xingkong, and he instantly sank into them.

Zhou Yang hesitated briefly, then ultimately abandoned the idea.

"So this is the legendary Spiritual Thought Master? One glance makes one's mind hazy—truly impressive!"

"Heh, old Jiang, what rotten luck is this, earning two contribution points for free."

Hearing him, the Warriors present instantly turned their gazes toward Zhou Yang, who was preparing nearby, their eyes showing a hint of expectation.

"Finally we get to witness the cultivation methods of this world!"

During this period, being dragged by Luo Feng to train daily, his punch power improved again, and now it had even surpassed Luo Feng of the same generation!

Zhou Yang glanced over briefly; the contract was simple, stating that in the live combat assessment, any death or injury is not the responsibility of Jixian Wuguan.

"You all stop standing there and come over here!"

"A good seedling—yes, passed!"

Seeing the number, the Warriors in the training hall, led by Chief Instructor Wu Tong, also lit up with excitement.

Of course, Heaven rewards the diligent.

"Oh?"

He's been transmigrated into this world for over half a year; during that time, to keep up with Luo Feng, he endures countless grueling training sessions that drain his stamina daily.

It can be said that only after successfully cultivating the Gene primal energy cultivation method does one truly step onto the Warrior cultivation path.

Luo Feng, after a slight struggle, opened his eyes, his gaze filled with astonishment.

And today is the moment to test the results of his frantic half‑year training!

"This is the Warrior live‑combat assessment contract; take a look, and if there's no problem, sign your name."

"Alright, in this Quasi‑Warrior Assessment, four people passed: Luo Feng, Zhou Yang, Bai Yang, and Yang Wu."

"For the next month, you may begin attempting to cultivate Gene primal energy," Instructor Jiang Thousand Years smiled, "As for the most precious 'Guiding Technique,' you can only obtain it after becoming Warriors and joining my Jixian Wuguan or the army, etc."

"Captain?"

Saying that, he moved aside, quickly operated, and a huge screen materialized on the training hall wall, displaying an article.

After Jiang Thousand Years and several other instructors reiterated some points to note, Zhou Yang and the others finally walked out of the building housing the training hall.

Zhou Yang nodded confidently and stepped up to the punch power testing machine.

Chief Instructor Wu Tong also nodded appreciatively, then casually took an ID card, swiped it over the device, and said, "Next, Bai Yang."

At that moment, the Warrior conducting the test called Zhou Yang's name; he responded, lifted his foot, and stepped forward.

He assumed a slightly crouched horse stance, with his left foot forward, then slowly drew back his right fist, his torso like a fully drawn bow, gathering his whole body's power.

The group of Warriors sitting with Instructor Jiang Thousand Years brightened their eyes and began praising him one after another.

He hurriedly gave a brief instruction, then slipped into the Level‑1 underground training hall.

"With the Gene primal energy cultivation method, I wonder how long it will take me to succeed."
