Chapter 211: Comprehensive Testing, Legendary Figure

Li Fei, Li Tianyu, and Chen Lixin walked into the Academic Affairs building of Wuan University together.

"Inside is the director of the Academic Affairs Office for the Martial Arts Department, who is in charge of freshman registration."

Li Tianyu led Li Fei to the door of an office.

Li Fei knocked on the door gently.

"Please come in."

A pleasant, mature female voice came from inside.

Li Fei pushed the door open and walked in, only to see a woman sitting in the office wearing a light yellow cheongsam, with a slender figure and black-rimmed glasses.

She had her hair pinned up with a hairpin; although her features were ordinary, her figure and temperament were truly excellent, and paired with those black-rimmed glasses, she was full of a mature, elegant, and sexy aura.

"Hello, Teacher. I am a specially admitted student from Xingcheng, and I am here to register."

Li Fei walked up to her with his special admission documents and handed them over with both hands.

"A specially admitted student?"

The female teacher was somewhat surprised, took another look at Li Fei, and then took the documents from his hands to read them carefully.

"Student Li Fei, please show me your national identification card."

The female teacher said softly in a pleasant voice.

"Alright."

Li Fei took out his national identification card and handed it over.

"Please extend your hand."

After opening the national identification card, the female teacher continued.

Li Fei complied, extending both hands with palms facing up so she could compare his fingerprints against the national identification card.

After carefully and earnestly comparing the fingerprints of all ten of Li Fei's fingers against the card, the female teacher nodded and returned the card to Li Fei:

"Student Li Fei, welcome to Wuan University. Next, you need to undergo a comprehensive aptitude test. Only after completing the test can I finalize your enrollment registration."

"Alright, no problem. I can start the test now."

"Please follow me."

The female teacher stood up and led Li Fei out of the office.

"Hello, Professor Wen."

Upon seeing her, Li Tianyu quickly greeted her respectfully.

"Hello."

Wen Ke nodded at Li Tianyu.

"So it's Professor Wen on duty this month."

Li Tianyu walked to Li Fei's side and whispered:

"This Professor Wen Ke is the youngest professor in the Wuan University Martial Arts Department. She is very famous at Wuan University and is extremely formidable!"

"A professor?"

Li Fei looked at Wen Ke, who was leading the way, in surprise.

Before coming, he had learned about the basic situation at Wuan University; the instructors here were also graded, with the lowest being Third-Class Instructors, followed by Second-Class, First-Class, and Special-Class Instructors.

Above Special-Class Instructors were professors.

It was fine for the other seven departments, where instructor ranks were based on seniority, reputation, and knowledge, but in the Martial Arts Department, instructor rank evaluations were directly linked to strength.

One had to be at least a Martial Master at the early stage of Qi Transformation to qualify as a Third-Class Instructor, and only Martial Masters who had refined their strength had a chance to obtain the qualification of a Second-Class or First-Class Instructor.

Special-Class Instructors were all at the peak of the Qi Transformation realm and had unique expertise in a certain field, such as powerful saber techniques or the use of mutated attribute implants.

As for the professors of the Wuan University Martial Arts Department, they were all at least Dao Foundation realm powerhouses!

"Is Professor Wen in the Dao Foundation realm?"

Li Fei asked.

"That's right, impressive, isn't it?"

Li Tianyu looked at Wen Ke in front of them with an expression of admiration:

"My goal is to become someone like Professor Wen in the future!"

"Isn't your goal to become a general?"

"They don't conflict. Once I break through to the Dao Foundation realm early, becoming a general will be a piece of cake, won't it?"

"That makes sense."

Li Fei nodded, secretly sighing to himself that Wuan University was truly something; he had just run into a Dao Foundation realm powerhouse by chance!

"The director of the Academic Affairs Office for the Martial Arts Department works on a rotation system, with professors taking turns. It must be Professor Wen's turn this month. Freshman enrollment testing is a major event, and the higher-ups require it to be personally presided over by the director of the Academic Affairs Office."

Li Tianyu explained to Li Fei.

Li Fei nodded; no wonder Wen Ke had to lead the way personally.

Soon, the group reached the top floor of the Academic Affairs building, which contained many rooms.

Several staff members bowed respectfully upon seeing Wen Ke.

"There is a student who needs to be tested; you all should prepare."

Wen Ke said softly to the staff.

"Understood."

The staff members quickly dispersed.

Soon, Wen Ke handed a form to Li Fei:

"Next, take this form and go to the different rooms in order to conduct the tests. It will only be considered finished once all the blank fields on this form are filled."

Li Fei took the form and glanced at it; he had the illusion of having returned to his past life, undergoing a physical examination at a hospital.

The first items to be tested on this form were his height and weight, and below that were dozens of other test items!

"How about it, stunned?"

Li Tianyu said to Li Fei with a smile, "The aptitude tests at Wuan University are much more professional than the ones we had before. They are very comprehensive; they don't just test your aptitude, but also determine which type of implant is most suitable for you. That's why young masters like Chen Lixin didn't use implants at the Chen family beforehand, waiting until they came to Wuan University to officially embark on the path of martial arts. Fortunately, you have already found the implant most suitable for yourself."

"However, you are coming to do the test alone today, so you don't need to queue; you are much luckier than we were. We had to queue for several days back then."

While they were talking, the staff had finished their preparations, and Wen Ke signaled to Li Fei that he could begin the test.

Thus, Li Fei followed the order written on the form and went into Room No. 1 to test his height and weight; Li Tianyu and Chen Lixin could not enter and had to wait in the corridor.

After the measurement, the staff filled the data onto the form, and then Li Fei went to Room No. 2.

The test item written here was 'Tolerance Test (Metal)', and the columns below it were written in order: 'Tolerance Test (Wood)', 'Tolerance Test (Water)', and so on.

In addition to the traditional five elements, there were also the seven mutated attributes: 'Wind', 'Thunder', 'Light', 'Dark', 'Time', 'Space', and 'Spirit'.

"'Time' is time, 'Space' is space, what is this 'Spirit'? Is it mental?"

Li Fei suddenly became curious.

He walked into Room No. 2, where a huge iron cage was placed, and a staff member was calibrating some kind of reagent on an experimental bench.

Soon, Wen Ke also walked in.

"Student Li Fei, the data says you are already a martial artist at the late stage of Body Breaking."

Wen Ke said to Li Fei.

Li Fei nodded: "Yes."

He had not intended to deliberately hide his cultivation base; he just needed a process to reflect his breakthrough. If he suddenly jumped a realm, it would inevitably arouse suspicion from others.

"Then in the following tests, you can stimulate the power of your implant so that we can test more accurately."

"Alright. Professor Wen, I would like to ask a question."

"Go ahead."

"What impact will the aptitude tested here have on the future?"

Li Tianyu had not told Li Fei about this question because she did not want Li Fei to have a psychological burden in advance.

In any case, everyone's aptitude was what it was and could not be changed, so Li Tianyu thought she would tell him after Li Fei finished the test.

But Li Fei wanted to know first because he had the ability to control his test results.

"Every freshman's aptitude test can be regarded as a credit task, and we will grant you credits based on your test results. The higher your aptitude evaluation, the more credits you will ultimately receive. This might be the easiest credit you can get in your university career."

Wen Ke said to Li Fei.

"Granting credits?"

Li Fei remembered what Li Tianyu had said earlier and immediately asked:

"Then how many credits can be obtained at most for this task?"

"30 credits."

"30 credits? Isn't it said that after freshmen enroll, as long as they get 30 credits within two years, they can stay in school? Can this test alone get 30 credits?"

Li Fei was somewhat surprised.

He had thought that credits were very difficult to obtain.

Wen Ke smiled and explained patiently:

"That is indeed the case, but it is very, very difficult for you to get 30 credits in the aptitude test. If you really have such good aptitude, the school is of course happy to let you stay in school."

Li Fei understood.

Getting 30 credits within two years was just a threshold set by Wuan University for students to filter out those who were not capable enough.

And if your aptitude was high enough, you could naturally cross this threshold easily.

"Any other questions?"

Wen Ke looked at Li Fei.

Li Fei shook his head: "Many thanks, Professor Wen, this student has no more questions."

"Good, take this potion, then enter that iron cage."

Wen Ke took the potion prepared by the staff, inspected it, then handed it to Li Fei and said in a gentle tone:

"The following test might make you feel very uncomfortable, but rest assured, with me here, there will be no real danger throughout this test."

"Understood."

Li Fei took the potion from her hand and drank it in one gulp.

Then, with a calm expression, he walked into the large iron cage.

The staff member closed the door of the iron cage.

"Student Li Fei, if you cannot hold on later, you may speak up to signal us, and we will stop the test immediately."

Wen Ke said to Li Fei.

Martial Arts University requires a powerhouse at the Dao Foundation Realm to preside over the entire process to prevent problems during testing, so Wen Ke naturally possesses the ability to clearly monitor Li Fei's physical condition.

However, the physical limit she determines is certainly different from the limit the student determines for themselves; many students who come to test give up before reaching their true physical limit.

Therefore, this test is not only testing physical aptitude but also the student's willpower.

"Professor Wen, I understand, we may begin."

Li Fei said calmly from inside the iron cage.

Wen Ke nodded to the staff member.

The other party took out a large tuning fork and struck it heavily against the iron cage.

Hum!!!

Hum, hum, hum!!!

A piercing metallic vibration rang out, and the iron cage where Li Fei was located began to shake.

Once the sound began, he immediately felt a sense of nausea, and goosebumps broke out all over his body!

From the moment he took the potion, he had temporarily severed the connection between himself and the Myriad Blood Bead, wanting to experience the testing process first.

Next, the staff used various tools to continuously strike or rub the iron cage, causing it to emit different sounds.

The potion Li Fei had taken began to take effect under these conditions, causing him to experience intense nausea and dizziness!

It felt as if he had been thrown into a high-speed spinning washing machine.

Li Fei gritted his teeth and persisted for a while, feeling as if he were about to lose his footing; he remembered what Wen Ke had said earlier, so he activated the Steel Armor implant within his body, entering the 'Tyrant Body' state.

"A metal-attribute 【Steel Armor】? Hmm, the quality doesn't look low; could it be the rarest Grade 2 Superior?"

Wen Ke carefully sensed Li Fei's state while recording the results.

After Li Fei entered the 'Tyrant Body' state, the nausea and dizziness lessened significantly.

A moment later, the discomfort intensified again, and Li Fei felt he could no longer hold on, nearly losing his balance.

"My aptitude for compatibility is estimated to be only at the Grade B Superior level, so if I want to get a high score in the test, I must perform better in terms of endurance; I can only use the Myriad Blood Bead to cheat just a little bit."

Li Fei thought to himself, and with a shift of his intent, he re-established the connection with the Myriad Blood Bead.

The next second, all discomfort vanished.

While Li Fei was undergoing his aptitude test in the Academic Affairs building, a tall young woman with her long hair coiled up with a jade hairpin was walking toward the Academic Affairs building.

In this world, a woman wearing her hair up does not necessarily mean she is a married woman, so there is great freedom in hairstyles.

This young woman's features were also average, but her temperament was excellent.

Unlike Shangguan Xiao's coldness or Wen Ke's gentleness, her temperament gave off a noble feeling, like a peacock standing aloof from the world; she did not reject people from a thousand miles away, yet people subconsciously dared not approach her.

She was the third-year student from Martial Arts University whom Li Fei had met when he first absorbed the 【Steel Armor】 implant—Wang Fengqing. (See Chapter 19 of Volume 1 for details)

"Fengqing, is there something special about this person that you would specifically run over to watch his aptitude test?"

Beside Wang Fengqing followed a tall, dashing, and handsome young man, also wearing a light blue robe, with a jade pendant hanging at his waist that looked expensive at a glance, and holding a sword in his hand.

"I want to know what his test results are."

Wang Fengqing recalled the scene when Li Fei successfully absorbed the Grade 2 Superior 【Steel Armor】 implant and walked downstairs with Hao Yi.

The vast majority of martial artists' first implants are Grade 1; only a very few with good aptitude can absorb a Grade 2 implant, and even then, they are usually inferior; those who can absorb a Grade 2 medium are one in ten thousand, let alone a Grade 2 superior?

And what truly made Wang Fengqing care was not just this point; Hao Yi had said personally back then that the martial Dao foundation Li Fei would cultivate in the future was 【Primordial Heavenly Gold】!

This is a Dao foundation with a higher difficulty than the 【Qinghua Linglong】 that Wang Fengqing herself cultivated.

Therefore, when Wang Fengqing heard from her grandfather that Li Fei had received a special admission spot and arrived at Martial Arts University, she rushed over immediately.

She was very curious about what Li Fei's true aptitude actually was.

"Anyone who can make you curious, Fengqing, must be extraordinary; I would like to see it too."

The man beside her said with a smile.

Soon, the two walked into the Academic Affairs building together; this scene was seen by many students from the Stop-War Department on the road, who all revealed curious expressions.

Wang Fengqing is a legendary figure at Martial Arts University; she broke through from the Embryo-Nurturing Realm to the Dao Foundation Realm in just three years after entering the Stop-War Department, setting the fastest breakthrough record in the history of Martial Arts University!

The history of Martial Arts University is only a short sixteen years, so this 'all-time' record might not seem to have much weight.

But even if this record were placed in the history of the entire Great Lan Dynasty, Wang Fengqing's breakthrough speed could still enter the top twenty in history!

It is precisely because she has such a formidable granddaughter that Wang Qitai, a special-grade lecturer, has so much face at the Martial Arts Hall; only Hao Yi would dare not give him any face at all.

When Wang Fengqing failed to get that Grade 2 Superior 【Steel Armor】 implant from Hao Yi, not long after, Martial Arts University helped her obtain another one.

Although the Grade 2 Superior 【Steel Armor】 implant is rare, it is not something of inestimable value, because the difficulty of absorption is high, and the difficulty of the accompanying Dao foundation practice is even greater; there are simply very few people who can use it.

The reason Wang Fengqing went back to Xingcheng to get it was because Martial Arts University's inventory didn't have one, and Wang Qitai told her that the Xingcheng Martial Arts Hall happened to have one. Thus, she returned to Xingcheng and visited her grandfather along the way.

She just didn't expect that she would meet Li Fei that time, meet someone who was going to cultivate 【Primordial Heavenly Gold】.

Soon, Wang Fengqing and the man with the sword walked up to the top floor of the Academic Affairs building.

"Senior Sister Wang? Senior Brother Duanmu?"

Li Tianyu showed a look of surprise upon seeing the two.

The young man who came with Wang Fengqing was named Duanmu Weicai, a scion of a prominent family from Datong Prefecture.

There are three major families in Datong Prefecture; the Zhang family's power is mainly in the Stop-War Academy, while the Duanmu family's power is mainly in the Jianghu.

One of the 'Seven Princes', the 'Gambling Prince', is the current head of the Duanmu family, managing all the casino businesses in Datong Prefecture!

There is a saying that the Duanmu family's wealth is the greatest in the entire Datong Prefecture and even the entire Feng Province.

Duanmu Weicai is the only son of the family head, so he can be said to be the son of the richest man in Feng Province!

With first-class family background, first-class aptitude, and first-class appearance, Duanmu Weicai is naturally a prominent figure at Martial Arts University.

"You are?"

Duanmu Weicai naturally did not know Li Tianyu.

"A first-year freshman in the Stop-War Department of Martial Arts University, Li Tianyu."

"Li Fei is your younger brother, right?"

Wang Fengqing asked suddenly.

"Yes, he is my younger brother. Senior Sister Wang, are you here to find him?"

"Yes, I came to see his aptitude test results."

"Ah?"

Li Tianyu looked surprised.

She did not expect that Li Fei could stir up a legendary figure like Wang Fengqing on his first day at Martial Arts University.

Both are powerhouses at the Dao Foundation Realm, but Wang Fengqing is much younger than Wen Ke and clearly has more potential.

Li Tianyu had imagined that she could become someone like Wen Ke in the future, but she had never thought she could compare to Wang Fengqing.

The gap in talent was too great!

"May I ask which item this Junior Brother Li Fei is currently testing?"

Duanmu Weicai, who was on the side, suddenly asked.

Li Tianyu pointed to the No. 2 test room: "He is currently testing metal-attribute endurance."

"Then may I ask how long this Junior Brother Li Fei has been inside?"

Duanmu Weicai appeared very polite and did not have the arrogance of a scion of a prominent family.

"He has been inside for about five minutes."

Li Tianyu replied.

As soon as she finished speaking, more people walked up the stairs.

There were four or five people who came up this time, all students from the Stop-War Department, both male and female.

"Senior Brother Duanmu, Senior Sister Wang."

These people greeted Duanmu Weicai and Wang Fengqing enthusiastically.

These two were more eye-catching than anyone else in the school; the two of them entering the Academic Affairs building together and coming directly to the place of the aptitude test naturally aroused curiosity.

People who love gossip are everywhere, so several students from the Stop-War Department rushed over directly.

After a few simple words, they learned the purpose of the two coming here.

"Senior Sister Wang is actually curious about a freshman's aptitude test results?"

Now these people were curious too.

Wang Fengqing's aptitude is already enough to 'leave a name in history'; what level of aptitude could make her interested?

"Metal-attribute endurance test; I remember I stayed inside for nearly ten minutes when I tested."

Duanmu Weicai said in a casual tone.

"Ten minutes!"

Li Tianyu was secretly shocked upon hearing these words.

She recalled her own test, where that terrifying sense of dizziness had caused her to fail to last even five minutes.

Even for those suited for metal-attribute implants, it was difficult to last more than ten minutes in this kind of test.

"I wonder how long Li Fei can last?"

Unconsciously, Li Tianyu felt a bit nervous.

At the same time, the fact that Wang Fengqing had personally come to observe a freshman's aptitude test quickly spread throughout the Martial University.

There will be another chapter tonight.
