Martial arts ascend to the gods

Chapter 75 Bronze Man
Zhou Leng looked at the sky, prepared to have dinner, and then returned to the Frost Giant Tree to rest.

Deng Zhijue sent a message asking Zhou Leng to go there.

Zhou Leng entered Deng Zhijue's office.

Deng Zhijue said: "Two good news."

"First, the appointment for the Bronze Man Formation is successful. We can go tomorrow."

"Second, when the Military and Guardian Department's Elite Freshman Award comes out, you can just sign and receive it directly."

Zhou Leng went over and signed the document, and Deng Zhijue pushed out a large box of medicine.

The elite new student award of the Wuwei Department is a reward of one Buyuan Pill and 50 Dabu Pills, with a total value of 15.

Zhou Leng pushed the Bu Yuan Pills to Deng Zhijue and took away 50 Dabu Pills.

Deng Zhijue said, "It's settled. How are you preparing for the joint entrance exam?"

"After experiencing the actual gambling fights, plus taking pills every day, I feel that I have made obvious progress." Zhou Leng said.

"That's good. By the way, the owner said that if you can reach the second level of the Bronze Man Formation, he will apply for a special scholarship for you. The more special scholarships you receive, the more you will receive."

"The owner also said that if you can break through the seventh level of bronze man in one go like Shan Heyuan, he will directly apply for the highest level of the Divine Eagle Program for you."

"No, I don't want to die in there." Zhou Leng said.

Deng Zhijue smiled and said, "In a few days, it will be the qualification selection for the 'joint examination'. You will definitely have no problem. However, this test will affect your ranking on the freshman list."

"It's the same as the test at the beginning of the semester, right?"

"All the tests and exams within the school are similar, except for some 'extreme tests'. Once you have a high enough score, you can take part in the extreme tests and also receive special scholarships."

"I'll give it my all."

The next afternoon, Zhou Leng arrived at the easternmost side of Rucheng.

Rucheng Martial Arts Bureau.

In Rucheng, the Municipal Martial Arts Bureau is a key department second only to the Municipal Martial Arts Office.

The Municipal Military Office is in charge of everything in the city.

The Martial Arts Bureau is a subordinate organization of the Dragon Country Martial Arts Department and is responsible for the ranking, review, testing, selection, training and everything else related to the city's martial artists.

The most important testing equipment and testing items in Rucheng are all placed in the Martial Arts Bureau.

Zhou Leng entered the Martial Arts Bureau and navigated to the location of the "Eighteen Bronze Men Formation" using the map.

Three magnificent brass gates stood in front, and each gate led to a formation of eighteen bronze men.

Zhou Leng walked while looking at the pictures and texts on both sides of the road.

Although human technology related to thermal weapons has been blocked, most of the technology can still be used for non-combat functions.

The Eighteen Bronze Men Formation combines technology, magic, and martial arts skills, becoming the most important trial item for the human race in the Qi and Blood Realm.

"The first level rewards a 10 Yuan-boosting pill, and the second level rewards a 12 Blood-cleansing pill..."

Zhou Leng's gaze lingered on the three words "Blood Cleansing Pills" for a moment.

The Blood Cleansing Pill is not used very often, and using it too much will harm the body, so it is not a core elixir.

Before the onset of innateness, every excessive circulation of Qi and blood would cause minor damage to the blood vessels or blood.

The blood-cleansing pills can not only repair damage, but also help eliminate more impurities in the blood.

Xixue Pills are often out of stock because this pill has almost replaced most cardiovascular disease medicines.

A series of diseases such as coronary heart disease, cerebral thrombosis, hemiplegia, etc. can be forcibly treated with blood-washing pills and blood-replenishing pills.

The recipes for human elixirs are either purchased from other worlds or obtained in the War of the Ten Realms. A small number are discovered from the ruins of various realms.

Zhou Leng looked at the content of the appointment text message on his mobile phone and walked towards the No. 3 Eighteen Bronze Men Formation.

"Zhou Leng?" Cao Jiajia's voice rang out.

Zhou Leng looked in the direction of the voice and saw Cao Jiajia and Xu Qingjin walking together, with dozens of classmates standing behind them.

"You guys are...oh, participating in a collective bronze man formation?" Zhou Leng remembered that students from Wuda University and Wuguan School were different in many ways.

"Yes, we are queuing up. Are you coming too?"

"Yes, I'm number three."

"Since your Qi moves with your body, you will definitely be able to pass the first level. The second level is a bit difficult. After all, the standard requirement for the second level is the middle stage of blood circulation."

Zhou Leng chatted and laughed with Cao Jiajia and Xu Qingjin.

Some of the Wuhan University students not far away were discussing Zhou Leng in a low voice.

Because of gambling, Zhou Leng became famous in the world.

Ji Changnian stood in the crowd, dressed in white, standing out from the crowd.

He just glanced at Zhou Leng lightly and continued to look ahead.

"The first level of the Eighteen Bronze Men, I am determined to win."

When the time came, Zhou Leng said goodbye to Cao Jiajia and Xu Qingjin, walked towards the No. 3 bronze man formation, waited for three minutes, and the guard signaled him to enter.

Zhou Leng walked through the heavy door, crossed the corridor, and entered a room of about two hundred square meters.

The floor of the room is covered with fine tracks.

At the end of the room, a humanoid puppet slowly moved forward along the track on the ground.

This puppet only has the outline of a human figure, with a round head and a square body. The body is inserted into a pillar, which is connected to a slide rail.

The upper body has eight arms and the lower body has four legs, made of demonized metal, with a faint glow.

As early as yesterday, Zhou Leng had memorized the rules.

hum...

Many parts of the bronze puppet's body suddenly emitted faint light, concentrated on the head and torso.

Only by hitting these places can you score points.

On the display screen at the end of the room, the word 100% appeared.

"The first formation of the Eighteen Bronze Men, the test begins. Please fight according to the rules."

After the electronic voice finished speaking, the bronze man suddenly accelerated and rushed over.

Zhou Leng took a step back and fixed his eyes.

The bronze man's speed was actually faster than the two opponents on the previous stage, similar to that of Wen Jianyuan, the sophomore of the West Sea Martial Arts School, and far faster than ordinary warriors in the early stages of blood circulation.

The eight metal arms were whirring and swinging everywhere.

After all, the bodies of ordinary puppets are not as flexible as those of humans. If they only have two arms, they can be easily dodged.

Zhou Leng dodged carefully, and the bronze man slid quickly along the track.

Zhou Leng was not in a hurry. After a while, he became familiar with the sliding rules of the bronze man.

Then, Zhou Leng tried to attack.

Bang!
Four bronze fists suddenly left his arms, carrying chains, and flew out a foot. Zhou Leng dodged three of them and was hit on the left shoulder by one of the bronze fists.

Zhou Leng gently shook his sore shoulders.

Very powerful, very rogue.

Soon, Zhou Leng figured out the bronze man's general attack pattern, and began to target his head and torso.

As Zhou Leng's attacks continued to succeed, the numbers on the display screen kept changing.

99.61%...98.63%...97.66%...

However, the bronze man is very shameless.

It can always attack from angles and distances that humans cannot possibly reach.

When it dropped to 50%, Zhou Leng's body was covered with bruises.

Fortunately, Zhou Leng kept his head to dodge, otherwise he would have been hit by the bronze fist and his face would be covered in blood.

When it dropped to 30%, the bronze man suddenly sped up.

The four legs began to swing wildly, and the eight arms also waved and smashed around.

Iron whirlwind turtle fist.

There is no pattern at all.

Zhou Leng looked at the time and realized that he couldn't delay any longer, so he attacked forcefully.

Since the Iron Turtle Fist has no blind spots, Zhou Leng's body will be hit every time he attacks successfully.

There were more and more wounds on his body, some even broke the skin.

When the number on the display drops to 00.00%, the bronze man stops.

Zhou Leng breathed a sigh of relief.

"Congratulations to the examiner for successfully challenging the first level of the Eighteen Bronze Men Formation."

"Since someone is challenging the Yin-Yang Bronze Man Formation on the second floor, please go back. You can challenge them in order, or you can challenge them after replenishing your Qi, or you can make an appointment for next time."

"I choose to replenish my true energy and then challenge the second level."

"Okay, please leave and wait."

Zhou Leng looked back at the blood on the bronze man, then looked down at the scars on his own body.

But my Qi moves with my body and my footwork is very advanced. If I were to switch to the initial stage of ordinary blood circulation and get hit on the head multiple times, I would definitely lie here.

"If Shanheyuan were here..."

Zhou Leng seemed to see a little giant, pinching the bronze man's neck with one hand and punching him hard with the other.

Zhou Leng walked through the door, entered the lounge, and meditated to restore his inner energy.

After his true energy was restored, Zhou Leng was reminded that he was ranked number 7 and would have to wait for about twenty minutes before he could enter.

Zhou Leng left the lounge and walked slowly while thinking about what he should do if the two bronze men swung their iron turtle fists at random.

This is just a primary bronze man. There are advanced bronze men behind it. It is said that they are as flexible as real people and are made and controlled by real magic masters.

Legend has it that the bronze man on the eighteenth floor is very strange, but no specific information has been leaked so far.

When Zhou Leng reached the entrance to the bronze man formation, he saw Xu Qingjin's class still queuing.

Seeing Zhou Leng covered in wounds, Xu Qingjin hurried over to ask.

"How about it?"

"Just cleared the first level, preparing for the second level."

"Are you okay? Do you want to rest?"

"It's nothing. These are just superficial injuries. It's inevitable to be injured when practicing martial arts. The more injuries you have now, the less likely you are to die in battle."

Cao Jiajia came over and said, "Zhou Leng, not bad. Those people in our class either admitted defeat or were knocked unconscious. They were all beaten into pig heads, but you only have a purple bruise at the corner of your mouth."

"How many students in your class passed?" Zhou Leng asked.

"Not a single one right now. Our teacher also said that the first month is purely for getting familiar with the bronze man. Generally, starting from the third month, students will gradually pass the test. Of course, geniuses like Ji Changnian are an exception."

"He passed?"

"It's not his turn yet, he will definitely pass. However, it's hard to say about the second level."

Zhou Leng glanced at the class and didn't know who Ji Changnian was.

Suddenly, Zhou Leng looked at a group of students walking over, none of them were as big as him.

Among them, an acquaintance was looking at him.

The former monitor of Class 01, Chang Luan.

Chang Luan hesitated for a moment and nodded slightly.

Zhou Leng also nodded.

Although Zhou Leng was curious about why he transferred schools, he was too lazy to ask because of the small conflict they had before.

Cao Jiajia waved to someone in the class, and a girl in the class also greeted Cao Jiajia with a smile.

"Which school are they from?" Zhou Leng asked.

“From East China University of Science and Technology.”

Zhou Leng thought that Chang Luan's family was quite powerful. East China University of Warsaw was ranked higher than Ruda University, so he could actually transfer to a better school.

Chang Luan, who was not far away, lowered his head slightly, thinking to himself that it was true that one could only judge a person by his appearance. After Zhou Leng had done something shady and driven the man away, he was still able to pretend as if nothing had happened. He was really good at pretending.
