Starting as an infant, with parents who are blond-haired delinquents?

This time, Zhang Chaoqiang's martial arts level assessment and certification went very smoothly. When he successfully performed the first-level martial arts technique, the spiritual power measuring instrument assessed his spiritual power intensity at 513P.

Zhang Chaoqiang glanced at the intensity value on the void barrier and realized that the limitation on spiritual power was due to his body, not because his cultivation was too slow.

We haven't forgotten that practical combat in slaying monsters can also improve physical stats, but we can't rush things, as these courses will begin gradually in the second week.

Zhang Chaoqiang was still considering how to start the conversation with Director Zhong, but the director was much more approachable than he had imagined.

"Is Zhang Chaoqiang usually tired from studying? How's things at home lately?"

"Looking at the address in your information, you still live in the Chiting District. Why haven't you moved to the Yushui Mansion that Yuhua assigned to you?"

“My parents’ tattoo shop is near our home, and we’re used to living there, so we don’t want to move away.”

It was like a question-and-answer game. After answering several stiff questions from the bureau chief, Zhang Chaoqiang seized on the child's innocence and began to ask questions out of curiosity.

Chapter 75 Before Me (Please continue reading)

"Uncle Director, is it possible that monsters might suddenly appear in the city?"

Director: "No, society is stable and peaceful now. The monsters are all under the unified control of their territories and various unusual spatial realms..."

"Could it be that some demonic beasts are secretly hiding on people's bodies? Would the administrators of the Extraordinary Affairs Bureau be able to detect that?"

Ultimately, he's still just a child. Director Zhong wasn't surprised by Zhang Chaoqiang's innocent questions and patiently explained them in detail:

“Zhang Chaoqiang, that’s a good question. Such examples do happen. There have been instances where student martial artists who entered secret realms were burrowed into and hidden inside the bodies of a small demonic beast called the Poisonous Hidden Ant, which then carried them out of the secret realms.”

However, the moment he emerged, he was detected by numerous high-ranking martial arts administrators of our bureau. Under the bureau's surveillance, no demonic beast could hide from us!

before…

Zhang Chaoqiang has gotten the answer he wanted.

They were still having an awkward conversation when Jin Jia couldn't stand it anymore, so he went to the restroom.

Jin Jia's condition was a bit strange. Taking advantage of this moment, Zhang Chaoqiang handed the picture to Director Zhong.

After some questioning, the other party had no recollection of it, and even their level of monster records did not include it.

Zhang Chaoqiang was somewhat bewildered.

When Jin Jia returned, it was already afternoon, less than half an hour before class.

"Zhang Chaoqiang, once you register your iris here and sign your name, you will have completely completed the martial arts level certification."

"And Xiao Jin, since Zhang Chaoqiang is under 15 years old and his parents are not here today, as his homeroom teacher, you can sign on his behalf as his guardian. After that, he can officially receive his martial arts certificate."

"Uncle Director."

After Director Zhong carefully explained the process to him, Zhang Chaoqiang suddenly blurted out something.

"Uncle Director, I'll have my parents come over another day to sign for the martial arts certificate and then pick it up in person. I want them to be happy too."

"Good boy."

Director Zhong stroked Zhang Chaoqiang's smooth short hair for a while, and then the golden-armored man led Zhang Chaoqiang away from the so-called Extraordinary Administration Bureau.

Looking back one more time, it still feels like an arcade located in a village.

Moreover, this management bureau is only about three or four villages away from Zhang Huolong's hometown.

On the way back, Zhang Chaoqiang marveled at how well the Central Kingdom had managed to separate and regulate the lives of extraordinary martial artists and ordinary people.

While pondering whether the Extraordinary Management Bureau could discover any clues about his father, Zhang Huolong, he wondered.

...

Zhang Chaoqiang's deskmate is still Tan Yue, and he has not forgotten to exchange his insights on the cultivation of "Qi Jue" with Tan Yue these days.

As one of only two students receiving special treatment, they naturally also have the right to choose a martial arts technique to practice.

She chose a palm technique called Water Cloud Palm, which is characterized by its gentleness and dexterity.

"Zhang Chaoqiang, have you completed your martial arts certification?"

"Successfully completed. I am now considered a first-level martial artist. As for the martial artist certificate, I need my parents' signature as guardians before I can officially receive it."

"You are so awesome!"

"Yes, I feel that your Qi Technique is almost complete. Keep it up, these next few days are crucial."

...

In the evening, Zhang Chaoqiang did not go home immediately, but instead went to Weilong Tattoo Shop to see if his parents were there.

Weilong Tattoo Shop does not serve idle people, minors, or those who get facial tattoos, so the few customers left in the shop are busy with work during the day.

I can only come over after get off work, so the tattoo shop hasn't had much work these past few days, but the timing is a bit tricky.

As you approach, guests emerge from inside, and the lights in the inner room dim with a click.

"I'm leaving now, Sister Rose!"

The kind-looking uncle, who looked to be in his forties, had a circle of plastic wrap wrapped around his arm—the design that Shen Qiangwei had just tattooed on him.

"Okay, take care."

Zhang Chaoqiang was surprised.

Shen Qiangwei actually learned a foreign language.

Interest is the best teacher. Recently, English tattoos have become quite popular. If you don't know anything about them, you won't be able to keep up with the times and make a living from it.

"Super Strong? You're back? Let's just grab something to eat tonight, your dad's busy."

"Got busy?"

Only after being asked did Shen Qiangwei tell him.

At noon today, the factory manager of the factory where Zhang Huolong used to work came to see him in a hurry, claiming that recently, the factory, especially the two production lines he used to manage, had a particularly high rate of defective products.

The quality has dropped significantly.

Furthermore, production efficiency has been greatly reduced, and the employees on the production line seem to be more clumsy than usual.

So he asked Zhang Huolong to go back and check on the situation, and to help with quality control as well.

It was around nine o'clock at night when Zhang Chaoqiang was getting ready to wash up and go to bed when Zhang Huolong dragged his tired body back.

Zhang Chaoqiang stopped his movement to return to his room.

As soon as he got back, he took off his shoes and lay down on the sofa. Zhang Chaoqiang poured him a drink, while Shen Qiangwei massaged him.

Once he had caught his breath, Zhang Huolong began to recount the story:

"I don't know what's wrong with these guys, they're in such bad shape that a whole batch of molds are scrapped, and the factory has lost a lot of money."

These guys were always prone to making mistakes, and when I was around, I could help them out to some extent. But I heard that since I left, they've been in a really bad state lately, constantly making mistakes on perfectly good tasks.

The factory manager has gone mad, acting completely out of character. He even said that all the factory's losses would be borne by my former coworkers. Today, they caused a huge scene, and many resigned on the spot. The factory was already short-staffed, and now the manager's actions have directly caused many orders to be put on hold.

Zhang Huolong scratched his head, then sighed. The factory manager was shrewd enough not to have driven all the workers away at this crucial moment.

Angry Gaze +1

Zhang Chaoqiang sensed that this was also a change in the details of life.

He cooked a nice late-night snack for Zhang Huolong. Good food can soothe the soul, and Zhang Huolong's mood returned to normal after enjoying it.

After Zhang Chaoqiang closed the doors and windows and officially announced to them that he had become a first-level martial artist, he quickly covered Zhang Huolong and Shen Qiangwei's mouths.

"Whoosh..." Their eyes widened in extreme excitement, which made Zhang Chaoqiang try even harder to stop the two from doing something strange that was about to happen.

"Mom and Dad, don't disturb other people's rest!"

After letting go, Zhang Huolong and Shen Qiangwei excitedly and silently jumped onto the sofa, using both hands and feet.

Zhang Chaoqiang couldn't bear to watch, and these were his last words upon returning to his room.

"Mom and Dad, remember to go to the Extraordinary Management Bureau tomorrow to sign for my martial artist certificate."

"Mom and Dad? I remember!"

After giving them repeated instructions, Zhang Chaoqiang set several alarms for the two of them and planned to make a few more phone calls for them tomorrow when he had some free time…

Chapter 76 Customers

Shen Qiangwei and Zhang Huolong successfully brought back Zhang Chaoqiang's martial arts certificate by going to the Extraordinary Management Bureau, and nothing happened along the way.

The two examined the identification document, which represented their martial arts identity, with great curiosity.

Zhang Chaoqiang didn't know whether to feel fortunate or worried.

In the second week of the new students' enrollment, the course gradually transitioned from basic theory to practical training.

It covers both practical training courses for martial artists and courses for armor operators.

Although Yuhua Martial Arts School does not have a "top class" in its junior and senior high school sections.

However, according to Zhang Chaoqiang's observation, only a few students were able to enter Class One.

All of them possessed considerable martial arts talent or a high level of spiritual cultivation. The training in operating the armor was also extremely important; lower-level martial artists tended towards close combat, and their ranged attacks could only be carried out through armor or firearms.

This Monday, the monster class went from introducing monsters to practical application.

On the first basement floor of the training building, Zhang Chaoqiang, under the guidance of his teacher Wu Ke, witnessed a more rigorous and complex equipment system than the simulated combat devices he had previously used in the primary school.

Aside from myself, it seemed like no one else was surprised.

Wu Ke, with his hands behind his back and exuding an authoritative air, introduced himself to the students.

"The Real Monster Simulation System simulates the most realistic state of monsters and can completely replicate the personality traits of various monsters, such as greed and cunning."

It perfectly recreates the intelligence of the monsters themselves. In fact, in the simulator, they can do nothing but harm your real body.

Otherwise, they are basically no different from real demonic beasts.

As Wu Ke was speaking, Zhang Chaoqiang carefully examined the azure cube in front of him, a device capable of simulating monsters below the third rank.

It can serve as a practical training exercise for students without posing any real danger to their lives.

The school's education must be rigorous. Only after ensuring that each student has the ability to protect themselves and has practical experience will they be considered for deployment to the battlefield or secret realm for real combat.

The first simulated monster battle in high school was mainly to test the students' combat abilities.
