High Martial Arts Races: I Ascend to the Future in a Simulation

"Follow me." Yang Jingwen seemed to have gained a layer of tiger-like might buff, and Xu Fei followed closely behind.

"Xu Fei, you may not know what the talent you've displayed represents."

On the way, Yang Jingwen solemnly said, "Being talented in the martial arts world is one in a million. If they don't die prematurely due to unforeseen circumstances, they're guaranteed at least the third realm!"

She, Yang Jingwen, an outstanding graduate of a prestigious martial arts university, is now 26 years old and is only a martial artist at the second level, stage one.

The principal of No. 3 Middle School is a martial arts master at the peak, that is, tenth dan.

The garrison commander of this city is a martial artist of the third realm!

In the entire city of Licheng, there are no more than ten officially recognized martial artists at the third realm!

Before reaching the fourth realm of martial arts, the lifespan of humans increases very little. At most, they can only live to around 150 years old, and they will begin to age at 80. After 100 years old, it is impossible for a third realm martial artist to continue to break through.

Warriors in the third realm are also known as generals. They can become commanders in the battlefields of the heavens outside the Heavenly Gate, commanding at least a thousand, or even a hundred thousand, soldiers!

The two walked to the martial arts testing room of No. 3 Middle School. Apart from a dozen or so formal martial artists in the school, it is usually only open to ordinary students once every two months or so.

Several school leaders were already waiting. Xu Fei searched his memory and recognized one of the deans and another familiar bald man... who was the principal!

Yang Jingwen poked Xu Fei.

Xu Fei bowed slightly: "Hello, teachers."

When you don't know what to call someone, just call them "teacher," since you're at school and they're still a student.

"Haha, what a polite child."

The school leaders all had smiles on their faces. Although none of them were below the second level and they were all martial arts masters who could easily defeat Xu Fei, their age was a factor.

When they were Xu Fei's age, they were basically just becoming formal martial artists, some even only at the tenth level of martial arts.

After all, Licheng is a small place, while Shenhua is too vast, covering tens of millions of kilometers. People with better martial arts aptitude have better places to go, and geniuses are constantly flowing towards Tianmen or areas with a stronger martial arts atmosphere.

Even a 26-year-old martial arts instructor like Yang Jingwen can be called a "martial arts returnee," not to mention the school leaders present, many of whom were eliminated and assigned to Licheng.

It's unlikely they'll ever have a chance to leave Licheng in this lifetime, and Xu Fei is one of their hopes!

"Let's start with some basic tests."

A Mediterranean man stepped aside, behind him was a testing device resembling a massage chair.

Xu Fei lay down, feeling pressure coming from all directions, just like having his blood pressure checked in his past life.

5...10...15

The data displayed on the screen next to the instrument kept increasing. Although this instrument is not high-end, it can be accurate to two decimal places in physical fitness tests below 100.

The test mainly examines 27 common standards, such as physical strength, to determine the overall physical fitness score.

After fluctuating between 32.89 and 33.13 for half a day, the final displayed constitution value was 33.02.

Xu Fei felt that his physical condition should actually be a whole number of 33.000, but the instrument couldn't calculate certain subtle standards, which ultimately led to a certain deviation.

Or perhaps the instrument is old and in disrepair, causing some deviation in the measurement.

Anyway, he never suspected that the simulator system had any error in adding points, because his constitution was 16.47 last month. If the system dynamically added points instead of adding them to the next integer, his constitution would not be so close to the whole number.

You can't possibly doubt the system. How could a proper system make a mistake when adding data? It's not inferior to your crappy machine that cost less than ten million to build.

This isn't some novel where the system spontaneously forms a society, requires exams and training, and can be rated as an F-level system if it fails...

After the physical fitness test, the next step was the blood and qi test to determine whether Xu Fei awakened his talent before breaking through to the Martial Soldier level, or whether he was forcibly boosted to the Martial Soldier level by someone using medicine before awakening it.

After all, the latter method requires relatively fewer resources, while the former method is quite expensive. Some small schools may not even be able to afford the cost of cultivating advanced talents in martial arts students throughout the entire year.

Therefore, it is necessary to use a device to check whether a faint blood breath has been generated in his body.

The answer is, of course, none.

After completing the first two steps, the smiles on the faces of many school leaders became even brighter. The next step was the final one.

They extracted three drops of blood from Xu Fei, one drop from his fingertip, one drop from his calf, and one drop from his lower abdomen, and then stored them in a special test tube.

This test tube will be transported to a nearby major city, where more advanced equipment will be used to test whether Xu Fei's body contains any specific drug components.

If there are any components involved, it means that he did not awaken naturally, so the question arises as to where the material that awakened his talent came from.

In this situation, a simple "I found it on the ground" or "The mysterious old man gave it to me" won't get you away with it.

The results of the third step of the test won't be available for ten days to half a month, but everyone is now relieved and doesn't think that the last step will reveal any problems.

The alien cult isn't stupid. Unless they come up with some kind of technological innovation, they wouldn't make it so obvious even if they had excellent spies. I'm betting they won't conduct any tests.

Xu Fei is highly unlikely to have any problems. The three checks are more of a routine test, plus the collection of basic data on the emerging genius.

After the test, he also signed a confidentiality agreement, promising not to expose the testing process.

Several people accompanied Xu Fei back to his class, and the whole way was filled with laughter and a very harmonious atmosphere.

After escorting him all the way to the classroom door, Xu Fei suddenly remembered something and hurriedly asked, "Um, teachers, I heard that outstanding students like me, cough cough cough, receive increased subsidies, and cough cough cough..."

The vice principal gave him a knowing look and waved his hand dismissively.

"It's already being processed. The martial arts association staff will come over later to do a simple registration for you. If all goes well, starting tomorrow, your various subsidies will begin, and you'll be groomed as a promising talent for martial arts universities!"

"Unfortunately, it's a bit too late. The Advanced Martial Arts Assessment is in a month. For now, we can only improve your benefits in several areas: nutritional supplements, breakthrough-guiding medicine, and the supply of Yuan Crystals after your breakthrough... Your most important task now is to quickly break through to the Martial Weapon level and try to develop a second talent!"

Yuan Crystals are a suitable resource for second-realm martial artists, but since their value is not extremely high, they are often used to cultivate first-realm martial artists to appropriately accelerate their cultivation progress.

"What about the Yuan Crystals? How many are there?" This was the question Xu Fei was most concerned about.

"The absorption capacity of martial weapons is limited. Even if you break through tomorrow, you won't be able to absorb much... Two should be enough to support your consumption for the next month."
