Zerg Lord of the Devouring Stars

Yang Wu took a deep breath and stepped forward.

He was also a little nervous. Usually, he would get stuck on the speed test. This was his first time testing his nerve reaction at the quasi-martial artist assessment site.

"come on."

"Keep it up, Yang Ge!"

Jiang Chen and the other person cheered and encouraged Yang Wu.

"Don't worry, just watch my performance," Yang Wu said with a smile. In fact, he was already very nervous. This was the closest he had ever come to becoming a near-martial artist.

As Chief Instructor Wu Tong turned on the testing machine and pressed the switch, the machine immediately began to spin rapidly, and rubber bullets were fired from the machine's cannon, rushing towards Yang Wu.

Yang Wu moved at a steady pace, dodging the rubber bullets one by one. His dodging range was much smaller than Jiang Chen's, and he dodged within the smallest possible area.

Jiang Chen clearly saw that some rubber bullets seemed to be glued to Yang Wu's body as they flew out, missing him by only a hair's breadth.

"This is the movement technique at the microscopic level. It is indeed amazing. At such close range, dodging attacks is like dancing on the tip of a knife."

Jiang Chen observed carefully, learning this subtle-level movement technique, and clearly perceived its advantages and disadvantages in his mind.

"Moreover, Yang Wu clearly did not master this method and was hit by bullets several times. If these bullets were the monster's minions, they could easily tear his body apart and rip him to pieces."

Jiang Chen frowned, carefully observing Yang Wu's performance. This kind of entry-level movement technique must be mastered before it can be used; otherwise, it's no better than ordinary dodging methods.

If one is not careful and is not proficient in the microscopic movement technique, one could easily tear the monster apart in a battle.

"Whoosh..." A minute passed quickly, and the machine stopped rotating.

"60 seconds, hit 52 times, did not touch the red light, passed," announced Chief Instructor Wu Tong.

"Good!" Yang Wu roared, swinging his fist wildly, his face beaming with uncontainable joy.

He had waited for this day for far too long, and today he finally succeeded in breaking through.

"Yang Wu," Chief Instructor Wu Tong said with a serious expression, "your dodging method belongs to the microscopic level of movement technique. It allows you to dodge attacks with minimal effort, so its efficiency is naturally very high."

"However, your unskilled microscopic movement technique is not as good as ordinary dodging methods. The slightest difference is enough for the monster to tear your body apart."

"Yes, Chief Instructor." Yang Wu was startled and immediately nodded solemnly.

The instructor Jiang Nian, who was standing nearby, also advised Yang Wu that if he had not fully mastered this method, he should use the ordinary evasion method and not lose his life because of a mistake.

Seeing how serious the two instructors were, Yang Wu quickly nodded in agreement. He was also sweating profusely when he thought about how he would be killed by the monster before he could escape.

Head Instructor Wu Tong announced with a smile, "Alright. Four people have passed the preliminary martial arts assessment. They are Jiang Chen, Yang Wu, Bai Yang, and Luo Feng."

"I'll leave the rest to you," Chief Instructor Wu Tong said with a smile. "Captain, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. Let's go."

"team leader?"

Jiang Chen and the others turned their heads curiously, wanting to see what kind of person Chief Instructor Wu Tong's captain was.

The head instructor, a silver-haired and black-haired man, glanced at Jiang Chen and his group. Jiang Chen and his group were immediately jolted, their vision went black, and they fell into a daze.

Jiang Chen immediately snapped out of his daze, followed by Luo Feng, who possessed strong mental power. At this time, the others still had blank stares and took a long time to react.

Jiang Chen felt that the silver-haired, black-robed man's eyes were as bright as a galaxy, but Jiang Chen knew it was just his imagination. This man was a mentalist, and his mental power was quite strong, which was affecting them.

Jiang Chen hadn't expected that his mental strength was so powerful, even surpassing Luo Feng's. It seemed to be related to his fainting spell last time.

However, Jiang Chen's memory of fainting last time was vague. If he fainted again, he should be able to see it clearly.

The silver-haired man in black robes glanced at Jiang Chen and Luo Feng in surprise and praised, "Not bad, their talent is commendable."

Head instructor Wu Tong nodded, "Yes, both of them are quite talented."

Then, Chief Instructor Wu Tong and the silver-haired man in black robes walked out of the room.

"What happened to me just now? I was completely stunned."

"It's terrifying. Just one look at me and I'm like this."

"If they attack now, won't we be completely defenseless?"

Luo Feng and his two companions were stunned, breaking out in a cold sweat. What had just happened was a huge blow to them, who had just passed the preliminary martial artist assessment, and it calmed them down.

Instructor Jiang Nian looked at them and laughed, "Alright, you four, come to the training hall."

As Jiang Chen and his group entered the training hall, a plump old man approached them. He produced four contracts, explaining, "These are the contracts for the prospective martial artist assessment. They detail matters related to the martial artist's practical combat assessment."

"We at Extreme Martial Arts Academy will not be held responsible for any deaths or injuries among our martial arts practitioners during combat assessments."

Instructor Jiang Nian nodded. "Yes, the mortality rate in martial arts combat assessments is not high, but the injury rate is not low."

Jiang Chen and his group took the contract and looked at it carefully. It contained some simple disclaimers, mainly stating that their Extreme Martial Arts Academy would not be responsible for deaths or injuries during the martial arts combat assessment.

The aspiring martial artists here spend their entire lives striving to become martial artists, and they are about to become martial artists, so why would they be scared away at this moment?

Jiang Chen quickly wrote his name down, and the others did the same.

"Okay." Instructor Jiang Nian nodded with a smile. "It's July 1st now, and there's still a month until the assessment on August 1st. Everyone, don't slack off during this time, and work hard to prepare."

"Oh, and this too..."

Jiang Nian turned on the projector, and an article appeared on the snow-white wall, titled "Gene Primal Energy Cultivation Method".

Jiang Chen held his breath and focused intently on reading the article. Only by practicing this cultivation method could he actively absorb the energy of the universe.

"If only I had a Wood Crystal right now, I could quickly reach the Planetary level," Jiang Chen thought to himself, his eyes still fixed on the cultivation manual.

Instructor Jiang Nian pointed to the cultivation method above, "This is a gene energy cultivation method, the Five Hearts Facing Heaven Method, which is the only method on Earth for cultivating gene energy."

"By cultivating genetic energy and absorbing energy from the universe, your skin, bones, blood, and so on will evolve. This is why some martial artists have skin that is harder than diamond and can move faster than the speed of sound."

However, ordinary people cannot cultivate this method. Only those who have reached the standard of a quasi-martial artist can cultivate this gene energy cultivation method and actively absorb energy.

"You can start practicing this month," Instructor Jiang Nian said with a smile. "As for the precious guiding techniques, you'll need to join the martial arts school and earn contributions to obtain them."

"Guiding techniques are amazing. They allow you to cultivate for longer periods, absorb more energy faster, and your cells will receive more units of cosmic energy, naturally leading to faster progress."

"Our Ultimate Martial Arts Academy's master, Hong, is the world's strongest man, and he created nine sets of top-notch guiding techniques."

"Yes, join our Extreme Martial Arts Gym!"

Several martial artists nearby also extended olive branches, wanting these aspiring martial artists to join the Extreme Martial Arts Academy family.

Jiang Chen had already decided that if he was going to join, he would join the strongest one, so that he could obtain more resources and make faster progress.

The Ultimate Martial Arts Academy is currently the strongest force in the world, and I will definitely join it so that I can reach the planetary level faster.
