At this moment, Zhanbei was tidying up his belongings in the dormitory.
However, just as he was about to take a rest, the door of the dormitory was knocked on.
He opened the door and saw a senior wearing the college uniform standing outside.
"Xianbei, hello." The senior greeted with a smile. "I'm your senior. My name is Li Yan. I'm here to inform you that all new students need to take a test before officially starting their studies."
Zhanbei heard this and frowned slightly: "Test? What kind of test is this?"
Li Yan explained: "This is a test set up by the academy to assess the martial arts foundation and potential of new students. The test covers three aspects: strength measurement, illusion, and combat skills. Based on each person's performance, the academy will allocate corresponding resources."
Zhanbei nodded, expressing his understanding. He knew that as the top martial arts academy of the Shuofang Kingdom, the Shuofang Martial Arts Academy naturally conducted strict screening and training for its students.
"The test will be conducted tomorrow morning. You still have time to prepare," Li Yan reminded. "Make sure to wear the school uniform and bring the student badge. Good luck, Zhanbei."
After saying that, Li Yan left. Zhan Beiguan closed the door and returned to his room. In his heart, he was filled with anticipation and tension for the upcoming test. He knew that this would be a great opportunity for him to prove his abilities.
The next morning, Zhanbei, dressed in a neat college uniform and wearing a student badge, arrived at the testing site.
On the field, quite a few new trainees had already gathered, chatting nervously or excitedly and discussing the upcoming test.
The test officer was a middle-aged martial artist. His eyes were sharp and his voice was loud: "Dear new students, welcome to Shuo Fang Martial Arts College. I am your test officer and I will be in charge of today's test. The test will be divided into three parts. The test content includes strength measurement, illusion, and combat ability. Please proceed with the test in the order indicated."
Zhan Bei took a deep breath and adjusted his state. He knew that this was a process of resource selection. If he wanted to obtain the precious resources, he had to give his all.
The strength measurement test of Shufang Martial Arts College was conducted on an open field. There were several sturdy force-measuring devices placed here, each made of high-quality steel and appearing extremely sturdy and heavy.
At the center of the force-measuring device, there is a concave transparent crystal. This crystal is the core of the entire force-measuring device, used to sense and display the magnitude of the force.
The trainees went up one by one according to their numbers for the test. The scene was orderly. The examiner stood beside the force-measuring device. His eyes were sharp and his voice was loud. Every time he announced the result, it carried an unquestionable authority.
"Nine hundred kilograms, not up to standard! Next one!" The tester's voice echoed across the field. A trainee walked off the force-measuring device dejectedly, as his score failed to meet the college's requirements.
"Nine hundred and fifty pounds. Fail. Next one!" The score of another trainee was announced. Although his strength had improved, he still failed to meet the standard.
One after another, the trainees stepped forward. Some were able to exert astonishing strength and gain the approval of the examiners, while others had to leave disappointedly, planning to try again the following year.
Finally, it was War North's turn. He took a deep breath, adjusted his state, and then walked steadily forward, standing in front of a force-measuring device.
He examined the structure of the force-measuring device, particularly the transparent crystal at the center, and then adjusted his breathing, gradually concentrating the internal force onto his arms.
He focused his mind and remained calm, his eyes fixed intently on the crystal at the center of the force-measuring device. Then, he suddenly threw out a punch.
His movements were swift and precise. His fists sliced through the air like shooting stars, accompanied by a whistling sound, and landed heavily on the crystal of the force gauge.
"Bang!" A dull sound was heard. The force-measuring device trembled slightly, and the central crystal suddenly emitted a dazzling white light, radiating outwards like a small sun.
Immediately afterwards, the glow of the crystal began to change, gradually transitioning from white to blue, then green, and finally settling on a deep red color.
At the same time, the dial above the force gauge began to rotate rapidly and finally froze at a shocking number.
The surrounding trainees immediately burst into exclamations of astonishment. This figure far exceeded their expectations, and even approached the level of some senior trainees.
"1200斤!合格!" The tester's voice carried a hint of surprise. He looked at Zhanbei and a glimmer of admiration flashed in his eyes.
Zhanbei's performance not only exceeded the passing standard by a large margin, but also reached an excellent level.
Zhanbei clenched his fist again, feeling the slight tremor coming from his hand. He was satisfied with his performance.
Zhanbei returned to the team. His gaze was firm, and his heart was filled with anticipation for the upcoming tests.
As the force measurement test continued, the atmosphere on the scene became increasingly tense.
The announcement of each score touched the hearts of everyone present.
The qualified ones couldn't hide their excitement, their faces beaming with joy. While those who failed and didn't meet the standards, were dejected, with disappointment filling their eyes.
Zhanbei quietly observed all this. He could sense the people's longing for power and their determination to succeed.
He knew that this was not merely a contest of strength, but also a battle of willpower.
Just then, a commotion suddenly broke out in the group, catching the attention of Captain Bei.
His gaze swept through the crowd and fell upon a short-haired teenager dressed in black.
This young man is named Tie Yan. He is the younger son of the Tie family in Tianfeng City and is said to have reached the level of a second-tier warrior.
The people around began to murmur to each other. They were astonished by the appearance of Iron燕 and were also full of curiosity and anticipation about his strength.
Zhanbei was no exception either. He wanted to witness with his own eyes what kind of power a second-level martial artist could display.
Tie Yan stood in front of the force-measuring device, his gaze firm, and an undeniable aura of power emanated from him.
He didn't hesitate for long. Taking a deep breath, he adjusted his posture and then suddenly threw out a punch.
"Bang!" There was a loud crash as Iron燕's fist firmly struck the crystal of the force-measuring device.
This punch was as powerful as thunder, accompanied by a deafening sound, causing a shock to those who witnessed it.
Immediately afterwards, the crystal at the center of the force-measuring device emitted a dazzling burst of intense light. The light danced and then settled down in a deep purple hue.
The dial above the force gauge spun wildly and finally froze on an astonishing number.
"Two thousand and one kilograms! Pass!" The tester's voice was tinged with excitement. He looked at the iron bird, and a hint of admiration flashed in his eyes.
The crowd around burst into a chorus of exclamations. They were deeply impressed by the power demonstrated by the Iron Swallow.
This score not only exceeded the passing standard by a large margin, but also reached a level that is truly admirable.
Zhanbei's eyes also showed a hint of surprise. He never expected that the fist power of the second-tier warrior would be so strong.
Tie Yan withdrew his fist. There wasn't much expression on his face, as if this was just an ordinary outcome.
He turned around and left the force-measuring device, then returned to the group.
Zhan Bei took a deep breath, adjusted his state, and prepared to face the upcoming challenges.
