Chapter 8 - Chapter 8

On the evening of July 30th,

  Zhang Haobai was standing in front of the punching target on the rooftop.

  He took a breath and suddenly punched the punching target.

  "Bang!"

  After a loud bang, a string of numbers popped out.

  "3823kg!"

  Since passing the quasi-warrior assessment, in just one month, he has relied on the "Beast Blood Body Forging Technique", "Gene Energy Cultivation Method", and the clone's absorption of evil spirits to grow, and his punching power has increased by more than 2,700 kilograms!

  A punching power of more than 3,800 kilograms is a proper "intermediate warrior" level, and it is only a little short of the threshold of advanced warriors.

  The current public strength levels of Earth warriors are divided into "warriors, generals, gods of war, and those who surpass gods of war."

  Primary warriors: punching power 1,000-2,000 kilograms.

  Intermediate warriors: punching power 2,000-4,000 kilograms.

  Advanced warriors: punching power 4,000-8,000 kilograms.

  Primary generals: punching power 8,000-16,000 kilograms.

  ...

  Zhang Haobai's current punching power is indeed only a hair's breadth away from the minimum threshold of a high-level warrior.

  On August 1, Zhang Zelong drove Zhang Haobai to the Thunder and Lightning Hall in Yangzhou City.

  Soon, Li Meng, the chief instructor of the Thunder and Lightning Hall in Yangzhou, led the team to the station with more than 20 quasi-warriors who participated in the actual combat assessment of the Thunder and Lightning Hall.

  Nowadays, there are monsters everywhere outside the base city. Yangzhou Satellite City is connected to Jiangnan Base City by subway.

  After boarding the train, Chief Instructor Li Meng went to the other end of the carriage, and the remaining young quasi-warriors immediately became active.

  "Haobai, are you sure about this assessment? How much punching power did you increase when you used the genetic energy training method for the first time?"

  Seeing Li Meng walking away, a young man in his 20s sitting next to him immediately asked Zhang Haobai.

  "Not bad, try your best."

  Zhang Haobai smiled.

  This young man is called "Liu Mingxun", also a quasi-warrior from Yangzhou City. He met him in the Thunder and Lightning Hall during the quasi-warrior assessment on July 1.

  "You are three years younger than me. Don't try too hard during the test. Just try your best. Even if you can't pass, you will definitely pass next time." Liu Mingxun saw that Zhang Haobai had no desire to chat, so he smiled casually.

  In his opinion, Zhang Haobai was younger than him, and his performance at the moment must be very nervous.

  "Yeah. Thank you for reminding me."

  Zhang Haobai also nodded and smiled.

  At this moment, he was practicing the switching of consciousness between the original body and the clone.

  After a month of trial, he was now able to focus the main consciousness on one body while roughly letting the other body be alert to the surrounding situation.

  However, it is still a long way to go for the original body and the clone to fight together in their respective places.

  Only one body can be in control, and the other body can be roughly alert to the surrounding environment.

  ...

  "I heard that this time, there are 1,681 people participating in the Jiangnan City Quasi-Warrior Assessment!" Liu Mingxun quickly turned around and chatted with other Yangzhou City Quasi-Warriors.

  "Why so many?" Someone couldn't help asking.

  "Haha, that's not a lot. The total population of all satellite cities in Jiangnan Base City is 200 million." "

  Yes. Just talking about our Yangzhou City, it's not only our Thunder Martial Arts School that can sign up for the assessment. The Extreme Martial Arts School, the Underground Alliance, the Military... many organizations and forces will recruit and send their own prospective warriors to participate..."

  "Yeah... This combat assessment for warriors has a 60% pass rate, so the competition is very fierce!"

  "Well, not only is the pass rate low, but there are also a lot of prospective warriors who die or are injured in each battle. I heard that they are all pulled out by trucks..."

  "Yes, I've checked the information. The combat assessment will issue special watches with an emergency rescue function. However, after the emergency rescue, even if you give up, the assessment has failed. If you are really facing life and death danger, I think everyone should use the emergency rescue function immediately."

  "Haha… I advise everyone not to count on any 'emergency rescue' stuff! It takes time for the staff in charge of the assessment to arrive. If you trigger an emergency rescue, can you hold on until the rescue arrives? Once you are afraid of fighting, I'm afraid you will die immediately at the hands of the monster!"

  …

  "I heard that this time, there are two prospective warriors in our Thunder Martial Arts School who have already obtained the 'special recruitment' quota before participating in this actual combat assessment!"

  "Well, I know, it should be called 'Wan Dong', and the other one is called 'Ma Xiao.'"

  "There is also one in the Extreme Martial Arts School, called 'Luo Feng!'"     ...

  Hearing this discussion, Zhang Haobai couldn't help but feel moved.

  "It seems that the world's trajectory has returned to normal. Luo Feng not only awakened his spiritual power on his own, but also, like the normal world trajectory, was specially recruited by the Extreme Martial Arts School before the actual combat assessment... I don't know what happened in the meantime."

  However, this matter has nothing to do with him. The world's trajectory has returned to normal, which is a good thing.

  Amid the messy discussions, there were also huge LCD screens in each carriage of the train, scrolling and broadcasting the top leaders of the two major martial arts schools, underground alliances, military and other institutions and forces in Jiangnan Base City, who personally came out to recruit prospective warriors.

  Zhang Haobai knew all of this, so he basically didn't watch it. He just closed his eyes and pretended to sleep, while listening to the discussions around him and practicing the control of his clones.

  ...

  Soon, the train drove out of the base city and stopped at a huge military base.

  The carriages opened, and a large number of prospective warriors swarmed out, then walked out of the station quickly and came to the inside of the military base.

  At a glance, within the solid military facilities within sight, there are huge gun muzzles and various powerful heavy weapons pointing to the sky or outside the base.

  "Ga ga ga..."

  A large group of black strange birds flew over the sky, and a dense and strange cry came from afar.

  But they only dared to fly over the base at high altitudes, and no one dared to dive down to get close.

  Most of the would-be warriors who had never seen this situation with their own eyes were very excited, looking up at the sky or looking far outside the base, wanting to search for the monsters outside the base.

  After the catastrophe, the physical fitness of ordinary humans has more than doubled, and their eyesight is naturally excellent. For most of these would-be warriors who have practiced genetic energy, it is not difficult to see these birds flying high in the sky and monsters far away.

  In the broadcast instructions of the military base staff, the crowd followed the instructions and entered a huge square.

  This square is very close to an external military fortress. After opening a few gates, you can directly enter the outside of the base.

  The would-be warriors were even more excited, because here, they could even directly see the huge monsters, which were faintly exposed from the outside of the base fortress, and all kinds of howling were clearly audible.

  Zhang Haobai also climbed to a higher position and looked outside.

  ...

  At noon, the base prepared a sumptuous lunch for the would-be warriors who participated in the assessment.

  Zhang Haobai retracted his gaze from a distance and rushed to a meal.

  "Luo Feng, come this way!" At this moment, someone shouted from behind.

  "Uncle Wu, I'm here!" Not far ahead, a clear voice answered, and several people walked towards him quickly.

  Zhang Haobai looked up and met a young man wearing a black training suit, a short haircut, and looked very energetic.

  "Zhang Haobai."

  "Luo Feng."

  Although neither of them spoke, they recognized each other at a glance.

  Zhang Haobai paused slightly, grinned at Luo Feng, and nodded slightly.

  Luo Feng was stunned, but then nodded slightly.

  After each other's footsteps paused slightly, they passed by each other.

  ...

  At noon, Zhang Haobai had a full meal, because according to the actual combat assessment rules, the formal actual combat assessment started at 6:30 in the evening and lasted until 6:30 tomorrow morning, a full twelve hours.

  The entire afternoon, until the end of the 12-hour actual combat assessment, the prospective warriors who participated in the actual combat assessment had no food to eat.

  In the afternoon, 1,681 prospective warriors first collected weapons, equipment, and combat uniforms provided by the assessment party in various places.

  Combat vests, military trousers, alloy combat boots... These things are all equipment containing "Kro alloy". Even the lowest level is much stronger than the previous bulletproof vests and other equipment.

  In terms of weapons, Zhang Haobai chose a Kro alloy boxing glove. And a Kro alloy dagger.

  The boxing glove is lighter than other weapons, so he chose the one that the assessment party can provide, and the heaviest.

  The dagger is mainly used for assistance, and can also be used to cut off the monster's ears.

  According to the rules of the assessment, after killing the monster, the monster's left ear must be cut off and left as proof of the number of kills. Generally speaking, in each combat assessment, if you kill three H-level monsters, you can basically pass the assessment.

  H-level monsters are also called "low-level beast soldiers". Generally speaking, they correspond to the primary warrior level among human warriors.

  After a month of training, Zhang Haobai's biggest advantage is his physical strength. The dual improvement of "Beast Blood Body Forging Technique" and "Gene Energy Training Method" has made his current physique, which can be summarized in one word, "hard!"
