After all, the guy was still a second-grade martial artist. If he were to say that he was only worth 5 strengthening points, it would be too degrading.
Andrew turned his head and looked at the other universities’ recruitment teachers. In his heart, he thought. Since the strengthening points are too low, I can only rely on numbers to pile up!
He snorted coldly and said, “What are you looking at? Never seen a superhero before?
“Oh right, you guys are sneakily walking together. Are you trying to do something bad? If I see you, don’t even think about running away.”
“Who are you?” the teacher from Washi University frowned and asked in a stern voice.
However, Andrew did not answer. He clenched his fist, jumped up, and rushed towards them.
Bang!
Strengthening points +5!
PA!
Strengthening points +5!
Strengthening points +5!
In just a short dozen seconds, the system notification rang three times in succession.
Glancing at the four university recruitment teachers, including Reagan, Andrew vaguely felt that something was not right.
“I’m only at Qi-refining second-grade. How can I fight so many second-grade fighters?
“Something must be wrong here!
“Moreover, I didn’t even use the Nine-layered Thunder Blade. These second-grade martial artists are no different from ordinary people in my eyes.”
That Teacher Will, who was vomiting blood, could at least exchange palm strikes with him.
But these few…
Almost had no room to fight back.
“Could it be… they are fakes?”
In Andrew’s heart, this thought was taking deeper roots.
Impersonating a university recruitment teacher, going to various schools to find talented students, and then… ? Selling these students through some shady channels?
In his memory, there were some extreme warriors in this world who wanted to subvert the human regime.
If these students were sold to such an organization, brainwashed, and went astray, it would be hard to imagine the consequences!

Thinking of this, Andrew quickly took out his cell phone from his pocket and dialed Annie’s number. He asked at an extremely fast speed, “Sis, where are you?”
“Almost at the school gate?”
“Okay, hurry up!”
“What’s the matter? Something wrong?”
“I finally understand. The recruitment teachers of these universities are all fake. I suspect that the real teachers have already been killed. They have taken over the identity of these recruitment teachers and are preparing to sell students!”
These human traffickers were the most detestable!
Thinking of this, Andrew gave Reagan another fierce kick.
Reagan, who had just fainted, let out a painful cry and woke up.
Clang!
At this moment, a muffled sound came from behind him.
The knife case in Annie’s hand fell to the ground. She widened her eyes and looked at her brother. She cried out, “Andrew, you actually… fought at the school gate?”
Andrew touched his hood and was very touched. These human traffickers did not recognize him. But as expected of his close sister!
“Sister!
“I’m wearing a hood, and you still recognize me?”
A hood?
Even with a blanket, she could recognize her unlucky brother.
Annie’s face was full of anger. She went forward and directly tore off Andrew’s hood. She then started scolding him, “Andrew, you’re disobeying me again, right?
“Yesterday, you just said that you wanted to go to school properly and enter a university. Today, you ran to the school gate to fight?”
Wait…
Fight?
Annie suddenly reacted.
The Qi and blood of these people on the ground were not weak. In fact, they were not much weaker than her. From this, it could be deduced that they were at least second-rank fighters!
And Andrew, one person, defeated four second-rank fighters?
How could such a thing be possible!
Others might not know, but how could she not? Her younger brother’s physique had been weak since he was young. Coupled with the fact that he did not have any martial arts talent, he did not even have a way to strengthen his blood and Qi.
Not to mention four rank-two martial artists, even a random thug on the street could easily ravage Andrew.
However, the injuries of the four martial artists lying on the ground did not seem to be faked.
The blood and Qi in their bodies were churning, and they were not as stable as usual. One glance and one could tell that they were seriously injured.
“Sister, the university entrance exam is a small matter. These human traffickers are a big matter, though. I think we should immediately call the police and let them investigate thoroughly. Let’s see how many students they have deceived!”
Human Traffickers?
Teacher Reagan, who had just woken up, almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
He used his hand to cover his right eye, which was in excruciating pain, and sucked in a breath of cold air as he said, “Are you out of your mind?!
“I’m a recruitment teacher at Okun University, not a human trafficker. I know the principal of your school and the head of the Education Bureau!”
Andrew still did not believe him. Just as he was about to kick him, he was stopped by Annie.
“Reagan?”
Annie only noticed Reagan when he spoke.
When she was promoted to a fighter at the entrance exam, many university recruitment teachers had offered her an olive branch. One of them was Okun University. At that time, this Reagan was the one who talked to her.
Annie’s expression changed. She pointed at the other people who had fallen to the ground and asked, “Are these people the same as Reagan? Are they all university recruitment teachers for the martial arts department?”
Reagan nodded.
It was one thing for Teacher Will to be beaten up by a high school student, but now, they, the recruitment teachers, had received the same treatment.
This was a joke!
How could their university still recruit people in the future!
Beside them, Andrew widened his eyes and looked at the few who had fallen to the ground in disbelief. “How is this possible? Are they really the recruitment teachers?
“Could it be that there’s something wrong with my judgment?”
Then, he muttered, “That’s not right. They’re too weak.”
When the few teachers heard these words, they wished they could find a hole to hide in.
They had already been beaten up, yet they still had to be ridiculed like this.
It was fine to be ridiculed.
But the one ridiculing them was actually a high school student!
At this moment, the entourage from the Education Bureau also slowly walked out from the school gate.
Behind them was the principal of the high school, George.
When the group saw this scene, their jaws almost fell off.
They had only lagged behind a few minutes; how did these recruitment teachers end up lying on the ground?
Could it be that they had met some terrorists?
Even if they were terrorists, they couldn’t get rid of four second-grade fighters so quickly!
The only possibility was that they had met an extremist organization.
George could not help but step forward to help one of the recruitment teachers up. He asked, “Teacher Reagan, what are you doing?”
As he said this, he glanced at Andrew and Annie. He knew these two siblings.
Leaving Andrew aside, he had personally presented Annie with an award. She was specially recruited by Boston University, and there was still a picture of Annie on the Wall of Hon
or of No. 3 High School.
“Principal George.”
Annie greeted Principal George, then apologized to Reagan and the other four teachers, “I’m sorry, Teachers. Andrew didn’t know the severity of his actions and accidentally hurt a few teachers. Annie apologizes to all the teachers on his behalf.
“I hope that the teachers will give him a chance to complete the entrance exam.”
The few teachers slowly stood up with the help of others.
They were actually fine. Compared to Will, they only had superficial injuries.
After a day or two of rest, their injuries would be healed.
It was just that… they couldn’t save their reputations.
However, when they thought of Will from the New York State University branch, the shame in their hearts was diluted a lot.
Chapter 11

Professor Reagan, who had worked as a recruitment teacher for several years, suddenly had an idea.
“Miss Annie, I personally admire Andrew. How could I hold a grudge against him? This matter ends here. We will never hold Andrew responsible.”
After saying that, he stretched out his right hand and held Andrew tightly.
“Andrew, let me introduce myself again. I am the recruitment teacher of Okun University, Reagan Wilson.
“Although our university is not comparable to a famous university like Boston… as long as you are willing to join us, we are willing to give you three million US dollars, an inner core that is very beneficial to martial artists, and a set of C-grade composite metal equipment as a reward.”
The recruitment teacher of Washi University was still bleeding from his nose.
When he heard what Reagan said, he immediately jumped in. “Student Andrew, our Washi University’s ranking is not only higher than Okun University, but as long as you join us, we are also willing to give you five million US dollars, as well as the same inner core and composite metal equipment!”
The other two universities’ recruitment teachers glanced at each other and did not dare to say anything.
These two old guys.
Their higher-ups hadn’t even opened their mouths, yet they had already offered such a generous reward.
They couldn’t jump the gun either.
It wasn’t because they looked down on Andrew, but because this kind of thing had to be discussed with the university leaders. Besides, they might not even be able to compete with the other universities.
When the people from the Education Bureau heard these words, they were shocked!
Five million dollars?
This was a massive sum of money, enough to buy at least five decent houses in Massachusetts.
As for the inner core, it was used to temper a warrior’s body. It was very useful to warriors.
And a whole set of C-grade composite metal equipment was worth more than a million dollars.
The people from the Education Bureau turned to look at Principal George and smiled coldly. They did not say anything, though, and turned around to leave.
Principal George didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He looked at Andrew and said, “Andrew, although our school doesn’t have as many resources as these universities, as the most outstanding student of the Martial Arts Training High School No. 3, we will not be stingy. If you want anything, just say the word.”
Andrew directly rejected the invitations from Okun University and Washi University.
He was probably the only person in the world who cultivated immortality. If he joined these ordinary universities, it wouldn’t be befitting his status.
Since he wanted to go to a university, he had to go to one of the bests, if not the best.
He looked at President George and said in surprise, “President George, haven’t I been expelled?
“Since I’ve been expelled, it shouldn’t have anything to do with the third high school.”
George could only smile bitterly. He knew that no matter how he explained, it wouldn’t work.
However, Andrew’s strength was definitely at the third grade’s peak, or even the fourth grade.
Fourth grade marked the middle levels!
Even their teachers, who had practiced martial arts for thirty to forty years, couldn’t reach the middle levels.
In fact, practicing martial arts was more about talent.
Such a monster was originally a student of his own school. How could he let him go?
He smiled and said, “Student Andrew, I understand your feelings. The purpose of our school is not to give up or abandon any of our students. Regarding the matter of expelling you, I will seriously investigate and give you a satisfactory answer.”
As he said this, he glanced at Annie.
He hoped that Annie would remember the good things about her school life and help them persuade Andrew to stay.
Andrew couldn’t be bothered with Principal George. He turned to Annie and said, “Sister, let’s go home.”
Annie picked up the knife case and followed Andrew into a taxi.
Once they were inside, she wanted to ask Andrew some questions. However, considering that there were other people around, she held back.
It wasn’t until they returned to the apartment that Annie woke up from her trance.
She looked at Andrew carefully and could not help but ask, “Andrew, have you become a martial artist?”
“Yes?”
Andrew habitually touched the tip of his nose.
The system had awakened, and the cosmic energy had revolted.
A large amount of cosmic energy had been forced into his body, and he had completed the bone tempering stage before becoming a fighter. All the bones in his body had been refined.
No one would dare to believe such a thing.
However, he could be considered to have become a martial artist.
He nodded and did not deny it.
Annie pounced over and hugged Andrew. She said excitedly, “I knew that my brother could not be a waste.”
“…”
Sniffing in Annie’s body scent, he was slightly moved. He gently patted her shoulder and said, “It’s just a martial artist. What’s there to be happy about?”
“You don’t seem to have realized it yet.”
Annie took two steps back and stared at Andrew. She said softly, “You broke the arm of the New York State University’s student recruitment teacher with one blow. I know that teacher. I had contact with him a year ago during my entrance exam.
“It’s said that he was already at the peak of the third stage back then. Now, he’s probably only one step away from becoming a fourth-stage martial artist.”
“But… I feel that he is very weak,” Andrew said calmly.
Chapter 12

Annie didn’t know how to describe her younger brother anymore.
She was only at the peak of the third stage herself.
Was this kind of strength weak in Andrew’s eyes?
In order to not let Andrew be arrogant, Annie said seriously, “Andrew, the path of martial arts is not as simple as you think. I don’t know why you suddenly have such powerful strength…
“But you must remember that this is only the beginning. Above the third stage, there are still the middle stages!
“Beyond that, there is the Grandmaster realm or even the Ultimate realm. That is the peak of human combat strength and also the core strength to protect humans against demon beasts!”
After saying that, Annie sat back on the sofa and looked at Andrew with a smile.
“Andrew, I am delighted that you can become a martial artist. But what are your plans next?”
“Plans?” Andrew Thought for a moment and said, “I want to go to the Stanford University!”
“No problem.”
Annie patted her chest. “With your strength, not to mention the Stanford University, even Harvard and Massachusetts will accept you with open ar
ms. I’ll help you contact them.”
Annie took out her cell phone and dialed a number. After chatting for a while, she said to Andrew, “Now that it’s close to the entrance exam, the admissions offices of all the universities are moving around, trying to find some good seedlings.
“I’ve already helped you contact the person-in-charge of Stanford University’s martial arts department. He’ll be here within a week. As long as you pass the exam, you can be admitted into the university ahead of time.”
Andrew heaved a sigh of relief and sat on the sofa. “Stanford is among the top five. There must be a lot of experts there.”
In his heart, he silently estimated.
If he defeated a second-grade martial artist, he would receive 5 strengthening points.
If he defeated a third-grade martial artist, he would receive 10 strengthening points…
What about a fourth-grade martial artist?
If he defeated a Grandmaster or an Ultimate powerhouse, how many strengthening points would he get?
…
After lunch.
Annie had something to attend to, so she left first.
Before leaving, though, she didn’t forget to remind him, “Andrew, I have something to attend to at school. I’ll probably be back tomorrow night. The blade is in my bedroom. You don’t have a Martial Artist Card yet, so don’t bring it on the street.”
“Martial Artist Card?”
Andrew went to the bedroom, turned on the computer, and logged into the warrior forum.
After entering a few search terms, he found a post that talked about the specific process of the martial artist assessment.
“Martial Arts Administration?”
“Qi and blood, speed, reaction, and combat skill assessment…”
Andrew fell into deep thought.
His Qi and blood, speed, and reaction were definitely not a problem.
But what was this combat skill?
He had never seen a warrior’s battle skill before, nor had he seen the few teachers using it.
“My Nine-layered Thunder Blade is considered a relatively low-level immortal cultivation technique. If I disguise it, it should be able to be used as a battle skill to fool them.”
