I’m Cultivating Immortality While Everyone Else Practices Martial Arts c1-229

  He found the B-grade metal battle blade and brought it out of the apartment. Andrew then stopped a taxi and sat inside. “Master, go to the Martial Arts Administration Bureau.”

  Since he couldn’t bring a weapon on the streets without a license, then he would take a test.

  …

  At the same time, a video was going viral on the Internet.

  Someone had taken a video of Andrew slapping Professor Reagan of Okun University and posted it on the Internet.

  Soon, many universities found this video.

  “Interesting.”

  In the Martial Arts Department of Washington University, a middle-aged martial artist finished watching the video and put his phone aside. “This kid’s explosive power is definitely not weaker than peak third stage. Moreover… he seems to have gone through the bone-quenching twice.”

  The middle-aged man picked up his phone and made a call. “Go to Boston and investigate a high school student named Andrew Doyle.”

  The other top universities also received the news.

  After the persons in charge watched the video, they all sent people to Boston, wanting to talk to Andrew.

  However, Andrew didn’t know about these things.

  At this time, he had arrived at the Boston Martial Arts Administration Bureau. He was stopped by a staff member at the front desk.

  “You want to take the Martial Artist Card test?”

  The staff member looked at Andrew with a smile.

  Although Andrew was very tall, looking at his young face, one could guess that he was not old.

  “Little brother, how old are you this year? Do you know that it is tough to pass the test? Even some prospective fighters have to work hard for one or two years to be confident.”

  Andrew nodded and answered seriously, “Of course I know.”

  “I think my Qi and blood, speed, and reaction are all fine. It’s just that my battle technique is a little weak.

  “After all, I’ve only practiced it for one night and haven’t had the chance to try it out yet.”

  The staff at the front desk was amused by Andrew’s words.

  “Little brother, the Martial Artist Card test is not a joke. Think about it again.”

  “There’s no need to think about it. I want to pass the exam today.”

  “Alright. Fill in your personal information and pay the 500 assessment fee.”

  The staff member handed over a form and added, “Whether you pass or not, we won’t refund the assessment fee.”

  “500?”

  Andrew’s face darkened.

  So expensive!

  His pocket money was only 500, and he had to spend it all in one go.

  But thinking that he would pay the fee sooner or later, he bore the pain and handed the assessment fee to the receptionist.

  “I heard that once you pass the assessment and obtain the Martial Artist Card, you can accept a mission from the Martial Arts Administration and receive a reward.

  “After the assessment is over, I’ll go and see what mission is suitable for me.”

  Andrew thought as he handed in the completed form.

  After the receptionist checked the information, he led Andrew to the second floor.

  When they reached the second floor, another employee was waiting at the stairway. He smiled and said, “Hello, Mr. Andrew. Are you starting the Martial Arts Assessment now?”

  “Yes.”

  “Well, please follow me.”

  Andrew followed behind the staff and stopped in front of the door of Assessment Room No. 2.

  As they waited for some time, the door of the exam room suddenly opened, and a scream came out from inside.

  “No!

  “Give me another chance. I made a mistake just now.

  “If I perform normally, I will definitely pass the exam!”

  A middle-aged man wearing a combat uniform with a cold expression held a gray-haired youth in one hand.

  No matter how the gray-haired youth struggled and explained, the man’s expression did not change at all.

  He directly threw the gray-haired youth out of the assessment room.

  “Your Blood Qi has barely reached the standard, and your speed is still passable, but your reaction speed is slightly below average. However, you have no grasp of battle techniques at all.

  “Familiarize yourself with your battle techniques and train properly for some time. Then come back for the assessment.”

  The gray-haired youth fiercely hammered the ground before getting to his feet.

  When he was dusting himself, he noticed that there were two people beside him.

  “What are you looking at? Brat, do you think you can pass the assessment?”

  The gray-haired youth glared at Andrew and cursed.

  Andrew shook his head. “Your viciousness is too strong. Even if you become a fighter, you will only bully the weak.”

  When the middle-aged man in the assessment room heard this, his eyes lit up.

  “You are Andrew?”

  Andrew nodded.

  “I am Edward, the staff in charge of the assessment. Come in.”

  The middle-aged man closed the door and explained to Andrew, “The Martial Arts Assessment has four requirements: Blood Qi, speed, reaction, and battle technique.

  “As for the cultivation of a martial artist, once the Blood Qi reaches 150, one can begin to refine their bones. There are 206 bones in the human body, including 29 in the skull, 51 in the torso, and 126 in limbs and legs.

  “Once the torso bones and the limb bones are all tempered, one can be considered to have entered the ranks of martial artists.

  “The minimum Blood Qi standard for a first-grade martial artist is 500.”

  The man pointed at an instrument and said, “If you use your full strength and attack the punching target three times, the testing instrument will judge your Blood Qi based on your explosive power. The highest score of the three times will be the final result.”

  Andrew walked to the Blood Qi testing instrument. This was the second time he had seen such a thing.

  There were many circuits behind the punching target, which were connected to a computer.

  In the last school martial arts assessment, he did not have time to test his own strength.

  Looking at the other students, even if they used their full strength, they would only be able to get around 100 Blood Qi points.

  “However, why do I feel that I can blow up this punching target?

  “Illusion, this must be an illusion. After people obtain great power, they will think that they are invincible in the world. Just as Sister said, the path of martial arts can not be underestimated. There are Ultimate powerhouses above the Grandmaster realm, not to mention that I am only at Qi Formation Second Grade.

  “Above the Qi Formation realm, there’s still the Spirit Refinement realm, Primordial Spirit realm, and Earth Immortal realm. After that, only when one undergoes the Thunder Tribulation can one be considered a Heaven Immortal. I must not be proud.”

  Andrew calmed his heart and circulated his Qi.

  He did not hold back at all, gathering all the Qi in his body. Andrew stepped forward with his left foot and attacked with all his strength. He threw a punch at the target.

  Bang!

  Just as he threw his punch, a muffled explosion sounded in the air.

  When his fist came into contact with the boxing target, a violent sound reverberated in the assessment room for a long time.

  Edward, who was standing behind Andrew, narrowed his eyes. He was forced to take two steps back.

  His face was full of shock!

  The target shook violently, causing the body of the machine to tremble incessantly. However, it did not explode.

  After one or two minutes, the vibrating target finally stopped.

  “I was still thinking of blowing up the target with one punch.

 
“As expected, this is all an illusion. Fortunately, I woke up in time and did not become proud.”

  Andrew steadied his posture and threw two more punches. The power was even stronger than the first punch.

  Bang!

  Crack!

  The two loud sounds were not the same.

  When the third punch hit the target, the target directly exploded.

  This???

  Andrew’s face suddenly became stiff. Looking at the exploding target, he was a little speechless.

  “That… the quality of your equipment is too poor, right?

  “Also, you asked me to use all my strength. If this thing is broken, I won’t be responsible for the compensation!”

  The assessment fee alone was 500. God knew how expensive this set of equipment would be.

  He wouldn’t ask him to use the B-grade composite metal blade as collateral, right?

  He hadn’t even had the time to use it.

  Edward didn’t hear what Andrew said at all.

  After a long while, he came back to his senses. He rubbed his eyes and looked at the computer screen connected to the Blood Qi testing machine.

  Blood Qi value: 3560, 3640, 3700!

  He turned his head and looked at Andrew with confusion.

  Chapter 14

  Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL

  With a Blood Qi value of 3600, he had reached the lowest Blood Qi standard of a third-rank fighter.

  Moreover, the Blood Qi value had touched 3700 in his last punch!

  Edward took another look at Andrew’s personal information.

  18 years old!

  How was this possible?

  Just a few minutes ago, when he first saw Andrew’s personal information, he already had a first impression.

  This Andrew was squandering money to fool around.

  Massachusetts was only this big.

  If a genius could pass the Martial Arts Assessment at the age of 18, wouldn’t the Martial Arts Administration Bureau receive any news?

  The reputation of such a genius would have spread all over the country long ago.

  Moreover, the entrance examination was about to be held.

  Those top universities would definitely send people to contact such a genius early on.

  But now, the Martial Arts Administration Bureau had not heard of any university rushing to Massachusetts for a certain person.

  Edward looked at Andrew with a strange expression.

  This person couldn’t have filled out fake information, right? What if he was already in his twenties?

  To have a 3,700 Blood Qi score in his twenties, no matter which state, he could still be considered a genius.

  But compared to being 18, it was much more normal.

  “Andrew, are you sure that the personal information you filled in is accurate?”

  “Of course. Didn’t I also enter my resident ID? How could it be fake?”Andrew frowned.

  Now, they were asking about his identity.

  Could it be that they knew he couldn’t compensate for this Blood Qi testing machine, so they were going to ask his family for money?

  “18 years old?”

  Edward still found it hard to believe, so he asked again.

  “What nonsense. Isn’t it just money? I’ll pay you.”

  “No need to pay, no need… This is just a low-grade testing machine. Besides, the Martial Arts Administration is responsible for the damage.”

  Edward explained quickly.

  A low-grade testing machine?

  Edward seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes lit up. He looked at Andrew with even more fervent eyes.

  The low-grade equipment was prepared for fighters of the third rank and below.

  If Andrew could break the low-grade test equipment, then it meant that he had at least the Blood Qi value of a fighter of the third rank.

  What if he changed it to intermediate testing equipment?

  Edward was shocked by his own thoughts.

  What was he thinking? To be able to have the strength of a fighter of the third rank at the age of 18 was already a genius among geniuses.

  Even in the entire country, only one or two freaks similar to him could be found within a hundred years.

  If it was a fourth stage martial artist or even above…

  Then he would really be the number one person in the entire country!

  “Since I don’t have to pay for it, then it’s fine. Hurry up and carry out the speed test. I still have to go home in a while,” Andrew urged the examiner.

  “This way. There’s a runway here.”

  Edward opened a secret door, which contained a glass runway.

  The runway was two hundred meters long. It extended out from this building to another building.

  “The speed test is mainly…”

  Whoosh!

  Before Edward could finish his words, he heard the whistling of the air by his ear.

  Full speed!

  By the time Edward came back to his senses, Andrew was already running back.

  On the display of the speedometer at the top of the runway, a number appeared:

  28.8 m/s!

  “28.8 m/s. The speed has also exceeded the lowest value of a third-grade fighter!”

  Edward felt as though his entire body was floating.

  He did not care that Andrew was still at the side. Edward directly took out his cell phone and dialed the number of the chief of the Martial Arts Administration Bureau. “Chief, hurry up. Come to exam room No. 2. I found a freak!”

  Huh?

  Andrew frowned.

  Damn.

  Who was he calling a freak?

  …

  In the chief’s office of the Boston Martial Arts Administration.

  Charles Nick, who was known as the number one martial artist in Massachusetts, strode out of the office. Like a gust of wind, he turned into an afterimage and arrived at the door of Exam Room No. 2 in less than a minute.

  The door of the exam room was slowly pushed open.

  Inside, a complaining voice sounded, “What about starting the reaction test? I’m very busy. I’ve already said that I’m in a rush to go home. Can you hurry up…? Right, you just called me a freak. If there’s a next time, I’ll have to get a lawyer to talk to you.”

  “Cursing you?”

  Edward was stunned.

  Calling him a freak was obviously a compliment! The other people who came here to take the test didn’t even have the right to call themselves a freak.

  If it wasn’t for your extraordinary talent, I would have told you to scram home after the test.

  At that moment, Andrew sensed a trace of danger and turned his head away. His gaze became serious.

  “Is this the strength of the Martial Arts Administration’s chief? A fighter of the seventh-grade Grandmaster realm.”

  This was the first person that Andrew met that posed a threat to him.

  Edward went up to greet him respectfully, “Chief Charles, you’re here?”

  Charles nodded and looked at Andrew. With a curious gaze, he asked, “Is he that freak you were talking about?”

  You’re the freak!

  You people from the Martial Arts Administration are all freaks!

  Andrew gritted his teeth.

  Alright, bear with it!

  With his current strength, he was not a match for a seventh-grade Grandmaster realm warrior.

  I’ll let you guys off the hook this time.

  Once I break through the Qi Formation realm and advance to the Spirit Refining realm, I’ll definitely come over and take revenge. I’ll scold all of you from the administration!

  Edward handed over Andrew’s personal information, the Blood Qi test equipment, and the speed test data.

  Charles looked down and quickly went through the information.

  Then, his face lit up.

  He laughed and said,
“Andrew, are you the one from the third high school, the student who injured several recruitment teachers yesterday?”

  Edward was shocked. Such a big thing had happened yesterday, and he actually didn’t know about it at all.

  To be able to injure a university’s recruitment teacher, his strength must be at least at the second grade.

  However, he didn’t know that not only did Andrew break a third-grade fighter’s arm with a palm strike, but he had also defeated several other university’s recruitment teachers in a one versus four fight.

  If Edward knew, he would have directly brought Andrew to the exam rooms at the back.

  Those assessment rooms were all prepared for fighters of the fourth grade and above.

  Edward cautiously glanced at Chief Charles and asked, “Chief, do we proceed with the reaction speed test now?”

  Charles Nick nodded and stood to the side.

  He had come here to take a look only. The assessment would be left to his subordinates.

  Edward adjusted the equipment and said, “Andrew, please stand over here.”

  Andrew followed the instructions and stood ten meters away from the equipment.

  “This equipment will release radiation at 360 degrees without any blind spots. The reaction test will be determined by the number of times you are hit by the radiation. The more times you are hit, the lower the test result will be.

  “The time is one minute. Get ready.”

  Andrew gestured with his hand to indicate that he was ready.

  Initially, he had come for the Martial Artist Card so that he could bring a weapon to the street… But now, he had a second target.

  As long as one was an official martial artist, one could accept the mission issued by the Martial Arts Administration Bureau and get a high reward.

  For Andrew, who didn’t have much money on him right now, this was undoubtedly a good shortcut.

  The results of the first two tests were good enough, so he was also confident about his reaction speed… What he was most worried about was his own battle technique!
