Chapter 35: Special Training! An Invitation from Du Bo!

The two of them arrived at the other side of the stadium. Du Bo turned around and looked at Lin Bei as if he was looking at a freak.

One had to know that the source of a person’s strength came from the combination of many parts of the body.

If you want to achieve extraordinary strength, you need your bones, muscles, control over your body, and the coordination of other parts of your body to a certain extent.

Therefore, a martial artist’s strength in every realm had a theoretical limit value. Under normal circumstances, it was very difficult for anyone to break through this limit.

Unless one had the martial arts talent blessed by God or a special physique that increased one’s strength.

However, Lin Bei clearly did not belong to either of them.

Because during the talent test some time ago, it did not show that he had any special martial arts talent.

Then, since these possibilities were eliminated, There was only one truth left.

Lin Bei’s realm… had really reached Level 1 Martial Master!

Sensing Du Bo’s strange gaze, Lin Bei scratched his head in embarrassment.

At this moment, Du Bo’s eyes suddenly became serious as he asked him in his unique low voice.

“Lin Bei, don’t lie to me.”

“What martial arts realm are you at now?”

Hearing this question, Lin Bei did not hesitate to give his answer.

“Level 1 Martial Master.”

In fact, the moment Du Bo discovered his results, Lin Bei had already thought of how to explain it.

If he said that he had already reached the level of a Level 5 Martial Master, it would be too terrifying.

After all, the lower one’s martial arts cultivation realm was, the slower the speed of improvement.

From a Level 1 Martial Apprentice to a Level 5 Martial Apprentice, a top genius might be able to do it in a day with the additional help of tools like Spirit Stones.

However, to advance from a Level 1 Martial Master to a Level 5 Martial Master, even under the same conditions, it would take three days.

That goes without saying if it is just ordinary people cultivating.

Therefore, Lin Bei only told Du Bo that he was a Level 1 Martial Master.

Even so, Du Bo, who was standing in front of Lin Bei, still had a shocked expression.

Although Du Bo had guessed this answer, it was a different thing hearing it come from Lin Bei’s own mouth.

After spending half a minute to calm himself down, Du Bo suddenly looked at Lin Bei like a sharp sword.

“Do you know about the special training in Sea City?”

Du Bo didn’t ask Lin Bei why he was cultivating so quickly. Everyone had their own secrets, and he knew this very well.

At the same time, this surprised Lin Bei, who had already prepared a backstory of his own. Still, he quickly answered Du Bo’s question. “I’ve heard of them. I think they gathered the top martial artists from all the universities in Sea City for special training.”

“Yes, but do you know the purpose of this special training?”

Lin Bei shook his head.

He really did not know about this. The only time he heard the word ‘special training’ was from Hai Xin.

He really did not know the purpose of the special training.

“Then let me tell you. The purpose of the special training is for the annual martial arts conference of the Great Xia Kingdom.”

“Martial arts conference ?”

Lin Bei was no stranger to these words.

Or rather, as long as it was a martial artist from Great Xia, they would be familiar with it. This was a martial arts conference organized by the Great Xia government. Representatives from the various universities would be sent out to compete.

In the end, the top three martial artists would obtain the cultivation treasures prepared by Great Xia.

“Actually, other than the individual ranking of martial artists, there’s another ranking that’s not publicized. That’s the ranking of the universities.”

“To be more precise, it should be the ranking of the regional universities. In other words, the average ranking of the contestants from each region participating in this martial arts conference is used to calculate the ranking of each region in Great Xia.”

“The higher the ranking of the universities, the more resources they will receive.”

“Unfortunately, Sea City has been in the last three for three consecutive years. Therefore, since last year, the higher-ups of Sea City have decided to hold special training to nurture the top talents in Sea City.”

“There, you will receive more professional guidance and better cultivation resources.’ Hearing this, Lin Bei roughly understood what Du Bo meant.

However, he did not expect Sea City to be so miserable. For three consecutive years, they were in the placed third from last.

Although he knew that Sea City was not considered one of the top cities in Great Xia, However, he did not expect to be last for three consecutive years.

“I understand. Teacher Du, you mean…

“I want you to join the special training.”

Indeed.

It was just as Lin Bei had expected, but joining this special training would only benefit him.

He had no reason to refuse.

Hence, he nodded and agreed. “Don’t be in a hurry to refuse… Wait, you agreed?!”

“That’s right.”

Lin Bei looked at Du Bo sincerely.

This made Du Bo, who had prepared a bellyful of objection handling reasons to counter, not know whether to laugh or cry.

“That’s good. You’re a smart kid. You don’t need me to spend too much energy on you. “Alright, go take the exam first.”

With that, Du Bo turned around and ran towards the center of the venue.

Lin Bei followed behind him.

At this moment, the strength test was almost done.

As Du Bo had predicted, more than half of the class failed, and two-thirds of them were girls.

Of course, this did not mean that girls were lazier than boys in cultivation. However, in terms of strength, girls were naturally at a disadvantage. Even if they were Level 2 Martial Apprentices, it was very likely that they could not exert 600kg of strength. Therefore, the qualification value that Teacher Du Bo had set for them was 480kg.

Even so, there were still many girls who did not pass the test.

What surprised Lin Bei was that Bai Ranran had actually exerted a total of 840kg of force. This meant that she had very likely broken through to become a Level 3 Martial Apprentice.

Her results were even much better than many of the boys present.

‘Looks like the class monitor is also secretly working hard.’ Lin Bei muttered in his heart.

Then Du Bo’s voice rang in their ears again. “Alright, the strength test is over.”

“Next is the actual combat test.”

“Students, split into groups according to your will student numbers. Two people from the same group go to the dueling platform to fight.”

“I’ll watch the entire battle from the side and then give you a score. It doesn’t mean that you’ll definitely be disqualified if you lose, so you have to use your full strength in battle!”
