I'm Cultivating Immortality While Everyone Else Practices Martial Arts
Li Wensheng transmigrated to an era where all energies were returning and every citizen practiced martial arts. Here, champions focus on martial arts mastery, becoming physically peerless as they honed their spirit. They would also seek superior weapons, including unbreakable war axes, or keen blades that could cut a giant tree with a single swing. Even so, Li Wensheng learned Immortal Arts from the very start! Though his scrawny form was exceedingly inconspicuous at first, he wielded Immortal Arts to smash long blades with his bare hands and crush giant hammers! Li Wensheng was flying everywhere on his sword while others were busy trying to surpass the limits of human speed. He could kill with a leaf or flower he plucked while others requested blacksmiths to hone their weapons. He cooked medicinal pellets with his cauldron, brewing Yuan Pellets that ascend cultivation while others trained their bodies to strengthen themselves. Martial arts champions: "Why aren't you using any weapons?" Li Wensheng smiled, two of his fingers casting an immortal technique: Ten Thousand Swords Retrogression! At his words, every sword behind everyone's back took to the skies without hope of control, gathering behind Li Wensheng into a rain of swords that covered the skies! This is a world where I alone cultivate immortality while everyone else trains in martial arts!

"Andrew, you don't have any talent in this area. You're destined to be an ordinary person in this life."
"Trash. If not for having a good sister, I'm afraid you wouldn't even pass the entrance exam."
"I'm sorry, Andrew. I don't like you. Your talent is too bad. If you encounter a demon beast in the future, you'll have to let me protect you."
A stab of sharp pain woke Andrew up from his sleep. He scanned the unfamiliar environment around him, feeling at a loss.
Someone was clearly talking to him just now. Why was it so quiet all of a sudden?
And why was he sitting in a classroom?
While Andrew was feeling puzzled, countless memories flashed in his mind. In less than half a minute, he came up with an answer: He had transmigrated!
He had transmigrated to a parallel world, and the historical development trajectory was no different from that of Earth.
The only difference was that this place was full of crises!
Many prosperous cities and countries had become a wasteland under the swarms of the demonic beasts. Fortunately, humans still had some hope. They could barely maintain their current situation by practicing martial arts.
As a result, the current society prioritized strength above all!
The more powerful a warrior, the higher their status in society. Not only could they easily get a high reward, but they could also enjoy more social resources.
Andrew's eyes lit up at once. "As long as I'm strong enough, I can get everything I want..."
However, the memories in his mind were like a basin of cold water pouring on his body.
Practice martial arts?
Practice my ass!
The reason why he was ridiculed so casually by others was that this body was the famous trash of the school.
After practicing in the school for three years, he had gained nothing. Moreover, he was judged to have "no talent for cultivation" in the talent test a few days ago.
Just when Andrew was a little disappointed, a strange thought flashed in his mind.
He is him, and I am me. Maybe I can practice martial arts?
What if I am a genius in martial arts?
Andrew took out his phone from his desk and opened the browser. Now that strength was the norm, all kinds of basic martial arts could be found on the internet.
He randomly entered a few search terms and discovered a forum dedicated to martial artists. There, he stumbled upon a [Basic Genetic Energy Cultivation Method].
While silently reciting [Basic Genetic Energy Cultivation Method, Andrew posted a thread on the forum.
"May I ask if any warrior bigshot knows a cultivation method that can split a ten-thousand-mile mountain range with a sword slash."
Very soon, there were a few replies at the bottom of the post.
"You're nuts. Do you even practice martial arts? You're dreaming!"
"Is the poster trying to split the East Africa Rift Valley with one sword?"
"No, the poster wants to be Zeus, Odin, or Thor!"
"Don't laugh at the poster. He might just be a newbie. Let me explain. Martial artists are divided into nine grades. Above the ninth grade is the Ultimate realm. It is said that Ultimate Masters can split mountains and rivers with one palm. However, they are still a distance away from the level the poster mentioned."
Andrew was a little disappointed. If so, the fighters who trained in martial arts were not too abnormal. At least compared to the superheroes in the movies, they were still much weaker.
However, if they could train to the Ultimate realm, it would not be too bad.
Andrew sat cross-legged on the stool and spread his hands in front of his knees. He softly chanted the [Basic Genetic Energy Cultivation Method].
"Genetic energy training method detected. Absorbing the primordial cosmic energy to temper the body..."
"Primordial cosmic energy? Why does it feel a little unreliable?"
Just as Andrew was slightly puzzled, he felt as if there was something extra in his body.
A warm current was spreading throughout his body.
Andrew was overjoyed. At the next moment, a clear voice sounded in his mind.
"Ding!
"Congratulations Host for absorbing a wisp of the primordial cosmic energy. Activating the system.
"System loading..."
System?
Andrew was a little absent-minded. He didn't notice the teacher with the Mediterranean hairstyle walking down from the podium.
"There are only over ten days until graduation. Are you still in a daze and not training?"
The teacher pointed at Andrew, his face full of anger.
"No wonder people say that you're trash. For a person like you, I'm afraid that no university would want to recruit you. You might as well go home and sleep early!"
In the classroom, the other students turned their heads around. They all looked at Andrew in the same way.
Disgust!
The reason was simple. They had all passed the entrance exam to enter the school, but what about Andrew?
He had relied on his sister—a genius from Massachusetts—to enter through the back door!
But soon, their disgusted gazes changed. Instead, a gloating smile hung on their faces.
Trash!
No University would admit a person who could not cultivate. It did not matter how talented his sister was; no university would be willing to spend resources on trash.
"Boom!"
The originally sunny sky suddenly turned gloomy. A clap of thunder shook everyone's eardrums, and only then did everyone shift their gazes away from Andrew.
"Is it a storm?"
"Storm? A fighter must have broken through the ninth grade and became an Ultimate Master!"
There were all kinds of suspicions in the classroom.
Only Andrew felt the surrounding air and was overjoyed.
How was there a storm outside? It was clearly the primordial cosmic energy!
And this primordial cosmic energy was rapidly gathering in his direction. However, since too much energy had accumulated in one place, it caused an energy storm, which was why it had such a tremendous momentum.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
The windows directly exploded.
In the classroom, other than Andrew, the others all hid under their desks.
"Idiot! He's not even hiding."
"It's best if he's also blown away so that we won't be annoyed to see him."
When they saw Andrew still sitting cross-legged on his seat, the students laughed loudly.
Andrew ignored them, though.
He felt a huge force continuously surging into his body.

At the same time.
Massachusetts Institute of Martial Arts.
Bang!
A scientific research instrument suddenly exploded, and fragments scattered all over the ground.
The researcher widened his eyes and cried out, "What strong energy. Could it be that another Ultimate realm fighter has been born in Massachusetts?"
Soon, he reported this news to the person-in-charge.
In the conference room of the research institute.
A few fighters were sitting around the round table.
The person-in-charge was sitting in the middle. His steps were steady, and his breathing was long. It was obvious that he had the strength of a seventh-grade fighter.
The man stood up and pointed at an electronic display screen.
On the display screen was a photo.
"This is a photo taken by a satellite. Just three minutes ago, with Boston as the center, a large amount of cosmic energy gathered within a 100-kilometer radius. It even formed an energy storm!
"Dozens of cars were damaged, and close to 100 people were injured. Fortunately, there were no fatal injuries.
"According to the research institute's speculation, it's very likely that a grade-9 fighter broke through the impasse.
"I've already reported this to the military. They will send strong fighters to investigate..."
All in all, the only thing they could do was to deal with the aftermath.
Right after the energy storm dissipated, many warriors in Massachusetts were stunned.
They actually couldn't feel any cosmic energy!
Even the monsters in the East Coast Wilderness hid in their nests and didn't dare to come out to hunt for food.
...
Martial Arts Training High School No. 3.
Andrew looked at the classroom with glass shards scattered all over the ground and the noise coming from outside. He muttered in his heart, "Is the system that powerful?
"Just loading the system caused an energy storm."
He looked at the system interface.
[Immortal Cultivation System]
[Name: Andrew Doyle
[Age: 18 years old
[Identity: Martial Arts Training High School No. 3 student
[Cultivation Realm: Qi Formation First Grade ()
[Cultivation Technique: None ()
[Magic Weapon: None
[Strengthening Points: 0 Points
[System Store: Opening conditions have not been met
[Lucky Draw -RSB-: 100 strengthening points for one lucky draw
[Storage Space: 1 cubic meter
[Detected that Host has an unopened novice gift bag. Do you wish to open it?]
A crisp system notification sounded in his mind, but Andrew directly ignored it. Instead, he frowned. "Immortal cultivation?"
He had promised to practice martial arts, but why did it suddenly become immortal cultivation?
And why was this so-called "Qi Formation First Grade" different from ordinary warriors?
But soon, Andrew laughed. Without thinking, it was obvious that immortal cultivation was a level higher than martial arts.
He came back to his senses and said to himself in his mind, 'Open the novice gift bag.'
Suddenly, a few crisp voices rang in his ears.
"You have gained 500 strengthening points."
"You have obtained blade technique, Nine-layered Thunder Blade."
"You have obtained Immortal Cultivation Technique: Infinite Innate Skill."
The two secret manuals turned into memory fragments and fused into Andrew's mind.
Infinite Innate Skill was a secret manual of immortal cultivation at the Heaven Immortal level. Cultivating it would allow one's Qi to extend endlessly. Moreover, one could refine one's Qi and unleash terrifying power at critical moments.
As for the other Nine-layered Thunder Blade.
It could be summed up in one word: Fast!
"This blade technique seems to be a little interesting," Andrew said softly.
The Nine-layered Thunder Blade could be cultivated to nine levels in total. Each level would give the user an additional hidden force, and each hidden force could double the user's combat strength.
If one cultivated it to the great success stage, they could unleash ten times their combat strength in one go!
"Although I am now in the first level of the Qi Formation realm, my body was tempered by the cosmic energy storm. In terms of strength, I should not be weaker than a second-class warrior.
"If I master the Nine-layered Thunder Blade, I'm afraid that even a fifth-class warrior would not be able to withstand my full-strength strike."
Andrew did not hide the smile on his face at all.
In the eyes of the other students, though, Andrew had gone crazy.
He didn't even know how to hide in such a big commotion. Now, he was sitting there with his legs crossed and giggling foolishly. It seemed that he was mumbling something.
"Immortal cultivation?"
"What else could he be if not crazy?"
Andrew didn't know what the others were thinking at all. He continued to look at the system interface.
500 strengthening points...
What was this strengthening point?
It couldn't just be a lottery system, right?
"Eh?
"There's a '' on the back of the cultivation realm and cultivation technique. Could it be..."
He tried to click on the ''on the back of the cultivation realm.
"Ding!"
"Your cultivation has been raised to the second level of the Qi Formation realm. Strengthening points -300."
Andrew felt the strength in his body increase. Compared to the first level of the Qi Formation realm, it was already one level higher.
His eyes lit up, and he continued to click on the '' button.
"Ding!"
"Insufficient strengthening points. Unable to raise cultivation."
"How about saber techniques?"
Andrew clicked on the '' button at the back of the cultivation technique.
"Ding!"
"Nine-layered Thunder Blade has been raised to the first level of major accomplishment. Strengthening points -100."
"I'm Invincible!"
Andrew laughed out loud.
High school students his age usually practiced the most basic martial arts techniques, but now, he not only had the immortal cultivation technique, but he also had the Nine-layered Thunder Blade!
At least among the martial artists of the same age, no one was his match.

"Oh no, Andrew must have gone crazy."
"His sister is a martial arts genius. If she blames us for driving her brother crazy..."
"We didn't force him. Don't spout nonsense!"
"He went crazy on his own..."
Everyone quickly came to an agreement.
"You guys are the crazy ones." Andrew stood up and stretched. At the moment, he only wanted to get a blade to test his skills.
"George, my stomach hurts. I might need to go to the hospital," said Andrew.
"Stomachache?" George snorted. How could he not see that he was lying?
But after thinking about it, he still approved Andrew's request.
...
Andrew slowly returned home and found a kitchen knife in the kitchen. Just as he was about to test the effect of his Nine-layered Thunder Blade, the doorbell rang.
Andrew walked to the door while cursing.
When he opened the door, he saw a girl in white sportswear standing at the door with a ponytail. She was about 20 years old and had a delicate face with a tall figure. She was pretty good-looking.
"Didn't you have a stomachache? Do you want to go to the hospital?
"How about I accompany you there?
"You didn't pick up my call and made me run so far."
"..."
Andrew was stunned on the spot.
What was going on?
The person in front of him looked very familiar, but for a moment, he could not recall her name. After pressing his mind, Andrew finally reacted.
This was the martial arts genius from Massachusetts.
Annie Doyle.
She was also Andrew's sister. However, he was adopted by his parents and had no blood relationship with Annie.
"Sister, I'm already an adult."
"So?"
Annie pushed the door open and directly walked in, sitting on the sofa.
"Due to the recent energy storm, the school is on vacation. I'm here to stay for two days."
"Really? That's great," said Andrew in a flat tone.
Stay for two days?
How could he be happy about such a thing?
Staying with his sister was no different than living in prison.
Annie seemed to have sensed Andrew's dissatisfaction.
"My words are useless now, right?
"Sleeping in class, playing with your phone, fighting with gangsters after school, and even going to the middle school to pick up girls?"
Annie was so angry that her eyes narrowed into a slit.
There was killing intent!
Andrew was shocked. Why didn't he have any impression of these things?
"With your body, you dare to fight with others. If it weren't for others..."
Annie swallowed her words halfway. She couldn't bear to hurt her brother's pride.
If those street gangsters were serious, her brother would at least return to the apartment with a bloody nose and a swollen face.
Fortunately, her reputation was somewhat useful in this area.
"Alright, Sister, stop talking," said Andrew.
He was no longer the trash he used to be. Although he was under his sister's protection, he didn't need it anymore.
"Andrew, the teacher has already told me about you. It's not scary to not have talent in martial arts. The scary thing is that you are willing to succumb to fate. Even if you can't practice martial arts, you can still study scientific research."
Andrew didn't say anything. In fact, he didn't know what to say.
Luckily, Annie didn't harp on the topic. She asked about Andrew's recent situation and then said, "Don't worry about the entrance exam."
She already had a way to solve this problem.
There was a university in Texas. Although it wasn't ranked very high in the country, the person-in-charge there had already made a promise to her.
As long as she transferred to their school, they would be able to vacate a spot. This way, Andrew would be able to smoothly enter the university.
"Sister, you are a genius of our state. What rank are you now as a fighter?
"Have you already reached the Grade-7 Grandmaster realm?"
PA!
Annie lightly hit Andrew's forehead.
"Grade 7?
"In our Massachusetts state, only Director John of the Administration Bureau is a Grade-7 fighter. Do you think Grade-7 fighters are cabbages?
"Although I'm a Grade-3 fighter now, I'm still the number one figure in Boston University!"
"Impressive!" Andrew quickly praised her.
A Grade-3 fighter?
He was already a second-rank Qi Formation realm fighter. On top of that, he had mastered an immortal cultivation technique and a blade manual. No matter how he looked at it, he should be much stronger than a Grade-3 fighter.
"By the way, I brought you a gift," Annie said as she took out a wooden box from her backpack.
Whoosh!
The wooden box opened.
An alloy battle saber appeared in front of Andrew.
"This is a B-grade composite metal saber. I got it half a month ago when I was on a mission. Although you don't practice martial arts, it's not bad to use it for self-defense."
Andrew was stunned. From his memory, he knew that Annie loved him very much.
But when he heard that it was a B-grade composite metal saber, he was still a little touched. This blade could be sold at a high price of one million on the black market.
Moreover, the blade in front of him was almost undamaged. The price would only be higher than one million.
"Sister, it's a waste to give such a valuable thing to me. You might as well exchange it for a weapon for your own use."
"If I ask you to accept it, then accept it!" Annie glared fiercely and said, "We are siblings. Why are we so clear on who gets what?"
"That's true." Andrew took the saber and chuckled. "Anyway, even Sister is mine. Why are we so clear on who gets what?"
"What?" Annie seemed to have not heard clearly and asked him again.
Andrew did not say anything else. He held the saber and ran out. "Sister, I'm going to try this blade out."
Bang!
The door closed.
Andrew soon arrived at the back garden.
Annie's face turned red, and she cursed aloud, "This kid, he even flirted with me.
"He actually dared to flirt with girls from the middle school..."
Annie sighed. She took out the ingredients from the grocery store from her backpack and quietly walked into the kitchen.

Andrew raised his blade and was ready to test the effect of the Nine-layered Thunder Blade.
"Eh? The people from the Martial Arts Administration!"
Andrew keenly noticed the people from the Martial Arts Administration patrolling the streets in groups of two.
He thought for a moment before putting away his blade. If he made too much noise, it would definitely attract those nosy people. He wouldn't be able to explain himself then.
The ruckus caused by the system today was too big, and even the people from the Martial Arts Administration were mobilized.
Andrew looked at the system again.
It seemed that he still had 100 strengthening points left.
100 points, which was just enough for a lucky draw.
If he drew any cultivation method or sword technique, it would naturally be the best.
"Let's give it a try," Andrew muttered in his heart.
The lottery was activated.
"Ding!"
"Strengthening points -100. Lucky Draw initiated."
"Congratulations, Host, you have obtained a tool: Invisibility Talisman."
"..."
Invisibility Talisman?
Andrew was stunned for a moment.
There were too many uses for this thing.
"F*ck, this system doesn't seem to be very serious."
I'm such an upright person. How can I use something that only ordinary villains have?
A talisman appeared out of thin air in Andrew's hand. There weren't any fancy patterns on it.
Rather, there was only one simple word, "Invisibility."
F*ck!
Andrew cursed in his heart. Why not just draw some random patterns? Who was the system fooling by writing the word "Invisibility"?
"Eh?
"The system store actually opened?"
Andrew noticed the system interface flickering.
[Immortal Cultivation System]
[Name: Andrew Doyle
[Age: 18 years old
[Identity: Martial Arts Training High School No. 3 student
[Cultivation Realm: Qi Formation Second Grade ()
[Cultivation Technique: Nine-layered Thunder Blade, Infinite Innate Skill ()
[Magic Weapon: None
[Strengthening Points: 0 Points
[System Store: Opened
[Lucky Draw: 100 strengthening points for one lucky draw
[Storage Space: 1 cubic meter ()
The words at the back of the system store had changed to "Opened."
With a thought, Andrew opened the system store. In the otherwise empty store, there was only one item for sale.
Invisibility Talisman: 80 strengthening points.
"..."
"So I spent 100 strengthening points to draw an Invisibility Talisman and lost 20 points?!"
Andrew was about to curse a little more. But on second thought, if he didn't draw an Invisibility Talisman, he probably wouldn't be able to buy it in the mall.
The Invisibility Talisman was indeed a good thing. As long as he wasn't like Susan in the Fantastic Four, he would have to take off his clothes first.
Andrew took the Invisibility Talisman and looked around.
[Invisibility Talisman: After using it, you can enter an invisibility state. Effective time: 5 minutes.]
[Remark: You may be discovered by people with strong spiritual power. ]
Andrew thought for a moment, then slapped the Invisibility Talisman on his body.
PA!
The Invisibility Talisman disappeared.
"I can still see my own body.
"This dog system is selling fake goods!"
Andrew's face was full of anger. He swore, then turned around and walked toward the nearby park.
After traveling one or two hundred meters, he suddenly stopped.
On the grass, a couple was passionately hugging each other. The woman's body was moving up and down on the man's body.
"They are so brave? I'm already so close, yet the two of them don't even look at me.
"Eh... That's not right!"
Andrew suddenly came back to his senses. Could it be because of the Invisibility Talisman?
"Hey! Brother."
Andrew suddenly greeted the man.
The couple did not seem to hear Andrew's voice, though, and continued enjoying each other's embrace.
Did they not hear him? Or was it because of the effect of the Invisibility Talisman?
He shouted even louder.
Suddenly, the man shivered and looked around in fear. However, after scanning his surroundings, he did not find anyone else.
"What's wrong with you? Don't you usually last for an hour? Why are you so fast today?"
The woman frowned. She was only halfway through.
"Bah, I heard someone talking just now!"
Perhaps it was because he was frightened, but no matter how the woman teased him, the man did not get hard again.
The woman stood up while swearing, "Talking? I saw you taking medicine last time. If I knew that was all you could do, I would not have come with you to look for excitement."
That was it?
Andrew, who was ready to watch the show, shook his head.
But since he had confirmed the authenticity of the invisibility charm, there was no need for him to stay.
If he suddenly appeared five minutes later and scared that person, it wouldn't be good.
Andrew turned around and walked home.
Just when he was about to reach home, he heard a ding.
The duration of the Invisibility Talisman was up.
"Five minutes is too short... Looks like I have to think of a way to get more Invisibility Talismans."
He pushed the door open. The house was cleaned up, and he could even smell the aroma of food.
Annie was sitting on the sofa, practicing the "Genetic energy cultivation method."
"Strange. After practicing for half a day, why can't I sense the cosmic energy?"
Cough, cough!
Andrew walked to the side silently, thinking that the nearby cosmic energy had been emptied by the system. It would be weird if she could still sense it.
It would take at least one or two days for the cosmic energy in Boston to return to normal.
"I forgot to remind you just now. If you flaunt around a B-grade composite metal blade, aren't you afraid of it being snatched by others?
"If it's just snatching weapons, then forget it. I'm more afraid that you'll be injured by others."
Hearing Annie's concerned words, Andrew's nose felt sour.
It seemed that he had to earn more strengthening points to buy some Invisibility Talismans and prepare some for Annie. If she was in any danger outside, it would be convenient for her to escape.

Chapter 5: The School Wants to Expel Me?
Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL
The next morning.
Andrew was pulled out of bed by Annie.
"Wait, Sis... Just five minutes more!
"Three minutes!"
Half an hour later, Andrew changed into his school uniform with a dark face.
After washing up, he sat at the dining table.
Breakfast was simple: a glass of milk and two pieces of croissants.
Andrew ate the bread and said, "Sister, I've decided. I want to get into Stanford University."
"What?"
Annie wondered if she had heard wrong.
Stanford University's martial arts department was ranked in the top three among all the universities.
Even a martial arts genius like her from Massachusetts did not have the confidence to get into Stanford University.
Leaving martial arts aside, even if it was a liberal arts program, with Andrew's current results, it was no different from dreaming if he wanted to be admitted into Stanford University.
However, Annie did not strike Andrew's confidence.
"Good, Brother. As long as you maintain your current fighting spirit, it's not impossible for you to get into Stanford University's liberal arts program."
Andrew drank the milk in one gulp and said, "No, I want to get into the martial arts program!"
...
The high school students didn't take a break because of yesterday's energy storm.
As soon as Andrew stepped into the gate of the third high school, he was seen by the dean of the school.
"Andrew, come here. I have something to discuss with you."
A few minutes later, Andrew said with a gloomy face, "Dean, do you mean... the school wants to expel me?"
The dean's name was O'Neill. He was in his forties and had a strong body. He was a first-grade warrior.
However, despite being a first-grade warrior, the years were getting on to him. He would probably be like this for the rest of his life.
"Andrew, actually, the school doesn't mean that."
O'Neill quickly explained. If this kind of thing that advised students to quit the school was spread out, would any students dare to come here in the future?
"What we mean is that your academic results aren't very good, and you don't have any talent in martial arts either. You might as well quit school now so that you won't embarrass your sister during the entrance exam."
Hehe.
Andrew sneered in his heart.
Embarrass my sister?
Are you sure you're not afraid of embarrassing the school?
"What if I'm not willing to quit school?"
O'Neill's expression changed at once. "You haven't passed the exam. According to the regulations, even if you don't quit school, you'll still be held back!"
"Are you sure about that?"
Andrew regretted not bringing the saber to the school. However, after a quick thought, he didn't get angry anymore.
With his current ability, was he afraid that he wouldn't be able to get into a university?
"Oh right, Dean, where is the school principal?"
"Since you want me to drop out, I need to go to the principal to sign the application."
O'Neill thought for a moment and said, "Today is the martial arts mock examination. The leader of the Education Bureau and even the admissions teachers from a few universities are attending the event. They should be in the hall of the experimental building.
"I just happen to be going there. Follow me."
Andrew nodded and followed O'Neill.
When they arrived at the hall of the experimental building, the third-year students of the Martial Arts Training High School No. 3 were all gathered there.
The school leaders, the leaders of the Education Bureau, and the university's admissions teachers were all sitting on the high platform. The students below were in a long line, and the huge hall was very quiet.
On the high platform, there were a few special instruments.
A student took a deep breath and slowly walked forward.
First, he passed through the Qi and blood test instruments. Then, he began to run the 100-meter dash. Finally, he entered a sealed room alone.
Soon, a teacher shouted, "Grade 12 Class 1, John, Qi and blood 125, speed 11 m/s, average reaction speed, overall score 83 points."
John lowered his head and got down from the high platform.
83 points.
He still lacked a little to enter a university's martial arts department.
Then, the second student walked up.
Andrew followed O'Neill to sit in the last row of Class 6. When he heard John's score, he thought to himself, Speed 11m/s. If this were on earth, it would be enough to break the world record. But here, it's just an ordinary result of a high school student."
In this world, the physical fitness of humans had been greatly enhanced.
Not to mention fighters, even ordinary people could easily break many world records.
As for Qi and blood.
The Qi and blood value of an ordinary adult was about 100. Once the Qi and blood value reached 150, they were qualified to undergo bone tempering. They could be considered as "Prospective fighters."
"Eh?"
"Andrew?"
Beside him, a student's eyes were wide open. He stared at Andrew, sized him up, then said in surprise, "Andrew, why are you here? Wasn't yesterday..."
You were scared silly by the Origin Energy Storm?
But he didn't dare to say the latter part of the sentence.
Andrew was a piece of trash, but his sister wasn't. He didn't want to cause trouble for no reason.
"Can't I come?"
Andrew glanced at him coldly.
He had some impression of this classmate. He seemed to be called Jeff.
"Andrew!"
"Andrew is here!"
In just a split second, a burst of noise came from the line-up of Grade 12 Class 6. Everyone turned their heads to look at Andrew.
Someone said in a low voice, "This is Andrew. A few days ago, he made his name in the school during the martial arts talent test. Yesterday, he was scared shitless by an energy storm and didn't know where to hide. Yet now, he even thought of coming to participate in the martial arts simulation test."
"Trash is trash. If I were him, I wouldn't even show my face in public. If I can't even reach 100 points in the Blood Qi test, it would be a disgrace to the class."
"Andrew!"
A girl turned her head in the front. She bit her lips lightly and said in a low voice, "Andrew, I've already told you. I don't like you. Don't pester me anymore!"
A burst of laughter suddenly sounded in the hall. It turned out that he was here to pursue a girl.
With his talent, a toad wanted to eat swan meat!
The students in the hall were all waiting to see Andrew make a fool of himself.

Chapter 6: Martial Arts Simulation Test
Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL
Andrew was stunned.
This was the girl he had a crush on in his memory?
She looked like this?
She wasn't even one-tenth as good-looking as Annie!
He didn't know who gave her the confidence to be so arrogant.
Andrew couldn't take it anymore and immediately retorted, "Dora, aren't you feeling too good about yourself? With your appearance, I'm afraid that if I see you in the middle of the night, I'll think that I've seen a ghost!"
"What did you say?"
Dora's eyes widened, and it made her look even uglier.
Andrew didn't say anything more. He directly stood up and walked towards the high platform.
Below.
The students of class six began to discuss with each other.
"Quiet!"
O'Neill shouted in a low voice and hurriedly chased after Andrew.
As expected of the dean. The hall became much quieter after his shout.
However, the students in the hall all cast their gazes over.
They...
Recognized Andrew!
"Is that Andrew?"
"He's quite handsome. A pity that he doesn't have any martial arts talent."
"Hmph, so what if he's handsome? Without martial arts, he can only carry shoes for us martial artists in the future!"
A boy who was jealous of Andrew's appearance added.
The other male students expressed their agreement. If he didn't become a martial artist, he would be a piece of trash!
On the high platform, the school leaders, the Education Bureau leader, and the teachers from several universities also looked over.
Andrew was walking straight to the platform while O'Neill was chasing after him.
Another dean frowned and stood up, saying, "O'Neill, how do you manage your students? The martial arts mock exam forbids students from walking around."
He then looked at Andrew. "This student, hurry up and get down, or your credits will be deducted!"
"Victor, I..."
O'Neil was about to explain.
However, Andrew pulled Dean Victor's chair behind him and sat down.
"Dean, you are going to expel me anyway. There's no point in deducting credits now!"
"Andrew!"
O'Neill was a little anxious.
What kind of occasion was this?
Martial Arts Simulation Assessment Test!
Other than the school leaders, there were also the leader of the Education Bureau and the teachers of various universities.
In the first place, something like forcing a student to drop out of school couldn't be put on the table. However, Andrew had said it in front of everyone.
If he caused any more trouble, he, O'Neill, even as the dean, would have to take responsibility!
O'Neil quickly pulled Andrew's arm, but he remained fixed on his seat without any reaction.
"O'Neil, is he that trash Andrew?"
Dean Victor said coldly with a gloomy face, "Very good. A student like you dares to talk back to your teacher. This is already a violation of the school rules. In addition to the previous assessment results, you can totally be expelled from the school!"
As he said this, he looked at the principal beside him.
The principal didn't say anything; he just frowned.
After all, Andrew's sister was a genius from Massachusetts, and a teacher of Boston University was also beside him.
But if he was expelled, so be it. In any case, they were in the right now.
O'Neill let out a long sigh.
Fortunately.
There was no big trouble.
However, the next moment, Andrew laughed out loud.
He got up and said, "Oh right, Dean, if I remember correctly, I paid the assessment fee back then..."
"I'll just return it to you!"
Victor thought that Andrew was still thinking about the 100 yuan assessment fee.
"No, no, no. I mean, then I can also participate in the assessment."
Hehe.
Victor and O'Neill both burst into laughter.
If it were not for the Education Bureau leader, their laughter might have been even more impudent.
"What?
"Are you not going to let me take the assessment?"
Andrew did not care and said in a flat tone, "Or are you afraid that I will perform well and be accepted by a certain university?"
The teachers of these universities had come to watch the assessment in order to find good seedlings.
"Admission?"
Just as Andrew finished speaking, the New York State University's recruitment teacher stood up and said, "Although our New York State University branch pays attention to students' talent, we also look at their moral character.
"Students like you have no discipline. Even if you have the strength of a fighter, our school will not admit you!"
"The same goes for our Okun University. We will never admit students who contradict our teachers!"
"And our Washi School has always been merciless to such students!"
Andrew blinked. He was amused by their words.
"What Okun University? Washi School? I've even never heard of you guys. Even if you kneel down and beg me, I won't take a fancy to you."
"As for the New York State University branch, I might consider letting your main school beg me."
"Hm?"
Instantly, a few sharp auras erupted!
These recruitment teachers weren't like high school teachers, who were fighter rank 2.
Among them, the strongest was the New York State University branch's recruitment teacher.
Fighter rank 3 peak!
He suddenly stood up and used his aura to suppress Andrew. He stretched out his hand and prepared to grab him.
"A student like you has to be taught a good lesson. Otherwise, when you grow up, you will definitely walk on the path of crime!"
Boom!
An explosion sounded in the air.
The explosive force of a third rank martial artist instantly reached several thousand Jin. Despite being a casual grab, it could crush steel.
If this move landed on Andrew's body, at least a few of his ribs would be broken.
"Huh?"
Andrew's eyes were suddenly filled with killing intent.

Chapter 7: The Fake Recruitment Teacher
Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL
This recruitment teacher was actually serious!
However, Andrew did not dodge. Instead, he used all his power to meet his attack with a palm.
"Teacher Will! He's still just a student!"
The expression of Martial Arts Training High School No. 3's principal changed. Nonetheless, he was only a second-grade martial artist, and his strength was too weak. There was no way he could stop Will.
He was finished!
If Andrew was seriously injured, his sister, Annie, would definitely come looking for him.
It was said that Annie was cultivating at Boston University. She was already a third rank fighter at the age of 20. This kind of genius was not someone he could provoke.
Bang!
Crack!
The two palms intersected.
The principal of the Martial Arts Training High School No. 3 only heard the sound of bones breaking.
The next moment, he saw Will fly backward and crash into the guardrail of the high platform. Even the alloy guardrail was bent by the flying body.
And his arm was hanging limply.
"What?"
The principal narrowed his eyes and shouted in disbelief.
The whole hall instantly quieted down.
Dean Victor was the closest to Andrew. When they clashed, a blast of energy was released. Although he was a first-class warrior, he was directly thrown to the ground by the overflowing energy.
He fell to the ground, and despite having no injury, he did not dare to get up.
He just widened his eyes and muttered, "Impossible!
"This is impossible!
"He is clearly a martial arts trash. I must be hallucinating!"
PA!
He gave himself a hard slap.
However, the one who fell to the ground and vomited blood was still Teacher Will from the New York State University branch.
O'Neill, who was standing behind Andrew, couldn't help but tremble.
"This... This..."
He stuttered and couldn't utter a complete sentence.
He was the one who had talked to the principal to expel Andrew!
In his opinion, for a martial arts trash like Andrew to attend their school was simply a disgrace!
However, he had never imagined that Andrew's strength would be so great!
He could even easily deal with a third-grade fighter recruitment teacher!
Didn't they say he was trash?
Didn't they say that his talent was zero?
This...
It was over... His professional career would probably end here.
Offstage.
All the students were silent.
Especially Andrew's classmates, their mouths were so wide open that one could stuff an egg into them. After all, they had mocked Andrew so many times.
Dora, who was in Grade 12 Class 6 and had been meticulously dressed, had her eyes lit up. The way she looked at Andrew was incredibly passionate!
"..."
Andrew was a little puzzled.
He broke his bone just like that?
That Teacher Will, who was still vomiting blood, wouldn't be beaten to death by him just like that, right?
Am I that fierce?
He hurriedly explained himself, "You guys have to testify for me. He was the one who made the first move. I was acting in self-defense. Who knew that he would fly out by himself?"
After explaining, he even ridiculed the guy, "Are the recruitment teachers at the New York State University branch so weak?"
Then, Andrew took advantage of the moment when the teachers and leaders were shocked to secretly run out of the laboratory building.
Once he ran far away, he took out his cell phone and dialed Annie's number.
"Andrew, it should be during class now. Why are you calling me instead of attending class properly?"
Annie sounded a little unhappy.
Her brother had just said that he was going to enter university yesterday, but here he was, calling her during class.
It was really worrisome.
Andrew did not bother to explain and said in a low voice, "Sis, something happened..."
"Huh?"
Annie, who was practicing swordsmanship at home, had a change in expression. She thought that her brother had caused some trouble, but she soon heard Andrew's explanation, "Our school has an assessment test today, and a few university recruitment teachers came to attend..."
"And then?"
"And then... I suspect that these teachers are all imposters!"
"Ah?"
Annie did not understand what her brother meant.
University recruitment teacher?
Why would someone pretend to be a university recruitment teacher?
"Sis, I'll tell you the details when I get home... I accidentally injured the recruitment teacher of the New York State University Branch."
"..."
Annie fell silent.
Did her younger brother take her as a fool?
Would she believe such a thing?
"But the injury was not serious. He only lost an arm and vomited some blood on the ground. Sis, do you think he wants to extort money from me?
"Oh no, let's not talk about it now. The teachers from the school are coming out!"
Should I run or not?
Andrew was conflicted in his mind. In the end, he gritted his teeth and said, "There are so many people here who can testify that he was the one who made the first move. If he really wants to extort money from me, I'll take my sword and chop him to death!"
That's not right!
I didn't bring my sword!
Damn it.
If he had known earlier, he would have brought his B-grade composite metal battle sword.
"It's too late to call now... eh? My strengthening points?"
Andrew's eyes widened.
His used-up strengthening points had actually increased by 10 points!
Could it be that defeating a fighter would give him strengthening points?
He turned his head and looked at the hall.
Other than the teacher who had fallen to the ground, there were also others from different universities, as well as his high school principal...
They were all fighters!
If he could beat them all, he should be able to obtain 60 to 70 strengthening points.
This way, he could buy an additional Invisibility Talisman.
However, if he did this, he was afraid that he would really stand on the opposite side of all the universities. If he wanted to enter a university, it would not be that simple.
Moreover, the head of the Education Bureau was there as well.
This kind of matter could not be rushed.

Chapter 8: The Regretful Third High School!
Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL
Outside the experimental building, O'Neill chased after Andrew.
Behind him was Victor. These two were Prospective Fighters, and they gave it their all to chase after him. Their speed was also around 15 m/s. in the blink of an eye, they had arrived in front of Andrew.
"Andrew!"
O'Neill's face was full of smiles as he said kindly, "Andrew, don't mind what Teacher said before. Oh right, when did you become a fighter? Teacher Will is a peak third-grade fighter. He is only one step away from the middle-grade realm. Could it be that you have already reached the middle-grade realm?"
Andrew was too lazy to say anything.
At the side.
Victor also squeezed out a smile and came up to him. "Student Andrew, just now in the experimental building, the head of the Education Bureau and the university teachers were all there. I also reprimanded you for the sake of our school's rules and regulations.
"What expulsion and deducting credits? Don't take it seriously!"
Breaking the arm of a third-grade fighter with one palm?
The minimum strength required was the peak of the fourth grade!
One had to know that there were close to 10,000 fighters in Massachusetts. However, there were no more than 50 fighters of the fourth rank!
If a high school student had the fourth rank's strength, not to mention Boston University, even Harvard and Stanford, which were ranked in the top five, would fight for him.
He actually wanted to expel Andrew?
If Andrew left, his position as a dean would come to an end.
Andrew sneered. "Dean, you are a leader of the school. How can you go back on your words?"
"Ugh..."
Victor's face turned red. He didn't know how to persuade him.
He hurriedly winked at O'Neill, who could only brace himself and continue to convince him. However, Andrew didn't respond at all. He just waved his hand and said, "These two deans, you don't have to say anything.
"I realized the mistake I made before. I feel extremely guilty, so I decided not to stay in the school."
Andrew turned around and left without looking back.
O'Neil's eyes were gloomy as he helplessly looked at Victor.
Victor, on the other hand, became angry and scolded O'Neill, "You must have gone crazy!
"He can break Will's arm with one palm. What kind of strength is that? He's even more genius than his sister! You actually kept urging me to fire him!
"Hmph!
"If Andrew doesn't return to school, you can forget about coming back either!"
Victor warned O'Neill.
Although they were both deans, his relationship with the school was far deeper than O'Neill's.
PA!
O'Neill raised his hand and gave himself a regretful slap.
...
In the hall of the experimental building.
The school doctor and security guards of Martial Arts Training High School No. 3 used a stretcher to carry Teacher Will out.
On the stretcher.
Will quietly narrowed his eyes and looked at the outside world. He quickly closed his eyes again.
Damn it!
It was too embarrassing.
A dignified university recruitment teacher was actually beaten up by a high school student until he could not retaliate!
It was better to continue pretending to faint...
The remaining few university teachers exchanged glances and began to make plans in their hearts.
If news of this spread, the top universities would definitely send people over to snatch the student.
For a school like theirs, they wouldn't have any advantage at all.
"Let's go all out!"
"I'll report this matter to the university leaders and ask them to offer conditions before the other universities come into contact with Andrew."
A smile appeared on the corner of the mouth of the recruitment teacher from Okun University.
He had even thought of a plan. After he recruited Andrew, there would be an overwhelming amount of publicity!
He immediately cupped his fists at the other teachers and the Education Bureau head and said with a smile, "Thank you for your hospitality. I remembered that I still have something to do, so I'll be leaving first."
After he left, the recruitment teachers of the other universities finally reacted.
They cursed the old fox in their hearts before finding an excuse to run out.
The Education Bureau leader looked at the principal and said with a smile, "That student just now seemed to be called Andrew? Not bad.
"At that time, his sister became a fighter in the entrance exam and became a genius of our state. I didn't expect that this Andrew would be even more talented than his sister.
"Your school must cherish him!"
The principal was stunned. He opened his mouth to explain, but he couldn't utter a single word.
If Andrew spread the news that he had been expelled, no students would be willing to come to this high school.
Moreover, the Martial Arts Training High School No. 3 would become the laughingstock of all the high schools!
Looking at O'Neill and Victor who had come back, a ball of anger rose in his heart.
"Trash!
"The school finally produced a genius, but you two forced him away!
"Who gave you the right to expel students at will!?"
After saying that, he strode away.
O'Neal and Victor were left in their original spots, not knowing what to do for a moment.
After a long time, the teachers in the hall of the experimental building had all dispersed.
"F*ck!"
"Am I dreaming?"
"Isn't Andrew a martial arts trash? Could it be that there was a problem with his talent test back then?"
"Sigh, it's a pity that I didn't get to talk to him more back then."
"I remember that Andrew seems to like Dora, right?"
"Hehe, you don't know? Dora just rejected Andrew a few days ago. This matter has spread throughout their class. Dora must be regretting it to death now."
Many students secretly looked at Dora.
Dora wore a heavy expression, as if she was thinking about something.

Chapter 9: The Way to Obtain Strengthening Points!
Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL
Martial Arts Training High School No. 3
At the school gate.
Andrew walked out from the alley on the street. He had already changed his clothes. Like the superheroes in a movie, he was wearing a hood to hide his face.
"No one should be able to recognize my current appearance, right?
"But I have to lower my voice a little."
A few minutes later, Andrew saw Okun, Washi, and the other university recruitment teachers striding out of the school gate.
His eyes lit up.
The target had appeared!
Whether or not he could get strengthening points after defeating a fighter would be made clear soon. He'd have to let these admissions teachers help him test it out.
However, halfway through, Andrew slowed down.
Although these recruitment teachers looked down on him, they did not take the initiative to attack him. How could he find trouble with them first?
Just as Andrew was deep in thought, a familiar voice sounded by his ear.
"President, it's Reagan!
"I'm currently in Massachusetts..."
The recruitment teacher of Okun University kept talking to the president as he walked out.
He told the whole story about Andrew.
On the other end of the phone, there was a long silence.
Reagan thought the signal was bad and looked at the phone screen.
Just as he was about to redial, the president of Okun University started berating him.
"Reagan, this is not a joke. If you don't want to do the recruitment work, you can tell us. There are many other jobs in the school logistics."
His meaning was obvious: Stop talking in your sleep!
A high school student was able to break the arm of the New York State University Branch's recruitment teacher with one palm strike?
Not mentioning whether there was such a perverted high school student, even if there was, he would have been snatched away by other universities long ago. How could it be Okun University's turn, which was ranked at the bottom?
Du du du...
President Okun directly hung up the phone.
"President?
"President! I'm really not joking!"
Reagan was so anxious that he was about to cry. Why didn't the president believe what he said?
If he were to recruit this perverted high school , he would at least be able to make it into the university's management.
He picked up his phone and prepared to call again.
However, as a martial artist, he was keenly aware that someone was watching him.
When he turned around, he saw a strange person wearing a red hood and tight-fitting clothes standing behind him.
Nowadays, do I have to dress up to be a bandit?
Reagan thought to himself.
However, he really didn't put a mere bandit in his eyes.
He was a second-rank martial artist. Although he wasn't as good as Teacher Will, dealing with a mere bandit was like flipping his hand.
"Get lost. Don't block the road. If you want to rob someone, go find a convenience store!"
Andrew raised his head and looked at Reagan.
He had confirmed his gaze!
It was him!
Previously, this teacher had said that he was disrespectful to his teachers and had bad morals. Now, he was provoking him.
"Who are you looking down on? Robbery? I'm a superhero!"
Superhero?
A trace of mockery flashed through Reagan's eyes.
Was he crazy? A superhero? Could it be that a superhero was more powerful than a martial artist?
However, he still vaguely sensed that something was wrong.
This person looked somewhat familiar.
Although his voice was lowered, he had heard it somewhere recently.
But, what responded to him was a flying fist.
Bang!
He didn't even have time to close his eyes, watching the fist expanding in his pupils.
A second-grade martial artist! He didn't even have the time to dodge and was directly hit by the fist.
His vision went black, and in the next moment, his body was sent flying backward.
"Hmph, looking down on me!" Andrew said disdainfully.
In his mind, the system's notification sounded again.
"Ding!"
"Congratulations, you have defeated a second-grade martial artist. Reward: 5 strengthening points."
As expected, it was just as he had guessed.
Defeating a martial artist would give him strengthening points.
However, just 5 strengthening points were too little.
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!

Chapter 10: Fake Recruitment Teachers!
Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL
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 Honor 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: Recruitment
Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL
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: Becoming a Martial Artist

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 arms. 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."
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.

Chapter 13: The Martial Arts Assessment

"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.
Report chapter Comments
Chapter 14: Unexpected Assessment Results
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!

Chapter 15: The Chief's Personal Assessment
Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL
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!
Whoosh!
Just as he was thinking about other things, a red ray was released from the instrument.
Andrew subconsciously twisted his body to avoid the ray.
The movement was not too big.
The red ray could be said to have grazed by his clothes.
Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he heard the sound of the instrument.
Then.
The second ray!
The third ray!
Several rays shot out from different directions at the same time.
Andrew kicked with his right foot and turned his body in the air. At the same time, he twisted his waist to avoid the most difficult ray.
As time passed, the frequency and number of rays emitted gradually increased.
Andrew had to concentrate and dodge left and right.
In his concentrated state, he vaguely felt that the speed of the rays was much slower.
One minute later.
He heard another beep from the instrument, and the rays stopped emitting.
The reaction speed test data also appeared on the computer screen.
In one minute, he was hit zero times. His reaction was superior to a third-grade fighter!
Edward was already used to it.
Superior to a third-grade fighter.
This was a result that 99% of the third-grade fighters could not achieve.
Even a fourth-grade fighter would be hit once or twice by the rays if he made a slight mistake.
Beside him, Charles nodded with satisfaction and smiled. "Edward, I'll conduct the next battle technique test myself."
"Chief Charles?"
Edward was a little surprised. If Chief Charles personally took the test, Andrew would definitely not pass it.
But on second thought, the results of the first three tests were almost full marks. Even if he did not pass the last test, he could still pass the assessment and get the Martial Artist Card.
Charles took off his suit and stretched his muscles. "Don't worry. It's not easy for our Massachusetts to produce such a rare genius. I will definitely pay attention."
At the side, Andrew's face instantly darkened when he heard the conversation between the two.
A seventh-grade Grandmaster realm fighter assessing battle technique?
Wasn't this deliberately trying to make him fail the test!?
He took a deep breath and said seriously, "Chief Charles, I haven't this practiced battle technique for a long time. If it's you personally conducting the assessment, I'll have to do my best to deal with it!"
Charles nodded.
This was the effect he wanted.
What kind of battle skills could a high school student learn?
That was something only taught in the college martial arts course.
He just wanted to see this once-in-a-century genius's comprehension of battle technique.
At least, he could judge whether Andrew could seize the opportunity and use the most appropriate attack at the right time or not.
Andrew walked to the side and opened the knife case.
A B-grade composite metal blade was held in his hand.
"Oh?"
Chief Charles'eyes lit up, and he could not help but say, "B-grade composite metal blade, this is a good thing.
"I heard that your sister Annie killed a disciple of an evil master on a mission and obtained a lot of good things. This B-grade blade should be one of the spoils of war!"
Andrew didn't answer.
Annie never told him about her life in school. Even when they talked, she only cared about his safety.
Chief Charles didn't say anything more. His aura suddenly dropped, and he said, "I will suppress my Blood Qi to the early stage of the third-grade realm. As long as you defeat me, you will pass the test."

Chapter 16: Passing the Test And Becoming a Martial Artist
Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL
"Good!"
Andrew heaved a sigh of relief.
If it was just the strength of a third-grade martial artist, it shouldn't be difficult to defeat Chief Charles with his current condition.
After all, even the New York State University branch's recruitment teacher, Will, a martial artist at the peak of the third-grade, had been defeated by him.
Moreover, with his weapon in hand and the ability to use the Nine-layered Thunder Blade, his chances of defeating Chief Charles had increased.
However, Andrew did not relax.
The man in front of him was the number one martial artist in Massachusetts. Even if his strength was suppressed to the third-grade, he was still far more powerful than an ordinary fourth-grade martial artist.
After all, a person who could become a Grandmaster had more battle experience than an ordinary martial artist.
Andrew held the B-grade composite metal blade and slowly walked to Chief Charles.
Chief Charles assumed a defensive posture.
However...
Andrew was not in a hurry to attack.
He stepped away and started counting, estimating the distance between him and Chief Charles.
One, two, three...
Nine steps.
Using the steps to measure the distance, although there are some errors, they will not be too big.
Andrew thought in his heart.
Director Charles was stunned, and then, the corners of his mouth curved into a smile.
It seemed that Andrew was still too young.
He had met all sorts of opponents. From the moment Andrew used his footwork to retreat, he had already guessed what kind of move Andrew was going to use.
It was nothing more than opening up the distance and then charging. In that way, he could fully display the power of the blade.
In reality, though, the opponent would not be so kind as to let him put some distance between them and charge up.
However, in the next moment, Andrew held the blade with both hands and stood ten meters away. He slashed at him.
Boom!
It was as if a clap of thunder had exploded in the assessment room.
On the B-grade composite metal blade, there was a flash of lightning. A ten-meter-long Blade Qi mixed with lightning slashed down from the sky!
"External Blade Qi?"
Chief Charles was stunned.
Fortunately, he reacted in time. His strength, which had been suppressed to a third-grade fighter, suddenly soared and directly reached the peak of the fourth grade!
He bent down, gathered all the Blood Qi in his body, and clenched his right fist. Charles then threw a punch toward the Lightning Blade Qi!
There was only a rumble.
The enormous Blood Qi power turned into a dark red force and directly rushed toward the ten-meter-long Lightning Blade Qi!
The Blade Qi and the fist power collided, and both exploded.
A heatwave spread out from the center and almost overturned the equipment in the assessment room.
Director Charles took two steps back, grunting at the same time. All the hair on his body stood on ends.
In order to deal with that Lightning Blade Qi, he had to raise his strength to the peak of the fourth grade, albeit reluctantly.
Fortunately, he still managed to deal with it.
Otherwise, he would have embarrassed himself in front of the juniors.
Andrew also let out a muffled groan.
He took three steps back, put away his blade, and cupped his fists, saying, "As expected of Chief Charles. My full-strength attack was easily blocked by you. I've failed the battle technique test."
Director Charles did not answer, but he was secretly shocked.
Are you kidding me?
If I didn't use the strength of a peak fourth-grade fighter, I would have been seriously injured by that strike.
"Ahem, very normal."
Chief Charles suppressed the excitement in his heart and said calmly, "If it were any other third-grade fighter, they definitely wouldn't be able to take your blade. You don't have to be discouraged. After all, I'm a seventh-grade fighter."
Hearing Chief Charles'words, Andrew immediately understood.
It turned out that his attack wasn't bad, just that the opponent was too strong.
"Edward, Andrew's battle technique test is considered to have passed. Bring him to get a Martial Artist Card."
Chief Charles put on his clothes and left the assessment room with steady steps.
In the assessment room.
Edward looked at Andrew in surprise.
Was this really a high school student?
If he had been the one to receive that slash just now, he would have fallen to the ground and vomited blood even after blocking it.
He was a fighter of the fourth grade!
"Well... Mr. Edward, can you take me to apply for Martial Artist Card? I really have something to do later."
Edward recovered from his surprise and nodded repeatedly.
"Of course, please follow me."
The two went straight down the stairs.
The other warriors who came to take the assessment looked at the two of them one after another.
"That person is Edward, right? Who is the kid beside him?"
"I heard that he is the strictest among the staff in charge of the assessment. The kid beside him must be the son of some leader."
"What if he's here for the assessment?"
As soon as this person finished speaking, the others around him started to laugh.
"He's just a kid who hasn't even reached 20 yet, and he still wants to take the assessment?"
"I've already been through this three times. I know very well how difficult the assessment is."
A middle-aged man in his early thirties patted his chest and proclaimed.
In the corner of the fitness area on the first floor, the gray-haired youth, who hadn't passed the assessment earlier, was stunned when he saw the two people coming down the stairs.
How was this possible!
From the smile on Edward's face, it could be seen that this youth had definitely passed the fighter assessment.
But how was this possible?
He was somewhat in disbelief.
At the front desk of the Martial Arts Administration Bureau, Edward casually called over a staff member.
"Help this little brother apply for a Martial Artist Card. It has to be done as soon as possible. It's best if you can get it now."
The staff member looked at Andrew, his eyes full of doubt.
Wasn't this the young man who had participated in the assessment not long ago?
Moreover, from Mr. Edward's words, it could be seen that this young man's assessment results were obviously outstanding. Otherwise, there was no need to apply for the fastest Martial Artist Card for him.
Genius!
This was the only word in the staff member's heart.
He nodded and led Andrew into a room to apply for the Martial Artist Card.

Chapter 17: An Ultimate Powerhouse?
Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL
Half an hour later, the staff of the Martial Arts Administration delivered the Martial Artist Card.
Andrew opened it and took a look.
On it was his name, an inch-long photo, and a steel seal of the "Martial Arts Administration." Behind the martial arts level, the words "Third grade" were written.
Ordinary people who passed the assessment would only receive a first-grade card.
There was almost no one like Andrew who directly received a third-grade Martial Artist Card.
However, Andrew didn't care about the grade of his Martial Artist Card.
As long as he had a card that could be used, it would be enough.
When Andrew left the Martial Arts Administration, Edward personally sent him off.
"Thank you, Edward. If it weren't for you, I reckon I would have to make another trip tomorrow."
Andrew thanked him.
If it were any other fighter, even if they passed the assessment, it would be difficult for them to get a Martial Artist Card on the same day. Had it not been for Edward's help, he wouldn't have been able to get the card until tomorrow or the day after.
"You don't have to thank me for such a small matter."
Edward waved his hand.
After all, he was a member of the Martial Arts Administration. Such a small matter was indeed not worth mentioning.
Moreover, to be able to build a good relationship with this new genius, other people would also choose to be as friendly as him.
"Edward, help me thank Chief Charles. He is really a good person. If it weren't for him going easy on me, I might not have been able to pass the assessment. After all, my battle techniques... are still too weak."
Andrew made up his mind that he would definitely train the Nine-layered Thunder Blade properly next.
When the time came, the Lightning Blade Qi would be 90 meters long, and his combat strength would be increased tenfold. He would definitely be able to defeat Chief Charles when he was at the same level.
However, the biggest problem now was...
Having a full stomach.
Andrew somewhat missed the days when he lived with Annie.
At least he didn't have to worry about three meals a day.
"I still have 17 yuan on me. A hamburger set meal is 12 yuan. I'll only have 5 yuan left...
"If I take a taxi back, I'll be left with nothing."
Planning out the things he should do next, Andrew looked at the time on his phone.
"It's already 2:30?
"No wonder I feel hungry. Let's go eat first, then see if there are any missions to make money."
...
The Martial Arts Administration.
On the second floor, Chief Charles'office.
Charles stood by the window and watched Andrew leave. A hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.
Edward walked over and repeated what Andrew had said.
Charles's face turned red. He coughed twice and said, "This kid is quite interesting."
He had been forced by Andrew to unleash the strength of a peak fourth stage martial artist. He had even released his Blood Qi.
After all, he was a seventh-grade warrior, and the quality of his Blood Qi was far higher than that of an ordinary fourth-grade warrior. In terms of power, even a fifth-grade warrior could hardly resist Andrew's punch.
Edward couldn't help but say, "Chief Charles, maybe... he didn't notice at all?"
Didn't notice?
Charles was stunned.
It was really possible.
After all, when he was 18 years old, he was still doing physical exercises. He hadn't even seen a mid-grade martial artist.
In the end, Andrew was still a child. No matter how abnormal his talent was, he didn't have actual combat experience.
It could be vaguely seen from his blade technique.
Immature!
If it were him, even an eighth-grade martial artist would have to dodge this knife when it was used.
Therefore, when he burst out with the strength of a fighter of the peak of the fourth rank, Andrew might not have noticed it.
"Oh right, where's Andrew's personal information?"
"I put it in the assessment room, but there's computer data at the front desk. I'll ask them to send a copy over."
Edward replied. After pondering for a moment, he asked again, "Chief Charles, could it be that... there's something wrong with Andrew?"
"Edward, you're also a fighter of the fourth stage. Can you release your Blade Qi as easily as he did?"
"I... can't."
Chief Charles returned to his seat and crossed his hands, saying, "In the cultivation of martial arts, only those who have reached the middle stages can release their power, such as Blood Qi, Blade Qi, Sword Qi, and so on... And only fighters of the fifth grade and above can release their power freely.
"That Andrew only has the strength of the third grade, but he can release his Blade Qi with a single slash."
Charles didn't finish his words.
He was afraid of hurting Edward's confidence.
With Andrew's ten-meter-long Blade Qi and the power of lightning, if it wasn't for his strong Blood Qi, Charles would definitely be caught off guard.
At that time, he would really be embarrassed.
Soon, Andrew's personal information was sent to the office computer.
"As expected, I didn't remember wrongly. This Andrew is a student of Martial Arts Training High School No. 3. According to the investigation, he didn't have any martial arts cultivation before. In the talent test, he was even judged as trash with zero martial arts talent!"
Edward's eyes lit up.
He lowered his voice and said, "Chief Charles, you mean... Andrew is related to that Ultimate realm powerhouse yesterday?"
"Yes."
Charles nodded and said with some emotion, "Ultimate... Ultimate techniques are really hard to imagine. They can actually allow a person without any martial arts cultivation or talent to reach the third-grade realm within a short period. They can even teach such a terrifying blade technique!"
Ultimate battle technique!
Charles had a deep impression of that blade technique.
Only, he had never seen an Ultimate expert, much less an Ultimate battle technique.
However, Ultimate realm powerhouses could be hailed as the strongest on earth. In the hearts of martial artists, they were comparable to gods. For them, achieving such a feat didn't seem too difficult.

Chapter 18: A Child Who Had Just Come of Age!
Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL
Andrew randomly found a fast-food restaurant.
He ordered a Big Mac meal, and while waiting for the order, a video call came over.
The caption was "Little Cutie."
Little Cutie?
Andrew accepted the video call.
On the other end, a little girl dressed in an unconventional outfit appeared with a face full of joy. "Darling, where are you?"
"..."
Andrew was stunned.
Who was this?
She looked quite beautiful, but her outfit clearly showed a little delinquent who did not go to school properly.
Moreover, when she opened her mouth and said 'Darling,' who could stand it?
He did not know why he had labeled her as 'Little Cutie.'
However, the next moment, Andrew suddenly reacted.
Annie had once said that he had hooked up with a little girl in middle school.
Middle school?
Little Cutie?
Girlfriend?
He blinked as the memories of this little girl gradually surfaced.
Third Martial Arts Training Middle School, grade three, class one, Catherine.
Andrew felt a headache and immediately replied, "I'm eating outside. Where are you?"
"I'm in the school toilet."
Catherine changed the direction of the camera and started pointing at the surroundings.
Fortunately, Andrew quickly covered the phone screen.
He vaguely saw a few girls coming and going at the entrance of the toilet.
"Dear, I heard about what happened in school today. You're amazing!"
Catherine looked infatuated and said excitedly, "Now, many people are talking about you. They say that you're a rare genius in Massachusetts. Many people in our class know about my relationship with you, so they all came to me to ask for your autograph.
"But I rejected them all. I will not share my beloved with others."
"Oh!" Andrew said casually. What was the point of a group of high school students?
He was about to enter the university. However, the next second, Andrew's eyes lit up.
Catherine continued, "I also heard that the school's leaders are going crazy. Two deans were almost beaten to death by the principal. They said that they would pay any price to invite you back to the school. Even the leaders of the other schools want to invite you to their schools to take the entrance exam."
Andrew smiled and found an excuse to hang up.
He could not help but laugh.
When Martial Arts Training High School No. 3 wanted to expel him, they definitely did not think that this day would come.
As for other schools, this kind of action was very typical.
After all, he was now a hundred times more abnormal than a genius like Annie.
If he went to other schools and was specially recruited by the top ten universities, it was undoubtedly the most practical way for these schools to promote themselves.
"In that case, I'll go home and wait. Someone will send the money over anyway."
After eating, Andrew took a taxi and was ready to go home.
Just as he returned to his own building, two figures suddenly pounced out from the side.
Dean O'Neill howled and knelt in front of Andrew.
"Andrew, you have to save me. I was muddle-headed when I expelled you. As long as you are willing to come back, the school will give you a scholarship of 500,000 yuan. I will also personally take out 100,000 yuan to pay for your emotional distress.
"I have a 70-year-old mother and a child who just entered kindergarten. If I am fired from the school, I won't be able to feed my family!"
The other dean, Victor, also pleaded, "Andrew, come back to the school. The students in Class 6 are all thinking of you."
As he said that, he looked to the side and gave a look.
A girl walked out from the side.
It was Dora.
Dora was wearing light makeup and shorts. There was a deep groove on her chest as she bent her body and moved closer to Andrew.
The smell of cheap perfume wafted into his nose.
Seeing Andrew frown, Dora was not angry. When she thought of her teacher's pleas and Andrew's performance in the martial arts assessment today, her heart suddenly became hot.
It was not important whether she practiced martial arts or not as long as she served such a genius well.
"Andrew, you are so outstanding.
"Didn't you want to pursue me before? I agree.
"Oh right, the two Deans did not mean to expel you. Please forgive them."
Hehe.
Andrew was amused by the words of the three people.
He didn't even look at Dora. Instead, he stared at Dean O'Neill and sneered, "High, really high!
"Dean O'Neill, you are a leader of the school. How dare you instruct a student to seduce a child who's barely an adult?"
Dean O'Neill widened his eyes.
What was that?
What did he mean by "instructed"?
Although he did find Dora, he only asked her to drag him back to school. He didn't say anything else.
Besides, you're already 18 years old, and you skip classes every day in school. How can you say that you're a child who just came of age?
"You guys go. I won't return to No. 3 High School. If you continue to pester me, don't blame me for chopping you!"
The two deans looked troubled and stood in place hesitantly.
When Andrew saw that the trio still hadn't left, he picked up the case behind him and placed it across his chest, as if he was ready to take out the blade.
"A composite metal battle blade?"
Although Victor was only a first-grade warrior, he was old enough to have seen many things.
He recognized what was in the scabbard at a glance.
When Dora heard these words, her heart burned even more fervently.
Report chapter Comments
Chapter 19: Someone Had Sent Money
Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL
Even a C-grade composite metal blade would cost more than 100,000.
Moreover, just by looking at the scabbard's exquisite workmanship, it was obvious that what was inside was not the ordinary C-grade blade.
"Are you still not leaving? Don't blame me for making a move!"
O'Neill's heart sank.
Victor also had a bitter look on his face. The two exchanged a look and left dejectedly.
Needless to say, both of them must have the same thought in their hearts.
It's over!
We're going to lose our jobs this time!
Moreover, firing a genius like Andrew would definitely spread throughout Massachusetts. As his reputation gradually rose, the two of them would definitely become the target of ridicule.
As for Dora, she was still somewhat unwilling to give up.
In the past, many boys had pursued her, Andrew being one of them. However, she had never looked at these people. Only a second-grade fighter would catch her eye.
But who would have thought that Andrew would actually be a rare genius in a hundred years?
"Andrew... There's no one at home today."
She bit her lip, and her body carelessly pressed against Andrew's right arm.
She had already made preparations before she came.
"Get lost!"
Andrew pushed Dora away.
He looked down on this kind of woman.
Without looking back, he entered the house and slammed the door shut.
Dora covered her face, which had a hint of regret, and silently walked away.
...
After Andrew returned home, he boiled a pot of water and made a cup of coffee. Sitting in front of the computer, he opened the forum and began to search for information about the "wilderness area."
"The spiritual essence has recovered, and the human body has undergone tremendous changes...
"Since even humans who have always lived comfortably are like this, the animals who survive with the laws of the jungle have evolved even more terrifyingly!
"Since the spiritual essence recovery, countless terrifying demon beasts were born in just a few years. The demon beasts formed a beast tide that swept across the world, causing the once prosperous cities to fall. Some backward countries were even occupied by them.
"More importantly, these demon beasts have a strong intuition. They can avoid the nuclear bomb's core attack range in advance. Moreover, a small number of demon beasts can actually survive in the nuclear radiation and even become more powerful...
"The humans were constantly oppressed until the birth of an Ultimate powerhouse..."
Andrew looked at the information in the forum and saw a short and tragic history.
From 1990 onwards, when the spiritual essence was restored, human beings were no longer at the top of the food chain. In 2003, in just 13 years, the population of the world had dropped by 2 billion.
Until 2003, the surviving countries successively produced Ultimate masters who entered the wilderness to kill the Demon Beast Kings. They reached some kind of agreement with the Demon Beast Kings, which gradually made the life of human beings more stable.
The Demon Beast Kings and Ultimate experts did not come out any longer, but the other demonic beasts... continued to rampage!
Over the years, countless warriors had entered the wilderness and killed demonic beasts. Innumerable people had lost their lives in the stomachs of demonic beasts. They were fueled by not only the reward given by the Martial Arts Administration, but it was also for the survival of the human race!
For this goal, the human race worked together.
The universities' martial arts departments taught battle techniques, teaching martial artists ways to fight demonic beasts more efficiently. The universities' art departments studied the weaknesses and habits of demonic beasts so that humans could kill them as soon as possible.
However, it was simply impossible to get rid of demonic beasts at this stage.
It was precisely because demonic beasts were powerful that many humans with evil intentions colluded with demonic beasts, hoping to cooperate with them from the inside out and destroy humans' hard-earned stable lives.
Andrew silently clenched his fists.
"If I can obtain strengthening points by defeating martial artists, then defeating the demon beasts... or killing them should award me strengthening points as well."
Andrew's eyes lit up. These things had to be put into motion to be confirmed.
There were too few ways to obtain strengthening points now. He couldn't even afford the props in the system shop, let alone use them to strengthen themselves.
At this moment, the doorbell rang.
Andrew opened the door and found three middle-aged men in suits standing outside.
Their ages are less than ten years apart, and they had different temperaments and figures. The only thing they had in common was their hairline... One in the middle even had the Mediterranean.
When the three saw Andrew open the door, they hurriedly introduced themselves.
"Hello, Andrew. I'm the principal of No. 1 Martial Arts Training High School, Carrie Ward."
"I'm the principal of No. 2 High School, Colbridge Webster."
The last person also smiled and said kindly, "I'm the dean of No. 4 High School, Eugene Phil."
Sure enough, successful men don't have too much hair. Andrew complained in his heart and then said to the visitors, "Principal Carrie, Principal Colbridge, please come in."
The two principals slowly walked inside.
The dean of the Fourth High School, Eugene, was about to follow them, but he was stopped by Andrew.
"Um..."
"Andrew, our fourth high school wants to invite you to our school to take the entrance exam. I'm here with sincerity."
Bang!
The door was directly closed by Andrew.
Sincerity?
Sincerity, my ass!
Other schools had their principal come personally, but your fourth high school sent a dean. How can this be called sincerity?

"Principal Carrie, Principal Colbridge, have a seat, please."
The group came to the living room. Andrew first exchanged a few pleasantries with the two principals.
Then, he went straight to the point. "I already know the purpose of your visit. Tell me about your conditions... Now, even if I don't take the college entrance examination, I can easily enter the top five universities."
The two principals naturally knew this.
Such a genius, not to mention the top five, he could even choose the top three universities at random.
Andrew directly expressed his attitude. There was no need to waste time on this kind of thing.
Anyway, he was just transferring his student status and hanging the name of a school. As for how the school would use him as a publicity tool, these things were not his to consider.
"Alright!" First High School's Principal Carrie said, "Andrew, since you've made it clear, we won't say any polite words.
"As long as you're willing to come to our first high school to participate in the entrance examinations, we will allocate 1 million cash from the education fund as your scholarship. When the time comes, you'll only need to participate in one or two interviews."
He then looked at Principal Colbridge. The two of them had known each other for many years.
"Principal Colbridge, we don't have to hide anything. If your school has any conditions, just say it out. Everyone will compete fairly."
Cough, cough.
Principal Colbridge pretended to cough twice. Their school leaders had already held a meeting.
They could offer the same scholarship as the first high school, which was 1,000,000.
However, he could still add some benefits to it personally. So, he winked at Andrew and said, "Andrew, can we talk at the side?"
"There's no need." Andrew waved his hand and answered directly, "Principal Colbridge, I'm sorry. I've decided to participate in the entrance exam at the first high school."
Principal Carry's face lit up.
Principal Colbridge felt incredulous and said doubtfully, "Andrew, you haven't even heard our conditions. We are also willing to fork out one million..."
Hehe.
Andrew smiled faintly and pretended to apologize, "I'm sorry, Principal Colbridge. I like straightforward people. Moreover... your hairline is a little too high."
It was not just high; Principal Colbridge was already the Mediterranean.
In less than two years, there would not even be a single strand of hair left on his head.
Colbridge's expression changed. He snorted coldly, slammed the door, and left.
Principal Carrie secretly touched his hair...
His hairline also seemed to be quite high, but compared to Principal Colbridge, it was still much better.
Headmaster Carrie's joy appeared on his face. "Andrew, since you have agreed, we will go and handle the transfer of the school. I will immediately inform the school to transfer the money to your card."
"Sure."
Andrew nodded and said, "But I don't have a credit card yet. I'm afraid I have to go to the bank to get one first."
Soon, he got the bank card without any surprises.
Just as Andrew was getting it done, Principal Carrie had already called the person in charge of the school's education funds.
When the bank card was successfully processed, there was an additional one million US dollars in it.
This was the first time Andrew was so rich.
Except for the B-grade composite metal blade. After all, it was given to him by Annie, so he couldn't just sell it.
The next moment.
"Ding!"
In his mind, a crisp system notification sounded.
Andrew quickly calmed down and looked at the system interface.
His face immediately darkened. His strengthening points had increased.
Although this was something worth being happy about, Andrew could not find it in himself to feel joyful.
His strengthening points had increased by exactly 100 points.
He did not need to think to know how he got his strengthening points.
This was too much of a scam...
1,000,000 USD and only 100 strengthening points?
10,000 to 1. With this ratio, even if he was a billionaire, he could only increase his strengthening points by 1,000 points.
"Sigh. I can only consider it as an additional way of earning strengthening points."
Andrew turned his head and smiled at Principal Carrie. "Principal Carrie, I am now considered a student of the first high school. However, recently, many university teachers have come to talk to me. In order not to disturb the other students, I will stay at home for a period."
"Of course."
Principal Kelly readily agreed. "But, you have to come and prepare for the interview when the time comes."
"Okay.
"You can set the time and inform me in advance."
Watching Principal Carrie drive away, Andrew stood at the bank's entrance and thought about his next plan.
Should he stay at home and cultivate?
He dismissed this idea. He could cultivate the Infinite Innate Skill at home, but the Nine-layered Thunder Blade could not be practiced there.
The Blade Qi would shoot out at any time. And in less than two days, he would have to move to another place.
Moreover, he now wanted to obtain a large number of strengthening points to improve his cultivation.
It seemed that there was only one way left...
"Hunt demon beasts!"
Andrew quickly made a plan.
Hunting demon beasts would provide him demon beast materials. For warriors, this was the fastest way to earn money besides robbing. In addition, they could also receive missions from the Martial Arts Administration, so it was a win-win situation.
Furthermore, if he could obtain strengthening points by defeating warriors, then hunting these demon beasts that were more ferocious had every probability of yielding strengthening points!

Chapter 21: Professional Killers!
Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL
"Phew, is it that late already?"
Andrew looked at the time. It was 5:27. The sky had started to darken.
If he wanted to go to the wilderness to hunt demonic beasts, it was obviously not a place where he could enter on a whim.
Right now, he only had a B-grade composite metal blade.
And he only knew one Nine-layered Thunder Blade.
As for what kind of demonic beasts were in the wilderness and whether there were other hidden dangers, he knew nothing.
"In short, I'll go back first and collect information about the wilderness on the forum."
Most of the information in the warrior forum was free.
After all, every martial artist would enter the wilderness at some point. Sometimes, with an additional piece of information, the probability of survival would be higher. Only some secret information or martial arts techniques would be posted with a price.
However, the martial arts techniques on the forum were too basic.
To Andrew, these martial arts techniques could be read but not learned.
Half an hour later, Andrew walked downstairs.
Just as he was about to walk into the courtyard, he vaguely felt that something was amiss. He raised his head to look at the house and then stepped back.
Two men with calm expressions stood outside the apartment.
One was fat while the other was thin. Despite it being the summer, they were both dressed in black.
There was also a faint smell of blood on their bodies.
Martial artists!
And their strength was definitely not weak.
Andrew was shocked as he estimated the strength of the two men.
The thin one was almost as strong as Will, the recruitment teacher of the New York State University branch.
And the fat one gave him the same feeling as Edward.
He was at least a fighter of the fourth grade!
Ever since the energy storm yesterday, more and more fighters had come to the area.
Andrew didn't pay too much attention to it and walked straight back to the apartment.
"Gray Wolf, are you sure that the target lives here?"
"Of course. I saw her come out of here yesterday, and I've confirmed that this is her brother's house."
"Annie, a first-year student of Boston University's martial arts department. Peak third-grade cultivation. Both her parents are dead. Her brother's name is Andrew. It's said that he's a trash with zero martial arts talent."
The fatty named Gray Wolf recounted the information he had obtained in detail.
"Peak third-grade martial artist. What a genius."
The seemingly skinny martial artist stuck out his tongue and licked his lips. A cold light flashed in his narrowed eyes. He sneered and said, "Killing such a genius martial artist will definitely cause quite a stir."
"Black Wolf."
The fat warrior, "Gray Wolf", lowered his voice and said, "Act after dark and try to kill her in one stroke. After you succeed, immediately escape from Boston. Don't have any other thoughts.
"That Annie is a student of Boston University. Once it's discovered that it was the two of us who did it, it will bring about big trouble."
"What are you afraid of?" Black Wolf said indifferently.
He was a peak third-grade martial artist and was only a step away from the fourth grade.
As long as a fourth-grade martial artist didn't meet a sixth-grade martial artist or above, they were almost invincible.
After all, if they wanted to escape, even a fifth-grade martial artist would find it hard to catch up.
"Even if we are wanted by the Martial Arts Administration, so what?
"At most, we two brothers will go to Grandmaster Wuji."
Gray Wolf fell silent.
Grandmaster Wuji was an anti-human seventh-grade martial artist, and he was also the employer of this operation. It was said that Annie had killed one of his disciples.
Although Grey Wolf was an assassin and relied on this to earn money, it didn't mean that he wanted to oppose humanity.
If it really came to that...
"Alright, I'll listen to you this time."
Gray Wolf agreed with Black Wolf. They had too many criminal records. If the Martial Arts Administration found out, they would have to spend the rest of their lives in prison.
In that case, they might as well take the risk.
"We'll move after dark. Let's go eat first."
The two figures flashed and disappeared from the lawn in the yard.
...
In the apartment room.
Andrew sat in front of the computer, eating spaghetti while looking at the information about the wilderness.
He had already browsed more than half of the posts about the level, classification, and weaknesses of the beasts.
Two to three hours had passed in just one reading session.
Stretching his back, Andrew closed the posts he had read before.
The forum's homepage, which he couldn't access before, seemed to have opened for him.
Even his personal information had changed from a guest to a third-grade fighter.
Andrew clicked on the 'trading page'.
Inside, there were trading posts for weapons, battle outfits, demon beast materials, and precious medicinal herbs.
As for martial arts and combat techniques, he had to add the person who posted it and have a private chat.
Andrew casually browsed through the list.
There was a C-grade battle suit on sale, but the price was too high, as high as 1.8 million.
Moreover, the style was too ugly, so Andrew didn't fancy it.
He was about to post a "Buy battle suit" thread, but when the content was edited to the standard, the doorbell suddenly rang.
"Didn't sister say that she would be back tomorrow?
"Has the matter with the school been settled?"
He walked out of the bedroom and was about to open the door...
But a sense of crisis suddenly surged in his heart.
The next moment, Andrew felt an intense burst of Blood Qi.
Not good!
He muttered in his heart and dodged to the side.
A "boom" shook the silent night.
The door was directly blasted open by the huge Blood qi power. Two black-clothed warriors holding composite metal daggers rushed in.
"Huh?"
"It's not Annie?"
The moment the two warriors saw Andrew, they were stunned.
The chubby fighter, Gray Wolf, reacted quickly, "It's Annie's brother, Andrew!"
"I don't care. Kill him first!"
Black Wolf held his dagger tightly and stabbed at Andrew.
Gray Wolf stopped him.
"Wait! The employer's target is Annie. We won't get any reward even if we kill him. Instead, we'll alert the people from the Martial Arts Administration. How about we catch him? Annie will definitely come out then."

The duo did not hide their faces, nor did they want to conceal their identities.
After all, with their strength, the idea of failing never occurred to them.
Black Wolf thought for a moment and nodded.
According to Gray Wolf's information, the martial arts genius Annie's brother was just a trash.
Even if he killed him, it would be the same as killing an ordinary person.
There was no sense of accomplishment.
The two of them did not even look at Andrew from the beginning to the end.
In their opinion, a person who could not become a martial artist posed no threat to them.
Even if he were to make a move, would he be able to hurt them?
"They... want to kill Annie?"
Andrew's pupils constricted.
Assassins!
Moreover, they were hired by someone.
In the blink of an eye, Andrew went through the current situation in his mind.
The scabbard was on the sofa. The two warriors in black had rushed in and could not see the scabbard.
Andrew reached out his hand and grabbed the blade. His magic power condensed and the scabbard directly shook open.
A B-grade composite metal blade was held tightly in his hand.
Black Wolf and Gray Wolf frowned. They vaguely felt that something was wrong.
Didn't they say that he was a trash with zero martial arts talent?
Why was he holding a B-grade blade? He was richer than the two professional killers!
"Tell me who your employer is, and I might be able to let you off," Andrew said.
These two were dead for sure today. However, in order to find out who was targeting Annie, he deliberately gave them a choice.
A choice to live.
"Huh?"
"You?"
The two took a step back and stared at Andrew.
Especially Black Wolf. He cursed and said in a low voice, "Gray Wolf, is this the information you collected? This kid is at least a third-grade martial artist. Is this a realm that can be reached by someone without any martial arts talent?"
Third-grade martial artist!
Add a B-grade composite metal blade on top.
If Annie was here, it wouldn't be so easy for the two of them to quickly finish the battle.
But if there was only one...
Black Wolf looked at the blade in Andrew's hand and narrowed his eyes. He said greedily, "Since your information was wrong, this blade will belong to me after the battle."
Gray Wolf didn't say anything. It could be considered as a silent agreement.
Andrew shook his head. It seemed that these two people had not seen the situation clearly.
Black Wolf and Gray Wolf shouted at the same time and rushed forward.
However, an unexpected scene happened.
The B-grade blade glowed with silver light and flashed with bolts of lightning.
Just as the duo was frowning, a huge Blade Qi suddenly erupted and directly chopped down at the two of them.
The ten-meter-long Lightning Blade Qi covered the entire living room.
Gray Wolf and Black Wolf, two professional killers, felt their hair stand on end. The uneasiness in their hearts grew stronger and stronger. They unleashed their peak strength together, hoping that they could block this blade.
However, everything was in vain.
The Blade Qi slashed down, and Gray Wolf was directly split into two.
He stared straight at Andrew, his eyes full of doubt. He was a peak third-grade fighter, but he was gone just like that?
Black Wolf, who had just entered the fourth-grade, barely managed to block the blade.
However, his right arm was crushed.
"You actually... mastered the Blade Qi!"
He felt his entire body go numb, and even his thoughts were somewhat sluggish.
Boom!
The entire apartment seemed to shake.
The residents living below Andrew particularly felt the shaking. The two jumped for cover, shivering.
My house!
Andrew cried out in pain in his heart.
It was fine if the door was broken by the two of them.
However, the living room was almost destroyed by him with a single slash.
It was these two dead ghosts who insisted on coming to him.
The most important thing was that they wanted to kill Annie!
Andrew's eyes were red as he looked at Black Wolf, who was struggling to get up. His face was full of anger. "Tell me, who hired you, and where is he?"
Black Wolf's eyes were dull as he kneeled on the floor and twitched.
He opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but his body fell forward. The man had died.
"..."
Andrew was stunned.
Playing dead?
Andrew raised his blade and aimed at Black Wolf's thigh.
A centipede-sized wound started to bleed.
But the man still didn't make a sound. Even his body didn't have any reaction.
"He's really dead?"
Andrew held the blade in his right hand and stretched his left hand to Black Wolf's throat.
There was no pulse.
Andrew was finally sure that Black Wolf was dead. He couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief and sat on the ground.
"I keep feeling that something is strange.
"This assassin called Black Wolf should have the strength of a fourth-grade martial artist and that Gray Wolf should be at the peak of the third grade. However, even with their combined strength, they weren't able to block my blade."
Andrew suddenly thought of Chief Charles.
He couldn't help but feel a sense of respect.
"As expected of the chief of the Boston Martial Arts Administration, a Grandmaster of the seventh grade. Despite suppressing his strength to the third grade, he was able to easily deal with my attack."
"Ding!"
"Congratulations, Host. You have killed a martial artist of the third grade. Reward: 100 strengthening points."
"Congratulations, Host. You have killed a martial artist of the fourth grade. Reward: 300 strengthening points."
The sound of two consecutive system notifications rang out in his mind.
Andrew's eyes lit up.
The strengthening points obtained from killing martial artists of one level higher were almost ten times more than those obtained from defeating martial artists of the same level!
If he were to kill a large number of martial artists...
Andrew was shocked by the sudden thought.
Black Wolf and Gray Wolf were both extremely vicious killers. Although he had acted against them for the sake of Annie, he could be considered to have eliminated evil for the people.
Even if I want to get more points, I can only kill those who deserve it.
He said silently in his heart.

Andrew picked up the two alloy daggers on the ground.
One was C-grade while the other was B-grade. Although they were not as valuable as his own blade, they were still worth 700,000 to 800,000 dollars on the forum.
Andrew's mood slightly improved.
Just the two daggers were enough for him to change to a new apartment.
He also found a few thousand in cash, two cell phones, and two bank cards from the assassins.
The bank cards were brand new, and there was a note on the back with a string of numbers. It should be the bank card's password.
This should be the deposit paid by their employer.
Andrew put the two bank cards in his pocket.
"Ding!"
"Congratulations, Host, you have obtained 200 strengthening points."
Andrew's eyes moved.
In other words, the deposit in the two bank cards was about 2 million?
It seemed that their employer was quite wealthy.
Just as Andrew was tidying up the living room, the nearby police officers rushed in. After seeing the tragic scene, they frowned and looked at the only living person at the scene, Andrew.
"Please put your hands where we can see them, sir."
"These two are professional killers. You'd better let the people from the Martial Arts Administration take charge of them. I'm not sure if they have any other companions."
The police officers on duty looked at each other and exchanged glances.
Judging from the scene, only martial artists could cause such extensive damage.
The police really couldn't care less about matters involving martial artists.
Soon, the people from the Martial Arts Administration arrived on the scene.
There were four people in total, and one of them was Edward, whom Andrew had just met today.
"Andrew, are you okay?"
Edward had an anxious look on his face. After hearing about the situation, the first thing he thought of was Andrew, who lived here.
Some anti-human organizations liked to pick on geniuses who had yet to grow up.
He was afraid that Andrew had also encountered this kind of potential danger.
However, Andrew's face was calm. "Fortunately, these two people should be martial artists who have not received formal teaching. Despite having their high grades in martial arts, they could not display the corresponding strength. They were killed by me with one slash."
He thought for a moment and added, "Their target seems to be my sister, Annie. Judging from their conversation, they should be employed by someone. I wanted to keep one alive so that he could tell me about their employer. Unfortunately, they could not even withstand one strike."
Edward's originally worried mood instantly became worse. He really wanted these two assassins to teach this brat a lesson.
However, these words could only remain in his heart.
"Andrew, don't worry. Our Martial Arts Administration will definitely do our best to investigate this matter."
As he said this, he smiled again. "However, these two assassins didn't investigate your sister's strength? With this level of skill, they still dare to find trouble with your sister?"
Annie.
The peak of the third stage.
This was something that everyone in the Martial Arts Administration knew.
After all, she was a famous genius in Boston.
And these two assassins, who were killed by Andrew with one slash, were obviously not experts.
They were probably only at the first or second grade.
"Captain Edward."
At this time, a staff member of the Martial Arts Administration walked over with a solemn expression and said in a low voice, "The identities of the two dead people have been investigated. They are both professional assassins, codenamed Black Wolf and Gray Wolf.
"They are confirmed to be at the peak of the third grade, and it is rumored that Black Wolf broke through to the fourth grade not long ago. These two have committed five or six major crimes and have never been caught."
"What?"
"They are Black Wolf and Gray Wolf?"
Edward was shocked. He knew this duo very well. The Martial Arts Administration had always wanted the two of them, but they were both professionals with strength. It was impossible to find them if they were hiding.
Just a while ago, they had robbed a fourth-grade martial artist and killed the whole family of three.
A peak third-grade martial artist and a fourth-grade martial artist...
Were they killed by Andrew with one slash?
"Something's wrong!"
"Are you sure you guys aren't mistaken?"Andrew scratched the back of his head, very surprised. "Are they that strong?"
...
"What?"
"Peak third-grade and fourth-grade?"
"Two professional assassins who tried to assassinate Annie were killed by Andrew in one strike?"
In the chief's office of the Martial Arts Administration.
Chief Charles was silent for a moment.
Edward continued, "Chief Charles, their corpses are here. Do you want to take a look?"
"No need."
Chief Charles sighed. "I know the power of Andrew's blade. If it was in a wide area, the two killers could still rely on their speed to deal with it. But in a narrow area like the living room, it would be too difficult for them to block his blade."
Even after a few hours, the elegance of that blade strike was still profoundly engraved in Chief Charles's mind.
He shook his head and said slowly, "Edward, there's no need to investigate this matter. I heard that half a month ago, when Annie was on a mission, she killed a disciple of the evil grandmaster, Wuji. The one who hired the two assassins is Wuji."
"Grandmaster Wuji?"
When Edward heard this name, he was stunned on the spot.
Evil warriors were no different from those anti-human fighters.
They killed for fun and bullied the weak without any sympathy.
Just like the anti-human extremist organizations, they wandered in the wilderness. With the protection of the demon beasts, the governments of various countries had no way to get rid of them.
"Since they are evil warriors, they will definitely not let it go. I will tell Andrew and Annie to be careful."

Chapter 24: System Lucky Draw!
Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL
Andrew had already moved to a hotel not far from the apartment.
His blade had torn apart the living room, so it shouldn't be able to accommodate anyone for the time being. The heating circuit and other things needed to be repaired, and it would probably take three to five days.
"A cult?"
"Grandmaster Wuji?"
"Eighth-grade realm!"
After hanging up the phone, Andrew's face gradually darkened.
Even the chief of the Martial Arts Administration was only at the seventh-grade. If that evil grandmaster named Wuji came looking for him, he wouldn't have any chance to resist.
With his current strength, there was no way he could protect Annie.
"Become stronger!
"Only by becoming stronger can I protect the person I want to protect."
Andrew opened the system interface.
[Name: Andrew Doyle
[Age: 18 years old
[Identity: Martial Arts Training High School No. 3 student
[Cultivation Realm: Qi Formation Second Grade ()
[Cultivation Technique: Nine-layered Thunder Blade, Infinite Innate Skill ()
[Strengthening Points: 730 Points
[System Store: Opened
[Lucky Draw: 100 strengthening points for one lucky draw
[Storage Space: 1 cubic meter ()
"730 strengthening points..."
In the beginning, he had defeated a few recruitment teachers and obtained a total of 30 strengthening points.
The scholarship from the first high school was 1,000,000, which meant 100 strengthening points.
After killing Black Wolf and Gray Wolf, he got 400 strengthening points.
Adding on the two bank cards that he had found on them, the total sum came to be 730 strengthening points...
"Previously, I used 300 strengthening points to upgrade my cultivation to the second level of the Qi Formation realm. If I want to advance it to the third level, I'm afraid I'll need at least 500 strengthening points.
"Forget it!
"If I want to upgrade my cultivation, I might as well upgrade my blade technique first!"
Andrew gritted his teeth and chose to upgrade his Nine-layered Thunder Blade.
"Ding!"
"Ding!"
"Your Nine-layered Thunder Blade has been upgraded to the second level. Strengthening points -300."
"Continue to upgrade..."
"Ding!"
"Insufficient strengthening points."
"As expected, upgrading the Nine-layered Thunder Blade to the third stage should also require 500 points."
Andrew was a little disappointed.
His points were too low now. He could only selectively upgrade his strength.
If he could advance the Nine-layered Thunder Blade to the third stage, he would be able to cast a 30-meter-long Lightning Blade Qi. Once he slashed out, the Blade Qi would be ten stories high. What a magnificent scene it would be.
"However, the 20-meter-long Lightning Blade Qi should be enough for now."
Andrew looked at his remaining 430 strengthening points.
If he had 70 more strengthening points...
Without any hesitation, he would immediately choose to strengthen his cultivation or the Nine-layered Thunder Blade.
But since it was not enough... he could only draw the lottery.
Andrew washed his hands first and looked at the system lottery interface again.
"Ding!"
"Strengthening points -100. Lucky Draw activated."
"Congratulations, Host, you have obtained a tool: Thunder Talisman."
"Thunder Talisman: after using it, you can summon three bolts of thunder to attack."
In the system store, besides the "Invisibility Talisman," there was another "Thunder Talisman."
Andrew glanced at the price of the Thunder Talisman and was very satisfied.
In the system store, the Thunder Talisman was sold for 200 strengthening points. He had only spent 100 strengthening points to get it.
"Ding!"
"Strengthening points -100, Lucky Draw activated."
The second lucky draw began.
Andrew waited for almost a minute, but there was no system notification in his mind.
What the f*ck!
How could the system draw nothing?
At least, there should be a symbolic notification, such as "Thank you for your patronage", "Try harder next time", and so on.
He did not say a word. Who knew if there was a problem with the system or if he did not get anything.
There were still 230 strengthening points left.
Andrew gritted his teeth and continued.
"Ding!"
"Strengthening points -100. Lucky Draw activated."
About five seconds later.
Andrew's face was dark like the overcast sky as he complained, "There's nothing again. I've lost a lot this time."
There were only 130 strengthening points left.
"Ding!"
"Strengthening points -100. Lucky Draw activated."
After a short moment of hesitation, Andrew activated the lottery for one last time.
Drawing the lottery was an addictive thing.
Especially after losing consecutively, he would always think of earning back what he had lost the next time.
"Congratulations, you have obtained a Great Recovery Pill."
"Congratulations, you have obtained a cultivation technique: Innate Five-elements Infinite Escape Technique."
"..."
Andrew was shocked by the sudden surprise.
This lottery thing could even hit the jackpot?
He immediately looked at the Great Recovery Pill.
Great Recovery Pill: after consuming it, you can increase your cultivation by ten years.
The Great Recovery Pill was also listed in the system store, and the price tag was as high as 500 strengthening points!
He had made a huge profit!
Then, he looked at the cultivation technique that he had drawn.
Innate Five-elements Infinite Escape Technique: Heaven Immortal level cultivation technique!
Just looking at the grade of this cultivation technique made Andrew extremely excited.
Escape techniques, as the name implied, were used to cultivate movement techniques.
As long as he mastered this technique, he could go anywhere he wanted in this vast world.
Andrew did not hesitate and directly consumed the Great Recovery Pill that he had obtained.
In his body, his Qi surged, and his cultivation increased crazily. In just a few breaths' time, he reached the peak of the third grade of the Qi Formation from the second grade!
This was much faster than directly using the strengthening points to increase his cultivation.
Next, Andrew experienced the Innate Five-elements Infinite Escape Technique in his mind, but after studying it for a long time, he still had no clue.
"Forget it.
"Cultivation is too boring. It's better to directly advance it by earning strengthening points."
After his cultivation broke through to the third grade, his impulse of heading to the wilderness became more and more intense. He couldn't wait to head out right away.
The night was dark outside the window.
It was already late, so Andrew gave up on this idea. He turned on the hotel's computer and browsed through the news on the forum.

Chapter 25: Preparing to Head to the Wilderness Area
Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL
"Shocking news, professional killers Black Wolf and Gray Wolf failed and died in Boston!"
The latest post on the fighter forum caught Andrew's attention.
It had been less than half an hour, but it had already been spread by someone.
It was unknown whether the people from the Martial Arts Administration had deliberately spread the news to scare these people with ulterior motives or if there were other fighters nearby who witnessed all this.
Andrew opened the post.
The post only gave a rough description of the event. There was no mention of him killing the two assassins, and it exaggerated the damage caused nearby. It was obviously a post from the Martial Arts Administration.
Just below, someone commented, "I suspect that it's the chief of Boston's Martial Arts Administration, Charles, who made a move. Only he can easily dispatch two peak third-grade martial artists."
"You don't know this, right? Two days ago, there was an energy storm in Boston. Many people speculated that a ninth-grade martial artist broke through to the Ultimate realm!"
"Ultimate realm?"
"If Black Wolf and Gray Wolf really provoked an Ultimate powerhouse, then they deserved to die."
He continued to scroll down.
Everyone was discussing Boston's Ultimate realm expert who had appeared out of nowhere. No one suspected him.
"I thought my name as a genius would have spread all over the country, but it seems that it hasn't."
Andrew was a little disappointed.
It appeared that he was too arrogant. Perhaps he could be considered a genius in Massachusetts, but in a more prosperous city like Washington or New York, he might only be ordinary.
After buying some high-energy compressed food online, Andrew took a shower and lay back on the bed.
He closed his eyes and rested for a while. Just as he was about to go to sleep, his phone suddenly rang.
It was a video call from Annie.
After picking up the video call, Andrew spoke first, "Annie, what time is it? Why aren't you sleeping? Don't you know that if a woman stays up too late, her skin will age faster?
"I don't want to spend my life with a yellow-faced woman."
Andrew muttered the last sentence in a low voice, though.
However, Annie was, after all, a martial artist at the peak of the third grade. Her hearing was far more sensitive than an ordinary person's.
When she heard this sentence, her heart actually started beating faster.
The next moment, she reacted and cursed with a red face, "Bah, hooligan. Who wants to spend her life with you? I'm your sister!"
There was a chance?
Her reaction made Andrew happy, and he added, "What's wrong with that? We're not blood-related. I remember when I was young, someone said that they adopted me because they were afraid that no one would want me."
"That's not true!" Annie's face turned even redder. "Alright, I won't talk to you anymore. Rest early."
Du!
The video call ended.
"What's going on? Did she call just to talk about this?"
Andrew was a little speechless. Shouldn't they talk more about relationships?
However, before he could finish his thoughts, Annie called him again. This time, she said hurriedly, "Andrew, what's going on? I saw the posts on the forum. You seem to have met with some trouble there?
"Are you alright?"
After the mess from before, she almost forgot about the serious matter.
"I'm fine. The two assassins seem to have been discovered by the Martial Arts Administration. It's just that we might not be able to stay at home for the time being."
"It's good that you're alright."
When Annie received the news, she had already confirmed that nothing had happened to Andrew.
"Oh right, the teacher from Stanford University will be here in two days. I'll bring you to participate in the assessment."
After she ended the call, Annie's face suddenly turned cold.
Assassins?
And in their apartment?
It was likely that these two killers were looking for her.
...
The next morning, Andrew received the high-energy compressed food he bought from the fighter forum.
Before heading to the wilderness, Andrew also went to the supermarket.
Cumin.
Chili powder.
A small barbecue stove. Finally, he bought some barbecue iron sticks.
After paying the bill, he found an empty place and put all these things into the system's storage space.
In less than an hour, Andrew arrived at the city gate by car.
Now, in the wilderness, demonic beasts were rampant, and the human situation had changed greatly.
For example, India.
The original 1.4 billion people had been massacred by demonic beasts, leaving less than 100 million people.
Moreover, these survivors could not receive any help and were trapped in their homes that were already in ruins.
Countries that were not invaded by demonic beasts had set up high power grids one after another.
There were also many heavy weapons set up around the power grids. Although the damage to the demonic beasts was limited, they could restrict the demonic beasts' attacks through firepower and persevere until the martial artists came to rescue them.
Andrew jumped out of the taxi and walked to the entrance of the iron fence guarded by the army. He took out his Martial Artist Card.
The soldier checking his identification card was stunned. He cried out involuntarily, "Eighteen years old? A third-grade martial artist!"
Under his surprised and doubtful voice, the other staff members also surrounded him.
This was the first time they had seen such a young martial artist.
Shouldn't such a genius be accompanied by a teacher when he went to the wilderness?
After all, even a martial artist of the third grade would find it difficult to protect himself in the wilderness.
"Hello, is this your first time here?"
The staff member handed the Martial Artist Card back to Andrew and asked.
Andrew nodded.
"It's like this. Most of the demon beasts in the outskirts of the wilderness have the strength of a martial artist of the first grade. However, the deeper you go, the higher the strength of the demon beasts.
"In the wilderness, try to pay attention to the signs that haven't been destroyed. They can help you avoid a lot of danger."
The staff patiently explained to Andrew.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that as long as such a genius didn't die prematurely, he would become famous sooner or later. If there were any difficulties, he might even ask Andrew for help.

Chapter 26: Step Into the Wilderness
Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL
"Sigh, it's just a third-grade martial artist's license. They're too surprised."
Andrew sighed.
If it was in the forum, no one would make a fuss.
In the end, the strength here was too weak.
He stepped out of the electric fence and stepped into the wilderness.
Although there was a road, its sides were lined with weeds. Some dilapidated buildings were also covered with weeds.
There were danger signs erected on the road, showing that this was still the periphery of the wilderness area.
After walking along the road for a few hundred meters, a whistle sounded behind him. A clearly modified pickup truck stopped at the side. The window of the truck rolled down slowly, and a young warrior stuck his head out. He said in surprise, "Little brother, are you going to the wilderness alone?"
Andrew nodded.
The young warrior asked again, "Is this your first time?"
Seeing Andrew nod again, the young warrior could not help but praise, "Awesome!"
"Looking at your age, you should be only 20 years old, a sophomore?
"Are you a prospective fighter, or have you already become a warrior?
"This is your first time going to the wilderness. Didn't your teacher accompany you?"
This young martial artist didn't have any ill intentions.
Judging by the Blood Qi emitting from his body, one could roughly estimate his strength. He was only a martial artist of the second rank.
There were two other martial artists sitting in the car, and their strength was about the same as this young man's. Besides a few composite metal weapons in the pickup truck, there were also some guns, ammunition, and supplies.
"Where are you going? If It's on the way, we can go together."
The young warrior continued to chat with Andrew.
The bearded warrior who was driving was a little unhappy.
There was a scar on his face, and the hostility on his body was very strong. He frowned and said sternly, "John, what are you talking about with a stinky student? Since he's willing to die alone, just let him go. We have to get to golden town as soon as possible.
"Damn it, these students are really looking for trouble. How dare they run into the wilderness without any strength?"
After saying that, he stepped on the accelerator and drove away.
"These students?"
Andrew was deep in thought. Had there been students who came to the wilderness alone like him in the past?
But it was a pity that he couldn't catch a ride.
He didn't know where he was going, so he just wandered around the outskirts of the wilderness first.
For example, the three second-grade martial artists didn't seem to be worried at all in this area, which meant that the demonic beasts nearby weren't powerful.
The reason why demonic beasts were called "demons" was that apart from being strong, they also had some intelligence. They knew that the city where the human army was stationed was dangerous, so they avoided it. Therefore, it was considered a safe area within ten kilometers of the city for humans.
Except for some weaker demon beasts.
They had no concept of danger, so they could be spotted frequently on the outskirts of the wilderness.
"Huh?"
"This is... a park?"
After walking for more than an hour, Andrew suddenly stopped.
In front of him, there was a ruin.
None of the buildings inside were intact. On the half-collapsed door plate, the word "Park" could be vaguely seen. Inside, there was an artificial lake.
"East River Park!"
A name suddenly popped up in Andrew's mind.
Yesterday, when he was looking at the demon beasts' information, he had seen an article on East River Park.
During peacetime, in the man-made lake, to increase the publicity and attract tourists, crocodiles had been bred.
Later, when the spiritual essence recovered, the crocodiles evolved, eventually turning into terrifying giant crocodiles. It could be said that they were the strongest demon beasts within twenty kilometers outside Boston City!
Three years ago, when Charles first arrived in Boston's Martial Arts Administration, he came here to kill the crocodile demon.
At that time, he had just entered the Grandmaster realm.
The crocodile demon had the strength of a peak grade-six.
After a big battle, almost completely destroying East River Park, the crocodile demon escaped into the water. Only then did Chief Charles stop chasing it.
After all, once he entered the water, the outcome of the battle would become uncertain.
But more importantly, the crocodile demon was born with intelligence and lived in this artificial lake. It did not come out to do evil. Even a few warriors who were eaten by it had provoked it first.
According to some rumors, Chief Charles and the crocodile demon had reached some kind of agreement.
"A peak sixth-grade demon beast. If I kill it, how many strengthening points can I get..."
Andrew was a little tempted, but he quickly suppressed this thought.
He was not one of those idiots who came here to die. Three years ago, even Chief Charles could not do anything to this crocodile demon, let alone after three years.
This crocodile demon's strength had probably long reached the seventh-grade.
Andrew thought of the Heavenly Thunder Talisman.
He did not know how powerful this thing was. He had not tested it before. If it was powerful enough, he could buy dozens of them after he earned enough strengthening points. Imagine dozens of Thunder Talismans falling at the same time; would he still be afraid of the crocodile demon then?
"Let's find a place to scout the area around here first.
"I'm no match for the crocodile demon now. I can only wait for an opportunity later and try again."
Andrew retreated back to the highway.
He followed the signs on the roadside and found the location of golden town.
There was a large number of steel factories outside the town.
During peacetime, the residents of the town used to refine iron here. Now, it was abandoned, and no one came to these places.
Just as Andrew was about to enter the golden town, he heard an ear-piercing sound of an explosion. Andrew suddenly raised his head and looked at the sky.
A cannonball flew less than ten meters above his head, carrying a long tongue of fire. It exploded in the jungle about three hundred meters behind him.
Boom!
The earth shook, and the mountains trembled.
A huge monster seemed to have been hit by a bomb. It roared and rushed into the dilapidated town.

Chapter 27: Gale Fighter Squad

"I hit It!
"I've hit the Black Wind Ash Wolf. It's heavily injured and has rushed into the town!"
Not far from the side, on the roof of a rusted steel house, a strong and sturdy warrior jumped down with a rocket launcher on his shoulder.
Bang!
His feet directly cracked the cement floor.
The warrior carried the rocket launcher in one hand and ran towards the Golden Town in large strides. He spoke in his earpiece, "Fourth Brother, observe the Black Wind Ash Wolf's movements. Boss, Third Brother, don't attack yet. This bastard is injured. The longer we delay, the weaker it will be."
He glanced at Andrew. Then, he ran past him and continued towards the Golden Town.
Andrew recovered from his daze and touched his hair.
That was close. If the rocket had missed, he would have been blown into pieces.
To be honest, he was a little scared.
No wonder people on the forum said that the wilderness was teeming with danger. It not only included monsters but also these cold people.
Although they were not as bad as hired killers, they did not have any mercy for life.
To these people, entering the wilderness to eliminate the demon beasts was not for the revival of the human race.
It was all for themselves.
They would sell the demon beasts and obtain a high reward.
Andrew strode forward and chased after him.
What about him?
Andrew was almost killed here. Even if it was an unintentional act, that guy did not even say a word of apology?
Moreover, when he brushed past him just now, the gaze he threw at him...? There was even a hint of disdain?
The brawny martial artist was in third-grade. His Blood Qi was strong, and his aura was steady. Standing at almost two meters tall, his physique was burly. He had a rocket launcher on his shoulder and ran wildly without being affected in the slightest.
However...
When the guy turned his head, he found a young man with a backpack and a white-clothed blade on his waist following behind him. He couldn't help but glare and shout, "Kid, what are you doing?"
He cursed and said, "Get lost quickly. You're so young, yet you came to such a place to die? That's the Black Wind Ash Wolf, a peak fourth-grade demon beast. Even if it's injured, it's not something a kid like you can take advantage of."
He thought that Andrew was the same as the other warrior groups in Golden Town.
They had all heard the news about their Gale Group attacking the Black Wind Ash Wolf. So, they had rushed to Golden Town early in order to take advantage of the situation.
"Huh?"
Andrew didn't understand what he meant.
However, a demon beast at the peak of the fourth grade... should be much more powerful than that killer Black Wolf.
It should be able to withstand two strikes from him?
After all, he was now a little more powerful than when he killed Black Wolf.
"Get lost!"
Seeing Andrew continuing to brazenly follow him, the brawny man became furious. He said coldly, "The martial artists from Boston are really bold. You're just a little kid. I don't even know if you have completed the bone tempering phase, yet you actually want to snatch food from the tiger's mouth?"
He did not make a move either.
Relying on his iron tower-like body, he just leaned toward Andrew...
This test was very elaborate.
Not only did the guy use the increase in speed, he even used a martial arts battle technique called "Iron Mountain." With this strength, even a small car would be deformed.
Noticing that he was about to collide with this little brat, a smile appeared on the burly man's lips.
With this 'Iron Mountain,' the brat, a prospective martial artist who might not even have his face tempered, would definitely die!
Moreover, in the wilderness, even if he killed someone, as long as he was not caught by the Martial Arts Administration, who could control him?
However...
In the next moment, the smile on his face froze, as if he had seen a ghost.
Didn't I hit him?
Shouldn't his internal organs be shattered and his body sent flying?
Why did it feel like he had hit a mountain?
Instead, he was sent flying.
Crack.
The burly man let out a muffled groan, feeling as if his spine had been shattered!
He flew more than ten meters and landed on the grass at the side, sliding another six or seven meters before he barely stopped. The rocket launcher on his shoulder rolled to the side. He spat out a mouthful of blood and looked miserable.
"Second Brother?"
"Second Brother, what's wrong?"
"Second Brother!"
Three surprised cries came out from his earpiece.
"Ding!"
"You have defeated a grade-three martial artist. Reward: 10 strengthening points."
In his mind, the system notification sounded.
Andrew stopped and looked coldly at the burly martial artist lying on the grass.
Just now, he had clearly sensed a strong killing intent from that burly man!
"This man treated me as a prospective martial artist, but that move just now... Not to mention a prospective martial artist, even a first-grade martial fighter would have a hard time surviving!"
Were all martial artists nowadays so vicious?
I just wanted him to apologize, but he tried to kill me?
He picked up the rocket launcher.
The rocket inside had been installed.
Andrew put the rocket launcher on his shoulder and aimed at the brawny martial artist. He deliberately raised it a little higher and said coldly, "The cause and effect are mutual. You wanted to kill me, but you ended up in this situation. You deserve everything."
"No!
"Don't kill me. I'll give you all the money... and my composite metal weapon!"
The brawny man stared at Andrew and begged bitterly.
From his angle, he could see that the black muzzle of the rocket launcher was aimed at his head.
No matter what, he was still a third-grade martial artist. He dragged his injured body and moved backward while begging bitterly, "Spare me, please spare me..."
His plea was transmitted to the other brothers through the earpiece.
There was a moment of silence in the earpiece, followed by a cold voice, "Sir, I am the captain of the Gale Fighter Squad, Liebert. Please show mercy... Otherwise, our Gale Fighter Squad will not let you off easily."
"It seems that your brothers don't want you to live at all."
Andrew's eyes moved, but then he recovered his smile.

"Why do you have to threaten me? If you had asked nicely, I might have let him off."
Andrew lowered the muzzle of the rocket launcher a little.
"However, I'm not a cold-blooded and heartless person like you.
"Since you almost hit me with a rocket, I'll let you experience the same."
Andrew aimed at his side and slowly pulled the trigger.
That burly warrior's eyes were about to bulge out of the sockets. He shouted in despair, "Your aim, your aim is off!"
Didn't you say you wanted me to experience this feeling of being scared?
I clearly felt it, but why is the rocket launcher still pointing at me!
"Off?"
Andrew subconsciously moved the rocket launcher.
Xiu!
Rumble!
A rocket instantly flew out, and a scorching wave of air spread in the surroundings.
"Ding!"
"Congratulations, Host. You have killed a martial artist of the third grade. Reward: 100 strengthening points."
Andrew: "..."
He was stunned for a moment and said somewhat angrily, "F*ck, I clearly aimed accurately, yet you insisted that I missed!"
But if he died from the explosion, so be it.
He was not a saint.
Anyway, this person wanted to kill him. Since he had this idea, he should be prepared for getting killed in return.
"Very good, you're finished!"
A voice filled with incomparable hatred and killing intent came from the earpiece.
Andrew looked at the earpiece on the ground.
In this day and age, there was still such a good quality earpiece? He stepped forward and crushed it.
Before he could tidy up the scene on the ground, he heard hurried footsteps.
Soon, two figures appeared in his field of vision.
Andrew put down the rocket launcher.
At such a long distance, the rocket launcher was not a threat to them at all.
He untied the white cloth on his blade and mobilized his Qi.
Buzz, buzz!
The blade started to tremble.
Andrew wasn't stupid either. The others had already found him, so he couldn't hide even if he wanted to. Only by taking care of all these people here could he be at ease while searching for demon beasts in the wilderness.
The two figures suddenly accelerated!
One of them held a composite metal saber in his hand, and his aura was fierce. He was at the middle stage of the fourth-grade realm. As he ran, his Blood Qi was released, as if he was wearing a light red blood robe.
The other person's Qi was slightly weaker. He was probably at the early stage of the fourth-grade. His strength was about the same as Black Wolf.
His weapon was a long stick.
The distance between them and Andrew was less than a hundred meters, and they could reach it in three or four seconds.
As Andrew raised his blade with one hand, his aura surged. Faint electric arcs were flashing on the composite metal battle blade. Just as he was about to engage the duo, his heart suddenly sank.
"Something's wrong!"
At first, he had heard three different voices from the earpiece.
In other words, there should be four people in the Gale Fighter Squad!
And one person... was hiding in a place he didn't notice!
An extremely dangerous premonition rose from the bottom of his heart. Relying on the vigilance of the fighters, Andrew raised the blade in his hand horizontally in the next moment.
Bang!
A bullet hit the battle saber.
The violent impact caused his arms to go numb, and he couldn't help but take two steps back.
Seeing this, the two martial artists hurriedly followed up. Taking advantage of Andrew's restricted movements, they wanted to kill him in one go.
"If this continues, I might die!"
Andrew frowned. He hadn't found the hidden sniper.
If he wanted to make a move, he had to be careful of the bullets in the dark.
"Die!"
Just as he was distracted, an angry shout came from the side.
The captain of the Gale Fighter Squad, Liebert, jumped up. He wanted nothing more than slashing Andrew with his saber.
"Whoosh!"
A bullet came again!
"Go to hell!"
Andrew frowned and slashed out with his blade.
Rumble!
Lightning exploded.
A 20-meter-long bolt of lightning instantly burst out!
Ding!
The specially-made composite metal bullet was directly cut open by the Lightning Blade Qi. However, the saber and long staff were about to land on Andrew's body...
Puchi!
The air exploded.
A 10-meter-long crack appeared on the ground.
A wave of smoke spread out from the point of the explosion.
"He should be dead," said the third brother with the long staff.
The trio's coordination could be said to be flawless. Even if they were to face a fifth-grade martial artist, they wouldn't be at a disadvantage.
Contrary to expectations, Liebert frowned.
Andrew had disappeared.
He had vanished into thin air under the eyes of the two martial artists. He had disappeared without a trace, as if he had never appeared.
If he was dead, at least there would be a corpse.
The remaining three members of the Gale Squad looked at each other. Their eyes were filled with shock.
"Where is he?"
"Even if he is a Grandmaster, we should at least notice a trace of him. Moreover, his aura is similar to ours. At most, he is a grade-four martial artist. How can he be faster than a Grandmaster?"
As grade-four martial artists, their senses were acute. Although they couldn't find Andrew's location, they could vaguely sense that there was a pair of eyes staring at them from somewhere nearby.
The surroundings were a wide expanse.
The factory building closest to the industrial park was three hundred meters away.
Where could he hide?
This unknown sense of danger made their scalps go numb. They didn't dare to move and could only coldly say, "Come out!"
"Bastard, if you have the ability, why don't you try facing us head-on?"
The next moment, they felt that the feeling of being under observation had disappeared.
The two martial artists exchanged glances and heaved a sigh of relief.
However, they had forgotten one thing.
The fourth brother in the team, the hidden sniper, could still feel someone's eyes on him!

Chapter 29: Killing the Gale Squad
Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL
"Big Brother, Third Brother, what happened over there? That person... why did he disappear?"
From the Gale Squad's headset, sniper number four's surprised voice sounded.
"Number Four, you didn't see his movements either?"
Boss Liebert was shocked.
Although Number Four's strength was the weakest in their Gale Fighter Squad, his vision was much sharper than a martial artist of the same rank.
Even the actions of a Grandmaster could be seen clearly by Fourth Brother.
The next moment, Fourth Brother felt a sense of danger coming from behind him.
He quickly rolled to the side.
A "Boom" sounded from his previous spot.
Fourth Brother turned his head and saw an additional scar where he was originally lying down.
Following that, a wave of tearing pain surged into his brain.
His body...
Was directly cut into two halves by a single slash!
"Fourth Brother!"
Liebert's voice came from the earpiece.
He looked at a high slope in the distance. The explosion came from there, and their team's fourth brother... was also there!
"This Innate Five-elements Infinite Escape Technique is really a top-grade ambush skill!"
Andrew looked at the sniper's corpse on the ground and revealed a cold smile.
If he had not mastered the escape technique, he might have died under the combined attack of three people.
How could these three martial artists think that there was actually someone who could move under the ground?
This gave Andrew the opportunity to find the sniper.
"Damn it!"
The remaining two members of the Gale Squad had bloodshot eyes. They held their weapons and rushed over.
However, they hadn't even run 200 meters.
Xiu!
A bolt of Lightning Blade Qi directly drilled out of the ground and cut the staff-wielding martial artist in half.
"F*ck!"
The Gale Squad's captain, Liebert, was frightened by this sudden Qi and stopped in his tracks.
Looking at the third's body that had been split into two, he was stunned.
What kind of monster had he provoked?
From his strength, he was at most at the peak of the fourth-grade. With the combined might of the three of them, it shouldn't be difficult to defeat him.
However, that sudden disappearance...
He had no way to guard against this sudden Blade Qi.
Revenge?
Get lost!
F*ck brotherhood. As long as he could survive, it would be enough.
Liebert took two steps back.
He was waiting for the second Blade Qi.
Such a powerful martial arts battle technique would definitely burden his body after it was released.
As long as he blocked the second Blade Qi, he would be able to escape this place at an extremely fast speed while there was still time.
"Die!"
A voice that terrified him rang in Liebert's ears.
Then, a whistling sound came.
A 20-meter-long Blade Qi gradually enlarged in his pupils!
"This blade... I can block it, right?"
Liebert began to doubt himself.
Looking at the approaching Blade Qi, he leaped and barely dodged the attack.
Boom!
Thick smoke rose around him.
"Right now. If I run, he definitely won't be able to catch up to me."
Liebert instantly took off and made his escape.
However, he hadn't even run a few steps when another Blade Qi quickly came from behind him.
"Ah!"
Both of his legs were cut off by the Qi, and he fell to the ground.
Andrew, who had been underground, coldly looked at Liebert above him.
Was this a fourth-grade martial artist?
Looking at Liebert's disheveled appearance, it was hard for Andrew to link the person who had threatened him earlier.
"Ding!"
"Congratulations, Host, for killing a fighter of the fourth grade. Reward: 300 strengthening points."
In his mind, the system notification sounded.
So... Liebert was already dead?
Andrew glanced at the system interface.
The strengthening points had reached 840.
"This saber is C-grade?"
"No, although this saber is C-grade, there are some B-grade materials mixed in... This composite metal rod is the same. They should be worth a lot."
Battlesuit...
The second brother of the Gale Fighter Squad had a suit on him.
However, its level shouldn't be high as it was destroyed by a single strike.
"Oh right, that sniper's sniper rifle should be able to sell for some money."
Under normal circumstances, warriors who came to the wilderness would only carry some food and medical supplies in their backpacks.
The rest of the surplus items would be placed in a "safe spot" in the wilderness.
However, Andrew had a storage space with him.
Very quickly, he stored all the spoils of war into his storage space.
After placing everything inside, there was not much space left in the storage space.
"Ding!"
"Congratulations, Host, you have obtained 360 strengthening points."
In his mind, the system notification sounded once again.
"It's similar to my estimation. That composite metal saber and long staff are worth around 2 million, while the rocket launcher, sniper rifle, and other items should be around 1.6 million."
His total strengthening points had reached 1,200!
"No wonder martial artists like to go to the wilderness. Although it's full of danger, it's a shortcut to earn money!"
He had left the hotel at 8 am and went to the supermarket. After buying some things and traveling, he reached the wilderness at around 10 am.
It was only 11 am now.
In just one hour, he had earned 3.6 million, which was nothing more than robbing a bank.
Moreover, he hadn't killed any demon beast yet.
Some of the demon beast materials could also be sold at a high price on the black market or on the forum.
Demon beast?
Andrew Thought for a moment.
The injured peak grade-four demon beast, the Black Wind Ash Wolf, was still in the Golden Town.
If he killed it before anyone else...

Chapter 30: The Chaotic Golden Town
Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL
Golden Town.
On top of an abandoned building.
This building used to be a government office of the Golden Town. It had a total of 10 floors, but now, only five floors were left.
On the second floor of the building, there was a room by the window.
John was holding a telescope and looking outside quietly.
On the street, there were many abandoned vehicles.
These vehicles had been parked there for more than ten years. With the wind, the sun, and the stomping of the beasts, they had already rotted to the point that only an iron frame was left.
"Dong!"
A black shadow flew onto a frame, and it was directly stomped flat.
Tick tock.
Tick tock.
Black blood continuously dripped down.
The Black Wind Ash Wolf was nearly two meters tall, four meters long, and weighed more than a ton. It raised its head and let out a miserable howl.
It used to be the king of this town.
It lured the humans that had entered the wilderness to Golden Town and raised them in captivity. When it got hungry, it would use these humans.
But now, it was seriously injured, bleeding non-stop, and its strength was constantly fading away.
Fortunately, just yesterday, it had trapped a group of humans in the town to prevent itself from being seriously injured.
"After I replenish my blood and energy, I will definitely slaughter all of you humans!"
The Black Wind Ash Wolf let out a long howl and gradually disappeared from John's sight along the street.
"Hu..."
John let out a long breath and collapsed onto the ground.
"Did the members of the Gale Fighter Squad had their brains kicked? The Black Wind Ash Wolf was already seriously injured, yet they didn't take the opportunity to chase after it and instead left the city?"
John's companion, the bearded warrior, and a short, thin, and weak middle-aged warrior looked gloomy.
They had accepted a mission from the Martial Arts Administration and came to rescue a group of trapped students.
When they came, they received news that the Gale Squad seemed to be preparing to deal with the Black Wind Ash Wolf. Intending to take advantage of the situation, they had already laid in an ambush in Golden Town.
Since they were relatively weak, the three of them suppressed the greed in their hearts after seeing the injured Black Wind Ash Wolf and didn't make a move.
As for the martial artist team that was slightly stronger than them, they weren't so lucky.
They were swallowed by the Black Wind Ash Wolf.
Besides the Black Wind Ash Wolf, many first and second-grade demonic beasts were also gathering in the town's center on the streets.
Along with the wolf's long howls, the nearby demonic beasts seemed to have received some kind of order and were continuously rushing over.
"John, how is it?"
The bearded warrior frowned and asked, "The Gale Squad hasn't returned. I'm afraid that they've encountered some trouble. If only we had known earlier, we would have left the wilderness after rescuing the students."
"That's already out of the equation..."John said dejectedly.
He looked at the increasing number of demonic beasts on the street, and his heart became even heavier.
He hadn't found the students he wanted to save, and now, he was trapped in Golden Town by so many demonic beasts. He was afraid...
He glanced at the backpack he had brought with him and receded into thought.
The short and thin warrior said in a low voice, "Since there aren't many demonic beasts now, let's risk it. Don't bother about those trapped students."
A trace of viciousness flashed through his eyes.
The trio was second-grade warriors. If they wanted to escape, as long as they didn't meet the Black Wind Ash Wolf, they should be able to force their way out.
Right at this moment, John observed through the binoculars and looked out of the street. He said in surprise, "Another warrior has come! Eh? Why is it him?"
When the bearded warrior and the scrawny middle-aged warrior heard this, their eyes moved.
There was actually a warrior who dared to come to Golden Town. Was he here to die?
At the same time, they were a little curious.
From John's tone, it seemed like he knew this warrior who had just arrived.
If it was someone John knew, he should at least have the strength of a second-grade. If the four of them were together, the probability of escaping Golden Town would be even higher.
Therefore, they all leaned against the window and cautiously peered outside.
They saw a youth wearing a sports coat, carrying a warrior's backpack, and holding a composite metal blade on the street, glancing around curiously.
He even stared at the Black Wind Ash Wolf's blood for a few seconds in front of the broken car that the wolf had just stomped.
"It's him!"
"Is it that crazy college student?"
The bearded warrior looked disappointed. No wonder there was a warrior coming to Golden Town at this time. It was this stupid kid.
John whispered to Andrew.
Below.
Andrew vaguely heard someone calling him and looked up. He saw someone waving at him from a window.
"Isn't that the person from the pickup truck? I think his name was John. Are they also here to kill the Black Wind Ash Wolf?"
However, the three of them seemed to only have the strength of a second-stage martial artist. They were simply not a match for the Black Wind Ash Wolf.
"However, I was just worried that I wouldn't be able to find the Black Wind Ash Wolf. They have been staying here all this time. Perhaps they know where it is hiding."
Upstairs.
The bearded warrior was anxious. He cursed in a low voice and shouted, "John, what are you doing?
"Now that so many demonic beasts have swarmed into Golden Town, we are in danger. Why did you call him up?"
John frowned. "The Black Wind Ash Wolf is right in front. If he is discovered, he will definitely die. We are all human warriors. It's not wrong to help him!"
"But if we bring him with us, it will be even harder to escape from Golden Town!" said the bearded warrior fiercely.
"What if... his strength is not bad?"

Chapter 31: Trapped Students, Grade 12, Class 6?
Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL
When John said this, he wasn't sure either.
No matter how talented a sophomore was, he was only a second-grade fighter.
Moreover, these students' combat experience was far less than theirs. It wasn't an exaggeration to say that they were a burden.
While they chatted, steady footsteps could be heard coming from the corridor.
"The three of you, what are you hiding here for?"
Andrew took the initiative to greet the trio.
The bearded warrior was shocked.
When did he come upstairs?
They had just spoken for a few seconds, but this kid was actually so fast?
"Shh, be quiet."
John stood up and reminded him.
Only then did Andrew react. This was the wilderness, and there was danger lurking everywhere. If he was too loud, he might become a target.
With his current strength, he did not have the confidence to resist a sniper's attack.
"Why are you here?" John asked first.
"This is my first time coming to the wilderness. I don't have a map either. I don't know how I came here."
Andrew replied. From a hill, he saw some ruins here, so he walked over. He did not expect it to be Golden Town.
John Sighed and didn't say anything.
This kid was too unlucky. Why did he get lost and come to Golden Town?
"What about you?" Andrew asked back.
"Who cares about you..."
The bearded warrior seemed unwilling to tell Andrew. However, John stopped him and said, "We're here for a Martial Arts Administration mission. Some students are trapped here. We're responsible for rescuing them."
He did not say that he was here to take advantage of the Black Wind Ash Wolf.
After all, it was impossible to kill the Black Wind Ash Wolf now. He could only think of a way to escape from Golden Town while the wolf was still injured.
"Students?"Andrew asked.
"Students like you, who don't have any strength, come to the wilderness all the time. You are really courting death."
The bearded warrior mocked.
He looked down on Andrew and did not hide it at all.
Andrew did not pay attention to the bearded warrior. Instead, he looked at John and continued to ask, "Don't you need a Martial Artist Card to enter the wilderness?"
John was shocked.
"Don't you know? High school students will come to the outskirts of the wilderness before the entrance exam. After being subjected to a strong sense of oppression, it is beneficial for their bones to be tempered.
"So, the schools will send their martial arts teachers to follow the students to ensure their safety.
"But this time... it seems like there was an accident. They went too deep and were trapped here."
At this point, John sighed.
Not to mention those students, even they were trapped here.
"Then why are you hiding here? Shouldn't you be saving those students?"
Andrew frowned.
"Save? That's easy for you to say. There are so many monsters out there. Are you going out to die?"
"If it were up to me, we should leave now. Why should we care about those students?"
The bearded warrior and the scrawny warrior said in unison, expressing their dissatisfaction.
They were here to earn some extra money, not throwing their lives for the Martial Arts Administration.
John wanted to persuade them, but seeing the determined tone of his two companions, he gave up.
Andrew saw the expressions of the three people.
"Do you know the location of those students?"
"Why? Do you still want to save them? You can't even protect yourself."
The bearded warrior laughed and turned his head to the side.
"Here!"
The scrawny warrior rolled his eyes and took out a map from his backpack. He pointed at a marked location and said, "Turn right after walking two streets. There's a warehouse. They should be inside!"
The bearded warrior glared at him. They had spent a lot of effort to find this information, but they didn't expect the skinny warrior to leak it.
Andrew silently noted down the marked location.
"Does anyone want to come with me?"
...
The trio did not speak. John raised his head as if he was about to open his mouth, but the bearded man pressed him down.
"If you want to go, then go quickly. We won't accompany you."
Andrew shook his head and turned to leave.
After he walked far away, the bearded warrior looked at the short warrior angrily.
The short warrior quickly explained, "Do you think I'm as brainless as you? If we let him go and save people, he might attract those monsters over. Then, we'll leave Golden Town quickly."
The bearded warrior's eyes lit up.
Such a good plan; why didn't he think of it? He had almost ruined a good thing.
Only John was left with his head lowered. His face was full of regret.
A few minutes later, at the entrance of an abandoned warehouse.
Andrew looked around and didn't find any beasts. He knocked on the door of the warehouse.
There was no answer.
Could it be that the person deliberately gave him the wrong place?
Just as he was about to go back, a whisper came from the warehouse, "Is it the rescuers?"
Sure enough, the trapped students were inside!
"Yes, there are no monsters outside now. Follow me out."
The warehouse was immediately filled with noises.
The door opened very quickly.
When Andrew looked at the students and teachers inside, his face darkened.
It was true that enemies often encountered each other.
The trapped students were actually students from the Martial Arts Training High School No. 3's class 6!
It was also his former class.
"Andrew?"
Dean O'Neill said in surprise.
He knew Andrew's strength. He could break the arm of a third-grade martial artist with one palm strike. The lowest level of his strength was the fourth-grade.
If he was here, they would definitely be able to escape!
"I advise you not to talk. Just follow me."
Andrew said coldly.
How could he forget how these former classmates mocked him?
But this was the wilderness, after all. If he didn't care, these people would end up in the mouths of the monsters.
After thinking for a while, Andrew decided to save these people first.

Chapter 32: Killing The Black Wind Ash Wolf!
Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL
As soon as the trapped students walked out of the warehouse, the roars of demonic beasts were heard from all around the street.
Ambush?
"So many demonic beasts. It's over. We're dead for sure."
Andrew took two steps forward and protected the students behind him.
The demonic beasts slowly opened up a path and revealed the Black Wind Ash Wolf. It bared its sharp fangs and slowly walked up.
"I was wondering how come these demonic beasts have intelligence. So, it was you, this wolf, playing tricks.
"You know, I was worried that I wouldn't be able to find you. I didn't expect you to come out on your own."
When the students and Dean O'Neill saw the Black Wind Ash Wolf, their faces instantly turned pale with fright.
They had been chased all the way to the town by this peak fourth-grade demonic beast.
Although they didn't know why this demonic beast didn't eat them, it trapped them here. They had nowhere to run.
"Die!"
Andrew channeled his Qi and rushed forward with the B-grade composite metal blade in his hand.
Electric arcs were flashing on the blade as the Lightning Blade Qi streaked across and rushed towards the Black Wind Ash Wolf.
Although the Black Wind Ash Wolf was injured, it was still an evolved monster.
This kind of animal had a powerful premonition against danger.
It let out a long howl.
The other demonic beasts all moved forward, only to hear a series of "Puchi" sounds. Waves of blood mist floated in the air.
The Black Wind Ash Wolf took two steps back. Looking at the demonic beast corpses on the ground, it was afraid.
Had it not been injured, it might have been able to fight with the human warrior. But now, it could not withstand such a powerful Blade Qi.
The Black Wind Ash Wolf turned around and was about to escape.
Andrew laughed loudly. He exerted strength under his feet, and his body flew out like a cannonball. He gathered strength in his right hand and directly threw out the blade.
Whoosh!
Boom!
A dilapidated building directly collapsed.
The wolf's body stopped in the middle of the street.
However, there was a bloody wound in the middle of its forehead.
"It died just like that?"
"Just how... powerful is Andrew?"
The students present swallowed their saliva, as if they were looking at an existence that was even more terrifying than the Black Wind Ash Wolf.
"Ding!"
"Congratulations, Host, for killing a fourth-grade demon beast. Reward: 300 strengthening points."
In his mind, the system notification sounded very quickly.
Andrew's mind jolted. He wanted nothing more than to charge into the depths of the wilderness and find demon beasts to grind for hundreds of thousands of strengthening points.
When the remaining demonic beasts saw this scene, they immediately scattered and fled in all directions.
Andrew was not the slightest bit interested in these first- or second-grade demonic beasts.
He walked to the corpse of the Black Wind Ash Wolf.
"Come over and help me carry it."
The students present were stunned, unable to understand what Andrew meant.
It was Dean O'Neill who reacted first.
He called a few male students and walked over, carrying the Black Wind Ash Wolf's body.
Andrew nodded with satisfaction.
Since they wanted him to save them, they had to make some contributions.
After walking for a distance, Dean O'Neill suddenly said, "Andrew, there are actually a few students who got lost..."
"Huh?"
Andrew frowned.
Shouldn't this kind of thing be said from the beginning?
"Among those students, Dora..."
Hearing this, Andrew naturally understood.
It turned out that the dean was afraid that hearing Dora's name, he wouldn't go to save them.
"Where did they get lost?"
O'Neill quickly told Andrew everything in detail.
"I'll send you to a safer place first. I'll come back to fetch you after I find them."
Andrew led the students to the building where John was at the beginning.
...
"Isn't this... the body of the Black Wind Ash Wolf?"
In the building, the bearded warrior said in surprise when he saw the bodies carried by the students.
"Did you kill it?"
Andrew didn't answer.
John took a look and quickly went forward. "If he didn't kill it, did you?"
He was afraid that the bearded warrior would provoke Andrew.
To be able to kill the Black Wind Ash Wolf, he must be at least a fighter of the fourth-grade, much more powerful than the three of them.
Moreover, he had helped save the trapped students.
For a moment, John did not know how to thank Andrew.
"You guys wait for me here for a while. There are still a few students who got lost. I'll go and find them first."
After Andrew finished speaking, he directly jumped down from the second floor.
Now, the demon beasts in Golden Town no longer had a leader. The highest level of strength was only second-grade. These three people were enough to protect the students here.
"With your temper, it's easy to offend people!"
John criticized. The bearded warrior didn't dare to say anything. Fortunately, the young man didn't pursue the matter. Otherwise, he would have died a long time ago.
The bearded warrior thought to himself. I must change my bad temper.
...
Eastern District of Golden Town.
In an abandoned residential building.
Dora was curled up and hiding in an old wardrobe.
She was the only one left among the three students who had gone missing with her. The other three were swallowed by the monsters. If she had not hid quickly, she might also have been in a monster's stomach.
"Is anyone there?"
A calm voice suddenly came from outside the residential building.
Dora was a little absent-minded. When she heard the voice, her face was filled with regret.
She didn't expect that she would be hallucinating now.
She actually heard Andrew's voice...
If she had cherished Andrew back then, she wouldn't have ended up like this.
But now, what was the use of regret?
"Is anyone there? Are there any trapped students?"
The voice appeared again. Dora rubbed her red eyes.
It was not an auditory hallucination!
She rushed out of the closet, leaned against the window, and looked at the street.
She could no longer control her repressed emotions and started crying.
