5: Four Styles of Flowing Light
The Martial Skill assessment, also known as the practical combat assessment, accounts for the highest proportion of scores among all subjects, a full 350 points!
This subject is also called the comeback subject!
It is the Unique subject among the three Martial Dao assessments that does not look at Life Strength.
Following the principle of fairness, it still started with Class (2).
The ten people in the first group stood within a rectangular grid, approximately 2.5 times the size of a basketball court.
In front of each of them stood a black robot.
This robot was the same training robot used earlier to assess their continuous power output.
These robots are exclusive to the school, and their most powerful function is to stop short, never accidentally injuring students.
At this moment, two sets of numbers were displayed on the foreheads of these training robots.
5.1 / 0%, 4.9 / 0%, 5.2 / 0%...
Ling Yun stood in the center of the field with one hand in his pocket.
"These training robots each have two sets of numbers on their foreheads."
"The left side represents your Life Strength level, and the right side is the robot's current Martial Skill level."
"They will always control their strength to be equal to the examinee's Life Strength."
"During combat, their Martial Skill will continuously improve, and the assessment ends when the examinee is pushed out of bounds."
"This isn't the first test for any of you, so I won't say any more unnecessary words." He paused, then said, "Begin!"
Chen Du stood quietly outside the field.
Last year, he couldn't hold on when the training robot's Martial Skill reached 56% and was forced out of bounds.
The assessment score is calculated by taking the Martial Skill value on the training robot's head at the end and subtracting 1%.
At that time, his first-stage 55% directly propelled him to first place in the class, causing a minor sensation, but unfortunately, his overall score wasn't too dazzling.
For safety, the training robots' weapons uniformly used long staffs, and their Martial Skill also employed the defensive Hunyuan Staff Technique.
At this moment, the assessment in the arena had already begun, and all ten examinees gained the upper hand, unilaterally suppressing the training robots.
However, everyone remained cautious, as the training robots' Martial Skill was only at 1% at the moment.
As time passed...
5%
10%
15%
The training robots' Martial Skill rapidly soared, and the long staffs in their hands moved so fast that afterimages gradually appeared.
This was precisely the first form of the Hunyuan Staff Technique: Fledgling Eagle Takes Flight!
When the Martial Skill reached 23%, some examinees began to show signs of struggle.
At 29%, the examinees who had been responding calmly started to sweat profusely.
30%!
The training robots' movements suddenly accelerated, and their staff technique level clearly improved by a notch; both speed and power surpassed before.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Three examinees couldn't withstand the power of the long staffs and were directly sent flying out.
"Li Chi, Wang Ba, Tu Sanshi, eliminated!" Ling Yun said calmly, standing in the field observing the battle.
Being knocked out by a robot with 30% Martial Dao technique meant that the three's Martial Dao technique was only first-stage 29%.
That is, the limit of the early stage of the first stage, stuck at the threshold of the middle stage. The three received a final score of 71.05 points.
The full score of 350 multiplied by 29% and then by 70% is the three's converted Martial Skill assessment score.
36%!
"Chen Bo, Zhao Xie, Yang Wei, eliminated!"
Soon, Class (2) completed their test. This time, the best score was not Liu Yang, the class monitor, but Zhang Jun, the vice class monitor.
First-stage 49%, he beat Liu Yang, the class monitor, by a margin of 1%.
Class (3) followed closely and entered the field. Chen Du was one of the first group of examinees.
At this moment, he held a long sword and stood in the center, as if confronting the training robot.
Chen Du chose the sword for two reasons.
Firstly, the sword emphasizes skill, is ever-changing in actual combat, and is quite versatile for both offense and defense, capable of handling any situation.
Secondly, Chen Du's idol, the number one expert of the High Martial Civilization, "Yan," used a long sword as his weapon!
After the first two tests, Chen Du's popularity suddenly increased.
All classes in the school are staggered, and the year-level ranking only displays the total scores for academics and Martial Dao.
Many students, through communication and inquiry, learned that Chen Du's Martial Skill had already reached a terrifying first-stage 55% at the end of the first semester of his third year of high school!
This made many students feel relieved, no wonder his scores in the first two rounds of tests were so high.
It turned out that the power developed by his body was greater than theirs.
This news made Zhang Jun of Class (2) a bit depressed. He was the dignified vice class monitor.
He had just taken first place in the class again.
Now he was told that his Martial Dao technique score was not even as high as Chen Du's level two months ago!
This was a heavy blow to him, and his previously joyful mood instantly cooled.
Han Yiming, who had always been calm and composed, was somewhat surprised upon hearing this news.
"His Martial Skill was already first-stage 55% at the end of the first semester of his third year of high school?"
"That's impressive. In terms of Martial Skill alone, most students in the Hongzhi Class are not as good as him."
"Fortunately, his Life Strength is not as good as mine."
Originally, Han Yiming only considered Lin Zhicheng and Buchuan Kuzi as his strong rivals. Although Chen Du was excellent, his Life Strength was low after all.
But after hearing this news, Chen Du was also listed by him as someone not to be ignored.
Not only Han Yiming, but many students present, upon hearing Chen Du's end-of-semester exam results, focused their attention on him.
Ling Yun was also very curious at this moment, whether Chen Du's Martial Skill had entered the high stage of the first stage.
It should be known that the Bottleneck of the high stage of the first stage is not easy to Breakthrough, otherwise there would not be only two high-stage first-stage practitioners in the Hongzhi Class.
"Begin!"
As Ling Yun gave the order, the training robot's pupils instantly glowed red, entering sparring mode.
The staff in its hand was swung out at high speed, visually appearing like a rapidly dancing long whip.
Chen Du held his sword with one hand and lightly waved it, forcing the training robot back.
Both sides' Life Strength was 5.1, and the opponent's current 5% Martial Skill was simply not worth worrying about.
10%!
20%!
30%!
30% represents the middle-stage Martial Dao technique of the first stage.
The difficulty immediately increased by a notch at this point, and two examinees were instantly knocked out of the field.
32%, one examinee eliminated.
35%, two examinees eliminated.
40%, three examinees eliminated.
At this moment, there were only two examinees left in the examination hall, one was Chen Du, who everyone was paying attention to.
The other was the study committee member, Hasa Ge.
Hasa Ge was also one of the 'study kings' in the class, waking up earlier than chickens and sleeping later than dogs every day.
His score in the last exam was 54th in the year, 5 places higher than Chen Du.
However, judging from Chen Du's progress from freshman year to senior year.
Hasa Ge knew that Chen Du would surpass him one day.
He just didn't expect that day to come so quickly!
When the number on the robot's head reached 45%.
Hasa Ge finally couldn't withstand the pressure, and with a cry of "Ah!"
He was swept out of the competition by the training robot's second form of Hunyuan Staff Technique: Stop War with Martial Arts.
The score converted from 44% was 107.8, which would place him among the top five in Class (3).
For him, coming from a relatively difficult family background, this was already a very good score.
At this moment, only Chen Du remained in the arena. The 'Stop War with Martial Arts' technique that had just knocked Hasa Ge out with a single staff strike.
Was easily forced back by Chen Du using a move called Golden Drums Fill the Sky.
All basic Martial Skills have four forms. Chen Du's Flowing Light Sword Technique includes:
First Form: Draw a Circle on the Ground as a Prison
Second Form: Golden Drums Fill the Sky
Third Form: Clear Wind Beneath the Trees
Fourth Form: Azure Dragon Thrust
They correspond to the early, middle, high, and Perfection stages of Martial Skill, respectively.
"What a promising talent!" Ling Yun's eyes narrowed slightly as he muttered to himself.
As the Martial Dao teacher of the Hongzhi Class, his discernment was incredibly sharp.
With just this one move, he could tell that Chen Du's Martial Skill level had probably surpassed those two in his class.
It seems he...
At this moment, Chen Du gripped the sword hilt with a backhand, his body half-bent.
In a defensive stance, he completely blocked the training robot's "Never Miss" attack.
Flowing Light Sword Technique Third Form: Clear Wind Beneath the Trees!
At this moment, the number on the robot's head immediately increased: 60%1%.
"He really entered the high stage of the first stage!"
