I'm Cultivating Immortality While Everyone Else Practices Martial Arts

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.
