Chapter 86: Chapter 84: Didn’t Register? Director Zhang then said, "Today’s assessment is somewhat different from usual, with two stages: first is the strength test, followed by a martial arts test. Only after passing the strength test can one proceed to the martial arts test. In the strength test, we will select the eight top performers for peerless sparring, and only after evaluation will someone be declared the champion. However, if the evaluation is not up to par, there is still no way to pass the assessment!" Immediately, the people around began to buzz with excitement, their eyes showing a touch of helplessness: "This special level certification assessment is getting harder and harder, even if one wins in the end, they might not necessarily pass the assessment!" "Yes, it’s so difficult. Some people are overestimating their abilities by directly challenging it; they’re really asking for trouble!" As they spoke, everyone looked toward Ye Feng with disdain in their eyes. At this moment, the staff from Heavenly Origin Martial Arts Hall brought over a machine. Director Gao explained, "Everyone, this is the strength testing machine we need for today’s test. It’s a strength tester. You just need to strike it with all your might, and it will measure your strength. Now, let Master Zhao demonstrate for everyone—let’s welcome him with a round of applause!" "Clap clap clap~" Immediately, applause swelled like waves, and Master Zhao smiled and walked directly up to the platform. Then, Master Zhao’s gaze grew sharp, his muscles tensed, and his entire body seemed to bulge as if growing in size; his inner strength burst forth, making his clothes billow. "Heh!" Everyone saw Master Zhao shout loudly and then punch toward the striking area of the strength tester. With a burst of inner strength, everyone faintly heard the sound of the air exploding. "Bang!" A distinctly muffled sound reached every person’s ear. The blast produced after striking the strength tester caused a gust of wind to rush outwards, gently swaying everyone’s hair. "Beep beep beep~~" Subsequently, the numbers on the strength tester soared crazily. One hundred... three hundred... eight hundred... Finally, it climbed to a whopping eighteen hundred before it stopped completely. Upon witnessing this, everyone was shocked. "Eighteen hundred pounds! Master Zhao actually hit with a force of eighteen hundred pounds!" The crowd erupted, their eyes filled with admiration for Master Zhao. "A full eighteen hundred pounds, if this punch landed on an ordinary person, they would surely be killed with one blow!" The crowd nodded in agreement, finding it incredible that a single punch had produced a weight of eighteen hundred pounds. Director Gao’s entire face darkened with shock as he looked at Master Zhao, "Master Zhao, have you reached the peak of inner strength?" "That’s right! Just a few days ago, I reached the peak of the inner strength realm!" Master Zhao nodded in response. "What, Master Zhao has reached the peak of the inner strength realm? Then wouldn’t he be able to enter the ranks of Linnan Province’s top ten martial arts masters!" The crowd looked at Master Zhao excitedly. "Master Zhao has made a breakthrough in the past few days, and so has Senior Brother Liu Fan. Both mentor and disciple have made breakthroughs. It really is a double celebration!" Everyone felt delighted at Zhao and Liu Fan’s breakthroughs, except one person who wasn’t pleased at all. That person was Director Gao. He had also made a recent breakthrough, climbing from the mid-stage to the late stage of inner strength. He originally thought that after reaching the late stage of inner strength, he could be on equal footing with Master Zhao. However, to his surprise, Master Zhao’s strength had soared to the peak of inner strength, an unexpected twist. At this moment, Director Gao called out coldly, "Silence, everyone. The assessment is about to begin!" Upon hearing Director Gao’s command, everyone quieted down. Director Gao announced, "When I call your name, step forward to perform the strength test. First up, He Congrui..." The assessment began with each of the candidates testing their strength one by one. There were eighteen people participating in the assessment, and soon, seventeen had been tested. Among these seventeen, the strongest had barely reached over four hundred pounds, hardly comparable to a martial artist with inner strength. At this point, everyone’s gaze fell on Ye Feng, looking at him with disdain, not expecting him to score highly as he was just a newcomer who had been at Heavenly Origin Martial Arts Hall for less than half a month. "Well, all the candidates have been tested. Now I will announce the top eight with the highest scores!" Director Gao declared. Just then, everyone was stunned—how could the assessment be over when Ye Feng hadn’t yet been tested? "Wait a minute!" At that moment, Lin Shiyu shouted, frowning deeply and looking quite upset. "Oh?" Director Gao looked toward Shiyu and asked, "Miss Lin, do you have a question?" "Ye Feng also signed up, why hasn’t he been tested before the assessment ended?" Shiyu asked. This wasn’t just a question from Shiyu, but from everyone. They were all waiting to see Ye Feng embarrass himself, and he hadn’t been called up yet. With a dark expression, Director Gao said, "I’m sorry, there were only seventeen people registered this time. I didn’t receive Ye Feng’s registration form or the registration fee!" After hearing Director Gao’s words, the crowd burst into a commotion, sneering at Ye Feng: "So he was really just bragging. He said he wanted to pass the special level certification assessment, but he didn’t even have the courage to sign up. Now that I see he hasn’t registered, I feel relieved!" At that moment, Sun De sneered at Ye Feng. Ye Feng’s registration form and fee had not been submitted. Ye Feng remained calm, without showing any emotional fluctuation on his face. Ye Feng looked at Sun De and asked indifferently, "My registration fee and form, you didn’t submit them?" With disdain, Sun De feigned ignorance, "What registration fee, what form? I have no idea, Ye Feng, stop pretending. When did you ever hand them over to me? Although you said you wanted to register, I have never seen the fee or form!" Sun De knew that as a martial artist with inner strength, Ye Feng would easily pass the special level assessment, so the only way to stop Ye Feng was to prevent him from registering.
