Chapter 8: Testing Strength
Chapter 8:
After eating and drinking, Yang Wu planned to say goodbye and leave.
But just as he was about to leave, Liu Dehui suddenly asked him to stay.
"Young man from the Yang family!" Liu Dehui, who had been silent all this time, suddenly called out to Yang Wu, "If you don't have to join the Wang family, would you be willing to take me as your master?
Although I am only a mid-level warrior, I have some knowledge of spearmanship. If you take me as your master, I will definitely teach you all my spearmanship!"
After hearing Liu Dehui's words, Yang Wu hadn't said anything yet, but Wang Zijin was already stunned.
Liu Dehui's spear skills are extremely famous in the martial arts circle of Jiangnan Base City, otherwise, he would not have earned the nickname "One-armed Spear Demon".
But now, such a famous warrior actually took the initiative to ask for a disciple, without any additional conditions. It was simply unbelievable.
However, Liu Dehui was feeling somewhat expectant at this moment.
Just now, Yang Wu crushed the wine glass, but Wang Zijin, who was not a warrior, didn't notice anything. However, the experienced Liu Dehui saw through it at a glance - Yang Wu's punching force must have exceeded 2,000 kilograms.
A person who just passed the quasi-warrior assessment can reach a strength of 2,000 kilograms. Is there any other explanation besides the success of genetic cultivation?
No!
"It's been less than a day since he passed the assessment, but he can already successfully sense the energy of the universe, and his strength has increased by more than 1,000 kilograms. With such talent, he will definitely be able to reach the level of a general in the future. Even if he becomes a god of war, there is still a glimmer of hope!" Liu Dehui sighed secretly in his heart.
"Senior Liu!" Yang Wu bowed slightly and said, "I'm sorry, I'm going to let you down!"
As the saying goes, "Once a teacher, always a father." Yang Wu certainly would not easily take someone as his teacher.
"this..."
Wang Zijin was even more shocked when he heard that Yang Wu refused the opportunity to become Liu Dehui's disciple.
That's a mid-level general. If he had a master who was a mid-level general, his status in the Wang family would probably be greatly improved. As for Liu Dehui now, he was just his father's connection.
After the shock, the meticulous Wang Zijin realized that there must be something about Yang Wu that he didn't understand, otherwise Liu Dehui, a powerful general-level warrior, would never have taken the initiative to accept him as a disciple.
"Awu!" Wang Zijin said quickly, "Uncle Liu is very famous in the martial arts circle of Jiangnan Base City! Don't worry, even if you worship Uncle Liu as your master, I, Wang Zijin, will never force you to join the Wang family!"
Although he didn't know what exactly happened, Wang Zijin decided to win over Yang Wu as much as possible.
"Brother Wang, how could I not know Senior Liu's name! But, the matter of becoming his disciple is a serious matter, so I still need to think about it carefully!"
As soon as Yang Wu finished speaking, Liu Dehui and the others knew that they had no chance of becoming his disciples.
…
After Yang Wu left, only Wang Zijin and Liu Dehui were left in the box.
"Uncle Liu!" Wang Zijin stood up and asked respectfully, "You just took the initiative to accept Yang Wu as your apprentice. Is there any reason that I don't know?"
Liu Dehui drank the wine in the glass and said slowly: "This person has good talent. He should be able to reach the level of a general in the future!"
"Commander-level?" Wang Zijin was surprised and asked, "Uncle Liu, are you telling the truth?"
"Of course!" Liu Dehui nodded slightly. "This man was able to crush the wine glass just now. His strength must have exceeded 2,000 kilograms. I have been through life and death in the wilderness for so many years, so I still have some good eyesight!"
"2000 kilograms, doesn't that mean Yang Wu has already possessed the strength of a mid-level warrior?" Wang Zijin asked puzzledly as he walked over to pour wine for Liu Dehui.
Although Wang Zijin himself lacks talent, he has many warriors around him, so he has a clear understanding of the division of warrior-level warriors' strength.
"Yes!" Liu Dehui said affirmatively: "This person must have successfully cultivated his genetic energy, which is why his strength has increased greatly."
"It's been less than a day, and you've already successfully sensed the energy of the universe. You really have a great talent!" Liu Dehui sighed, "It's a pity that I wanted to accept you as my disciple, but was rejected!"
Liu Dehui didn't want to accept a disciple at first. He was here only for the sake of Wang Zijin's father. So Yang Wu didn't want to join the Wang family, and Liu Dehui certainly wouldn't take the initiative to accept him as a disciple. But after Yang Wu revealed his talent, Liu Dehui was tempted.
Geniuses like Yang Wu are usually recruited by major forces after passing the quasi-warrior assessment. He is lucky to have met one.
He is already old. If he can accept Yang Wu as his disciple and teach him carefully, when Yang Wu reaches the level of a general, he will be able to help him a lot. After all, the master-disciple relationship is still very reliable.
Unfortunately, his strength did not impress the other party.
"This..." When Wang Zijin heard Liu Dehui's sigh, he felt even more regretful in his heart, regretting that he had not shown more sincerity just now.
He just increased the start-up capital to 5 million, which means he thinks Yang Wu will be able to reach the advanced warrior level in the future, and he also has many familiar warrior friends who can give him a lot of help when the time comes.
But for a future general-level warrior, 5 million in cash seems insignificant.
Perhaps a general-level warrior is nothing to the entire Wang family, but for Wang Zijin, it is a great help. After all, Xu Feiyue, the strongest warrior around him, is only at the intermediate warrior level.
"It seems that I still have to find a way to win over Awu!" Wang Zijin secretly made up his mind.
Seeing Wang Zijin's expression, Liu Dehui knew what he was thinking, so he could not help but persuade him: "Zijin, this man is very ambitious, you can't win him over!"
"Ambition?" Wang Zijin smiled and said confidently, "I can't win him over, but I still have my father, right?
How can the huge Wang family not accommodate his ambition? Even if he can break through to the level of a general, or even the level of a god of war, our Wang family can accommodate him!"
Although he said this, Wang Zijin didn't think that Yang Wu had a chance to break through to the God of War level.
There are billions of people in the world, but there are only more than 3,000 war god-level warriors.
If Yang Wu could break through to the God of War level, given the relationship between the two, even if Yang Wu did not join the Wang family, Wang Zijin would benefit greatly.
…
Yangzhou City, Yian District.
After Yang Wu left the HR Alliance Mall, he quickly took a car to the Extreme Martial Arts Hall in Yian District.
"Brother Yang!"
"Hello, Brother Yang."
Along the way, there were a large number of martial arts students.
Yang Wu listened to the respectful shouts all the way and entered the third floor of the teaching building. "Brother Yang!"
"Yang Wu is here!"
When Yang Wu walked into the hall, more than a dozen senior students greeted him enthusiastically. In the past, some people called Yang Wu "Xiao Yang", but today, I didn't hear that anymore.
"Brother Yang, I heard that both you and 'Crazy' passed the quasi-warrior assessment. Is that true?" a senior student asked curiously.
"It was just luck!" Yang Wu said modestly.
"Brother Yang, you are too modest!"
"Yes, Brother Yang. Can you give me some advice when you are free?"
A group of people surrounded Yang Wu enthusiastically.
"No problem!" Yang Wu said with a smile, "In fact, I am only half a step faster. If you work harder, you can pass the test! I have something else to do, so I will go up first."
After Yang Wu finished speaking, he hurried towards the stairs to the fourth floor.
These people are too enthusiastic. If they stay on the third floor to test their strength, who knows what kind of trouble they will cause.
The fourth floor of the teaching building is where instructors and teachers often go, and students are not qualified to enter.
When the senior students heard Yang Wu's words, they quickly made way for him and looked at him enviously.
Next to the stairs on the fourth floor, there is a small room where an old man is on duty.
The old man saw Yang Wu coming over, stood up and said with a smile: "Yang Wu, you have wanted to go to the fourth floor for a long time, and today you finally got your wish!"
"Uncle Li!" Yang Wu bowed slightly when he saw the old man and said, "I'll go to the fourth floor to test my strength!"
"Go!" said the old man with a smile.
It was already late, and instructor Jiang Nian and several other teachers had finished their lessons and left the martial arts hall. Therefore, Yang Wu was the only one in the huge martial arts training hall on the fourth floor.
Yang Wu was very happy looking at the various more advanced training equipment on the fourth floor.
"Test your own strength first!"
Yang Wu's mind moved, and he quickly came to the punching force testing machine in the corner of the martial arts hall.
"breathe!"
Yang Wu took a deep breath slowly.
With a bang, Yang Wu's right fist slammed hard onto the target of the punch force tester.
The boxing target shook violently.
Suddenly, a line of numbers appeared on the screen of the punching force testing machine - "6231kg".
Generally speaking, 4000kg is already the bottom line for high-level warriors, while 8000kg is even the bottom line for junior generals.
Of course, this is just an approximate numerical standard. Nowadays, strength is not judged based on physical fitness, but on the record of killing monsters.
After all, physical fitness is only a part of strength. Now Yang Wu has the physical fitness of an advanced warrior, but without any practical experience, he is afraid that he cannot deal with advanced beast soldier-level monsters.
"It seems that my physical fitness is not just as simple as just reaching the advanced warrior level!" Looking at the numbers on the screen, Yang Wu was delighted, "Test the speed again!"
Yang Wu walked to the speed testing machine, turned it on, and then stood on the runway.
With a sudden force of his legs, Yang Wu shot out like an arrow. In the blink of an eye, he reached the other end of the runway.
After stopping, Yang Wu walked to the speed test machine and looked at the number displayed on the screen - "79.4m/s".
"Not bad!" Yang Wu was very happy when he saw the test results.
Generally speaking, a speed of 60 meters per second is the bottom line for advanced warrior-level warriors, while 90 meters per second is the bottom line for junior general-level warriors.
"Finally, let's test the speed of our nerve reactions!"
Yang Wu turned on the neural response tester, switched it to the 'Advanced Warrior Level' mode, and then walked into the testing room.
A minute later, Yang Wu walked out of the testing room and looked at the results on the screen of the neurological response test machine - "60 seconds, hit 17 times, no red light touched, excellent!"
"Strength: 6231kg."
"Speed 79.4 meters per second."
"Nerve reaction speed, advanced warrior level, excellent."
Such physical fitness can be regarded as upper-middle level among advanced warriors. However, Yang Wu's physical fitness has only improved to the advanced warrior level. His physical strength, spear skills, and body movements are still at the same level as before, so he was able to crush the wine glass before.
"In the next period of time, I must completely transform my physical strength into my own strength. Otherwise, I will just be a paper tiger with only strength in my body." Yang Wu thought secretly in his heart.
After testing his own strength, Yang Wu randomly selected a suitable spear in the armory and began to practice in the hall on the fourth floor.
Sweep, stab, charge, slash, smash...
Yang Wu stood there, slowly performing various basic spear techniques. Each move was performed very standardly, just like a textbook.
It was precisely because of such a solid foundation that Yang Wu was able to continuously guide Luo Feng in his cultivation.
In this way, Yang Wu practiced until ten o'clock in the evening before returning home.
