26: Qi and Blood 4.0! Entering the realm of martial artist

Chief Wang's expression froze instantly.

As the Chief of the Jiangnan City Martial Alliance Association, he was all too aware of the Chen Corporation's weight.

This business behemoth was not only an important financier for the local Martial Alliance but also wielded significant influence in both political and business circles. Forget him, even Chairman Cheng had to show the Chen Corporation some respect!

At this moment, Li Dazhu, who was in the corner of the hall, was also completely stunned, his eyes filled with disbelief.

"How... how is this possible!"

Su Lei?

An advisor to the Chen Corporation?

This news hit Li Dazhu like a heavy hammer.

In Jiangnan City, the Chen Corporation's name was known to all.

He had originally planned to apply for a security captain position there after getting his new Martial Artist certificate.

As for an advisor, he hadn't even considered it.

The minimum requirement for recruitment was a Fourth-Stage Martial Artist!

How could this guy, whom he looked down upon, have such good luck?

Watching Su Lei exchange pleasantries with Chen Sheng.

An uncontrollable surge of jealousy suddenly rose in Li Dazhu's heart, his fingernails digging deep into his palms... "Chief Wang, are you going to explain the situation, or should I go fetch Chairman Cheng?"

"Su Lei's Martial Artist certificate couldn't have been canceled by himself, could it?"

Chen Sheng's voice sounded once again.

Chief Wang's face immediately turned ugly, and fine beads of sweat seeped from his forehead.

Just as he was racking his brains for a suitable excuse, steady footsteps suddenly came from the stairs on the second floor.

"Ch-Chairman!"

Chief Wang murmured, his voice laced with panic.

Under everyone's gaze, a white-haired old man slowly walked down the stairs.

Though aged, his back was straight, his steps steady, and his entire being exuded an Aura of unchallengeable authority.

The old man gently waved his hand, directly ordering: "Go! Restore Mr. Su's Martial Artist certificate, then arrange the assessment."

The voice was not loud, but it carried an undeniable authority, echoing throughout the entire hall.

"I... I understand..."

In less than a minute, the staff had restored Su Lei's canceled Martial Artist certificate to its original state.

And respectfully invited him into a room.

Besides Chen Sheng and Old Cheng, a large group of curious onlookers followed behind.

They really wanted to know, this man, a Third-Stage Martial Artist who defeated Li Dazhu with one punch,

This mysterious advisor who could make the second boss of the Chen Corporation personally appear,

What kind of strength did he possess!

...The Martial Artist assessment consisted of two basic tests: physical fitness and strength.

The former was the Martial Artist's Foundation, and the latter determined combat ability; both had to meet the standard to pass.

If special qualifications were needed, such as opening a martial arts hall or joining the army, then a practical combat test was required.

First up was the physical fitness test.

The testing room had soft lighting, and the surrounding walls were embedded with precise instruments.

The staff took out several black metal plates and carefully attached them to Su Lei's chest, back, thighs, and other key areas.

The metal plates were cool to the touch, with a faint sensation of electricity.

Another staff member inserted a data card into the instrument.

The LCD screen immediately lit up.

With a faint electric hum, the previously steady straight line on the screen began to fluctuate, and the values continuously climbed.

After a few seconds, it stopped at a certain point and no longer changed.

A line of large characters also appeared on the screen.

【Qi and Blood Value: 4.021】

Not just the staff, but Su Lei, who was on the recliner, couldn't help but sit up straight.

Ever since the Vibration Method replaced breathing, his Qi and blood had been steadily increasing every moment.

But to say what had the greatest impact on his physique, it was still the Tendons Strengthening and Bone Tempering Medicine and that Fourth-Stage beast core.

Although he had expected it, he was still stunned by the number.

According to the standards set by the Martial Alliance.

The passing line for a First-Stage Martial Artist's Qi and blood value was 1.5, Second-Stage 2.0, Third-Stage 2.5, and Fourth-Stage 3.

4.021.

This had already stepped into the threshold of a Martial Master!

The onlookers instantly erupted into an uproar.

"Did I see that right? 4.021?"

"Is the instrument broken?"

"Li Dazhu just tested a few minutes ago, and the value was completely normal!"

"Oh my god, a Martial Master-level Qi and blood value!"

..."This... this is impossible! Isn't he a Second-Stage Martial Artist?!"

Li Dazhu at the door stared blankly at the screen, muttering repeatedly.

His mind was blank, completely losing the ability to think.

Chief Wang next to him also had a dazed expression, unable to utter a word for a long time.

"Indeed, he has reached the threshold of a Martial Master."

Old Cheng's voice broke the silence.

He turned to Chen Sheng, a glimmer of light flashing in his eyes: "An advisor with such strength, the Chen Corporation truly is a place where hidden Dragons and crouching tigers reside."

Chen Sheng smiled and nodded, his gaze behind his gold-rimmed glasses still fixed on the screen,

His brows slightly furrowed, as if contemplating something.

Su Lei removed the metal plates from his body and walked towards Chairman Cheng.

Old Cheng's face also showed a kind smile.

The status of a Martial Master was enough to earn anyone's respect.

Moreover, Su Lei was only 30 years old this year, which could be considered to have boundless prospects.

"Next is the strength test, if there are no problems..."

Old Cheng's words were suddenly interrupted.

"Before the next test, I want to know something..."

Su Lei looked at the dazed Chief Wang at the door, a slight smirk playing on his lips.

"My Martial Artist certificate... who exactly canceled it?"

Old Cheng pondered for a moment, then beckoned a staff member over.

"Go, pull up the backend data and surveillance footage."

A moment later, the staff member returned.

After a whispered conversation, the old man's face visibly darkened at a rapid pace.

"Simply outrageous!"

"Martial Alliance, when did it become your Wang family's?"

Old Cheng suddenly roared, his voice making the glass vibrate.

His sharp gaze shot directly towards the door,

"Chief Wang, you truly have great audacity."

Chief Wang's face turned pale, his legs went weak, and he fell to his knees with a thud.

"I, I..."

"Go and hand over your duties. From today onwards, you are no longer a member here."

Old Cheng announced coldly, then turned to Chen Sheng and Su Lei: "Are the two of you satisfied with this handling?"

Chen Sheng looked at Su Lei.

Su Lei nodded slightly.

Just as everyone was preparing to move to the strength testing room,

Chief Wang suddenly looked up and shouted excitedly,

"Wait!"

"A Second-Stage Martial Artist absolutely cannot have such a Qi and blood value!"

He struggled to stand up, pointing at Su Lei, his eyes filled with unwillingness and anger.

"He must have taken a Blood-Inducing Pill!"

Upon hearing the words "Blood-Inducing Pill," everyone's expressions suddenly changed.

This type of medicine was a controlled substance by the Martial Alliance.

Taking it could stimulate potential in a short period, but the cost was permanent organ damage.

It was supposed to be a desperate measure used in life-or-death situations when facing exotic beasts.

However, some people intentionally took this medicine to pass assessments and exploit the Martial Alliance's benefits and subsidies.

Later, when the Martial Alliance discovered this, it was strictly prohibited.

"I knew it, how could a Second-Stage Martial Artist defeat Li Dazhu in one move."

"This is a prison sentence!"

"Is this guy crazy? Taking so much!"

"Let's see how he gets out of this..."
