18: Chapter 18 Or... should I squat down?

Fortunately, Chen Mo's physique had also improved significantly; as long as he kept the force of a single punch around ten tons, he wouldn't hurt himself even if he threw a punch into the air.

"Still too weak..."

"Should I raise my physique to 200 before adding points to strength?"

Chen Mo rubbed his chin, thinking this plan was quite feasible.

Beep beep!

A sharp honking sound rang out, and Chen Mo poked his head out to look outside the window.

He saw Principal Liu Zhifeng and Wang Jun roll down the car window and wave at him.

"Why are you guys here?"

Having put on his clothes, Chen Mo, in his relaxed state, stood beside the SUV like a wall.

Principal Liu Zhifeng and Wang Jun instinctively looked up, staring in a daze for quite a while at the giant whose biceps were larger than their own heads.

"No matter how many times I see it, this state of yours is quite shocking..."

Wang Jun reached out and patted Chen Mo's bicep; the sensation was like patting a hard tire.

"Isn't it time for the pre-exam checkup?"

"Tomorrow is the City-level Joint Exam, and only the top ten can enter the next round, the Provincial Joint Examination."

"However, as long as you reach the top twenty-five in the City-level Joint Exam, you can be recommended for admission to any martial arts academy except the National Martial Arts University."

"But the limits of you two are far beyond what the City-level Joint Exam can constrain. I hope you can go and take a shot at the Provincial Joint Examination."

"If it's possible... or rather, if you're lucky enough, you might even be able to break directly into the National Joint Examination."

"As long as you enter the National Joint Examination, you'll be directly recommended for admission to the National Martial Arts University!"

Principal Liu Zhifeng became more and more excited as he spoke, his saliva even spraying onto Chen Mo's pectorals.

"Alright, alright, let's hurry up and get the physical exam done."

Chen Mo didn't want to keep listening to Principal Liu Zhifeng's nagging, so he pulled open the car door and sat inside.

"By the way, you two kids know that this path to the heavens, the Joint Exam, is broadcast live the whole time, right?"

"And there will be many spectators at the exam venue; you two won't get stage fright, right?"

On the way, Principal Liu Zhifeng seemed to suddenly remember something and turned his head to look at the two of them.

"Don't worry, I never get stage fright."

Chen Mo pushed Principal Liu Zhifeng's head back; why couldn't this old guy watch the road while driving?

"Every candidate gets three family tickets. Remember to let your family come and cheer you on when the time comes."

Principal Liu Zhifeng wanted to turn back again, but the red light at the intersection forced him to watch the road.

"By the way, how many people are participating in the City-level Joint Exam?"

Chen Mo frowned; he remembered Instructor Liu saying everyone had to participate.

If that were the case, wouldn't the one-on-one tournament take over a month?

"In the end, only thirty-two people will actually participate in the Joint Exam. Talent-based Martial Artists like you are seeded players, while the other Ascetic Martial Artists all need to participate in the preliminaries."

"After one round of elimination, only thirty-two people remain, with Ascetic Martial Artists occupying the vast majority of the spots."

"There are only seven Talent-based Martial Artists in total. Our Third High School has you two, Experimental High School has Su Qingyue and Zhuo Jida, and then there are the three from First High School."

After listening to Principal Liu Zhifeng's explanation, Chen Mo breathed a sigh of relief.

If it's thirty-two people, it will be over after five matches at most.

"The talents of these Talent-based Martial Artists are more outrageous than the last. You two must be careful."

Principal Liu Zhifeng recounted all the intelligence he knew, and Chen Mo and Wang Jun listened with great interest.

"Zhuo Jida has Ion Control, and the two from First High School have Super Acceleration and 'Melting Gold' respectively."

"That Melting Gold kid has a hybrid talent of fire and metal elements, which is also very strong."

"But the talents of Su Qingyue and that Cheng Men are the most outrageous."

"Su Qingyue specializes in jujutsu, and combined with her True Sight Eye, almost no martial artist below the third rank in all of Luo City is her match."

Chen Mo interrupted Principal Liu Zhifeng; he didn't know what this True Sight Eye was yet.

Is it some kind of X-ray vision?

"No, it's not X-ray vision, but precognition."

Principal Liu Zhifeng shook his head, and the three words 'Precognition Eye' left Chen Mo and Wang Jun stunned on the spot.

"Precognition is just the basic ability of that True Sight Eye; those eyes can also see through an opponent's weaknesses, which is quite terrifying."

"But the one who counters you the most is that Cheng Men."

When mentioning Cheng Men, Principal Liu Zhifeng couldn't help but sigh.

"That kid's talent is 'Energy Devour,' whether it's chemical energy, kinetic energy, or physical energy; as long as it's energy, his body will completely devour it."

"And finally, he returns all the accumulated energy to the opponent without leaving a drop."

Screech!

The SUV screeched to a halt in front of the Luocheng Sports Center.

A banner with the four characters 'Physical Examination Center' hung in front of a glass door; it seemed this was the destination.

"By the way, Wang Jun's talent is Fire Element Control, Chen Mo, what exactly do you plan to name your talent?"

Speaking of this, both Wang Jun and Principal Liu Zhifeng turned their heads curiously.

"Talent name?"

Chen Mo was stunned for a moment; he really hadn't thought about these things.

"Look, everyone's talent has a cool name. You wouldn't name your talent something that sounds as trashy as 'Big Strength,' would you?"

Wang Jun completely agreed with Principal Liu Zhifeng; a talent name needs to be cool to be stylish enough.

"Come to think of it, that makes some sense."

Chen Mo nodded in agreement and finally finalized the name of his talent.

"Let's just call it 'Big Strength'!"

Principal Liu Zhifeng: "..."

Wang Jun: "..."

However, in the end, the two couldn't argue with Chen Mo, so they had to let him write the three characters 'Big Strength' in the 'Talent' column of the data form.

The staff member looked at the data form in their hand, then looked up at the wall-like Chen Mo in front of them, and finally nodded in agreement.

"It certainly looks like 'Big Strength'!"

"Go ahead, go get your blood drawn and urine tested. Once the results are out, you can come to me to collect your contestant ID card."

Holding his martial artist ID, Chen Mo plopped down onto the stool in front of the blood collection window.

With a snap, the small plastic stool shattered into pieces on the floor.

Chen Mo and the nurse at the window stared at each other awkwardly, and after a few seconds, he spoke.

"How about... I just squat?"
