4: Can Bai Haoran also obtain warrior certification?
A bold idea suddenly popped into Li Ziyu's mind.
However, he immediately shook his head and dismissed it, laughing self-deprecatingly, "I'm really getting ahead of myself. Ferocious beasts are not like wild beasts; even the lowest-grade First Grade Warrior has far more combat power than a Northeast Tiger."
"With my current 0.9 qi and blood, I'd probably be slapped to death in one go."
"Ferocious beasts are out of the question for now, but going outside the city to kill some Red-Eyed Rabbits might be feasible."
"Forget it, let's not think about that for now. Let's test my combat power again."
After pondering, Li Ziyu clicked the 'End Test' button, and the tubes attached to him automatically detached.
Li Ziyu walked out of the qi and blood testing machine, holding his hands out.
He walked over and stopped in front of a humanoid ironwood dummy.
It was called a wooden dummy.
But in the center of the wooden dummy, there was something similar to an electronic display screen.
Its shape was somewhat similar to the punch force testing device he had in his previous life.
This ironwood humanoid target had special equipment inside that could measure combat power.
As long as a full-force attack was delivered to the target, it would automatically convert the attack into combat power and display it on the target's electronic screen.
It was quite amazing.
Although it could only test the strength of warriors below the second grade.
But he wasn't even a warrior yet, so the ironwood target was definitely sufficient.
Li Ziyu studied it for a while but couldn't figure out its principle, so he simply stopped thinking about it.
Qi and blood are the foundation of a warrior.
Generally speaking, the stronger a warrior's qi and blood, the more powerful their combat ability.
Under normal circumstances, multiplying qi and blood by one hundred can give a warrior's combat power.
But it's not absolute.
Because the factors affecting the strength of combat power, in addition to qi and blood, also include Battle Skill bonuses.
For example, fist techniques, Knife Skill, sword techniques, spear techniques, etc., these can all be called basic martial arts.
"Fortunately, I also master Knife Skill, although it's Elementary Swordsmanship, at least it's a means of fighting the enemy."
"Let's first try how much combat power I can achieve without using martial arts."
"Hah!"
Li Ziyu stared at the target in front of him, calming his mind and concentrating.
He assumed a horse stance, tensed all his muscles, put force into his right fist, and punched the target in front of him fiercely.
With a thud, the ironwood target made a dull sound.
A bright red value also popped up on the electronic screen above it.
92!
He rotated his waist slightly and shouted, changing his fist to a leg.
Li Ziyu delivered another whip kick to the target.
Another dull thud, and another number popped up on the electronic display screen above the target.
93!
...
It's true that the arm can't twist the thigh, there's a point to that saying.
The power of a whip kick is indeed greater than the power of a punch.
However, this fluctuation is too small.
The conversion between qi and blood and combat power did not exceed the standard at all.
Li Ziyu exhaled a turbid breath and couldn't help but complain.
What does this mean?
It means that although the amount of qi and blood in his body has increased, its quality has not.
"Let's try with a knife again."
He had just used pure physical strength, and the combat power increase was not significant.
He lifted his foot and walked to the weapon rack in the corner, picking out an alloy long knife from the densely hung weapons.
He weighed it in his hand; the weight was just right.
"Elementary Swordsmanship!"
"Splitting Mount Hua!"
With the knife in hand, Li Ziyu walked back to the target and shouted a familiar slogan.
Then, he put force into his right hand, which was holding the knife, and slashed it fiercely diagonally at the target with a whoosh.
A dull sound, much louder than before, echoed, and the target, made entirely of ironwood, shook violently.
A white knife mark was also left on the surface of the ironwood.
On the electronic screen, a number, slightly darker in color than before, flickered.
102!
Under the boost of Elementary Swordsmanship, his combat power for this strike reached 102!
A ten percent increase in combat power.
"Sure enough, Battle Skill is very important for combat power. Just Elementary Swordsmanship can achieve a ten percent increase in combat power."
"So what if it's Intermediate Blade Technique, or even advanced Knife Skill? Wouldn't that be even stronger?"
"Or even beyond advanced? Or even higher than basic martial arts, what about Battle Skill?"
Li Ziyu's heart was surging with excitement.
The system's function is definitely not as simple as just increasing qi and blood; it is very likely that it can also improve Battle Skill later on.
He needs to increase his qi and blood to verify this.
"The minimum undergraduate line for the Martial Exam requires a qi and blood value of 1.2 and combat power to reach 140."
"I currently have 0.92 qi and blood and 101 combat power."
"In other words, as long as I keep killing creatures and follow the system's enhancements, I can definitely get into a martial arts university undergraduate program within a week."
"It's even possible to get into a better martial arts university!"
"However, with this system, it seems I might not even need to attend a martial arts university?"
"I could also just focus on hunting ferocious beasts and take the path of a social warrior?"
Li Ziyu pondered inwardly.
But thinking about these things was still too far off.
What was urgent now was to quickly increase his qi and blood and improve his strength.
A moment later, after testing his combat power a few more times, Li Ziyu put the battle knife back on the weapon rack and pushed the door open to leave the testing room.
...
"Brother Bai Haoran, your qi and blood value is already 1.4, right? Getting into a top-tier university is definitely not a problem!"
At the front desk.
Xu Mengyao sat gracefully on the chair, her face gentle as she watched Bai Haoran, who was sitting beside her, waiting for a training room to become available.
Bai Haoran nodded indifferently, but his tone revealed pride and arrogance:
"It's not 1.4, it's already 1.5."
"Wow! It's already 1.5!? Doesn't that mean you've already met the certification standard for a First Grade Warrior!?"
Hearing Bai Haoran's words, Xu Mengyao couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, her face full of astonishment.
Bai Haoran smiled faintly, took a sip of tea, and nodded:
"Hmm, if there are no problems with this qi and blood test, I plan to go to the Xu Jiang City Warrior Association tomorrow to take the First Grade Warrior assessment."
Their conversation was undisguised, and the beautiful front desk attendant heard it clearly, looking at Bai Haoran with surprise.
She hadn't expected this young man to be a genius; reaching First Grade Warrior at such a young age.
This was rare in the entire Xu Jiang City.
The beautiful female employee somewhat understood why Xu Mengyao was with Bai Haoran.
"I'm done with the test, here's your room card back."
Just then, Li Ziyu's figure emerged from inside the Hong Su Martial Arts Hall, taking two steps to the counter and placing the black card on the table.
"Heh, done testing? Given up, have you?"
"If you don't have martial arts talent, then just be an ordinary person. I hope you won't bother me again in the future."
Xu Mengyao, standing nearby, spoke sarcastically to Li Ziyu.
Just thinking about Li Ziyu's cold attitude towards her earlier made her feel angry.
A simp who used to be at her beck and call, an ordinary person destined to have no martial arts talent, how dare he look at her with such a disgusted look, as if she were roadside trash?
Li Ziyu completely ignored Xu Mengyao, as if she were air.
If a dog bites him, should he bite back?
Towards a gold-digger and green tea bitch like Xu Mengyao.
Li Ziyu felt that saying one more word to her would be an insult to himself.
After putting down the room card, Li Ziyu turned and walked out of the Hong Su Martial Arts Hall.
"You!"
Xu Mengyao was so angered by Li Ziyu's cold attitude that her chest heaved, and her pretty face turned red.
Sometimes being ignored is more unbearable than being scolded or hit back.
"A low-class loser, can't even get into a martial arts university, yet he acts like a warrior. What's he pretending for?"
"I really want to see how low your qi and blood and combat power are!"
