7: A look from higher-ups: add me as a friend?

"Second Uncle!"

"Second Uncle, open the door quickly!"

A pale young man with heavy dark circles under his eyes kept pounding on the door of the Vice Dean's office.

Just as the young man was considering whether to 'break in'...

*Click.*

The door opened.

A dark-faced middle-aged man with twitching eyes gestured dismissively for the youth to enter.

The middle-aged man's face was well-defined with resolute lines.

He gave off a solemn and majestic feeling; he was tall, and his exposed arms seemed to radiate virtue and reason.

The young man walked in carelessly, skillfully picked up the teapot, and poured it into his mouth.

He asked dissatisfiedly, "Second Uncle, why isn't this tea the kind that boosts Yuan Qi today? It's not satisfying enough!"

Then he shouted loudly, "I, Zhou Weifeng, am the Senior Brother of our Weapon Combat Department."

I'm the one who led the team to win the Global Martial Arts School League championship twice!"

"Is this how you treat the nation's Prodigy?"

The middle-aged man sat down calmly against the backrest and said, "How many times have I told you to use my official title at school?"

"Okay, Second Uncle! No problem, Second Uncle!"

"Second Uncle, I just discovered a wild Genius who is destined for our Weapon Combat Department!" Zhou Weifeng said quickly.

"Yesterday, a Rank 2 Martial Artist in Yunxiao Prefecture got a perfect score on the certification test. The System automatically reported it to the admissions office."

"I just happened to be there to see if there were any junior sisters worth paying attention to."

"Ouch! Guess what? I found a treasure!"

Vice Dean Zhou watched the shared video and said, "Don't do this next time. Students will be held accountable for taking these internal videos."

"The admissions office complained to me last year. If it weren't for your father breaking through to the Saint Rank and going to guard the front line of World No. 4..."

"The academy would have disciplined you long ago!"

The youth ate the Spirit Fruit on the coffee table indifferently and said, "I didn't dare cause trouble in my freshman year. Now I'm Rank 7 and about to graduate, and I still shouldn't dare cause trouble?"

"Wouldn't that mean I practiced martial arts for nothing?"

After watching the video, Vice Dean Zhou looked distressedly at the Spirit Fruit that had been 'cleaned out'. He barely managed to suppress his anger, but was immediately choked by the youth's words.

"Cough, cough!"

"Second Uncle, drink some water. Uh, the tea is finished. How about I go buy you a bottle of water?" The youth looked at his Second Uncle innocently while rubbing his head.

Vice Dean Zhou took another deep breath, feeling like his Rank 8 Peak strength was almost killed by anger.

"But fortunately, this brat graduates next month."

"When the time comes, I must take in a well-behaved disciple who respects teachers and the Dao!" Vice Dean Zhou kept comforting himself.

"The movement Martial Skill of the student in the video is very profound, at least a Rank 9 Martial Skill, and there's even a hint of Space Law."

"But a good Martial Skill doesn't prove much."

"The most important thing is that his physical strength is extremely exaggerated!"

Vice Dean Zhou watched it again.

In the video, Jiang Hao's punch pierced the AI's heart. He didn't use any Martial Skill or Yuan Qi, relying entirely on his own strength.

"This is a physical strength that only Rank 4 should have!"

"The arena was even dented by this guy's stomp. The strike that pierced the heart has already exceeded the speed of sound."

"If it weren't for the anti-gore mechanism in the Virtual Combat Space below Rank 4 preventing the human body from being smashed into pieces, the AI wouldn't even have a body left."

The AIs for promotion tests are carefully selected by the Xia Kingdom. Basically, besides Prodigies, ordinary people can't get a perfect score.

The original purpose of setting this AI was to tell those Martial Artists not to think they are invincible just because they promoted.

If you can't even beat a computer, what are you showing off for? Go back and Cultivate honestly.

As a result, it has now become a tool for major Martial Schools to snatch Prodigy students in advance.

Looking at Jiang Hao's simple and unadorned beauty of strength, Vice Dean Zhou shouted in his heart:

"This child is destined to enter my Weapon Combat Department!"

"Weifeng, go call the teacher in charge of the admissions office and tell him that we, Shenzhou Martial Arts School, must secure this Jiang Hao!"

Our Weapon Combat Department can even offer an S-rank contract!"

An S-rank contract has the best benefits and the least responsibilities.

Basically, every top Martial School works hard to compete for talent by constantly increasing benefits.

The youth said with an "I already knew it" look, "I told you I found a treasure!"

A Martial Artist without a Family or support from a major power...

Who can promote to Rank 2 before the National College Entrance Examination and have physical strength comparable to Rank 4...

Definitely possesses an ultra-strong Physical Body talent! With just a little training...

He will surely be able to lead Shenzhou Martial Arts School to win the Global Martial Arts School League championship in the future!

...Jiang Hao and the future mage had a friendly exchange, and both sides were very satisfied. The only drawback was that the mage was too weak.

Jiang Hao hadn't even felt the power of spells before the mage surrendered.

"As expected, smiles don't disappear; they just transfer to the people who need them!" Jiang Hao clicked on the next match with satisfaction.

"Matching successful. The battle will begin in thirty seconds. Please select your weapon."

Jiang Hao casually chose a long saber and looked at the opponent.

A female who had enabled 'facial blurring'.

Her specific age was unknown, but her figure was very good. To put it bluntly:

Exquisite curves, a slender waist, and long legs.

Unfortunately, Jiang Hao didn't have much education, so he could only say "So pretty!" in his heart.

The woman holding a sword with one hand looked at Jiang Hao and spoke:

"Hello? Excuse me, are you the Fish Fry King?"

She clearly used a voice changer, giving off a synthetic AI voice feeling.

"Battle begins!"

The Virtual Combat System's voice rang out.

Jiang Hao threw away his weapon as usual and nodded, saying, "Matched with me before?"

Seeing that Jiang Hao didn't immediately send her home, the woman also nodded: "I met you for the first time last night, but I lost."

The woman's voice sounded very flat without any fluctuation.

Jiang Hao complained in his heart, "What brand of voice changer is this? It sounds like a female ghost."

But losing, isn't that normal?

Although Jiang Hao's face was also covered by black mist, he still showed a certain Flame Emperor-style smile: "It was just luck!"

The sword-wielding woman was stunned but shook her head and said, "I watched the replay repeatedly last night, but I couldn't find a way to defeat you." The woman paused here and continued:

"However, once I decide which path to take and promote to Rank 3, I should be able to fight you." Although the woman's tone was still emotionless, Jiang Hao could actually hear a hint of confidence.

"Whatever makes you happy." Jiang Hao nodded in agreement.

What he was thinking, however, was: "Unfortunately, times have changed. This is the era of cheating! Today's me can One-hit Kill yesterday's me with a single punch!"

Suddenly.

The woman held her sword level: "Can you take a strike from me?"

Who do you think you are?

Jiang Hao went up and slapped the precious sword away, saying, "I suggest you wear a black blindfold next time."

After saying that, he landed a Collapse Fist on the woman's chest.

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for a One-hit Kill on a Rank 2 opponent. You have gained 2 points!]

"Eh, this counts as a One-hit Kill too? It seems this judgment isn't that simple."

...Xingluo Prefecture—Luoxing City.

A pair of long white legs slowly stepped out of the pod door.

The woman had a cold temperament and exquisite features.

Her face wore a dazed expression.

Xing Yingyue still hadn't figured out what had just happened. She was clearly just holding her sword normally without any intention of provocation, so why did 'Fish Fry King' suddenly turn hostile?

"'Fish Fry King' seems stronger than last time. Could it be he never used his full strength?"

"And what does covering eyes with a black cloth mean?"

Xing Yingyue was completely puzzled.

So she re-entered the Virtual Combat Pod, found the match from just now, and clicked on 'Fish Fry King's personal profile'.

"I Dont Eat Beef?"

Xing Yingyue ignored the strange nickname, scrolled to the bottom, and found that 'Fish Fry King' had no updates at all.

But looking at the 100% win rate, she fell silent for a moment and chose to add 'Fish Fry King' as a fei xin account friend on Blue Star Net.

The Virtual Combat System is bound to Blue Star Net, and only Martial Artists can register on Blue Star Net.

"If only I could have such strong power..." Xing Yingyue fell into a memory while looking at the "waiting for verification" text on her fei xin account... Jiang Hao slowly finished the remaining eight matches, gaining 16 points. Looking at the system panel:

[points: 3226]

He felt completely comfortable. Tomorrow, he'd go to Rank 3 to earn points!

"Huh? Someone added me as a friend?"

Jiang Hao looked at the Light Screen prompt strangely and said, "Is it one of those leeks whose mental state I just broke?"

Jiang Hao opened his fei xin account and looked at the applicant:

"Fish and Bears Paw?"
