No hurry to rest.
Now, Qin Mu's Mentalist Rank is high, passing a single trial doesn't necessarily require him to rest.
He consumed the supplements.
In the past few days, he had consumed his account balance of more than 8 million credit points and didn't dare to eat them anymore; he really couldn't afford it.
One ton costs 300,000 credit points!
Just a few hours after eating, he'd want another meal.
Who could afford that? Eating a meal a day would cost over a million credit points.
Martial Artists make money in a big hurry, but they spend it with a turbocharger-it's real fast!
"Xiao Yi, unblock the messages."
He had been in seclusion these past days.
Qin Mu did not want to accept anyone's video calls; anyway, he had very few acquaintances, at most Guo Youwei, who knew where he was and would come find him if anything happened.
"Okay, you have twenty-seven unread messages."
"Guo Youwei, two messages."
[Qin Mu, are you in seclusion? I understand, no need to reply.
[There's no progress on the case, but the Tianlu Ferocious Beast Processing Plant still decided to sue you. In your video, only Zhang Zhi attacked, and the other security guards didn't participate but were severely injured by you. Don't worry, though, it'll likely be settled with compensation. Also, I'll pick you up on the day of the Martial Examination.]
"Ling Qianxue, twenty-five messages.
[Qin Mu? What are you doing? Why aren't you coming to the Martial Arts Hall?]
[Wood, have you gotten too arrogant?]
[Cultivate! Hurry and Cultivate~! ! !]
[Don't be lazy, hurry up and Cultivate, I'm watching you~]
.Pfft!
Speechless, Qin Mu said,
What was this?
A live broadcast of a grand, fantastical drama about squatting in the toilet?
"Aftеr Bеing Rеjеctеd by thе Campus Bеllе, Did Shе Complеtеly Bеcomе a Yandеrе Psycho?"
He ignored her.
Qin Mu did not even want to reply to her messages, lest he get infected. Three hours later.
Xiao Yi reminded him that Guo Youwei had arrived at the entrance.
Qin Mu directly picked up his prepared tactical backpack and headed out.
In the car.
Guo Youwei eyed Qin Mu with a hint of excitement: "How was it? How effective was your seclusion at home?
"It's a pity."
"If the case could be settled, you could totally Cultivate at the Martial Arts Hall, which would be more effective."
Roughly the same, right?
Qin Mu didn't really care.
The Martial Arts Hall had two other distinctive features.
One of them was a reinforced gravity training room, but he hadn't used it yet, so he didn't know its effect.
The other was medicinal baths.
Even the effect of this didn't seem particularly important either.
After all, other martial artists needed to increase their strength and train their muscles and bones.
He couldn't say he didn't need it, but he wasn't in a hurry.
The largest advantage could still be the ability to monitor his strength at all times.
"How much has your Mentalist power improved? Are you confident in using two Flying Blades?" Guo Youwei asked.
Hmm.
Qin Mu nodded: "A bit difficult. I just had a Breakthrough this morning, so exactly two Flying Blades."
Hiss!!
It's settled!!
Guo Youwei was overjoyed.
"Good, good, good. As expected of the Genius I value."
After having ascertained his strength.
Guo Youwei did not forget to explain the rules.
"Your equipment is all complete, no need to change when we get there. The map and route will be distributed then."
"The so-called Martial Examination."
"Simply speaking, it's to let Martial Artists see some blood, and also to select a group of outstanding Genius Martial Artists with excellent practical combat skills for Key training.
"Martial Examination Leaderboard!
"This is something every Jiangcheng Martial Examination has. You can check it on your smart system then."
"My requirement for you, no, Jiangcheng Martial Arts Hall's requirement for you, is at least top ten, striving for top three!
At this time.
Guo Youwei also sent the profiles of several Genius Martial Artists who needed special attention.
"Every year, during the school graduation period, the Martial Examination is the focal point of all factions."
"There are Martial Examinations at other times, but their value is not enough. Only the Martial Examination at this time, by achieving a ranking, will attract major factions' attention."
The reason was simple.
Could students taking a reexamination be geniuses?
If they weren't Geniuses, then were they worth investing in?
Guo Youwei opened the file: "You can ignore everyone else, but this one."
On the screen.
A white-haired young man, looking completely indifferent, had an air of looking down on everything.
"Bai Qiuye, from the Sky Sword Pavilion. Like you, he is a Mentalist.
"He went through the Awakening half a year before you. They say that by now, he would have the strength of an Apprentice Ninth Level Mentalist and can control as many as three Flying Swords!"
Hmm.
Guo Youwei paused, then projected a uniquely-shaped weapon:
"Flying Swords are the Sky Sword Pavilion's Mentalist weapons. They are twice as long as Flying Blades, much harder to control, and more lethal. They can also be freely split into main and sub-swords, making them extremely sharp in combat."
Specialized Mentalist weapons, there's actually something like that?
"Is the Sky Sword Pavilion a pure Mentalist faction?" Qin Mu asked, puzzled.
Huh?
Guo Youwei patted Qin Mu: "Of course not, but the Pavilion Master of the Sky Sword Pavilion is a Mentalist, and the strongest Mentalist on Dragon Star, Bai Ming, titled White Sword Sect!"
One of the ten council members of the Federal Parliament, with peak strength. Rumor has it he only lost one move to Wu Po Xing.
Dragon Star masters.
Qin Mu knew only Wu Po Xing previously because he was ranked number one on the Dragon Star and was naturally given more attention.
Since the influence of the Sky Sword Pavilion was strong, its pavilion master could naturally not be weak; however, he hadn't expected him to be the strongest mentalist.
""They all have the surname Bai? " Qin Mu suddenly noticed something.
Heh.
Guo Youwei said openly:
"That's right, Bai Qiuye is Bai Ming's grandson."
"The Federation has researched Mentalists for many years to no avail, but it must be said, Mentalists really have a Bloodline component ."
"Descendants of high-Rank Mentalists have a not-low probability of Mentalist Awakening."
When he heard this, Qin Mu fell into thought.
Guo Youwei sighed, however:
"I have gone through the files concerning your father's case; it's indeed a pity."
"At the age of only 28, he died in battle, not yet 30, so he still had a chance for Mentalist Awakening."
"As for your younger sister, Qin Yun, I have also arranged for her to enter the elementary school affiliated with the Martial Arts Hall. She will be specially trained to become a Mentalist; maybe she has a chance."
Ah, this~!?
Qin Mu was stunned.
Where exactly did you get that idea?
Could his father have gone through a Mentalist Awakening? The chances were indeed a bit low.
Qin Yun? If she could awaken, that would naturally be a good thing. If not, that was fine too.
Doesn't matter, I will protect her.
As for the Martial Arts Hall's training, Qin Mu definitely wouldn't refuse.
The training was extremely expensive; Qin Mu finally understood.
Ignoring Guo Youwei.
Qin Mu looked through the Martial Examination rules himself.
"The examination lasts for seven days. Only one day's amount of emergency food is provided; all the rest must be hunted by oneself."
"Hunting a first-Rank Vicious Beast earns 10 points, a second-Rank Vicious Beast 30 points, and a third-Rank Vicious Beast 100 points."
"Operating alone, to successfully kill 10 first-Rank Vicious Beasts individually constitutes a passing grade; otherwise, it's a failure!
"The top 10 in the Martial Examination Leaderboard will receive additional rewards."
"The more you kill, the more you get. In this Martial Examination, all hunted Vicious Beasts, after being recovered, will be fully reimbursed in credit points to qualified examinees."
Hmm.
Besides its assessment purpose, the Martial Examination seemed to be an opportunity to get rich for excellent examinees.
There were no middlemen earning a difference, and no need to hand over anything to the Martial Arts Hall or other factions.
If he killed a few hundred, then he could indeed make a small fortune. The vehicle stopped at City Gate 2A.
In Jiangcheng, all the entrance and exit gates were designed as Wengcheng (urn city). There were three layers here, each layer having higher defense strength than the last.
The metal fortifications that surrounded it were built impregnably, with various weapons densely aimed outside the city.
Even a bird flying by would be blown to smithereens!
Martial Artists were already queuing to change their equipment in the open area.
"I'll only see you off here."
Guo Youwei led Qin Mu out of the car and pointed at the assembly point.
"One last reminder, you are a Mentalist, so there's no need to venture too far into the wilderness. Mass harvesting first-Rank Vicious Beasts nearby is also a pretty good way to earn points."
It can boost your ranking up quickly, and it is also has the ability to suppress the scores of other examinees.
Heh heh.
He was indeed an old hand. Qin Mu nodded knowingly and took a step to turn around. Before his eyes was a sudden beautiful face. "Wood, why didn't you reply to my video calls?!" It was none other than Ling Qianxue who spoke!
