Chapter 11 Neural Reaction Speed

“Old Jiang seems very confident.” Chief instructor ‘Wu Tong’ smiled, but his eyes still fell on Luo Feng, almost everyone present looked at Luo Feng, waiting for Luo Feng’s test results.

Luo Feng stood in front of the fist target, his feet snapped, his body slightly turned his waist and hips then burst out with a powerful force, instantly knuckling through and into his arms. Only to see Luo Feng’s fist as if it was an arrow shot from a full moon power bow, with a flash of residual shadow, with a “pong” sound, his fist had already smashed on the target.

A punch was thrown, Luo Feng’s eyes already had a slight hint of joy: “It feels so good to throw a punch, all the strength has been punched out.” Gaze towards the display screen – “1101kg”

“Good.”

“Not bad.” Immediately, many of the martial artists present immediately praised.

Chief Instructor “Wu Tong” stroked his chin and nodded, “The young man is not bad, he remembered not to lose his center of gravity when throwing punches, if he had lost his center of gravity when trying to throw the heaviest punch regardless. Maybe a punch is more powerful. But that way, to lose the center of gravity in a fight with a monster is suicide! Not bad, not bad.”

“Haha, Luo Feng, this little guy, his combat ability is very strong.” Instructor “Jiang Nian” laughed, “He once defeated three senior students in a row who weren’t inferior to him in terms of strength and speed, a clean fight!”

Listening to the Chief Instructor and Instructor’s compliments, Luo Feng’s heart burst with joy.

When he was a teenager, he had passed out twice and his body strength and speed had increased greatly. Since that time, he had set a plan to become an awesome martial artist! And an awesome martial artist was very demanding in terms of practical combat ability. In my teenage years, although I didn’t join the Ultimate Martial Arts School, I searched the internet for some sword basics, body basics, etc., and practiced alone at home to slowly accumulate experience.

This was also the reason why one was strong in actual combat.

“It’s a good seedling. Well, pass!” Chief instructor Wu Tong casually took another ID card and slid it across the instrument, “Next, Bai Yang.”

Luo Feng walked back to where the crowd receiving the test stayed.

“Not bad, crazy.” Yang Wu laughed in low surprise.

Luo Feng grinned.

The eight people quickly finished receiving the ‘fist power test’, only one of these eight people was unlucky, one punch was only 892kg, just a little short of the pass line so they were eliminated. The next level for the speed test also left only seven people.

“Cut!” Chief Instructor Wu Tong came to the speed tester and flipped the switch.

“One by one, in the reverse order of just now, first, Yang Wu.” Chief Instructor Wu Tong commanded, before Yang Wu was the last to test his punching power, this time, he was the first to test his speed instead.

Yang Wu took a deep breath.

He had been here for nearly ten times for the Quasi Martial Artist Examination, and every time, he had stumbled on the speed test.

“Brother Yang, go for it.” Luo Feng gently patted on Yang Wu’s shoulder.

“Watch.” Yang Wu adjusted his breathing and walked onto the track.

Instructor Jiang Nian frowned at this scene, Yang Wu was also from Yian district, but Yang Wu had already failed the ‘speed test’ many times.

“Boom!”

Yang Wu stomped on the ground with a low sound, the powerful arm flinging and strong stomping caused Yang Wu’s speed to quickly accelerate to his limit, his face was grim, his forehead veins popped out as he gritted his teeth and ran frantically. As he ran past the speed test area, he also let out a suppressed low roar!

“Must pass!” Yang Wu roared in his heart as he stopped.

He apprehensively turned his head to look over, only to see that at this time, Luo Feng gave him a thumbs up, seeing this scene, it was as if Yang Wu had instantly arrived in heaven.

“Haha, Yang Wu ah, good luck. Surprisingly crossed the line.” Instructor “Jiang Nian” also let out a bright laugh.

Yang Wulian ran and looked at the display – “25.1m/s”.

“Whew, that was close.” Yang Wu himself laughed, if the state is a little bit worse, the speed may not reach 25 meters per second, that will have to fail again.

“Well, over!” Chief Instructor Wu Tong also revealed a smile, “Next.”

One by one the personnel were tested, the last time they tested fist power (strength), Luo Feng was the second to test. And this time testing speed, Luo Feng was the second to last.

Soon it was Luo Feng.

“Luo Feng.” Chief instructor Wu Tong shouted.

“Crazy man, go for it, we’re going to go for the martial arts practical test together.” Yang Wu said encouragingly, Luo Feng smiled and nodded his head then walked to the track, slightly adjusting his breathing, bouncing easily in place twice, unlike Yang Wu who was the pure brute force type, Luo Feng was made to feel relaxed.

Whoosh!

As soon as the force was released, Luo Feng was like a panther snapping out, swift and incomparable, carrying a strong wind that directly swept through the speed test area. The naked eye could see that Luo Feng’s speed was clearly a bit higher than the previous few.

“It feels alright.” As soon as Luo Feng turned his head, he saw Yang Wu giving the same thumbs up. Even chief instructor Wu Tong, and instructor Jiang Nian, all nodded in rare admiration.

Luo Feng himself walked over to have a look, the screen showed –

“28.6m/s”

“Very good speed, surprisingly so much higher than the pass line.” Chief instructor Wu Tong smiled and nodded, “Last one, child pass.”

After successive tests of punching power and speed, one of them was eliminated from the punching power test, and two were eliminated on the speed test. Only five people remained. The third item was the ‘nerve reaction speed test’.

“Follow me.” Chief Instructor Wu Tong led a group of martial artists, as well as the remaining five people participating in the test, to the ‘Nerve Reaction Test Room’ connected to the martial arts training hall.

It was a spacious room of roughly one hundred square meters.

Of course, compared to the thousands of square meters of the previous mega martial arts training hall, this nerve reaction testing room was obviously much smaller. Only a tall and expensive instrument was being placed on the ground, and at the very front of this instrument was what seemed like a six-barrel Gatling machine gun shooting out holes one by one, but this hole was much more than a Gatling machine gun, with dozens of holes.

“The first one, Tong Guan.” Chief Instructor Wu Tong spoke.

The bearded big man immediately walked to the front of this test machine gun port, a circle with a diameter of three meters and six meters.

“Ta!” The switch was flipped.

The edge of that three-meter-six diameter circle immediately emitted a misty red light towards the top, and for a moment, the testers within the circle seemed to be surrounded by a misty red veil.

“Remember, no matter what, you can’t leave the circle range, once you leave the circle range, you will be judged to have failed. If the body touches the red light, points will be deducted.” After Chief Instructor Wu Tong finished speaking, he walked over to that nerve reaction testing machine and pressed several buttons to adjust the intensity of the test. This intensity was also divided into many levels.

The initial grade was the intermediate cadet test.

And the highest grade …… that was the top strongest among the martial artists to test and train.

“Begin!” As soon as the chief instructor pressed the red button.

“Beep …… beep ……” The huge muzzle of the Neural Response Testing Machine began to rotate, and dozens of muzzles in the muzzle almost instantly erupted a red light, with both fast and slow speeds. Their speeds were both fast and slow, and their trajectories were not parallel at all. Quickly, they shot into the red circle.

Only to see that bearded man, his eyes staring dead ahead, his body quickly flickering back and forth, passing through the gap between some of the red bullets.

“Puh! Poof!” Two shots were fired in succession.

However, these ‘bullets’ were rubber-tipped, very small in power, not too fast, and not too painful when they hit a person’s body.

Time passed by minute by minute.

The bearded man tried his best to keep dodging in it, and soon the time came to one minute.

“Woo~~~” after Chief Instructor Wutong pressed the button, the test machine’s muzzle quickly decelerated and stopped rotating, and a large amount of data even surfaced on its central screen.

“Within 60 seconds, 57 hits, touching the red light three times. Failed, eliminated!” Chief Instructor ‘Wu Tong’ opened his mouth, and at the same time threw out his ID card to the bearded man.

“Just a little bit short.” This bearded big man gritted his teeth and shook his head as he walked out of the red circle range.

“Next, Luo Feng.” Chief instructor Wu Tong said.

Luo Feng and Yang Wu punched each other once before walking directly into the red circle range.

Standing within the red circle, the muzzle of the testing machine in front of him was facing him, Luo Feng took a deep breath, when he hadn’t entered the martial arts school, he had practiced his stance a lot at home, and this dodging aspect had always been his strongest point: “Before the college entrance exams, I was usually hit 50 to 55 times in 60 seconds. And now that my physical fitness has improved and my reactions are faster, I have even less problem passing the test.”

“Remember, don’t ever step out of the circle, step out of the circle and you will directly fail, your body touching the red light will deduct points.” Chief Instructor Wu Tong finished speaking and pressed the red button.

“Beep …… beep ……”

The muzzle of the Neural Response Testing Machine rapidly accelerated, quickly rotating to an extremely fast speed, followed by dozens of gun ports in the muzzle almost instantly bursting out a red light, and a rubber bullet immediately shot out.

“Eh?” Luo Feng’s eyes stared dead on, his mind quickly calculated the position, while his entire body was like a flexible cat, constantly dodging back and forth, avoiding a rubber bullet over and over again. Of course, there were also some that were too fast to avoid, and could only receive a ‘shot’.

Luo Feng was quickly dodging, while the martial artists watching from the side were talking about it.

“This lad is good, his reaction speed, seems even better.”

“It’s fast, his stance is very good, his foundation is solid. Look, his feet are like meat pads for a cat’s claws, every stance shift does not lose its center of gravity and can instantly change direction. This kind of stance …… would not be able to achieve such a solid foundation without ten years of hard work if one is not a genius.”

The martial artists present all marveled.

A martial artist’s physical quality was something that could be cultivated and improved up. However, body techniques, sword techniques, and so on, were all dependent on experience. It wasn’t that if the body strength was strong, this body technique was high.

“Woo……” After pressing the button, the Neural Response Testing Machine rotated and decelerated to stop, while a large series of numbers floated on the screen.

“Within 60 seconds, hit 28 times without touching the red light. Excellent!” Chief instructor Wu Tong revealed a smile, “Not bad, Luo Feng, congratulations, just wait for the official document to be issued, after your information is entered into the citizenship information. You’ll be a quasi martial artist!” Passing the test, within seven days, there was usually an official certificate issued and it was recorded into the citizenship information.

Luo Feng clenched his right fist hard, “Finally made it!”

Himself, finally a quasi martial artist!

“Luo Feng, August 1st martial artist practical test. At that time, gather at the Extreme Club in the morning, and under the instructor’s leadership, join the other quasi martial artists to hunt monsters outside of the human base city center! When you pass the practical test, you will be a true martial artist.” Instructor ‘Jiang Nian’ said with a smile.
