This is a small room of about one hundred square meters.
The entire room was very empty, with only a large silver-white machine placed there, with dozens of shooting holes like Gatling guns on its front end.
"This is a device for testing neural responses."
Seeing that Xu Zong was a little curious, the chief instructor Wu Tong explained it and pointed to the center of the floor.
"Do you see that circle? You stand in, and after a while the test starts, a lot of rubber bullets will be fired out. You try to avoid them, but remember, you must not get out of the circle!"
"clear."
Xu Zong understood.
Then he stepped forward and entered a circle with a diameter of three meters and six meters.
"start!"
With just one command, the machine suddenly started moving, and each hole shot out streaks of red light mercilessly.
The appearance of those red lights has no pattern at all, and the light rays are not parallel at all. The chaotic light is like a scattered ball of thread, which makes people feel abnormally big when they look at it.
"But it's not fast!"
Xu Zong calmed down, letting his heart become calm, and his spirit was highly concentrated, with his eyes locked on the muzzle of the gun like an eagle.
In his perception, the speed of each red light was not so fast that he could not react.
"call."
He moved his steps slightly, turned his body sideways, and dodged the first shot to his left waist.
The red light almost brushed his body.
"Um?"
Chief Instructor Wu Tong suddenly narrowed his eyes and frowned unconsciously.
Then the second time.
Xu Zong still dodged a red light with a very small gap.
Then the third and fourth blow!
All of them escaped the attack of rubber bullets in the red light by just a hair's breadth.
Wu Tong's brows gradually widened, and his face gradually became surprised.
Looking closely, Xu Zong's evasive movements are very natural, sometimes tilting his head, sometimes moving, and the biggest movement is just leaning forward or leaning back. The whole thing is extremely smooth, like flowing clouds and flowing water, and even gives people an artistic look.
Beauty.
Let alone leaving the three-meter-and-six-meter circle, he never even left the half-meter-diameter circle!
"It's actually an extremely subtle body technique!"
Wu Tong gradually widened his eyes, filled with a look of disbelief.
To practice body skills, you must first lay a solid foundation, then develop a natural awareness of avoidance through fighting monsters, and master the body skills to the extreme, to the point where you can easily master them. This requires more than ten years of hard work.
However, even if it is easy to pick up, it is still a "basic" level of movement!
Most warrior-level warriors, and even many general-level warriors, are actually at this level, and it's just a matter of proficiency or not.
Only when you practice to the point where you have subtle control over your own strength and body, and can make the most exquisite dodges at the minimum cost like a computer, can you be considered to have reached the second realm of "subtlety" of body skills!
Generally speaking, the movement skills of the subtle realm are something that warriors at the warrior level can practice, but in fact, more than half of the warriors at the warrior level have not been able to reach the subtle realm!
What surprised Wu Tong the most was that Xu Zong's body skills were obviously not just ordinary Ruwei. His leisurely and calm appearance clearly showed that he had mastered Ruwei's body skills a long time ago and had already gone a long way in the realm of Ruwei.
A big step forward!
"Looking at his level of proficiency, I'm afraid he's not far away from reaching the next level of 'perfection' in body skills."
In the watch held by Wu Tong on his chest, the president was obviously paying attention to Xu Zong's test, and the words coming out of his mouth were full of admiration.
"16 years old! Close to the physical fitness of a high-level warrior! The body skills of a micro-level master! Such a genius is undoubtedly a global level, and there is not even one among hundreds of millions of people!"
Wu Tong was also amazed.
"With his qualifications, he is fully qualified to enter the elite training camp... but he has not yet obtained the qualifications as a warrior!"
The president's tone became very subtle.
Under normal circumstances, the martial arts gym recruits real martial artists. He has never heard of a situation like this in the decades since the gym was founded. Sometimes, being too talented can cause the system to fail to keep up.
In the field.
Suddenly, four consecutive red lights gathered together and shot at Xu Zong's limbs respectively!
There was no trace of panic on Xu Zong's face. He immediately turned to one side and huddled his body in the center of the four red lights. All four red lights passed over his body surface with just a hair's breadth.
"bump!"
But suddenly, another red light shot out from the machine, aiming straight at his torso!
"There's no way to avoid this angle!"
Xu Zong made a judgment in an instant.
This red light seemed to be carefully prepared. It was an additional attack based on the calculation that he had evaded the previous step, and his evasive method was completely anticipated!
Under normal circumstances, people absolutely cannot escape this blow!
But the moment the red light touched his body, Xu Zong's chest suddenly shrank inward by more than an inch!
The red light rubbed against the training clothes on his chest, and he could even feel the friction of the rubber bullets on the sports clothes, and then they passed in front of him!
"Beep, the test is over!"
After one minute, the machine finally stopped.
"You haven't been hit once within 60 seconds. After testing, your neurological response is perfect for a junior warrior!"
The machine reported Xu Zong’s final score.
"call!"
Xu Zong stood firm, breathed a sigh of relief, and his tense nerves relaxed.
"What happened in the last two seconds? Why did the difficulty increase so much all of a sudden? Is it possible that there was a mechanical failure?"
A total of one minute of testing, the first 58 seconds were normal, but in the last two seconds, something big suddenly came. If he didn't have two brushes, he would definitely be hit by the last blow!
"There is no problem with the machine, the problem is with you."
Chief instructor Wu Tong came over with a speechless face and said in front of the president that there was a problem with my machine. Doesn't this mean that my work was not done properly?
Forget it, since you don’t understand, I won’t argue with you.
"This machine is used to test the neural reaction speed of warriors. But to grade the neural response speed of warriors, of course you need to set different difficulties. Because you have not been hit once in the previous 58 seconds, the machine thinks that the difficulty needs to be increased.
Do you understand the level of your reaction speed?"
"I see!"
Only then did Xu Zong understand.
"Normally, only warriors at the warrior level can achieve a perfect evaluation in the neurological reaction speed test of junior warriors! Who would have thought that you, an intermediate warrior, can do what only warriors at the warrior level can do?
Woolen cloth?"
Wu Tong looked filled with emotion.
In other words, a sudden increase in difficulty like the one in the last two seconds will only occur when the player is doing a leapfrog test.
"Then I should have passed the assessment, right?"
"You passed the physical fitness test."
Wu Tong came back to his senses and replied with a smile.
"However, there is a process to change your identity, so after seven days, you will be legally a quasi-martial artist... However, I heard from Lao Lin that you plan to participate in the special channel actual combat assessment?"
"Yes."
"Well, since you have a strength close to that of a high-level warrior and a subtle level of movement, I won't say anything more."
Wu Tong paused, with a slightly teasing look on his face.
“For a character whose ‘goal is not the God of War’, the risk of a mere special assessment should only be part of what needs to be overcome!”
If you can't even pass this test, you won't be able to become a being "above the God of War".
"President, what do you think?"
As he spoke, Wu Tong lowered his head and looked at the light screen of the watch he had been holding in front of his chest.
"There is no problem with this."
The president was still sitting at his desk, with the light behind his back so that his face could not be seen clearly, but it only gave a vague impression that he was a very courageous person.
"I've already asked over there. The next special combat assessment will be in five days. On the morning of the 5th, you can go directly to the municipal martial arts headquarters in my base city in Jiangnan. I will take you there in person!"
When Wu Tong heard this, he couldn't help but glance at the figure in the light screen in surprise.
Take him to attend in person?
"But before that, I have something else to ask you."
As he spoke, the president straightened his body slightly and became very serious.
Thanks to this, Xu Zong also corrected his attitude.
"Xiao Xu, I read your information, especially about your family. You come from a military family. Your ancestors' history of joining the army can be traced back to the era of resisting U.S. aggression and aiding Korea. Your parents and brother-in-law are also soldiers, but their parents died young. Now
I only have one relative, my brother-in-law, who currently serves as a company commander in the Southwest Military Region!"
"I respect your family's history of joining the military. Any soldier who sacrifices his life for the country is worthy of respect, so I can help you handle things before and after the warrior examination, but I also have to ask clearly, what are you planning to do in the future?"
The president's voice was very serious.
"People from families like yours usually have a strong attachment to the military. In the end, you are likely to follow the path of your elders and decide to join the army. What about you?"
"After becoming a warrior, do you plan to join the army? Or join a martial arts school for further studies?"
That's right.
The Xu family that swallowed up the starry sky from which Xu Zong traveled was actually a military family. Xu Zong’s wife was a soldier in the era of resisting U.S. aggression and aiding Korea. She personally crossed the Yalu River and fought against the American emperor.
Later, the country was peaceful for a while, and Nirvana came again. His grandfather followed the example of his grandfather, joined the army, picked up a gun, and fought against monsters. This tradition continued to Xu Zong's parents' generation and remained unchanged.
However, Xu Zong's parents died many years ago, and the only elder in the family was his uncle.
Xu Zong's ambition is a question worthy of discussion.
"I choose to join the martial arts school."
However, Xu Zong's answer was very straightforward.
In fact, he had already thought about this issue many times. This was a decision he made after thinking through various reasons and possibilities.
