Chapter 492: He Has a Murderous Aura
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
There was no sparring in the martial arts examination.
However, the strength of each registered martial artist had to be assessed.
Speed, strength, and reaction speed were all tested.
And comprehension !
Comprehension was talent.
If your talent was astonishing, the teachers of the eight institutions would pay attention to you during the martial arts examination.
The talent assessment was also a very important part.
The so-called martial arts examination was a screening test.
The outstanding children would be selected and sent to the provincial capital before going to the capital to enjoy the best educational conditions.
At this moment, Braydon Neal spoke.
The martial arts examination officially began.
Layne Geller, who had come from the capital, presided over the recording.
Braydon did not interfere with the assessment. Instead, he accompanied Grandma Sage to get some rest.
Layne’s face was covered in cold sweat. With Braydon here, he really felt a lot of pressure.
“As per the Northern King’s order, the martial arts examination will begin now!”
Braydon’s words were the Northern King’s order.
Although this was the first time Layne from the capital had met Braydon, he had heard too much about his legends over the years.
Furthermore, the martial artists in the capital knew that Braydon had gone to the capital in recent days and had gone on a killing spree, shaking all the powerful families.
The powerful families were a great entity.
That was a force that included hundreds of large and small families!
Other than Braydon, who else could shake them?
Layne announced the start of the martial arts examination.
The hundreds of people outside the entrance of the Preston main team base lined up to enter the examination hall.
The examination hall that Steve Xavier had built in advance was equipped with precision instruments. Fist force target drones.
Speed testers.
Reaction speed testing room.
It was to provide a testing ground for the young people who came.
Layne turned around and humbly handed over a document, saying, “Lord Northern King, there are a total of one hundred and seventy-two students participating in the examination in Preston. Twenty of them are from the seven great families of Preston, and the rest are people from the lower levels of Preston!”
The people from the lower levels referred to the Preston mountains and the towns south of Preston.
After all, there were martial artists in the towns south of the city.
Take the Thompson Village for example. The last time Braydon went there, it was a nest of martial artists.
There were dozens of young martial artists there!
Therefore, it was not unusual for more than a hundred young students to come to participate in the martial arts examination.
Braydon took the list and saw the names ‘Ginny Neal’ and ‘Heather Sage’.
“Heather, why did you hide your registration from me?” he asked with a chuckle.
“If I told you, would I still be able to come?”
Heather rolled her eyes.
Braydon could not help but laugh at her mischievous look.
However, Braydon saw two familiar names and asked suspiciously, “Xana
Thomas and Joseph Thomas? What are they up to?”
“What? I want to be a martial artist too!”
Behind Braydon, a sneaky pretty girl appeared.
She had a slim figure and long wine-red curly hair that fell on her shoulders-
Her delicate little face gave off a sly look. Her chest was tall and straight, and her slender legs were wrapped in light blue jeans. She was slender and well-proportioned.
Besides Xana, there was no one else! n--o(.v(-e(-l.(b).1-/n
She was very close to Braydon and was not awkward at all.
Braydon wanted to laugh when he saw her. A humanities student who could write ‘A friend visiting from afar must be killed even if he was far away’ was a jokester!
“Have you finished your make-up exam?” Heather saw her best friend and laughed with her.
Xana wrinkled her nose and said unhappily, “I didn’t pass the make-up exam!”
“What happened?” Heather was stunned.
If she did not pass the make-up exam, she would fail the subject!
“I wrote my name wrongly!” Xana said pitifully.
Braydon was speechless.
Heather:
She could even write her name wrongly on the make-up exam paper.
This was really another level!
Heather rolled her eyes and asked Xana to sit beside her.
Layne stepped forward and said obsequiously, “Lord Northern King, the examinees have already taken their positions. Can we start now?”
Braydon raised his left hand and sat at the head of the table, quietly waiting for the exam to begin.
Layne turned around and announced loudly, “The exam will begin now. Examinee No. 1, Werner Daley. For the first round, leave a record of your strength on the punching target machine.”
As soon as he finished speaking.
A seventeen-year-old youth wearing black sportswear went to the front of the humanoid target drone.
The official members of the Preston main team were responsible for recording the results of each student in front of each target machine.
This martial arts examination was for children as young as ten years old, like Ginny, and those up to twenty years old.
All of them!
A total of 172 people were present.
Examinee No. 1, Werner Daley, went to the front of the first target drone. He exhaled a breath of turbid air, bent his body like a bow, and held his breath. He landed a crushing fist on the target drone’s red heart.
Bang!
Beep, beep, beep.
110 pounds!
This was the basic strength of the first punch.
The strength assessment allowed you to punch three times.
The highest value would be taken as your score.
This was already considered preferential treatment for the examinees.
Learning martial arts was a way to sharpen one’s mind, and the process was accompanied by injuries and pain. Werner’s second punch landed.
Beep, beep, beep.
115 pounds.
The third punch struck.
Beep, beep, beep.
112 pounds!
The power of the three punches was different.
Next, Examinee No. 2, please go on stage!”
The strength assessment had ended.
Werner’s eyes were filled with disappointment.
Seven days ago, his basic strength had reached 130 pounds.
It was obvious that he did not display such high basic strength today.
It was not considered weak.
It was not considered extraordinary either.
It was considered normal!
With such results, it would be difficult for him to go to the provincial capital to participate in the second round of the examination!
What followed was an assembly line of examinees. Some were happy, while others were disappointed.
Until Examinee No. 66 appeared.
This was a young man who looked to be 19 years old. He had dark skin and a simple and honest appearance.
Braydon sat lazily on the high seat and glanced at the examinee. His thin lips moved slightly. “What’s his name?”
“Jeremy Norton, nineteen years old. The registration form states that he is... warlord level!”
Layne flipped through the document list and was stunned when he said this.
A nineteen-year-old warlord was a good seedling!
He was definitely qualified to go to the provincial capital.
Perhaps he could be sent to the capital. When the time came, all the major factions would gather in the capital. There would definitely be a place suitable for him in the three armies, nine departments, and twenty-four divisions.
For ordinary people, this was simply a leap to heaven.
Braydon closed his eyes to rest. “He has murderous aura on him.”
“Huh?”
Layne was slightly stunned.
His brain could not react in time.
The majority of the examinees who came to participate in the martial arts examination were teenagers. They lived in modern society. What did it mean to have a murderous aura?
It meant that his hands had been stained with human life!
If his hands were stained with blood during battle between martial artists, it would be fine. Instead, it would be a beautiful resume for a promising future.
If his hands were stained with the blood of ordinary people.
Today, not only would Jeremy be stripped of his identity as an examinee, but he would also be detained on the spot and sent to the Preston main team to be locked up.
In the past, in every year’s martial arts examinations, examinees with a shady background would appear..
