Chapter 6 — Red River Martial Arts Academy, Strength Growth
“Red River Martial Arts Academy …”
Lu Sheng followed the directions on his phone’s navigation app and stopped in front of a martial arts academy nearest to his home.
This martial arts school’s facade [TL: entrance] wasn’t large, the decoration was neither good, nor bad, it could be considered a very ordinary private martial arts institute.
“Academy owner: Ni Hongchuan, Level 4 Martial Artist, good at his inherited martial style, has won the 23rd Baihe City Martial Arts Exchange Summit …”
[TN: Baihe = White River]
The martial arts academy had an enrolment ad posted on the door. Lu Sheng read it out.
The words Level 4 Martial Artist on the advertisement caught Lu Sheng’s slight attention.
According to the standards publicized by the World Martial Alliance, a martial artist with a peak BQV of more than 200 and a CPI of more than 100,000 could be called a Level 4 Martial Artist.
“BQV equivalent to 200 or more, CPI a hundred times more than mine …”
Lu Sheng roughly imagined that realm in his head and got an exaggerated result.
The higher up the martial artist’s level, the greater the gap between them.
Level 4 Martial Artists were considered experts, even in the entire Baihe City; they were eminent figures of the city.
So it seemed that this martial arts academy had some heritage to it.
But this has nothing to do with Lu Sheng.
The fees listed on the enrolment ad were not affordable to him.
The martial arts students from ordinary families were like him. Maintaining their usual daily martial arts practice, and getting the required supplements was already a big deal for them. Forget about enrolling in to extracurricular classes to learn martial arts to improve their level of actual combat.
That was the treatment that only the children of wealthy families were entitled to. The children of ordinary families were down-to-earth, and they would be satisfied if they had a solid foundation. The BQV and other attributes were compensated for with hard effort.
If Lu Qinghe wishes to enrol, my family might give her the money for it, whereas, I … Even so. Then again, I have a way to absorb the zombies’ memories and inherit their combat skills and experience in my dreams. I don’t really need this kind of coaching … Lu Sheng thought, striding into the Red River Martial Arts Academy.
Once inside the door of the martial arts academy, there was a reception desk. A quite good-looking girl about twenty years old was sitting behind the desk, responsible for all its workings.
Seeing Lu Sheng, the girl quickly changed into a professional smile and took the initiative to greet him, “Is this student here to enroll in our academy’s martial arts improvement class?”
Lu Sheng shook his head, “I’m here to test my BQV and CPI.”
Generally, martial arts schools provided similar testing services, the test results were similar to those in schools, and it did not cost much.
The receptionist swept a glance at the school uniform Lu Sheng was wearing, nodded and said, “Okay, wait a moment.”
With her perception, she could naturally see that Lu Sheng was the kind of kid from an ordinary family, and there was no need to waste her breath on him.
“Go in along the corridor to room eight, there are machines for testing inside. Can you operate it? Do you need me to get someone to help you?”
The receptionist had a pretty good attitude and didn’t look down on Lu Sheng.
Lu Sheng said he could, then took the rental card given by the receptionist girl and followed her directions to the special testing room.
The instrument for testing Qi and blood were somewhat similar to a printer, with a small groove at the lower end and a disposable sterile sampling needle placed next to it.
Lu Sheng opened a sampling needle, took a little blood from the tip of his left middle finger, and then placed it in the groove of the instrument.
A pale-blue light fell on the crimson blood, then the instrument emitted a soft “drop” sound, the LCD dial lit up a value on the screen.
“0.963.”
The BQV was accurate to three decimal points.
When Lu Sheng saw this value, he couldn’t help but clench his fist fiercely even though he had expected it.
His BQV has really increased!
And it wasn’t by a small margin at all.
It went up by 0.18, almost 0.2.
And this, however, was just the result of the three zombies he hunted in his dream.
“It turns out that everything I got in that dream can indeed be brought back to reality … This is no longer just a game of killing monsters and upgrading, but … real cultivation!”
Lu Sheng held back his stirring heart.
No one would be willing to be mediocre, let alone him who had already been mediocre for a lifetime.
Now that he finally saw the dawn of being able to shine in the martial arts, how could he not be excited and elated?
“Let’s measure the CPI.”
The apparatus for testing combat power was much larger, the machine was taller than a person, and in the middle of the apparatus was a groove filled with soft pads.
The test only requires a hard punch to the groove.
“I have a memory of the jumpsuit zombie’s technique on punches, let me try it out …”
Lu Sheng was unsure how strong the two jumpsuit zombies he killed were before they were reanimated, but they were definitely stronger than him now.
And the skills and experience that the two had accumulated through many hard training and battles before was undoubtedly even more precious to him now.
Gulp!
Lu Sheng took a deep breath, and muscles in his right arm followed the trajectory of the techniques in his memory, and punched out fiercely against the measuring device.
Boom …
A number jumped out on the force measuring instrument.
“113.”
CPI: 113
It had already exceeded the standard CPI represented by his 0.96 BQV.
This should be the bonus from the skill.
Then Lu Sheng tested the left arm punch again, the value was a little less than the right arm, but it also exceeded one hundred.
After a few tests, Lu Sheng finally withdrew his fist with satisfaction.
“Last year, the cutoff for undergraduate martial arts in Baihe City was 1.05 for BQV, and 105.0 for CPI. In other words, I have almost reached the cutoff now. Even if I can’t enter the dream again, I will be able to securely enter any of the second-rate martial arts universities in the college entrance in around 200 days.”
