: Martial Arts Combat Assessment!

Chapter 2: Martial Arts Combat Assessment!

After rejecting another female student's confession, Gu Ce returned to a manor located in the main urban area.

Being too handsome can be a problem.

Standing at 1.91 meters tall, with Gu Ce's handsome face, misty blue eyes, rebellious white hair, and the title of genius martial artist, he has attracted the infatuation of countless girls since childhood.

Incidentally, the white hair is a family trait.

"I'm back!"

As soon as he entered the door, Gu Ce casually tossed the shopping bag in his hand, which landed steadily on the sofa in the living room.

"What did that kid Wang Heng say?" Gu Hesheng, sitting on the sofa, put away his newspaper and said calmly.

"Brother Wang said that once I pass the martial arts combat assessment, I can go directly to the global headquarters training camp. He's prepared the highest-level contract for me." Gu Ce plopped down on the sofa on the other side, eagerly opened the shopping bag, and took out the contents.

A box of exquisitely packaged Nama chocolates.

Gu Hesheng took a bite and frowned. "Too sweet."

"We have to wait until the practical assessment is over? With your talent and the resources of my Gu family, you can become a war god even if you don't go. If it weren't for their abundant rare resources and the Thor, I wouldn't even want you to go," Gu Hesheng said.

"I think it's some kind of elite training camp?" Gu Ce said, finishing the last piece of raw chocolate.

"Elite training camp? That's alright. Only War Gods can graduate from it. Maybe you can even reach the level of a councilor in the future." Gu Hesheng's tightly furrowed brows relaxed slightly.

"Tell your uncle when the time comes; he has some connections at his Thunder Martial Arts School," Gu Hesheng reminded him.

"That won't be necessary," Gu Ce said confidently with a smile. "My future belongs to surpassing Hong and Thor. A mere training camp is nothing; I'm the strongest here!"

"You brat!" Gu Hesheng glared at him. "Am I afraid of you? I'm afraid you'll accidentally kill someone and attract those old fogies! Most of the people in the elite training camp are descendants of war gods, some even have powerful family members who are councilors. If you cause trouble, even your uncle won't be able to protect you!"

"It's not uncommon for the God of War to bully the weak!"

Gu Ce was speechless for a moment and did not continue the conversation.

This is indeed something he's capable of doing.

Confidence is part of his mental cultivation!

Go forward without hesitation, maintain the mindset of an absolute strongman, and always keep the confidence that victory is within your grasp.

Gu Ce didn't know which level of mental state this belonged to, but it didn't matter.

Everyone's mental state and cultivation are different. Gu Ce is confident that what he has is the best and the strongest!

Of course, confidence does not mean being mindless or reckless.

"Your uncle is a high-level war god, after all. He'll still give you the respect you deserve. I'm not asking you to restrain yourself, just tell your uncle when you kill someone," Gu Hesheng continued.

Gu Ce nodded, indicating that he understood.

"If there's nothing else, I'll be going now!" Gu Ce was about to leave when Gu Hesheng called him back.

"Wait, take this." Gu Hesheng handed over a silver card. "There's 50 billion in this card. Buy whatever you need later. If it's not enough, just let me know."

"Thank you, Dad!" Gu Ce took the card and returned to his room with a smile.

"This kid!" Gu Hesheng shook his head helplessly.

Although the Gu family is not a large family, they are still quite well-known in Jiangnan Base City.

The Gu family line has been passed down to his generation, and there are only two boys: Gu Hesheng and Gu Hechang.

Gu Hechang is Gu Hesheng's elder brother, and Gu Ce's uncle. He is a high-level War God. He has not joined any major power, but he is nominally affiliated with the HR Alliance. Among the War Gods, he is considered to be among the stronger ones, second only to the Invincible War God. He is a martial artist skilled in swordsmanship.

Gu Hesheng himself was also a beginner-level War God, affiliated with the Thunder Martial Arts School, and was considered Wang Heng's half-superior. After being injured in the wilderness area, and in order to take care of Gu Ce, he stayed in the Jiangnan Base City.

It is rare for both Gu brothers to be War Gods. They are very famous among the War Gods. Now that Gu Ce has shown his extremely strong talent, it is likely that there will be three War Gods in the family in the future. In fact, there is a high probability that Gu Ce will become a powerhouse who surpasses the War Gods and becomes a councilor-level expert!

Unfortunately, he was too confident.

Gu Hesheng was somewhat worried. With Gu Ce's personality, once he experienced failure, he might become discouraged and get stuck in a rut. Of course, if he could get back up after experiencing failure, he would also undergo a mental transformation and become stronger.

Although this confidence is largely inherited from their family's Gu family tradition, ...

It's all my fault. I didn't protect his mother back then. Sigh.

……

Time flew by, and August 1st arrived quickly—the day of the martial arts combat assessment.

The preliminary martial arts assessment had already been passed ahead of time thanks to the joint efforts of Wang Heng and Gu Hesheng, so there was no need to worry.

Gu Hesheng also taught Gu Ce the Five Hearts Towards Heaven cultivation method, which Gu Ce mastered that very night and increased his strength by more than 3,000 kilograms, reaching the threshold of a high-level warrior!

Punching power: 4110kg

Speed: 67m/s

Neural reaction speed: Full marks for novice warrior! Excellent for intermediate warrior!

These are Gu Ce's current physical stats as presented to the public, and do not represent his actual combat abilities.

"This is your combat uniform and boots, and this is the Longevity Sword 2 series equipment you need." An officer handed Gu Ce a set of equipment. "This is a communication watch with positioning and communication functions. As for the shield, you don't need it, so we didn't prepare one for you."

"Okay." Gu Ce nodded, his eyes full of excitement.

The officer looked at him a few more times, somewhat amazed. What did this child eat to grow so tall?

the other side.

In the monitoring room, several important figures sat around, watching Gu Ce on the screen.

"Wang Heng, is this the sixteen-year-old genius boy from the Gu family?" someone asked.

Wang Heng showed off for a moment, then smiled smugly and said, "What? Envious?"

"Yes, I'm envious," the man readily admitted. "How about we let him come to my Extreme Martial Arts Academy? I'll try to get in touch with the owner."

"Zhuge Tao, don't even think about stealing him." Wang Heng's eyes widened immediately. "Your Limitless Martial Arts Academy has always been one step ahead of my Thunder Martial Arts Academy, and you still want to steal my genius? I'm warning you, Gu Ce has already caught the attention of our academy master."

"Haha, look how anxious you are." Zhuge Tao laughed loudly.

"Alright, let's see how this little guy performs in actual combat later," another person interrupted the argument.

Wang Heng snorted coldly and looked at the big screen.

……

"Luo Feng".

A loud sound rang out in the square, and a figure ran to the front of the line.

Gu Ce looked at the figure with some strangeness. He hadn't expected that Luo Feng had become a martial artist this year.

Although he had read "Swallowing the Stars" many times before his transmigration and it was one of his favorite books, who would bother to remember the years in a book?

However, despite meeting the main character, Gu Ce had no intention of going up to greet him.

Gu Ce was confident that he was no weaker than anyone else!

So what if he's the main character?

Who isn't the protagonist of their own life?

Because of Gu Ce's intervention, Luo Feng did not meet with the other two geniuses who had been recruited in advance.

Led by officers, more than a thousand aspiring martial artists marched toward Monster Town. By the time they reached the outskirts of the town, the sun had already set.

"This practical assessment will follow the same rules as before! It will start promptly at 6:30 PM tonight and end at 6:30 AM tomorrow morning!"

"The more monsters you kill, the more points you earn. For each monster you kill, cut off its left ear as proof."

"Remember, it is forbidden for prospective martial artists to kill each other. All your activities are under surveillance, and violators will be executed on the spot!"

"..."

"Remember, if you are seriously injured, you can press the SOS button on your communication watch. Someone will come to your rescue immediately... but that moment also marks the end of your martial arts combat assessment."

"All prospective martial artists, set off! Enter Monster Town!"

After reading through a long list of instructions, the officer waved his hand, announcing the official start of the assessment.
