Chapter 253 Actual Combat
“I won’t disturb you. Researching rituals is one of my hobbies. You can stay here. I’ll get my assistant to arrange a room for you.”
“Ah, right!”
Mo Yunxiao was just about to get up when he suddenly thought of something.
“Coincidentally, the Federation’s semi-annual materialization professional qualification examination will be held in a month. Our North River Heavy Industry also has a group of players who are actively preparing for the examination. Why don’t you come with me to take a look?”
Seeing Fang Heng’s blank expression, Mo Yunxiao patiently explained. “The Federation strictly controls the player’s ‘lock’ behaviour. Only after passing the assessment will they be considered to have a legal identity.”
“Apart from identity and background, the assessment also has some requirements for strength.”
Fang Heng nodded, but he was feeling doubtful.
What was there to see?
Furthermore, he was instinctively a little disgusted by the Federation’s actions of controlling him.
Furthermore, he had already activated Tier 1 materialization and could be considered a ‘black account’.
He wouldn’t participate in any assessments in the future.
“Ha, just treat it as a small favour. I’ll bring you to my game hall to take a look first. I believe everyone will welcome you very much.”
Mo Jiawei’s interest was piqued when he heard that. “Game hall? Uncle, I want to go
too!”
North River Stadium.
The game hall was the largest stadium.
Twelve large-scale arenas were placed in the centre of the stadium.
Futons, wooden stakes for training, boxing gloves…
Most of the students were between the ages of 20 and 30.
Fang Heng also saw a few young people who were not even 18 years old.
At first glance, this place looked more like a dojo?
As soon as he stepped into the stadium, part of the memories related to the body resurfaced in Fang Heng’s mind.
Since junior high school, Fang Heng had been training in a similar type of game hall.
He had suffered a lot. It had taken him more than four years to reach the maximum attribute of 5 points.
The ordinary player was different. After they entered the game, their basic attribute would generally fluctuate between 3 to 4.5.
Mo Yunxiao clapped his hands and led Fang Heng to the centre of the largest arena. He gathered the players who were training in the arena.
“Let me introduce you to everyone, this is Fang Heng.”
Hearing Fang Heng’s name, the underground players discussed in low voices.
“Fang Heng? How familiar… I’ve heard of him before.”
“Idiot, the Magic Tower, have you heard of the Genius Youth? He was popular for a while back then.”
“Ah? It’s him?”
“Who is it? Is he very powerful?”
“I’ve never heard of him. I don’t know.”
“He was quite powerful in the past. I heard that he became useless for some reason.”
“That’s right, it’s him. I searched his name on the Internet…”
What was going on? He was quite famous?
Fang Heng heard the discussions of the players and was somewhat confused.
“Fang Heng used to be a professional player. Due to some reasons, he retired from the professional player stage. During this period, he will undergo some recovery training here. Everyone, let’s welcome him.”
The students stopped their discussion and started clapping
“Then…” Mo Yunxiao smiled and looked
- “Is there anyone who wants to spar with Fang Heng?”
aro
Huh?
Fang Heng turned to look at Mo Yunxiao.
Mo Yunxiao still had a faint smile on his face.
He leaned over and whispered into Fang Heng’s ear, “It’s okay. It’s just a game. Remember to use your full strength, or you’ll be at a disadvantage.”
“I’ll do it!”
A spirited young man among the players waved his hand excitedly. He bravely walked out of the crowd and stood in front of Fang Heng.
The other players also pushed back one after another and formed a circle, leaving enough space for the two to display their skills.
Fang Heng frowned.
What did he mean? He was going to fight directly?
Mo Jiawei was so excited that he cheered Fang Heng on in the crowd. “God, you can do it! F*ck him!”
“Whew!”
Seeing Fang Heng standing there casually, Wu Peng was a little unhappy.
Wu Peng clasped his fists at Fang Heng.
“I am Wu Peng, 29 years old, Tier 1 materialization. Please advise.”
After saying that, Wu Peng carefully approached Fang Heng and launched a probing attack. His huge fist swept past Fang Heng’s right side.
Fang Heng knew that he had Tier 1 materialization ability.
His average basic attribute was about 30, which was much higher than ordinary people!
Even though he could not use the in-game skill-bullet time, his high agility attribute and perception allowed him to clearly capture and determine the trajectory of Wu Peng’s punch.
The incoming fist was still in mid-air.
Fang Heng’s physical memory was activated. As if he had rehearsed it thousands of times in advance, Fang Heng took a small step to the side and slightly moved his body to the side, easily dodging Wu Peng’s fist.
Raising his right hand, he threw a punch at Wu Peng’s face.
He used all his strength at once!
It was the fastest punch that Fang Heng could ever release!
Wu Peng instantly felt as if he was enveloped by the edge of a fist.
Shouldn’t both be doing a trial test of each other’s ability in this combat?
Wu Peng was so frightened by this punch that he broke out in cold sweat. He hurriedly withdrew his hands to protect his body.
“Bang!”
“Ta, ta, ta.”
Wu Peng’s arm was hit by a punch. He took three steps back consecutively with a look of disbelief on his face.
What a heavy punch!
A hint of surprise flashed across Mo Yunxiao’s eyes.
The entire venue was quiet for a moment.
Among the people in the training ground, Wu Peng’s strength was among the best.
He was knocked back several steps with just one punch?
Wu Peng pursed his lips and shook his numb right hand.
He did not feel that his strength was insufficient. He only felt that he was careless.
Just as he was about to continue, he saw that Mo Yunxiao had already walked in front of Fang Heng.
“Clap, clap, clap…”
Mo Yunxiao took the lead and clapped.
The students also reacted when they saw the situation and clapped together.
“Today’s sparring session ends here. Everyone, continue your training.”
The outcome had yet to be decided, and it ended just like that?
The students were rather disappointed.
Everyone dispersed and continued to train and chat in twos and threes.
Fang Heng stood to the side and lowered his head in thought.
In the game, his strength attribute was already higher than 30 points.
When he used his full strength, his fist easily pierced through a slightly thinner steel plate.
But when he fought with Wu Peng just now, he felt that his opponent’s strength was not much inferior to his own.
There was always someone better than him!
Fang Heng felt that he had been a little inflated recently.
He had originally thought that his strength attribute was already at the peak. He did not expect that any random person pulled out from the training grounds would be able to fight him to a 40-60 split.
“Wu Peng is one of the best among these people. Currently, he has entered the intermediate level of the game. Based on his strength, it will definitely not be a problem for him to pass the Federation’s materialization qualification examination.”
Mo Yunxiao walked to Fang Heng’s side and said softly, “Also, his strength attribute is 9.4.”
What?
Only 9.4?
Fang Heng suspected that he had heard wrongly. He turned around and looked at Mo Yunxiao with surprise.
“You’ve realized it? Your strength attribute in the game is at least 15 points, right?”
“Yes.”
Fang Heng nodded. “You’ve only activated the ritual, but you haven’t truly grasped the ritual’s skills.”
Although Mo Yunxiao had a smile on his face, his surprise was no less than Fang Heng’s.
It was only an elementary game and his basic strength attribute had already exceeded 15 points!
Not only was it strength attribute, but judging from the punch just now, agility and perception were not low either.
