Wang Teng picked up a few attribute bubbles and, seeing that the other students wouldn't drop any more for a while, ran to a corner.
Several testing machines were placed there.
Strength testers, speedometers, physical condition testers, and so on.
These were machines used to evaluate the physical attributes of martial disciples, with relatively standard measurements and minimal error.
Wang Teng first approached the strength tester.
He had already learned the basic boxing techniques, which meant he had mastered the most fundamental force application skills.
Others would need at least a month, and even geniuses would need about ten days, but Wang Teng only needed one night.
The difference was just a few attribute bubbles!
The shortest distance in the world, nothing could be closer, and others probably wouldn't even dare to imagine it.
Wang Teng slowly stood still, took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and relaxed his entire body.
He suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze focused, like a hunting beast about to pounce. His legs firmly gripped the ground, his waist and hips moved slightly, his back spine tightened like a bowstring, and he threw a punch.
"Bang!"
Wang Teng's fist hit the strength tester directly.
The numbers on the strength tester's screen went wild, finally settling on a value—143 kg!
When he went home last night, his strength attribute was 135, and he had just gained 8 points, making a total of 143, which corresponded to 143 kg.
This strength was already close to the limit of an ordinary person!
Note, it's the limit strength!
A person in a desperate situation might be able to exert strength beyond their physical limits, but for ordinary people, it's very difficult! Extremely difficult!
Now, thinking back, his initial strength attribute was 50, roughly equivalent to the strength of an ordinary person!
Fortunately, I'm not a weakling!
Wang Teng consoled himself, then opened the speedometer and stepped onto it.
The speedometer was like a treadmill. As the tester ran, the belt below would move, measuring the speed.
Wang Teng started running slowly, then gradually accelerated until he reached his peak.
The speedometer would display the tester's maximum speed.
After feeling he had reached his fastest speed, Wang Teng slowly stopped and stepped off the speedometer.
He looked at the value displayed on the speedometer: "12.7 m/s!"
Clearly, speed and attributes were not directly proportional. As for how they were converted, Wang Teng didn't seem to care.
It was just a matter of different values.
Wang Teng was somewhat surprised by the speed he had just tested.
This was already on par with the world champion in the 100-meter dash in his previous life. If martial disciples' bodies were this terrifying, how much more so for martial artists?
"Let's check the physical condition."
The physical condition tester was like a hibernation pod from a sci-fi movie, standing upright in the corner.
Wang Teng walked in, pressed the start test button, and a beam of light scanned his body from head to toe several times!
The physical condition test included a comprehensive evaluation of blood, muscles, bones, meridians, and other factors, which was very complex and could only be done with high technology.
"Ding, scan complete. Student Wang Teng, physical condition 47!"
A beautiful female voice came from the physical condition tester.
"Tsk tsk, even has a voice announcement function."
While marveling at the high-end nature of the physical condition tester compared to the strength tester and speedometer, Wang Teng couldn't help but muse:
"Physical condition 47, which matches the physical condition attribute. It seems only the speed is different."
He looked at the [Martial Disciple Level Classification Table] posted on the wall next to it.
The standard for a low-level martial disciple was a strength of 100 kg to 300 kg, a 100-meter dash time of 9 to 7 seconds (11.11 m/s to 14.28 m/s), and a physical condition of 30 to 50.
Clearly, Wang Teng was already a low-level martial disciple!
He was quite satisfied with this result.
If he wasn't satisfied, would he want to fly to the sky?
After all, from an ordinary person to a low-level martial disciple, he had saved a lot of time compared to others.
One must be content...
"Today, I'll aim to reach the intermediate level of a martial disciple!" Wang Teng was full of enthusiasm and decided to stay in the training hall all day.
The other students were all training individually and didn't pay attention to Wang Teng's test results.
After all, they had just met today and had no close relationship. It would be impolite to suddenly pry into someone else's strength.
Just as Wang Teng was testing, a few more attribute bubbles dropped from the feet of the other students.
Wang Teng's eyes lit up, and he casually walked past them, quietly picking them up.
[Basic Sword Technique * 3]
[Strength * 5]
[Insight * 0.6]
[Speed * 2]
...
"Not bad, not bad, even got some insight, and the Basic Sword Technique is much more proficient!" Wang Teng was secretly pleased.
At this point, there were still too few people, and Wang Teng didn't want to stand out too much and draw attention. He walked into the weapons room and scanned the area with his eyes.
The weapons cabinet displayed many weapons, such as swords, knives, spears, halberds, staffs, and hammers.
Within the same category of weapons, there were many subcategories, for example, swords could be long swords, short swords, flexible swords, and two-handed swords.
It could be said that the variety of weapons here was extensive and complete.
Even if a student learned a more obscure weapon, they could find the weapon they needed in the weapons room.
Wang Teng stood in front of the cabinet displaying swords and took a "Shadow Series" black iron sword.
With the prevalence of martial arts, the weapons industry naturally developed as well, after all, weapons were too important for martial artists.
A martial artist with a sharp weapon had a significant advantage over one without a weapon.
However, the weapons provided to martial disciples were all simulation weapons, with average materials and no inscribed runes.
This "Shadow Series" black iron sword was entirely black, with the same specifications and weight as the real thing, but it had no mysterious runes on its blade.
If a comparison were to be made,
This sword cost only a few hundred dollars, while the real thing would cost hundreds of thousands, a vast difference.
Wang Teng weighed the black iron sword in his hand, and the weight was just right.
Boys have a natural fondness and longing for various weapons.
Many people have even dreamed of wandering the world with a sword!
In his previous life, it was a technological society without martial arts, and Wang Teng had no chance to come into contact with these things.
Now, looking at the long sword in his hand, he felt a bit excited.
Previously, he had obtained the [Basic Sword Technique] attribute and had some understanding of it. Since no one else was training and there were no attribute bubbles to pick up, it was a good time to go out and practice, to see the power of the Basic Sword Technique.
He walked out of the weapons room, found an empty spot, and, following the sword technique memory in his mind, began to practice.
"Swish, swish, swish!"
The long sword swung, making a faint sound as it cut through the air.
If this were to hit a person, it would either kill or seriously injure them.
Among the students, the young man who had provided Wang Teng with the [Basic Sword Technique] attribute was also practicing sword techniques. Seeing Wang Teng with a long sword, he was somewhat surprised.
So he slowly stopped and watched Wang Teng from a distance.
"Just a beginner!"
However, after watching for a while, he shook his head and stopped paying attention.
"How come it doesn't feel too difficult? I became much more proficient after practicing twice."
"My insight is only 19.3, which isn't very high!"
Wang Teng stopped and thought in surprise.
He didn't realize that his 19.3 insight was already much higher than that of ordinary people, and practicing basic techniques naturally wouldn't feel too difficult.
If he were to learn original force combat techniques, it wouldn't be so easy!
Original force combat techniques involve the use of original force, which is inherently complex and profound. Without enough insight, it would be very difficult to practice.
From this, it can be seen that talent is indeed very important in martial arts practice, and those who can become martial artists are all geniuses!
