The young man's shot also pierced the target, leaving a hole the size of an egg, but the point of impact was still some distance from the bullseye. Compared to his usual performance, this was a bit off, but the gun he usually trained with was at least equipped with a sight.
"70 points!" the examiner's unchanging voice announced the score.
The young man was somewhat disappointed, but then he felt a bit proud, as this was the best score so far.
"It's your turn!" he glared at Qianye, saying viciously.
Qianye smiled slightly, picked up the elemental force gun, and completed the charging and aiming in one smooth motion, firing a shot.
The red elemental force bullet shot towards the target. However, the point of impact was clearly off, and it seemed to be in the 50-point range at most.
The young man's face immediately showed joy, but then his smile froze.
A loud boom was heard, and the red elemental force bullet suddenly exploded on the target, shattering most of it! The bullseye area naturally did not escape unscathed.
"100 points!" Hearing the examiner's voice, the young man was stunned and exclaimed, "Is this even possible?"
Of course, it was possible.
For the next moving target, Qianye still fired casually. Although the condensed elemental force bullet was somewhat off the bullseye, it shattered the entire target. This shot was also a perfect score.
In the subsequent long-range, short-range, moving target, and rapid-fire tests, Qianye shattered every target, naturally achieving a perfect score each time.
The young man had long stopped laughing.
He had already realized that Qianye's perfect scores were not a fluke. Without mentioning anything else, just with this lousy exam gun, he could only manage to make a slightly larger hole than others, no matter how hard he tried. But Qianye, using the same gun, could shatter the target with every shot. The difference lay in the elemental force!
The exam ended, and the young man directly placed the necklace in Qianye's hand, saying, "My name is Wei Potian! Our Wei family has a bit of a reputation in the Far East Province. If you have time to visit the Far East Province in the future, you can make a request to our Wei family."
Hearing this powerful and domineering name, Qianye was slightly taken aback. If he hadn't forgotten all his cultural studies, the young man's identity tag clearly read "Wei Qiyang."
The young man saw Qianye's expression and immediately patted his chest with a grand gesture, saying loudly, "Potian is a name I gave myself. How about it, isn't it great? Have you been overwhelmed by my domineering aura? I, Wei Potian, am going to become a man who can punch through the sky!"
Qianye took the necklace and his impression of Wei Potian slightly improved. This guy was a man of his word, although his behavior was a bit sleazy and he didn't look like a scion of a noble family. Besides, his name was a bit silly, but he didn't have many other flaws.
On the way to the next exam venue, Qianye finally asked Wei Potian a question he had been holding back: "Why did you cause trouble for me just now? Because of my identity?"
Wei Potian immediately scoffed at this idea: "Identity? A commoner? Ha, I'm not one of those fools who think they are born superior. Besides, anyone who can stand here is a tough guy. I caused trouble for you just because of your face!"
Qianye touched his face and said, somewhat enlightened, "My face? Oh, I see, I look like someone you hate, right?"
Wei Potian immediately shook his head: "Of course not! I just purely hate pretty boys! Seeing your face makes me want to punch it! How can you be more beautiful than my women?!"
Hearing this reason, Qianye felt his hand itching, and he also wanted to punch something, like the nose of a man who wants to punch through the sky.
Wei Potian suddenly smiled strangely and lowered his voice, saying, "How about we bet again? Let's bet on the next exam. The stakes are the same! If you lose, give the necklace back to me!"
Qianye glanced at him and said, "But you only have one necklace."
Wei Potian immediately raised his wrist and said, "I have this too!" On his wrist was a bracelet made of the same material as the necklace, with a tag hanging from it.
Qianye frowned slightly and said, "I can't help but feel this thing is useless. With your bear-like appearance, do you really have any authority in your family?"
Qianye almost let slip "your bear-like appearance." But at this point, Wei Potian clearly knew what he originally wanted to say.
In response to Qianye's unmasked suspicion, Wei Potian's face turned iron gray, and he said with burning anger, "Anyway, I'll take back the necklace after the next exam. You don't need to worry about my authority!"
The next exam was hand-to-hand combat.
The rules of hand-to-hand combat were simple: one-on-one battles, you could challenge anyone, but you couldn't refuse challenges from others. Throughout the exam, as long as you could win five consecutive matches, you would complete the hand-to-hand combat exam, and then the ranking would be determined by the win rate.
The large playground was divided into hundreds of hand-to-hand combat arenas, with a soldier standing in each arena as a referee.
As soon as Qianye stepped onto the hand-to-hand combat arena, Wei Potian stood in front of him, cracking his knuckles and grinning maliciously.
"Hey, Lin, it's not too late to admit defeat now, so you don't get beaten up too badly!" Wei Potian resumed his slick tone.
Qianye's face showed a faint smile, and he said, "But it's too late for you to admit defeat now."
Wei Potian's face immediately darkened, and he sneered, "Then I'll just have to beat you into a pig's head! Just don't cry about me bullying you with my family's status later!"
Wei Potian stood with his feet apart, his arms slowly forming a circle. As elemental force surged, his entire aura suddenly changed, becoming as heavy and solid as a mountain standing in front of Qianye!
"I'll show you what true secret combat techniques are! Wei Family Secret: Thousand Mountains!" Wei Potian's voice and aura had completely changed, becoming majestic and weighty, as if he had suddenly become a different person.
Qianye immediately felt an无形 pressure coming at him.
There were actually real secret combat techniques! In the past, Longhai had mentioned that in some noble families and sects, there were secret combat techniques based on elemental force, often mysterious and powerful.
However, the Yellow Springs Training Camp had never taught any systematic combat techniques. Longhai only explained the basic principles of combat, vital points on living bodies, and how to use the most effective methods to minimize one's own injuries and maximize damage to the opponent.
This was Qianye's first time facing a true combat technique! He was a bit nervous, but more excited, a kind of excitement that yearned for intense battle!
Wei Potian hooked his fingers at Qianye and said, "Come on, let me give you the first move! If I move, you won't have another chance!"
The Yellow Springs had taught Qianye many things, but not courtesy or etiquette. Qianye did not hesitate at all. As soon as Wei Potian finished speaking, he suddenly stepped forward and delivered a powerful kick to Wei Potian!
The kick was as fast as a thunderbolt, and a faint crackling sound could be heard in the air!
As soon as Qianye kicked, Wei Potian exclaimed and his face changed immediately! His reaction was also at its peak, and he instantly changed his stance, sinking his waist and swinging his arms to block Qianye's kick!
A dull thud sounded, and Qianye's kick actually sent Wei Potian flying several meters! The air still echoed with the crackling sound, the result of the elemental force clash.
Qianye also grunted. The opponent's reaction was fast, and the defense was quite sophisticated, but the force he felt after the impact was much lower than he expected.
This kick was just a test, and Qianye had only used 80% of his strength, yet it sent Wei Potian flying!
If it were in the Yellow Springs Training Camp, most of the students in Qianye's class could have taken this kick without much trouble.
Seeing Wei Potian's surprised expression, Qianye did not hesitate. His right leg shot up like lightning, delivering another powerful kick to Wei Potian. This time, Qianye used his full strength!
Hearing the crackling sound caused by the elemental force, Wei Potian's face changed drastically. He let out a strange cry, and a layer of light yellow glow suddenly enveloped his body. He raised his arms to protect himself, using an offensive stance to defend, and charged at Qianye's kick. At this point, he had no choice; if he didn't take a chance with an attack, he would be kicked out of the arena again.
Another dull thud sounded, and Wei Potian did not retreat! But this was not a good thing, as he could no longer use retreat to dissipate the heavy kick from Qianye.
Wei Potian barely suppressed the surge of blood in his chest, feeling both shocked and frustrated. The power of this kick was already on par with a third-level combatant! If Qianye was under 17 years old and already at a third-level level, he wouldn't need to take the exam; he would be directly recruited by the top military units.
Before he could even complain, Qianye had already pounced, delivering punches, kicks, knee strikes, and elbow strikes in a storm of attacks, each targeting vital points and landing with great force!
Wei Potian, like a small boat in a storm, barely withstood seven or eight attacks before his defense was completely shattered. His arms were broken through, and his center was wide open. Qianye blocked Wei Potian's arms with one hand and lightly hit his abdomen with the other.
This hit was indeed light by Qianye's standards, as he had reduced nearly half of his strength. However, Wei Potian's abdomen was unexpectedly soft, and Qianye's entire fist sank in. If Qianye had used his full strength, this punch would have shattered Wei Potian's internal organs.
Qianye was also quite surprised. The abdomen is the location of the qi sea, the center of the elemental force vortex. He knew his elemental force was much heavier than that of ordinary people, so he held back, not expecting one punch to solve the problem.
If this punch had landed on a training camp student, it would have only slightly affected them. In fact, Qianye had prepared seven or eight follow-up attack methods to knock the opponent down without disabling them, but now they seemed completely unnecessary.
Wei Potian, the expert in the Wei Family Secret: Thousand Mountains, looked like he had been taken down with one punch.
Qianye suddenly stepped back several meters, creating distance between himself and Wei Potian.
Wei Potian's face turned pale, and his trembling hand pointed at Qianye, saying with disbelief, "Is this even possible?" Then he suddenly knelt down and began to vomit profusely.
