Volume 3: The World's Strongest Chapter 4 Shocked the Internet
Zhang Zizai rushed over, took a look at Qi Ji's application form and said nothing more. Instead, he looked at Qi Ji seriously.
The two looked at each other for a few seconds, and Zhang Zizai asked in a deep voice: "Eighth stage, are you sure?"
Qi Ji smiled and nodded.
Zhang Zizai was shocked and didn't say anything for a long time.
Yan Qing came over. He would definitely not believe it on other people, but since the one who applied was Qi Ji, he actually felt it was reasonable.
Having witnessed the Rookie Tournament finals with his own eyes, Qi Ji’s strength had almost become a spiritual imprint for him.
His voice was full of excitement: "Brother Qi, come on, we will win!"
Zhang Zizai suddenly slapped his thigh, his face showing extreme excitement: "Qi boy, if you weren't ill, we might have been able to take down Pei Xingjian and make you the head coach of the Zhenwu United Center!"
Qi Ji smiled slightly: "Nonsense, isn't that inevitable?"
Zhang Zizai smiled heartily and took Qi Ji's application form: "Then I have to hand it in to the counter. You better not lie to me!"
"So much nonsense." Qi Ji said with a smile: "Old Zhang, hurry up and go, stop dilly-dallying!"
More than ten minutes later, the staff of the Bingji Alliance who had verified the information came to Qi Ji and said, "Mr. Qi, the examiners are ready. Please move."
His expression was very strange, he was both curious and questioning about Qi Ji.
Qi Ji turned off the screen, put away his phone and followed.
During the short waiting time, he searched his name and found that it had become popular.
Many key words such as Qi Ji, applying for the eighth dan, rookie tournament champion, overestimating one's own abilities, etc., all point to him.
I’m back. My popularity is back!
…
Since the Tianhai Military Professional Alliance is the second largest professional alliance branch in Daxia, the alliance’s own assessment venue is also very impressive.
And since Qi Ji applied for the eighth level assessment, there were only twenty people at this level in the whole of Daxia, so the standard of the assessment was very high.
Not only Zang Feng and his group, but everyone who was in the Alliance Building during this period of time put down what they were doing and followed Qi Ji to the assessment venue.
The staff member brought Qi Ji to the edge of the venue and said to him with a smile: "Mr. Qi, you may have already understood it, but according to the regulations, I have to explain the assessment rules to you again."
Qi Ji smiled and nodded: "Sorry for bothering you, please go ahead."
The staff member smiled and nodded, saying, "According to the regulations of the Global Strike Alliance, the assessment requirements for the eighth level of Strike are mainly divided into two parts."
He paused and continued, "For the first part, the examinee needs to defeat a seventh-level master provided by the alliance three times in a row, with live broadcast and video backup. This seventh-level master cannot be from the country. The master in charge of our Tianhai Alliance branch today is Mana Bianchi, a two-handed sword master from the Nordic It country. Please be careful, Mr. Qi."
Qi Ji nodded, motioning for the other party to continue.
"For the second part, the examinee needs to wear special clothing and helmets provided by the alliance, block vision, hearing, and touch, and dodge soft balls fired at you by a professional machine in a live broadcast and video backup. The test attack on you will be fired ten times at certain intervals, and you need to dodge more than seven times to be considered successful."
The staff member made the final summary: "In short, there are two requirements for passing the eighth stage assessment. One is to be able to consistently defeat the seventh stage, and the second is to prove that you have the eighth stage's unique ability to detect attacks through the sixth sense. This ability is called 'super sense' in Northern Europe, 'intuition' in Sakura, and 'sitting in the summer' in our country."
Then, after Qi Ji made it clear that he understood the assessment rules, the staff stepped aside and signaled him that he could wear protective gear and go on stage to compete.
Zhang Zizai, Du Xishan and Yan Qing immediately came over and quickly helped Qi Ji put on his protective gear.
Then Qi Ji opened his weapon bag and took out the long-lost special weapon - a straight knife with a cross guard.
With Qi Ji's terrifying strength now, he could hardly feel the weight of this straight knife that weighed only five kilograms.
However, things are different now. Although a lighter knife does not feel as good, the actual speed at which it can be swung will become faster. When playing in competitions on Earth, there is no need to pursue too much lethality. Of course, the lighter the weapon, the easier it is to hit the enemy.
His talent in weapon mastery has been maximized. At this moment, he just weighed the weapon and made a cut, and he had already engraved the performance of this old friend in his mind.
The live broadcast of the assessment has already started in advance. The official website of the professional league and the live broadcast channels of major traffic websites will also synchronize the assessment.
The titles of the live broadcast rooms have been uniformly changed to "Live broadcast of the eighth-dan ranking assessment by Qi Ji, a top player."
The live broadcast of the seventh-dan and above dan assessment is the most watched event in the martial arts circle. As soon as the live broadcast started, it immediately attracted a large number of online viewers.
As for the live broadcast rooms of the anchors who arrived at the scene early to follow the live broadcast, they were already extremely popular, with countless barrages scrolling non-stop.
Zhang Zizai watched Qi Ji swinging his weapon, his pupils trembled slightly, and he understood something in his heart.
It seems that this kid has really reached a level that he could not reach at such a young age.
I originally wanted to remind Qi that his opponent was a well-known two-handed swordsman from the country of Ite, who was proficient in Fiore-style swordsmanship and was a powerful enemy stronger than him, Zhang Zizai.
It seems unnecessary now.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Qi Ji walked up to the stage holding his helmet and stood still.
Opposite him was Mana Bianchi, a seventh-level master from the Ite country who was in charge of the assessment.
This is a handsome middle-aged man with dark brown hair and exotic features. He looks younger than Zhang Zizai.
Mana was standing on the stage with a smile on his face, leaning on his sword. His sword looked roughly similar to the two-handed sword used in Meyer's swordsmanship, but the details were slightly different.
When he saw Qi Ji coming up on the stage, he smiled charmingly, and then said in the less-annotated but quite fluent Daxia language: "You are the Qi Ji who is going to take the eighth-level assessment, right? You are so young! The young swordsmen nowadays are really scary!"
Qi Ji smiled and nodded at him, saying, "Thank you for your hard work today, please don't go easy on me."
Mana smiled and shook his head: "I have a strong sense of professional ethics. If I show mercy and get caught, I will be ridiculed. Come on, let's all go all out!"
After saying that, the handsome middle-aged man from Ite country put on a helmet, held the sword with both hands, and made a stance very similar to the "plow stance" in the middle of Meyer's swordsmanship.
It was a short-arm style, a very stable posture. It seemed that Mana did not underestimate Qi Ji.
Zhang Zizai, who was in the audience, saw his posture and felt a slight movement in his heart.
Qi Ji also nodded politely and put on his helmet, then assumed the same middle stance as the other party - the twisted step stance.
To show respect!
The two people confronted each other silently.
The referee walked onto the stage holding a long stick and quickly read out the rules: "Six points for the head, four points for the torso, and two points for the limbs. The first one to accumulate ten points wins."
He turned slightly to look at Qi Ji: "Qi Ji, you need to win three rounds in a row. Please give it your all."
Qi Ji nodded to the referee.
The next moment, the referee waved his hand suddenly to signal the start of the competition.
Qi Ji rushed forward immediately!
So fast!
Even though Qi Ji's transcendence bonus on Earth is limited , his body has reached the limit of a normal person due to the nutrients strengthened by the Blood Bodhi.
Therefore, his current physical fitness is more than twice the limit of ordinary people. Even if he does not activate the meridian nourishing method to burst out, his strength is higher than that in the rookie game finals.
If we simply use strength to represent combat effectiveness, his current deadlift strength is about 680 kilograms!
The strongest strongman ever recorded on Earth could only deadlift 700 kilograms.
Mana's face was filled with surprise under his helmet. The opponent's speed was so fast that he felt very uneasy.
The next second, Qi Ji moved closer quickly. The middle stance was not convenient for launching an attack, so he quickly adjusted to the upper stance - facing toward the sky - at a terrifying speed.
The blade slashed out quickly.
Daye sword technique—bow stance and big chop!
The wide and open posture was full of flaws, but in the face of absolute strength and speed, Mana only had time to raise his hands to block.
The next second, his pupils shook violently, and the sword in his hand was violently deflected as soon as it touched Qi Ji's attack.
Although he was shocked, his instinctive experience from hundreds of battles would not stop him from responding, and he would immediately return to a defensive stance after the long sword was cut open with a quick turn of his wrist.
But it's still slow.
With a thud.
Before the long sword could be pulled back to the center line, the tip of the sword that Qi Ji stabbed with his backhand after slashing had already pierced his breastplate.
Qi Ji immediately stepped back, swung the straight knife in his hand, and easily deflected the opponent's attack.
"Hit the torso, four points!"
The referee announced the score.
He won seven levels in one encounter!
The crowd immediately burst into uproar.
Is this really Qi Ji, who won the rookie tournament in a month but whose strength is estimated to be only six dan?
I haven't seen you for a month. Is he really beaten to the seventh level now?
Mana exclaimed in amazement: "Young man, your knife is very fast, powerful, and your technique... is also very strong!"
Then he put away his shock and assumed the short-arm stance again.
Since he had chosen to serve as the assessor of the alliance, he was naturally prepared to be defeated, so he would not lose his composure because of it.
The referee signaled the two to start fighting again.
In the next few minutes, under the astonished gazes of everyone, Qi Ji used several ancient Chinese sword techniques back and forth, relying on completely suppressing the opponent's strength and speed to successfully defeat Mana.
Then, he put on a special helmet and clothes as required, and with his senses basically completely blocked, he steadily dodged nine of the ten soft balls shot at high speed by the machine from all directions!
The last soft ball was directly cut away by his knife!
Seeing his performance, the onlookers at the scene went completely crazy.
Not to mention the various live broadcast channels on the Internet, the barrage of comments almost fills the entire screen.
Daxia has one more eighth-dan!
The youngest eighth dan in Daxia’s history—Qi Ji.
