Volume 3: The World's Strongest Chapter 5: Promotion to the Eighth Stage
Qi Ji completed the eighth-level assessment in a very short time.
And it was won in a way that left no suspense.
In terms of actual combat effectiveness, he defeated the well-known Ite country's seventh-dan two-handed swordsman Mana Bianchi without losing any points.
The win was clean and neat. From the live broadcast and video replay, it can be seen that the skills displayed by Marner were almost the same as in previous games. He really tried his best.
If this was an act, then we can only say that Qi Ji and Mana are both actors at the best actor level.
As for the sixth sense test, there was no suspense at all. Qi Ji, who was wearing closed sensory equipment, performed perfectly in dodging the ball shot by the machine. He started dodging almost the moment the ball left the gun. The final blow that cut the high-speed flying ball away was even more exaggerated.
Apart from the fact that Qi Ji is a rare natural genius with an extremely strong sixth sense, there is no other reason to explain why can achieve this.
With the end of Qi Ji's eighth stage assessment, Da Xia's military circle fell into a carnival.
Because of the suspension controversy, many of the haters who criticized Qi Ji in the Bingji forum have now disappeared, replaced by praise and boasting.
Twenty-five years old, eighth dan!
In Daxia, a country that has provided fertile soil for the military circle but has not yet cultivated many flowers, an eighth-dan of this age has never appeared.
The eight sections before Qi Ji were all uncles who were at least thirty-three or thirty-four years old.
To put it bluntly, young people find it very difficult to be fans.
For someone like Qi Ji, who is tall, handsome, and a hot topic, the only obstacle he has to overcome is that his skills are not at the top level...
His commercial value has reached its maximum.
The specific manifestation was that when Qi Ji was waiting for the review of the assessment results and the production of his rank certificate, Zhang Zizai received a phone call and performed a face-changing technique for Qi Ji.
From a frowning, doubtful young daisy, it transformed into an old chrysanthemum with a blooming smile.
After answering the phone, Zhang Zizai came directly to Qi Ji and said to him: "Qi boy, I will take you directly to the human resources department when I get back."
"What?" Qi Ji looked confused.
Zhang Zizai laughed: "I'll change the contract for you!"
Qi Ji touched his chin and said, "It's only been a month since I changed it, why are you changing it again?"
Zhang Zizai grabbed Qi Ji's shoulders and shook them violently: "From the time you passed the eighth stage assessment until the closing at three o'clock just now, the group's shares rose to the limit!"
"This..." Qi Ji was also shocked, then laughed and teased: "Then you have to change me to a real top contract?"
Unexpectedly, Zhang Zizai nodded seriously: "You guessed it right. Several shareholders issued an order through the directors to change your contract to a top contract and sign a contract with you according to the ninth stage standard!"
Oh my god, shareholders of Zangfeng, you have good vision!
He asked curiously, "There are only a few ninth-level players in Daxia. What is their contract price?"
Zhang Zizai chuckled and held up a finger: "Close to 100 million a year! But this is probably the amount I'll give you!"
As he said this, he changed it to seven fingers.
Qi Ji almost jumped up: "70 million?"
Zhang Zizai nodded vigorously: "Do you know how much the stock price of Cangfeng Group is at a daily limit?"
Qi Ji shook his head and said coolly, "There's no need to know . It's definitely much more than my salary anyway."
What's there to worry about? Can he still be better than those wealthy shareholders?
However, in the morning he was still thinking about being supported by the rich woman Qin Zijin, but in the afternoon he started to act like "I am a wealthy family"?
Could it be that I am really the protagonist of some fantasy story?
Qi Ji couldn't help but laugh out loud when he thought of this.
Then he put away his gradually derailed fantasy, turned around and asked Zhang Zizai: "So when are we going back to sign the contract? "
Zhang Zizai laughed and said, "Don't worry now. Your matter has been finalized. We will set off back after we get the certificate."
Naturally, there is no need to elaborate on such trivial matters as actual contract negotiations in this story.
Simply put, Qi Ji successfully obtained the eighth-dan certificate and also successfully obtained a top-level contract with very favorable terms.
…
Walking out of the HR department with Zhang Zi, Zhang Zi was smiling brightly, but Qi Ji didn't feel anything special.
He didn't pursue money very much. He was just slightly excited when Zhang Zizai told him that his annual salary would increase to 70 million.
Now after the excitement, I can’t help but feel that it’s just like that.
Even if you are worth billions, you only sleep on that one bed, and after a hundred years, it will just turn into a piece of earth.
Zhang Zizai beside him was happy for a while, then suddenly remembered something, turned around and said to Qi Ji: "Things happened one after another, and I forgot to tell you another more important thing in detail."
Qi Ji gave him a puzzled look and motioned for him to continue speaking.
Zhang Zizai straightened his expression and said seriously, "I just said that you came out of retreat at the right time. It's not just about today's promotion. The head coach of Shen'an Zhenwu United Center retired two days ago."
He paused and organized his words: "The Longchang and Wanjian clubs have already sent us a letter, agreeing that we will finalize the new joint head coach candidate as soon as possible in Shen'an City the day after tomorrow."
Qi Ji immediately understood what Zhang Zizai said, which was to ask him to get ready and set off quickly.
So he said, "So should we set out today or tomorrow?"
Zhang Zizai thought for a moment and said, "Tomorrow, one day is not a big deal. You just came out of the closed-door training, so it's a good time to rest for a day and recover. The next Pei Xingjian is not an easy guy to deal with."
"That's fine." Qi Ji nodded slightly.
After saying goodbye to Zhang Zizai, Yan Qing came over again.
I haven't seen the little guy for a month, but he is still so energetic. If you look closely, you can see that he seems to have become a lot stronger and taller.
"Brother Qi, we agreed before that you would teach me the Wuming Sword move after the rookie game, but you just disappeared!" Yan Qing didn't have the beating heart and concerns of adults, he just stated his purpose directly.
Qi Ji laughed: "Yan Qing, I was indeed wrong this time, so shall we start now?"
Yan Qing immediately nodded vigorously.
So the two of them walked to the training ground, and Qi Ji began to teach the young man the key points of the three-stage thrust.
Just when Qi Ji was teaching Yan Qing new skills.
The branch of the Military Strike Alliance in Shen'an City of Daxia is also in the assessment field.
A tall swordsman, wearing special clothes and a helmet, with his senses completely blocked, easily dodged ten soft balls shot at him at high speed.
After dodging, he took off his helmet, revealing a cold and handsome face.
If Qi Ji saw this handsome face, he would probably remember that he had seen this person's information a month ago.
"Preliminary confirmation, Pei Xingjian has passed the eighth level of assessment!" The staff in charge of the assessment stepped onto the stage and announced loudly to all the onlookers.
The crowd watching was suddenly in an uproar.
Amid the uproar, Pei Xingjian silently took off his test equipment, put on his own clothes and walked out of the examination room.
His agent chased him out and asked speechlessly, "Are you not waiting for your eighth-level certificate?"
Pei Xingjian turned around to look at his agent and said coldly, "You stay here to collect it for me. I'll go back first."
Sword swing, footwork, physical strength, reaction, meditation...
According to his plan, he still needed to complete a huge amount of practice today, and this rank test took up too much of his time.
The agent nodded helplessly. He was already used to this kind of behavior of his players.
Not long after, when Qi Ji was still pointing out the shortcomings in Yan Qing's moves, a piece of news made the fighting circle, which had already been shocked by Qi Ji, lively again.
"Pei Xingjian of the Wanjian Club is promoted to the eighth level!"
