7 The Powerful Attributes of a Transcendent Martial Artist

Yesterday, his total attribute points were only eleven! Today, it increased by nearly five times. This was simply unbelievable. At the moment, Qin Feng's points had exceeded the criteria for martial arts academies by three times. In fact, if his total attribute points were made known, he may not even have to take the assessments. The martial arts academies would automatically send him invitations to enroll. Basically, he had just reached the sky in one step.

...

"Ring! Ring!"

The phone in Qin Feng's pocket suddenly rang. He took out the high-tech phone and glanced at it. Based on the caller ID, it was his classmate, Zhang Liang.

Qin Feng picked up the phone but before he could say anything, the other party spoke, "Qin Feng, did you finish your assessment?"

"Yes."

Qin Feng nodded and replied.

They were just regular classmates and had an ordinary relationship. 

"So… Did you pass…?"

"I didn't."

This conversation somehow probed one of his memories. In this world, the federal government would provide free financial aid for students to study until high school. After graduating from high school, every student had two choices. They could study martial arts or literature.

Since this world mainly focused on martial arts, the first option was undoubtedly popular. Unfortunately, not everyone would succeed. Martial artists could not be the only good career. Otherwise, none martial artists would become useless for the rest of their lives. Hence, the federal government promoted literature. It was more for those who were book-smart. 

If Qin Feng could not get into a decent literature school, he would have to find a job after graduation. If he did, his future would still be bright. He could still acquire an important position. After accumulating a certain amount of wealth, he could save them for his future descendants. Perhaps they could live out the dream in his stead.

The assessment Qin Feng took earlier was actually his first. If it were anyone else, they would have already decided to study literature instead. However, things turn out differently for Qin Feng. Something miraculous happened in his own house. He caught a lucky break. Under such circumstances, why would he ever choose to study literature?

Regardless, he had to return to his school first to report the situation. The federal government was afraid that some students might miss out, so recruitments for martial arts academies were held twice a year. This also meant each student had two chances to get in. The first assessment was held from the first of July to the end of the month. The second assessment could be taken one month later. If a student failed both times, their only option would be to study literature.

On the other hand, if they refused the government's arrangement, that was fine too. They could do whatever they wanted. The government was simply providing an alternative. Everyone's choice was in their own hands. There were also private martial arts academies that did not follow the national enrollment policy. Each had its own standards and rules. Hence, some adults still had the chance to become martial artists.

Normally, out of six hundred students, only one hundred would succeed in their endeavors. Those who failed could continue in other academies, provided they passed their assessments. 

Still, there was a catch. The academies might be providing a second chance, but their standards had increased significantly. Unless the person was outstanding, the academies would not even bat an eye. For example, in Qingping Military Academy, no more than five adults pass their entrance exam every year. 

If a person failed all the opportunities listed above, they would have no more chances. After all, nurturing martial artists was not cheap. The government had spent sixty percent of the nation's financial expenditure here. In addition to all the other competitors, things were naturally intense.

Martial artists who were slightly above average were essentially insignificant. Every academy had an enrollment quota, but students were obviously allowed to exceed it. In other words, unless the person was a genius, their chance of being admitted was low. 

Qin Feng was confident he could pass the assessments with the help of his old mansion. Even the adult version of assessments seemed possible. He planned to show off his abilities even though it might be risky. A martial artist was more or less equal to a top scorer in ancient times. Qin Feng had to take his future seriously. He was not trying to be arrogant. 

Putting aside his thoughts, Qin Feng replied indifferently, "I'm going to the academy now."

A sigh could be heard coming from the other end of the phone. 

"Oh." 

Subsequently, Zhang Liang hung up. It was like he had changed into a completely different person. Qin Feng was used to it. In this world, only the strong were respected. The weak were treated like a sin!

Zhang Liang could have never guessed what happened to Qin Feng after the latter failed his assessment. At the moment, Qin Feng could be considered the most talented person in Qingping City. 

As odd as it sounds, everything was thanks to his pond and storeroom. Stranger things would definitely happen in the future. Even if it was only the pond and storeroom, it was enough for Qin Feng to become one of the world's top martial artists. Zhang Liang had just missed his chance to befriend an upcoming peerless expert.
