Era of Magic and Martial Arts-Chapter 272 - 256: A Bizarre Yet Professional Report
The 3D projection swiftly changed.
Soon, a giant humanoid skeleton was frozen in place.
The skeleton stood over two meters tall, with exceptionally robust bones that looked like armor made of piled white bones, topped with Li Bashan’s fierce face.
"Humanoid?" Qian Huan’s tone carried a hint of surprise. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮
Shi Wuming widened his eyes, carefully observed for a moment, and then explained:
"Although humanoid bone forms are rare, they are not nonexistent. Many martial arts beginners, due to either not having practiced their skills adequately, or because the grade of martial arts they practice is too low, or because their own root bone quality is too poor, or perhaps because they are practicing those obsolete flashy martial arts from the Ancient Era, can possibly maintain a humanoid bone form."
Qian Huan furrowed his brow and said, "No, Li Bashan’s martial arts can’t be that poor."
Shi Wuming thought for a moment and then said, "Then maybe the martial arts he practices aren’t high-grade enough to significantly affect the bone form?"
Qian Huan had someone gather basic information about [Douqiong Martial Arts Hall], and he shook his head, saying, "To run a martial arts hall and take in students, they must have some foundational martial arts to rely on."
Shi Wuming didn’t understand why Qian Huan placed so much importance on Li Bashan. During his recent detection of Li Bashan, he only noticed that the man was tall and massive, and didn’t find anything otherwise remarkable.
Shi Wuming shrugged and said, "Then he must be practicing Old Martial Arts. In that case, you don’t need to worry about him."
He paused and continued explaining:
"Old Martial Arts emphasize exploring the fundamental potential of the human body, but many laboratories have proven that humans have limits, just like gods placing shackles on humans. So, even if a martial artist dedicates their life to it, they can only reach as high as the Sixth Grade at best, and further breakthroughs are as hard as reaching the sky."
"Human bone forms have shackles, which is why New Martial emerged. Only by relying on external forces, mimicking external objects, and transforming bone forms can one transcend the shackles of humanity."
"Since the rise of New Martial Arts, it’s been two hundred years. The grade boundary of martial arts has been repeatedly updated, climbing from the initial Sixth Grade to today’s Ninth Grade."
"Recent years have seen rumors that in Upper City, some have already surpassed the Ninth Grade boundary, touching upon a brand-new martial arts realm."
Shi Wuming’s eyes shown with strong yearning, his tone revealing undisguised disdain for Old Martial Arts:
"In summary, Old Martial Arts are obsolete trash, and humanoid bone forms are the least potential ones. You don’t need to place too much value on him."
Qian Huan pondered for a moment. It wasn’t that he didn’t believe Shi Wuming’s theory; it aligned with the mainstream thoughts of today. The [Bone Detection Eye] was also a secret research outcome of the Bright Group, combining both authority and advancement.
There was no reason for Qian Huan not to believe, but he still said, "Let’s measure the specific figures."
Shi Wuming nodded, uploading the data to the Bright Server via the micro-card inserted in his ear, while calmly quoting a price to Qian Huan:
"The fee for database comparison detection is 100,000 yuan per person. Don’t forget to transfer the fee to me later."
Qian Huan was slightly taken aback, a hint of astonishment flashing across his face: "You still need to pay?"
Shi Wuming looked at Qian Huan as if he were an idiot and countered, "What gave you the illusion that you don’t have to pay?"
Qian Huan replied, "Wasn’t the [Bone Detection Eye] implanted by the Group for you? Yet you charge for detection results. Aren’t you here to protect me, assigned by the Group? Why does using detection incur extra charges?"
Shi Wuming responded as if it were only natural, "That’s correct, so that’s why you’re paying."
"You make such a convincing argument!" Qian Huan didn’t want to speak any further and silently made the transfer.
Seeing Qian Huan obediently pay up, Shi Wuming smiled, though he had inflated the price—by only double.
After all, Bright was never free, and neither were its servants.
Three minutes later, the detection results came back.
Shi Wuming projected the result sheet into the air.

Qian Huan looked at the detection report cast in the air, his pupils slightly constricting. Although he couldn’t fully understand the report, the seemingly profound terms and the exceptionally complex charts made Qian Huan feel the professionalism embedded in every word.
Simply put, the money was spent on acquiring knowledge and was not wasted.
Qian Huan pondered for a while and asked, "What does this secondary database mean, is there a primary database above it?"
Shi Wuming tersely replied, "Yes, but it has nothing to do with us. The primary database stores more advanced bone templates, corresponding to targets at higher life levels, which are martial artists of Seventh Grade and above."
Besides, Shi Wuming didn’t have access to the primary database.
He paused, his gaze flickering with a hint of sarcasm, and looked at Qian Huan:
"You don’t really plan to have Li Bashan’s bone form compared to the primary database, do you?"
Qian Huan wasn’t that fanciful, he shook his head, his gaze falling to the final score: "88, Fifth Grade, huh?"
This score, how to say, isn’t considered low, indicating Li Bashan did indeed hide some of his strength, but perhaps not overly exaggeratedly?
It seems somewhat unworthy of the reinforced triple explosion-proof glass walls in the office!
Qian Huan pinched his brow, feeling a bit disappointed: "It’s odd, I keep feeling that he’s more than just Fifth Grade, that gut-wrenching feeling is really..."
Shi Wuming interrupted Qian Huan, saying earnestly, "Human feelings are very inaccurate, don’t trust feelings, trust the numbers!"
Shi Wuming at this moment seemed more like a salesman than a bodyguard, gently asking: "So, do you want to test someone else?"
