Unstoppable Crushing: Starting from Adding Points in Dreams-Chapter 39 The Melee Begins

"Notify everyone that, due to special considerations, the assessment for Core Students will begin ahead of schedule today."

On the Martial Arts Hall practice field, Coach Lu, accompanied by three assessors, walked onto the open ground.

His resounding voice echoed in everyone’s ears, causing many students who had guessed as much to flicker in expression, some surprised, some relieved.

"So it is."

"Didn’t expect the assessment to be brought forward. It’s rather sudden."

"Sooner or later it’s the same, it’s definitely not going to be any of us anyway."

Murmurs of discussion quietly arose; Lin Hao, smiling, stood at the edge and gave Chen Feng a ’I-knew-it’ look.

Thereupon, perhaps deeming the conversation too noisy, Coach Lu raised his eyebrows.

With a slight hand gesture, he lowered his voice and said, "You have ten more minutes to warm up."

"In ten minutes, we will start the assessment right here on the practice field, supervised by the three assessors behind me."

"The rules of this assessment involve a melee. The last victor will obtain the title of Core Student of my Yanwu Gym and ascend to the Core Class...."

Coach Lu quickly announced the assessment rules, surprising many students.

Seeing this, Coach Lu said no more and soon turned to the three people beside him, or more precisely, to the leader Cao Tong.

"Junior Cao, is there anything you wish to add?"

His tone was sincere, as Coach Lu was very aware of his junior’s talent and strength.

Long ago, he was already at Professional Seventh Level, and rumors have it that he is now beginning to practice True Skill, with the prospect of becoming a True Inheritor of the Sect.

Compared to him, he himself was just a Sandboxing coach from a Sub Martial Arts Hall; their status was worlds apart.

If it were not for the other’s nostalgia, he would have to respectfully address him as Brother, even though he was older.

"No."

"Brother Lu, please proceed with the arrangements, we are merely here to oversee."

Cao Tong spoke in a low and resonant tone.

Coach Lu nodded at this and then saw the students on the field beginning to warm up, evidently not daring to delay further.

In a blink of an eye, stretching, extending, punching...

The calls and shouts continued to rise, and the practice field of several hundred square meters quickly became lively.

"Junior Lu, are there any promising talents you find impressive in this batch?"

Someone from the assessment team asked, and Coach Lu instinctively glanced at Xu Dongtai and Chen Feng on the field.

The former was his once most promising candidate, with hopes of achieving the Professional Level.

Moreover, it was said that he had obtained some secret medicine in the last few days.

But...

After pondering, he pointed in Chen Feng’s direction and said truthfully, "This student is pretty good."

"A week ago he had a breakthrough in Martial Arts, improving daily, and in just seven days, went from Entry-level to Mastery in Sandboxing, leaping across five ranks."

"I personally think that his Talent is very high, and he fully deserves to join our Martial Arts Hall’s Core Class."

As he finished speaking, Cao Tong’s face remained expressionless, but the two behind him raised their eyebrows.

A breakthrough in Martial Arts?

Such cases were not common, but ultimately, without exception, they all reached levels beyond the Professional Level.

"Brother Lu, are you sure it’s a breakthrough in Martial Arts and not just a simple epiphany in Sandboxing?"

Cao Tong asked, prompting Coach Lu to hesitate.

A breakthrough in Martial Arts was significantly different from a general epiphany.

The former represented a genuine Talent transformation, with the capability to go far in Martial Arts.

The latter was merely a moment of enlightenment in a single form of Fighting Techniques; it might bring swift progress in the short term, but it was hard to sustain.

"Eight or nine out of ten."

After some thought, Coach Lu said firmly.

He trusted his judgment and couldn’t bear to see such talent buried in the Martial Arts Hall.

After all, he knew that Xu Dongtai had obtained secret medicine, with his strength skyrocketing, and now he was likely approaching Amateur Seventh Rank.

Compared to him, Chen Feng’s duration of awakening was too short, and today’s melee assessment might be a bit daunting; he was very likely to lose.

"A Martial Arts breakthrough needs time to verify, Brother Lu, be careful not to be mistaken."

Someone from the assessment team reminded, obviously feeling that this possibility was not high.

After all, if the judgment was wrong, leading to the Martial Arts Hall making an exceptional recruitment for Core, wasting resources, then as the recommender, one would have to assume the corresponding punishment.

"Junior Zhao, I...."

Coach Lu wanted to argue, but he quickly saw another member of the assessment team shaking his head.

"Junior Lu, the awakening of martial arts is too elusive. It’s also a rarity in the history of our Martial Arts Hall, and in our generation, there is only Little Master Uncle."

"Junior Zhao is also worried that you might be penalized for involvement, you shouldn’t blame him for speaking out."

After hearing that, Coach Lu realized the rationale.

He sighed, no longer argued, and finally could only look towards Cao Tong.

The latter was the main person in charge of this assessment. Whether Chen Feng could continue to qualify as a Core Student after failing the assessment depended on whether the other party was willing to speak up.

"Let’s see," said Cao Tong expressionlessly, standing tall like a tower.

Solemn and silent.

Seeing this, Coach Lu tactfully said no more, only turning his head silently to look at Chen Feng practicing in the field.

Chen Feng, Chen Feng, I’ve done my best.

I hope you can impress Junior Cao.

.....

"Zheng Qiang, are you really planning to help Xu Dongtai?"

On the practice field, Yu Shan stood close to Zheng Qiang and whispered.

"Nonsense, why wouldn’t I take the money?"

"That’s a whole ten thousand yuan, more than what a usual boxer would make," Zheng Qiang said with a look as if he were talking to an idiot, which made Yu Shan raise an eyebrow.

"Of course, there are also personal grudges."

Zheng Qiang, knowing his thoughts had been seen through, did not hide them.

"That little brat made me lose face badly that day; I couldn’t lift my head for days."

"Now that I finally have a chance, I must regain my face on this stage."

As he finished speaking, Yu Shan had a look of understanding.

Then, glancing towards the young figure warming up in the corner, he couldn’t help but show a hint of pity.

What a shame.

What’s the use of talent...

.....

"Brother Dong, Zheng Qiang and Yu Shan won’t turn on us, will they?"

On the practice field, Zhou Xin stood next to Xu Dongtai, warming up together, and asked with caution.

The chaotic assessment was about to begin, and he was worried that these two might become turncoats.

"As long as they’re not stupid, they know what to do."

Xu Dongtai said with an expressionless face, full of strong confidence.

Then, standing in place to stretch his muscles, his gaze subtly moved and consciously lingered in the direction of the assessment team for a few seconds.

Cao Tong!

He hadn’t expected this person to come for the assessment.

Professional Seventh Level, with the hope of becoming a True Inheritor.

The private coach his family hired had praised the other party’s prowess more than once.

If he could show stronger potential in today’s chaotic assessment, perhaps he would have a chance to be appreciated and gain a backer.

Thinking of this, Xu Dongtai’s eyes burned with eagerness, a yearning flashing quietly in them.

Then, his gaze shifted.

He finally looked towards the figure in the corner, warming up inconspicuously with Lin Hao.

As if sensing the gaze, Chen Feng turned his head to look over.

In the moment of eye contact, Xu Dongtai sneered, sliding his hand across his neck in a mocking gesture.

After taking the secret medicine, he was almost at the strength of an Amateur Seventh Rank.

Not to mention, Zheng Qiang and Yu Shan, both of whom had been recruited by him.

Therefore, Chen Feng, who used to be a slight threat, was now nothing more than an ant that could be easily squashed.

With that thought in mind, Xu Dongtai’s expression became indifferent again, retracting his condescending gaze.

His muscles stretched, warming up.

He knew, the spot for Core Student was secured!
