You Have Science, I Have Martial Arts-Chapter 674 - 296: You Even Fooled a Nearly Retired Veteran! (Part 2)

After lecturing for a while, Molly saw that Ye Qingzhou was silent and thought she had successfully persuaded him. She smiled and asked, "So, are you still going to ask for leave?"

"Yes."

"Huh? So my speech just now was in vain?" 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

"I know you mean well for me, Teacher Mo, but this time I'm taking leave to participate in the Master-level martial arts assessment."

"I remember you're still a Professional First Rank, right?"

Molly was a bit dumbfounded after hearing this.

Ye Qingzhou, on the other hand, was puzzled, "The Master Level assessment doesn't have requirements for the candidate's Professional Rank, does it?"

In the Dongji Kingdom's martial arts level evaluation, a martial arts apprentice at the Apprentice Level needs to pass an assessment to earn the official title of a Professional Level Martial Artist.

As for the Master Level assessment for martial artists, there are no strict requirements regarding Professional Rank, as martial arts cultivation is not a point-based system, and the difference in cultivation is very direct and obvious.

If you're capable, you're capable; if not, you're not.

So theoretically, both the lowest Professional First Rank and the highest Professional Ninth Rank are eligible to participate in the Master Level progression assessment.

Of course, whether you can pass or not is another matter.

"Are you sure?"

"I'm sure."

After repeatedly asking, Molly finally granted Ye Qingzhou another leave note and even personally contacted the Imperial Martial Arts Association to arrange an examination for him.

On the other side, at the advancement assessment office of the Imperial Martial Arts Association.

Li Guoxing, who had just successfully advanced to Grandmaster, called his colleague at the Grandmaster Level, Mo Yidong: "Elder Mo, it's Guoxing."

"Oh, it's Guoxing. What's the matter?"

"It's like this, your granddaughter just called and said she would bring someone over this afternoon to take the Master Level assessment."

"Hmm? Male or female!"

"It's a male."

Li Guoxing didn't seriously check Ye Qingzhou's identity, just knowing he was from Imperial University, and this time he was attempting the Master Level assessment, most likely he was a teacher-in-training of the Martial Arts System from Imperial University, with only a slight possibility of being a main member of the university team.

Mo Yidong thought the same and couldn't help but consider, "Little Li, this child, actually brings someone over personally. They must have an unusual relationship."

Then he got anxious.

"No, I need to personally oversee this."

Obviously, Mo Yidong and Li Guoxing both misunderstood the relationship between Molly and Ye Qingzhou, especially Mo Yidong, as Molly was his precious granddaughter who was already twenty-eight and still unmarried, making the family quite anxious.

That's why Mo Yidong was so tense this time.

"By the way, why does the name Ye Qingzhou sound familiar?"

As a semi-retired Martial Arts Grandmaster, Mo Yidong rarely paid attention to the young martial arts talents these days, focusing mainly on 'nurturing', such as taking walks and bird-watching.

Besides his granddaughter's lifelong matters, no other issues were worth his attention.

At three in the afternoon, Molly personally drove Ye Qingzhou to the examination office.

Outside was an office building, but inside it was a small secret realm capable of withstanding the full force of a Peak Grandmaster. Since it was too barren without any rare treasures, it was transformed into a venue specifically for advancement assessments.

At the entrance of the secret realm, Molly was quite surprised to see Mo Yidong: "Grandfather, aren't you on vacation at home? Why are you here?"

Li Guoxing laughed and helped explain: "Elder Mo is the most experienced Grandmaster in our office, and with his rich experience, he surely can give better cultivation advice."

"Really?"

Molly tilted her head with a puzzled expression.

While Mo Yidong put on the air of an elder as if a treasure, seriously saying, "That's correct, exactly so."

Seeing that her grandfather, Mo Yidong, said so, Molly naturally did not continue to doubt and instead introduced Ye Qingzhou, pulling him to the front: "This is my student, Ye Qingzhou. He's just finished his freshman year in college."

"Freshman?"

Mo Yidong looked at Ye Qingzhou, then at his granddaughter, and began to hesitate in his mind: "The age gap is almost ten years, huh? But I must say, this young guy is quite handsome, with a third of my charm from back in the day, really suitable to be my granddaughter's husband. Besides, in the new era, what's a ten-year gap? At most, you can embrace three pieces of gold, and my granddaughter's not lacking!"

"Follow me."

Mo Yidong gave Ye Qingzhou a friendly smile and beckoned to him.

Molly encouraged Ye Qingzhou, "Go for it, even if you lose, it doesn't matter. Just do your best."

Their interaction deepened Mo Yidong's impression: "Hmph, although you're quite handsome and promising at a young age, if you want to capture a flower from our Mo family, let's see if you have the capability first."

After entering the secret realm, the two found themselves on a desolate barren land.

Numerous strange rocks stood around, with several special terrains, enough to generally assess the strength of a martial artist.

"Young man, make your move."

Mo Yidong stood with hands behind his back, his goatee and the corner of his clothes swayed with the wind, presenting an image and aura of a peerless master.

Without a word, Ye Qingzhou drew his sword from its sheath.

Zheng~

The 'Nine Heavens Divine Sword Thunder Control Technique' revealed its sharpness once again, with the sword's body emitting thunder sounds and electric light swirling around, releasing astonishing waves of primordial qi.

"Third Gear."

Ye Qingzhou's entire body resonated at the cellular level. Within his mitochondria, water and fire qi intermingled and fused, with immense heat turning into a torrent of energy, flowing tremendously through his Eight Extraordinary Meridians.

"What the hell???"

Mo Yidong's confident smile quickly froze. His scalp tingled, his mind alarmed frantically, and for a moment, he even felt at a loss.

'Who am I?'

'Where am I?'

'What am I doing?'

After pondering these existential questions, Mo Yidong suddenly remembered that he was presiding over a Master-level advancement assessment, and the person participating in the assessment was an eighteen-year-old young man.

However, looking at the surging martial arts true qi within Ye Qingzhou, akin to a raging sea storm, Mo Yidong only felt it was all too absurd.

This is freaking eighteen?

Just as Mo Yidong was swearing inwardly, Ye Qingzhou's sword moved.

The sharp sound resounded, as the thunderous sword light enveloped the sky, truly like thunder roaring and flashing, unstoppable in its might.

Mo Yidong, at this moment, dared not underestimate, as he planted both feet on the ground, borrowed the strength of Kunn Earth, and a fierce aura transformed behind him into a majestic tiger.

Tiger, the king of beasts, its appearance commands awe throughout the world!

Roar~

The tiger's roar echoed across thousands of valleys, the west wind bitter cold.

Geng Metal's ominous aura wreathed Mo Yidong's arms. His claws reached out, directly aiming to grasp the thunderous sword slashed by Ye Qingzhou.

Sword qi and tiger claws clashed, and under the violent shockwaves, the ground beneath Mo Yidong was unable to withstand the terrifying aftermath, immediately blasted into a large pit, with thousands of tons of dust flying into the sky.

After a long while, the swirling dust eventually revealed Mo Yidong's figure standing proudly.

Still maintaining the initial appearance of a transcendent personage, he kept his supermundane posture.

"Young man, your swordsmanship is quite impressive. Go back and practice a few more years, and you might catch up with me."

Standing with hands behind his back, Mo Yidong's expression was calm and collected.

Nevertheless, between his fingers, his cracked tiger mouth showed that without his muscle contraction control, the blood would have long splattered out.

"Grandmaster Mo indeed has extraordinary strength."

Ye Qingzhou urged his sword techniques again, soon both their ears filled with the sound of overwhelming waves washing everything away, as though the mighty rivers were right in front of them, with ceaseless flowing waters, rivers extending endlessly.

"Grandmaster Mo, I have another move, 'Infinite Sword', for you to appreciate."

Pointing his sword at Mo Yidong, before the Sword Qi River was even unleashed, Mo Yidong's mind already warned him, quickly shouting, "Stop, no need to fight further, you've already passed!"

"I've only delivered one move, and I didn't even use my full strength, and I've already passed?"

Ye Qingzhou was full of confusion.

Is the Master-level advancement assessment really this easy?

Mo Yidong was so angry he wanted to spit blood. What's going on with the young people today?

They deceived even an old comrade like him close to retirement, truly ungrateful!

His face was quite unsightly: "Didn't you say you came to participate in the Master Level progression assessment? Why did that sword just now contain Thunder Sound Sword Fiend?"
