Gao Wu: I grow stronger with each death.

Chapter 34 Preparations for the Journey to the Rift

Fortunately, Coach Fang's next explanation dispelled Wang Sheng's doubts:

"However, you are at the initial stage of the Bronze Bone Realm, and the color change is difficult to see with the naked eye. Therefore, during the measurement, the instrument mainly detects the life-level transformation aura on the bones."

"Oh, I understand."

Wang Sheng quickly entered the instrument.

After a lengthy scanning and testing process by the machine, the results came out.

Coach Fang held the report, a hint of doubt on his face.

Wang Sheng's heart skipped a beat:

"What's wrong, Coach Fang? Is there a problem with the results?"

"No, well, I wouldn't say it never happens, but... I've never seen anything like it before."

As Coach Fang spoke, he showed Wang Sheng the incomprehensible data on the report:

"The test data results in this section all end with 002, but yours is 001. I've never seen this before. There might be a problem with the machine... Never mind, it's not important. According to other data, you have undoubtedly tempered your bones to bronze and are a true level one martial artist!"

After Coach Fang finished speaking, he put the report away:

"Your assessment data will be entered into your personal file, and your Level 1 Martial Artist Certificate will be delivered from the Martial Arts Association tomorrow morning. Remember to come to the martial arts gym to pick it up after 9:00 AM tomorrow."

Coach Fang patted Wang Sheng on the shoulder with an appreciative look in his eyes, as if he wished Wang Sheng were his own student.

"Okay, thank you, Coach Fang."

Wang Sheng nodded, but didn't respond much to the opposing coach's enthusiasm; he was still thinking about the abnormal data from earlier.

I don't know if that data anomaly will have any impact.

Furthermore, neither the Golden Bone Realm nor his own cultivation techniques and combat skills seem to have a reasonable explanation in front of others.

"But once we enter the rift, we can disguise it as some kind of secret realm opportunity, right?"

As he was thinking, another idea suddenly came to him.

"Quiet Senior".

He called out to Wenjing, who had witnessed the whole thing.

"There's something I've always wanted to ask you: have you cultivated some kind of method to conceal your vital energy?"

Wenjing nodded upon hearing this:

"Yes, I used my credits at school to exchange for a set of the 'Qi Concealing Technique,' which can conceal my Qi and blood, making me look no different from an ordinary person. It's mainly used to hide my identity when doing academy missions, and I'm used to practicing it often on weekdays."

Upon hearing this, Wang Sheng was overjoyed and asked:

"Can you sell me this cultivation technique? I'm willing to pay."

"Um?"

Wenjing was taken aback, somewhat confused as to why Wang Sheng would do such a thing.

Children of this age, especially competitive boys, would have already shown off their talents by going out and showing them off. Why would they deliberately hide their vitality?

She looked into Wang Sheng's eyes.

Sincere and kind, as pure as the Milky Way, without even the slightest hint of complacency after passing the test.

What a wonderful boy.

For some reason, Wenjing's heart started beating faster.

After a moment, she snapped out of her daze and took out her phone:

"Sure, add me on WeChat and I'll send you the electronic version when I get back. No need for money; I'm your senior, it's only right that I give my junior a small gift."

Wang Sheng was delighted upon hearing this:

"Thank you, senior."

After exchanging contact information, Wang Sheng bid farewell to Wen Jing and left the martial arts school.

Cheng Qiushui, who had just completed the Level 2 Martial Artist assessment, skipped and hopped straight towards Wen Jing:

"Senior, I passed the exam! And let me tell you, that idiot Zeng Fan almost passed, but he insisted he didn't perform well, hahaha, he wasted all that exam fee... Hey, senior, where's your junior? Did he leave after the exam?"

"Okay, let's go. Let's both go too."

"Aren't we waiting for Zeng Fan?"

"he?"

Wenjing made no attempt to hide the disgust in her eyes:

"Don't associate with people like that in the future, or I won't talk to you anymore."

"Huh? Okay, okay, it's only right that senior is angry because that bad guy mocked Xiao Wang Sheng behind his back! You two are such a perfect match, Zeng Fan is just jealous!"

The two talked as they walked outside.

Hearing Cheng Qiushui's words, Wenjing shook her head helplessly:

"There's no such thing as a perfect match. Wang Sheng is only in his third year of junior high school, but his skill level is already comparable to the advanced stage of the Bronze Bone technique. He will definitely have no problem getting into a good martial arts university in the future. I am not good enough for him."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Qiushui was taken aback.

The next second:

"What?! Wang Sheng is only in his third year of junior high?!"

......

A few minutes later, Zeng Fan searched the assessment area but couldn't find the two women who had come with him. He then realized that the two women had most likely already left.

"Tch, two snobbish women. I only failed one assessment, and they're already running away? What's so special about that Wang Sheng guy? He's just good-looking!"

Zeng Fan was cursing and preparing to leave when he suddenly saw Coach Fang still on the field.

So he grinned and stepped forward, teasingly saying:

"Coach, you said someone like Wang Sheng is a genius, so do you think I have the potential to be one?"

To everyone's surprise, Coach Fang's face darkened, and his three realms of qi and blood suddenly erupted:

"Wang Sheng entered the Bronze Bone realm at the age of fifteen and already displayed high-level strength. What the hell do you think you are, daring to call yourself a genius? Get lost!"

This imposing aura startled Zeng Fan so much that he took several steps back.

"W-what...he's only 15? Then he's...a junior high student?"

Zeng Fan then remembered that Wenjing, the senior student, seemed to have been invited to her junior high school last Friday to give a lecture on supernatural abilities...

15 years old, entered the early stage of the Bronze Bone realm, possessing strength approaching that of an advanced level...

What the hell is this if not genius?!

No wonder Wenjing was like that back then...

Damn, I've just humiliated myself!

Zeng Fan wished he could disappear into a crack in the ground! His face flushed red and then turned pale, and he slunk away from the martial arts school.

......

Wang Sheng had no idea what had happened after he left.

For him, there are still more important things to do.

"I'll go straight to the rift tomorrow after I get the certificate. Before that, I need to go back and explain to my parents, and I'll have to come up with a good explanation."

After all, I'll be away for many days, not going home or to school, so my parents will definitely worry.

"But what excuse should I use...? I've got it?"

He immediately called Wenjing.

"Senior, can I do you a favor?"

Wang Sheng quickly explained the situation, which was nothing more than helping to hide it from his parents and lying to them that he was going with Wen Jing for special training.

Wenjing readily agreed:

"Okay. But you must tell me exactly where you're going, otherwise if something happens to you, I'll be the one primarily responsible, and I won't be able to clear my name no matter what."

Wang Sheng then made no attempt to conceal the truth:

"There's a Class 1F fissure near Lushui County, and I'd like to go inside and take a look."

Given Wang Sheng's strength, a 1F-level rift is naturally not considered dangerous, and Wen Jing shouldn't object too much.

After a moment of silence, Wenjing said:

"Okay, I can help you with this, but... have you found teammates yet?"
