“I’ll remember that, Hua Yunzong Mu Ying.”
Lin Fan glared at Mu Ying on the ground, then looked at Huang Yuanbai: "What other procedures are there?"
"That's all. Congratulations on joining the Huayun Sect. I will apply to the sect leader to have you replace Mu Ying as an elder."
"Mu Ying, this old man, is still overestimating himself. He should retire."
Huang Yuanbai spoke with utmost respect, his admiration for Lin Fan's strength growing ever stronger.
Lin Fan defeated Mu Ying, who was at the ninth level of Body Refinement, with the simplest and most unadorned slap. How terrifying would he be if he got serious?
Lin Fan waved his hand and refused, saying, "I don't need any elder position, and don't tell anyone about what happened today."
He then pointed to Mu Ying on the ground: "This old guy fainted because of low blood sugar."
It's better to avoid trouble than to cause more problems. Lin Fan didn't want to create any more problems, and he didn't need these people to acknowledge his strength.
"Understood! I'll take you to test your rank."
Huang Yuanbai dared not presume to guess Lin Fan's intentions, and he was even less concerned about the origin of the matter of becoming a live-in son-in-law.
His values are based on the supremacy of martial prowess, and that whatever the powerful say is right.
"go!"
Huang Yuanbai gestured for Lin Fan to go into the inner room.
Lin Fan strode after him.
He was also curious about the Huayun Sect's method of testing martial arts cultivation levels.
In the Nine Netherworlds, the Spirit Testing Stele is used to test a person's martial arts cultivation level. The Spirit Testing Stele is made of high-density spirit stone, and its color changes can reveal the level of the person being tested.
In this world, most martial artists haven't activated their spiritual energy, so how is the level of body refinement tested?
Lin Fan followed Huang Yuanbai into the inner room of the same room, still wondering about what was going on.
As soon as I entered the room, I saw the boxing force gauge.
By striking a smart sandbag, sensors detect the force applied, which is then displayed on a screen to determine the practitioner's skill level.
"That's it?"
Lin Fan was somewhat disappointed, but it was not unexpected; how could there be such a thing as a Spirit Testing Tablet in the real world?
Huang Yuanbo began by explaining, "You hit the sandbag, and the value displayed on the screen is your martial arts level."
"200 kilograms is the first stage of body refinement. After that, for every additional 50 kilograms, the stage will advance by one level."
"Up to 450 kilograms, you reach the sixth stage of body refinement. Above the sixth stage, every additional 150 kilograms advances you to the next stage."
"When a punch can strike with the force of a thousand pounds, that is when one has reached the realm of transcendence."
After Huang Yuanbo finished his introduction, he said, "Please take the test!"
To avoid trouble, Lin Fan lightly touched the sandbag with minimal force.
Huang Yuanbo looked at the monitor excitedly, but after a moment he saw that it showed 2 kilograms.
"What do you mean by this—" Huang Yuanbai asked, looking completely bewildered.
"That's it, this thing is pointless."
Lin Fan shook his head helplessly, looking at the maximum limit of the force gauge, which was 9999.
If they really smash it to pieces, they'd have to spend their own money to buy another one.
“If it’s less than 200 kilograms… you won’t pass the test,” Huang Yuanbai murmured.
Lin Fan was somewhat speechless: "Just give me a level 1 Body Refinement skill. I'll slowly improve it within the sect and try to reach level 2 as soon as possible."
Huang Yuanbo waved his hands repeatedly:
"Please don't make things difficult for me. We no longer accept martial artists who have reached the first stage of Body Refinement."
"Some children who want to join a sect will first go to the martial arts hall to train for eight or ten years."
"You will only join a sect after you have at least the strength of the third stage of body refinement."
"..."
"Stop! Stop talking!"
Lin Fan grew impatient and suddenly swung his right fist, striking the sandbag.
With a loud bang, the sandbag exploded instantly, sending sponges flying all over the room.
The numbers on the monitor increased rapidly, then paused for a second after reaching 9999.
Immediately afterwards, the screen dimmed and went out, and a wisp of gray smoke rose from the back of the computer case, accompanied by the smell of burning rubber.
Huang Yuanbo stared at the instrument with his mouth agape in disbelief.
What rank is this?
"You'll learn the third stage of Body Refinement, and you must keep today's events a secret!"
Lin Fan's face was as cold as ice. He raised his hand and patted Huang Yuanbai's shoulder: "If this gets out, you and the Huayun Sect will disappear from the world."
"Don't worry, I'll keep my mouth shut!"
Huang Yuanbai's heart tightened; he had no doubt that Lin Fan possessed such strength.
He then said respectfully, "There is only one last step before you become a member of the Huayun Sect. Please follow me."
Lin Fan frowned. Why were the steps so long and time-consuming?
Before long, Huang Yuanbai summoned Lin Fan to the main hall of Tingyun Manor.
A group of people were gathered in the hall, including the nine people who had taken the first round of tests, Ren Siyao, and a group of Huayun Sect disciples.
A portrait hangs on the wall in the center of the hall, and various offerings are placed on the tea table below the portrait.
A man dressed in ceremonial robes stood nearby.
"This is Fang Yixiao, the founder of modern martial arts training."
"Master Fang pioneered modern martial arts cultivation based on ancient Qigong, and his students are all over the world. There are disciples of Master Fang throughout China and even the world."
"Master Fang's disciples are all famous far and wide, and the sect leaders of the four major sects in Shancheng City are also Master Fang's disciples and grand-disciples."
The priest continued to explain to Lin Fan:
"The final step of the initiation ceremony is to bow to Elder Fang!"
Lin Fan nodded slightly as he looked at Fang Yixiao's portrait. He and Fang Yixiao were friends, so he might as well bow.
Just as Lin Fan was about to bow, his phone rang at an inopportune moment.
The ringing of the bell woke the drowsy crowd.
Participating in the newcomer's initiation ceremony was already quite tedious. Apart from Ren Siyao being excited and a few people who had witnessed Lin Fan's strength being apprehensive, everyone else couldn't wait for it to end.
Lin Fan took out his phone and saw that it was Fang Yixiao calling.
Fate is a wonderful thing.
Lin Fan answered the call in front of everyone, and after talking for 30 seconds, he quickly hung up.
This is the first time I've ever received a phone call during an initiation ceremony.
"You've gone too far!" the priest roared.
Lin Fan smiled and said politely, "I'm really sorry about earlier, it was Fang Yixiao who called."
"He invited me to attend the opening ceremony of Lingyun Martial Arts Hall."
Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned, not understanding what Lin Fan meant.
Could this person be a master?
Huang Yuanbai was shocked. No wonder Lin Fan was so talented; it turned out he was an old acquaintance of Master Fang!
The atmosphere was awkward for a few seconds.
The priest suddenly flew into a rage: "How dare you! You dare to address our ancestral master by his name and even make fun of him!"
"If you spout any more nonsense, you'll be kicked out of the Huayun Sect immediately!"
Huang Yuanbai was startled and quickly stepped forward to persuade, "Never mind, ignorance is no excuse. Let's continue the ceremony!"
The priest was curious that Huang Yuanbai would speak up for Lin Fan, but he couldn't embarrass the elder in public, so he had to suppress his anger.
After a short while, the priest calmed down and took out a piece of paper from his pocket.
The moment the priest saw the contents, his brows furrowed instantly.
He glanced at Lin Fan curiously, then looked down at the contents of the paper: "Lin Fan, Body Refinement Stage 3?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a voice of doubt arose from the crowd:
"I thought he was some kind of expert! Just showing off at the third level of Body Refinement?"
