Chapter 11: Honorable Martial Master

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Zhang Hong was preparing to leave with his grandson, Zhang Wu.

When he heard the voice of the tester behind him, he turned his head in confusion, wondering if he had heard wrong.

Zhang Wu also turned around and immediately saw the number displayed on the monitoring device next to the testing stone in front of Lu Yu. 64,040 kilograms!

“Testing officer, isn’t the testing equipment wrong? Why did you call him a Martial Master?” Zhang Hong asked doubtfully.

The tester, however, glared at him and scolded, “How dare you! There’s nothing wrong with the equipment. Don’t be rude to the Honorable Martial Master.”

“What? There’s nothing wrong with the testing equipment?”

Zhang Hong immediately felt his whole world collapse.

He and Lu Yu were old acquaintances. They had trained together, participated in the Holy War together, and had known each other for decades.

Their skills evolution levels were about the same.

Zhang Hong honestly thought that Lu Yu might fall from the Martial Arts Warrior realm and become an ordinary person.

Even if he was lucky and put in a lot of effort, he would only be able to barely maintain the level of Martial Arts Warrior Grade 1 for another year.

However, the results of the test was actually not Martial Arts Warrior Grade 1, nor was it Intermediate or Advanced Martial Arts Warrior.

It wasn’t even a Junior Martial Master, but an Intermediate Martial Master!

......

Breaking the 20,000 kilograms mark with one punch meant that one had reached the level of a Junior Martial Master.

A punch of 40,000 kilograms meant one had already reached the skills evolution of an Intermediate Martial Master.

Now that Lu Yu had punched out 60,000 kilograms, he was well within the level of an Intermediate Martial Master and was even close to an Advanced Martial Master!

Compared to ordinary people, Martial Arts Warrior already received better treatment. They could legitimately become a member of the Federation.

Thus, a Martial Master would be elevated to a fairly good social status.

The most direct observable benefit was that the federal government’s subsidies were vastly different.

Currently, Zhang Hong, as a Grade 1 Martial Arts Warrior, could receive a monthly allowance of 5,000 federation coins.

5,000 federation coins was similar to the monthly income of a hardworking ordinary person. A Grade 1 Martial Arts Warrior could receive this without doing anything.

However, 5,000 federal coins was only enough for the family’s daily expenses.

Once one reached the level of an Intermediate Martial Master, the monthly allowance would be increased to 30,000 federal coins.

Without doing anything for a month, his monthly income was already considered high.

Besides, Intermediate Martial Masters could obtain a decent job no matter where they went.

It was more than enough for a family to live a comfortable life!

However, there was still a difference between Martial Arts Warrior and Martial Masters. The most important thing was lifespan.

Zhang Hong, a Grade 1 Martial Arts Warrior, was 90 years old this year. At most, he could live to a hundred years old. He would have to face old age, illness and death.

As for the Intermediate Martial Master Lu Yu, he was also 90 years old this year, but he was considered to be in his prime. If nothing unexpected happened, he could easily live another 100 years.

At this time, Zhang Hong’s face was filled with shock. He had never thought that his old classmate Lu Yu would be able to break through to the Martial Master level at this age.

Immediately afterwards, inwardly Zhang Hong regretted terribly what he had just said.

If Lu Yu was still a Grade 1 Martial Arts Warrior or an ordinary person, he naturally wouldn’t be able to do anything to him.

But now that Lu Yu had already become a Martial Master, he could easily cause trouble for him.

If he hadn’t said those words just now, not only would he not have offended Lu Yu, he would also be able to ask Lu Yu for help to protect them for a while, based on their friendship of a few decades.

However, all these were impossible now.

Zhang Wu was also looking at Lu Yu with an envious expression.

Zhang Wu was only a Martial Arts Warrior and he already knew the great strength of a Martial Arts Warrior. This strength was incomparably powerful.

However, the best coach in their school was only a Junior Martial Master, whereas Lu Yu, before his eyes, was already an Intermediate Martial Master.

If he had such a grandfather, his skills evolution path would be extremely smooth. He would be able to obtain a lot of resources to train and develop his abilities.

Unlike now, he could only rely on himself to train and develop with all his might.

At this moment, the tester had already changed Lu Yu’s identity badge from a Grade 1 Martial Arts Warrior to a Grade 7 Martial Master.

“Honored Martial Master, this is your monthly subsidy from the federal government. Please keep it safe. In the future, every month’s subsidy will be automatically transferred to your bank card.” The tester handed over 30,000 federal coins to Lu Yu.

“Hmm.” Lu Yu accepted it calmly, but inwardly he was actually quite happy.

These 30,000 federal coins had no doubt solved the most pressing problem for him.

Not only could he pay for his daughter’s school fees, he also did not need his wife to take up another job.

Besides that, he could also buy some more precious ingredients with this money, which would allow him to increase his strength faster.

In this world, strength was everything.

The Martial Arts was top priority. Everything else was secondary and must stand aside.

In today’s test, Lu Yu had personally experienced the benefits of strength.

After completing the test and learning that he was a Martial Master, the testers and the other staff members all had a change of attitude and became very respectful to him.

This was only for the Martial Masters rank. Above the Martial Masters, there were Great Martial Masters, Grand Masters, and Great Grand Masters, etc.

With each jump of a big rank, the difference in strength was immeasurably big, as vast as heaven and earth. The treatment he would receive from the federal government was also vastly different.

Lu Yu couldn’t help but look forward to the great changes his life would bring him after his strength rose again.

At this point, after completing the basic procedures, the tester returned to Lu Yu and said respectfully:

“Honorable Martial Master, there’s one more thing I need to inform you. Please give me your permission. It is a requirement to upload the test videos of the Martial Masters and those above Martial Masters to the dojo above. This is to prevent cheating.”

“That’s fine.” Lu Yu himself genuinely possessed the ability and he wasn’t cheating. There was no need for him to feel the slightest bit guilty.

After completing everything, Lu Yu left the stadium.

When he arrived at where Zhang Hong was standing, Zhang Hong was no longer as arrogant as before. Both he and his grandson, Zhang Wu, had their heads lowered, not daring to look at Lu Yu.

In fact, their legs were even trembling slightly, as if they were afraid that Lu Yu would cause them trouble.

At this moment, the two of them were like Lu Yu’s grandchildren, weak, pitiful and helpless.

Lu Yu naturally didn’t hold it against them, so he simply said casually, “If you have nothing else to do, train and develop yourself well. You’re already so old.”

With that, Lu Yu left without another look.

Behind him, Zhang Hong and Zhang Wu nodded repeatedly. “Yes, yes, yes. Honorable Martial Master’s advice is right!”

Meanwhile, the video of Lu Yu’s test was uploaded along with the videos of other Martial Masters and experts above this level.

The first judge was a director. When he saw the video of Lu Yu’s test, with a shocked expression, he couldn’t help exclaiming,

“He’s already so advanced in age yet he could be a Grade 7 Martial Master. How terrifying he must have been when he was young? No, this guy must be a big shot. I must go and ask him about him, get to know him and build up a good relationship with him!”

After the preliminary audit, they continued to upload to the next level.

The reviewer this time was the deputy dojo master.

The deputy dojo master was equally shocked when he saw the video. He was curious why he hadn’t heard of such an expert before. If he was a Grade 7 Martial Master at the grand old age of 90, surely he must have been an amazing important character. Then logically, he should have been acquainted with this person.

After the review, they continued to upload to the next level and it reached the final judgment panel.

The officer-in-charge of the final judgment was a military advisor in charge of the local military zone.

Currently, the federal government was controlled in equal measure by a military arm and a civilian arm.

The City Lord was in charge of the running of the city and the Military Lord was in charge of the armed forces. Both of them had advisors to assist them.

And this city was under the jurisdiction of the Gamma Military Zone, and the military advisor was the second-in-command of the Gamma Military Zone.

The military advisor had a great deal of authority. When he saw the video of Lu Yu’s test, he was equally bewildered. He had never heard of such a person before.

Thereafter, he searched for information about Lu Yu.

He joined the army at the age of 15 and participated in the Holy War at the age of 20. After surviving the war, he led a mediocre life and the highest level of skills evolution he had ever reached was Grade 9 Martial Arts Warrior.

However, he did not successfully cross into the realm of a Martial Master. In fact, his health vitality had regressed and his skills evolution levels downgraded. A year ago, he had fallen to the level of a Grade 1 Martial Arts Warrior.

Now however, a year later, at the grand old age of 90, his skills evolution had advanced instead of regressing. He actually reached the skills evolution level of a Grade 7 Martial Master.

Within the span of one year, his skills evolution had improved by 15 levels?

At this point, the military advisor frowned slightly.

“Men, invite this Lu Yu to come to our Federation’s main dojo to undergo another test!”
