Chapter 11: 11. Reaction Speed
"Old Jiang seems pretty confident" Chief
instructor 'Wu Tong' said while laughing,
but his gaze landed upon Han Sen.
Everyone at the scene was watching Han Sen and awaiting his test results.
Han Sen stood in front of the machine
and released an explosive power from his
waist. His body turned slightly and
increased the power from his waist even
more. In an instant, all the power
transferred to his arm. Han Sen's fist was
like an arrow fired from a bow under the
full moon, leaving behind a blur. With a
"PENG" sound, his fist smacked against the
machine.
After he threw his punch, Han Sen was
delighted: "It felt so good throwing that
punch, all the power went with it". He
looked at the display and saw
--"1101kg"
"Good"
"Not bad" Many fighters at the scene immediately complimented him.
Chief Instructor 'Wu Tong' rubbed his chin
and nodded: "Not bad young man. Make
sure to never lose your center 'shi' when
throwing your punch. If someone ignores
everything and only wants higher results
for fist strength, he will lose his center
'shi'. The punch might be stronger.
However, against monsters, losing your
center 'shi' is suicide! Not bad, not bad"
"Haha, this kid Han Sen has great combat
abilities" Instructor 'Jiang Nian' laughed,
"He easily beat three elite members who
had around his level of strength and
speed!"
Han Sen was delighted after hearing the
instructor and chief instructor's
compliments.
He had a coma twice when he was
younger, which led to increased strength
and speed. Ever since then, he made a plan
to become the best fighter! A really good
fighter needs great combat abilities. In his teenage days, even though he hasn't joined
the Dojo of Limits then, he looked up some
basics of martial arts and trained alone at
home to pile up the experience.
This is why his combat abilities are so
great.
"A nice bean sprout. Yup, pass!" Chief
instructor Wu Tong randomly picked
another ID and scanned it, "Next, Bai
Yang".
Han Sen walked back to the place where
examinees were supposed to stay.
"Not bad, crazy" Yang Wu laughed.
Han Sen grinned.
...
All eight of them quickly finished the
'strength test' and only one failed and was
disqualified as a result. His fist strength
was only 892 kg, which was close. So for
the next test, the speed test, there were
only seven people left.[KA!] Chief instructor Wu Tong walked towards the speed tester and turned on the switch.
"One by one, in reverse order. First, Yang
Wu" Chief instructor Wu Tong
commanded. Yang Wu was the last one to
test his strength so he will be the first to
test his speed.
Yang Wu took a deep breath.
He took the Prospective Fighter exam
nearly 10 times and failed on the speed
test every time.
"Brother Yang, you can do it" Han Sen
patted Yang Wu's shoulder.
"Watch me" Yang Wu adjusted his
breathing and ran on the track.
Instructor Jiang Nian frowned watching
this. Yang Wu was also from the Zhi-An
section, but he has failed the 'speed test'
so many times already.
[DASH!]
Yang Wu stepped on the surface of the floor and made a low sound. With the
strength of his arms and his explosive
start, he quickly accelerated to his
maximum speed. His veins were popping
on his scarred face and he sprinted while
clenching his teeth. He even let out a low
howl after finishing the test.
"I must pass this!" Yang Wu stopped and
howled in his heart.
He turned his head and saw Han Sen give
him a thumbs up. After seeing it. Yang Wu
felt like he went to heaven.
"Haha, Yang Wu, nice luck. You actually
passed" Instructor 'Jiang Nian' also let out
a refreshed laugh.
Yang Wu ran over and looked at the
display--'25.1m/s'��
"Phew, so close" Even Yang Wu laughed. If
his body condition was slightly worse, he
might've not achieved 25 m/s. If so, then
he would've failed once again."Yup, pass!" Chief instructor Wu Tong also
smiled, "Next"
Everyone did the tests one by one. Since
Han Sen was the second person to take
the strength test, he was the second last to
take the speed test.
It was Han Sen's turn soon enough.
"Han Sen" Chief instructor Wu Tong
hollered.
"Do your best, crazy. We better take the
Fighter Combat exam together" Yang Wu
encouraged and Han Sen smiled and
nodded. He walked onto the track and
adjusted his breathing pattern. He lightly
jumped twice in place. Han Sen was unlike
Yang Wu, who was a brute-force type; he
gave off a relaxing feeling.
[WHOOSH!]
Right when he exerted his strength, Han Sen was like a panther whose speed had
no match. He brought a strong current of
wind with him as he passed through the speed testing region. You could tell with
just your eyes that Han Sen's speed was
significantly higher than those before him.
"I felt like that was okay" Han Sen turned
his head and saw Yang Wu giving him a
thumbs up. Even chief instructor Wu Tong
and instructor Jiang Nian couldn't help but
to nod their heads in praise.
Han Sen walked over and looked at the
display--
"28.6m/s"
"Nice speed, it's actually so much higher
than the passing mark" Chief Instructor
Wu Tong laughed and nodded, "Last, Tong
Guan".
������������
After the strength test, one person was
eliminated. During the speed test, two
people were eliminated. Now there were
only five people left. The third test is the
'Reaction Speed exam'.
"Follow me" Chief Instructor Wu Tong brought the group of fighters and the five
people remaining from the previous
exams. They arrived at the 'reaction speed
testing room' connected to the training
hall.
The room was around a hundred ping.
Of course, compared to the gigantic
training halls that were a couple thousand
ping large, these reaction speed rooms
were clearly much smaller. There was only
a large, seemingly valuable machine placed
on the floor. In front of the machine was
something that looked like a six barreled
gatling gun. However, there were easily a
couple dozen holes in the machine, so it
had way more firing sites than a gatling
gun.
"First, Tong Guan" Chief instructor Wu
Tong instructed.
The full bearded man immediately stepped
in front of the gun. He was on a circle that
had a diameter of 3.6 meters.
[CLATTER!] The switch was turned on��
A red light started to emit above the
border of the circle. It was like that the
fighter inside was surrounded by a red
curtain.
"Remember, no matter what, do not leave
the circle. Once you leave it, it counts as a
failure. If your body comes in contact with
the red light, you lose points" After chief
instructor Wu Tong finished saying that,
he walked to the reaction speed tester and
pressed a bunch of buttons and adjusted
the power. There were many different
power levels.
The lowest one is meant for intermediate
members.And the highest one.... is meant for top fighters.
"Begin!" The chief instructor pressed a red
button.
[BEEP~~~BEEP~~~]The machine's gigantic
cannon started revolving and all of the dozen barrels started emitting a red light.
There were quick ones and slow ones and
even the trajectory wasn't stable. It was
very chaotic and messy. It then started to
rapidly shoot within the circle.
The bearded man stared in front of him
and was continuously dodging right and
left and between the red colored bullets.
[PU! PU!] Two consecutive hits��
However, these 'bullets' are like rubber
and have no power and speed, so they
don't hurt.
.
Time passed by slowly.
The bearded man was trying his best to
dodge and the timer was reaching a
minute.
[TOOT~~~] After chief instructor Wu Tong
pressed the button, the barrels quickly
came to a halt. The middle display screen
showed a large amount of information.
"Within 60 seconds, 57 hits, and three contacts with the red light. Disqualified!"
Chief instructor Wu Tong said as he threw
the bearded man's ID back to him.
"Just barely missed the mark" The bearded
man clenched his teeth and walked out of
the circle as he shaked his head.
"Next, Han Sen" Chief instructor Wu Tong
commanded.
After bumping fists with Yang Wu, Luo
Feng walked into the circle.
As Han Sen stood in the circle and faced
the machine's cannon, he took a deep
breath. Before he entered the dojo, he
constantly practiced at home. Han Sen
shines the most in these kinds of dodging
exams: "Before high school exams, I get hit
around 50-55 times in 60 seconds. Now
that my body fitness level has increased,
with my increased reaction time, passing
this exam is no problem at all"
"Remember, do not leave the circle no
matter what. If you leave the circle, you
instantly fail. If you come in contact with
the circle's red light, you lose points" After chief instructor Wu Tong said that, he
pressed the red button.
[BEEP~~~BEEP~~~]
The barrel of the reaction speed tester
started revolving rapidly. The cannon's
dozens of barrels all started to emit a red
light and soon shot out the rubber bullets
rapidly.
"Hm?" Han Sen stared ahead and rapidly
calculated the positions in his head. As if
he was a dextrous cat, he continuously
dodged left and right and dodged the
bullets one by one. Of course, some of the
bullets were too fast to dodge, so he could
only get hit.
When Han Sen was dodging, many of the
fighters started to talk.
"This kid isn't bad, his reaction speed is
superb"
"Indeed, he is fast and has a good
foundation and form. Look, his feet are like
a cat's pads, he never loses his balance
after each turn, which allows him to rapidly change direction. This form..... if he
isn't a genius or hasn't worked bitterly for
ten years, then there's no way he would be
able to have this kind of a solid
foundation"
All of the fighters at the scene were
amazed.
A fighter's fitness level could be trained.
But form and skill all rely on experience. A
higher body fitness level doesn't
correspond to better form.
[TOOT~~~] After pressing the button, the
machine's cannon started slowing down
and a large amount of data was displayed.
"Within 60 seconds, 28 hits, 0 contacts
with the red light. Excellent!" Chief
Instructor Wu Tong let out a smile, "Not
bad, Han Sen. I congratulate you. After
the official documents arrive and your
data gets recorded, you'll become a
prospective fighter!" After the exam, an
official certificate will be issued and your
records are sent to the citizenship
information agency within seven days.Luo Feng tightly clenched his right fist: "I
finally succeeded!"
I finally became a prospective fighter!
"Han Sen, August 1st marks the date of the
Fighter Combat exam. Arrive at the Limit
Hall at dawn. Under the guidance of an
instructor, you will go with other
prospective fighters to hunt monsters
outside the human bases! After you pass
that exam, you'll become a real fighter"
Instructor 'Jiang Nian' smiled as he said
that.
