C119 Accept the Test!(3)

Under normal circumstances, these examiners would remain unseen, leaving others with no opportunity to interact with them. This measure likely served to prevent any instances of cheating. Chu Yi surveyed the three individuals, noting their middle-aged appearance and lack of distinguishing features. Yet something about them caught his attention—their strength. Indeed, each examiner was formidable, with the least of them being at the Gold Elementary level. The apparent leader had even attained the mid-tier of the Gold rank.

Despite Chu Yi's experience in defeating a Gold High Order warrior and encountering a War God, a Gold General was considered a true force to be reckoned with in Redmarsh City, a figure of real significance. Such individuals, upon joining the military, would start at no less than a Brigadier General rank. A Gold General in the army was synonymous with a Brigadier General.

The lead examiner gave the boss a cursory nod, "Hello, Observer 141."

"We're here to conduct the assessment as you've requested."

His expression remained impassive.

Turning to Chu Yi, he inquired, "He's the one to be assessed, correct?"

The boss glanced at Chu Yi, who then stepped forward. "Greetings, examiners. I am ready for the assessment."

He nodded slightly.

"Have you informed him about the process?" the examiner asked.

The boss replied with a beaming smile, "Indeed, I have."

"Well then, let's not delay any further. Let's get started..."

With that, he made his way into the Old Black Bull Martial Arts Stadium. The first part of the assessment, which took place here, was a test that everyone was expected to pass. Although it might seem trivial, adherence to the rules was essential.

The initial test was a straightforward measurement of basic data, which would serve as a benchmark for subsequent evaluations should Chu Yi join the Stellar Knightage. Approaching the test instrument, Chu Yi threw a casual punch.

9987 kg.

The boss took a second look at Chu Yi, impressed. Just yesterday, Chu Yi's strength was recorded at 9985 kg. Had he truly gained 2 kg of power overnight?

If Chu Yi weren't at a critical juncture of his breakthrough, adding 20 kg in a single day wouldn't be considered excessive.

But Chu Yi was facing the barrier head-on!

In his boss's eyes, it was impressive enough for Chu Yi to gain 1 kg over the course of ten days or even half a month, but now...

"9987 kg, tester Chu Yi has achieved Perfect Silver."

After logging the information on the handheld terminal, they approached the next piece of equipment.

It was a speed testing device. Chu Yi had seen it before but had never actually used it.

"These are the fundamental physical fitness tests."

"The standard speed for Silver is 50m/s, but to join our Stellar Knightage, you can't just meet the standard."

"Our Knightage's benchmark is triple the normal rate, which means..."

"150m/s!"

150m/s...

Such a velocity was indeed formidable, far exceeding the speed of sound.

Even those at Silver Perfection known for their speed couldn't hope to reach such velocities. But this test wasn't for the average person.

Only the most exceptional prodigies, true marvels, were eligible to take the Stellar Knightage assessment.

So, achieving such a result wasn't considered outlandish.

Chu Yi stepped onto the device, which activated instantly.

The baseline was 50m/s, and any additional speed would require him to run for it.

Much like a treadmill, the device would match whatever pace you set.

The speed of 50 was reached in no time, a pace that Chu Yi found trivial. He could easily achieve it without even tapping into his attribute power.

Once accustomed to the speed of 50, Chu Yi began to pick up the pace.

Using these machines for the first time, he needed to get a feel for them.

The speed surged dramatically!

He went from 50 to 100 in a blink.

At 100, Chu Yi was still at ease.

Though he hadn't measured his speed precisely, the subtle refinement from his Stellar Combat Body made him formidable in every respect.

100 was certainly not his limit.

In the next instant, Chu Yi's speed surged once more.

This time, the speed shot up to an impressive 150m/s!

This is the benchmark for the assessment, but it doesn't mean you're expected to maintain a speed of 150m/s. It simply indicates that your peak instantaneous speed can reach this level.

Typically, only the top-tier geniuses or freakishly talented individuals can achieve this, but for many of them, it's just the upper limit of their burst speed.

Usually, their sustained average speed hovers around 120-130m/s. Pushing beyond that makes it difficult to maintain their form.

Yet, even at a speed of 150m/s, Chu Yi remained unfazed!

Clearly, this was nowhere near Chu Yi's limit.

For the first time, the examiner looked at Chu Yi with a serious gaze, a trace of satisfaction flickering in his eyes.

The boss, on the other hand, was somewhat astonished. He had assumed that Chu Yi's physical capabilities wouldn't have been fully optimized over just two months, but clearly, Chu Yi was not someone to be underestimated.

"Candidate Chu Yi, you've passed," the examiner announced, a rare smile gracing his face.

"Quite an impressive performance."

While 150m/s is merely the basic threshold for the assessment, failing to reach it means disqualification. However, the assessment is nuanced, with different levels of achievement.

Chu Yi, for instance, was clearly holding back, capable of pushing his limits even further.

Hence, Chu Yi's speed was exceptionally noteworthy.

"So, do you plan to continue?" the examiner inquired.

Continuing would mean his results would be officially recorded.

Good results could lead to better treatment once admitted into the Stellar Knightage, a fact the boss had made clear to Chu Yi beforehand.

Following the boss's advice, there was no need for Chu Yi to continue with the assessment. After passing the initial Stellar Knightage assessment, the Knightage would periodically send an examiner for stage-by-stage evaluations.

For instance, they would conduct an assessment one month after Chu Yi's breakthrough.

These periodic assessments, though less challenging than the initial one, could still result in failure if one hadn't mastered their abilities or improved quickly enough.

Therefore, during the first assessment, it's common practice to aim for just enough to pass.

Joining the Stellar Knightage might not come with the best perks, but just being able to be a part of it would suffice!

Chu Yi remained silent, simply beginning to gradually increase his speed.

His determination was clear—he was committed to continuing the assessment!

Indeed, Chu Yi was intent on elevating his performance.

As for future tests...

Were they even a concern?

Actually, Chu Yi was eager to use this opportunity to gauge his own abilities!

Naturally, he wouldn't rely on any attribute powers during the test. He wouldn't unleash his Stellar Combat Body or harness the power of his primordial spirit.

This was, in essence, Chu Yi at his most fundamental level.

Chu Yi was aware that he stood apart from the rest.

Each owner of a Stellar Combat Body was unique. Even without manifesting their combat bodies, the mere presence of their foundational combat essence would subtly transform their physiques, endowing them with strength that far surpassed their peers who lacked such an advantage.

Chu Yi's speed was increasing rapidly, and he was on the verge of hitting 180!

This velocity was unattainable even for some of the top-tier prodigies and freakishly talented individuals known for their speed!

It's worth noting that after numerous trials, the Stellar Knightage had established 150 as the most appropriate benchmark for speed.

This figure essentially represented the maximum velocity for the majority of elite geniuses and exceptional talents.

Of course, there were those prodigies and extraordinary beings who excelled in speed and could surpass this threshold.

Yet, even for them, the increase in their speed limit would not be significant.
