My Super Pet Dragon

Next was the leg strength test, and from that test, results showed that Yang Tian’s legs could deliver 1600 kilograms of force.

Seeing these results, the onlooking Warriors were all very surprised. They never thought Yang Tian’s slender body could possibly hold that amount of power.

“He must be a Class Two Warrior! A Class One Warrior wouldn’t have such power.”

“I think so. I never thought there would be another Class Two Warrior in our Military Academy.”

“Class Two Warrior? That’s not a given. Other than strength, there’s still the agility, endurance, and reflexes test. Only the aggregate score will reflect his Class. Isn’t it a bit too early to be basing it purely on strength?”

“That’s true. A lot of people are strong, but their agility and reflexes may be slow.”

“...”

After Yang Tian had completed the first trial, there was a buzz of chatter all around him.

He was extremely surprised as well to hear that he had reached the strength rating of a Class Two Warrior. At that moment, he thought of the time when he was in the hospital and Drago made him swallow the Class Two Beast Core.

Next was the agility test.

The agility that was being tested was not running speed, but the speed of slashing a sword and the speed of throwing punches.

After animals were infected with the YS Virus and mutated, they grew in size, strength, and speed. Meanwhile, humanity did not show any obvious changes despite being infected with the YS Virus as well. There were minor increases in physical attributes, but compared to before the YS Virus, the human body did undergo some changes.

Most notably, the baseline human’s average strength and agility had risen by nearly 10% before the YS Virus. Average humans who gave all their strength could punch six to seven times per second, while a person who had undergone training could attain a punch rate of eight to nine. 3

The first test was of punching speed!

The measurement machine for this test was the same Strength Measurement Machine.

What differed was that this time power was not the focus. As long as one’s fist came into contact with the measurement rod that was enough.

“Ready... Begin!”

The Military Academy staff who was responsible for recording the results yelled.

Thud thud thud...

Yang Tian’s fists constantly struck at the measuring rod.

“Stop!”

The staff abruptly shouted.

Yang Tian stopped.

Soon, the display showed Yang Tian’s punching speed.

14.5 punches per second! 3

Yang Tian had been speed punching for ten seconds. In other words, within this ten second period, Yang Tian had thrown a total of 145 punches.

“Brother Zhao, how about these results?”

After stopping and looking at the score on the display, Yang Tian smiled and spoke to Zhao Wu.

Zhao Wu gave Yang Tian a thumbs up, “Very impressive! A normal Class One Warrior’s average speed is eleven to twelve punches per second. You reached a speed of 14.5, that’s already the results of a Class Two Warrior.”

“Hehe! That’s great!” Yang Tian chuckled as he scratched his head.

Zhao Wu continued, “Actually you could be faster, but you put too much strength into each punch. Furthermore, the measuring rod doesn’t provide any resistance which probably slowed down the speed in which you pull back your fists. I estimate you could gain an extra punch per second. At that speed, with a bit more training and refinement, you’d reach the upper limit speed of a Class Two Warrior.”

“What’s the fastest punching speed of a Class Two Warrior then?” Yang Tian asked curiously.

“For a Class Two Warrior, the fastest punching speed was 16 punches per second.” Zhao Wu answered.

Yang Tian’s punching speed once again drew the attention and of the onlooking Warriors. At that moment, a red-haired young man walked over. His hair color was extremely attention-grabbing, and Yang Tian recognized him immediately.

This was Xiao Fei who had helped Yang Tian in the past.

Xiao Fei walked over, and the surrounding Warriors all made a path for him automatically. It was obvious that Xiao Fei was of higher standing than all these other Warriors.

Yang Tian had already figured that Xiao Fei was a Class Three Warrior or higher. 3

Xiao Fei made a beeline for Yang Tian. He looked at Yang Tian’s results and smiled while nodding, “A Class Two Warrior’s punching speed. Not bad! Keep up the good work!”

Xiao Fei walked to one side and crossed his arms after he finished speaking, wanting to see Yang Tian’s trials.

The second agility trial was measuring one’s speed when using a sword.

The Military Academy staff carried over a blackboard made with a special material before handing Yang Tian a sword.

It was a Tang dao, and it was lighter than the YT alloy saber that Yang Tian used. Yang Tian weighed it in his hand and estimated that the blade weighed around six kilograms. 2

At that moment, one of the staff announced, “This is a special trial blade. It is exactly five point four kilograms in weight. During the trial, you’ll have five seconds to use your fastest speed to slash at this blackboard. Before you begin, you may give it a practice run.”

Yang Tian picked up the blade and made a few practice cuts, leaving multiple slash marks on the blackboard.

Based on the feel of it, Yang Tian felt that the hardness of the blackboard was no different from a wooden dummy.

“Alright! We can begin!”

After having a feel for the hardness of the blackboard, he spoke to the staff as he nodded.

The Military Academy staff peeled away at the layer of the blackboard that was full of sword marks, and the blackboard magically returned to its original luster.

“Ready... Begin!”

The staff shouted.

Yang Tian began to whirl the blade in his hand, constantly making cross-shaped cuts on the surface. Soon, five seconds were over.

The speed of using a sword was not comparable to punching speed. The results came out, and Yang Tian’s slashing speed was 12 per second.

...

“Impressive! The slashing speed of an elite Class Two Warrior! Yang Tian, have you ever trained in swordsmanship?” Zhao Wu asked in awe when he saw Yang Tian’s results.

Yang Tian nodded. “Yeah! Basic Combat Skill, Shadow Break.”

“No wonder!” Zhao Wu said in realization. “The training of Combat Skills is the only way to reach such speeds with a sword. A Class One Warrior’s speed is eight to ten slashes per second. A Class Two Warrior can achieve speeds of 11 to 12 slashes. Don’t look down on that one slash difference in speed. A lot of time must be spent in training in order to raise the speed by one slash.” 1

Yang Tian nodded.

At the end of the agility test, Yang Tian’s speed put him within the Class Two Warrior bracket. Furthermore, his sword speed had already reached the peak of Class Two Warriors.

Next up were the reflexes and endurance tests.

The reflex test was mainly based on one’s eyesight.

Yang Tian stood on an empty space, and three Class One Warriors stood in front of him. They pulled out the Tang daos by their waists and began to charge at Yang Tian, swords slashing away. Yang Tian stood as still as a rock.

When the three Warriors passed by him, Yang Tian smiled as he said, “Number One slashed 36 times. Number Two, 40 times, and Number Three, 52 times.”

The three Warriors were all slashing at different speeds. One would meet the requirements to be a Class One Warrior if they could count the number of slashes of Number One. Being able to count Number Two’s slashes meant that one had the fastest reflexes in a Class One Warrior bracket.

Being able to see through Number Three’s slashes would mean that one met the requirements for a Class Two Warrior. If one could see through all three Warrior’s slashes at the same time, that meant that they had reached the upper limit of the Class Two Warrior bracket in terms of reflexes.

...

In earlier times, a machine was used to test the Warriors’ reflexes. However, the data produced by the machine could not truly reflect the Warriors’ reflexes. After that, they changed to a testing method that better reflected combat conditions.

“Congratulations! With your results, you have met the requirements to be a Class Two Warrior.” The staff in charge of recording results smiled and said after reviewing Yang Tian’s results.

At this stage of the trials, it went without saying that Yang Tian had met the requirements to be a Class Two Warrior. As for endurance, even if he did not meet the standard, he could meet it through training.

The test for endurance was the same as the trials that Yang Tian underwent at the Shenwei Military Academy. It was still running with a load, however, the burden was increased by a few times, and the time was slightly shortened.

The results showed themselves very quickly. Yang Tian scored an impressive 95 marks.

After the results were shown, the Military Academy Staff gave Yang Tian a badge. It was a yellow five-pointed star, with the words ‘Tianwei Military Academy’ emblazoned in the middle of the star in red.
