Chapter 15 Practical Assessment
The old host came back to his senses from his shock, but he couldn't calm down for a long time.

Under the calm gaze of the girl, he stammered and announced:
"Mu Zi, Body Tempering Level 7, Rank: Lower-Excellent!"

After hearing about Mu Zi's true cultivation level, everyone was shocked but also somewhat numb.

For a young girl who has just started practicing, is there a big difference between the sixth and seventh levels of body tempering? Anyway, both are beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Mu Ye stared at Mu Zi blankly at this moment, still unable to believe it.

He thought Mu Zi was just an ordinary girl next door, but her outstanding appearance touched him. Of course, Mu Ye thought that beauty was not important, he just admired her innocence and kindness.

Mu Ye originally imagined that if he showed his strength, Mu Zi would admire him, start to interact with him, and then gradually fall in love with him as they spent time together day after day.

But he never expected that the talent he was most proud of was nothing in front of Mu Zi.

Mu Ye finally woke up, and at the same time, the pride in his heart was shattered.

Seeing Mu Ye’s distraught look, the old woman snorted coldly.

"Look at you. You become discouraged when you encounter setbacks. What else can you accomplish?"

Mu Ye looked up and said blankly: "But what hope do I have?"

The old woman said slowly: "I didn't expect this girl to have such a strong talent."

"However, after all, her cultivation is not as good as yours. As long as you can perform well in the actual combat assessment, I will sacrifice my reputation and help you settle the marriage."

Mu Ye couldn't bear to hear this: "But if I force her like this, she will hate me!"

The old woman's eyes twitched. She didn't expect that this boy still expected mutual consent.

She said with some regret: "Haha, she already dislikes you now, look up and take a good look!"

Upon hearing this, Mu Ye looked at Mu Zi, only to see that she was looking at him indifferently, without any of the sweet smile she had before.

The girl's indifferent eyes were reflected in his pupils, and Mu Ye's heart began to twitch violently. It turned out that he had been daydreaming all along.

The old woman's hoarse voice came: "Perform well in the actual combat test, you still have a chance."

Mu Ye lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.

Amid everyone's astonished gazes, Mu Zi returned to Mu Lingsha and smiled at her.

"I've already told you that I'm sure. Do you believe it now?"

Mu Lingsha exclaimed: "You really gave us a big surprise."

Changing the subject, Mu Lingsha asked, "But do you want to give us an explanation?"

"coming!"

Mu Zi had a blank expression on her face, her mind racing: "What's the explanation?"

Looking at her calm appearance, Mu Lingsha felt a little confused.

"Of course it's your cultivation. How did you achieve the seventh level of Body Tempering after five months of cultivation?"

Hearing this question, several people in the main seats pricked up their ears.

Mu Zi explained calmly, "I don't know what happened. After taking the elixir you gave me, I felt that the effect of my usual practice seemed to be much better."

"Is it really Rehmannia fruit?" Mu Lingsha was completely confused.

Mu Tian seemed to be thinking about something, and asked, "Master, are there any special things about the five Rehmannia fruits you gave Lingsha last time?"

Mu Tao recalled it carefully and said uncertainly: "Nothing special?"

After discussing for a while, there was no result and everyone gave up thinking.

"Maybe it's because Xiao Zi has a special physique. I heard that some people are born with special advantages, and their bodies can absorb spiritual medicines several times better than ordinary people." Mu Yun said uncertainly.

Although it was a little hard to believe, but Mu Zi's facts were before their eyes, so everyone accepted this explanation.

Seeing that he had gotten away with it, Mu Zi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The assessment continues, and the next step is the practical assessment.

The old man hosting the event waved his hand, and several men brought over a ring where the actual combat test would be conducted.

"Who will come first?" asked the old host.

Seeing that Mu Ye and Mu Zi had no reaction, Mu Tie and Mu Jing stood up. Perhaps, compared to those two, they were just making up the numbers in this assessment.

After looking at each other, they felt a sense of sympathy.

An examiner at the eighth level of body tempering walked onto the stage and stood in front of the two men.

"I don't know how to use my energy, and I'll try to suppress my strength to the fifth level of body tempering. You two can come at me together."

Taking a deep breath, Mu Tie and Mu Jing got into position and rushed forward one after the other.

"Rockfall Fist!"

"Tornado legs!"

The two used their own martial arts to attack the examiner, and they cooperated well for a while. However, the examiner was at the eighth level of body tempering after all, and although he suppressed his strength, his body's ability to withstand blows far exceeded that of Mu Tie and the others.

He countered the two men's martial arts attacks and took them all with just his bare hands.

Mu Tie glanced at Mu Jing, who understood what he meant and stopped fighting and instead started to pester him.

Taking advantage of the opportunity created by Mu Jing, Mu Tie displayed his strongest martial arts.

"Clap clap clap clap!"

Mu Zi raised her eyebrows slightly. She didn't expect that Mu Tie's trump card was Tongbeiquan.

Fists and palms collided, and the examiner was finally pushed back a step. However, by then both men were already out of breath and had no strength to pursue.

"Is the gap so big?" Mu Tie was a little desperate.

Unexpectedly, the examiner did not launch an attack, but smiled and said, "Five-shot Tongbei Quan, not bad."

"Mu Jing's performance was also very good. The most important thing is that you know how to cooperate. If I were truly at the fifth level of Body Tempering, I would have been defeated by you by now."

"You have passed the actual combat test."

The old man presiding over the meeting announced: "Mu Tie and Mu Jing have been recognized by the examiners and have passed the practical assessment. Their ratings remain unchanged."

Upon hearing the good news, Mu Tie and the other man breathed a sigh of relief, clasped their fists to the examiner, and returned to their seats.

At the main seat, Mu Tao commented: "These two are good, not just show-offs."

The examiner did not leave the arena. He looked directly at Mu Ye who was standing behind the old woman.

"Next!"

Mu Ye stood up, looked deeply at the expressionless Mu Zi, and jumped onto the stage.

The examiner said to Mu Ye: "You have a high talent for cultivation, but I don't know how your talent for fighting is?"

Mu Ye said expressionlessly: "You will see."

Before he finished speaking, he rushed towards the examiner with a burst of energy.

"Eight Desolate Palms!"

Feeling the strong wind coming towards him, the examiner did not dare to be careless and also used his martial arts.

"Eight Desolate Palms!"

The two of them were actually performing the same martial arts, and their palms collided with the sound of breaking wind.

"boom!"

A low sound rang out when the two palms collided, and the powerful energy blew away all the dust on the nearby arena.

"Dengdeng!"

As soon as they touched, they separated. Both of them shook slightly and retreated at the same time. They were evenly matched.

The examiner was a little surprised. The power of Mu Ye's Eight Desolate Palm was somewhat beyond his expectations.

On the main seat, Mu Tao was somewhat amazed: "Mu Ye's proficiency in the Eight Desolate Palm is very high!"

Although both of them were at the eighth level of Body Tempering, the examiner had practiced for many more years than Mu Ye. Despite this, he was unable to gain an advantage in the martial arts duel, which showed that Mu Ye's martial arts talent was not low.

"Haha, this is what I value most about Ye'er. He has trained well in martial arts. He is the best among all the people I have ever taught." The old woman praised.

Everyone was a little surprised when they heard this. You know, when this old woman was young, she was responsible for teaching the tribe martial arts. To receive such an evaluation from her, it seems that Mu Ye is really a good seedling for practicing martial arts.

The two men in the field continued to fight. As time went by, Mu Ye's combat experience improved. His offensive moves, which were originally a bit awkward, gradually became mature. He also gained the upper hand in the fight.

Finally, as Mu Ye's palms became faster and faster, the examiner could no longer hold on and was knocked off the stage.

Seeing this result, everyone present was amazed. It was rare for a candidate to defeat the examiner directly, not to mention that this was a master of the family who was at the eighth level of Body Tempering.

Even when Mu Lingsha was taking the assessment, she only managed a draw.

Offstage, Mu Tie and Mu Jing felt a little bitter.

He tried his best but failed to force the other party to use martial arts. However, Mu Ye defeated the other party head-on.

"Is the difference so big?"

The old man presiding over the exam announced: "Mu Ye defeated the examiner and passed the test."

"Combining the results of the two assessments, Mu Ye's final rating is: medium-excellent."

Amid the exclamations of the crowd, Mu Ye looked up at Mu Zi, but unexpectedly saw mockery in the other's eyes.

"Have you had enough fun? Now it's my turn."
