My Talent Can Constantly Evolve - Chapter 35

Chapter 35 Final Grade

By the time Yu Xiangrong and Xu Cheng arrived at the parallel bars test area, Lu Heng and He Bing had already finished the test.

Just like before, Lu Heng’s score in this test was still better than He Bing’s.

“Lu Heng, it seems that your talent was really inaccurately measured back in school,” He Bing said helplessly.

Even though Lu Heng had quickly finished learning the army-breaking saber technique, he still had some doubts.

However, after a series of physical tests, he was finally completely convinced that Lu Heng’s talent had been inaccurately measured back in school.

He had no choice in the matter, as the results spoke for themselves. He had to believe it even if he did not want to.

Though it was said that one could rely on the guidance of a master teacher to make rapid progress in the study of martial techniques, the growth of one’s physique had very little to do with one’s teacher.

If one wanted to make rapid progress in one’s physique, there were only two ways of doing so. One was through the cultivation of internal strength, and the other was through the assistance of medicine and drugs.

An excellent teacher would at most give some pointers regarding the internal strength cultivation technique, allowing the student to step into the Qi Gathering stage earlier. Other than that, there was nothing else they could

do.

In reality though, in order for a student to step into the Qi Gathering stage of the cultivation technique quickly, the student had to have high comprehension ability and a good physique.

He Bing had experienced this after personally trying to cultivate the Qi Gathering technique.

On the other side, Yu Xiangrong and Xu Cheng also overheard what He Bing said.

Yu Xiangrong said with a faint smile, “This is interesting. I didn’t expect Lu Heng’s talent to have been inaccurately measured.”

Xu Cheng immediately understood and said, “Director, Dojo No. 9 now has another future martial artist!”

“Hahaha.” Yu Xiangrong laughed a few times happily and then said, “Let’s wait until they have finished all of the tests. It’s not good to jump to conclusions.”

“Let’s go and take a look.”

Lu Heng and He Bing headed to the next test area, and Yu Xiangrong followed them.

Just like that, Lu Heng and He Bing kept moving through the tests, while Yu Xiangrong and Xu Cheng followed and observed them from afar.

Soon they had completed all of the physical fitness and reaction tests. Only the adaptability test remained.

In the results of the previous two test categories, Lu Heng had proven to be better than He Bing.

He Bing’s physical fitness test score was D, while Lu Heng’s was C. He Bing’s reaction test score was E, while Lu Heng’s was D.

“Lu Heng, you scored higher than I did in both test categories. It looks like the last test will be no different.”

By this time, He Bing had completely accepted the fact that Lu Heng was better than him.

After all, Lu Heng had been mistakenly assigned to the civil class due to the error in his talent assessment. In fact, it seemed that he was very suitable for practicing martial arts.

Since that was the case, it was not too hard for He Bing to accept this result.

“Not necessarily,” Lu Heng shook his head and said, “I have a slight fear of heights. The last time I took the physical examination, my worst scores were from this test. This time, I definitely won’t perform much better.”

The adaptability test tested a person’s psychological quality, and one’s psychological quality had little to do with the level of one’s comprehension ability or the quality of one’s physique.

Although he had indeed become more courageous during this period of time, the symptoms of acrophobia could not be alleviated by simply bolstering his courage. He had to undergo systematic training to alleviate these symptoms, such as exposure therapy.

Moreover, not only was he afraid of heights, but his ability to deal with crises was also not too good. When he encountered dangerous situations, he was often careless and easily lost his bearings.

This also needed to be improved through training.

The best way to improve his ability in this aspect was to undergo actual combat.

As long as he experienced a few actual battles, he would be able to react and respond more calmly when dealing with crises.

“Let’s go. We’ll talk after the test.”

He Bing patted Lu Heng’s shoulder and pulled him toward the test area.

Seeing this, Yu Xiangrong said, “It seems that this young man is quite self-aware.”

Xu Cheng nodded and said, “Director is correct. Lu Heng knows his shortcomings very well.”

Yu Xiangrong raised his wrist to look at the time and then took out his phone to check. He then said, “There’s still time. Let’s wait for them to come out.”

The physical fitness examination was conducted in a closed area. Non-test-takers were not allowed to enter, so Yu Xiangrong did not want to break the rules and follow them in.

Anyway, as long as they waited, Lu Heng and He Bing would soon come out.

Time passed minute by minute.

Twenty minutes later, Lu Heng and He Bing walked out of the test area side by side.

He Bing was full of smiles, while Lu Heng looked a little glum.

It seemed that Lu Heng’s results this time were not that great.

“Lu Heng.”

Yu Xiangrong called out toward Lu Heng.

When Lu Heng and He Bing heard his voice, they immediately raised their heads and looked in Yu Xiangrong’s direction.

When they realized that it was the director, both of them were stunned.

They had already noticed Yu Xiangrong and Xu Cheng earlier, but had not known at the time what the other party’s purpose here was.

Now it seemed that the other party had been paying attention to them this entire time.

Lu Heng and He Bing did not dare to delay and quickly walked over to Yu Xiangrong and Xu Cheng

“Director, why are you looking for us?”

He Bing was the first to ask.

Yu Xiangrong smiled and nodded, then looked at Lu Heng and said, “Lu Heng, you are the only one in our dojo who dropped out of high school, so I had a deep impression of you.”

As soon as Yu Xiangrong finished speaking, Xu Cheng quickly nudged Lu Heng, “Lu Heng, quickly show your report card to the director.”

“Yes.”

Lu Heng immediately handed the assessment form to Yu Xiangrong.

After Yu Xiangrong received it, he looked at the other form in his hand.

“Physical fitness C, Reaction D, Adaptability E.”

Yu Xiangrong nodded with approval, “Not bad. You’ve made improvements in all three test categories. Your physical fitness score has even improved by two grades.”

After saying that, he returned the form to Lu Heng and said, “Lu Heng, your talent is very suitable for martial arts. It seems that the school didn’t measure your talent properly when the civil and martial arts classes were being divided.”

Lu Heng nodded and said, “Well, Instructor Wu also said the same thing.”

“Instructor Wu?” Yu Xiangrong recalled for a moment before clarifying, “Your instructor is Wu Dongping?”

“Yes,” Lu Heng nodded.

Yu Xiangrong smiled and said, “I see. Wu Dongping should be promoted then.”

Hearing this, He Bing chimed in, “Director, if Instructor Wu knew that you said that, he would definitely be very happy.”

Yu Xiangrong smiled and asked, “What’s your name?”

“My name is He Bing.”

Yu Xiangrong recalled for a moment, and then smiled and said, “I remember now. You are He Hai’s son. I have eaten together with your father before.”

When He Bing heard this, he immediately said in a flattering manner, “Director, I didn’t expect my father to be so lucky to have met you before!”

This was completely out of He Bing’s expectations.

His father was only a small technical leader in the pharmaceutical factory, whose status was not very high. To think that he was actually lucky enough to be acquainted with a level three martial artist like Yu Xiangrong.

Although the other party only mentioned that they had a meal together, the simple fact that the director had managed to recall his name within such a short period of time meant that it was definitely not as simple as just having had a meal together. The two sides must have had an exchange of some sort.

“He Bing, Xu Cheng, go take a walk by the side. I have a few words to say to Lu Heng,” Yu Xiangrong said to the two of them.

Xu Cheng immediately acknowledged the instructions and brought He Bing, whose expression was full of surprise, to another corner of the room.
