1466 Technique Evaluation(2)

Once Wang Bingbing entered the training room, the door closed behind her.

The interior of the room was extremely simple and empty. Other than a metallic human-shaped dummy standing in the middle of the room, there was nothing else.

Standing by the wall were three individuals—two men and one woman.

"Hello, can we have your name, faction, and current cultivation base?" the woman asked.

"Wang Bingbing from the Demon Sealing Faction. 7th level Spirit Grandmaster."

The woman nodded and said, "Thank you, Miss Wang. We will be the ones evaluating whether your martial techniques are safe enough for your upcoming Faction War. What weapon do you use?"

"A sword."

One of the men pulled a wooden sword out of thin air and tossed it at her.

"In order to determine whether your martial technique is safe or dangerous, we need to see its strength and control. For the first test, you may strike the dummy with full strength. The dummy can withstand a Spirit Lord's attack with no problem, so you don't have to hold back," said the woman.

"You may strike the dummy with your martial technique whenever you are ready."

Wang Bingbing nodded and took a deep breath before unleashing one of her martial techniques.

Sha!

Wang Bingbing's figure suddenly became blurry for the next few seconds. At the same time, dozens of red sword marks appeared on the dummy, each mark representing a hit and the damage it sustained.

"Do you mind telling us the name of that technique and its rank? Although it will be recorded, the public cannot access it if you're worried about that."

"Wandering Phantom Sword Arts. It's a Divine-rank technique."

"No wonder. Each of your strikes at full strength was strong enough to kill a Spirit Grandmaster. Now, show us how much you can control its strength. I want you to imagine the dummy as a Spirit Apprentice cultivator and strike it with just enough strength to knock him out without any serious injuries."

Wang Bingbing nodded and performed the technique again. This time, the sword marks on the dummy were orange in color.

"Good. Now…"

The woman pressed a button on her remote controller, causing the dummy to start moving its limbs.

"You will now spar with the dummy. Its strength has been adjusted to be as strong as that of a Spirit Grandmaster. I would like you to perform the technique on it a minute into your fight. Also, use the same amount of strength as you did just now."

Sometime later, the dummy started moving and attacking Wang Bingbing. Although its movements were stiff and predictable, it moved quickly and had tremendous strength.

A minute later, Wang Bingbing performed her martial technique, striking the dummy a dozen times in just a few seconds.

Of her 12 strikes, 9 sword marks glowed orange and three green.

After seeing the results, the three judges nodded with approved looks. The green sword marks indicated that the damage was superficial and would only leave bruises on a Spirit Apprentice. Strikes that could potentially break bones glowed orange, and life-threatening strikes glowed red.

"Looks like you have sufficient control over your technique, Miss Wang. We will approve the utilization of this technique in your Faction Wars. You may show us if you have any more techniques you would like to use."

Wang Bingbing nodded and proceeded to show off a few more martial techniques.

The tests varied depending on the martial technique's properties and effects. For example, a martial technique with an explosive nature that attacks on a wide scale will have a different test than a technique that focuses on penetration.

Wang Bingbing finished her evaluation after spending 10 minutes inside the room and came out with 3 martial techniques approved.

"I will go next." Shi Lang said.

He returned fifteen minutes later with two martial techniques approved.

"I don't plan on using any martial techniques for this match, so you can go," Meifeng said to Wu Zao.

He nodded and entered the room.

Wu Zao only had a single martial technique evaluated, but due to its nature, they had to test it thoroughly.

Ten dummies stood in a scattered formation before Wu Zao, each wearing a badge around their waist.

"You may begin whenever you are ready."

Wu Zao nodded before casually swiping his fan in the dummies' direction.

A powerful gust of wind made purely of spiritual energy swept the dummies, quickly destroying the badges around their waist while their bodies glowed green. However, only two of the dummies glowed green, meaning the rest weren't damaged in the slightest.

"Impressive control…" The woman muttered in awe.

Many players have tried to evaluate martial techniques that could attack on a wide scale, but almost all of them lacked the control needed for approval.

Wu Zao left the room half an hour later.

"You're left, Yuan." Wu Zao looked at him with a smile.

Yuan nodded and approached the door, entering it.

When the judges saw Yuan, they subconsciously swallowed nervously.

'It's really Player Yuan! Despite his fame, not much is known about his combat prowess or abilities, but that will change starting today!' they thought inwardly.

While the Ten Great Families were aware of Yuan's prowess through experience, they valued such information and did not spread it unnecessarily, so the majority of the world remained oblivious to his capabilities.

"Welcome, Player Yuan. What is your current cultivation?" the woman asked.

"Ninth level Spirit Grandmaster," he calmly said.

'He's only a Spirit Grandmaster?' the judges were inwardly surprised, as they had expected him to be at least a Spirit Lord.

"What weapon will you be wielding?"

"I will be using three weapons. The sword, dagger, and zither."

"Huh? Three weapons? And a zither, too?" The judges were certainly surprised by his response.

Among the millions of players around the world that have participated in Faction Wars, less than a hundred players picked the zither as their weapon of choice, so one could imagine the judges' surprise to learn that the most popular player will also use the zither.
