With all these qualities, I will eventually become immortal.

Chapter 84: The Trial Begins, Facing the Heavenly Demon
Time flies, and a week has passed quickly.

The level-four demon lair outside the city remains under lockdown, with military vehicles passing by in dense numbers.

Meanwhile, the manhunt for Fang Jianxing continues within the city.

At the same time, the police took this opportunity to launch a series of special operations to crack down on cultists, and caught many who had escaped.

Meng Chuan's days were very fulfilling. He practiced internal energy cultivation in the morning and studied diligently at school at noon.

I occasionally go to the martial arts school on weekends to test my blood and qi, and teach the students a few moves.

"I haven't seen the Hu brothers for several days. I heard they took leave recently, saying they're doing special training at the martial arts school."

"Really, Teacher Chen? Their master is quite the figure. No wonder he's a martial arts master of the second generation. He looks like a celestial being standing there."

While chatting with Teacher Chen Tie, Meng Chuan thought of the student named Wang Xudong and sighed inwardly.

"Let's not talk about that. I feel like you have a good talent for hard skills. You've improved a lot after only a few days of practice. You're quite the all-rounder, aren't you?"

As Chen Tie applied the ointment to his back, he said with a puzzled expression.

Meng Chuan enjoyed the soreness in his body after being pounded, and then adjusted his breathing rhythm. After a week of hard practice of the Armor-Piercing Technique, his breathing using his lower dantian became increasingly smooth.

Inside the school, after finishing his rehearsal with Teacher Chen Tie, Meng Chuan was applying ointment when a message notification popped up on his phone in his pocket.

Candidates whose license plate ends in 8085, please arrive at the New Town Police Station Complex at 3 PM today to take the exam.

The martial arts association notified him to prepare for the assessment the day before yesterday, and today is another reminder to Meng Chuan to participate on time to avoid wasting human and material resources.

After the ointment was absorbed by his body, Meng Chuan moved his limbs for a while and felt his body becoming stronger.

He had already asked for the afternoon off in advance, and while he still had time, Meng Chuan continued to practice his boxing against the wooden stake.

"I'm going to take the Level A license test this afternoon. The last part is practical training, so I'll take this opportunity to get some practice."

3pm.

New District Police Station Complex Building.

Meng Chuan got off the tram and ran to the door.

"Phew, I almost missed it."

When he got to the gate, he opened his phone, read the appointment message, and handed it to the gatekeeper, who glanced at it and let him through.

After Meng Chuan left, he couldn't help but sigh:

"To have earned a silver medal at such a young age, he is truly a promising young talent."

"I don't know if he can pass the exam for the Class A license."

Although the required level for the assessment is intermediate martial artist, it is mostly conducted by advanced martial artists and martial arts masters from the three upper levels.

Because the final practical assessment requires facing the Heavenly Demon head-on!
After entering the building, Meng Chuan left his information at the registration desk, which puzzled the staff.

Are you really 16?

"I'm almost 17. Can't minors take the exam?"

The staff member threatened:
"Okay. But you must be careful, the final battle will involve the Heavenly Demon."

After confirming the information was correct, the staff member said to Meng Chuan:

"First, go to room 202 on the left side of the second floor to take the character test. After you pass the test, you can take the practical exam. Go upstairs this way."

Meng Chuan had already learned about the personality test online beforehand.

Each test question is randomly selected from a test question bank compiled by psychology experts.

The exam questions serve two purposes: to assess the candidates' moral character and to ensure the mental health of those holding the certificate.

Meng Chuan sat on the exam table, connected to the heart rate monitoring device, and began answering questions.

Heart rate testing equipment can accurately determine whether test takers are answering questions against their will.

There were only fifty questions, and Meng Chuanshun quickly answered them all, then got up and left to wait for the results.

The results came out ten minutes later: the personality test was passed.

Meng Chuan breathed a sigh of relief. Although he felt confident, it was still an exam, so he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

"Please wait a moment, candidates, while we check the actual exam room one more time."

A few minutes later.

A smart policewoman in a navy blue uniform came out and led the way for Meng Chuan.

"Hello, candidate, please follow me."

The young woman led Meng Chuan into the basement, explaining things as they went.

"There will be a simulated miniature demon nest below, but the demons inside are real. You will pass through the examination room wearing the protective suit we provide, and that will count as passing the exam."

Meng Chuan nodded to indicate that he understood.

After putting on his protective suit, he arrived at a large simulation area, pushed open the door, and walked in to stand still.

The interior space was pitch black, and he couldn't see anything clearly, which gave him a rather scary movie vibe. However, the loudspeaker above broke the atmosphere.

"Candidate Meng Chuan, are you ready?"

"All right."

"The exam has begun. Candidates are free to explore. The exit is hidden somewhere in the simulated demon nest. Success means passing through it."

"Friendly reminder: there may be surprises hidden in some places. The protective suit's protective effect only lasts for five minutes."
If you haven't found the exit within five minutes of encountering the surprise, the mission is considered a failure.

"Understood"

Looking at the pitch blackness before him, it was impossible for Meng Chuan not to feel nervous, as people are naturally afraid of dark environments.

But it was only a slight physiological effect, so Meng Chuan wasn't afraid.

Trying to explore forward, Meng Chuanxian didn't turn on the flashlight that had been given to him, but instead felt around at everything around him.

The surface felt damp to the touch, and with a faint putrid smell, it really did resemble a demon's lair.

Meng Chuan walked to the center of the house and turned on his flashlight to scan the walls.

"It's quite like a haunted house I visited in my past life."

Having found the door, Meng Chuan gently pushed it open and stepped into the next scene.

It was the same enclosed house, and before I could even see the layout of the room, the flashlight suddenly went out.

Meng Chuan reached out and pushed the switch several times, but the flashlight still didn't respond.

Is the battery dead or broken?

He thought the test equipment provided by the police station couldn't possibly be of such poor quality.

Suddenly, Meng Chuan felt a chill in his heart; it was the Eight Extremes Warning system alerting him.

"The flashlight malfunctioned because it was covered by the Heavenly Demon Force Field!"

Meng Chuan was startled, then he gathered his strength in his hand and threw a powerful punch, twisting his waist and turning around to strike behind him!

The sound of fists rustling filled the air, but he didn't hit anything.

"There's none?"

suddenly!

Meng Chuan felt a sudden dizziness, and his head was spinning.

He was familiar with this feeling.

Tongjia Lane, a place of utter delusion and monstrous power!
The rustling sound of teeth grinding lingered in my ears.

Above my head!
Meng Chuan reacted instantly, unleashing a burst of power at the limit-breaking level, and dodged to the side to avoid the erosion.

His body trembled instinctively, the familiar chill gradually numbing his limbs, trying to regain control of his body once more.

At this critical moment, Meng Chuan remained calm and activated the protective suit's defensive functions according to the correct operating procedures.

The nanofibers inside the protective suit are working, using their entanglement properties to gradually resist the corrosive energy of the demon from the body.

Meng Chuan quickly moved his limbs, marveling at the wonder of the protective suit.

"We only have five minutes, hurry up and find the exit."

Two cold, greasy hands pressed on his shoulders, and he could feel the corrosive sensation intensifying.

He knew that if he was completely eroded within five minutes, he would fail the assessment, so he needed to hurry and find a way out.

Meng Chuan first tried to retaliate, but without the support of martial will and true qi, his fist could only pass through the white shadow and hit the air, which made him feel somewhat frustrated.

"I need to hurry up and become a martial artist."

He never wanted to experience that feeling of seeing the Heavenly Demon and being powerless to stop it again.

Time ticked by, and Meng Chuan rampaged through the room like a heavy tank.

Two or three minutes later, ignoring the chill running down the back of his head, Meng Chuan smashed the table in front of him with his fist and reached out to touch the doorknob.

With a forceful twist, it shot out.

Then, the mechanical broadcast from above began to play.

Congratulations to the candidate who passed the assessment.

As he stepped out of the room, the Heavenly Demon was trapped inside by some unknown force and could not get out, and the chill on his body gradually faded away.

A small door seems to separate two worlds.

Meng Chuan took off his protective suit and placed it in the designated location. Just as he was about to get up and leave, a series of faint static came from the loudspeaker above his head.

A moment later, a deep male voice came from the radio.

[Candidate Meng Chuan, please come to the miscellaneous fees room to pay the venue damage fee before collecting your certificate.]
