Everyone instantly raised their heads to look at the monitor above the standing punching bag. Two seconds later, the result appeared on the monitor.

"135??"

"What? His score is 135?!"

"I thought he was a high-level disciple, but I was wrong."

"I think so too."

"His strength is even stronger than a low-level master stage."

"Previously, I believed that his score would be 130 at most."

"No wonder he could defeat Dandan last month."

"Yes. His strength is in the category of a mid-level master."

All the disciples were shocked after seeing Xiao Tian's score on the board. They knew that Xiao Tian was strong, but they didn't expect him to be that strong.

Not only the disciples, Zhao Chen and Zhao Xun were also startled. Previously, they believed that Xiao Tian's score would be in the category of a low-level master stage.

Xiao Tian, who saw his score, was pleasantly surprised. He also didn't expect that his score would be that high.

"Damn it! His strength is stronger than me." Even though Zhao Sheng was cursing in his heart, but he was happy for Xiao Tian. "It seems like I have to practice more from now on."

He didn't feel envy or something like that because they were best friends. He was also sure that he could increase his strength in the near future.

Even though Zhao Sheng said in a low voice, but Zhao Chen and Zhao Xun could hear it.

'It seems like testing Xiao Tian's level is a good idea.'

Zhao Chen and Zhao Xun were delighted when they saw an expression of determination slowly filling Zhao Sheng's eyes.

"Brat, his score is higher than you." Zhao Chen spoke abruptly.

"Shut up, old man!" Zhao Sheng pretended to be annoyed.

"Hehe." Lan Ruoxi giggled.

Zhao Chen then walked over to Xiao Tian and stood on his right side. "Now, let's test your speed."

"All right." Xiao Tian answered as he nodded his head.

On their right side, there was a machine for testing the speed of martial artists. The device was like a treadmill with 21 inches monitor above it.

Zhao Chen then spoke, "To test your speed, you need to run for 100 meters on this machine."

He then explained the speed of martial artists based on their level. For martial artists at the low-level disciple stage, their speed was between 16 - 15,1 seconds to reach 100 meters. The mid-level disciple stage had a speed of 15 - 14,1 seconds to reach 100 meters. As for those at the high-level disciple stage, their speed was between 14 - 13 seconds to reach 100 meters.

For martial artists at the low-level master stage, their speed was between 12,5 – 12,1 seconds to reach 100 meters. The mid-level master stage had a speed of 12 – 11,6 seconds to reach 100 meters. As for those at the high-level master stage, their speed was between 11,5 – 11,1 seconds to reach 100 meters.

For martial artists at the low-level grandmaster stage, their speed was between 11 - 10,6 seconds to reach 100 meters. The mid-level grandmaster stage had a speed of 10,5 – 10 seconds to reach 100 meters. As for those at the grandmaster stage, it took them less than 10 seconds to reach 100 meters.

Because Xiao Tian was from Moon Sword Martial Arts, Zhao Chen suspected that his speed was in the category of a mid-level master stage.

And what he had guessed was right because it only took Xiao Tian 11,7 seconds to run 100 meters. This caused all the disciples to be shocked again.

This time, Zhao Xun was not surprised because, based on his previous results and remembering that Xiao Tian was from the Moon Sword Martial Arts, he had guessed that Xiao Tian's speed was in the category of a mid-level master.

At this moment, Zhao Chen and Zhao Xun thought Xiao Tian was already a mid-level master stage. However, they were wrong because when Xiao Tian tested his reflex, his score was in the low-level master stage category.

On the third test, Xiao Tian walked into a large circular room where he had to dodge dozens of arrows at high speed. Of course, the tip of the arrow had been replaced with foam wrapped in cloth.

Even though his strength and speed were in the category of the mid-level master stage, but because his reflex was in the low-level master stage, Xiao Tian was still a martial artist at the low-level master stage.

If he wanted to raise his level to mid-level, he had to make his reflex in the category of a mid-level master stage.

After they tested Xiao Tian's level, they returned to the backyard. Currently, Xiao Tian, Zhao Chen, Zhao Sheng, Zhao Xun, and Lan Ruoxi were standing under a big tree.

There were two big trees in the vast backyard, and they were standing under one of them.

"Zhao Sheng, what is your level?" Xiao Tian inquired.

"We are on the same level." Zhao Sheng gave an honest answer.

"I see." Xiao Tian nodded his head.

Zhao Chen looked at Xiao Tian and spoke, "Because you have tested your strength, now it's time to practice martial arts."

"Finally, it's practice time." Zhao Sheng said happily. "I've been waiting for this."

Zhao Xun and Zhao Chen, who heard Zhao Sheng's words, were surprised. It was the first time Zhao Sheng looked so happy before practicing martial arts.

Usually, he always complained or made excuses before practicing martial arts. However, today was different. Zhao Sheng looked like a young man who loved martial arts very much.

'Maybe I should ask Xiao Tian to practice martial art with Zhao Sheng often later.'

These were the words that appeared in Zhao Chen's mind.

Zhao Chen then looked at Lan Ruoxi and asked, "Do you want to practice martial arts too?"

"No. I only want to them." Lan Ruoxi refused instantly.

"All right." Zhao Chen then returned his attention to Xiao Tian and Zhao Sheng. "Let's warm-up first."

After warming up, Xiao Tian thought Zhao Chen would train them, but he was wrong because Zhao Chen told them to spar.

"Use this." Zhao Chen gave a wooden sword to Xiao Tian before throwing forearm guard at Zhao Sheng.

"Grandfather, I'm your family. Why are you treating Xiao Tian better than me?" even though Zhao Sheng looked angry, but the truth was he was not mad at all.

"What? Do you have a problem with that?" Zhao Chen inquired.

Zhao Sheng pointed his right index finger at his grandfather and spoke, "You are lucky that you are old. Otherwise, I would have beat you to death by now."

"Oh? Why don't you do that now?" Zhao Chen challenged Zhao Sheng to fight him.

At this moment, Xiao Tian unconsciously made a sad expression.

'If only father is with me now.'

In his past life, he was very close to his father. Even though his mother passed away when he was still in junior high school, but he was never sad because his father was always with him.

When Zhao Sheng and the others saw Xiao Tian's expression, they misunderstood it. They thought Xiao Tian was sad because he had never met his father since he was a child.

All of them knew about his family background and what had happened to him when he was a child. For this reason, Zhao Sheng tapped Xiao Tian's shoulders and smiled, "Xiao Tian, let's spar now. But don't blame me if I beat you later. Hehe."

"The same goes for you." Xiao Tian was touched by Zhao Sheng's actions. Of course, Xiao Tian knew the reason why Zhao Sheng said something like that.

After that, they prepared to spar.

"Xiao Tian, you can attack me first." Zhao Sheng said.

"I hope you won't regret it later." after saying that, Xiao Tian dashed towards Zhao Sheng and began to attack Zhao Sheng.

Cut, hung, point, thrust, and slash. Xiao Tian attacked Zhao Sheng non-stop. Even though Xiao Tian's attacks were fast, but Zhao Sheng could block or avoid all of them.

'His attacks are fast and strong. If I didn't wear forearm guard, my arms would have been injured by now.'

Even though Zhao Sheng was only blocking or avoiding Xiao Tian's attacks, but he was also looking for an opportunity to counterattack. When the opportunity had arisen, Zhao Sheng instantly threw a high kick.

However, Xiao Tian was able to avoid it by taking one step back. Because Xiao Tian didn't want to give Zhao Sheng another chance to attack him, he dashed towards Zhao Sheng and slashed his wooden sword diagonally.

Even though Xiao Tian kept attacking Zhao Sheng, but Zhao Sheng was still able to counterattack.

"It seems like that brat finally finds an opponent that is as strong as him." Zhao Chen said as he touched his chin.

Previously, he thought Zhao Sheng would have the upper hand in the fight, but he was wrong. He didn't expect Xiao Tian to be as strong as his grandson.

Like Zhao Chen, Zhao Xun was also surprised when Xiao Tian could fight his son equally.

I didn't expect him to be that strong. It seems like this Xiao Tian is as talented as my son in martial arts. Zhao Xun thought to himself.

Seconds turned into minutes, and without realizing it, ten minutes had passed since Xiao Tian and Zhao Sheng fought.

However, the winner was still undetermined. Even none of them managed to land an attack. Whenever Xiao Tian attacked, Zhao Sheng could always avoid or block it. The same thing happened when Zhao Sheng attacked Xiao Tian.

At this moment, Xiao Tian realized that defeating Zhao Sheng was very hard.

'What should I do at a time like this?'

After thinking for several seconds, Xiao Tian finally found a way to beat Zhao Sheng.

'I'm sure I can defeat him using this method.'

Xiao Tian's lips curled into a grin.
