"Hmm?!"

Upon hearing Zhang Beixing’s words, everyone present furrowed their brows.

What, is he trying to rebel? Yu Jianhong looked at Zhang Beixing, this absurd idea arising in his mind. Of course, he knew it was nonsense. No matter what, Zhang Beixing wouldn’t do such a thing.

RIP—

Immediately after, they saw Zhang Beixing casually tear off a piece of his clothing and bind it over his eyes, covering them.

Huh. He decided not to look at all.

After all, I’ve just broken through to the Hidden Essence realm. Even without using my eyes to see things, I can rely on my own sharp perception to discern my surroundings. Covering my eyes isn’t a big problem for me.

"Let’s go, Brother Yang, to the test," said Zhang Beixing.

Seeing him like this, the corners of Yang Ying’s mouth twitched.

This was a complete waste of effort, all that scheming for nothing!

Yang Ying was somewhat frustrated. But being frustrated was useless; things had already progressed to this point.

This kid really doesn’t give us any chances! He’s dead set on not associating with the military! Yang Ying thought. Suddenly, he understood how Cao Cao must have felt when trying to persuade Guan Yu to stay; no matter what was offered, Guan Yu remained unmoved. That feeling was truly agonizing, making one feel so utterly powerless! 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

"Alas!" Yang Ying sighed and said to Zhang Beixing, "Please, this way."

"Okay!" Zhang Beixing responded and then followed Yang Ying.

And it turns out, this decision to cover my eyes was absolutely right. That old fox Yang Ying is quite cunning. The test location he had designated for Zhang Beixing was at the end of the corridor. The key was, this corridor had transparent glass on both sides, and behind the glass, people were writing and drawing something. And how did I know all this? Please. Did they really think my Unbreakable Divine Sight and Unity of Knowledge and Action at the Hidden Essence realm were for show? A Mental Attribute of 180 is no joke!

Following Yang Ying, it wasn’t long before Zhang Beixing stood at the doorway.

Yang Ying’s voice also rose at this time, "Young Friend Zhang, we’re here. This is your testing location. You can take off the blindfold now."

"Okay." Hearing Yang Ying’s words, Zhang Beixing responded. But he didn’t immediately remove the blindfold. Instead, his body tensed slightly as he carefully sensed his surroundings, ensuring there was nothing he shouldn’t see. Only then did Zhang Beixing remove the cloth strip covering his eyes.

He looked intently ahead and saw before him a room, its decor strikingly similar to a martial arts training room. The martial arts training room was entirely paved with a special alloy. Earlier, on the ground, that group of soldiers had used this special alloy, along with the equipment on it, for their target practice tests.

"Young Friend Zhang, go in. After we give the command, you’ll start the test. Don’t hold back then. Feel free to unleash your full strength," Yang Ying said from the side.

Hearing this, Zhang Beixing nodded, then pushed the door open and walked in.

Yang Ying, after watching Zhang Beixing enter, brought Huo Honghao, Yu Jianhong, and the others to an adjacent room. Yang Ying pressed a few buttons on the main console. The wall in front instantly turned to glass, allowing them to clearly see Zhang Beixing’s current situation. At the same time, the main console also displayed various data about Zhang Beixing.

Inside the martial arts training room, Zhang Beixing was warming up. This was a test concerning the final rating he could achieve, so Zhang Beixing was not careless. He adjusted his condition to ensure he was at his peak.

And his method of adjustment...

"It’s his breathing!" Yang Ying keenly observed, having noticed Zhang Beixing’s unusual state and now pointing it out.

Earlier today, when they first met, he had already taken note of Zhang Beixing. Thus, he had long since noticed Zhang Beixing’s breathing, which was obviously different from that of ordinary people. But at that time, Zhang Beixing was relaxed, so even though his breathing was strange, it wasn’t possible to pinpoint anything too odd about it. It wasn’t until now, when Zhang Beixing became serious, that his strange way of breathing finally revealed its peculiarities.

Disordered! Zhang Beixing’s breathing rhythm was very chaotic. At first glance, it seemed to lack any discernible pattern, sometimes long, sometimes short—utterly bizarre. In reality, however, Zhang Beixing’s peculiar breathing was incredibly profound. Each inhalation could mobilize every muscle in his body.

This was particularly apparent on the screens of their control console. Looking down at the thermal imaging on the screen, each breath Zhang Beixing took in pulled at the muscles all over his body, causing his temperature to rise and his body to flush red. Once it reached a certain limit, accompanied by a barely discernible CLICK, the special alloy in the room sensitively captured this movement, recorded it, and relayed it to the screen.

Then, the turbid air was exhaled, and the circulation of his Qi and Blood resounded like surging rivers. On the thermal imager, Zhang Beixing’s body temperature lowered slightly. Then, he took another deep breath, and the temperature rose again, becoming even more dazzlingly red than before. Cycling through this process repeatedly, Zhang Beixing’s condition visibly climbed, and his internal temperature rose higher and higher.

"Is this... a steam engine?" Huo Honghao suddenly exclaimed, watching Zhang Beixing’s actions. It wasn’t that Zhang Beixing’s warm-up had made him seem non-human; it was just that watching Zhang Beixing’s movements gave him the distinct illusion of observing a steam engine in operation.
