The car sped for more than ten minutes, and there were more and more high-rise buildings on both sides of the superconducting highway, getting higher and higher, and buildings three or four hundred meters high could be seen everywhere, one after another, endlessly, and even a few buildings were more than a kilometer high!

As you get closer to the city center, the traffic on the superconducting highway also becomes denser, the number of road layers increases, and the width of the lanes doubles.

As the capital of the Asia-Pacific Community, Chang'an is one of the largest megacities on the planet, with nearly 40,000 square kilometers of Guanzhong Plain all included in the capital area, with a resident population of more than 300 million, and a high population density, ranking among the top five in the world.

Despite years of repeated government policies to discourage citizens from congregating in the capital, little has been achieved.

This is not only due to the upward trend of human nature, but also to the factors left over from history, which is very complex.

Managing such a huge city can be difficult as you can imagine.

Chang'an is divided into 36 administrative districts, and the "Qishan District" where Ji Xinghuo lives is located in the west, more than 100 kilometers from the city center.

After 20 minutes, the car left the superconducting highway and was the destination of the trip a short distance from the ramp.

Ji Xinghuo got out of the car and looked up at the building in front of him.

It's a stadium.

Located on the north bank of the Wei River, the stadium has a very unique design, the main building resembles a diamond-shaped spaceship sailing at high speed, with sharp edges, and the exterior wall is covered with silver-gray glass, shining in the sun, and is one of the landmark buildings in the capital.

The "Tianqin National Stadium" covers an area of more than 150,000 square meters, but it is only 20 floors high, which can be described as a luxury in the center of Chang'an, where every inch of land is valuable.

The stadium is a mecca for countless people across the country and around the world.

Because it is the home of many teams in the "Super League" and "First Division" of the Asian Communist Party.

It has hosted many "International Invitational Tournaments" and two "Super World Cups" every week, staged many wonderful battles that people talk about today, and gave birth to many famous world champions.

Ji Xinghuo has also been here to watch the game before.

However, he is here to participate in the physical fitness test today, Tianqin Stadium is a public facility, and the Astral Ministry has set up a "Inhuman Service Center" in it.

Ji Xinghuo entered through the gate, the first floor to the fifth floor on the west side of the venue belonged to the Inhuman Service Center, and the people inside were bustling, most of them were young people, they came to do the physical fitness test like themselves, some were nervous, some were calm, but their eyes were full of expectation.

He had made an appointment for the service last night and followed the guidance to the second floor.

Soon, Ji Xinghuo came to a window.

"Ji Xinghuo."

A female staff member in a white uniform read out her name, and when she saw the photo on the screen, she subconsciously looked up, looked at Ji Xinghuo with a hidden look, a smile appeared on her face, and asked, "Mr. Ji applied for a physical fitness test?" ”

"Yes." Ji Xinghuo nodded.

"Please verify your identity." The staff showed a rare enthusiasm.

Ji Xinghuo followed her guidance and stood in a designated area on the ground, where a ring-shaped instrument scanned him from head to toe and collected a few milliliters of blood for anti-doping and genetic testing.

"Mr. Ji, please go to the waiting area to rest, the results will be available soon."

Ji Xinghuo went to the waiting area and sat down, looking calm and calm, but in fact, his heart couldn't help but fluctuate.

The scanning just now is a very important link to confirm the applicant's information, so as to avoid the theft of citizenship and the fraudulent use of different species.

Nowadays, biotechnology is so advanced that impersonating someone else's identity can almost be fake.

Appearance and body camouflage are the easiest, facial feature recognition, fingerprints, voice, and even iris have a way to fake, even the safest genetic sequence, as long as someone pays enough price, it can be completely reproduced.

This has happened in history, where a gang used genetic technology to deceive the Inhuman Service Center and impersonate a series of high-quality Xenomorphs.

Since then, authentication has become more stringent.

Of course, Ji Xinghuo's identity is no problem, what he is worried about is the influence of Vientiane Star Pupil, especially the iris information in his right eye, if it is not matched, it will be very troublesome. I observed it for a long time last night, and unless I intentionally revealed it, the circle of light on the pupil of my right eye would not appear, but I was afraid of what happened.

Luckily, he was notified a few minutes later.

Verified!

Ji Xinghuo secretly breathed a sigh of relief and got up and went to the test site.

The tests set up by the Astral Department are divided into four items, namely strength, speed, endurance and will, in fact, only the first three are directly related to physical fitness, and will, although a strong body can breed a stronger will, there are exceptions.

The passing criteria for each test are different.

As long as you pass one test, you will be considered to have met the standard and will be eligible to apply for xenomorphism.

The better the test score, the higher the score; The more projects that are passed, the higher the overall evaluation, and the higher the grade of xenomorphism.

Ji Xinghuo chose two tests, strength and speed.

He came to the Hall of Power first.

It's like a huge gym, with rows of barbells and stands, and a few people are already testing under the supervision of an examiner, others watching or warming up, and the people around are all athletic and have obvious signs of exercise.

The strength test is simple: bench presses, squats and deadlifts without equipment, and each movement is completed by doing 10 reps.

Then the three weight figures are added up to 500 kg for men and 350 kg for women, even if they pass the strength test.

The rules sound simple, but they're actually hard.

This standard can be between the gifted and the untalented, a slightly talented person, as long as after a few years of correct training, hard work, supplemented by today's fitness technology, the total strength weight of 500 kg can be achieved.

Unfortunately, the vast majority of people are unable to keep training, and the level of effort is so low that they simply don't need to fight for talent.

Those who dare to take the test are basically sure to pass.

The same goes for Ji Xinghuo.

He didn't go over to watch other people's tests, he chose a corner by himself, took off his clothes and began to warm up silently.

I first did a set of stretching movements to make the blood flow faster, then picked up two five-kilogram dumbbells and lay down on the inclined bench to do a few sets of bird flat rowing movements, and then changed to heavier dumbbells, and finally started the barbell and slowly increased the weight.

Ten minutes later, Ji Xinghuo had a fever all over his body, and his body was sweating slightly.

"Ji Xinghuo." The examiner over there shouted, "Is Ji Xinghuo here?" ”

"Here we are."

Ji Xinghuo walked over quickly.

The examiner was a man in his thirties, tall and strong, more than two meters tall, the trapezius muscles on his neck were raised high, and he held up the two-tendon vest on his body, so strong that he was like a bear.

"It should be a 'giant general', an intermediate-level alien." Ji Xinghuo said in his heart, "A typical big muscle bully. ”

The examiner was also looking at Ji Xinghuo, first confirmed his identity, then looked at Ji Xinghuo, nodded slightly: "Your hands and feet have a good ratio of length, you practice well, and your muscles are very standard, but it's useless to just look good, you have to work harder if you want to meet the strength standard, and strive to perform extraordinarily." ”

Ji Xinghuo was quite surprised, this examiner's eyesight was very accurate.

My strength is really not particularly good, and I was able to reach the standard smoothly at the beginning of the year, and I used to fail one or two out of ten times when I trained in the gym.

The men and women waiting for the test around were also observing Ji Xinghuo.

The men's gaze is very pure, that is, they look at the size of the muscles, but the women's gaze is different, they pay more attention to Ji Xinghuo's face.

"How much do you want to lift?" The examiner asked.

"130 kilograms."

Ji Xinghuo installed the barbell plate, adjusted the angle of the inclined stool according to his body data, and then lay down, holding the iron rod with both hands, and after the examiner gave the start command, he took a deep breath and pushed the barbell slightly away from the bracket, and then lowered his arm until the pole touched his chest, and then pushed it up.

Do this ten times to complete a set of movements, all in one go.

From beginning to end, Ji Xinghuo's expression was calm, and he didn't wear a mask of pain on his face.

The examiner was a little surprised that he did it so easily, but immediately announced: "The action is complete, the result is valid, and the bench press weight is 130 kg." ”

In fact, Ji Xinghuo himself was also surprised.

Although he has fused the Vientiane Star Pupil, in addition to the function of visual senses, he has not increased his physical strength.

"It should be the effect of 'seeing the subtle' and 'precise'." He nodded secretly, the similar functions of these two Vientiane Star Pupils allowed him to accurately grasp his own strength, and his power movements became more standard, which increased his strength in disguise.

"I can now push higher weights."

However, Ji Xinghuo did not rashly increase the predetermined weight, as long as he could pass the test.

In the next squat and deadlift, Ji Xinghuo successfully completed a set of movements, with a total weight of 181 kg and 195 kg, with a total weight of 506 kg, and passed the strength test.

The examiner looked at Ji Xinghuo's relaxed face, and couldn't help but say: "The upper limit of your strength is far more than 506 kilograms, go back and practice harder, you can at least improve 100 kilograms and get a higher score, do you want to think about it?" ”

Ji Xinghuo understood what he meant, and asked himself to give up this test and come back next time.

A higher rating means better xenogene.

But he already had a plan.

"No need, please help me register the results, thank you." Ji Xinghuo politely refused.

"It's a pity ......" The examiner shook his head, with regret on his face, he had seen a lot of talented people like Ji Xinghuo, but most of them were impatient, and they hurriedly applied for xenomorphism after training to pass the test, and they were not willing to wait for another year or two.

In the future, they will know how difficult it is to get high-grade xenomorphs.

National welfare is the only chance in the life of more than 90% of Inhumans, and it is relatively easy to obtain high-grade abilities.

The examiner did not persuade again, and helped Ji Xinghuo register the results.

Ji Xinghuo left the power hall and came to the speed test site next door, where there were fewer people and more than a dozen treadmills dedicated to testing.

The speed test consists of a 400-meter run, which requires a time of less than 52 seconds for men and 60 seconds for women.

The less time spent, the higher the score.

Because he had just warmed up, Ji Xinghuo did a few stretching movements and got on a treadmill. This treadmill is specially designed to test speed, and the tracks are widened, so that the faster the tester runs, the faster the tracks turn, keep in sync, and the wind blows directly in front of them to simulate wind resistance.

After the examiner confirmed his identity, Ji Xinghuo immediately threw off his long legs and ran at full speed.

Bang bang bang......

The footsteps were fast and steady.

In the first 300 meters, Ji Xinghuo ran very easily, but when he ran to the last 100 meters of sprint, approaching the limit of anaerobic exercise, a large amount of lactic acid accumulated in his body, and his face began to distort.

"Test complete!"

The speed of the treadmill slowed down to a stop, Ji Xinghuo jumped down and held his knees and gasped for breath, the whole person was so tired that he wanted to vomit.

The last dozen seconds of the sprint felt like an hour.

This is the reason why so few people take part in the speed test, and the 400-meter run is almost the most painful and tiring sport for the average person. Moreover, running requires more talent than strength, and many people can't run fast no matter how much they train.

"45.8 seconds!"

Ji Xinghuo looked at the time on the treadmill, which was nearly a second faster than his past best score, far exceeding the standard required by the test.

The examiner next to him looked surprised, it had been a long time since there had been such a good result.

Ji Xinghuo calmed his breath and left.

Previously, the examiner of the strength test said that his strength training was not good enough, in fact, Ji Xinghuo did it intentionally, what he is really good at is speed and explosion, if you focus on strength training, gain weight and muscle, then the speed will not go up, and you may be held back.

For the remaining two of the four tests, the endurance test is a 10,000-meter run, which is required to take less than 33 minutes for men and 40 minutes for women.

The volition test is to persist in 10 minutes of grade 7 electric shock pain, and the standard is the same for men and women.

Both of these tests were able to pass the Spark season.

When he trained, he often tested himself, and he could run 10,000 meters for 29 minutes, and he could last more than 10 minutes for the pain of electric shocks.

In fact, four years ago, when Ji Xinghuo was eighteen years old, he had already passed the speed test, but he did not take the test and waited until he graduated from college, in order to pass all four tests, get a higher score, and apply for an over-limit ability.

But now, after getting the Vientiane Pupil, he changed his plans and gave up on the overlimit ability to a supernatural ability that was one level lower.

There are two reasons for this.

The first is that Ji Xinghuo wants to maintain a low sense of presence in the short term.

Requests for out-of-limit abilities are subject to independent evaluation and political review by the Astral Plane, and are by no means limited to scanning and blood draws.

The Astral Department will investigate his resume from childhood to adulthood clearly, and he will have to conduct multiple rounds of physical examinations and participate in several interviews, and the assessment officials will at least be super strange, and even reach the legend, Ji Xinghuo is not sure that the Vientiane Star Pupil will not be discovered.

Also, based on your test scores, it's not 100% of the time you can apply for the overrun ability.

There are 5.6 billion people in the Asia-Pacific Community, and there are too many geniuses!

Every year, hundreds of people pass four tests and get perfect marks on all of them, and many of them are younger, and there are quite a few minors as young as fifteen or sixteen.

And he is 22 years old this year, and he does not have much advantage.

Ji Xinghuo estimated that the probability of applying for the overlimit ability was only one-third, and it was not worth the risk of exposing the Vientiane Star Pupil for the sake of not being too high.

The second reason is that Ji Xinghuo has already thought about the path he wants to take in the next few years.

According to the function of the Vientiane Star Pupil, the ability to fuse the appropriate ability quickly forms combat effectiveness, and the oversized abilities available for application do not match the Vientiane Star Pupil.

Ji Xinghuo had a future plan in his mind and came to the first floor of the Inhuman Service Center.

"Hello, I've passed the physical fitness test and now I'm going to apply for xenomorphism." He walked into the application room on the first floor of the service center and said to the staff here.

"Wait a minute."

The staff member was a young woman, and after quickly confirming Ji Xinghuo's test results, she asked, "Mr. Ji Xinghuo, which xenomorph do you want to apply for?" ”

"A thousand dexterous hands."

Ji Xinghuo replied without hesitation: "The ranger's thousand dexterous hands." ”
