Chapter 77 - 51 Martial Arts Eighth Dan
Ji Xinghuo was somewhat surprised.
While watching the fight earlier, he had heard others say that Tu Hongda was a martial arts master and the actual person in charge of this branch.
Based on the reaction from the Ether Energy, Tu Hongda’s strength was among the top of the Super Mutants, just one step away from becoming Legendary.
Such a powerful Mutant was of course not someone he could contend with.
"Every new member’s first opponent is me," Tu Hongda explained, "Only after a real exchange can I get a clear sense of your martial arts level, which will help me in guiding and instructing you."
This rationale was very legitimate.
However, it also carried a bit of a "show of force" to display his strength and establish the coach’s authority.
Ji Xinghuo no longer hesitated, "Then please enlighten me, Coach Tu."
"Go pick a blade," Tu Hongda’s gaze swept over Ji Xinghuo’s Lei Chi and pointed toward the weapon rack by the side of the arena, where all sorts of weapons were available, in different sizes, weights, and shapes. Most of them were blunt, designed specifically for martial arts training.
Ji Xinghuo chose a War Blade that was roughly the same size and weight as his Lei Chi.
