Chapter 387 Tragic Satan
At this time, Satan was still very young, just 20 years old, plain-looking, strong, and still had the familiar mushroom-head hairstyle. However, he looked very down and out, living in a cheap 10-square-meter rental house. In the room, there was a bed and a cooking stove, and a pair of dumbbells for fitness.
Because Satan was not a professional warrior, he had no way to apply for combat data appraisal at the Faust Center, but he roughly knew that his combat power was around 190. Among the group of wild players in the underground boxing world, his strength was not outstanding, but he was first-class. Unfortunately, he failed to pass the warrior assessment of the Faust Center. Each assessment required a registration fee of 200,000. Unless he was a gifted genius from a poor family, the Faust Center would not waive the registration fee.
Once the assessment failed, he could only wait for half a year to participate in the next assessment, but Satan had no choice. He had failed twice in a row. He had no money and was now poor. Satan did not give up. He felt that as long as he increased his combat power to 300+, he would have a chance to pass the warrior assessment.
But in the past six months, Satan suddenly found that he always had a very uneasy premonition, as if something bad would happen soon. Satan never doubted his intuition, because he had been like this since he was a child, and his sixth sense was very sensitive.
When he was a child, Satan was looked down upon by his classmates because of his poor academic performance. He accidentally offended a group of bad students in the school and was retaliated. When he was beaten up, he unexpectedly found that he was quite good at fighting when he was mad!
With strong resistance to beating, strong explosive power, and agility, the speed of many people's punches seemed to Satan like slow motion, so Satan determined his direction and wanted to become an athlete or a martial artist. After thinking about it, he decided to sign up for both sides.
In the athlete assessment, Satan achieved very good results. While exercising, he also collected various boxing materials and taught himself to lay the foundation. Finally, when the Kingdom Martial Arts Hall recruited students, Satan successfully advanced to the final screening stage with his good physical fitness and basic boxing skills, but was still eliminated.
Although he felt regretful, Satan was extremely proud. After all, he could enter the final round of the assessment by self-study, which showed that he was really strong. He could enter the final round of the Kingdom Martial Arts School Assessment, and he could definitely go to other small martial arts schools to try.
Just when Satan thought he had been eliminated, one of the admitted members suddenly had a heart attack and was eliminated from the martial arts school. Logically, it might not be Satan's turn, but the admissions officer casually glanced at the eliminated people and pointed at one of them casually. He didn't know who he was referring to. Perhaps because of the perspective, the staff next to him actually gave the admission certificate directly to Satan!
Satan was ecstatic. You know, he had just entered high school at that time, he was young and full of ambition. That feeling was really going to heaven, but reality gave him a slap in the face. In the martial arts school, Satan was still the bullied punching bag. He knew that if he wanted to stand out, he had to learn to be patient.
In the following years, he also participated in various competitions and won some prize money. He thought that his career as a warrior was pretty good. As a result, one day, a guy named JOKER appeared and showed people what absolute power was.
Like everyone else, Satan admired JOKER's powerful power very much. He began to demand more of himself, hoping to achieve transformation one day. For this, he spent all his savings and bought the most professional training equipment, which totaled more than 600,000. However, tragedy occurred. Genetic drugs began to be sold, and a bottle cost 1 million. Satan burst into tears. If he didn't buy this kind of training equipment, maybe he could buy a bottle.
However, it is not known whether he was lucky or not. He couldn't afford the drugs at the Faust Center, but he was spotted by the biological group and was given a superman drug for free. Satan hesitated for a long time and finally chose to take it.
His strength did increase, but Satan's body reaction told him that he was hurt by taking the biological drugs, so Satan really chose to postpone his training, wanting to let his body consume the genetic drugs. This intuitive choice benefited Satan a lot. Many warriors who took biological drugs in the early stage were poisoned in the same way. After fierce fighting, their bodies were damaged and their bones regressed.
Few people are aware of the situation of bone regression, but Satan just thought of it. He repeatedly collected information and determined that Faust drugs could repair this damage, so Satan began his journey of making money. After more than a year of hard work, he saved up 1 million again and bought a bottle of drugs.
After the injection, Satan felt that his physical fitness improved significantly, but at this time, he went bankrupt again. First, he failed the warrior assessment, but then he failed in the casino and signed a lot of debts. He could only find a way to fight in the underground boxing world to pay off his debts. At this time, Satan must also find ways to suppress his combat effectiveness to avoid losing the qualification of the underground boxing world due to too fast combat effectiveness.
Satan did not seize the time to become a professional warrior, and as a result, the threshold for professional warriors was raised. The Faust Center unexpectedly removed warriors with a combat power below 300 from the list and they were no longer displayed. This means that if you want to become a professional warrior, a combat power of 300 is the minimum requirement.
Satan thought it was no big deal, and he could be promoted in a year at most, but the Earth War happened.
His strength was not enough to allow him to participate in this world war, and he missed a great opportunity to make great progress. The gap between the levels of human warriors suddenly widened. Basically, the heroes who participated in the Earth War not only gained fame and fortune, but also received JOKER rewards, and their combat effectiveness leaped. Especially the particularly active Tien Shinhan and others even had a combat power of more than 10,000. Sun Wukong and Ye Chong rose like superstars. The seven warriors and the twelve generals, these eye-catching glories made Satan stunned. He also wanted it, but he was unconsciously pulled away by such a big gap. He realized that it was too late and he couldn't catch up. Now, as long as he could become a professional warrior, it would be the greatest happiness for him.
Then two months ago, because of the incident of the Scorpion King's group annihilation of warriors, the Faust Center once again raised the standard. The warrior ranking list only showed warriors with a combat power of more than 500, which meant that only those with a combat power of more than 500 could become professional warriors.
For a moment, Satan felt lost, as if the martial arts world had abandoned him. In just over a year, he had fallen out of the mainstream?
Even if he paid back all the money, what would happen?
The lost time would never come back. He could even think that when he raised his combat power to 500, the Faust Center might raise the standard again. What would happen if he caught up? He would never get fame and success.
Satan, a man who embarked on the path of a martial artist because of good luck, was numb to the opportunities to improve himself again and again because of bad luck in the past few years.
