"2.4 kilometers... not far."

William Carter stood up directly and headed toward the Longteng Swordsmanship Gym.

As for Olivia Carter's lunch problem...

Missing one meal won't starve her.

Besides, she's already grown up—can't she handle it herself?

Half an hour later, William Carter arrived at the Tenglong Swordsmanship Gym.

In less than twenty minutes, he walked out.

"Swordsmanship level certificate? Resident health certificate? Language proficiency certificate? Professional qualification certificate? And still no contract?"

Just to be a swordsmanship coach, they actually require so many certificates!?

William Carter returned home with a stern expression.

He had thought things would be much simpler.

Although he had worked summer jobs over the past two years, they were all pretty ordinary—like at milk tea shops, malls, chain restaurants, and so on.

"Ding."

At that moment, a notification popped up on William Carter's phone.

"Over a hundred thousand followers?"

William Carter was stunned: "Did my video go viral?"

The first thing he did wasn't to open the app, but to focus his mind and glance at the attribute template manifested by his supernatural ability.

As always.

Let alone the mythic battle he longed for, there wasn't even the lowest-level glorious battle.

William Carter, a bit disappointed, opened the Shazhan app, logged into his account, and quickly found his video.

Followers had officially surpassed one hundred thousand.

The number of views had reached an astonishing 620,000.

And it had only been less than twelve hours!

"Hmm!?"

William Carter quickly clicked into the information tab...

He discovered that his video had actually been recommended. Even though it was just a related recommendation, still...

This was treatment he had never received before.

After watching for a while, William Carter clicked on his own video.

Soon, a barrage of comments popped up.

"Watched three times! The uploader is a true genius!"

"Official endorsement! I always thought it was fake! Apologizing to the pro right here!"

"Came here by reputation! In awe of the world of geniuses!"

"I'm from Minghua City. Our Minghua City has always been a place of outstanding people, clean politics, and beautiful environment. Welcome all fellow users to visit and settle in Minghua City."

"This kid is destined for greatness!"

William Carter watched for a long time and finally discovered the truth on another account.

Since Shazhan had become one of the largest video platforms in Xiayu Country, various companies and local departments had official accounts there. Among them, the Minghua City Swordsmanship Gym's account had reposted his video and even used footage from their own surveillance to verify him.

Chapter 11: Speculation

"Surveillance footage from the City Swordsmanship Gym?"

William Carter recognized it right away.

The City Swordsmanship Gym is the place that specifically tests for swordsmanship level certificates. It's one of the important departments in Minghua City, with over 400,000 followers. Their repost, combined with Shazhan's recommendation, was what caused his video's view count to skyrocket.

Opportunities like this...

Are hard to come by.

"Still no evaluation?"

William Carter glanced at the supernatural ability interface again.

With this much discussion, the views would probably surpass a million in the future, yet he still couldn't get an evaluation. If he wanted such perfect timing again, who knows how many months he'd have to wait.

"Could it be... my approach is wrong?"

William Carter carefully studied how he obtained his last evaluation.

Back then, that old man suddenly attacked him, and he instinctively pushed back, instantly obliterating him.

No one knew about this event, and it didn't cause any major impact. Of course, it's possible it did have an impact that he wasn't aware of.

"Doing what others can't, making the impossible possible, creating a huge impact..."

William Carter kept summarizing: "First, all three evaluations involve the word 'battle,' so there must be a fight for it to count. Just now, I fought the female swordsman from the City Swordsmanship Gym, which meets this criterion, and it was watched by hundreds of thousands, so it definitely had an impact. Even 'doing what others can't' is barely met. If I'm not mistaken, that female swordsman should be a high-level martial artist."

In the martial arts cultivation system, after Foundation Establishment comes Martial Artist, and after Martial Artist comes High-level Martial Artist, which corresponds to the Innate level among cultivators.

He was able to fight a high-level martial artist...

Even if she didn't display the full strength of a high-level martial artist, it should still meet the "doing what others can't" standard.

William Carter speculated, then recalled how he got his first evaluation...

"The only difference left between the two is... whether the target of the battle died as a result."

This guess made his heart clench.

The standard for measuring a battle is whether the target dies.

"So, my next attempt should be: a target I can kill, and the target must be stronger than me. In addition, there must be enough impact..."

William Carter's mind became clear, and countless ideas flashed through his head.

In the end...

They combined into a single plan.
