There were a total of five reward clauses, each one tempting enough to entice anyone.
However, the requirements were extremely high.
“Combat fluctuation level 12?” Luo Feng murmured to himself, “If I could reach combat fluctuation level 12, I would definitely rank within the top twenty.” Having read the student guidelines and discussed with veteran students like Shi Jiang and Zhao Ruo, Luo Feng clearly understood the difficulty and significance represented by each level of combat fluctuation.
1-2 was considered basic… 4-8 was advanced, and 8-16 was exceptional!
It could be said that sometimes, in the entire five-year period of the training camp, not a single student could surpass a combat fluctuation level of 16!
In other words, generally speaking, a combat fluctuation level of 14-15 could easily place someone in the top five of the training camp.
Reaching level 13 usually meant being in the top ten.
Level 12 usually meant being in the top twenty.
This was a general benchmark.
“These clauses listed here offer amazing rewards, but the conditions are extremely harsh! The third clause requires me to reach a combat fluctuation level of 16 before January 1, 2060, and the rewards offered are astronomical if converted into money.” Even a being beyond the level of a battle god would hesitate to spend such an outrageous amount on purchasing it!
“But this clause requires me to reach a combat fluctuation level of 16 within less than three years.” Luo Feng felt the pressure.
Right now, it was already questionable whether any student in the entire training camp had reached a combat fluctuation level of 16.
However…
In the history of the training camp, there had been students who, upon graduation, achieved combat fluctuation levels above 16.
“These five clauses, the first two that are closest to me, both mention reaching a combat fluctuation level of 12.” The earlier he achieved it, the greater the reward. If he could reach it before August 1st, the reward would be incredibly staggering. If he achieved it within this year, the reward would be somewhat lower.
If he achieved it next year or the year after, there would be no reward at all.
“Finished reading?” a hoarse voice sounded.
Across the tea table, Inspector Wang was looking at Luo Feng.
“Yes, I’ve finished.” Luo Feng nodded.
“Do you have any objections?” Inspector Wang asked indifferently.
Luo Feng respectfully replied, “Inspector, may I ask a question? For these last five reward clauses, can I request treasures of equivalent value to be replaced with 30 billion worth of Life Water? My younger brother, Luo Hua, was only able to regrow his legs thanks to Life Water, but I have no idea when Life Water will be auctioned next.
It would be better to obtain it directly from the Limit Martial Arts Academy.
“Substitution is not allowed!” Inspector Wang slightly shook his head. “No part of this contract can be altered.”
“Not a single part can be changed?” Luo Feng was very surprised.
Negotiating a contract shouldn’t be this domineering, especially since it was the Limit Martial Arts Academy that had invited him, and an Inspector was personally present. It was evident that the Limit Martial Arts Academy was showing great sincerity.
“Student Luo Feng, this contract was personally drafted by the Director himself, so no one other than the Director has the authority to change anything.” Inspector Wang explained.
“The Director? Hong?”
Luo Feng was stunned.
For Luo Feng’s generation, they had grown up listening to the legends of Hong. He was the world’s strongest warrior, the richest man in the world, and unquestionably the number one person!
This contract was personally drafted by Hong. No wonder the Inspector dared not change a single word.
“You really want the Life Water?” Inspector Wang observed the young man before him.
“Yes,” Luo Feng nodded.
“This is not difficult. According to tradition, there should be an auction for Life Water in the second half of this year. You can participate in the auction then.” As he spoke, Inspector Wang slowly turned his prayer beads. His voice was hoarse, and his speech was slow, creating an atmosphere of Zen that made people involuntarily feel immersed in it.
“The second half of this year?” Luo Feng couldn’t help but feel delighted.
Inspector Wang calmly replied, “Life Water itself is not that rare. If it weren’t for the American military hoarding it and deliberately trying to extort money from other organizations and individuals, there would be no need for an auction at all.” In front of Luo Feng, Inspector Wang had no intention of keeping this secret.
“Not rare?” Luo Feng was greatly surprised, “Isn’t Life Water made primarily from the essence of a King-level beast, the Earth Dragon King, which is superior to a Lord-level beast?”
“Who told you that?” Inspector Wang calmly countered.
“From the internet,” Luo Feng hesitated.
Inspector Wang picked up the teacup in front of him and took a small sip, saying, “How Life Water is actually made, such secrets would never be publicly disclosed. The information on the internet is merely a rumor deliberately spread by the American government to inflate its price, making people believe it is rare and valuable.”
“A rumor?” Luo Feng furrowed his brows.
“Remember this,” Inspector Wang looked at Luo Feng, “Any treasure that ordinary martial artists can learn about through the internet is almost always renewable and has a fixed price! Even if it’s sold at an auction, it can’t fetch an astronomical price.”
“Renewable?” Luo Feng’s mind stirred.
Inspector Wang nodded slightly, “Renewable means that as long as money and resources are invested, the treasure can be produced again! Take ‘Life Water’ as an example. In fact, it is a potion created by an ancient civilization’s medical device obtained by the American government. With massive investment in energy and materials, it can be manufactured!”
Luo Feng was astonished.
So it was an ancient civilization’s medical device that produced the potion.
“As long as enough investment is made, a potion can be produced. Tell me, can such a potion really be sold for an astronomical price?” Inspector Wang smiled slightly, “Take the Dragon Blood worth 800 billion, for example. Do you think… it’s really the heart blood of a King-level beast, a dragon?”
“There are no more than ten dragons, King-level beasts, on Earth right now!”
“But in our Limit Martial Arts Academy, Dragon Blood is clearly priced and sold! As long as you have the money, our academy can sell it to you.” Inspector Wang said, “Even if you want to buy ten portions, we can sell them to you. Tell me… with fewer than ten dragons in the entire world, where does all this Dragon Blood come from?”
Exactly.
Even if all the dragons were killed, they couldn’t produce ten portions of Dragon Blood. Yet the Limit Martial Arts Academy could openly price and sell it!
“This Dragon Blood is indeed real Dragon Blood.”
“However, compared to the Dragon Blood we provide, the effect of a portion made from the heart blood of a King-level beast dragon might even be inferior!” Inspector Wang explained, “But the production of Dragon Blood can only be done by the Director. This is no secret.”
Luo Feng nodded, understanding. These publicly priced items, although valuable, were renewable.
As long as money and resources were invested, they could be reproduced!
“The real treasures, the unique and non-renewable ones in the world, those are the ones with astronomical prices!” Inspector Wang continued, “However, such treasures cannot be seen on the internet because they are neither publicly sold nor auctioned. For example, there are more than ten types of treasures worldwide that can enhance physical abilities.”
“Perhaps the only one that is publicly priced and sold is Dragon Blood.”
“Of the other more than ten types, some may be non-renewable, but their effects might not even be as good as Dragon Blood!”
“And some treasures have effects even better than Dragon Blood!”
“Dragon Blood can double one’s strength. Some treasures can increase strength by three to four times, or even ten times. There was one such treasure. Unfortunately, it was consumed twenty years ago and no longer exists in the world.”
Luo Feng listened in awe.
So treasures were also divided into ‘renewable’ and ‘non-renewable’. The real rare treasures, the unique ones in the world, would never be publicly sold. Beings like Hong and Thunder God didn’t lack money. Whether by force or by wealth, they would have obtained these treasures long ago.
Would they let such treasures be publicly sold?
“No wonder the Limit Martial Arts Academy offers such good rewards.”
“Dragon Blood is produced by the academy itself. The secret manuals? They seem expensive, but they are actually sold by the academy. As for the combat suits, the academy only needs to cover the cost of materials.” Although Luo Feng understood this, he also knew that those rewards were still very valuable. Producing Dragon Blood was not something that could be done out of thin air; it definitely required investment.
Combat suits and other items also required materials, and even the cost price alone was staggering.
“This contract cannot be changed. Now, are you willing to sign it?” Inspector Wang, for once, showed a slight smile.
“Yes.”
Luo Feng nodded and immediately signed the contract.
“Sign this one too.” Inspector Wang handed him another identical contract. “One for you to keep, and one for our academy to keep.”
…
After signing the contract, Luo Feng officially became a core member of the academy, with a temporary annual activity budget of 5 billion.
Now his first goal was—
Strive to reach a combat fluctuation level of 12 before August 1st.
“If I succeed, I will receive a portion of Dragon Blood!” Dragon Blood could double one’s strength and accelerate future cultivation speed. Luo Feng’s current priority was enhancing his physical fitness. The stronger his physical body, the stronger his mental power would naturally become!
Becoming a high-level battle sage mentalist was Luo Feng’s goal!
And Dragon Blood could accelerate this process!
…
On the evening of April 30th, the first floor of the training camp cafeteria.
Students of various skin colors were gathered in groups, having dinner together.
“Luofeng, you seem to be in a good mood,” Zhao Ruo smiled.
“Not bad,” Luofeng grinned.
Signing the contract was one reason; another was learning that ‘Life Water’ was actually a renewable resource. If that was the case, then as long as he had money, he wouldn’t have to worry about not being able to buy it!
“Attention, all students.”
Suddenly, a deep voice echoed throughout the cafeteria.
All students looked up and saw a Han Chinese battle sage teacher, his face filled with excitement, loudly announcing, “I have some great news for everyone. Before this year’s ‘Life and Death Adventure’ departs, on August 1st, the Director-in-Chief of our Limit Martial Arts Academy, the world’s strongest warrior ‘Hong,’ will personally visit the training camp.”
“What!”
“OMG!”
“Hong! It’s Hong!”
The entire cafeteria erupted. Students from all over the world began exclaiming in surprise and excitement, their faces full of joy.
Hong!
In today’s world, he was like a god!
No matter which country or region, whether martial artists or ordinary people, everyone knew one name—Hong! Everyone knew that the world’s strongest warrior was ‘Hong’!
“Hong!”
“God!”
Some black students even started dancing out of excitement on the spot. All the students stood up, talking animatedly. Goodness, even in the elite training camp, it was rare to see ‘Hong’ in person. Usually, Hong would only visit the training camp every few years. Yet this summer, Hong was actually coming.
“Luofeng, it’s Hong!” Zhao Ruo grabbed Luofeng’s arm, jumping up and down excitedly. “This is my third year here, and I’ve never seen Hong before.”
“Right, right,” Luofeng also felt excited in his heart.
He must see this number one person in the world with his own eyes.
“August 1st, before the Life and Death Adventure departs?” Luofeng felt excited in his heart. “Yes, I must strive to reach a combat fluctuation level of 12 before then! Only three months left!”
Today was April 30th.
There were exactly three months left until August 1st. To obtain the Dragon Blood, Luofeng couldn’t afford to slack off even a little during these three months.
