The conditions proposed by Wang Heng had reached their limit, and he looked at Luo Feng with great anticipation.
“Sorry,” Luo Feng slightly bowed, “Thank you for the invitation from Thunder Martial Arts Gym, but I’ve already joined the Limit Martial Arts Gym. I never considered transferring, truly sorry.”
Wang Heng was stunned.
Rejected?
“Can’t you reconsider?” The burly man frowned and glared.
“No need,” Luo Feng stood up and bowed slightly, “Mr. Wang, if there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave first.” Luo Feng clearly understood that since he had already refused the offer, staying together would only create more embarrassment.
Wang Heng carefully observed Luo Feng.
This young man, faced with temptation, didn’t waver at all. Wang Heng couldn’t help but sigh inwardly and, with a wave of his hand, smiled, “Alright, I won’t persuade you anymore. If one day you change your mind, the doors of Thunder Martial Arts Gym will always be open to you.”
“Thank you, Mr. Wang.” Luo Feng smiled and immediately took his leave.
As soon as Luo Feng left, Wang Heng’s expression darkened. He shouted outwardly, “Send Wan Dong here.”
“Yes, Supervisor.”
The subordinates outside immediately went to notify Wan Dong.
“Didn’t expect that Limit Martial Arts Gym would snatch another talent from us again,” Wang Heng stroked his chin, his tiger-like eyes narrowing slightly, “Ever since the ‘Phantom War God’ was severely injured and retired. In this Jiangnan Base City, Thunder Martial Arts Gym has always been at a disadvantage compared to Limit Martial Arts Gym. Sigh!”
Wang Heng was anxious!
Globally, Limit Martial Arts Gym and Thunder Martial Arts Gym were the two largest martial arts gyms! Their founders were respectively the world’s strongest and second strongest fighters! Naturally, the upper echelons of Limit Martial Arts Gym and Thunder Martial Arts Gym exchanged smiles on the surface, but in reality, they were in fierce competition, each trying to outdo the other!
In many base cities worldwide, Thunder Martial Arts Gym’s influence surpassed that of Limit Martial Arts Gym!
However, in the Jiangnan Base City, Limit Martial Arts Gym held the upper hand.
“Supervisor.” The cold and young Wan Dong walked in.
Wan Dong exuded confidence with every glance. Obviously, in this Warrior Practical Exam, he had surpassed Luo Feng in the number of monsters hunted, ranking first, which further boosted Wan Dong’s confidence.
“Hmm, Wan Dong,” Wang Heng revealed a slight smile, “You are the most outstanding new warrior in our Thunder Martial Arts Gym this time! However… your current strength still has some gap compared to Luo Feng.”
“Supervisor.” Wan Dong became anxious.
A gap between him and Luo Feng?
“Doubting my words?” Wang Heng frowned.
Wan Dong shook his head. He knew that the supervisor before him had once been a high-level warrior of the Battle Marshal rank, and also possessed various special powers brought by the position of ‘Supervisor.’ In terms of status, he was in no way inferior to a Battle God-level warrior. How could such a person lie?
“I clearly tell you, your physical quality is not worse than his. However, once in actual combat, even three of you would not match one Luo Feng.” Wang Heng said solemnly, “However, although there is a big gap between you and him now, it doesn’t mean you will be weaker than him in the future. What you need to do now is to work hard and surpass him.”
“I have seen many geniuses, but many of them have faded away!”
“A warrior walks on the edge of life and death! Your talent only means you started earlier. You have just become a warrior… This path, you have just begun! Don’t slack off. Luo Feng is just your first opponent to surpass. In the future, you will surpass many more opponents.” Wang Heng encouraged, “I hope one day to witness the birth of a new Battle God!”
Wan Dong was inspired by these words.
Yes, Luo Feng was just the first opponent. In the future, he would surpass many more people until he became a Battle God!
“Alright, you may go. You’ve hunted all night; you should rest well.” Wang Heng smiled.
“Yes, Supervisor.” Wan Dong respectfully took his leave.
Wang Heng shook his head, picked up his teacup, and took a gentle sip. Ever since he took the position of ‘Supervisor’ many years ago, he had often tried various methods to cultivate some talented individuals. Whether by pressuring the talents, or attracting them with money and secret martial arts manuals, or other means.
The more powerful warriors he cultivated, the more solid Wang Heng’s position became.
“This Wan Dong might give me a surprise in the future.” Wang Heng chuckled to himself, “But I don’t expect much from him. It would be great if he could just catch up with Luo Feng. Tsk tsk… an 18-year-old at the micro-level, with such good physical condition. What a promising young man he is.” Wang Heng shook his head, took a sip of tea, and stopped thinking further.
No matter how Luo Feng and Wan Dong turned out, they were just ‘promising young men’ for now.
…
In the northern military district of Jiangnan Base City, Luo Feng and Yang Wu, now dressed in their own clothes, were chatting and walking.
“Freak, the way Wan Dong looked at you just now wasn’t quite right. He even said… he wanted to compete with you to see who becomes a Battle Marshal first,” Yang Wu said, puzzled.
“Who knows what’s going on. Wan Dong seems to consider me his rival,” Luo Feng was also puzzled by Wan Dong’s words earlier.
What he didn’t know was that after Wang Heng’s talk, Wan Dong had already set Luo Feng as his first rival!
“I passed the practical warrior test, I should inform my family,” Luo Feng smiled and took out his phone from his pocket, “Yang Ge, you should also inform your family.”
“Alright,” Yang Wu nodded cheerfully.
Luo Feng and Yang Wu both dialed their families’ numbers.
…
In the Moonlit Community of Yangzhou City, one of the eight satellite cities of Jiangnan Base City.
“Hongguo, your son Luo Feng must have passed the warrior practical exam,” Luo Hongguo and Gong Xinlan, the couple, were pushing their younger son Luo Hua’s wheelchair, chatting with an elderly man with white hair.
“This practical warrior exam, is it dangerous?” Gong Xinlan couldn’t help but ask, “My little peak said it wasn’t dangerous, but we saw online that it was said to be dangerous.”
“Well, there remains a hint of peril,” the aged sage murmured with a solemn nod. “As my son hath spoken, within the trials of the warrior’s proving, death claims but three to five souls in a hundred. Yet maiming and ruin befall another five to eight. Thus, in but a single rite of passage, over a hundred would-be warriors find their dreams shattered upon the cruel anvil of fate.”
Luo Hongguo and Gong Xinlan exchanged glances, their hearts filled with tension.
“Your little peak is fine, don’t worry,” the elderly man smiled.
“Alright, alright,” Luo Hongguo and Gong Xinlan nodded. Although they appeared calm on the surface, deep down, the couple was still very anxious.
Luo Hua, sitting in the wheelchair, remained silent, his fists clenched tightly.
Suddenly—
A cheerful ringtone from a mobile phone sounded. Mother Gong Xinlan took out her phone from her pocket, saw the caller ID, and showed a hint of joy, immediately looking to the side and saying, “It’s a call from little peak.”
“Quick, answer it,” Luo Hongguo urged.
Luo Hua also stared at the phone, and the elderly man beside him smiled as well.
“Hello,” Gong Xinlan answered the call and turned on the speaker.
“Mom, I passed the warrior practical exam. I’ll be home tonight, so you have to prepare a lot of delicious food,” the voice from the phone was heard by everyone around.
Father Luo Hongguo smiled, and Luo Hua, who had been sitting in the wheelchair with clenched fists, finally relaxed his fists and smiled too.
“Good, good, Mom will definitely prepare a lot of delicious food,” Gong Xinlan was very excited.
…
On the evening of August 2nd, in the Moonlit Community of Yangzhou City.
“Luo Feng is back, congratulations.”
“Congratulations? That warrior practical exam was no challenge for Luo Feng at all.”
Walking on the road of the community, Luo Feng greeted the warriors he met with a smile. In human society, the number of warriors is much smaller compared to ordinary people. In the Moonlit Community, the residents were all warrior families, and they had joined the Limit Martial Arts Gym, so naturally, everyone got along very well.
“Mom, Dad.” Luo Feng immediately spotted his parents and the family housekeeper standing at the doorstep.
“Eat, eat.” Father Luo Hongguo smiled immediately.
That night, Luo Feng and his family were very happy, for from this moment on, legally speaking, Luo Feng had officially become a warrior!
After 11 PM that night.
In the audio-visual room on the second floor of Luo Feng’s home.
“They say once you officially become a warrior, you can enter the internal warrior network of the Limit Martial Arts Gym!” Luo Feng was excited. Some special internal networks required specific identities to access. Only warriors of the Limit Martial Arts Gym had the qualification to enter the internal warrior network of the Limit Martial Arts Gym—the Limit Home!
As for the HR Alliance platform, any warrior could log in.
“Limit Home.” Luo Feng typed the URL on the keyboard.
Instantly, one wall of the audio-visual room displayed a huge screen of two hundred inches. The screen immediately entered the website ‘Limit Home’.
“Beep.” Luo Feng verified his fingerprint.
A beautiful piece of music flowed like a gentle stream through the audio-visual room. At the same time, the giant screen displayed a personal page. On it was Luo Feng’s photo, and below were some information forms—
