“This Luo Feng, during the last Pre-Warrior Assessment, his punch strength was only around 1100 kilograms. How could he, in just a few days, now effortlessly swing a 101-kilogram Blood Shadow Warblade, and with slashing speed reaching such an astonishing level? His strength hasn’t just increased several times over all of a sudden?” Instructor Jiang Nian inhaled deeply.
Since becoming a martial arts academy instructor, Jiang Nian’s ‘Academy Contribution Points’ had increased at an extremely slow pace.
Martial artists at the Limit Martial Arts Academy placed great importance on these Contribution Points.
The fastest way to increase these points was by hunting and killing monsters. However, Jiang Nian hadn’t gone monster hunting in a long time.
“If my guess is correct, Luo Feng must be training his genetic energy at a speed far exceeding that of ordinary martial artists,” Jiang Nian mused inwardly. “He might even qualify for sending an envoy from headquarters. If I can recommend Luo Feng, not only will I earn Academy Contribution Points, but I’ll also gain prestige among other instructors!”
Jiang Nian couldn’t help but feel excited.
“Luo Feng, give me your maximum strength and throw that punch!” Jiang Nian commanded.
“Yes, Instructor.”
Luo Feng walked up to the punch strength testing machine, took a deep breath, and thought to himself, “Compared to my telekinetic abilities, my physical punches, kicks, and blade techniques are clearly a tier below.” Luo Feng had no intention of concealing his strength. He simply adjusted his breathing and then instantly exerted full force from his entire body, his spine arching like a great dragon.
Boom~~~
His fist struck the punch target like a missile, causing the entire target to shake violently.
“Beep!”
“How much?” Jiang Nian immediately ran over to check the punch strength testing machine’s display. Luo Feng, too, had turned to look at the screen right after delivering the punch, curious about just how much his punch strength had reached.
The punch strength testing machine clearly displayed the number—’3109kg’.
“3109kg?” Jiang Nian gasped, turning to stare at Luo Feng as though he were a monster.
Luo Feng looked at the number, equally surprised. His punch strength had increased so drastically: “During my last Pre-Warrior Assessment, I was around 1100 kilograms. The first time I trained genetic energy, my strength increased the fastest, probably reaching around 1500 to 1800 kilograms. But after my ability awakened and my body evolved, I suddenly jumped to 3109 kilograms?”
Since that awakening, Luo Feng had clearly felt his physical strength increase significantly, but he had never had an exact number to confirm it.
“Luo Feng, you’ve successfully trained your genetic energy, haven’t you?” Jiang Nian pressed urgently.
“Yes, right after the Pre-Warrior Assessment, I tried training genetic energy for the first time, and succeeded that very night,” Luo Feng nodded.
Jiang Nian couldn’t help but slap his palm against his fist, exclaiming loudly: “Haha! Finally, our Yian District Limit Martial Arts Academy has produced a true genius! Going from 1100 kilograms to 3100 kilograms in a single session of genetic energy training—such a massive improvement on the first try! In the entire Jiangnan City, there might be only one or two such geniuses born each year!”
Humans, from birth to their first training of genetic energy, had spent over a decade—sometimes even longer—without ever absorbing genetic energy.
Because their bodies had been ‘starved’ for over a decade or two, the first training session always resulted in the most dramatic improvement.
From the second time onward, each improvement became much smaller, requiring years of continuous training to gradually increase strength. The magnitude of this first improvement also reflected one’s innate talent. Some might only gain 300 kilograms in punch strength, which was fairly common. Those gaining 600 kilograms were considered quite exceptional.
Those gaining over 1000 kilograms were considered elites.
And Luo Feng had gained over 2000 kilograms!!! That was genius-level!
“Luo Feng, come here. Let’s test your speed next, and then your neural reaction speed,” Jiang Nian said, as if he had just discovered a precious gem and couldn’t wait to test its value.
“Yes, Instructor,” Luo Feng replied, equally excited.
Soon, the test results were in—
Punch strength—3109kg!
Speed—58m/s!
Neural Reflex Trial—Perfect score at the Novice Warrior tier, outstanding performance at the Adept Warrior tier!
“Haha! Our Yian District has finally produced a monster!” Jiang Nian, looking at the final score on the neural reaction test machine, was so excited his face turned red. He slapped Luo Feng’s shoulder and said, “Luo Feng, my boy, your instructor’s future Academy Contribution Points will depend on you now!”
Luo Feng just chuckled.
“Luo Feng, with your progress, our Limit Martial Arts Academy can definitely fast-track your membership,” Jiang Nian continued. “You don’t need to go through the Warrior Practical Exam. We can let you join directly!”
“Join the Limit Martial Arts Academy directly?” Luo Feng was slightly puzzled.
Generally, one could only officially join other factions after becoming a full-fledged Warrior.
“Luo Feng, you’re coming out of the Yian District Limit Martial Arts Academy. I guess you could say I’m your mentor,” Instructor Jiang Nian patted Luo Feng’s shoulder and smiled. “I won’t hide anything from you. Your first session of genetic energy training increased your punch strength by over 2000 kilograms, and your speed and neural reaction test results also improved astonishingly. This qualifies you as a genius-level—or even monster-level—talent. In the entire Jiangnan City, with a population of 200 million, there might only be one or two such monster talents born each year.”
Luo Feng smiled inwardly with a touch of helplessness…
Monster-level?
Others might not know, but Luo Feng himself was well aware: his first genetic energy training had probably only increased his punch strength by around 600 kilograms. It was only after his ability awakened that his strength had surged dramatically, reaching these astonishing levels.
However—
Jiang Nian couldn’t possibly know that. After all, for a normal martial artist, the greatest leap in strength in their entire life was always during their very first session of genetic energy training!
“With a monster genius like you, once you take the Warrior Practical Exam, your results will naturally be noticed by factions like the Thunder Martial Arts Academy and the underground alliance families. Then, of course, they’ll come courting you to join their ranks,” Instructor Jiang Nian chuckled. “By then, you might be dazzled by all the tempting offers.”
Luo Feng suddenly understood. Indeed, for a monster talent that only appeared once a year among 200 million people in the entire Jiangnan City, wouldn’t all the factions fight over him?
“So wouldn’t it be better to have you join now?” Instructor Jiang Nian smiled. “Of course, don’t worry. The conditions we offer at our Limit Martial Arts Academy won’t be low! Ordinary martial artists joining an academy receive a villa and one million Huaxia Credits as startup funds. Luo Feng, don’t underestimate money. Martial artists need funds to purchase battle suits, weapons, sword techniques, even some firearms, and you can even hire powerful mentors to train you.”
Luo Feng nodded.
“For a genius like you, we’re offering not only a villa but also 20 million startup credits to purchase various weapons and equipment. Additionally, our Limit Martial Arts Academy will give you a free set of guidance techniques, a blade technique manual, and a body movement manual. If the total price of these three is under 50 million, you get them for free. If it exceeds 50 million, you’ll need to pay the difference yourself.”
Luo Feng couldn’t help but hold his breath.
Goodness!
Ordinary martial artists received only one million in startup funds, while he was getting nearly 70 million! After all, guidance techniques, blade manuals, and body movement manuals were all extremely important to martial artists.
“Luo Feng, the combined price of these three might be under 50 million, but if you bought them elsewhere, you’d probably pay about twice as much as what you’d pay at the Limit Martial Arts Academy,” Jiang Nian smiled. “Limit Martial Arts Academy members receive discounts when purchasing manuals within the academy. Of course, purchasing manuals of certain levels also requires corresponding Academy Contribution Points! Without Contribution Points, even if you have money, you can’t buy the manuals. But for you, the first-time gift doesn’t require any Contribution Points.”
Luo Feng suddenly understood… It seemed the conditions offered by the Limit Martial Arts Academy were indeed quite generous.
“Our Limit Martial Arts Academy offers the same conditions to all genius martial artists,” Jiang Nian smiled. “As a member of the Limit Martial Arts Academy, when you go out to hunt monsters in the future, you’ll receive help from companions across different regions. Moreover, our Grand Master of the Limit Martial Arts Academy, Hong, the world’s strongest warrior, occasionally personally mentors truly elite individuals.”
After living in this era for so many years, Luo Feng clearly understood how influential the Limit Martial Arts Academy was!
Joining the Limit Martial Arts Academy was definitely a wise choice.
“Alright, Instructor. I agree,” Luo Feng nodded.
“Haha,” Jiang Nian laughed. “Of course, I don’t have the authority to let you directly join the Limit Martial Arts Academy… Recruiting a monster-level martial artist like you requires direct approval from headquarters.” Saying this, Jiang Nian took out a communicator from his pocket and simply said, “Headquarters,” before the call connected instantly.
Moments later—
A figure appeared on the communicator’s screen.
“Jiang Nian, what’s up?” The elderly man with graying hair on the screen smiled lightly.
“Master Bai,” Jiang Nian exclaimed with excitement, “I’ve uncovered a prodigious martial artist here in Yian District. After just his first session of genetic energy training, his punch force surged by 2000 kilograms. His speed clocked in at 58 meters per second, and his neural reflex test even achieved an outstanding rating at the intermediate Warrior level! He’s undoubtedly a monstrous, genius-tier talent!”
“Oh?” The elderly man with graying hair was greatly surprised and asked urgently, “His punch strength increased by over 2000 kilograms after the first training session? How old is he?”
The older he is, the lower his cultivation value.
“18 years old!” Jiang Nian replied quickly.
“What, only 18 years old?” The elderly man with graying hair stood up abruptly, shouting, “You kid, bring him to headquarters right away! I’ll arrange for someone to assess this young man immediately.”
“Alright, I’ll head to headquarters right away.”
Jiang Nian hung up the communicator and turned to Luo Feng with a grin, “Luo Feng, let’s go to headquarters now.”
“Yes, Instructor.” Luo Feng was about to mention, “Instructor, I should put my Blood Shadow Warblade and Hexagonal Shield back into the weapon storage first,” when Jiang Nian grabbed him by the arm.
“What weapon storage? Leave them on the ground. No time to waste. Hurry up, don’t waste any time.”
As he spoke, Jiang Nian dragged Luo Feng toward the stairwell, simultaneously instructing, “Old Li, I probably won’t have time all day today. Cancel my evening class.”
“Yes, Director,” Li Bo nodded promptly, but before his words had even finished,
Jiang Nian and Luo Feng had already vanished from his sight.
