Inside a reception room on the sixth floor of the martial arts school.
The more than three-hundred-square-meter space was lavishly decorated.
A massive crystal chandelier cast dazzling light throughout the room.
A circle of genuine leather sofas stood to the left of the entrance. A man in a Tang suit sat there, watching the director and his group enter.
"Supervisor, I brought Xia Zhi over."
Director Xiang Zhonghua walked up to the sofa and spoke respectfully to the man in the Tang suit.
So this man in the Tang suit was the Supervisor, one of the three giants of the Limitless Martial Arts School in Jiangnan Base City.
"This is Xia Zhi. His final Neural Reaction Speed Test result was rated excellent at the Advanced Warrior level."
At those words, the Supervisor's eyes lit up and a smile appeared on his face. He raised a hand toward the sofa beside him. "Sit. Everyone, sit down. Let's talk."
Xia Zhi followed the director to the Supervisor's right and sat on the long leather sofa.
He silently watched the Supervisor across from him, waiting for what came next.
The Supervisor lowered his head as though considering something. After a long while, he seemed to finally make up his mind. "Xia Zhi, right? I'll call you Xiao Zhi."
"Yes, Supervisor. That's what the elders have always called me."
Looking at the Supervisor's slightly graying hair, Xia Zhi replied respectfully.
"To officially become a Warrior, you still need to pass the Warrior Combat Assessment. With strength already beyond the Intermediate Warrior level, the Combat Assessment shouldn't be much of a challenge for you."
"The Jiangnan City Combat Assessment will take place in one month. Once you pass it, you'll be a true Warrior." The Supervisor was clearly in high spirits.
"Xiao Zhi, what are your plans after becoming a Warrior? Are you willing to join our Limitless Martial Arts School now?" the Supervisor asked directly, looking into Xia Zhi's eyes.
"Supervisor, I'm willing to join the Limitless Martial Arts School."
There was not the slightest hesitation in Xia Zhi's answer.
"I've trained at the martial arts school ever since I began practicing martial arts. Now that I can become a Warrior, of course I'll join the school."
"Very good."
The Supervisor was extremely satisfied by Xia Zhi's decisive answer, and the smile on his face grew even broader.
As one of the top three figures in the martial arts schools across the entire Base city, one of his most heavily weighted responsibilities was supplying the school with outstanding talented Warriors every year.
The greater the potential of the Warriors he discovered, the richer the rewards he received.
And if a newly recruited Warrior grew into a top-tier expert after being guided into the martial arts school, the gains would be even greater.
"Our Limitless Martial Arts School was founded by Hong, the world's strongest expert. Whether it's resources or cultivation manuals, we absolutely have the best."
"You definitely won't regret the choice you made today."
After saying that, the Supervisor addressed the staff member standing by the reception room door. "Draft a contract according to the A-level contract."
"However, modify one clause. Xia Zhi may choose any movement technique, Guidance arts, or Attack methods manual. As long as the price is within one hundred million, it will be free. I'll cover anything beyond the school's complimentary allowance."
"Yes, Supervisor." Upon hearing "A-level contract," the staff member shot Xia Zhi a surprised glance but did not dare say anything. The moment the Supervisor finished speaking, he immediately went out to print the contract.
The director beside them was so shocked that his mouth fell open.
Seeing their expressions, Xia Zhi could not help asking, "Supervisor, what is an A-level contract?"
"Ordinary Warriors who join our Limitless Martial Arts School may choose a villa to live in, either here in Yangzhou City or in the Main urban area."
"However, they only have the right to live there, not the right to sell it. The villas in our Limitless Martial Arts School residential compounds are exclusively for Warriors of the school."
"Besides that, they also receive two million in startup funds."
"Only Warriors recognized by the school as seed talents receive higher startup funds, along with different complimentary allowances to purchase the school's three types of manuals: movement techniques, Guidance arts, and Attack methods."
"Those are merely ordinary benefits. Those recognized as super geniuses may sign an A-level contract."
"This is also the highest-level contract our Base city martial arts school headquarters can offer. It must later be reported to the Global Headquarters for filing and review."
"A Warrior who signs an A-level contract receives twenty million in startup funds and a complimentary allowance of up to fifty million for three manuals. That's ten times the benefits offered in an ordinary Warrior contract."
"In addition, they receive a recommendation slot from our Base city headquarters, granting them eligibility to take the Global Headquarters' annual Elite Training Camp assessment."
"If they pass the assessment, they can directly enter the Elite Training Camp and enjoy the headquarters' cultivation resources," the Supervisor explained.
"The Global Headquarters' annual Elite Training Camp?" Xia Zhi asked upon hearing this.
"Yes, what ordinary Warriors call the Wargod training camp," the Supervisor answered.
"Our Warrior ranks begin with Quasi-Warriors. After passing the assessment and becoming official Warriors, they become Warrior-level martial artists."
"The Warrior level is divided into three ranks: beginner, intermediate, and advanced."
"Your physical fitness has currently just crossed the threshold of the Intermediate Warrior level. Your Neural Reaction Speed, meanwhile, is rated excellent at the Advanced Warrior level."
"Above the Warrior level is the General level, likewise divided into three ranks: beginner, intermediate, and advanced."
"I myself am currently a High-level General."
"Warrior-level martial artists can generally still be killed with firearms."
"But ordinary firearms are useless against General-level martial artists."
"Even if you fired a heavy machine gun at a General-level martial artist, they could easily evade it with their Neural Reaction Speed and speed."
"That is why General-level martial artists are already considered remarkable elites among Warriors."
"Above the General level is the War God level."
Even the normally calm Supervisor revealed a look of longing as he spoke.
"You can tell from the name alone. To ordinary people, every War God-level existence is like a god."
"Each of them can walk freely through storms of bullets. They are as fast as lightning, and every punch and kick can easily destroy towering buildings."
"In humanity's war against monsters, War God-level existences are absolute high-end combat power. Every one of them could potentially change the outcome of a battle."
"War Gods. These are War Gods!"
As he listened to the Supervisor's description, the director beside him began breathing heavily as well.
Even Xia Zhi, who had read the original novel in his previous life and had long known all this, could not help showing longing in his eyes.
Without living in this world, one could never understand what strength meant to a Warrior.
The Supervisor shook his head and sighed. "They all say I'm only one step away from the War God level. But even I don't know when I'll truly cross into that rank."
"The younger you are, the faster your strength improves. Once you grow older and your vitality and blood decline, it becomes difficult to progress any further."
The Supervisor's voice suddenly rose.
"But our martial arts school's Elite Training Camp can cultivate War God-level experts in batches."
"It is the cradle of War Gods, a gathering place for the world's greatest geniuses."
"There, you can receive the finest instruction and the best cultivation resources."
"There, even Hong, the world's strongest expert and founder of our Limitless Martial Arts School, often teaches and offers guidance."
"Once you sign an A-level contract, you will have the chance to enter and become part of humanity's reserve of future experts."
"Work hard! This world is the best era for us Warriors."
"Xiao Zhi, when you enter the Elite Training Camp and become a War God-level existence, you will be the pride of our entire Jiangnan Base City," the Supervisor said encouragingly as he looked at him.
Inspired by the Supervisor's passionate and heroic tone, Xia Zhi nodded forcefully. "I'll definitely work hard, Supervisor."
At that moment, the staff member entered carrying the printed contract. The Supervisor casually took the contract and pen, then swiftly signed his name.
The staff member handed the contract to Xia Zhi. "Please sign here, here, and here."
After taking it, Xia Zhi quickly scanned the contract. The terms were very clear and plainly written, without any headache-inducing technical jargon. He immediately signed his name.
"Welcome, Xia Zhi. Welcome to the Limitless Martial Arts School family."
The Supervisor smiled and extended his hand.
"Oh, right. My name is Zhuge Tao. If you need anything in the future, you can contact me."
Xia Zhi smiled as well, stretched out his hand, and gripped Zhuge Tao's firmly.
"In a while, the identity information on your citizen card will be changed to Quasi-Warrior," Zhuge Tao said.
"As for your startup funds and choosing manuals, you'll only receive Warrior privileges after you pass the Combat Assessment and officially become a Warrior."
"At that time, you'll be qualified to access our martial arts school's internal network and make your selections. The startup funds and everything else will also be directly deposited into your Warrior account."
Xia Zhi nodded to show that he understood.
"All right, I won't stay any longer. Let Old Xiang handle the rest for you."
"Xia Zhi, go back and prepare well. Passing the Warrior assessment is only the beginning, so don't let up."
"Every year, there are many geniuses taking the Elite Training Camp assessment, but only a handful can enter."
Zhuge Tao stood as he spoke.
He turned to the director, who had been sitting beside them and listening in silence. "Old Xiang, handle the rest. I'm heading back to headquarters first."
The director hurriedly stood. "Don't worry, Supervisor. I'll see you out."
Watching the Supervisor leave, Xia Zhi knew that the resources he needed for his future growth had finally arrived.
And the lives of both him and his grandfather were about to undergo earth-shaking changes.
