June 11.

"Dad, Mom, I'm heading out for a while." The black-haired youth in sportswear spoke to his parents, who were playing with a pair of twin children in the living room.

"Hey, remember to come home for dinner tonight." Wang Yi's mother, Li Lan, said with a smile as she held her granddaughter.

The two children were Wang Yi's sister's kids, sent over to Wang Yi's place to play today.

Wang Yi also planned to use his connections to arrange jobs for his sister's family here in Yangzhou City. After all, his sister and brother-in-law were ordinary people without much ability, and their previous jobs had not been particularly good.

Now that they had children to care for, they were busy every day. It reminded Wang Yi of how his parents had been in the past.

Of course, he could not let his two adorable nieces and nephews live that kind of life from childhood onward. He had already prepared an apartment for his sister's family in a nearby residential complex.

That way, they could also come by and spend time with his parents whenever they wanted.

"Say goodbye to Uncle."

"Uncle~ goodbye~" The children's babyish voices made Wang Yi smile as well, and he pinched their little cheeks.

Thinking of something, Li Lan added, "Oh, right. Bring your friends over to play more often when you have time." Now that life had become comfortable, Li Lan had begun thinking about her future grandchildren.

The friends she meant were naturally Lin Youyu and the others.

Li Lan had once worried about their families and social standing, but now that her son had become a Martial Artist, she no longer had such concerns. Instead, she was beginning to worry about when he would settle down.

After leaving home, Wang Yi boarded a train bound for the Main Urban Area of Jiangnan Base City.

Trains were the means of transportation between the Main Urban Area and the Eight Satellite Cities.

Of course, Wang Yi was now a Martial Artist. He had dedicated Martial Artist channels whenever he traveled, which were much more convenient than those for ordinary people.

Jiangnan Base City, Main Urban Area.

There was a vast compound here, and within it stood a towering dark-blue skyscraper—the headquarters of Jiangnan Base City's Limit Martial Arts School Main Hall!

Outside the silvery-white walls, soldiers carrying live ammunition patrolled and stood guard everywhere. At the broad main entrance of the Limit Main Hall, rows upon rows of soldiers were stationed as well. Security was extremely tight.

Wang Yi took out his Martial Artist ID and passed the guards' inspection before entering this stronghold of Jiangnan Base City's Limit Martial Arts School. He headed straight for the dark-blue skyscraper.

At the entrance steps on the first floor of the Limit Main Hall's headquarters building stood a man in a white suit.

"Mr. Wang Yi, my surname is Yu. I am the person in charge of the first floor of the Limit Main Hall. The president and the others have gone to the airport to receive guests from Global Headquarters. Before leaving, they instructed me to receive you first. They will be back shortly," the man said politely.

"Thank you." Wang Yi nodded slightly and followed the man into the first-floor lobby of the Limit Main Hall building.

"There really are quite a few Martial Artists at the Jiangnan Limit Main Hall." Wang Yi glanced around the first-floor lobby and saw many Martial Artists sitting about, chatting, discussing things, and drinking.

Jiangnan Base City had a population of over two hundred million. Naturally, the number of Martial Artists at the Limit Martial Arts School's Jiangnan General Association was not small.

Seeing Wang Yi's expression, the man surnamed Yu realized this was his first visit and introduced the place with a smile. "Mr. Wang Yi, the first-floor lobby of our Limit Main Hall is specifically for Martial Artists to drink and chat. Floors two through nine are for Warrior-level Martial Artists. Floors ten through nineteen are for Wargod-level Martial Artists. Above the twentieth floor are places for group meetings."

Wang Yi nodded.

But he had something more important to do.

Since he had come to the Jiangnan General Association, he naturally had to sign in.

"Sign in."

Wang Yi felt no ripples in his heart.

Ding! Congratulations, Host. Sign-in successful. Reward: five Body Movement Experience points. Your Body Movement has been upgraded to 'Perfect level.' Remaining sign-ins at this location: 0.

As the information from the mysterious golden panel flashed by, Wang Yi's mind was instantly flooded with an enormous amount of knowledge. If an ordinary person's brain suddenly received so much information at once, they might be unable to bear it and faint. Yet Wang Yi showed no unusual reaction. His gaze only lost focus slightly before quickly returning to normal.

Then, Wang Yi felt that everything around him seemed different.

"Perfect-level Body Movement..." Even Wang Yi found it somewhat unexpected and unbelievable.

Subtle level meant using the smallest possible movements to evade attacks, achieving the greatest possible efficiency in dodging.

Perfect level meant controlling the surrounding environment and making use of any object around oneself, perfectly utilizing the environment to perform the most precise evasions. That was Perfect-level Body Movement!

If Micro-level Body Movement emphasized one's control over oneself, then Perfect-level Body Movement had already extended into the external environment!

Using the surroundings to make one's Body Movement more efficient! Merging perfectly with the environment and fully unleashing one's strength—that was Perfect-level Body Movement!

Ordinary Martial Artists had no idea how many battles and how much training they would have to undergo to reach this point. But Wang Yi had the Sign-in Panel directly instill the knowledge into him, allowing him to naturally gain perfect control over this ability!

"This... this really is..." Wang Yi muttered inwardly. This practically leaves no room for people to work hard...

Yet the corners of his mouth rose uncontrollably.

Wang Yi sat in the first-floor lobby for a little over half an hour before the man surnamed Yu approached him and said politely, "Mr. Wang Yi, the president and the others have returned. They are waiting for you on the thirty-first floor. Please come with me."

Wang Yi glanced toward the entrance. He had not seen anyone come in just now.

Seemingly noticing Wang Yi's confusion, the man surnamed Yu smiled. "The president and the others returned in an Intelligent Fighter Jet."

Only then did Wang Yi understand. He had been in this world for too long and had forgotten some details from the original story. This world was more advanced than his original one; even individuals could own Intelligent Fighter Jets. Depending on the cost, they ranged from several hundred million to over a hundred billion.

However, one capable of flying independently through the Wilderness Area generally cost at least ten billion.

Wang Yi followed the man surnamed Yu into the elevator and arrived on the thirty-first floor of the Main Hall. At a glance, he saw a vast silvery-white Training Hall, and the few people inside immediately drew his attention.

"Wang Yi, come here." Zhou Yongzheng, president of the Main Hall, waved at him with a smile. "This is Yang Hui, an Inspector from the Global Headquarters of our Limit Martial Arts School. He came specifically to help conduct your qualification assessment."

Wang Yi hurriedly said, "Hello, Inspector Yang."

"Hmm." The middle-aged man in gray training clothes looked Wang Yi over. "Not bad. A handsome, spirited young man. Do you have a girlfriend yet?"

"Uh..." Wang Yi was somewhat taken aback.

Zhou Yongzheng laughed and scolded, "Enough, Old Yang. It's not as though your daughter can't get married. Why are you setting your sights on someone from our Main Hall?"

"Wang Yi, don't mind him. Inspector Yang is just joking with you."

Wang Yi could only smile.

He already had three girlfriends... but naturally, he could not say that outright.

"Let's get straight to the point." Yang Hui's expression turned serious. "Wang Yi, on behalf of the Limit Martial Arts School, I will ask you one more time. Are you willing to join the Elite Training Camp and undergo five years of training?"

"I am willing," Wang Yi answered.

"Good. Then let's begin the tests." Yang Hui spoke directly.

He pointed toward the Punch Force Tester in the corner of the Training Hall. "Go throw a punch for me to see." This was really just a simple verification procedure.

Wang Yi nodded and walked to the Punch Force Tester. His breathing was steady, his eyes calm. He gathered his strength into his fist, then unleashed it.

"Whoosh!"

His fist became an afterimage, tearing through the air with a sharp whistle before striking the Punching Target of the Punch Force Tester heavily.

"Bang!"

A dull impact rang through the spacious hall.

A number lit up on the screen.

"11341 kg."

Yang Hui and Zhou Yongzheng could not help exchanging a glance. Both were sincerely astonished.

"Did he really only pass the Quasi-Warrior Assessment in June?" Yang Hui could not help asking in a low voice.

"Of course. Back then, his punch force was only around 3,700 kilograms." Zhou Yongzheng was equally shocked.

"It has only been a short time, yet his punch force has already exceeded ten thousand kilograms! Even if the first cultivation of the Gene Energy Cultivation Method brought a huge improvement, that still means an increase of eight thousand kilograms in one go!"

If one's first cultivation of Gene Energy increased their strength by over two thousand kilograms, they were a genius!

Eight thousand kilograms... It seemed that such a genius had never appeared anywhere in the world.

And now, such a genius had joined their Limit Martial Arts School.

Yang Hui could not help smiling.

Afterward, Wang Yi tested his speed and neural reaction speed as well.

Both had reached the qualifying standard for an elementary Wargod level!

An absolute monstrous genius!

"Congratulations, Wang Yi! You have successfully passed the assessment!" Yang Hui said happily.

Zhou Yongzheng congratulated him as well.

Wang Yi wore a smile too.

Next, all that remained was to wait for the day he would depart for the Global Headquarters of the Limit Martial Arts School.
