Rapid Advancement

Chief Instructor Wu Tong smiled. "Alright, three people passed this Probationary Warrior Assessment: Xiao Yu, Luo Feng, and Yang Wu."

"Each of you has your own strengths and weaknesses. Xiao Yu and Yang Wu, the two of you need to pay attention. Your methods of evading attacks have already reached the Microscopic level. In life-or-death battles against monsters, you can use the smallest possible body movements to evade attacks. Naturally, this kind of movement technique is extremely efficient at dodging attacks."

"However, this movement technique is extremely, extremely difficult. You need to understand your opponent thoroughly and cannot make even the slightest mistake, or you could very well lose your life. Therefore—"

"I advise you that when fighting monsters in the future, try to dodge farther away. Leave yourselves room to maneuver." Wu Tong spoke solemnly. "With your current strength, it is best to train your basic movement techniques properly. The results will actually be better."

Xiao Yu was startled inwardly. He felt that he had indeed been somewhat rash and might have shown too much. "Thank you for the reminder, Uncle Wu."

Yang Wu also nodded solemnly. "Yes, Chief Instructor."

"You must remember the Chief Instructor's words. On the path of martial arts, never be greedy for quick success or recklessly advance. Microscopic-level movement techniques are indeed powerful. But if you lack the strength to execute such techniques and force yourself to use them anyway, you will only imitate others poorly and make a fool of yourself." Jiang Nian, standing nearby, earnestly reminded them.

"Alright, everyone. There are still matters to handle next, such as signing the Combat Assessment agreement. Help them take care of it." As he spoke, Chief Instructor Wu Tong looked at a silver-haired man in a black robe who had been standing at the edge and smiled. "Captain, sorry to have kept you waiting so long. Let's go."

The silver-haired man in black swept his gaze over Xiao Yu and the other two. That single glance made Xiao Yu feel that this man was no ordinary person. His gaze seemed to carry an oppressive force that drew people in. Xiao Yu broke free in an instant. Luo Feng beside him also shuddered, while Yang Wu's expression alone became vacant.

This man was terrifyingly strong. He was a Mind Controller and might already have reached War God level.

The silver-haired man in black smiled faintly and looked at Xiao Yu and Luo Feng in surprise. "Kids, your talents aren't bad. Work hard!"

"Hmm, your willpower is pretty good too." Chief Instructor Wu Tong nodded in satisfaction. "Captain, the kid in the middle is from the Xiao Family."

"The Xiao Family? Xiao Guohua?"

"Yes. His name is Xiao Yu, and he is Xiao Guohua's nephew."

The two talked as they walked, quickly disappearing into the distance.

"What happened to me?"

Only then did Yang Wu regain his senses. Recalling what had just happened, he broke out in a cold sweat. If this had happened on a battlefield, he would have been instantly killed by a single glance.

In truth, the silver-haired man in black had been standing nearby the whole time. Xiao Yu had noticed him from the beginning, but he had always unconsciously overlooked the man's presence.

"You three, come over."

Instructor Jiang Nian and the group of warriors smiled at the three of them. "Come to the Training Hall."

They entered the spacious Training Hall from the Nerve Reaction testing room.

The three signed the Warrior Practical Assessment application agreement in the Training Hall, a contract exempting the Limit Martial Arts School from liability.

The contents of the agreement were simple: any deaths or injuries during the Combat assessment had nothing to do with the Limit Martial Arts School.

After signing the agreement, Xiao Yu finally obtained the Genetic Energy cultivation method he had long dreamed of—the Five Hearts Towards Heaven cultivation method! The only method on Earth for cultivating Genetic Energy.

The reason he wanted this cultivation method was not because it was advanced. In fact, quite the opposite was true. This method was extremely rudimentary, but in this world of comprehensive surveillance, it was best if every bit of growth in his strength had an explanation.

Besides, he also wanted to study the cultivation methods for Cosmic Energy in this world. This rudimentary cultivation method suited him perfectly instead.

On Earth, there was only one Genetic Energy cultivation method, but there were countless Guidance Methods. Many techniques had their own unique Guidance Methods, such as the Nine Heavens Thunder Blade.

Moreover, Guidance Methods were extremely important. Finding an excellent Guidance Method with high compatibility could yield twice the result with half the effort, or even produce effects tenfold or hundredfold greater.

Xiao Yu drove Luo Feng and Yang Wu to the entrance of Mingyue Residential Area.

"Yang Wu, Madman. Luo Feng, I'll call you that too, just like Yang Wu does," Xiao Yu said. "I'm glad I got to meet you today."

"Sure." Luo Feng did not care how his friends addressed him. What mattered in making friends was sincerity.

"By the way, why does Yang Wu call you Madman?" Xiao Yu asked.

Yang Wu laughed beside him. "When Luo Feng first became an advanced student at the Yian District Limit Martial Arts School, he was excluded by others who banded together because of his family circumstances. Back then, he got so angry that he fought three advanced students in a row and won all three matches. That was how he got the nickname 'Madman.'"

"It's fine now. As long as we pass the Warrior Practical Assessment, we'll gain residency rights in Mingyue Residential Area!" Yang Wu sighed.

Xiao Yu said, "Enough of that. The three of us passed the assessment at the same place on the same day. That's fate. Today is a good day, so let's find a restaurant, have a good meal, and chat properly."

"Alright. You know this place better, so you choose." Yang Wu agreed with a smile.

"Let's go." Luo Feng laughed as well.

Having just passed the Probationary Warrior Assessment, the three were full of high spirits. They chose a restaurant and ate lunch together.

Xiao Yu looked at the two of them and said, "Yian District is quite far from here. I'll drive you there!"

Xiao Yu naturally knew what would happen next. This was something he absolutely could not miss.

Sitting in the front passenger seat, Luo Feng had only just remembered to share the good news with his family and let them be happy as well.

After happily speaking with his mother and younger brother, Luo Feng called his father again.

The call went unanswered the entire time, and Luo Feng became extremely anxious.

Noticing all this, Xiao Yu quickly comforted him. "There's a location-tracking function on your phone. You can check the location of a linked phone. How about we go straight to your dad and tell him the good news in person?"

Luo Feng had wanted to decline, but after checking the location, he discovered that it was not far away, only a few minutes' drive.

Soon, the vehicle entered Tiandu Garden Residential Area in Yian District.

"Everyone living in Tiandu Garden Residential Area is either rich or powerful. Many of the residents here are famous merchants and major business owners in Yian District," Yang Wu introduced.

"Maybe the renovation company my dad works for has business here."

The vehicle soon arrived nearby and stopped beside a row villa. Xiao Yu adjusted the camera on the dashcam so that it pointed directly ahead.

About twenty meters ahead, several people seemed to be arguing. A middle-aged man in work clothes lay on the ground to one side, while two coworkers in identical uniforms were about to step forward and help him up.

A richly dressed young man struck like lightning, kicking twice at their stomachs and sending both of them flying backward before they crashed to the ground.

"Hmph, if you want to act tough, at least look where you are." The young man sneered, his voice neither too loud nor too soft.

"Stop! Zhang Haobai, is your skin itching again?" Xiao Yu hurriedly said. Xiao Yu had seen the young man in front of him once before. It was Zhang Haobai, who relied on the warrior in his family to throw his weight around in Yian District. He was nothing worth mentioning.

"Looking for death!" Seeing Luo Hongguo lying on the ground, Luo Feng's face flushed red as he rushed forward.

He had previously ignored Zhang Haobai's repeated provocations, not taking them seriously. But he had never expected Zhang Haobai to bully his father, Luo Hongguo, today.

A blurry figure instantly rushed into the courtyard. Zhang Haobai recognized him at a glance and angrily shouted, "Luo Feng, you actually came to my house! Beat him!"

Zhang Haobai also saw the other two people getting out of the car. He recognized one of them: Yang Wu, who had taken the Probationary Warrior Assessment many times without passing. The other looked somewhat familiar, but in his rage, he did not think much about it.

"Fuck you!" Seeing his father hunched over on the ground, covered in footprints, Luo Feng's eyes instantly reddened. His father had done this kind of hard labor for years and still endured people looking down on him. Yet today, he had suffered this as well.

Upon hearing Zhang Haobai's command, one of the three bodyguards, a somewhat short and fat man, stepped forward with a sneer.

"Get the hell out of my way!!!" Luo Feng roared, then lashed out with a heavy kick like lightning. The short, fat bodyguard raised his right arm to block it.

"Luo Feng, you actually came to my home and beat my people!" Zhang Haobai glared and roared. "You're courting death."

"You're the one courting death!!!" Luo Feng snarled through gritted teeth, his eyes filled with murderous fury.

"Be careful. This guy's kicks are damn heavy." The short, fat bodyguard had carelessly taken Luo Feng's powerful kick to the stomach and been sent flying. He rubbed his stomach, blood seeping from the corner of his mouth. For a moment, he could not even get up.

"Madman, need help?" Xiao Yu and Yang Wu walked over and asked.

"No. I can handle this myself." Luo Feng wanted to personally teach these bastards a lesson. Otherwise, he would not feel satisfied.

In less than a minute, among the three bodyguards, one clutched his stomach and could not get up, one had a fractured right arm, and the last had been chopped to his knees with a hand strike.

"Zhang Haobai!" Luo Feng's eyes seemed ready to spit fire, as though he wanted to devour someone alive.

"Luo Feng, I warn you, you—" Seeing Luo Feng's expression, Zhang Haobai was momentarily terrified.

Bang!

Luo Feng delivered a clean, decisive kick. The lightning-fast kick struck Zhang Haobai directly in the stomach, sending him flying several meters away with a pale face.

"Warn my ass!" Luo Feng grabbed Zhang Haobai by the collar and yanked him up, leaving Zhang Haobai hanging in midair.

"Put the resident down now!"

An angry shout came from afar. More than a dozen security guards in full gear rushed over, each carrying a baton. There were cameras throughout Tiandu Residential Area, and the estate's security guards had learned of the fight the moment it began. Those living in the row villas were no ordinary families, so how could they dare be careless?

They had rushed over immediately and called the police at the same time.

Ignoring everyone else, Xiao Yu walked over to Zhang Haobai, who had collapsed on the ground, and asked, "Do you recognize me?"

"N-No, I don't!" Zhang Haobai's face turned even paler from the murderous aura surrounding Xiao Yu.

"What are you doing? Don't move!" Two security guards quickly came before Xiao Yu and shielded Zhang Haobai behind them.

"Trash who only knows how to play petty tricks!" Xiao Yu spat to the side and mocked him.

Xiao Yu and Yang Wu hurried over to help Luo Feng lift Luo Hongguo and the other two men up.

Beep! Beep!

Suddenly, the sound of a police car approached, and everyone turned to look. A police car quickly stopped in front of the Zhang residence. All four doors opened, and four officers swiftly ran out.

"The police are here." The security guards immediately moved aside.

"Oh no, the police are here." Luo Hongguo and the other two were greatly alarmed. Luo Hongguo grabbed Luo Feng and pulled him into a corner, urgently whispering, "Xiaofeng, you injured people. Things will be troublesome once you get to the police station. Don't panic yet. I'll go find you a lawyer right away."

"Dad, I passed the Probationary Warrior Assessment," Luo Feng said softly.

"Uncle Luo, don't worry. At most, this counts as self-defense. Brother Yang and I can both testify." Xiao Yu hurriedly reassured him.

Although Luo Feng was already a Probationary Warrior, his certificate had not yet been approved, so he was still taken away by the police.

Xiao Yu also drove over as a witness. Along the way, he used his father's connections to obtain multiple surveillance recordings from the scene, backed them up, and submitted them to the police station together.

After giving their statements, Xiao Yu and Yang Wu returned home.

With such ample evidence prepared this time, along with Xiao Yu's guarantee through his father, Xiao Dingguo, Luo Feng was released on bail in court. However, he still had to pay thirty thousand Huaxia Coin as bail.

Zhang Haobai learned about the Xiao Family through his uncle Zhang Zehu and was immediately terrified. The War God Family's influence was far beyond what his uncle, a mere Advanced Warrior Level fighter, could compare to. Even becoming General-level would not be enough.

Although he had not given up on causing trouble for Luo Feng, he did not dare act rashly for the time being. Even Zhang Zehu warned him not to make any moves yet.

This attempt had been a deliberate experiment by Xiao Yu, and he had not expected the results to be quite good.

Xiao Yu politely declined Luo Feng's family's invitation. After arranging to go to the Warrior Practical Assessment together, he drove back to his home in Mingyue Residential Area, Yangzhou City.

"System, fulfill my wish to become Apprentice Level 2."

Host: Xiao Yu.

Host's first wish: Become Apprentice Level 2.

Wish completion progress: 3121.2/1000 Wish Points.

Wish fulfillment in progress...

Xiao Yu felt streams of warmth emerge from deep within his body, sweeping through his bones, flesh, and skin. His entire body felt incomparably comfortable, so comfortable that he trembled uncontrollably.

Ten minutes later, his body stopped trembling, and he felt as strong as a bull.

Wish fulfilled!

Congratulations, you have become an Apprentice Level 2 warrior!

Apprentice Level 2 meant that his punching strength had reached 2,000 kilograms and his speed was at least 40 meters per second.

When Xiao Yu had read the original novel in his previous life, he had often wondered whether a person with better physical fitness before cultivating the Five Hearts Towards Heaven method would experience a greater increase after successfully sensing Cosmic Energy.

He had not had the chance in his previous life. Now, he had begun experimenting.

"System, set my first wish as becoming an Apprentice Level 3 warrior."

First wish successfully set!

Host: Xiao Yu.

Host's first wish: Become Apprentice Level 3.

Wish completion progress: 2121.2/2000 Wish Points.

Since his Wish Points met the requirement, he would continue improving!

"Fulfill my first wish!"

Wish Points meet the requirements to fulfill the first wish.

Wish fulfillment in progress...

This time, his body trembled for half an hour before it finally stopped.

Wish fulfilled!

Congratulations, you have become an Apprentice Level 3 warrior!

"An Apprentice Level 3 warrior is Advanced Warrior Level. The standard punching strength is 4,000 kilograms, and the speed is sixty meters per second." Xiao Yu thought to himself, Xiao Ling, let's see if you can still compete with me now!

"Xiao Yu! Don't tell me you took a dump in your bedroom! Why does it stink so badly?" Mother Xiao, Xu Jingyi, shouted loudly for once.

An incredibly foul stench drifted over.

"Ugh!"

Xiao Yu looked at himself, covered in black grime, and quickly got up to wash. The increase in strength was too great, and he had not adjusted his force properly. He stepped hard enough to break a piece of the floor, causing him to topple forward.

After learning his lesson, he became much more careful with his movements.

A shower that normally took just over ten minutes ended up taking more than an hour this time. He even broke two toothbrushes and crushed the showerhead.
