Attention of the Global Headquarters

Ten minutes later, a gray, saucer-shaped fighter jet hovered above the Changshan Limit Hall, then slowly descended onto the roof of the hall.

Wang Yudong, along with Shen Mu and Chen Wen, were already waiting there on the roof.

Buzz—click.

The hatch of the saucer-shaped fighter jet opened, and the first to emerge was a handsome young man who looked to be in his twenties, radiating an incredibly sharp aura.

Closely following behind the young man was a middle-aged man in a Tang suit, also exuding a powerful presence.

These two were the highest-ranking officials from the Kyoto Base City Limit Martial Hall: Inspector Liu Minghao and Chairman Li Zhengchu.

"Greetings, Inspector Liu, Chairman Li."

Led by Wang Yudong, Shen Mu and Chen Wen respectfully bowed slightly to the two men.

Liu Minghao casually waved his hand, his gaze fixed on Shen Mu.

"You must be little Shen. Let me introduce myself, I'm Liu Minghao." Liu Minghao's gaze towards Shen Mu was as if he were examining some incredibly rare creature, completely ignoring Wang Yudong and Chen Wen.

Seeing this, Shen Mu said, "Inspector Liu, hello, I am Shen Mu."

"Don't call me Inspector, it's too formal. Just call me Brother Minghao. Come on, let your brother see how strong your spiritual power is."

Liu Minghao was very enthusiastic towards Shen Mu. For a spiritualist, the number of throwing knives they can control at maximum power represents their potential, equivalent to a martial artist's power amplification.

Since the Great Nirvana Era, no spiritualist has been able to simultaneously control more than 9 throwing knives at maximum power before reaching Councilor-level.

As Liu Minghao spoke, he directly put his arm around Shen Mu's shoulders and walked towards the interior of the Limit Martial Hall.

Chen Wen, seeing her precious son with his arm around Inspector Liu, looked worriedly at Li Zhengchu.

"Chairman, this..." Chen Wen hesitated.

Chairman Li Zhengchu smiled and said, "Instructor Chen Wen, don't worry. Inspector Liu and little Shen are both young people and have common interests. We'll just follow behind."

Immediately, the three of them followed Liu Minghao and Shen Mu, re-entering the martial arts hall on the third floor of the Limit Hall.

Inside the martial arts hall, Shen Mu freely released his spiritual power. Ten red throwing knives, under his control, were like ten swift streams of light, streaking through the air and creating ear-piercing shrieks.

"Beep—50414kg!"

"..."

"Beep—50941kg!"

After controlling the ten dark red streams of light to burst forth dozens of times in a row, Shen Mu also felt a sense of fatigue from the spiritual level, and a slight stinging sensation came from deep within his mind.

The spiritual power consumed in just a few dozen bursts was equivalent to hundreds of full-force bursts from an ordinary Advanced Warrior-level spiritualist, so it was natural to feel fatigued.

"Alright, little Shen, no need to continue."

Liu Minghao raised his hand to put away the equipment specifically for filming and saving images. After letting out a long breath, he looked at Shen Mu again.

"Little Shen, you've already proven your talent. I'll directly report this monitoring video and the data from the measuring instrument to the Global Headquarters. As for what kind of treatment they'll ultimately give..."

At this point, Liu Minghao shook his head slightly, "I don't know. With your talent, I'm afraid even my old man can't decide."

"But I guarantee you, as long as you're willing to stay in the martial hall, you will definitely receive the best treatment. Even the head curator will meet you!"

Shen Mu naturally knew how shocking he was, but still said, "Thank you for Inspector Liu's recommendation."

"What recommendation? With your talent, this is the treatment you deserve. Come on, tell your brother how you awakened your spiritual power."

Liu Minghao's attitude towards Shen Mu became even more enthusiastic. This level of talent no longer just represented potential.

For Shen Mu now, he only needed to be piled up to Advanced War God-level with resources, without any training, and he would directly be a true invincible War God, even a half-step Councilor-level.

Spiritualists are different from martial artists. Martial artists not only increase their power amplification, but also need to have a high level of swordsmanship and footwork to be comparable to spiritualists of the same realm.

Of course, for spiritualists, wanting to simultaneously control more throwing knives at full power is even more difficult than for martial artists to increase their power amplification.

Faced with such a powerhouse, let alone Liu Minghao being polite. Even his father, a Councilor-level powerhouse, Liu He, one of the Limit Hall's Five Great Inspectors, would treat him with courtesy.

Half an hour later, on the roof of the Limit Hall, the gray saucer took off and flew towards the base city's main hall.

Aboard the fighter jet, Liu Minghao looked at the Changshan Limit Hall below and couldn't help but say, "Another spiritualist genius... and even more stunning than that Inspector Luo."

Hearing Liu Minghao's words, Li Zhengchu recalled the rise of that Inspector Luo Feng from Jiangnan Base City and couldn't help but nod slightly.

That Inspector Luo Feng only became a martial artist in August 2056. He entered the Global Elite Training Camp in early April of last year, and only four months later, in August of '57, he became an invincible War God.

He rose rapidly in just one year and served as the highest-ranking official of a Limit Martial Hall base city, which was nothing short of amazing.

But Shen Mu, whom he had just seen, was even more frightening, able to simultaneously control 10 throwing knives at full power.

Directly using precious resources such as Dragon Blood, Jade Marrow, and Essence of Flora to push his realm up, he could directly become an invincible War God. Perhaps it wouldn't even take half a year.

At the same time, in virtual space, in a War God Palace, in a Limit Hall exclusive plane.

Inside a large conference hall, the floor, walls, and the huge round table were all silver. The ceiling of the conference hall was an infinite starry sky, giving a dreamlike feeling.

There were six pure black seats around the round table, with the first seat empty and the other five seats occupied by five white-robed figures.

These five people were the Limit Hall's Five Great Inspectors, all planetary-level powerhouses who surpassed War Gods, including Liu Minghao's father, Liu He.

"Gentlemen, this is Shen Mu's information."

Liu He, as the person in charge of the Huaxia Region, began to speak, "He became a martial artist in August 2058, at the young age of 18. After becoming a martial artist, he purchased the secret manual World Extinction created by the Hall Master.

"Four months after learning the World Extinction spear technique, he successfully mastered the first level of power exertion techniques, reaching a power multiplier of 1.2.

"Then yesterday, which was January 15th, he awakened his spiritual power, causing him to fall into a coma..."

In front of the other four white-robed inspectors, there was also a copy of the same information.

Another Inspector Wang, also from Huaxia, looked at Liu He with a somewhat shocked expression. "If this wasn't personally tested by your Liu Minghao kid, I'd suspect that Kyoto Base City had the audacity to fabricate it."

Inspector Liu He gently raised his hand, and a holographic projection video appeared on the round table in front of them. The content of the projection was Shen Mu's test of the maximum intensity of his spiritual power, personally filmed by Liu Minghao.

"To be honest, I didn't believe it at first. If my kid hadn't personally sparred with Shen Mu, I wouldn't have believed it at all. Even with video evidence, it's still too... shocking."

"Another Luo Feng?" A white inspector couldn't help but say.

Mentioning Luo Feng, they also remembered that genius young man who had been in Ancient Civilization Ruin No. 9 for more than three months.

Generally speaking, if someone enters Ancient Civilization Ruin No. 9 and doesn't come out for three months, they are basically presumed dead.

Suddenly, a burst of illusory light condensed above the head of the round table, transforming into the figure of a black-clothed youth.

"Hall Master!"

The five inspectors were startled and quickly stood up, then bowed to the black-clothed youth.

The person who came was none other than the world's number one powerhouse, the First Councilor of the War God Palace, Hong.

Hong looked at Liu He and said, "Tomorrow at nine in the morning, I want to meet this young man. Liu He, go there yourself."

"Yes, Hall Master," Liu He replied quickly.
