Thor's Arrival!

With the end of this Combat Assessment, this batch of candidates became the one with the lowest pass rate and highest casualty rate in history.

Most of the monsters had died at Gu Ce's hands. A legend had even emerged in Monster Town, telling of a lone Black-and-White Ghost Shadow—black-clad with white hair—slaughtering hundreds of monsters.

Everyone who could come here was a prospective warrior!

What prospective warrior could kill like that?

Of course, those were matters for later.

As the protagonist of the story, Gu Ce was currently in a lounge.

After the Combat Assessment ended early, Gu Ce came here and was immediately surrounded by three burly men.

"Gu Ce, are you willing to join the military and do your part to protect Huaxia? Chief Jia Yi has heard about you and is very interested. He is willing to devote Huaxia's full resources to nurturing you."

Though the officer knew there was little hope, he still asked.

Whether it would work out was one matter; whether he asked was another.

Before Gu Ce could refuse, Zhuge Tao on the other side spoke up. "My name is Zhuge Tao, and I'm the director of the Limit Martial Hall. Gu Ce, I formally invite you to join our Limitless Martial Arts School. You know that the Limitless Martial Arts School is the number one in the world!"

"If you join our Limitless Martial Arts School, I'll arrange for you to enter the Elite Training Camp at the global headquarters. It's also called the Wargod Reserve Camp, and it's even better than the Lightning Martial Arts School's Training Camp! I've already reported your situation to the Hall Master. Once he sees it, he'll definitely focus on nurturing you," Zhuge Tao said.

"Ce, the Hall Master will come see you personally tomorrow. He'll tell you the specific contract terms himself, and he may even take you as his disciple."

Only after the two had finished speaking did Wang Heng unhurriedly open his mouth.

"Your uncle will also return tomorrow. You can go meet the Hall Master together then."

Thor was coming in person!

On that point alone, Wang Heng was certain the other two could not compete with him!

The Limitless Martial Arts School's facilities might be good, but so what?

At worst, the Hall Master could just borrow some from Hong!

Gu Ce, whose head was starting to ache from the three men's argument, hurriedly agreed when he heard that his uncle would be coming tomorrow.

"Alright, Brother Wang, I understand," Gu Ce said. "Senior Zhuge, I'm sorry, but I can't join the Limitless Martial Arts School. And to this senior from the military as well."

"It's fine." The officer shook his head slightly and smiled at Gu Ce. He had not expected to succeed anyway.

Zhuge Tao gave Gu Ce a deep look and silently lamented the missed opportunity.

Fortunately, he had not come away completely empty-handed this time. That Luo Feng was also a young genius, with hopes of becoming a War God in the future.

Wang Heng still had to wait until the assessment ended before leaving. Since Gu Ce had nothing else to do, he stayed behind with him to wait and see what choice Luo Feng would make.

Gu Ce still hoped Luo Feng would take his words to heart.

Not long after.

Luo Feng and two other figures entered the lounge from outside.

"Luo Feng, I won this time!" Wan Dong was still talking to Luo Feng, but immediately shut his mouth upon seeing so many people in the room.

"Director." Luo Feng first nodded to Zhuge Tao. Ignoring Wan Dong's taunts, he swept his gaze around the room.

Besides Zhuge Tao, the director of the Lightning Martial Arts School, and a military Major General, he spotted a familiar figure.

"Gu Ce?" Luo Feng was stunned to see Gu Ce in the lounge, then quickly understood.

That made sense. If Gu Ce had not lied to him, he should have been signed by a martial hall in advance already. It was normal that his name could not be seen outside.

"Luo Feng, you performed well this time. I'll report it upward and raise the level of your contract," Zhuge Tao said with a smile.

"Thank you, Director!" Luo Feng was flattered and hurriedly thanked him.

"Luo Feng." Wang Heng spoke solemnly. "My name is Wang Heng, and I'm the director of the Lightning General Martial Hall. Are you willing to join the Lightning Martial Arts School? You don't need to worry about the penalty fee."

Zhuge Tao was about to speak when Luo Feng interrupted him.

"I'm sorry." Luo Feng bowed slightly. "Thank you for Director Wang's kindness, but I've already joined the Limitless Martial Arts School and have never considered switching over. I'm truly sorry."

Seeing this, Wang Heng nodded slightly and said nothing further. He had Gu Ce anyway.

Zhuge Tao admired Luo Feng even more for thinking this way and gave him an approving look.

Knowing there was no hope, the officer tactfully remained silent.

Since the recruitment had failed, they prepared to leave. Before leaving, Gu Ce called out to Luo Feng.

"Luo Feng, I hope you remember what I told you before." Gu Ce hoped Luo Feng would reveal his talent, but he had no intention of making the choice for him. Otherwise, he would have directly revealed that Luo Feng was a spiritual reader.

Luo Feng was startled for a moment, then nodded solemnly.

"What did you two talk about?" Wang Heng asked curiously.

The surveillance footage had shown the two meeting briefly, but since it recorded no sound, it was unclear what they had discussed.

"Nothing." Gu Ce shook his head slightly and glanced at Wang Heng. "Brother Wang, want to spar later? I feel like my swordsmanship is about to break through."

"You brat." Wang Heng glared. "I haven't even reached the Perfect Level Movement Technique yet. If you hadn't mentioned it, I would've forgotten—you hid it that well. Last time, you deliberately revealed only the Microscopic Movement Technique, didn't you?"

"How could that be?" Gu Ce chuckled as he walked ahead. "I just got lucky and broke through."

"...You really are a freak. You've trained for barely half a year, yet you're stronger than most General Level warriors and even some War Gods." Wang Heng shook his head. He was nearly numb to Gu Ce's talent by now.

"Brother Wang, do you want to become a War God?" Gu Ce suddenly asked.

"A War God? Of course I do. Who doesn't want to become a War God?" Wang Heng snorted. "But with my aptitude, it'll probably be difficult."

"Have you heard of the Spirit of Plants and Trees?" Wang Heng had taken good care of him and was also his father's subordinate, so Gu Ce wanted to help him out.

"I've heard a little. Why?" Wang Heng asked curiously.

"My uncle just sent me a message. Come with me tomorrow." Gu Ce's meaning was clear.

"Really?" Wang Heng suddenly grew excited.

Could the War God status he had sought bitterly for years finally be within reach today?

"Let's go. We'll head to the sparring arena at the Lightning Martial Arts School and have a few rounds first," Gu Ce said with a smile.

"Alright!" Wang Heng said excitedly, while secretly making up his mind to let Gu Ce hit him a few more times later.

In the night.

Above Jiangnan Base City.

A Triangular Fighter Jet hovered there.

"Perfect Level Movement Technique and Mastered Swordplay. Though he hasn't comprehended Conception yet, that won't be a problem at his age. He might even comprehend that Domain thing Brother Hong has!"

Inside the fighter jet, a bald man in white robes laughed.

"This kid should be my disciple, Thor's disciple! I may not be able to comprehend a Domain, but once I teach a disciple who can, I'll go show off in front of Brother Hong!"

Thor laughed smugly, countless scenes already appearing in his mind.
