Zhou Yongzheng

"Wait a moment. Your circumstances are rather special. Given your talent, there's a high chance you'll be recruited into the Elite Training Camp, the legendary institution where our Limitless Martial Arts School trains its finest geniuses."

"But first, we need to report this to the Jiangnan General Association, which will then relay it to the global headquarters."

"Only once the global headquarters approves can we confirm whether you can enter the Elite Training Camp."

As Zhuge Tao operated several switches on the equipment, he explained it to Xu Feng, seemingly afraid Xu Feng would not understand.

Xu Feng nodded after hearing Zhuge Tao's words. Of course, he knew about the Limitless Martial Arts School's Elite Training Camp.

The Elite Training Camp was also known as the War God Reserve. It was the world's strongest base for training martial artists.

Moreover, the Elite Training Camp only recruited ten students worldwide each year. Those who could enter it were undoubtedly absolute geniuses.

Even Luo Feng from the original novel had only been recruited by the Limitless Martial Arts School at nineteen, after reaching Primary General-level physical fitness and comprehending the third level of the Nine Heavens Thunder Blade.

Xu Feng, meanwhile, was only eighteen. After cultivating the Gene Energy Cultivation Method for the first time, his physical fitness had already reached the Intermediate Warrior level. He had also mastered a Microscopic Level Movement Technique and awakened the talent of a Psychic Master, qualifying him for the Elite Training Camp as well.

Zhuge Tao quickly activated the three-dimensional virtual projection equipment.

Then he let out a long breath. "Whew, lucky. The president happens to be online."

Normally, Zhuge Tao would not go through so much trouble to contact the General Association. A simple video call would do. This equipment would only be used for particularly important or urgent matters.

Zhuge Tao turned to Xu Feng behind him. "When you meet the president later, remember to be respectful. Don't be discourteous, understand?"

Xu Feng hurriedly nodded. He knew that Zhou Yongzheng, the president of the Jiangnan Base City General Association, was a War God among martial artists. As the president of the Limitless Martial Arts School in Jiangnan Base City, he held immense authority. In terms of status and position, he was probably among the top three in all of Jiangnan Base City!

Of course, the person truly stationed in a Base City by the Limitless Martial Arts School was the Inspector! Generally, only High-level War Gods qualified for that position! However, an Inspector was only responsible for oversight and did not normally handle the association's affairs!

Dreamlike light swiftly gathered in the center of the audiovisual room, forming a three-dimensional projection. A man in his fifties, dressed in training clothes, appeared directly in the middle of the room. He looked as though he were truly there. The only difference was the faint halo around his body.

Xu Feng's attention immediately focused on the white-clad man's enormous hands. They were like palm-leaf fans, with one hand as large as two ordinary hands.

So this was Zhou Yongzheng, president of the Limitless Martial Arts School's Jiangnan General Association, an Intermediate War God known as Iron Hand? Xu Feng thought.

"Zhuge Tao, what could be so urgent that you had to contact me?"

The white-clad man, lifelike as a real person, turned toward Zhuge Tao and Xu Feng. His voice was low and imposing.

"President." Zhuge Tao respectfully said, "A few days ago was the day our Yangzhou City association held its monthly Quasi-Warrior assessment..." Zhuge Tao meticulously reported everything concerning Xu Feng and his performance to the stern man in white.

Zhou Yongzheng's expression gradually changed as Zhuge Tao gave his report.

"Eighteen years old, and he possessed Intermediate Warrior-level physical fitness without ever cultivating Gene Energy?"

"And he independently comprehended a Microscopic Level Movement Technique? His Psychic Master talent has reached the peak of Advanced Warrior level, even Beginner Warlord level?"

"This is the kid?"

Zhou Yongzheng looked at Xu Feng with blazing eyes.

"Yes. His name is Xu Feng, and he is from Yian District, Jiangnan Base City."

Zhuge Tao answered respectfully.

Zhou Yongzheng's piercing gaze settled on Xu Feng.

"Xu Feng, is it? You heard what Zhuge Tao said just now. You have excellent talent—you're a genius. If I invited you to join our Limitless Martial Arts School now, would you be willing?"

Zhou Yongzheng continued, "If you join, I'll apply to the higher-ups for a place in the Elite Training Camp for you. Of course, whether it succeeds will depend on their approval. But even if you can't enter the Elite Training Camp, you can still enter the slightly inferior Basic Training Camp."

"The Basic Training Camp recruits gifted geniuses from all over the world, allowing them to receive the best training!"

"The Elite Training Camp is the number one training camp in the world. It recruits geniuses among geniuses—students as monstrous as demons."

"No matter which training camp you enter, you will receive development far superior to what you could get anywhere else."

Zhou Yongzheng's voice echoed through the large audiovisual room.

Zhou Yongzheng looked at Xu Feng expectantly. He did not care much about ordinary geniuses, but for someone like Xu Feng, who could enter the Elite Training Camp, even he had to lower himself in his eagerness to recruit talent.

After all, the Elite Training Camp was also known as the War God Reserve Camp. Anyone who entered was guaranteed to become a War God, and an exceptionally powerful one at that.

With Xu Feng's talent and potential, even if he could not enter the Elite Training Camp, after spending several years in the Basic Training Camp, he would still easily become a War God.

Xu Feng had come from Jiangnan Base City. His achievements would represent the performance and contributions of the Jiangnan Limitless General Association.

How could Zhou Yongzheng possibly not value such a promising prospect?

The room fell silent. Xu Feng seemed to be thinking. After a long while, beneath the gazes of Zhuge Tao and Zhou Yongzheng, he finally moved.

"President, can I be exempted from the martial artist combat assessment on August 1? And with more than two months left, can I enter the Wilderness Zone early to train?"

"Ha ha ha, of course you can. You have to understand, you're a genius. Geniuses have privileges." Zhou Yongzheng laughed.

"Then I'll join the Limitless Martial Arts School!"

Upon hearing Xu Feng's answer, a delighted smile slowly appeared on Zhou Yongzheng's stern face.

Zhou Yongzheng said, "I believe I'll see you in the War God Palace someday."

Turning back, the smile on Xu Feng's face deepened. He could sense how highly this president thought of him.

"President, thank you and Uncle Tao for your trust. This is exactly what I need right now. I'll remember this day."

Wasn't Zhuge Tao willing to spend those 500 million for exactly those words?

Different geniuses received different treatment. Ensuring that those geniuses could grow smoothly was originally their responsibility, but any personal connections formed in the process depended entirely on how well one cultivated them.

To be honest, he had only been a supervisor for a few years, and this money was no small burden for him...

After all, he was still young. He had already spent quite a bit to become a supervisor, so his finances were rather tight at the moment.

But he also thought very highly of Xu Feng. He was willing to spend this money. Recruiting a genius from a Base City had always been part of their strategy, and a genius like Xu Feng was worth investing in.

Zhou Yongzheng encouraged him.

"Xu Feng, you already possess the talent of a Psychic Master, but this world is vast, and martial artist training is equally important. You must not neglect your martial artist cultivation!"

"With talent like yours, once you return, choose a top-tier cultivation manual. It shouldn't be difficult for you, whether you master it completely or simply absorb its essence."
