"No!" Wang Heng slammed the table. "A Genius like this can't be snatched away by your Limit Martial Hall!"

"Luckily, I caught some of your luck by coming out for drinks with you and seeing this recording."

"I'm starting to like this young man, Yang Wu. I just wonder whether he has any intention of joining our Lightning Martial Hall..."

"Go on, get lost." Zhuge Tao could not help glaring at Wang Heng.

"I was only joking. You really are no fun," Wang Heng laughed heartily. "Even if I truly wanted to recruit him, how could I possibly say it to your face?"

In truth, these Primary Beast Soldiers were far too weak for Yang Wu. Even if he suppressed his strength, the tempering effect was nowhere near as great as he had imagined.

Besides, he had already killed enough Monsters and earned a large number of Points. There was not much point in staying any longer.

Although there was at most an hour left before the Combat Assessment began.

The Combat Assessment did not require participants to stay for the full twelve hours. Once they earned enough Points, they could withdraw at any time.

Moreover, the more Monsters one killed in a shorter period, the higher one's ranking would be. Yang Wu himself did not care much about such rankings.

When Yang Wu silently walked out of Monster Town, not a single Quasi-Warrior had emerged yet. The area was filled with Warriors patrolling and standing guard.

The moment Yang Wu appeared, every Warrior looked toward him in astonishment, seemingly unable to understand why he had come out so early.

Yang Wu paid no attention to the Warriors' stares and merely headed calmly toward the collection point.

Quasi-Warriors leaving Monster Town had to first submit the Monsters' left ears they had obtained from hunting, proving the number of Monsters they had killed.

"Name." A Warrior responsible for verification asked.

"Yang Wu." Yang Wu nodded.

"Yang Wu, right?" The officer raised his brows. "I seem to remember you. I heard that Limit Martial Hall recruited you in advance."

"You came out quite early. Your strength does seem pretty good, but hand over the left ears of the Monsters you killed first."

"They're all here." Yang Wu took off the backpack on his back.

Many Warriors immediately gathered around. They were curious about how many Monsters Yang Wu had killed to come out so early.

Yang Wu opened the bag, and a large number of Monsters' left ears poured into the metal basin like flowing water, instantly filling it to the brim.

One, two, three... ten, twenty, thirty...

The Quasi-Warriors watching nearby counted the Monster materials in rhythm.

"Forty Monster left ears, and they're all Shadow Cats!"

"That many?"

"It's only been an hour, hasn't it?"

"So far, he's definitely the Quasi-Warrior who has killed the most Monsters in this batch."

"Mm. He isn't injured either. He'll definitely become a Warrior!" The Warriors all began discussing it.

"Once the Combat Assessment ends, I'll be a true Warrior." Yang Wu smiled.

"After that, I'll be able to use Limit Martial Hall's internal system to purchase weapons, manuals, equipment, and more."

Blade Technique manuals, Guidance Techniques, weapons, and the like were things he had long desired. With an amplified Guidance Technique paired with the Five Hearts Facing Source Method, his cultivation speed would certainly improve even further.

On the evening of August 2nd, Mingyue Community, Yangzhou City, Jiangnan Base City.

"Yang Wu, Luo Feng, you're back! Congratulations!"

"What's there to congratulate? The Warrior Combat Assessment wasn't difficult at all for Yang Wu and Luo Feng."

Walking through the community, Yang Wu and Luo Feng smiled and greeted several Warriors they saw.

"Mom, Little Sister." Yang Wu immediately saw his Old Mother and Little Sister standing at the entrance to their home.

"Dinner first, dinner." Yang Mother smiled.

That night, Yang Wu and his family were overjoyed. From this moment onward, Yang Wu was already a true Warrior!

After eleven at night, in the audiovisual room on the second floor of Yang Wu's home.

"Once I officially become a Warrior, I can enter Limit Martial Hall's internal Warrior network!" Yang Wu was somewhat excited.

Some special networks could only be accessed with a specific identity.

Limit Home of Limit Martial Hall could naturally only be entered by Warriors of Limit Martial Hall.

Once he entered Limit Home, Yang Wu would be able to perform many operations, such as purchasing weapons and manuals to amplify.

With the amplification power of the original Five Hearts Facing Heaven Method, Basic Saber Technique, and Basic Movement Technique, he would definitely soar to greatness in the future.

"Limit Home." Yang Wu entered the website address using the keyboard.

"Beep." Yang Wu briefly verified his fingerprint. Once it passed, he successfully entered Limit Home.

At once, an enormous two-hundred-inch screen appeared on one wall of the audiovisual room.

The screen immediately opened the website "Limit Home," initially displaying Yang Wu's personal page.

It showed a photograph of Yang Wu, with several information tables beneath it—

The entry that pleased Yang Wu the most was his currency balance: 20 million Huaxia Coin!

[Congratulations. Through "hard work," you have obtained 20 million in starting capital and a free manual allowance of 100 million. Would you like to perform Ten Thousand Times Amplification?]

"..." Yang Wu fell silent for a moment. "No amplification!"

If his public account suddenly received 200 billion in starting capital and a free manual allowance of one trillion... even if he jumped into the Yellow River, he would never wash away the suspicion.

After thinking it over, Yang Wu chose not to amplify for the first time!

Though this amount of money was far beyond what he currently had... Yang Wu did not take it too seriously, because earning that much money would not be difficult.

For example, when Luo Feng's Fire Hammer Squad divided its earnings for the first time, Luo Feng had received several hundred million.

Even if Yang Wu did worse than Luo Feng, earning tens or hundreds of millions would not be difficult.

After amplification, though, it would become tens or hundreds of billions!

Of course, he certainly would not choose the method of "dividing earnings." Instead, he would sell amplified Monster materials on the black market. Naturally, that was a matter for the future.

"I'll buy the Nine-layered Thunder Blade first." Like Luo Feng, Yang Wu steeled himself and purchased the first three levels of the Ultimate Secret Method, Nine-layered Thunder Blade.

After all, he had a free allowance of one hundred million. It would be a waste not to use it.

As for weapons and equipment, he did not have enough Contribution Points to receive the half-price discount, so he did not buy any.

In fact, he planned to have someone purchase them for him, just as Luo Feng had done.

Of course, he directly bought some cheap auxiliary equipment, such as binoculars and backpacks.

The morning after purchasing the manual, at around ten o'clock.

In the private garden of Yang Wu's home in Mingyue Community, a stranger arrived.

"Mr. Yang Wu, these are the Nine-layered Thunder Blade manual and some equipment you purchased. You can open them using your fingerprint."

Yang Wu accepted the two sealed Alloy Briefcases handed over by the man, then ran his finger across the top of each Briefcase.

"Beep!"

"Fingerprint verification passed."

An electronic synthesized voice sounded, and the two Alloy Briefcases automatically opened.

Inside one of the Alloy Briefcases was a book roughly one centimeter thick. It was the Nine-layered Thunder Blade, with a disc placed on top of it.
