Over the next few days, the situation did not change much. They killed quite a few lord-level monsters and obtained plenty of materials.

Jiangnan Base City's main urban district airport.

In the airport's waiting area, the President of the Limit Martial Hall's general headquarters, along with several directors under him, waited patiently.

The four giants of the Limit Martial Hall had gathered together. Clearly, the visitor was no ordinary person.

Suddenly, a fighter jet representing the Limit Martial Hall Headquarters appeared in the sky.

"He's here!" President Zhou Zhengyong revealed a faint smile.

Whoosh!

The fighter jet rapidly slowed down and gradually landed at the airport.

Beep!

The fighter jet's hatch opened, extending a staircase-like passageway.

"Old Yang!" President Zhou Zhengyong greeted him.

"Iron Hand, long time no see." The Wargod Yang Hui, dressed in a gray robe, returned the greeting.

"I was supposed to come in early August, but the Basic Training Camp and Elite Training Camp students were all undertaking Life and Death Adventures at the time, so it was delayed."

Zhou Zhengyong had been somewhat puzzled before. Given Yang Wu's talent, he should already have been able to join the Basic Training Camp. Why had Headquarters continued to send no one to investigate the situation?

Now that he heard Yang Hui's explanation, they understood.

"I see." Zhou Zhengyong nodded. "Old Yang, you came this time to assess Yang Wu's abilities, right?"

"That's right." Yang Hui nodded. "He's twenty-five... which is indeed a little old, but the first time he cultivated Gene Primary Energy, his punching strength increased by 4,000 kilograms!"

"On top of that, he has Microscopic-level Movement Technique and Proficient-level Saber Technique. He certainly qualifies to enter the Basic Training Camp."

"Yang Wu." Zhou Zhengyong smiled. "He should be in the Wilderness Area right now. Why don't we brothers find a place to get together first?"

"No." Yang Hui shook his head slightly. "I just received a piece of unofficial news. Apparently, Yang Wu mastered the first level of the Nine-layered Thunder Blade within this month."

"If that's true, then this matter concerns more than just the Basic Training Camp. It concerns the Elite Training Camp."

"So let's handle the serious business first. We'll have plenty of time to chat afterward."

"The first level of the Nine-layered Thunder Blade?" Zhou Zhengyong's heart was thrown into turmoil. "I did underestimate Yang Wu a little before. It seems the decision from above will have to be changed as well."

The Limit Martial Hall had two training camps: the Basic Training Camp and the Elite Training Camp.

The Basic Training Camp could be set aside for now. The Elite Training Camp was the Global Number One training camp, also known as the War God Reserve Camp.

Anyone who could enter the War God Reserve Camp was guaranteed to become a Wargod after graduation. This showed just how valuable its students were.

In the original story, when a single Wargod died, the entire nation held a memorial service. The occasion had been incredibly grand.

"By the way, call Yang Wu first and confirm his approximate location." Yang Hui reminded him.

"Haha, don't worry. Do you really need to mention such a minor matter?" Zhou Zhengyong laughed. "Oh, his location is already showing. He's in the outskirts of City 0201."

"Then I'll head over directly." Wargod Yang Hui waved his hand and boarded the fighter jet once more.

City 0201.

Yang Wu and the others had hunted numerous lord-level monsters and simply collected the Monster Materials.

Since Yang Wu and Luo Feng were both quite powerful, they had hunted quite a few lord-level monsters, and every person's backpack contained lord-level monster materials.

Yang Wu and Luo Feng were no weaklings, allowing them to defeat stronger prey.

Having only just joined the Fire Hammer Squad and already gained such harvests, they could not help excitedly imagining the future.

After all, the stronger the Fire Hammer Squad's overall strength, the greater their future harvests would be.

Just then, a graceful, deep-blue saucer-shaped fighter jet suddenly began descending and actually stopped right beside them.

"What's a Fighter Jet doing here? It even stopped right in front of us. I wonder who it's looking for." Luo Feng looked puzzled.

"A fighter jet that only a Wargod-level powerhouse can ride?" Gao Feng could not help being shocked.

Whoosh!

The cabin hatch opened.

Yang Wu and Luo Feng looked carefully. Two figures jumped down one after another and walked over, one in front of the other.

Yang Wu and Luo Feng did not recognize the first person, but the person behind him was Zhuge Tao, a director of the Limit Martial Hall in Jiangnan Base City!

"Yang Wu, let me introduce you first." Zhuge Tao pointed toward the newcomer. "This is the Headquarters Special Envoy from Global Headquarters, 'Mr. Yang, the Wargod.'"

Mr. Yang, the Wargod, only nodded and did not say much to the others. He walked directly toward Yang Wu.

Headquarters had Yang Wu's information and photograph. Yang Hui could recognize him without difficulty.

The scene immediately left the other Fire Hammer Squad Warriors confused. Why was this Headquarters Special Envoy staring at Yang Wu?

After thinking of a certain possibility, the members of the Fire Hammer Squad immediately became dejected.

"You're Yang Wu?" Yang Hui asked directly.

"Yes, Mr. Yang." Yang Wu hurriedly responded.

"Then come with me. Get on the fighter jet first." Yang Hui urged him, while looking at the Fire Hammer Squad members beside him.

"Gao Feng, starting today, Yang Wu may very well no longer train with your Fire Hammer Squad in the Wilderness Area. Prepare yourselves in advance."

What?

Although Luo Feng and the other Fire Hammer Squad Warriors had long since guessed it, they were still immensely shocked.

Under the envious gazes of the group, Yang Wu boarded the Fighter Jet together with Zhuge Tao and Special Envoy Yang Hui.

The saucer-shaped fighter jet rapidly rose into the sky, eventually transforming into a streak of deep-blue light that vanished into the distant horizon.

They had been imagining the future just moments earlier, but now Gao Feng, Chen Gu, and the others wore deeply dejected expressions.

They all realized that Yang Wu would no longer be a member of the Fire Hammer Squad. After all, Yang Hui's words had already made that perfectly clear.

"Yang Wu is probably going to the Martial Hall's Global Headquarters. At the very least, he'll receive Special Training." Gao Feng sighed with deep emotion.

"That's right. After all, the first time he cultivated the Five Hearts Facing Heaven Method, his punching strength increased by 4,000 kilograms."

"Now he has even comprehended the Nine-layered Thunder Blade, Microscopic-level Movement Technique, and Proficient-level Saber Technique. He's a genius."

"His strength and potential certainly qualify him for a Special Training Contract."

"I think there's even a possibility he'll enter the Elite Training Camp."

"The Elite Training Camp? Don't say things like that carelessly. Across all of China, there's only about one spot available per year on average."

"If it's merely Special Training, all that's needed is for a director to submit an application and a Special Envoy to come inspect him. Why would a Wargod come all the way to the Wilderness Area to find Yang Wu?"

"Could it really be the legendary... War God Reserve Camp?"

Luo Feng and the others all drew a sharp breath, their expressions changing slightly.

Everyone knew of the legendary Global Number One training camp.

The fighter jet was incredibly fast. Before long, they arrived at the Limit Martial Hall Headquarters in Jiangnan Base City.

"Yang Wu, you may not yet understand why I'm here." Yang Hui explained.

"Our Limit Martial Hall Global Headquarters has two training camps: the Basic Training Camp and the Elite Training Camp. You know about them, right?"

"I've heard of them." Yang Wu nodded.

"I came this time to determine whether your potential meets the standards for joining the Elite Training Camp." Yang Hui smiled.

"As for how to determine that, naturally, we'll have to look at your current strength."
