"For example, some peerless geniuses today can master the Four-layered Thunder Blade within a year or so, while you might not necessarily have been able to do so at their age." Hong smiled faintly.

"So what others can accomplish is not necessarily something we can accomplish."

"After all, every exceptionally gifted cultivator thinks differently, and their ideas for creating Force Exertion methods differ as well."

"Just because we cannot create the correct Force Exertion method does not mean others have no hope of creating one."

"That's true." Lei Shen understood. "Although your combat strength is greater than mine, you are inferior to me in terms of physique and Force Exertion."

"Besides, this junior created the correct Force Exertion method only after drawing upon my Nine-layered Thunder Blade."

"In this respect, it seems I'm still better than Brother Hong!"

"Get lost. Let's talk business. Can you use this video to summarize the path for cultivating the correct Force Exertion method?" Hong asked gravely.

"..." Lei Shen's lips twitched. "Brother Hong, you think too highly of me. It's only a short video, and the correct Force Exertion is shown in just a single punch."

"If I could comprehend the correct path of Force Exertion, I would have started quietly studying it long ago instead of coming to you, Brother Hong."

"Weren't you very proud just now? Why are you deflated already?" Hong teased.

"If I didn't know I was no match for you, I'd definitely spar with you." Lei Shen shook his head slightly.

"By the way, what do you think of Yang Wu, who created the correct Force Exertion method? What do you plan to do?"

"Yang Wu was ordinary before, but now his rate of improvement is incredibly fast—so fast that it is abnormal. He definitely has a secret," Hong said quietly.

"However, everyone has secrets. Some secrets are not even shared with family, so there is no need to force him, is there?"

"After all, what I have always worried about is that one day, Earth may be discovered by powerful nations or factions in the Universe!"

"When that happens, whether humanity on Earth will be exterminated, enslaved and sold as Slaves, or merely survive by luck will be hard to say."

"So first, we must reach the Star-level as soon as possible. Only then will we have the ability to protect Earth."

"Second, if more people like Yang Wu emerge on Earth, things will be easier for us as well."

Why had Limit Martial Hall always been so powerful?

Because of unity.

Hong had also always worked to nurture geniuses and make the martial hall stronger, rather than worrying that a Genius might surpass him!

They said that masters were lonely. At present, Hong no longer had any powerhouse who could rival him, and he had begun to feel that loneliness.

That feeling made everything seem dull and tasteless, and he disliked it greatly.

Now that he saw Yang Wu thriving, Hong felt heartfelt gratification and a sense of mutual appreciation.

On his path toward his own peak, perhaps there would be a worthy opponent in the future.

In truth, Lei Shen was the same as Hong. As the two supreme beings on Earth... what they worried about was the fate of humanity on Earth.

After obtaining numerous ruins, Lei Shen had gained a general understanding of the entire Universe.

There were far too many beings in the Universe stronger than them, while Earthlings were currently far too weak, too insignificant within the vast Universe!

After all, humanity on Earth was merely a group of natives living on this planet...

"Mm." Lei Shen nodded slightly as well.

"Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that Yang Wu once received the inheritance of a powerful figure from the Universe, which is why he has such an exquisite Force Exertion method."

Both he and Hong knew that other civilizations existed in the Universe. Many Councillors and high-ranking government officials knew as well.

Thus, fearing that Ordinary People below would panic, even when they excavated extraterrestrial ruins from the Universe, they merely called them Ancient Civilization Ruins.

But they all knew clearly that these were simply traces left behind by powerful figures who had once come to Earth.

"Those Planet-level Councillors... most of them are already content with their current lives, pretending to be God Spirits before Ordinary People and losing their drive to improve." Hong sighed.

"They seem never to worry about what would happen if Earth were discovered by alien civilizations or powerful figures from the Universe one day!"

"Yes. Earth is too weak. In the cosmic civilizations I excavated, I once saw a video of two Cosmic Level powerhouses fighting." Lei Shen was filled with emotion.

"It was truly unimaginable. Cosmic Level powerhouses could actually fight on a White Dwarf with gravity hundreds of millions of times stronger."

"Fortunately, Yang Wu has risen. Not only are his talent and comprehension impressive, he also seems to possess considerable potential in the path ahead. His future is limitless."

"As for Yang Wu's specific circumstances, I plan to take a look. After all, this concerns the future path of the Nine-layered Thunder Blade."

"Brother Hong, do you want to make a trip as well? After all, a Genius like this should have no problem joining the War God Reserve Camp."

"Alright." Hong nodded. "The reason I obtained this video was because I sent someone to assess whether Yang Wu had the talent to join the War God Reserve Camp."

Jiangnan Base City, Limit Martial Hall Headquarters.

After Yang Hui sent the video to Hong, he soon received Hong's reply approving the proposal to assess Yang Wu for entry into the War God Reserve Camp.

After receiving the reply, Yang Hui quickly printed four standard contracts.

"The training camp does indeed place relatively few restrictions on Warriors." Yang Wu had no objection to the contracts and directly signed all four copies.

"One of these four contracts is yours. The other three are mainly for internal processing within Limit Martial Hall." Yang Hui smiled as he took out the Envoy Seal.

Because this concerned the Elite Training Camp, Yang Hui's personal signature carried no authority. Only the Envoy Seal would suffice.

Smack!

The Jade Seal came down.

"Mr. Yang, are you planning to arrange for Yang Wu's assessment in Jiangnan Base City?" Zhuge Tao looked at Yang Hui in confusion.

"That is indeed the plan. The sooner he undergoes the assessment, the sooner he can join the War God Reserve Camp." Yang Hui nodded.

"Actually, when we went looking for Yang Wu, the President considered it carefully. The procedures for conducting the assessment in the base city are rather troublesome." Zhuge Tao sighed.

"Moreover, whether Yang Wu passes the assessment and joins the Elite Training Camp, or fails the assessment and enters the Basic Training Camp, he will definitely have to go to the Global Headquarters."

"Rather than that, it would be better to take Yang Wu directly to the headquarters for the assessment. That would save some trouble."

"You make a lot of sense." Yang Hui smiled.

Suddenly, two deafening booms rang out in the sky, like thunder tearing through the air.

Warriors throughout Limit Martial Hall Headquarters in Jiangnan Base City turned their heads and looked up.

Boom!

Rumble!!

"Is that Hall Master Hong's aircraft?"

The Warriors in Limit Martial Hall Headquarters in Jiangnan Base City were all stunned.

Hong, the world's strongest expert and the founder of Limit Martial Hall!

Although the Five Great Powers still existed in this era, the strongest force was undoubtedly Limit Martial Hall!

Because the man named Hong could stand alone against the Five Great Powers of the present age. He was the undisputed number one person on Earth!

Although these Warriors had never met Hong, they could still list a string of his titles. After all, Hong was a man written into history textbooks!

"But why would Hong come here?"

The Warriors were shocked at first, but then they became puzzled.
