Clearing Doubts

Hong's sudden arrival left him greatly surprised.

Yet what truly stunned him was that the Grand Guild Master had come all the way to Jiangnan Base City merely for someone who had just passed the warrior assessment.

Back then, when Zhuge Tao uploaded Yang Wu's information, he had not included his Advanced Warrior Level physical fitness.

However, he had forgotten that the testing machines at the Limit Hall were connected to the data at the Limit Main Hall, and the punch strength testing machine data at the Limit Main Hall was naturally connected to headquarters as well.

The moment Yang Wu's information was uploaded—

Entrance Level movement technique, less than a month of cultivating Genetic Force, Advanced Warrior Level physical fitness—this set of abnormal data immediately caught the attention of headquarters' intelligence system.

It was then reported to Hong, and less than two months later, Hong issued a strange order to the upper ranks of the Limit Martial Hall.

Maintain attention! Maintain distance! Maintain silence!

"The Grand Guild Master's decision was indeed wise. He didn't let anyone interfere with your path and allowed you to develop on your own."

"But what I never expected was that in just a few short months, your strength would already have reached this level."

Yang Wu's rate of growth had truly exceeded Inspector Liu's expectations.

In just a few months, in the blink of an eye, Yang Wu had grown from a little sapling into a towering tree.

A High War God!

In terms of strength, he was nearly on equal footing with him!

"Yang Wu, you bought the third level of World Destruction half a month ago. Could it be that you..."

Inspector Liu was rather curious about this as well. After all, he also cultivated the World Destruction spear technique.

Over the past decade or so, he had already cultivated the World Destruction spear technique to the fourth level, and had now touched upon the threshold of its fifth level.

"Yes, I broke through to the third level."

"As expected, you've already broken through to the thi—what?"

"The third level?"

Inspector Liu was utterly dumbfounded. Successfully breaking through to the third level in half a month—compared to his own turtle-like cultivation speed, how was he supposed to live with that?

"No wonder the Guild Master didn't use the machine to test you when he came."

"With the talent and comprehension you've displayed, even if you had taken some treasure that enhanced physical fitness, it no longer matters."

For a moment, Inspector Liu felt deeply emotional. Back then, he too had been considered a genius, and over the years, he had seen many talented individuals.

Yet not a single one had grown as rapidly as Yang Wu. Not even Grand Guild Master Hong had cultivated at such an astonishing speed.

"Yang Wu, you must have had doubts. With the astounding talent you've displayed during this time, why hasn't any other faction come to recruit you?"

Only after a long while did Inspector Liu calm himself and slowly bring up this matter.

And this was indeed something Yang Wu had wondered about.

Ever since he had displayed his talent at the Limit Main Hall and received Supervisor Zhuge Tao's first investment, he had prepared himself to face all the storms that were bound to follow.

Yet his life had remained exactly the same as before. Nothing had changed at all.

And when he thought of those super geniuses, once their talent was revealed, all kinds of factions would come trying to poach them.

The government and military would recruit them, special organizations would recruit them, or certain families from the HR Alliance would recruit them...

They might use money to corrupt them, beautiful women to tempt them, power to entice them... In short, they would rack their brains for every possible way to poach such super geniuses.

Everyone else's life was full of upheaval and turmoil. Why was everything so calm when it came to him?

It felt a little like—

A single-player game!

"That's because the Grand Guild Master personally gave the order and designated you as a core member of our Limit Martial Hall."

"Otherwise, with how monstrous you are, how could no one have come to poach you?"

Generally speaking, even if someone had joined a faction, as long as they were not an internal core member and had not come into contact with its core secrets—

That faction would not forcibly prevent the member from leaving. At most, the person would need to pay a penalty for breaking the contract.

Therefore, even members of the Limit Martial Hall could be poached by other factions as long as they had not yet become core members.

Of course, that was only under normal circumstances. As for certain powerful factions, they did not care whether you were a core member or whether you had been exposed to core secrets.

What they wanted was simply you!

But at the very least, within the Limit Martial Hall, especially when it came to Hong's decisions, no one dared stroke the tiger's whiskers.

Seeing Yang Wu's confusion, Inspector Liu slowly explained the reasons.

With Hong's deliberate order in place, other factions naturally did not dare stroke the tiger's whiskers. Yet precisely because of this, Yang Wu had attracted even more attention.

His movements and his past were likely already in the hands of those factions watching him.

However, there was one thing Yang Wu had not expected.

The testing machine in his villa had merely been specially installed by Zhuge Tao to make it easier for him to test his strength.

With Supervisor Zhuge Tao's authority, installing some higher-end testing equipment was hardly an abuse of power.

Jiangnan Base City, main urban district, airport.

Just as Inspector Liu was clearing up Yang Wu's doubts, the airport welcomed a special passenger.

In the airport waiting area stood Zhou Zhengyong, president of the Limit Main Hall, along with the three supervisors under him.

The four giants had gathered here to welcome a guest from afar.

Soon, a gigantic dark-blue disc-shaped passenger aircraft passed through the city's defense system before slowly descending and landing at the airport.

The cabin doors opened, extending a staircase passageway as passengers filed out of the plane.

"Old Yang!"

The moment he saw that familiar figure, Zhou Zhengyong, president of the Limit Main Hall, hurriedly called out.

"Haha, Iron Hand. Long time no see."

A middle-aged man in a gray robe walked over with a smile.

"Old Yang, in the blink of an eye, it's been nearly eight years since we last met. Headquarters sent you here this time for Yang Wu, didn't they?"

After exchanging a hug with the middle-aged man, Iron Hand Zhou Zhengyong asked with a smile.

"Mr. Yang!"

Zhuge Tao and the other two supervisors beside him also called out respectfully.

The Envoy Yang Hui before them, sent from headquarters, was an Intermediate War God Level warrior. Whether in strength or status, he was on par with Zhou Zhengyong, known as Iron Hand.

"It has indeed been eight years."

"I came this time mainly to bring Yang Wu to headquarters. The Guild Master personally instructed it."

Guild Master!

The moment those words came from Envoy Yang Hui's mouth, the expressions of the three supervisors beside him, including Zhou Zhengyong, immediately turned solemn.

"I never expected that Yang Wu would actually alarm the Guild Master."

Zhou Zhengyong said with some emotion.

"Exactly. You have no idea—when the Guild Master's order was issued, the people at headquarters nearly argued the roof off."

"Enough of that. I'll go pay my respects to the Inspector first."

As though recalling the faces of certain people at headquarters, Yang Hui shook his head.

"Let's go. The Inspector is at the Limit Main Hall. We'll go pay our respects together."

At once, headquarters envoy Yang Hui and the four giants of the Jiangnan Base City Limit Martial Hall left the airport together.

They headed for the Limit Main Hall.
