Training Contract

Elite Training Camp.

The blazing sun hung high in the sky, constantly scattering its dazzling radiance.

Yang Wu and Yang Hui exited the virtual space, chatting as they left the Ninefold Tower and returned to the two-story building where they were staying temporarily.

"Ring, ring, ring..."

A pleasant ringtone sounded. Yang Hui checked his communications watch, quickly wiped the broad smile from his face, and solemnly pressed the answer button.

"Inspector General Wang!"

"Yang Hui, bring Yang Wu to see me."

A slightly hoarse voice came through the communications watch. After a brief pause, it added,

"Right now!"

"Yes."

Yang Hui hurriedly answered. Yang Wu's outstanding performance in virtual space was bound to earn him a summons from above sooner or later.

He simply had not expected that summons to come so quickly. They had barely left virtual space when the order from above arrived.

Since when had meetings upstairs become so efficient?

"Yang Wu, let's go!"

"Inspector General Wang wants to see you."

With a wave of his hand, Yang Hui immediately changed direction and led Yang Wu toward the next location.

Of Limit Martial Hall's five Inspector Generals, only two were stationed in Hongning Base City. Patrol Inspector Liu was at headquarters, mainly handling diplomatic affairs.

Inspector General Wang, meanwhile, due to his personality, had long been stationed at the Elite Training Camp, chiefly overseeing the training of geniuses.

Stationed at the training camp all this time?

No wonder Inspector General Wang was permanent while the protagonists kept changing...

After passing through layers of small woods, the two entered the teachers' residential area and arrived before an ordinary-looking villa.

After entering the villa, Yang Hui waited on the first floor while Yang Wu followed the butler upstairs, soon stopping outside a reception room.

"Mr. Yang Wu, the Inspector General is inside."

Yang Wu pushed open the door and stepped in. Behind him, the old butler gently closed the door.

The reception room was enormous and completely empty.

Only a tea table stood in the very center. There was no other furniture, nor were there any flowers or plants for decoration.

Across the tea table sat a lean man with a thin mustache, cross-legged in meditation. His eyes were closed as his fingers continuously rolled a string of prayer beads.

Several sheets of paper lay scattered across the tea table before him, along with a purple clay teapot and a steaming cup of tea.

The fragrance of tea filled the room, soothing the heart and lungs.

Yang Wu gave him a rough once-over and swiftly reached a conclusion. This was a shut-in, and a veteran shut-in at that.

"Inspector General." Yang Wu bowed slightly.

The lean man stopped rolling his prayer beads and opened his eyes to examine Yang Wu. The moment Yang Wu met those eyes, an invisible pressure abruptly settled over his heart.

This pressure was not deliberate. It was a natural suppression arising from the difference in their levels of life.

The suppression was not too intense. As long as he did not meet the man's gaze, it was basically no problem.

"Sit."

After sizing Yang Wu up, Inspector General Wang smiled slightly. His attitude was even better than Yang Wu had expected.

Yang Wu did not stand on ceremony. Following Inspector General Wang's example, he sat cross-legged on the floor.

"This contract is Limit Martial Hall's official recruitment contract. Read it carefully and see whether you have any questions."

Inspector General Wang pointed at the contract on the table and spoke calmly.

Yang Wu picked up the contract and read it carefully.

Ordinary martial artists who joined Limit Martial Hall received no salary, but likewise bore no obligations. Limit Martial Hall did not impose many requirements on them.

They were free to come and go!

The term "freelance martial artist" came from joining a martial hall under such terms.

An official recruitment contract, however, recruited one into Limit Martial Hall's true core. One gained greater authority and benefits, but also shouldered greater obligations and responsibilities.

The genius training contract Yang Wu had previously signed with Limit Martial Hall still allowed him to join another faction if he paid the penalty for breach of contract.

But once he signed this contract, it meant he could no longer join any other faction.

The contract mainly covered several areas.

First, Yang Wu could receive 10 billion Hua Xia currency in operating funds every year, treatment comparable to that of an Inspector stationed over an entire base city.

Second, once Yang Wu formally signed the contract, he would immediately be assigned a private training room within the camp, with the period of use provisionally set at three years.

What truly surprised Yang Wu was the third page of the contract.

[If Party B reaches a force amplitude of 4 times before September 1, 2056, Party B will receive: one complete set of any manual, one S-Grade Weapon, and one complete set of S-Grade combat uniform.]

[If Party B reaches a force amplitude of 5 times before December 1, 2056, and either gun technique or movement technique reaches the Artistic Conception level, Party B will receive: three complete sets of any manuals and one Black God Set (repayment required).]

[If Party B reaches a force amplitude of 6 times before March 1, 2057, and both gun technique and movement technique reach the Artistic Conception level, Party B will receive: one Plant Spirit and one King-Level Intelligent Fighter Jet.]

[If Party B reaches Trial Tower level 5 before June 1, 2057, Party B will receive: one Black God Set (no repayment required).]

[If Party B reaches Trial Tower level 6 before September 1, 2057, Party B will receive: one Ancient Civilization Gravity Room.]

Plant Spirit, King-Level Intelligent Fighter Jet, Black God Set, Ancient Civilization Gravity Room.

The terms were so generous that even Yang Wu found them difficult to refuse. Though he had been mentally prepared, he still had not expected Limit Martial Hall to offer such astonishing treatment.

He was fairly familiar with Plant Spirits, after all. He had already consumed two of them, and a large amount of their medicinal effects still remained in his body.

Moreover, the limit to which a Plant Spirit could improve one's physical fitness was merely the peak of High War God level, so it did not hold much appeal for him.

More importantly, the rewards listed afterward were each more enviable and explosive than the last.

And now, all he needed to do was move his finger lightly and sign his name on the contract. These benefits delivered right to his doorstep would be his.

"Do you have any doubts?"

Seeing Yang Wu hesitate, Inspector General Wang stopped rolling his prayer beads and slowly asked.

"Inspector General, this first reward clause..."

Yang Wu voiced his doubt. Why did this first reward clause feel like a free gift?

As long as he signed his name, he could immediately receive one complete set of any manual, an S-Grade Weapon, and a complete set of S-Grade combat uniform.

"You guessed correctly. It is a free gift!"

"This first reward clause was temporarily added by Hall Master Hong after you reached the fourth floor of the Trial Tower. It counts as an additional reward for you."

"This entire contract was personally drafted by the Hall Master. When it was issued, it caused quite a bit of objection among the other Inspector Generals."

"As for the Ancient Civilization Gravity Room, its value is enough to make even us Inspector Generals extremely envious. The Hall Master will personally award it to you as well."

Yang Wu nodded. The rewards were abundant, but the conditions were equally far from simple.

Even if Luo Feng were given these conditions, he would be unable to fulfill them. But for someone like him with a cheat, they were practically free gifts.

Yang Wu no longer hesitated and immediately signed his name on the contract. Only after signing the official recruitment contract did he become a true core member of Limit Martial Hall.

"Mm. The reward from the first clause will be delivered to you tonight. Go back and wait."

Inspector General Wang accepted the contract. After nodding, he closed his eyes again and rolled the ancient prayer beads in his hand, signaling that Yang Wu could leave.
