Pass

They arrived at the top floor of the spaceship headquarters, passed through a long corridor, and Inspector Wang and his companion came to a door to a secret room. He said to the black-clad attendant beside him, "I wish to see the Head of Martial Hall."

"I will announce you immediately." The black-clad attendant bowed respectfully to Inspector Wang and replied with deference.

The black-clad attendant turned and entered the secret room, emerging less than a minute later.

"The Head has agreed to see you. Please follow me inside," the black-clad attendant said to the two of them upon exiting.

Entering the secret room, it was quite spacious inside, but the decor was extremely simple, with just a few meditation cushions placed about.

In the center of the room sat a young man cross-legged. He wore a black Training Robe, stood one meter ninety tall, and kept a crew cut, appearing to be in his twenties. Yet his aura made it impossible for anyone to overlook him. He was like a long spear about to pierce the heavens; the space around him seemed completely warped, as if the very world revolved around him.

This was Hong, the current strongest martial artist on Earth, who had comprehended the legendary Light Domain.

"Head of Martial Hall." Inspector Wang and the other man both bowed upon seeing this person.

"Is there something?" Hong spoke.

"It's like this..." The manager in charge of the House of Extremes recounted the entire matter to Hong in detail.

"An orphan who became a Martial Artist half a year ago? Young people these days are truly remarkable!" Even Hong was slightly surprised. In just half a year, not only had his martial path cultivation progressed extremely quickly, but he had also created seven secret manuals. Hong asked himself if he could do the same.

"Having received the recommendation from Jiangnan Base City, we made our decision and dispatched Yang Hui to conduct the assessment. He should be departing within the next two days," Inspector Wang added from the side.

Hong, seated in the center of the secret room, had already skimmed through one of the seven manuals, Iron Body. As a grandmaster who had forged his own path in the Martial Path, he instantly grasped its essence. The muscular force throughout his body shifted and changed continuously. The first and second layers of Iron Body were cultivated successfully in an instant. Feeling the changes in his body, he praised without reservation, "Truly exquisite."

He picked up the laptop again and continued browsing through the remaining manuals, testing each one. "Contact him immediately. I want to understand his thoughts," Hong instructed the two men.

"Yes, Head of Martial Hall." The two immediately agreed.

The manager then sent a communication request to Bai Yue. At that moment, Bai Yue had just finished purchasing his secret manuals and was preparing to train a bit more. Suddenly receiving the communication request, he didn't think much of it and answered.

"Hello, Mr. Bai Yue. This is a staff member from the House of Extremes. May I ask if you just uploaded seven secret manuals?" The voice on the other end came through as soon as the call connected.

"Yes, I uploaded them," Bai Yue replied.

"We have completed the review on our end. We're now confirming with you whether you want all of them listed for sale?" The questioning voice continued.

"I plan to gift the Body Training Secret Manual to the Limit Martial Hall, to be taught free of charge to all martial hall trainees. The other six will be sold normally." This was a decision he had made after careful consideration. Having grown up an orphan and benefited from society's welfare, it was time to give back. Moreover, the Body Training Secret Manual was most useful for those who hadn't cultivated Gene Energy, but such people's financial means were far inferior to those of Martial Artists.

Hearing his words, Hong and the other two were momentarily stunned, then silently praised him in their hearts.

"Mr. Bai, on behalf of the Limit Martial Hall, I express our gratitude for your selfless contribution. With this manual of yours, humanity will produce more Martial Artists, our strength will grow ever greater, and one day, we will drive back the monsters and reclaim our lost lands!" Inspector Wang's voice came through the Communication Watch.

"I only did what I should. Compared to the heroes who sacrificed themselves during the Great Nirvana Era, it's insignificant."

Bai Yue spoke sincerely. This was his true feeling. Whether in this life or his previous one, he held genuine respect for those who contributed to humanity.

"Regardless, Mr. Bai, your merit is boundless. People will remember your selfless contribution!" Inspector Wang said.

"As for the other six manuals, we will have professionals assess their value and notify you via text message," the manager added from the side.

After hanging up, Hong, who was beside them, said, "An interesting young man."

"It's rare to find someone with such a Pure Heart," Inspector Wang remarked with a sigh.

"Don't take a cut from his manuals. When he arrives at headquarters, let him choose any one set of manuals freely. Prepare a portion of Dragon Blood. Have Yang Hui go pick him up tomorrow. I want to meet him then too." Hong left these final instructions. He didn't even mention the assessment; he simply said to go pick him up. In his heart, he felt that someone capable of creating such manuals passing the assessment was a foregone conclusion.

"Yes, Head of Martial Hall," Inspector Wang replied respectfully.

Bai Yue, on his end, was still unaware that Hong already knew about him, but he was also somewhat surprised. He hadn't expected the House of Extremes staff to be so efficient—completing the review in less than two hours after his upload.

But he didn't dwell on it and continued training as he pleased. As for the manuals he had just purchased, they would still take some time to be delivered.

Before he knew it, it was four in the afternoon. Bai Yue's villa doorbell rang. The person delivering the manuals from the House of Extremes had arrived. Opening the door, several staff members carrying a large box entered the villa. After a series of authentication procedures, they successfully handed over the manuals to Bai Yue.

After seeing the staff out, Bai Yue couldn't wait to bring the box containing the manuals to the second-floor training room. Opening the box, he browsed through them one by one and decided to start training with Nine Heavens Thunder Blade. After all, it was one of only two ultimate-level manuals and should offer many different force application techniques.

Spending over an hour browsing through the four layers of Nine Heavens Thunder Blade he had purchased several times, he took a training Battle Saber from the nearby weapon rack and began to train.

Having already accumulated considerable experience in training Martial Skills, Bai Yue found the practice quite smooth. He quickly became immersed, training with complete abandon.

Before he knew it, it was nine in the evening. After several hours of training, he had already mastered the first layer of the Nine Heavens Thunder Blade and was now working on the second layer. Inside the second-floor training room, several afterimages of Bai Yue swung the saber forward in different stances. The saber flashed like sudden thunder, his body moving with the blade. The very air before him seemed to be cut through. The next second, the afterimages converged into one—Bai Yue, who had already sheathed his saber and stood still. The second layer of Nine Heavens Thunder Blade was complete!

The second layer of Nine Heavens Thunder Blade allowed each attack to carry two additional layers of Dark Force, each layer possessing 0.7 times the original body's strength, enabling an attack equivalent to 2.8 times the original power. The reason he could master the second layer so quickly was that some of its force application methods were shared with World Destroyer.

"Once I've learned all these force application techniques, I should be able to deduce a few more layers of World Destroyer! Or create a manual suited to myself," Bai Yue thought to himself.

This wasn't overreaching; it was a plan for his own cultivation. While training in World Destroyer, even after mastering all the techniques and innovating upon them, he always felt a sense of incompleteness. This meant his body and mind weren't fully invested in executing the martial skills. Perhaps after extensive practice and integration, he could comprehend the Artistic Conception the original creator had when writing it, but it was clear this path wasn't perfect. No one could replicate it one hundred percent.

Though his mind wandered to future matters, the most pressing issue at hand was eating. Feeling the protest from his stomach, he could only get up and head to the kitchen to find something to eat.
