Unexpected Incident

On the other side, Zhuge Tao, one of the four giants of the Limits Pavilion in Jiangnan Base City, was standing outside the Monster Town chatting with the director of the Jiangnan Base City Security Bureau, whose surname was Liu.

"Zhuge, tell me, do you think the little genius your Limits Pavilion recruited this time will be able to outperform the Thunder Dojo in the assessment results?" Liu Dong asked with a smile.

The Limits Pavilion and the Thunder Dojo were founded by the world's number one powerhouse, Hong, and the number two, Thunder God, respectively.

Since their inception, the two dojos had been in constant competition, always striving to get the upper hand over the other in everything they did. The genius martial artists recruited each year were naturally a part of this.

"That little guy Luo Feng is quite steady. I wonder if he'll give me a surprise this time?" Zhuge Tao said quite calmly.

Thinking back to Luo Feng's performance when that genius from the Thunder Dojo had provoked him earlier, a smile appeared on Zhuge Tao's face.

However, whether it was Wan Dong or Luo Feng, they were just talented youngsters. The competition between them was merely a bit of amusement for people like Zhuge Tao to pass the time; it was not something to be taken seriously.

Just then, bursts of monster roars suddenly drifted in from outside the town.

"What's going on?" Zhuge Tao and Liu Dong were startled and looked behind them with immediate vigilance.

They saw several heavy trucks driving toward the Monster Town once again.

"It's the vehicles transporting monsters!" Liu Dong said, puzzled. "What is Hou Zhen doing, transporting monsters at this hour?"

"That's not right!" Zhuge Tao said with a serious expression. "Before the assessment began, Hou Zhen had already transported a batch of monsters inside. Transporting more now must mean something we don't know about has happened. We should go over and take a look together!"

"Agreed!"

With that, Zhuge Tao and the other man walked directly toward the large building where Hou Zhen and Wang Heng were located.

Yang Wu, who had just finished hunting a wave of incoming monsters, was planning to head to another location to continue his hunt. Suddenly, several hurried footsteps came from not far away.

Yang Wu looked up and saw several martial artists wearing military combat uniforms rushing toward him.

"What's going on?" Yang Wu felt a bit puzzled, though he remained inwardly vigilant.

Based on what Yang Wu understood, these people shouldn't have appeared unless a prospective martial artist had pressed the distress button.

"Candidate Yang Wu, please don't be nervous! We are military personnel in charge of the assessment; we just need your cooperation for a moment!"

Seeing the look of vigilance on Yang Wu's face, the leading officer couldn't help but slow his pace, explaining his intentions while taking out his identification.

Yang Wu's expression eased slightly. He nodded at the group and asked, "I am currently undergoing the prospective martial artist assessment. Is there something you need from me?"

The officer looked at the large number of monster carcasses in the surrounding area, feeling quite astonished.

He walked slowly up to Yang Wu and said, "Candidate Yang Wu, our superior from the North Military Region wants to see you. Please come with me!"

Hearing this, Yang Wu understood that his combat scene must have been witnessed by someone.

"Alright!" Yang Wu replied, and then followed the group as they left the Monster Town.

Inside a small room within the large building, Wang Heng and Hou Zhen no longer had the heart to drink.

"Iron Monkey, haven't you found the information on this person yet? Don't let Zhuge Tao from the Limits Pavilion snatch him away!" Wang Heng said.

Giving him to the Huaxia Military was one thing, but if such a genius were snatched away by someone from the Limits Pavilion, he would likely be depressed for a long time.

"I've already sent people to check, but it doesn't happen that fast! Why are you in such a rush? This person might have even been a student at your Thunder Dojo before!" Hou Zhen said calmly.

He already held the advantage, so naturally, he wasn't panicked.

Just then, a knock came at the door.

"They're here!" A look of joy appeared on Hou Zhen's face, and he quickly shouted, "Come in!"

"Hahaha..." Liu Dong's hearty laughter came from outside the door. "Old Hou, you two are really at ease, hiding in here drinking!"

"Why did he come?" Wang Heng and Hou Zhen frowned upon hearing Liu Dong's voice.

Although Hou Zhen and Liu Dong both belonged to Huaxia Country, they belonged to different systems, and there was quite a bit of competition between them.

When Wang Heng and the other man saw that Zhuge Tao had also walked in, they felt even more sullen.

"Zhuge, Old Liu, why have you two come over?"

Hou Zhen's face changed as if by magic; the bitterness from a moment ago was instantly replaced by a smile.

"Old Hou!" Liu Dong didn't stand on ceremony and asked sternly, "Zhuge and I just saw that the soldiers are transporting more monsters into the town. Could there be some kind of problem?"

"No!" A flash of unnaturalness crossed Hou Zhen's face, and he quickly said, "It's just a small miscalculation in the monster count from earlier. If you don't believe me, you can go see for yourselves right now. Come, I'll take you!"

After saying this, Hou Zhen gave Wang Heng a wink and prepared to lead Zhuge Tao and the other man away.

"Old Hou!" Zhuge Tao, who had been watching Hou Zhen's expression the whole time, suddenly said, "You and Old Wang aren't hiding something from Old Liu and me, are you?"

"What could I possibly be hiding from you..." Hou Zhen retorted with a guilty conscience.

"Report!"

Suddenly, another voice sounded from outside the door, but this time, there was no smile on Hou Zhen's face.

Under the gaze of Zhuge Tao and Liu Dong, Hou Zhen had no choice but to let the person in and ask, "What is it?"

"Report, sir!" The officer who entered didn't notice Hou Zhen's expression at all and said directly, "I have found the information on the person you asked me to look for. This person's name is Yang Wu, a high-level student of the Limits Pavilion in Yangzhou City. He only just passed the prospective martial artist assessment last month!"

"Old Hou?" Hearing the incoming officer mention the name of the Limits Pavilion, Zhuge Tao was already inwardly alert and asked directly, "Was he talking about Yang Wu from our Limits Pavilion just now?"

Although Zhuge Tao had no idea who Yang Wu was, that did not stop him from classifying Yang Wu as part of the Extreme Martial Arts Hall.

"This..." Hou Zhen hesitated, unsure whether he should reveal the actual situation.

"Hehe!"

At this moment, Wang Heng of the Thunder Dojo suddenly laughed: "Zhuge, that Yang Wu is merely a trainee at your Extreme Martial Arts Hall; he never signed a contract with you, so how did he become one of your people?"

"Old Wang!" Although Zhuge Tao did not know what had happened, he knew that whatever Wang Heng opposed, he must insist upon: "That Yang Wu is training at my Extreme Martial Arts Hall, so of course he is one of our people. What is there to argue about?"

At this time, Liu Dong wore a look of confusion and asked Hou Zhen directly: "Old Hou, what is going on with this Yang Wu? Could it be related to the monsters that were just transported inside?"

Hou Zhen knew that once Yang Wu was brought here, he would not be able to hide it from Zhuge Tao and the other man, so he simply told them the whole truth.

"What did you say? Warrior-level strength? How is that possible?" Zhuge Tao and Liu Dong were both stunned.

As major figures representing their respective organizations in Jiangnan Base City, it was not as if they had never seen geniuses; on the contrary, they had seen quite a few. However, they had truly never even heard of a genius who could possess Warrior-level strength right after participating in the prospective martial artist assessment!

"Why else would I have been unwilling to tell you just now? Old Wang and I saw it with our own eyes; would I lie to you?" Hou Zhen smiled helplessly: "If you two really don't believe it, don't fight me for him later!"

"Hahaha..." Zhuge Tao and Liu Dong both laughed: "We've known each other for so many years, how could we not trust you?"

Joking aside, how could they not fight over such a genius?

After laughing, Zhuge Tao said solemnly: "If this person truly hasn't consumed any treasures to increase his physical fitness, I'm afraid he could enter the War God Training Camp!"

"The War God Training Camp?" Hou Zhen and the others were somewhat surprised.

"Correct!" Wang Heng of the Thunder Dojo also said: "If this person really increased his strength by nearly eight thousand kilograms through cultivating genetic energy, his talent must be terrifying. Combined with his specialized-level spear technique, entering the War God Training Camp shouldn't be difficult!"

After hearing this, everyone fell into silence.

Just then, Yang Wu followed the leading officer to the outside of the room.

"Reporting!"

The trial promotion starts today; I ask for your continued reading and all kinds of support. If I advance next week, I will add two extra chapters next weekend.
