Soon, as their many neighbors in Lanta Residential Area watched them go, Yang Wu's family left in a luxury car, with a large truck following behind.

Half an hour later, Yang Wu and the others arrived safely at the entrance to Mingyue Residential Quarter.

Faced with the heavily guarded entrance, their convoy could go no farther.

Yang Wu got out of the car and walked forward a few steps, ready to show his credentials.

An elderly man with graying hair also came out of the guard room at the entrance to Mingyue Residential Quarter. He said with a hearty smile, "I was wondering who'd be moving in so late. So it's you, Yang Wu! You're lucky—the notice only just reached me. If it hadn't arrived, you'd probably have had to move back!"

Yang Wu smiled. "Uncle Wang, I only moved because I knew the notice had arrived."

"All right, it's getting late. We'll talk another time!" The elderly man took the credentials from Yang Wu and, after verifying them, said with a hearty smile, "Yang Wu, those movers can't come in. We have people here to handle the moving."

With that, the old man used his pager to call for people to help with the move.

"I understand!" Yang Wu nodded, then smiled at Wang Zijin, who had come over beside him. "Brother Wang, what do you think?"

"No worries!" Wang Zijin smiled. "It doesn't matter if I can't go in. Get settled first, and I'll come visit you later when I have time, Wu."

As the Extreme Martial Arts Hall's headquarters in Yangzhou City, Mingyue Residential Quarter was home to martial artists and their families. In other words, its residents were all among the city's elite.

Wang Zijin certainly hoped to go inside for a look. He might even meet someone who could help him. But he also knew not to overdo it. It was already late, and Yang Wu's family still had to get settled in their new home, so this wasn't the best time for a visit.

"Sure!" Yang Wu said with a smile. "Brother Wang, whenever you're free, just come by. But give me a call before you do, so I can let the people at the entrance know."

"No problem! Just don't get sick of me, Wu," Wang Zijin replied.

While Yang Wu and Wang Zijin chatted, seven or eight soldiers had already come running out of the residential quarter. They swiftly began unloading the Yang family's belongings from the truck.

Once everything had been unloaded, Yang Wu said goodbye to Wang Zijin and led his family into Mingyue Residential Quarter, watched enviously by the moving company's employees.

"Mr. Yang Wu!" A young woman holding a clipboard stood in front of the soldiers in charge of moving the belongings. Pointing to a villa a short distance ahead, she smiled at Yang Wu. "That's Villa 201, your home. It has three floors, a basement, and an extra-large rooftop terrace. The total area is 512 square meters. Including the basement, courtyard, and terrace, it comes to nearly 800 square meters!"

"Of course, Mr. Yang Wu, you only have the right to use this villa, not the right to sell it!"

"I know," Yang Wu nodded.

"Brother Yang!"

A familiar voice rang out.

Yang Wu turned around and saw Luo Feng coming out of a nearby villa.

Luo Feng hurried over to Yang Wu. After greeting Yang Wu's family, he asked in displeasure, "Brother Yang, why didn't you tell me you were moving?"

Yang Wu smiled. "I only decided at the last minute. I thought I'd get in touch with you once I arrived!"

"In that case," Luo Feng said with a smile, "once you're settled in, bring your parents over to my place for dinner. We'll celebrate your arrival!"

"Sure!" Yang Wu thought for a moment, then agreed.

Although Yang Wu no longer planned to rely on Luo Feng, after three years, their friendship had grown beyond any benefits either of them might gain.

With Luo Feng and the Martial Arts Hall staff helping out, Yang Wu's family soon finished setting up the villa. They then went to Luo Feng's home for dinner.

That evening, both families were in high spirits, because Yang Wu and Luo Feng had both passed the Quasi-Martial Artist practical exam.

By around ten that night, Yang Wu's family had all gone to bed after a busy day.

But Yang Wu, whose physical fitness had already reached the elementary War General level, didn't feel tired at all. He was sitting alone in a Quiet Room inside the villa.

After passing the fingerprint verification, Yang Wu successfully entered the internal network for martial artists under the Extreme Martial Arts Hall—the Extreme Home!

After entering Extreme Home, the first things Yang Wu saw were his balance of fifty million and two flashing emails.

Yang Wu lightly tapped the screen and opened one of the emails.

"Hello, Mr. Yang Wu!" A middle-aged man in a black suit appeared on the screen before Yang Wu, smiling. "I'm Supervisor Zhuge's assistant. I believe you've seen the fifty million in funds the supervisor promised you. As for the money to buy various manuals, you can have the cost deducted directly when you make a purchase through the internal network, as long as the price doesn't exceed one hundred million. You'll have to pay for anything over that amount yourself.

"I'd also like to inform you on behalf of the supervisor that September is when the Global Basic Training Camp begins. If you plan to attend, please contact the supervisor as soon as possible."

The middle-aged man finished speaking, and the video ended.

"Basic Training Camp?" Yang Wu smiled faintly and casually opened the second email.

He didn't plan to attend the Basic Training Camp. With the Simulator, his strength would surely improve by leaps and bounds. If he went to a training camp, it would be the Elite Training Camp.

Since he couldn't enter the Elite Training Camp yet, he might as well join a martial artist squad and hunt monsters in the Wilderness Area.

The second email was also a video, but the middle-aged man had been replaced by a sweet-looking young woman.

"Dear newly promoted martial artist Yang Wu, hello! On behalf of the Extreme Martial Arts Hall, I'd like to welcome you to our big family."

The young woman smiled. "Since this is your first time entering Extreme Home, I'll introduce you to what it can do."

"Here, you can buy weapons and equipment of all levels, as well as various manuals. You can find anything you need, as long as you have enough money."

"Once your payment is confirmed, your goods will be delivered to the location you specify within 24 hours."

"Through Extreme Home, you can even hire War General Level martial artists, or even War God Level martial artists, to guide your training, as long as you have enough money."

"Of course, if you have enough Contribution Points, all the items mentioned above will cost half as much!"

"Finally, I hope you'll reach the pinnacle of martial arts as part of the big family that is our Extreme Martial Arts Hall!"

The young woman bowed slightly, and the video ended.
