The Special Training Contract

Within the red circle, Su You initially calculated the bullets' trajectories at high speed. Gradually, however, he entered a state of mental clarity, seeming to dodge entirely unconsciously. He didn't even seem to notice the changing speed of the bullets coming from the openings.

"Mm, that's about enough." Kuang Qiu glanced at Su You inside the red circle, then turned and pressed a button. The openings on the tester quickly slowed to a stop, and three lines of data appeared in succession on the central screen.

"Hit 7 times within 60 seconds; did not touch the red light; excellent."

"Not hit within 60 seconds; did not touch the red light; perfect score for Intermediate Warrior."

"Not hit within 60 seconds; did not touch the red light; perfect score for Intermediate Warrior."

Standing beside the tester, Kuang Qiu beamed. "Su You, congratulations. Once the official documents come through and your information is entered into the citizen database, you'll be a Quasi-Martial Artist."

Su You nodded. He'd expected this result. What he cared about now was whether his ability was good enough to sign a Special Training Contract and enter the Basic Training Camp—or even whether he had a chance of getting into the Elite Training Camp.

"Haha, you're pretty calm!" Kuang Qiu chuckled, then asked seriously, "Su You, would you be willing to join the Extreme Martial Arts Hall ahead of time? Don't worry, the conditions we offer won't be worse than those of any other organization!

"With your performance, you'll have no trouble signing a Special Training Contract. The terms of those contracts are all the same.

"In addition to a villa, you'll receive one hundred million Huaxia Currency in start-up funds. You can also purchase one Guidance Technique, one combat technique manual, and one movement technique manual free of charge, as long as the total price doesn't exceed five hundred million Huaxia Currency. You'll have to pay for anything over that amount yourself.

"Most importantly, you'll be able to enter the Basic Training Camp and receive the best training for three years. If you perform well, you might even get the chance to enter the legendary Elite Training Camp.

"Oh, Uncle Li must have told you about the Basic Training Camp and Elite Training Camp, right?"

Su You nodded. Uncle Li had indeed told him about them before. And with his memories from his previous life, he figured he knew even more about the Elite Training Camp than Kuang Qiu did!

"So, what do you think? Are you willing to join the Extreme Martial Arts Hall ahead of time?" Kuang Qiu asked earnestly.

Su You nodded without hesitation. Since he knew the plot, joining the Extreme Martial Arts Hall was undoubtedly the best way for him to grow as quickly as possible.

"Good. I'll report this to the president right now. A genius like you needs to be evaluated by someone from Global Headquarters, so only an Inspector or a head of a hall has that authority in the entire Base City. Even the three department heads can't do it."

Kuang Qiu explained with a smile as he took out his phone and called Global Headquarters.

Soon, the phone screen showed a burly-looking man. It was "Ba Dao" Tang Xilie, president of the Extreme Martial Arts Hall in Kyoto Base City and a High-level War God.

"Kuang Qiu, what is it?"

Kuang Qiu was beaming with excitement as he spoke at top speed. "President, we've got a genius here in Tianjin City. He's seventeen years old, and his punching power increased by more than two thousand kilograms the first time he trained in Genetic Origin Energy. His speed is 61.1 m/s, and most impressively, his movement technique is already at the Micro-level."

"Oh? Seventeen years old and at the Micro-level?" The burly man exclaimed in surprise, then said, "That's already beyond the standard for a Special Training Contract. Bring him to Headquarters now."

"Understood. I'll be right over." As soon as the call ended, Kuang Qiu smiled at Su You. "Su You, come with me to Headquarters now."

Kuang Qiu then turned to Li Da and the others. "Uncle Li, I'll leave the remaining tests to you. The rest of you, give him a hand. Once you're done, put the results on my desk."

"Yes," Li Da and the others replied in unison.

Kuang Qiu grabbed Su You and hurried outside.

"Old Li, you lucky son of a gun! You've got to treat us once the tests are over."

"Yeah, you have to!"

Li Da burst out laughing. "Haha, no problem. Eat as much as you like later."

After leaving the training hall with Chief Instructor Kuang Qiu, Su You called his parents to let them know he might be late, so they wouldn't worry.

Then he boarded a train to Kyoto Base City with the chief instructor. It was the first time in this life that Su You had taken one of these trains.

Since the trains had to travel through the wilderness, comfort wasn't much of a priority. They were even less comfortable than the old-fashioned trains he'd ridden in his previous life.

Before long, Su You and Kuang Qiu arrived on the thirty-first floor of the Kyoto Base City Extreme General Hall. It was a vast, empty training hall.

At that moment, "Ba Dao" Tang Xilie, dressed in black training clothes, was sitting cross-legged on the floor. Behind him stood a middle-aged man in a Tang suit and four men and women in white suits.

"President. Supervisor Wang." Kuang Qiu greeted the president and the middle-aged man in the Tang suit in turn. Su You followed his lead.

President Tang Xilie nodded, then said directly, "Let's get started. Begin the tests."

The four people in white suits immediately got to work. In an instant, all the recording equipment in the training hall switched on. They were clearly going to record Su You's entire test.

"Punching power, speed, and neural reaction, in that order," Supervisor Wang said, signaling Su You to step forward and begin.

The punching power and speed tests were soon over, and the results weren't much different from those he'd gotten in Tianjin City.

Beside the Neural Reaction Tester, a woman in a white suit pressed the red button. Dozens of openings immediately began spinning faster, and a stream of red bullets shot into the red circle.

Inside the red circle, Su You remained calm, dodging at an unhurried pace. Each movement was perfectly timed, letting him evade the red bullets with ease.

President Tang Xilie smiled. "Not bad. You're already close to mastering the Micro-level. In a few years, you should have a good chance of entering the Elite Training Camp!"

Supervisor Wang's eyes lit up, and his smile grew wider.

"All right, stop there," the president instructed.

The woman in the white suit pressed the button at once. The red bullets stopped firing, and the dozens of openings quickly slowed down.

Su You stepped off the tester. President Tang Xilie said, "Old Wang, submit an application for a Special Training assessment to Global Headquarters. Remember to send them the video we just recorded, too."

"Understood," Supervisor Wang replied.

As soon as the president finished speaking, he left the training hall. Supervisor Wang turned to Su You and asked, "Su You, Kuang Qiu must have told you the terms of the Special Training Contract, right?"

"Yes."

"One villa, one hundred million in start-up funds, and three manuals priced at no more than five hundred million in total, correct?"

Su You nodded again.

Supervisor Wang smiled and said to a woman in a white suit beside him,

"Draw up an S-Class Contract for Special Training. Increase the allowance for the movement technique, Guidance Technique, and Attack Technique to one billion. Anything priced at a billion or less will be free. I'll cover the cost."

"An S-Class Contract?" Su You asked, puzzled.

Supervisor Wang smiled and explained. Only then did Su You understand that the so-called Special Training Contract was actually divided into two parts.

One part was signed with the Extreme Martial Arts Hall's branch, and covered the start-up funds, villa, and allowance for purchasing manuals—in other words, the S-Class Contract.

The other part was signed with Global Headquarters, and granted entry to the Basic Training Camp.
