Within the red circle, Su You initially calculated the trajectory of the bullets rapidly, but he gradually slipped into an ethereal state. He seemed to be dodging completely unconsciously, not even noticing the changes in the speed of the bullets firing from the apertures.

"Hmm, that's enough." Kuang Qiu glanced at Su You within the red circle, turned, and pressed a button. The apertures on the testing machine quickly decelerated and stopped rotating, while three lines of data appeared in succession on the central screen.

60 seconds, hit 7 times, no contact with red light, Excellent. 60 seconds, zero hits, no contact with red light, Intermediate Fighter full marks. 60 seconds, zero hits, no contact with red light, Intermediate Fighter full marks.

Beside the testing machine, Kuang Qiu was all smiles: "Su You, congratulations. Once the official documents are issued and your information is entered into the citizen identity database, you will be a prospective martial artist."

Su You nodded. He had expected this result long ago. What he cared about now was whether his level was sufficient to sign a Special Training contract to enter the Basic Training Camp, or perhaps, if there was even a possibility of entering the Elite Training Camp?

"Haha, quite calm, aren't you!" Kuang Qiu laughed, then asked solemnly: "Su You, would you be willing to join our Extreme Martial Arts Hall in advance? Rest assured, the terms we offer will be no worse than any other faction!"

"Given your performance, there will be no problem signing a Special Training contract, and the terms for the Special Training contract are the same for everyone."

"In addition to a villa, there is a startup fund of 100 million Huaxia Currency. At the same time, you can purchase one set of guiding techniques, one set of combat manuals, and one set of movement manuals for free, provided the price does not exceed 500 million Huaxia Currency; you will have to pay for any amount exceeding 500 million yourself."

"Furthermore, most importantly, you can enter the Basic Training Camp to receive the best training for a period of three years. If you perform well, you will even have the chance to enter the legendary Elite Training Camp."

"By the way, Uncle Li should have told you about the Basic Training Camp and the Elite Training Camp, right?"

Su You nodded. Uncle Li had indeed mentioned them to him before, and with the memories of his past life, he was likely even more familiar with the Elite Training Camp than Kuang Qiu was!

"How about it? Are you willing to join our Extreme Martial Arts Hall in advance?" Kuang Qiu asked solemnly.

Su You nodded in agreement without hesitation. For someone who knew the plot as well as he did, joining the Extreme Martial Arts Hall was absolutely the best choice for the fastest growth.

"Good, I will report to the Hall Master now. To recruit a genius like you, we need someone from headquarters to conduct an assessment. Therefore, in the entire Base City, only the Inspector and the Hall Master have such authority; even the three Supervisors cannot."

Kuang Qiu explained to Su You with a smile while taking his phone out of his pocket and calling headquarters directly.

Soon, a rugged-looking man appeared on the phone screen. It was Tang Xilie, the "Ba Dao" of the Extreme Martial Arts Hall in Kyoto Base City, a high-level War God Rank powerhouse.

"Kuang Qiu, what is it?"

Kuang Qiu was full of excitement and spoke at a rapid pace: "Hall Master, a genius has appeared here in Tianjin City. He is seventeen years old. During his first time practicing Genetic Origin Energy, his punching power increased by over two thousand kilograms, his speed is 61.1 m/s, and most impressively, his movement technique is already at the Micro-level."

"Oh? Seventeen years old, Micro-level?" The rugged-looking man said in surprise, then spoke: "This already exceeds the standard for signing a Special Training contract. Bring him to headquarters now!"

"Yes, I'll be there immediately." Once the call ended, Kuang Qiu smiled at Su You and said: "Su You, come with me to headquarters now."

Afterward, Kuang Qiu looked at Li Da and the others, saying: "Old Li, I'll leave the testing of the remaining people to you. You guys help out as well; 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 ran toward the exit quickly.

"Old Li, you really are damn lucky. You have to treat us later after the testing is done."

"Right, you must treat us."

Li Da laughed heartily: "Haha, no problem, you can all eat as much as you want later."

After leaving the martial arts hall with Chief Instructor Kuang Qiu, Su You first called his father and mother separately to avoid them worrying if he returned late.

Afterward, he boarded the train to Kyoto Base City with the Chief Instructor. This was also the first time Su You had ridden such a train in this life.

Because it had to travel through the wilderness, the trains at this time did not prioritize comfort; they were not even as good as the green-skinned trains he had ridden in his past life.

Soon, Su You and Kuang Qiu arrived at the thirty-first floor of the Extreme General Hall building in Kyoto Base City. This was a vast, oversized martial arts hall.

At this moment, Tang Xilie, the "Ba Dao" wearing a black martial arts uniform, was sitting cross-legged on the ground. Behind him were a middle-aged man in a Tang suit and four men and women in white suits.

"Hall Master, Supervisor Wang." Kuang Qiu greeted the Hall Master and the middle-aged man in the Tang suit, and Su You followed suit.

Hall Master Tang Xilie nodded and said directly: "Come, let's start the test immediately!"

The four men in white suits behind him immediately took action. Suddenly, all the camera equipment in the martial arts hall was activated, clearly intending to record the entire video of Su You's test.

"Punching power, speed, nerve reaction—let's go in that order!" After Supervisor Wang finished speaking, he signaled for Su You to step forward and begin.

Soon, the tests for punching power and speed were over, and the results were not much different from the previous test in Tianjin City.

Beside the nerve reaction testing machine, a woman in a white suit pressed the red button. Dozens of apertures immediately accelerated their rotation, and red bullets flew rapidly into the red circle.

Inside the red circle, Su You's expression remained normal as he made dodging movements unhurriedly, avoiding the red bullets' attacks perfectly every time.

Hall Master Tang Xilie said with a smile: "Not bad, he is already approaching the Great Perfection of the Micro-level. In a few years, I estimate he will have a significant chance of entering the Elite Training Camp!"

Supervisor Wang, standing behind him, had his eyes light up, and the smile on his face became even more pronounced.

"Alright, stop now!" the Hall Master ordered.

Upon hearing this, the woman in the white suit immediately pressed the button. The red bullets stopped firing, and the dozens of apertures quickly decelerated.

Su You stepped down from the testing machine, and Hall Master Tang Xilie said: "Old Wang, send an application for the Special Training assessment to headquarters. Remember to send the video we just recorded as well."

"Yes." Supervisor Wang replied.

As soon as the Hall Master finished speaking, he left the martial arts hall. Supervisor Wang spoke directly: "Su You, Kuang Qiu should have told you about the contents of the Special Training contract, right?"

"Yes."

"A villa, a startup fund of 100 million, and three manuals with a price not exceeding 500 million, correct?"

Su You nodded again.

Supervisor Wang smiled and said to a woman in a white suit standing to the side:

"Go draft an S-Class Contract corresponding to the Special Training, and change the quota for movement techniques, guiding arts, and attack methods to one billion; as long as the price is within one billion, it's all free, and I will foot the bill."

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

Supervisor Wang smiled and explained a few things, and 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 branch of the Extreme Martial Arts Hall, providing starting capital, a villa, and a quota for purchasing secret manuals, which was the S-Class Contract.

The other part was signed with the Global Headquarters, the content of which was the qualification to enter the Basic Training Camp.
