"What is Junior Brother Fang Yi's ranking now? Where is he at?"

"Haha, he's reached 36th."

The surrounding students all gasped in unison upon seeing the latest rankings.

To think someone could reach such a ranking in just half a month!

With over 40 minutes left until the end, this meant Fang Yi's ranking was very likely to climb even higher!

Outside.

"Limit Dojo... they actually hid this genius so well! Only revealing him now."

"Does the General know yet?"

"The General has already received the information. It's not just you; many people have reported this matter."

"Fang Yi, I've met this kid. Back at the car-less assessment, he already displayed decent talent."

"The military region really needs talent like this."

"Hurry, contact the Chief; I have an urgent report... What? The Chief already knows and has sent people over?"

"18 years old, no family, raised in an orphanage since he was young..."

"He's actually only 18! Do you have any idea what 18 represents? What kind of methods does Limit Dojo have? How are they able to scout such a genius?"

"Find a way, we must find a way. For talent like this, becoming a War God is a certainty, and even surpassing the War God level is just a matter of time!"

"Why, those guys at Limit. Sigh, if I had known, I would have tried every possible way to keep Fang Yi back then. I didn't expect this guy to become more and more outrageous."

"Why is it that Limit always manages to recruit these geniuses, while we at Thunder and Lightning..."

"Sigh."

Elite Training Camp.

"Has it been reported?" Yang Hui asked the person on the other end of the phone.

"It has been reported to the Inspector, and the news has already been conveyed to Lord Hong."

Yang Hui nodded in satisfaction after hearing this, feeling as if a massive weight had been lifted from his heart. He said cheerfully, "That's good. With the performance Fang Yi is showing now, it will certainly attract outsiders to try and poach him by any means necessary. We absolutely cannot let those people succeed."

"Want to poach our people? Go tell the Dojo Master about it, hahaha."

Trial Room.

As time ran out, Fang Yi punctually removed his helmet and let out a long sigh of relief.

"Time's up."

After standing up and stretching his limbs, he walked toward the exit. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Jiang Fang standing to the side, dressed in a tight-fitting training suit.

"Fang Yi, how many levels did you clear?"

Seeing Fang Yi walk out, Jiang Fang stepped forward with a smile to ask.

"I'm currently stuck at the C stage of the 3rd level," Fang Yi replied earnestly.

A look of surprise flashed across Jiang Fang's face; the stage he had cleared was far higher than she had imagined.

After all, even some War God instructors were stuck at the A or B stage of the 3rd level, yet Fang Yi had actually managed to reach the C stage!

"As expected. No wonder those people at Limit Dojo call you a freak, a monster," Jiang Fang said with a gratified smile.

"Uh..." Fang Yi didn't know what to say to that.

"Alright, get some good rest. Can you bring us new surprises next month? I, all of us, and the higher-ups are all looking forward to it."

After saying this, Jiang Fang left the Nine-Layered Tower with Fang Yi.

The villa.

"Junior Brother Fang Yi, your reputation is huge this time!"

"Hehe, quite a few foreign female students have been asking me for your information. After all, you broke into the top 20 and reached 19th place in just half a month; it's truly terrifying."

"Student Fang Yi, are you free tomorrow night?"

"Uh..."

Fang Yi looked at the crowd around him, feeling somewhat helpless. These people weren't sleeping in the middle of the night; they were all gathered at his villa waiting for him.

Many of them had intentions of poaching him, and some had even started making offers.

There were even a few very enthusiastic and bold Western women openly expressing their admiration and affection.

It was the first time Fang Yi had encountered such a situation, and for a moment, he didn't know what to do.

Thankfully, a few Chinese female students were sharp-eyed and quick-handed, pulling the others away.

Otherwise, Fang Yi would likely have been left covered in the marks of their enthusiasm.

"What are you all gathered here for? Don't you need to rest? No classes tomorrow? No training tomorrow?"

Jiang Fang suddenly walked into the hall, her sharp reprimand immediately causing the surrounding students to hurriedly bid Fang Yi farewell.

As for those few foreign women, they even blew a few kisses before leaving.

Dealing with people... feels even harder than fighting monsters, Fang Yi thought, feeling a cold sweat.

"Fang Yi, you don't have to do this. If someone comes looking for you, just open the door; you can simply refuse to let some people in."

Jiang Fang watched the scattered crowd and shook her head with a touch of helplessness.

"Understood."

"Teacher Jiang, it's so late, is there something you need?"

Jiang Fang's residence was far from the New District where Fang Yi lived. If there wasn't a reason, the teacher generally wouldn't come over here.

"Yes, an Inspector will be coming to see you tomorrow. I just received the notification myself," Jiang Fang said.

An Inspector?

Fang Yi roughly guessed the purpose of the other party's visit.

It seems the commotion I caused by clearing the trials has already caught the attention of Hong... looks like there are more resources to be had, Fang Yi thought to himself.

"Then I won't disturb your rest. I will take you to meet them tomorrow."

"Understood, that would be a bother, Teacher."

"You're too polite." Jiang Fang smiled lightly, then waved and left the villa.

Fang Yi looked at the quiet living room and let out a long sigh of relief.

Finally, it's quiet. Although I don't dislike the bustle, those people were just too enthusiastic...

The next day.

Fang Yi received a message.

He immediately changed his clothes and opened the door, seeing Jiang Fang waiting not far away.

"Teacher, let's go."

"Mm."

Jiang Fang led Fang Yi toward the building area where the War God instructors were located, informing him of several matters along the way.

They arrived in front of a villa.

Jiang Fang brought Fang Yi inside, and as soon as they entered, they saw a sturdy man sitting on the sofa in the hall.

The villa butler was currently carrying tea and placing it on the table.

"You're here. Sit."

The sturdy man then politely gestured for Fang Yi to take a seat.

"Go ahead," Jiang Fang said.

Fang Yi immediately sat opposite the sturdy man, while Jiang Fang stood to the side.

The man smiled and took out several contracts, sliding them in front of Fang Yi.

Fang Yi took the papers, scanned them quickly, and soon understood the series of rewards and requirements listed.

"As long as I reach a combat power amplitude of 14 by December of '57, I can obtain an SS-grade combat suit, a full set of weapons, two sets of secret manuals, and one portion of Dragon Blood worth 80 billion..."

"Or, by June of '58, if I reach a combat power amplitude of 17, I can obtain an SS-grade combat suit, a full set of weapons, two portions of Dragon Blood worth 80 billion each, any three sets of secret manuals, and the ancient civilization relic, the Black God..."

This series of reward terms was definitely enticing.

Compared to Luo Feng's, it's even more generous. It seems Hong really values me; the rewards are much higher, but the conditions have also been raised.

Fang Yi pondered as he reviewed the documents.

After he finished reading the entire contract, the man in front of him spoke: "Finished? If you have no objections, then sign it."

"Mm, no objections."

The sturdy man heard this and chuckled as he handed out the contracts and a pen, watching as Fang Yi signed each one.

The sturdy man took a sip of tea and sighed, "The Dojo Master has very high expectations for you, but the rewards are also very generous. After all, the strength you've displayed far exceeds that of an average genius; your future is limitless."

With the contracts signed, Fang Yi kept one copy and the Dojo kept the other.

The sturdy man nodded in satisfaction, and just as he was about to stand up, Fang Yi asked.

"So, when will the first set of rewards in the contract be issued?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the sturdy man froze, and Jiang Fang's brow furrowed in confusion, though she quickly realized what he meant.
