A Newcomer Joins the Group

Inside the Weapon Room, the racks were lined with a vast array of weapons.

Luo Feng smoothly drew an imitation A5 Blood Shadow Warblade and swung it casually.

"You can swing an A5 Blood Shadow Warblade?"

Chen Gu stared at Luo Feng in utter shock. This model weighed nearly half a ton by itself. "Looks like your physical fitness has reached Advanced Warrior Level!"

"Luo Feng's punching force exceeded 5,000 kilograms the last few times. The strongest imitation Bloodshadow Warblade this guild hall has is an A5 model, though."

Wu Tong chuckled.

Since becoming the guild hall's Chief Instructor, the only way he could earn Guild Contribution Points was by recommending talented martial artists.

That was why Wu Tong paid such close attention to Luo Feng and Jiang Li.

"Luo Feng, show me your strongest punch!"

Chen Gu's eyes sparkled. Wu Tong had recommended Luo Feng, and he'd only agreed because he wanted to do his old friend a favor.

Even if Luo Feng was a genius, he'd only just reached Warrior Level.

But who could've guessed that in such a short time, Luo Feng would already be approaching Advanced Warrior Level?

One more breakthrough, and he'd become a pillar of any squad.

After all, a typical Warrior General Level squad only had one or two Warrior General Level fighters.

"Sure, Brother Chen!"

Luo Feng walked over to the guild hall's Punch Force Testing Machine. He had no intention of hiding his physical strength; after all, his greatest trump card was his Spiritual Force.

He adjusted his breathing. Then his body unleashed tremendous force, and he punched with the momentum of a flood dragon surging out to sea.

BOOM!!!

The oversized Punch Force Testing Machine shuddered from the impact.

"Beep!"

"How much?"

Wu Tong and Chen Gu both fixed their eyes on the display.

"7,215 kg."

"7.2 tons?"

Wu Tong and Chen Gu sucked in sharp breaths, staring at Luo Feng as if he were a monster, their faces full of shock!

Luo Feng looked at the number, surprised too. Had his punching force really increased that much?

Before this, his punches had barely exceeded 5,000 kilograms. Even with the Guiding Technique, he shouldn't have improved by so much.

Could it be that Dark Gold Sphere...?

Chapter 18: A Newcomer Joins the Group

"Haha, Luo Feng, you might not be as strong as Jiang Li yet, but you're improving so fast that I'm sure you'll catch up soon!"

Wu Tong was elated. He slapped his fist into his palm and laughed. "Jiang Li, I heard that ever since you moved to Mingyue Residential Area, you've been spending all your time accompanying your wife to buy groceries and go shopping..."

"Loving your wife is a good thing, but you're a martial artist. Don't neglect your training!"

"Wu Tong, how many years has it been since you last went to the Wilderness Zone?"

Chen Gu couldn't help taking a jab at Wu Tong. "And you've got the nerve to lecture Jiang Li?"

"I'm old. I don't have the same fire in me as the young ones..."

Wu Tong didn't mind Chen Gu's teasing. "Jiang Li, Jiang Nian said your strength had reached the limit of the martial arts halls in Yi'an District. Don't use any attack techniques!"

Wu Tong made a point of warning him. Punching force testers were only a basic measurement tool, and their capacity was limited.

A Warrior General Level expert using powerful attack techniques could tear apart the guild hall's seventh floor.

"Okay!"

Jiang Li nodded. He wanted to test his strength, too.

BOOM!

Jiang Li walked up to the Punch Force Testing Machine. He raised his fair hand, lightly clenched it into a fist, and punched the target's drumhead.

The punch looked light, but the entire machine slid three or four meters backward, leaving three deep grooves in the alloy floor!

Beep!

The number on the Punch Force Testing Machine's display was clear: "166,712 kg."

"16.6 tons?"

Everyone present sucked in a breath. Chen Gu was so excited that he jumped up. "Holy crap, that's two tons more than I can manage with pure strength alone!"

Of course, once someone reached Warrior General Level, strength alone no longer determined how strong they were.

Without the speed, footwork, and combat experience to match, even a weaker opponent could easily crush them.

Jiang Li knew that all too well.

It took Wu Tong a long time to recover. Then he asked in a trembling voice, "Jiang, Jiang Li, are you sure you didn't use an attack technique?"

It wasn't that Wu Tong didn't want to believe Jiang Li!

He just couldn't believe it!

Back in Yi'an District, Jiang Li had used an attack technique to reach over ten tons. It wouldn't have been strange if he'd reached Beginner Warlord a month later!

After all, Jiang Li had only awakened a week ago. And now, he was already Intermediate War General?

At this rate, when they saw him next month... would they have to call him Lord War God?

"Monster! You're an absolute monster!"

Chen Gu threw his head back and laughed, his face alight with excitement. "Jiang Li, why don't you try again with an attack technique?"

"No, no, no..."

Before Jiang Li could answer, Wu Tong jumped in fright and quickly raised a hand. "My guild hall can't take this kind of destruction!"

"Hahaha!"

Seeing Wu Tong's alarmed reaction, everyone burst out laughing.

Soon, the two of them had finished the rest of their tests. One was Advanced Warrior Level, the other Intermediate War General. Chen Gu was grinning from ear to ear.

"By the way, have you bought your weapons and gear yet?"

"Not yet. I'm planning to buy some decent gear and weapons. But to get them at half price, I need at least one star's worth of Contribution Points!"

Luo Feng glanced at Jiang Li, his expression helpless.

Jiang Li had three hundred million more in starting funds than he did.

"Haha, easy enough. Tell me what weapons and gear you want, and I'll buy them for you!"

Chen Gu grinned. "I'm not far from reaching two stars with my Contribution Points. You can just transfer the money to my account afterward."

"You can have someone else buy most cold weapons and firearms for you."

Wu Tong explained from the side. "What about you, Jiang Li?"

"I've already bought mine."

Jiang Li smiled. He didn't want to trouble anyone. Besides, he was spending someone else's money anyway.

When Jiang Li got home, he was greeted by the aroma of food.

"Honey, wash your hands and dinner's ready."

"Okay!"

After dinner, Jiang Li suddenly grinned.

He swept Ling Ling into his arms from behind. "Honey, I'm heading to the Wilderness Zone in a few days. We'd better make the most of our time."

"Ah..."

A storm surged through the house once more.

Meanwhile, the chat group was buzzing with activity.

[System notification: Long Bo from Spirit Realm World has joined the chat group!]

Suddenly, a chat group notification rang out.

A newcomer had joined.

"Spirit Realm World?"

"That should be Long Bo from Water Moon Cave Heaven."

In an instant, the chat group was buzzing again.

[Peach Blossom Island Little Chef: Welcome to the group!]

[Zixia Gentleman Sword: Group status -1!]
