Jiang Li planted his foot on the ground with a low rumble. By the time everyone reacted, a white blur had swept through the speed-testing area and reached the finish line in an instant.

A moment later,

"72.2 m/s" appeared on the display.

"Whoa!"

"Th-that speed? He's definitely at Warrior Level!"

"The entry standard for a Beginner Warrior is 60 meters per second. Jiang Li hit 72.2—that's well above it!"

"A Warrior Level at twenty years old? He's certain to become a Warrior General someday, and might even reach War God Level!"

"Ahhh, if only Jiang Li could spare me 0.1 meters per second!"

"..."

The other trainees taking the assessment all cried out in amazement and envy.

"Good, his speed meets the standard too."

Chief Instructor Wu Tong smiled.

"Jiang Li, Luo Feng, Lu Fei... all six of you who passed the assessment, come with me!"

"The final event is the neural reaction test. Jiang Li, you'll go first this time..."

Jiang Li looked at the spacious room, which was about a hundred square meters, and strolled inside. A tall device resembling a globe stood on the floor.

The device had dozens of openings, like an enhanced Gatling gun.

"Remember, don't step outside the circle!"

After Jiang Nian spoke, Chief Instructor Wu Tong pressed a button.

"Whirr!"

The test machine's barrels began to spin rapidly. Red beams shot out of dozens of barrels almost at once, some faster than others, each following a different trajectory as they crisscrossed through the room.

I haven't learned any movement techniques, but with the reaction speed of an Advanced Warrior, this is nothing!

As he thought this, Jiang Li shifted his body, dodging left and right like a roly-poly toy. Gradually, afterimages began to appear.

From outside the room, no one could follow Jiang Li's movements at all. It was as though a layer of mist had clouded their vision.

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

"Whoosh!"

"His movement technique...?"

Jiang Nian's eyes widened in disbelief. "Subtle Level!"

"That's right, Subtle Level!" Wu Tong's eyes shone as he stared fixedly at Jiang Li in the testing room.

Jiang Li's dodges were small, yet he evaded every bullet with incredible precision.

His unhurried, almost leisurely movements shocked everyone present.

Even many Warrior General-level experts couldn't achieve a Subtle-level Body Technique!

"His movement technique has actually reached Subtle Level? Unbelievable, absolutely unbelievable!"

An instructor from another section drew in a sharp breath. "He's only twenty! I'm forty, and I still haven't reached that level!"

"We can't let a genius like him join another faction. Fortunately, he got his trainee ID from Limit Martial Arts Hall!"

After his initial shock, Wu Tong immediately ordered, "Jiang Nian, you take charge of the rest of the assessment!"

"Why's the Chief Instructor in such a hurry?"

Lu Fei's eyes widened. "Is something wrong with Brother Jiang?"

"What could be wrong? Didn't you see that he hasn't even moved from his spot?"

Tong Guan was with the Military. He glanced at Wu Tong hurrying away and lowered his voice. "The Chief Instructor's probably gone to report this to his superiors."

"Hiss!"

The others drew in a sharp breath.

They hadn't expected a warrior assessment to be important enough to get the Chief Instructor's superiors involved.

"Beep, beep!"

Three minutes later, the neural reaction test machine stopped spinning, and a long string of text appeared on the screen.

"Within 180 seconds, hit 0 times, did not touch a red beam. Perfect!"

The warriors present all exclaimed in amazement when they saw the results.

Compared to Jiang Li's strength and speed, his movement technique was what truly astonished them.

On the battlefield, with unmatched movement skills, one was practically invincible!

"Hahaha, Jiang Li, you passed the warrior assessment..."

Jiang Nian was overjoyed. He congratulated him, "Once the official documents come through, your information will be added to your citizen records. Then you'll officially be a Warrior Level warrior!"

As for the practical assessment, how could an ordinary warrior's practical test possibly pose a challenge to a Warrior Level warrior?

Especially one with a Subtle-level Body Technique!

"Thank you."

Jiang Li nodded, then chatted with Luo Feng and the others.

Meanwhile,

Ling Ling changed into a tight-fitting combat suit, tied her hair into a ponytail, and looked a little more spirited.

She arrived at the Jiangnan Headquarters of Limit Martial Arts Hall aboard a King Level battleship.

The staff member saw her and immediately stiffened, addressing her respectfully:

"My lord!"

"Have Wang Meng come see me!"

The staff member replied respectfully, "War God Wang Meng is in the reception room on the sixth floor. I'll notify him right away. Please wait a moment, my lord!"

"Mm."

Elsewhere, on the seventh floor of the guild hall,

Wu Tong was about to report Jiang Li's situation to a silver-haired man in a black robe when he noticed the man was on the phone, speaking with utmost respect. "Yes, yes, Lord War God. Understood!"

War God?!

Wu Tong's heart jolted. War Gods stood at the pinnacle of the warrior ranks, and there were only a few hundred of them in the entire world.

"Wu Tong, is there a trainee named Jiang Li among the assessment candidates?"

After hanging up, the silver-haired man asked.

"Yes!"

Wu Tong's pupils contracted. He hurriedly said, "Captain, I was just about to tell you. This trainee is at Warrior Level, and his movement technique has reached Subtle Level!"

"Oh?"

The silver-haired man looked enlightened. "That explains why Lord War God called personally."

"Captain, are you saying the War God called because of Jiang Li?"

Wu Tong stared at the silver-haired man in disbelief.

Had Jiang Li really caught the attention of a War God?

At that moment,

The other trainees taking the assessment also finished the neural reaction test.

"All right, four people passed the Quasi-Warrior Assessment this time: Jiang Li, Luo Feng..."

Jiang Nian announced the results with a smile.

Luo Feng and the others were all delighted. If a group of senior warriors hadn't been watching, they would have shouted for joy.

Becoming a warrior meant being able to give their families a better life!

Luo Feng, in particular, had long wanted to move his family into Mingyue Residential Area.

"Everyone, the next step is to sign the practical assessment contracts and take care of a few other formalities. Please help them with that!"

Wu Tong and the silver-haired man walked over. Wu Tong glanced at Jiang Li and said, "Captain, this is Jiang Li..."

"And that's Luo Feng, an eighteen-year-old warrior."

At this, the silver-haired man's gaze swept over Jiang Li and the others. For a moment, Luo Feng felt as if the man's eyes held an endless, profound, and mysterious starry sky. He was drawn into it before he knew what was happening.

Then he jolted and snapped back to his senses, shocked. That's terrifying. One glance from him left me dazed!

He glanced at Jiang Li and saw that he seemed unaffected. The other two trainees who had passed, however, both had stiff expressions and vacant eyes.

His soul is that powerful?

It wasn't just Luo Feng who was shocked. Even the silver-haired man was astonished.
