As a Junior War God of the Limit Martial Arts Hall and someone valued by Inspector Wang, Jiang Li's talent was naturally extraordinary, so Luo Feng was defeated before long.
Even so, everyone present found it hard to believe, because Jiang Li was a genuine War God Level powerhouse, and the fact that he could stay by Inspector Wang's side already marked him as a genius, fully capable of rivaling some weaker Intermediate War Gods.
"Not bad..." Inspector Wang toyed with his prayer beads, a rare look of amazement crossing his usually calm face as he said:
"Many people constantly pursue the force in their hands, yet often neglect the force in their legs. Not only can you apply force through your legs, but you've also perfectly integrated your footwork with your blade art!"
"Most importantly, you've infused the essence of the Ninefold Thunderblade into every movement... It's hard to imagine you figured this out on your own!"
Inspector Wang was full of praise. He couldn't think of anyone in the entire history of the Elite Training Camp who had outperformed Luo Feng, nor could he think of anyone even a tier below him—the gap was too vast!
At eighteen years old, possessing this level of physical ability and comprehension, even the Hall Master and the Thunder God might fall slightly short.
Luo Feng scratched the back of his head and said, "Uh... I didn't figure this out on my own. It was my teacher's guidance."
"To be honest, without my teacher's instruction, I wouldn't have achieved what I have now!"
Seeing that Inspector Wang thought it was his own independent realization, Luo Feng felt embarrassed and quickly explained.
Inspector Wang was silent for a moment. "Your teacher?"
Luo Feng nodded firmly, a strong sense of gratitude flooding his face. "Yes, I took him as my teacher when I first entered high school, and over these years, I've always been under his tutelage."
"From the very beginning, he emphasized the integration of blade art and footwork! After I became a martial artist and started practicing the Ninefold Thunderblade, he made sure that before I even mastered one layer, I had to merge the guiding technique, blade art, and footwork together!"
Luo Feng said emotionally, "That's why I've been able to improve my physical ability so quickly. And with his guidance on the Ninefold Thunderblade, I've hardly hit any bottlenecks!"
Inspector Wang was taken aback. He noticed a key point: according to Luo Feng, he had already mastered the fifth layer of the Ninefold Thunderblade. If his teacher had been guiding him all along, didn't that mean his teacher was at least at the fifth layer as well?
A genius like this, and yet he remained unknown? Let alone the fact that he had cultivated such a super genius.
Inspector Wang silently swept his gaze over the president of the Jiangnan Base City Limit Martial Arts General Hall and the others. The latter felt their scalps tighten, knowing Inspector Wang was displeased. President Zhou Zhengyong quickly explained:
"Inspector, we actually noticed Luo Feng's teacher long ago. Supervisor Zhuge Tao even invited him multiple times to teach at the Basic Training Camp, but he had no interest."
"Not only that, I personally invited him as well, but he still refused. I looked into his records, and it seems his spirit was somewhat affected..."
Zhou Zhengyong laid out Zhou Ze's situation in detail.
Luo Feng's eyes flickered, his heart full of hope. Given his usual composure, he wouldn't have acted so emotionally, like a child.
He did this deliberately to draw the attention of the Limit Martial Arts Hall's higher-ups to his teacher, hoping they might grant a precious Water of Life to heal his teacher's injuries.
"Send me his information." Inspector Wang gave the order, and Zhou Zhengyong immediately transmitted Zhou Ze's data.
After reading the file, Inspector Wang closed his eyes and toyed with his prayer beads. His movements were slightly faster than usual, showing that his mind was far from calm—or rather, he was deeply shocked but restraining himself.
At least the fifth layer of the Ninefold Thunderblade, the ability to merge guiding technique, blade art, and footwork into one. Conceptual Blade Art, Conceptual Footwork—how terrifying was that!
Not to mention that he could teach these to others. Without the data from Yangzhou City's quasi-martial artist assessment and the actual combat assessment, one could only attribute it to Luo Feng's natural talent. But the truth was that Zhou Ze had played an irreplaceable role in Luo Feng's current performance.
Even if the Hall Master or the Thunder God personally guided Luo Feng, it would be hard to achieve this. After all, strength is one thing, teaching is another—two different fields of expertise. Many powerhouses aren't particularly skilled at instructing students.
"If his body is crippled, give him Water of Life. If his physical ability is low, give him Dragon Blood, or even a Spirit of Plants! Such an incredible existence shouldn't be stuck in such a small place—he needs a bigger stage!"
As a being beyond War God Level, Inspector Wang saw further than Zhou Zhengyong, Zhuge Tao, and the others! Setting aside his teaching talent, even his own mastery of the Ninefold Thunderblade, his blade art, and his footwork realm were more than enough!
After all, the Ninefold Thunderblade is the hardest blade art in the world to practice, and most martial artists can barely grasp it in their lifetime.
The students in the Elite Training Camp who practice the Ninefold Thunderblade are generally only at the first or second layer. Even after graduation, many might remain stuck at the third or fourth layer for life.
The force output of many War God Level powerhouses is roughly equivalent to the third layer of the Ninefold Thunderblade. The fifth layer is often already within the domain of Councilors, and some Invincible War Gods are at that level.
As long as Zhou Ze's physical ability reaches War God Level, he could easily become a powerhouse among War Gods! Improvements in blade art, footwork, and conceptual realms depend on himself, but physical enhancement—while difficult for ordinary people—is much simpler from a Councilor's perspective, with many methods available, at least below the Councilor level.
Yangzhou City, Bright Moon District.
Zhou Ze lay on a chair, gazing up at the sky.
"Soon. Next year, I'll truly take off. Water of Life, Spirit of Plants—Luo Feng will definitely prepare them for me."
Zhou Ze stretched lazily. The feeling of lying flat wasn't bad either. With a disciple like Luo Feng, he could coast his way to success, especially as they entered the cosmic era. Luo Feng's rapid progress made Earth nothing more than a beginner zone.
With his cheat, he could constantly receive Luo Feng's insights, ensuring that in the future, his comprehension of laws and secret techniques would be no less than Luo Feng's. If he put in some effort, those aspects requiring enlightenment would surely surpass Luo Feng's.
He had to admit, having a cheat felt great!
"Beep beep~"
The phone beside him rang. Zhou Ze used his telekinesis to float it in front of him with a thought, assuming it was Luo Feng calling to ask a question. Instead, it was Zhou Zhengyong from the Limit Martial Arts General Hall.
"Zhou Ze, get ready. Inspector Wang is coming to see you immediately." Zhou Zhengyong spoke quickly and hung up.
Zhou Ze raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised but also finding it reasonable. After all, at this point in time, Luo Feng was simply too astonishing.
In the original story at this time, Luo Feng's strength was only at the third layer of the Ninefold Thunderblade. He couldn't apply force through his legs, his blade art had just entered the second-layer realm of mastery, and his footwork hadn't even reached the perfect level. His martial artist strength lagged far behind his telekinetic power.
But now, before even entering the Elite Training Camp, Luo Feng had reached the fifth layer of the Ninefold Thunderblade, merged guiding technique, blade art, and footwork into one, and possessed Conceptual Blade Art and Conceptual Footwork. His martial artist strength alone far exceeded his telekinetic power.
Simply put, at the same physical level, even some Invincible War Gods and Councilors were only at this tier.
