Inspector

"How is this possible!" Qin Wei found it hard to accept. If Chen Yuan was an Intermediate War General, didn't that mean all her previous posturing had been nothing more than the ridiculous performance of a clown?

A fierce sense of pride left Qin Wei feeling suffocated, and she even felt a twinge of regret. How could she have acted so childishly?

"Didn't you say he couldn't even beat an Iron-Haired Wild Boar?" Qin Wei whipped her head around, glaring viciously at Yang Fan. Her tone was filled with accusation, as if she had been deceived by him all along.

"I, I..." Yang Fan was completely stunned. He even began to doubt his own memory. Was the Chen Yuan before him, who had just struck with the force of an Intermediate War General, really the same timid, submissive Chen Yuan he remembered?

Seeing that Yang Fan remained stuttering and unable to answer, Qin Wei felt even more cheated. With a cold snort, she turned and walked away.

After Qin Wei left, Yang Fan had no reason to stay either. He looked at Chen Yuan, his face a mask of complex emotions. He opened his mouth as if to speak, but ultimately said nothing, simply turning and leaving the dojo in silence.

The departure of Qin Wei and Yang Fan went unnoticed by everyone else, as Wang Tai's attention was entirely fixed on Chen Yuan.

Seeing that Chen Yuan's strength truly matched his recorded achievements, Wang Tai was overjoyed. This was an easy performance bonus falling right into his lap.

At this moment, Chen Yuan spoke up: "Shall we test speed and nerve reaction next?"

Wang Tai naturally had no objections and nodded repeatedly: "Good."

Soon, the test results were out.

Speed: 163 meters per second!

Nerve reaction: Full marks for Intermediate War General, excellent for Advanced War General.

Chen Yuan did not show off excessively; the current results were already enough for Wang Tai to submit a report.

Wang Tai was extremely satisfied with Chen Yuan's test results, his face beaming with smiles: "Very good! Excellent!"

"Here is the plan: I will report this to the Jiangnan General Dojo immediately. You may need to accompany me there later to demonstrate your strength." Wang Tai looked at Chen Yuan with a wide grin. "If you pass the test, there will be great benefits waiting for you."

"Can I enter the Elite Training Camp?" Chen Yuan asked directly.

So he really was aiming for the Elite Training Camp. Wang Tai sighed inwardly before answering honestly: "I cannot guarantee that."

"The considerations of the top brass at headquarters might differ from ours. While a 19-year-old Intermediate War General is rare, it is not unheard of." Wang Tai explained, "Strength is only one aspect; headquarters will also look at your actual combat level, your mastery of secret techniques, and so on."

Wang Tai didn't spell it out, but Chen Yuan knew that according to his registration at Limit Home, he had only practiced one C-grade secret technique, which was far too low-level.

"How about this, Chief Instructor, you can add one more thing when you submit your report." Chen Yuan said, "Just say that my force-exertion level is greater than 2x."

"What!" Wang Tai's eyes widened. "2x force exertion? Is that for real!"

Chen Yuan knew that practice was worth more than anything, so he walked back to the Punch Strength Tester, took a deep breath, and threw a punch with all his might.

This time, he utilized the 2x force-exertion technique.

"Boom!"

The target vibrated violently, and the tester's screen quickly displayed the result.

35,584 KG!

Wang Tai rushed to the screen, and upon seeing the number displayed, he gasped in shock.

"It's actually true!" Wang Tai looked at Chen Yuan with a face full of disbelief, finding it hard to imagine that this young man's strength was already approaching his own.

As the Pavilion Master of the Jinling Branch Dojo, Wang Tai was naturally at the Advanced War General level, but his force-exertion level was quite average, only 1.3, meaning his limit strength was not much higher than Chen Yuan's.

However, Wang Tai quickly regained his composure. He pulled out his phone right in front of Chen Yuan, edited a message, and hit send.

Less than 30 seconds later, the phone from the Jiangnan General Dojo rang.

"This is Wang Tai."

"Yes."

"The information is all correct."

"Understood, I will bring him over at that time."

"Don't worry, Supervisor, when have I ever lied to you? I saw it with my own eyes."

"Alright then."

Hanging up the phone, Wang Tai was all smiles: "Chen Yuan, tomorrow morning, you will accompany me to Jiangnan City. I've spoken with the Supervisor; the Pavilion Master will come to see you personally tomorrow, so you must perform well."

"If you perform well, your qualification to enter the Elite Training Camp will be set in stone."

Chen Yuan nodded upon hearing this.

Early the next morning, Chen Yuan arrived at the dojo on time and took the earliest train with Wang Tai to the main urban area of the Jiangnan Base City.

When Chen Yuan and Wang Tai arrived at the Limit Dojo General Dojo, they found quite a few people already standing in front of the entrance.

Wang Tai was taken aback when he saw them. He rubbed his eyes, then quickly led Chen Yuan over, bowing respectfully to the person in the lead: "Greetings, Pavilion Master, Supervisor Zhuge."

Standing in the center of the crowd was the Pavilion Master of the Jiangnan City Limit Dojo General Dojo, Zhou Zhengyong.

The Supervisor Zhuge standing next to Zhou Zhengyong also had a significant background; he was the very same Zhuge Tao who had invested in the Earth Lord Luo Feng back in the day.

Zhou Zhengyong nodded at Wang Tai without a word. Beside him, Zhuge Tao smiled and spoke: "You arrived just in time. Let's wait together; a very important person is arriving soon."

Then, Zhuge Tao looked at Chen Yuan, nodded at him with a smile, and said: "Not bad, young man. Make sure to perform well in front of the important person later."

"An important person?" Wang Tai leaned in toward Zhuge Tao, asking with a fawning smile, "Supervisor, you didn't mention this yesterday, leaving me completely unprepared."

"How could I have known for sure about such an important person?" Zhuge Tao chuckled softly, then dropped his smile and said seriously: "I received your report yesterday and immediately forwarded it to the Pavilion Master, who then reported it to the Inspector."

"I never expected that Inspector Wei would actually be interested in this matter and prepare to meet the young man you reported in person."

"Calculate the time; the Inspector should be arriving soon. Remember not to be grinning or acting frivolous later; you must show proper respect to the Inspector," Zhuge Tao whispered, reminding Wang Tai.

Wang Tai nodded, then wiped the smile from his face and returned to Chen Yuan's side, whispering the news he had just gathered.

Inspector Wei... is there such a person in the original story? Chen Yuan pondered, but he had no impression of the name, only remembering that Luo Feng had served as an Inspector.

An Inspector... within the Limit Dojo, their status was equivalent to a regional feudal lord, possessing absolute authority as the top leader, even holding the power to directly dismiss a Director.

Twenty years ago, the requirement for an Inspector was to be a peak War God powerhouse; of course, that was no longer the case now.

After all, even Chairman Zhou Zhengyong had become a Planetary Level powerhouse, so the Inspector's strength would only be higher than his.

However, Chen Yuan was not overly worried, because Jiangnan Base City was Luo Feng's hometown, and no Inspector would dare to abuse their power here.

Thus, the group continued to wait. About half an hour later, a deep blue, saucer-shaped Smart Fighter Jet appeared on the horizon, flying rapidly toward them and soon hovering above the crowd.

The hatch opened, and a figure stepped out from the fighter jet, slowly descending in front of everyone.

Being able to pilot a Smart Fighter Jet, he must be the Inspector, Chen Yuan thought, his gaze fixed on the man.

He saw that this Inspector Wei looked quite young, appearing to be around thirty years old, dressed in a tracksuit with a simple and easygoing temperament.

If not for the fact that he had flown down from a Smart Fighter Jet, judging solely by his appearance, Chen Yuan would never have guessed he was an Inspector. There was no sense of the majesty one would expect from someone in a high position; his plain demeanor was more like that of a fresh university graduate.

Inspector Wei walked up to the group and waved his hands with a somewhat shy smile: "Oh my, why are so many people here to greet me? Didn't I say on the phone that there was no need for such trouble?"

Chen Yuan felt his smile was quite awkward, as if he were extremely uncomfortable with the situation, and his inner confusion deepened. Is this really an Inspector?

"Inspector Wei, you jest. You have personally graced the Jiangnan Limit Hall with your presence; if no one were here to welcome you, wouldn't it seem as though we don't know our manners?" Chairman Zhou Zhengyong said with a face full of smiles and a respectful tone.

"Sigh, Chairman Zhou, you are too polite; it actually makes me feel embarrassed." Inspector Wei waved his hands hurriedly again, and Chen Yuan, having sharp eyes, noticed that the man was actually blushing.

Seeming to notice Chen Yuan's gaze, Inspector Wei turned his head, his eyes landing on Chen Yuan. They suddenly lit up, and he walked quickly over to Chen Yuan, looking him up and down carefully before clicking his tongue in praise: "You must be Chen Yuan, right? You truly live up to the reputation of a genius recommended by Chairman Zhou. This temperament... it's actually somewhat similar to A-Feng."

"No, that's not right. A-Feng's temperament is wild, while yours is calm." Inspector Wei shook his head as he spoke, looking somewhat puzzled. "Strange, why do I feel like you and A-Feng are so similar?"

A-Feng? It couldn't be Luo Feng, could it? Since his surname is Wei... A name surfaced in Chen Yuan's mind, and he looked at Inspector Wei, asking with a hesitant tone: "Inspector Wei, are you... perhaps named Wei Wen?"
