Jiangnan Base City, Warrior Residential District, Su family villa.

Returning from the Wilderness Zone, if not for the desire to avoid causing a panic, Su Zhe would have flown directly home; however, considering the Devourer Beast incident had only ended a few days ago, it was better not to be so conspicuous.

At this moment, all of humanity was still in a state of high tension.

Even the villains from the original story could not possibly emerge to stir up trouble so soon; they were not even certain whether Luo Feng was dead or alive yet.

Otherwise, Su Zhe would not have cared if his strength were exposed.

"You're back?"

Not long after Su Zhe stepped through the front door, before he could speak, he saw Su Yongyi standing beside a somewhat familiar figure. The two were in the middle of a conversation, and upon seeing Su Zhe return, Su Yongyi beckoned him over.

The visitor was none other than Zhuge Tao, the executive who had represented the Extreme Martial Arts Hall when signing the contract with Su Zhe.

Zhuge Tao's status within the Extreme Martial Arts Hall was not low. Although he was only a high-level War General himself, he had a War God brother backing him, and most importantly, he was the one who had discovered the gem that was Luo Feng.

For this reason alone, few people in the Extreme Martial Arts Hall dared to cross Zhuge Tao.

It was only due to the limitations of his own strength that Zhuge Tao had been unable to reach a higher position.

Su Zhe did not know why Zhuge Tao would appear at his home, but he assumed there must be some matter at hand.

Su Yongyi looked at Su Zhe and said with a cheerful smile, "Executive Zhuge, Xiao Zhe is back. Could you please repeat what you just said?"

"Certainly."

Zhuge Tao nodded with a smile.

Su Zhe sat on the sofa, filled with confusion, and watched as a document appeared in Zhuge Tao's hand.

"Xiao Zhe, I have already discussed this with your father, and he agrees with my idea."

"This is the application for the Extreme Martial Arts Hall's Basic Training Camp. With your aptitude, you are fully qualified to join our Basic Training Camp." Zhuge Tao handed over the document first.

"Let me introduce the Basic Training Camp. Although it is not as prestigious as the Elite Training Camp—known as the 'War God Preparatory Camp'—it possesses all the necessary resources and equipment."

"If you perform well in the Basic Training Camp, you can even be directly admitted to the Elite Training Camp to enjoy the best resources for your development."

As Zhuge Tao spoke, he looked at Su Zhe and suddenly hesitated.

Having not seen him for a mere day, he felt as though Su Zhe had become different from yesterday.

Zhuge Tao was, after all, a high-level War General. Although he hadn't ventured into the Wilderness Zone much in recent years, he actually... felt a faint sense of threat emanating from Su Zhe?

How could this be?

Su Zhe was only a mid-level Warrior!

"Executive Zhuge."

At this point, Su Zhe understood what Zhuge Tao was implying.

Basic Training Camp?

There was no way he was going; with his current strength, Su Zhe could almost be an instructor in the Elite Training Camp.

"I am very sorry, but it seems I will not be able to attend this Basic Training Camp." Su Zhe stood up and said with a smile.

"Why?"

Zhuge Tao asked instinctively.

Although he felt something was off about Su Zhe, he never imagined that Su Zhe could be a War God.

The qualification to enter the Basic Training Camp was something countless warriors fought over; was Su Zhe really just turning it down?

Su Yongyi also looked at Su Zhe with confusion, but he chose to trust his son: "Xiao Zhe, has your strength increased again? Did you truly awaken spiritual power, or did you find some Spirit of Vegetation?"

"...Words are useless. You had better see it for yourselves."

Su Zhe shook his head slightly and chose to lead the two men to the villa's basement.

A punch-force tester sat in the center of the basement. Zhuge Tao and Su Yongyi stood to the side, their gazes fixed on Su Zhe.

Su Zhe raised his right hand casually, curled his five fingers, and did not deliberately use any force-generating techniques. He even deactivated his passively triggered super-muscles, throwing a simple, ordinary punch.

However.

The moment he clenched his fist, the pupils of the two men behind him shrank violently!

Both Su Yongyi and Zhuge Tao were high-level War Generals; they were naturally intimately familiar with this kind of aura.

"Bang!"

An invisible pressure, like a tangible tidal wave, radiated outward with Su Zhe at the center!

The air in the basement seemed to stagnate. The two watched in astonishment as Su Zhe's punch landed seemingly lightly on the target, and then... the numbers on the tester began to soar!

10,000kg... 20,000kg... 40,000kg... 60,000kg!

Finally, the number settled on a value that made Zhuge Tao's breathing stop and his eyes nearly pop out of their sockets—

66,710kg!

This had already surpassed the 64,000kg threshold of a low-level War God, marking that Su Zhe was already a War God!

"Wh-what?!"

Zhuge Tao was completely stunned.

He was only an Intermediate Warrior yesterday, and today he has already become a War God?

How is this possible!

Even back in the day, Luo Feng's rate of progress wasn't this fast, right?

A second Luo Feng?

No, no, no, this speed of progress is far more exaggerated than Luo Feng's!

This is a difference of one day, not one year!

"Did you hide your strength?" Zhuge Tao asked instinctively, but he quickly realized his mistake and shook his head repeatedly: "No, no, even if you had hidden your strength, it couldn't possibly be this exaggerated!"

"What exactly are you..."

Zhuge Tao looked Su Zhe up and down as if he were staring at a monster. Even Su Yongyi, standing to the side, looked at Su Zhe with a dazed expression, as if he were seeing his own son's true face for the first time.

If he hadn't watched Su Zhe grow up with his own eyes, Su Yongyi would have doubted whether Su Zhe was even his own flesh and blood.

One must know that the path Su Yongyi had originally arranged for Su Zhe was to become a War General step by step, first seeing if there was any hope of becoming a Senior War General before even considering whether he could become a War God!

Su Zhe's talent for practicing the Five-Heart-to-Heaven Technique and absorbing cosmic energy was not very good.

"How is it?"

Su Zhe turned back to look at the two men who were staring in a daze, a smile appearing on his face.

"...It seems that not only is the Basic Training Camp unsuitable for you, but even the Elite Training Camp is no longer a fit." Zhuge Tao gave a bitter laugh.

"Genius" was no longer enough to describe him.

This is a freak!

A monster!

"Su Zhe, I will contact the Director and the Inspector immediately to report your information. When the time comes, you will receive the full support and cultivation of our Extreme Martial Arts Hall. You have the hope of becoming the next Luo Feng... or even surpassing him!" Zhuge Tao said excitedly.

"Fine." Su Zhe said nonchalantly.

If one has the strength, one should naturally show it.

Su Zhe felt there was no need to play the pig to eat the tiger; mainly because on Earth... there weren't really any tigers to speak of.

Improving his strength enough to head into the universe as soon as possible was the true path.

If he could use his skyrocketing strength to lure out those hidden villains on Earth ahead of time, that would also be a good choice. Since those people were killed directly after Luo Feng returned anyway, he might as well devour them himself.

Su Zhe thought to himself.
