War God Palace

The lowest-ranked person present was at the Warlord level, so the low buzzing of whispers was actually perfectly audible to Wang Ji.

Wang Ji felt a bit embarrassed. He hadn't intended to interrupt the lecture, but Shi Jiang's words had triggered something in him. While preoccupied with thoughts about amplitude, he had subconsciously retorted the moment he heard something he felt was off.

However, hearing the skepticism and even some regional prejudice from the crowd below, Wang Ji had no choice but to stand up openly. "I have a different understanding of Senior Shi Jiang's perspective."

"May I ask, what is your current force output? What level have you reached in the 36-Fold Waves?" a white girl asked.

Wang Ji smiled and replied, "The second level, completed. Amplitude of 2."

"Hahaha..." The entire hall erupted in laughter, and the sound of pointing and questioning grew tenfold.

Wang Ji nodded slightly. "Low amplitude does not mean weak understanding. I am merely a newcomer who became a martial artist five months ago. Before encountering the 36-Fold Waves, I had never studied any secret manuals for increasing amplitude. I started from scratch and reached an amplitude of 2; I don't consider that poor. Perhaps because I started from nothing and was introduced directly to this brand-new method of force generation, I have some different views."

Listening to Wang Ji speak with such composure, the questioning voices quieted down. Wang Ji continued, "I believe that the 36-fold force output of the 36-Fold Waves needs to be considered as a whole. The body is a whole, and force is a wave. Force comes from the bones, the fascia, the muscles, and the blood and genetic energy. By the end of practicing the 36-Fold Waves, these systems must surely connect into one, and only when they erupt together can such high amplitude be achieved."

"If you only consider the amplitude of the muscles—one layer, two layers, or even many layers—it will inevitably become increasingly difficult. Because you narrowed your path from the very beginning. You should build the framework as complete and large as possible from the start, leaving nothing out, so that you can proceed step by step later on."

The dozens of students below were stunned for over ten seconds, and then applause broke out like a tidal wave.

"Good! GOOD!"

"Insightful! A perspective from the highest vantage point!"

The teacher was also stunned for a moment before hurriedly asking, "You are Wang Ji? The newly arrived student, Wang Ji?"

Wang Ji nodded. "It is I!"

After the class ended, many students surrounded Wang Ji to discuss force amplitude. Wang Ji dealt with them briefly, but finding it of little help to himself, he excused himself and left.

However, the impact of Wang Ji's words continued to spread.

Returning to his villa, the more Shi Jiang thought about it, the more he felt he had gained immensely. After practicing slowly for a while, his force output quickly increased to 3.9. One must realize this happened in just a short span of time. He hurriedly made a phone call: "Chief, yes! Wang Ji's understanding of the 36-Fold Waves is extremely profound. It is a comprehensive understanding from a high vantage point. Although he is only at the completion of the second level, his systematic understanding is far beyond what we possess."

"Understood! I see... I will continue to engage with him! We will discuss and progress together, understood!" Shi Jiang hung up the phone.

Shi Jiang was a student with a military background. He had already signed an agreement with the military and would join them upon graduation.

In the military, a high-ranking official muttered to himself, "This Wang Ji, he has something! I was careless. I should have pulled this young man in to study this manual together long ago. After all, he is the one who discovered it! There must be a reason why this ancient legacy chose him! Careless indeed!... But... could he have the complete legacy?"

Councilor Jia made the final decision. "Regardless of whether he has it or not, do not force him! This young man, I see he has a sense of the big picture and a spirit of dedication. Otherwise, he wouldn't have contributed the first volume of the 36-Fold Waves. At this stage, the first volume is enough for Earth to study for two or three years!"

On the other side, the teacher from the Elite Training Camp was also reporting: "That's right! Inspector. He is very insightful, and his global and systematic thinking is formidable! Understood, I will notify him immediately!"

In the afternoon, a car stopped outside the Jiangnan Pavilion, and the teacher who had lectured in the morning knocked on Wang Ji's door.

"Teacher?" Wang Ji was surprised.

"Quick! Come with me to a place. Someone wants to see you!" the teacher said.

"Who? Who wants to see me?" Wang Ji asked.

"You'll know when we get there."

Well, so mysterious—it must be a high-level official at the Inspector level of the Dojo.

The Mist Rain Pavilion was a quiet place in the training camp that was usually closed. The teacher led Wang Ji directly into the Mist Rain Pavilion. At the entrance of the first floor, the teacher said, "Go on up! Inspector Wang is waiting for you in the quiet room on the second floor!"

"Inspector Wang..." Wang Ji pondered for a moment before heading upstairs.

On the second floor, the door to the quiet room was wide open.

"Come in." A slightly hoarse voice rang out.

Wang Ji walked into the reception room and immediately saw a lean man sitting cross-legged in meditation. He had a handlebar mustache and looked to be nearly forty at first glance. His features suggested he must have been very handsome in his youth. At this moment, the lean man had his eyes closed, his fingers flicking a string of prayer beads.

A cup of tea sat on the table in front of him.

"Inspector," Wang Ji bowed slightly.

The lean man opened his eyes slightly. Under his gaze, Wang Ji felt as if he had been momentarily detached from the world. The reception room felt like a separate space, and the lean man was like a 'deity' within it. This invisible pressure made Wang Ji hold his breath.

"Sit!" The lean man pointed to the opposite side of the table.

Seeing Inspector Wang sitting cross-legged on a cushion, Wang Ji had no choice but to follow suit and sit cross-legged on the wooden floor.

"Your insights regarding the 36-Fold Waves are very perceptive; they have even alarmed the Master," Inspector Wang said indifferently.

"Ah?" Wang Ji truly hadn't expected that these words could alarm Hong! That was Hong!

Inspector Wang said, "The Master has granted you special permission to enter the War God Palace. You have been granted access rights to the War God Palace. Well, it is similar to the rights held by the heads of major nations; you can enter the War God Palace even though you are not a War God."

Wang Ji was surprised. He had been given such a right. Why? What was the use? Wang Ji didn't believe Hong would suddenly grant such a right without further intent.

Inspector Wang continued, "You are very smart. I see questions in your eyes. That's right, since the 36-Fold Waves appeared, it has been a massive earthquake for the entire upper echelon of martial artists! It is now proven that the original force generation routes on Earth were wrong. Or rather, they were biased."

"Right now, the War God Palace is conducting research on new force generation methods. Furthermore, all high-end secret manuals involving force amplitude will be revised!"

All high-end secret manuals involving force would be revised! This was a world-shaking event!

Inspector Wang said, "We know that you brought the 36-Fold Waves from the ruins. Now it seems you truly have a more unique and better perspective on this manual. We need you! The War God Palace's amplitude research needs you! Starting last month, the War God Palace holds a seminar on force amplitude every Wednesday. You must attend as well!"

"The Master asked me to convey one thing: if your viewpoints contribute to the research on force amplitude, you will be given a special contract."

Wang Ji thought to himself, It wouldn't be the same contract as Luo Feng's, would it? Luo Feng got the contract directly. For me, I have to make a contribution first to get it. Why is the gap between people so large?

An alloy case was pushed toward Wang Ji. "This is a virtual consciousness helmet for entering the War God Palace. Once you put it on in a safe place, the auxiliary AI inside will guide you step by step on what to do."
