Instructor Tong Yang

Although there was a supply of cosmic energy within the Dimensional Space, Luo Zhe did not feel the slightest bit of hunger. However, out of long-standing habit, he still ate breakfast before heading out.

The Extreme Martial Arts Hall, the largest martial arts organization on Earth, was founded by the world's strongest fighter, Hong.

With branches blossoming all over the globe, the Extreme Martial Arts Hall was propelled to the position of the world's premier power, with only the Thunder Martial Arts Hall capable of contending with it to any degree.

Naturally, the Extreme Martial Arts Hall had a clear objective: to train students and provide a steady stream of martial artists and powerhouses to reclaim the territories occupied by monsters. Since there was no conflict of interest with the Five Great Nations, they were more than happy to see it flourish.

"Beep!"

After swiping his student ID at the main entrance, Luo Zhe entered the grounds of the dojo.

Although he had become a prospective martial artist a few days ago, before participating in the actual combat assessment and joining another faction, Luo Zhe was still permitted to train in the practice halls of the Extreme Martial Arts Hall.

Joining the Extreme Martial Arts Hall also represented freedom!

Freedom—the two words that every martial artist yearned for—was one of the reasons why the Extreme Martial Arts Hall could become the world's number one power.

The Limit Dojo building sat there like a massive monster. Its footprint alone was larger than an entire high school. The three giant silver-white buildings within the courtyard were the Primary Student Teaching Building, the Intermediate Student Teaching Building, and the Advanced Student Teaching Building, respectively.

Within the Advanced Student Teaching Building, the first and second floors were large lecture halls for instructors to teach classes. The third floor was a practice hall specifically for advanced students, while the fourth floor was reserved for instructors and teachers to warm up and train. Naturally, prospective martial artists were also qualified to enter.

Luo Zhe's target this time was the fourth floor. Even though he was not an instructor and had only passed the prospective martial artist assessment a few days ago without yet receiving his certificate, his identity information already confirmed him as a bona fide prospective martial artist, so he was naturally qualified to enter the fourth floor.

Passing the stairs of the second and third floors, there was a small room next to the fourth-floor landing. It was usually used as a storage room by Uncle Wang from the logistics department, so one could often see Uncle Wang setting up a chair at the door to prevent curious little brats from running up to cause trouble.

However, today seemed different from usual. At the door of the room, the familiar Uncle Wang was nowhere to be seen. The first thing he saw upon looking up was a foot sticking out of the doorway, resting on the stair railing and swinging back and forth, looking incredibly carefree.

He could even hear the person humming a tune; listening closely, it was an old song from the Great Nirvana era.

As he got closer, Luo Zhe realized that the owner of the foot was actually the dojo instructor, Tong Yang.

"Instructor, why are you here today? Where did Uncle Wang go?" Luo Zhe asked in surprise.

It was rare to see Tong Yang at the Limit Dojo. For one, as an instructor, his teaching duties were mostly delegated to his subordinates, with only a few advanced student courses taught by him personally. Secondly, there was a rumor in the dojo that Tong Yang had strong connections and was only here to pad his resume.

Naturally, he wouldn't pay much attention to these little brats who hadn't even become martial artists yet.

Hearing the voice, Tong Yang realized Luo Zhe had walked up to him. He hurriedly pulled his foot back from the railing, incidentally stepping back into his shoe the sock that had been peeking out beside the chair.

He wanted to pretend nothing happened and pick up the tea beside him for a sip, only to find the cup was empty.

Damn, this is so awkward!

He forcibly changed the subject to divert Luo Zhe's attention.

"Uncle Wang isn't feeling well today, so I told him to go to the hospital. But why do you have time to come to the dojo today?" As he spoke, Tong Yang feigned nonchalance, put down the empty teacup, and looked Luo Zhe up and down with an inquisitive gaze.

"You only passed the prospective martial artist exam a few days ago, and you're already here to train? Shouldn't you be out celebrating?"

Luo Zhe's gaze shifted slightly downward; the figure of a little yellow bear was still quite clear. He hadn't expected someone as rugged as Instructor Tong Yang to wear Winnie the Pooh socks.

Seeing Tong Yang's foot move, with a large foot stomping hard onto the Winnie the Pooh sock, Luo Zhe hurriedly shifted his gaze back.

With a chuckle, Luo Zhe scratched his head and said, "It's just that I successfully cultivated the Genetic Energy Cultivation Method these past few days, so I wanted to see how much my strength has increased."

Tong Yang nodded.

That made sense. Every martial artist would try to cultivate genetic energy the moment they obtained the method. After all, the boost in strength after the first successful cultivation was quite significant.

This was mainly because from the time humans were born until their first cultivation, there was a gap of over a decade or even longer where the body had never absorbed genetic energy.

Because it had never been absorbed, the body had been "starving" for ten or twenty years, so the progress made during the first cultivation was the most astonishing!

It seemed this Luo Zhe was quite a talent; he had succeeded in his first cultivation after only a few days.

That was true.

In recent years, the younger generation at the Jiangdu District Limit Dojo was essentially led by Luo Zhe. Although a 21-year-old prospective martial artist didn't count for much in the entire Jiangnan Base City, the title was quite prestigious for one of the four major districts under Yangzhou City, one of the eight satellite cities.

He just wondered how much his strength had increased and what the growth margin was.

The progress made during the first cultivation also represented a person's aptitude.

For an ordinary person, the first cultivation usually increased punch strength by 300-500 kilograms, which was quite common. Some who increased by 600 kilograms were considered relatively outstanding.

But there were elite figures who increased by over 1,000 kilograms.

And there were monsters who, upon their first cultivation of genetic energy, increased by over 2,000 kilograms directly.

Such monstrous geniuses were rare even on a global scale. Even in the vast Jiangnan Base City, there would be at most one or two in a year.

Since he was idle anyway, Tong Yang put on his shoes, stood up, and clapped his hands.

"Come on, I'll turn on the machines for you. Let's see what the results of your first genetic energy cultivation look like."

Tong Yang walked straight into the practice hall, turned on the Punch Strength Tester, Speed Tester, and Neural Response Tester, then stood aside to make room for Luo Zhe.

"Go ahead, give it your best shot and let me see."

Luo Zhe nodded. He also wanted to know how much progress he had made from his training over the past few days.

He walked to the Punch Strength Tester, took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled. After adjusting his state, his entire body exerted force in an instant; his waist and back tightened, and a surge of power traveled along his spine to his right shoulder.

BOOM--

The sound arrived before the fist!

Following a sonic boom that rang in his ears, Luo Zhe's fist struck the target like a precision-guided cruise missile. The entire target slammed backward, then quickly rebounded, shaking violently.

"Beep!"

After throwing that punch, Luo Zhe immediately looked toward the display screen of the Punch Strength Tester; he still lacked a bit of confidence regarding the results of his training over the past few days.

After all, unlike the first training session for everyone else, when he performed his first session of Genetic Origin Energy training, he had been knocked unconscious by the massive explosion caused by the opening of his Dimensional Space shortly after sensing the cosmic energy, before his famished cells could even be satiated.

And almost every martial artist knew just how significant the first session of Genetic Origin Energy training was for improving one's physical fitness!

Therefore, Luo Zhe was desperate to know the result of this punch strength test!

The display screen clearly showed—'5895KG'!
