Jiangnan Pavilion

Inside an underground building in Huaxia Nation, the Jingdu Base City.

There are three underground layers.

Inside the elegantly decorated office, a lean man dressed in loose-fitting training clothes tapped lightly on the table with one hand while flipping through information about Luo Zhe in the other.

"I never expected that Luo Zhe could still make progress little by little under such difficult conditions, step by step, and enter the Elite Training Camp."

"That's fine, it saves us a lot of trouble. However, we should still send an order to the Jiangnan Base City branch to have someone keep a close watch on the Li family in apartment 303 Star Source Residential Complex Jiangdu District, Yangzhou City, 24 hours a day. First, we need to ensure their personal safety; second, we need to prevent the local thugs from harassing their shop."

"Among Luo Zhe's relatives and friends, only his family doesn't live in the Warrior Residential Area. You all need to be on your guard. We absolutely cannot allow what happened last time to happen again!"

The lean man had a black mole on his chin and a cold, brooding gaze.

"Yes."

Governments, militaries, special organizations, financial groups, and families from various countries all have different plans for dealing with Luo Zhe, who has just entered the Elite Training Camp!

Similarly, as one of the important family partners of the HR Alliance in Huaxia, the current head of the Tong Family, Tong Laoye Tong Luo, who has been around since the Great Nirvana Period, naturally received this information almost immediately.

In the main urban area of Jiangnan Base City, on the 31st floor of the Tong Group building, in the chairman's office.

"Tong Xin, look at this Luo Zhe, isn't he the one Xiao Yang recommended to Zhuge Tao?" After reviewing all the information, Old Master Tong seemed to suddenly remember something and turned to ask the middle-aged man standing respectfully to the side.

"Yes, Chairman. Before Tong Yang returned from Yangzhou City, he had a brief encounter with Luo Zhe, who personally recommended him to Zhuge Tao. I personally confirmed this with Uncle Bai; he was the one who personally went to the train station to meet him." The middle-aged man bowed and said earnestly.

"We also suspected that Luo Zhe was the middleman between Tong Yang and Zhuge Tao, but after careful investigation, we ruled out this possibility. Luo Zhe's previous records were extremely ordinary, until he passed the assessment four months ago and became Quasi-Martial Artist, at which point he began to display astonishing Fighter talent! Moreover, after that contact with Tong Yang, they never had any further contact."

"Um."

Grandpa Tong nodded, pondered for a moment, and slowly asked, "Contact Venina and check the recent call records of all the communication devices under Xiao Yang's name. Take a good look and see if anyone has contacted him recently."

"Also, your thinking is too rigid. You need to consider things from multiple perspectives. Even if Luo Zhe isn't the middleman, so what? We can still pretend to be the middleman. That way, we'll have an excuse to actively contact Luo Zhe, right?"

"Thank you for your guidance, Chairman," the middle-aged man replied respectfully.

"Sigh! Forget it, it's better to hope that an iron tree will bloom than to expect you to suddenly become wise." Old Master Tong shook his head helplessly, then a glint flashed in his eyes, "Xiao Yang is a good kid, so treat him well these days. Who knows, we might need him to win over Luo Zhe."

As they emerged from the Ninefold Tower, the once clear sky suddenly became overcast, and a heavy rain began to fall. Luo Zhe and Yang Hui both came out with umbrellas.

The torrential rain continued unabated, the overwhelming downpour limiting Luo Zhe's vision to just a few meters around him, forcing him to barely keep up with Yang Hui's pace.

"Pitter-patter-patter!" Large raindrops pounded on the umbrella, splashing water everywhere.

Holding an umbrella, Luo Zhe followed closely beside Yang Hui. After crossing a wooden arched bridge, they arrived at a cluster of buildings. Yang Hui pointed to a spot not far away. "Luo Zhe, that garden over there is Jiangnan Pavilion. There are already two students living in the Jiangnan Pavilion Jiangnan Pavilion, and you are the third student residing there."

"Jiangnan Pavilion?" Luo Zhe's heart skipped a beat, and he asked, "Teacher Yang, how come it shares the same name as Jiangnan Base City?"

"Haha, actually it's named after the Base City. The two students living in the Jiangnan Pavilion are both from Jiangnan Base City, but they arrived earlier than you; they're your senior brothers and sisters." Yang Hui said mysteriously, then suddenly lowered his voice and said, "I'm warning you, one of the two students currently living in the Jiangnan Pavilion is named Shi Jiang! He's extremely powerful; even I'm not confident I can beat him. It'll be good for you if you get along well with him."

"Shi Jiang?" This was the second time Luo Zhe had heard this name today, but upon hearing Yang Hui's words, he couldn't help but be taken aback. "Teacher, you're not even confident of beating him?"

Good heavens, Yang Hui is a mid-level War God!

They couldn't even beat a student from the Elite Training Camp? That's ridiculous!

"Um."

Yang Hui nodded. "Shi Jiang is one of the top five trainees in the Training Camp. Many trainees in this Elite Training Camp already possess the strength of War God, but they just don't pursue the title of War God! This way, they can stay in the Training Camp until they graduate after five years!"

"Let me tell you, almost every one of the top thirty trainees in the entire Training Camp camp actually possesses the strength of War God."

Luo Zhe blinked. The top thirty—almost everyone there possessed the strength of War God?

That's way too much!

They're all playing dumb to get ahead; they could graduate, but they insist on staying in this Training Camp for the full five years. How can the new recruits possibly compete with them?

"The top five are all freaks! Almost every one of them is just as strong as me, or even stronger!" Yang Hui said in a low voice. "The competition among elites from all over the world, especially the top five, is extremely Shi Jiang. To consistently remain in the top five... once he graduates, no matter where he goes, he will definitely receive top-tier treatment!"

"If he were in my Extreme Martial Arts Hall, he could easily get the position of president, for example, in the Jiangnan Base City," Yang Hui said, winking at Luo Zhe. "That's why I asked you to get on good terms with him; after all, you're both from Jiangnan Base City."

Luo Zhe couldn't help but chuckle.

Comparable to the strength of the president of the Extreme Martial Arts Hall in Jiangnan Base City? This is one of the four giants of the Extreme Martial Arts Hall in Jiangnan Base City! Dealing with someone of this level is incredibly stressful!

"If he can endure a few more years and break through to the next level, obtaining the title of High-level War God, or even Invincible War God, it wouldn't be impossible for him to become the ' Inspector ' of my Extreme Martial Arts Hall." Yang Hui sighed, perhaps he was now about the same strength as that ' Shi Jiang,' but he was already over fifty, and it would be difficult for him to improve his strength significantly again. Shi Jiang, on the other hand, was only in his twenties; he had a bright future ahead of him!

... Still in shock, Luo Zhe arrived at the entrance of the Jiangnan Pavilion.

The courtyard of the Jiangnan Pavilion is several tens of meters in diameter, with white walls and black tiles, and even dragon carvings on the walls.

Push open the courtyard gate and go inside.

There are three pavilions in the Jiangnan Pavilion, arranged in a triangular formation. When Luo Zhe and Yang Hui walked into the courtyard, the pavilions were very quiet. Yang Hui called out, "Shi Jiang, Zhao Ruo!" Immediately, a short-haired girl in a loose bathrobe appeared on the balcony of the second floor of the pavilion on the left, while a figure jumped down from the pavilion directly in front of them. Upon closer inspection, it was a young man carrying an umbrella and wearing a black training uniform.

Luo Zhe carefully observed the young man whose name he had heard twice today, and who had been praised and boasted about by Yang Hui.
