Hongning Base City, Certification

Inside a room on the top floor of the Limit Dojo headquarters.

Li Qingxu and Hong sat cross-legged on cushions.

Suddenly.

A Dao diagram outlined in golden light manifested in the air above the room.

The Dao diagram was incredibly clear, as if the Nine Heavens had descended.

"This is?"

Hong stared at the golden Dao diagram with glowing eyes, his gaze filled with disbelief.

"A supreme secret technique. Once mastered, the world is yours to traverse; there is no path in this world that cannot be walked."

Li Qingxu explained.

This was him using the divine essence of his own Sacred Body to sketch out the Secret of Movement from the Shrouding the Heavens world.

Although it could not compare to the one on the Holy Cliff, it was more than sufficient for someone to contemplate and study.

After all, he had already researched the Secret of Movement thoroughly in his past life.

"Truly a supreme secret technique; it is profound beyond measure."

Hong furrowed his brows.

The true meaning contained within that Dao diagram made him feel as though he were looking up at the vast universe.

The diagram was right there, yet he could not find the entrance, and naturally, he could not enter it.

"By the way, with your current strength, it is time for you to make your mark."

Hong suddenly spoke up.

Hearing this, Li Qingxu naturally understood what Hong meant.

Within the Limit Dojo, once one reaches the War God Level, there are official duties to be assigned.

"Will you stay in Hongning Base City to join the Special Operations Group, or perhaps become an instructor at the training camp?"

"Or would you prefer to go to another base city and serve as an Inspector?"

"Where would you like to go?"

Hong asked.

Staying at headquarters or being sent abroad are the two paths for War Gods within the dojo; it is much like choosing between two jobs in a corporation, and once chosen, it is difficult to change.

Unless one breaks through in the future to transcend the War God level, only then would one have special privileges.

Li Qingxu pondered for a moment before saying, "Forget about going to other base cities; I will stay in Hongning Base City."

For him, it did not matter where he went, as long as he could cultivate.

Furthermore, there were monsters outside Hongning Base City that could allow him to fight and train simultaneously.

Most importantly, the biggest "monster" of them all was currently standing right in front of him.

"Staying here?"

Hearing this, a smile appeared on Hong's face.

Deep down, he also wanted Li Qingxu to stay.

If someone were to explain the profound meaning within that Dao diagram and demonstrate its use, he would be able to comprehend it much faster.

The next morning, on the bustling streets of Hongning Base City, vehicles flowed like a weaving loom.

Inside a six-wheeled Hummer, the interior space was vast; beyond the front driver's seat, the rear area resembled a lounge.

However, this lounge was occupied by an oversized backpack, and Li Qingxu sat alone on the sofa.

Last night, after learning that Li Qingxu would remain at headquarters, Hong had sent him out to kill two High-Level Lords to verify his strength.

Perhaps for an average entry-level War God, hunting High-Level Lords would be impossible.

Even a High-Level War God might not necessarily be able to kill one, as High-Level monster lords are incredibly fast at fleeing and are surrounded by countless other monsters.

But Li Qingxu simply activated his Sacred Body manifestation, the Secret of Movement, and the Secret of All; his speed far exceeded that of the monster lords, and his power was vastly superior, leaving the monster lords with nowhere to run before he crushed them on the spot!

Limit Mansion, an 88-story skyscraper, was a landmark building in Hongning Base City.

As the main base of the Limit Dojo, Hongning Base City was home to a great number of martial artists, and the daily foot traffic in the Limit Mansion was naturally immense, with the majority of people drinking and chatting in the first-floor lobby bar.

"Mr. Li."

Two women in suits greeted him at the entrance.

"Let's go."

Li Qingxu, dressed in a white robe, carried a backpack over two meters tall in one hand.

Led by the two attendants, he walked through the lobby and stepped directly into the elevator.

"Good heavens, that backpack must be at least two meters tall."

"Exactly how much monster material did you store?"

Voices in different languages rang out from all over the world. A warrior's backpack did indeed have layers that could expand to a massive volume if fully unzipped, but very few people ever stored that much material.

"Ding!"

The elevator doors opened on the 32nd floor.

Guided by a service attendant, he entered a spacious reception room where a woman who looked to be in her forties was seated.

"Hello, Mr. Li. My surname is Meng," the woman said with a smile.

"Clatter!"

Li Qingxu pulled the backpack's zipper open, immediately dumping all the monster materials inside into the basin to the side.

"Two High-level Lords!"

"You may leave first."

The woman surnamed Meng waved her hand at the service attendant standing nearby.

The vast majority of High-level War Gods were incapable of killing a High-level Lord-level monster.

"Process all the materials here," Li Qingxu said.

"Understood, Mr. Li."

Soon, Meng began testing them using her instruments.

"Help me with my combat record assessment and re-verify my title," Li Qingxu reminded her. "I killed these two High-level Lord-level monsters with my own hands."

To become a High-level War God, one had to submit the most vital materials from two High-level monster Lords, and they had to be killed personally.

In this regard, no War God would lie, as there was no point; deliberately obtaining a more impressive title provided no benefits, and one could not survive without sufficient strength.

"Understood."

"Mr. Li, 20 billion Huaxia Currency has been transferred to your exclusive warrior account, and your contribution value has been raised to four stars."

Meng sat before her laptop, tapped the wireless keyboard, and smiled at Li Qingxu.

"Upon becoming a War God, one is generally inducted into the War God Palace and issued a Consciousness Sensor, though the War God Palace will typically send someone to verify Mr. Li's strength."

Li Qingxu glanced at the screen.

The screen displayed his profile, with his rank listed as 'War God Level (High)'.

Below it was a pop-up box containing some text.

"War God Palace application, under review..."

It took only a few seconds.

Meng was still smiling as she said, "Mr. Li, someone from the War God Palace will be here today. It will be very quick."

"Beep!"

A harsh sound rang out.

On the laptop screen, another pop-up box had appeared: "War God Palace assessment passed!"

No one came to conduct an assessment on him? How did he pass already?

Meng was shocked. In all her time as a supervisor, this was the first time she had ever encountered such a thing.

However, she had heard that some powerhouses whose strength was recognized by the War God Palace Council were exempted from the assessment and passed directly, though such cases were extremely rare.

What did it mean to be recognized by the Council?

Every member of the War God Palace's supreme council was an existence that surpassed the War God level!

"Mr. Li, someone from the building will bring your items over in a moment," Meng said with a smile.

"Mm."

Li Qingxu was in no rush.

A few minutes later, the door to the reception room opened automatically.

Three men in uniforms walked in. The bald man of Chinese descent among them held a metal case and spoke respectfully to Li Qingxu.

"War God Li Qingxu, welcome to the War God Palace. You will receive a Consciousness Sensor helmet free of charge."

"With this Consciousness Sensor helmet, you can enter the Virtual Space directly from anywhere on Earth by putting it on."

"A Consciousness Sensor helmet?"

Li Qingxu naturally understood.

Every person who became a War God received one.

"Becoming a member of the War God Palace also grants you many special privileges, though these special privileges naturally come with special responsibilities."

The lead bald man handed over the metal case and said, "Once War God Li Qingxu uses the Consciousness Sensor to enter the Virtual Space, you will understand the many unique aspects of the War God Palace."

"Understood."

Li Qingxu took it with a smile.

He slid his finger across the latch, and with a beep, the metal case clicked open, revealing the deep blue helmet inside.
