Headquarters Check-In (Please Bookmark and Recommend)

Zhou Hao left the airport. Looking at the bustling streets and the smiles on the faces of passing pedestrians, he could not help but sigh inwardly. Compared to the other base cities, the residents of Hongning Base City were clearly more confident and felt safer, judging by their spirits alone.

And all of this...

Clearly stemmed from their trust in the base city.

After all, this base city was guarded by Hong, the world's strongest man. Even Beast Emperors would not dare provoke it lightly.

After taking the subway for half an hour, he arrived at the area where the Limit Martial Hall headquarters was located. He then flew on his shield for several more minutes before stopping near the enormous hatchway of the headquarters, which was dozens of meters wide.

He looked up at the gigantic spaceship-like structure before him.

This should be an interstellar transport ship from the universe. I wonder how Hong discovered it back then.

Rows of fully armed soldiers stood guard outside the hatchway, their security extremely tight.

If any other martial artist even approached the headquarters' spaceship structure, they would be taken away by the soldiers, have their identity thoroughly checked, and be questioned about their purpose.

But Zhou Hao possessed the Star Concealment Technique. With his aura hidden, his entire body resembled an inanimate object, and these soldiers could not detect him at all.

Without hesitation, he strode directly toward the hatchway.

There was a detection and scanning system at the hatchway. Anyone without authorization who entered would be killed by the ship's defense system.

Though Zhou Hao was confident in the Star Concealment Technique, he could not help feeling uneasy as he reached the entrance. After hesitating briefly, he gritted his teeth and stepped forward. At the same time, however, his entire body tensed to the utmost.

The instant blue scanning beams appeared, he would immediately retreat and flee!

Fortunately, the Zhou Tian Star Concealment Technique truly was powerful. Even this interstellar transport ship's system could not detect any trace of Zhou Hao.

He safely crossed the hatchway.

Zhou Hao immediately let out a breath of relief. Looking at the enormous silver-white hatchway passage dozens of meters wide before him, he quickly walked inside. Only after he stood in the internal circular corridor did he stop.

"System, check in!"

With a thought...

The system's voice soon rang out.

"Ding! Congratulations, Host, on successfully checking in at the Limit Martial Hall headquarters. Reward obtained: Black God Suit!"

"Ding! Congratulations, Host... Reward obtained: 'Fundamentals of Mental Power Master.'"

"Ding! Congratulations, Host... Reward obtained: 'Annihilation.'"

"Ding! Congratulations, Host... Reward obtained: three types of Spirit of Grass and Wood: Black Crow Root, Hundred Dew Grass, and Crimson Blood Vine."

"Ding! Congratulations, Host... Reward obtained: Mental Master Talent +10."

"Ding! Congratulations, Host... Reward obtained: Warrior Talent +10."

The system had exploded with six consecutive rewards!

Moreover, whether it was the Black God Suit, the Fundamentals of Mental Power Master, or the Spirit of Grass and Wood, they were all good items.

As for the martial artist secret technique, Annihilation, while it was also quite good and could greatly increase Zhou Hao's explosive power, it ultimately could not compare with a Mental Power Master secret technique. It was better than nothing.

The remaining Mental Master Talent and Warrior Talent rewards were ten times greater than those from the Limitless Gym in Jiangnan Base City, which was decent enough.

Zhou Hao nodded to himself in satisfaction. The rewards for the first check-in really are quite good. I wonder whether I can get a Mental Power Weapon if I keep checking in here!

The Limit Martial Hall headquarters had quite a few good things. They had all been scavenged by Hong from various Ancient Civilization Relics during his rise in the Great Nirvana era. Among them, the Mental Power Weapon Heaven-Piercing Shuttle could greatly amplify a Mental Power Master's strength.

It could be said...

Only a Mental Power Master with a Mental Power Weapon in hand was a true controller.

With the check-in complete...

He did not hurry to claim the rewards. Instead, he first left the gigantic spaceship structure.

More than two hours later, at 12:10 in the afternoon...

Zhou Hao finally returned to Villa 117 in Mingyue Residential Area.

Steaming dishes were laid out on the dining table. This was just when his mother, Wang Rong, had finished cooking.

"Whew, good thing I'm not late!" He breathed a sigh of relief and quickly sat down at the table.

Wang Rong emerged from the kitchen and set her apron aside. Looking at Zhou Hao, she smiled. "Xiao Hao, eat up. I'll make you one more delicious meal today, but tomorrow we'll have to go back to normal."

"Your sister told me to," she added.

Zhou Hao nodded, shoveling food into his mouth as he muttered, "Mom, Gene Meat isn't cheap. A single pound costs over ten thousand Chinese Dollars, and anything a little better costs even more. We should save some. It isn't easy for my sister to earn money either!"

Wang Rong laughed. "Do you think you can hide those little thoughts from your mother? Feeling sorry for your sister is fake. Not wanting to eat Gene Meat is the real reason, isn't it?"

"Gene Meat really does taste awful. At worst, I'll just go work out at the Training Hall more often," Zhou Hao suggested.

"No. You're still young. The more you exercise, the more nutrition you need to replenish." Wang Rong shook her head and refused. "All right, Mom will make you some other things you like from now on."

Zhou Hao grinned. "Okay."

After eating...

He first lay in the sun on the balcony for a while before returning to his room to claim his check-in rewards.

Boom.

A vast amount of information from the two manuals, Fundamentals of Mental Power Master and Annihilation, immediately flooded wildly into Zhou Hao's mind.

Having experienced this many times before, his expression remained calm and unruffled.

The three types of Spirit of Grass and Wood—Black Crow Root, Hundred Dew Grass, and Crimson Blood Vine—also floated separately before Zhou Hao. Each of these spiritual medicines could greatly improve a martial artist's physical fitness. However, once one's physical fitness reached the peak of a High-level War God, consuming such Spirit of Grass and Wood would no longer have any effect.

Next came the Black God Suit.

It appeared in the form of a black vest.

Zhou Hao placed the three types of Spirit of Grass and Wood beside him, then took off his clothes and put on the black vest.

About half a minute passed before his body felt as though it were being pricked by needles. The Black God Suit was absorbing blood from his skin. Then, the black vest began to tremble, transforming into black liquid that completely fused into the surface of Zhou Hao's body.

The entire process lasted around fifteen minutes.

"With the Black God Suit, I won't have to worry so much when fighting monsters again!" Excitement appeared on Zhou Hao's young face. The Black God Suit's defense was incredibly strong; even the claws of a King-level Monster could not break through it.

After experiencing the Black God Suit's wonders for a while...

Zhou Hao's gaze fell upon the three types of Spirit of Grass and Wood.

"I'll save the thousand-year Black Crow Root and the Hundred Dew Grass... I'll consume the Crimson Blood Vine myself!" With that thought, he took out the Crimson Blood Vine. A throwing knife floated into the air, and under Zhou Hao's control, its tip lightly sliced across the vine's surface.

Blood-like fluid seeped out, and more and more of it emerged.

The Crimson Blood Vine was used much like Dragon Blood—it was applied externally.

Thus, Zhou Hao hurriedly smeared the blood seeping from the vine all over his body.

Boom.

The moment the blood touched his skin, it produced a scorching heat. The heat quickly spread across his entire body, then ravaged Zhou Hao's meridians, bones, and blood like a tyrannical torrent.

In less than half a minute...

Zhou Hao felt as though ten thousand ants were tearing at his entire body. Soon after, waves of bone-deep pain surged through him.

Even War God-level martial artists might not be able to endure such pain, but Zhou Hao was different. Having experienced the pain of soul extraction, his mental will had long since become extraordinary.

He gritted his teeth as his body trembled incessantly.

The medicinal effect of the Crimson Blood Vine began to take hold. His body cells frantically absorbed energy. Vast numbers of genes broke apart, improved, and recombined. His bones and sinews were greatly strengthened, while the liquid-like mist surrounding the Golden Orb in his mind continuously released enormous amounts of pure Mental Power, enhancing his mental strength while also transforming his bodily genes.

Under the dual transformation...

Zhou Hao's physical fitness soared in a straight line like a rocket!
