"Manager Zhu, the Punch Force Tester displays 1310 kg!"

Fearing he might anger Manager Zhu, the Training Hall staff member shouted at the top of his lungs, his voice carrying across the entire Sixth Floor.

"What? 1310 kg... H-how is that possible?" Manager Zhu froze, then dashed over at the fastest speed of his life.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Almost instantly, Instructor Fei and the Rose Squad members also rushed to the Punch Force Tester, their eyes locked tightly onto the screen.

"1310 kg!" Zhou Ying'er read out each word distinctly.

Instructor Fei, Manager Zhu, Shen Hong, and the other Rose Squad members could not help rubbing their eyes.

It was not that they did not want to believe their own eyes. The Punch Power result was simply too outrageous.

After all, the one being tested was merely a four-year-old child.

Even descendants of War Gods with exceptional genes were considered true geniuses if they could reach warrior-level physical fitness before the age of ten.

As for Punch Power at warrior level at the age of four?

Since the Great Nirvana, there had been only one such case in the world: a descendant of Hong, the world's strongest expert.

It had caused an enormous sensation at the time!

Yet now...

Manager Zhu had never imagined that such a child would be born in Mingyue Residential Area.

"What's your name?" Instructor Fei crouched down, his tone as gentle as could be.

"Zhou Hao." A childlike voice rang out.

Instructor Fei smiled. "I'll call you Little Hao, then. Could you hit this target one more time?"

Zhou Hao blinked and looked at Zhou Ying'er. "Sis, did I use too much strength just now? Do I need to hold back a little?"

Suppressing the joy in her heart, Zhou Ying'er hurried over and crouched beside him, stroking his little head. "Little Hao, you don't need to hold back. Just give it everything you've got."

"Really? I don't need to hold back?" Zhou Hao asked.

"No need. Hit it as hard as you can. If you break it, Uncle will pay for it," Instructor Fei said hurriedly.

A serious expression appeared on Zhou Hao's little face as its babyish cuteness gradually faded. Pretending to strain until his face turned red, he threw himself into the punch and smashed his fist toward the target.

His movement was just as unorthodox this time.

Yet the target shook violently, producing a dull sound like a beating war drum.

Manager Zhu, Instructor Fei, the Rose Squad members, Zhou Ying'er, and the others all held their breath as they stared at the screen on the tester.

The number soared wildly.

It finally stopped at 10121 kg.

At that moment...

The entire Sixth Floor of the Limitless Gym fell silent, save for the heavy sound of breathing.

According to the physical fitness standards, 8000 kg to 16000 kg was the Punch Power range of a Beginner General. The displayed 10121 kg had clearly surpassed the lower limit for a Beginner General.

In other words...

Zhou Hao, a four-year-old child, had Punch Power at the Beginner General level.

Seeing everyone around him standing there speechless, Zhou Hao said mischievously, "Sis, you're the one who told me not to hold back, okay?!"

His voice completely shattered the silence in the Training Hall.

Only then did Manager Zhu, Instructor Fei, and the others snap out of their shock.

"Ying'er, carry Little Hao to the side," Manager Zhu suddenly said in a low voice.

Zhou Ying'er was so overwhelmed with excitement that she did not understand what Manager Zhu meant at first.

But Shen Hong understood. She stepped forward and carried Zhou Hao away.

Manager Zhu looked at Zhang Yi. "Zhang Yi, go test the Punch Force Tester."

Hearing this...

The others finally understood. Manager Zhu was worried that the Punch Force Tester was broken.

Zhang Yi hurried forward, bent his body, gave a low shout, and slammed his fist heavily into the target.

The screen quickly displayed a number: 13160 kg.

"The tester isn't broken." Seeing Manager Zhu look over, Zhang Yi spoke with a solemn expression.

As soon as he finished speaking...

Manager Zhu and Instructor Fei's gazes met.

"A four-year-old Beginner General!!!" They could both see the irrepressible excitement, exhilaration, and ecstasy in each other's eyes.

They knew very well what this meant.

At only four years old, he had already reached the physical fitness level of a Beginner General.

He was simply even more gifted than the descendant of Hong, the world's strongest expert!

With genes and natural talent this outstanding, reaching the War God level would be effortless with even a little cultivation. There was even a great possibility that he could surpass a War God.

Instructor Fei did not hesitate any longer. He directly opened his communication watch and sent a message.

Manager Zhu's eyes nearly popped out when he saw this. "Old Fei, what are you doing?!!"

"Of course I'm informing Councilor Jia of the Huaxia Military. Such an outstanding genius, practically a monster, should naturally be sent to the Huaxia Military for training!" Instructor Fei said, his hands never stopping.

"Bullshit!! He belongs to my Limit Martial Hall!" Manager Zhu roared. His movements were no slower as he directly dialed the Inspector of the Limit Martial Hall in Jiangnan Base City.

Very soon...

A deep voice sounded. "Hello..."

Manager Zhu shouted anxiously, "Inspector Wang, this is Zhu Shi, chief manager of the Yangzhou City Limitless Gym. Just now, a four-year-old Beginner General emerged in Mingyue Residential Area!! Please notify Lord Hong, the chief manager of the Limit Martial Hall, immediately!"

Inspector Wang on the other end of the call was clearly stunned. "What? Zhu Shi, are you saying that a four-year-old Beginner General was discovered in Mingyue Residential Area???"

"Yes, time is critical! Councilor Jia from the military will probably arrive soon. We absolutely cannot let the military get there first!" Manager Zhu was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.

"Zhu Shi, this is no joke. Even our chief manager's daughter, who was born after he broke through to the Councilor level, only reached warrior-level physical fitness at the age of four!" Inspector Wang could not help reminding him.

Seeing that Instructor Fei had already finished sending the message, Manager Zhu became even more anxious. "I guarantee it with my reputation and position as manager of this Training Hall. It is absolutely true!"

Rustle.

The moment Inspector Wang heard that, he immediately stood up. "Fine. I'll notify the chief manager right away. Remember, no matter what means you use, you must not let the military take this genius away!"

After hanging up...

Manager Zhu hurriedly gave Shen Hong a meaningful look.

But Instructor Fei was even faster. He took one step forward, stood beside Zhou Hao, crouched down, and smiled. "Little Hao, you did very well just now. Someone will come pick you up later. Then you can follow Uncle to a wonderful place. There'll be all kinds of delicious food and fun things to play with there..."

Manager Zhu also stepped forward, stuck out his backside, and squeezed Instructor Fei aside. "Little Hao, don't listen to this guy. The military is famously strict. If you go with him, you'll definitely suffer. Come with Uncle Zhu to the Limit Martial Hall headquarters instead. Once you're there, you can do whatever you want without any restrictions!"

Instructor Fei immediately said, "Zhu, stop spreading lies and slander. Our military is indeed strict, but that's only for ordinary people. How could a genius like Little Hao be treated the same as ordinary people?"

The two exposed each other's shortcomings back and forth. In the end, they got so angry that they stripped to the waist and started grappling like children in a fight.

Shen Hong and the other Rose Squad members could only stare at one another.

Boom!

Just then...

The door at the Sixth Floor entrance was blasted open, and a towering figure like a giant bear appeared. The moment he entered, he shouted anxiously, "Where is that genius?"

Manager Zhu and Instructor Fei exchanged a glance, then said in unison, "Damn it, even the Thunderclap Martial Hall knows!"
