Clearwind Residential Community Ultimate Martial Arts Hall.

After receiving Xiao Yang's message, Chen Jian casually sent him another one.

Then, he cleared his throat and took out his communication wristband to make a call.

"Ahem, ahem."

At the same time, Chen Jian hurried outside.

Just then, the call connected.

"Old Chen, what's the matter?"

A middle-aged man's voice came from the communication wristband.

If Xiao Yang had been there, he would have recognized the voice as Wang Ming's.

Chen Jian spoke with some urgency, though his expression remained unusually calm.

"Old Wang, do you remember Xiao Yang?"

"His strength has now reached over 2,700 kilograms!"

"According to him, he sensed Genetic Origin Energy on the very day he finished the Quasi-Martial Artist Assessment!"

"He's currently at the HR Alliance's underwater training hall."

"Zhang Tian'en and Zhao Tianlei have both gone to invite him to join the HR Alliance and Thunder Dojo!"

"I've temporarily kept him there and told him to wait."

"I'm already on my way to the HR Alliance's underwater training hall. Hurry up and report this to the supervisor!"

Chen Jian spoke extremely quickly.

Yet compared with his calm expression, his tone felt strangely disjointed.

At the Ultimate Club, Wang Ming, who had been sitting in his office reviewing the new trainee files for the month, immediately rose in shock.

"What!"

"Hurry to the HR Alliance's underwater training hall and keep Xiao Yang there."

"Don't let the HR Alliance and Thunder Dojo trick him away!"

"I'll go tell the supervisor right now."

With that, Wang Ming ended the call and dialed another number.

At that moment, Chen Jian, who was running toward the HR Alliance's underwater training hall, wore a faint smile.

However, he quickly composed himself.

Given Chen Jian's speed, it did not take him long at all to reach the HR Alliance's underwater training hall.

When he arrived at the lounge, Zhang Tian'en, Zhao Tianlei, and Xiao Yang were sitting together.

Zhang Tian'en and Zhao Tianlei were currently arguing fiercely.

"What use is your HR Alliance besides having money?"

"Come to our Thunder Dojo. It'll also be much more convenient for you to enter the Basic Training Camp and Elite Training Camp in the future!"

Zhao Tianlei slapped the table and glared at Zhang Tian'en.

Zhang Tian'en's eyes were red as well as he pointed at Zhao Tianlei.

"So what?"

"If we want to, we can also send Xiao Yang into the Basic Training Camp and Elite Training Camp."

"And what's wrong with having plenty of money?"

"Buying manuals and equipment—what doesn't require money?"

"What Martial Warrior doesn't need money?"

Xiao Yang sat nearby, watching the two innocently.

When he saw Chen Jian enter, his eyes immediately lit up, and he was about to greet him.

But at that moment, Chen Jian gave a slight shake of his head and signaled for Xiao Yang to pretend not to know him.

"Isn't it a little inappropriate for you two to poach talent from our Ultimate Martial Arts Hall?"

"Xiao Yang has always been a trainee at our Ultimate Martial Arts Hall!"

"He grew up in our Clearwind Residential Community."

"And he has always trained at our Ultimate Martial Arts Hall."

"He has always wanted to join our Ultimate Martial Arts Hall. He simply hasn't signed a contract yet because he hasn't passed the Martial Artist Combat Assessment."

Zhao Tianlei and Zhang Tian'en recognized Chen Jian as well.

After all, Luo City was not large, and people from the three major factions generally knew one another.

The two exchanged a glance and decided to form a temporary united front.

Zhao Tianlei looked at Chen Jian and said,

"So what? You never signed Xiao Yang up in the first place. Doesn't that mean you didn't value him?"

Zhang Tian'en also chimed in from the side.

"That's right. If you valued Xiao Yang, why would he need to come to our underwater training hall?"

"Who said that? We had already prepared excellent terms for Xiao Yang."

Just as Chen Jian finished rebutting them, his communication wristband rang again.

He saw that the caller was actually Liu Mingxian, the supervisor of Central Plains Base City.

Without hesitation, he answered the call, turned on speakerphone, and quickly said,

"Supervisor, I'm right beside Xiao Yang now."

"People from Thunder Dojo and the HR Alliance are here too."

Hearing how Chen Jian addressed the caller, Zhao Tianlei and Zhang Tian'en immediately sensed trouble.

Chen Jian's authority was indeed lower than theirs, so they had not been too concerned.

But Liu Mingxian's authority far exceeded theirs.

After hearing Chen Jian's words, Liu Mingxian spoke directly.

"Xiao Yang should be there, right?"

"I'm Liu Mingxian from the Ultimate Martial Arts Hall in Central Plains Base City."

"I actually heard about you some time ago."

"A seventeen-year-old Quasi-Martial Warrior. Very impressive."

"And you successfully cultivated the Five Hearts Facing Heaven Method in such a short time."

"I've decided to raise the genius contract I originally prepared for you by another level."

"Our martial arts hall's top-tier contract offers twenty million in starting funds and a fifty-million quota for purchasing cultivation techniques."

"I've decided to offer you thirty million in starting funds and a one-hundred-million quota for cultivation techniques!"

"You can have Chen Jian sign the electronic contract with you right now."

"What do you think?"

As soon as those words were spoken, Zhang Tian'en and Zhao Tianlei immediately wilted.

After all, neither of them had authority as high as Liu Mingxian's.

Zhao Tianlei could only offer a top-tier genius contract: twenty million in starting funds plus a fifty-million cultivation technique quota.

Zhang Tian'en, meanwhile, had offered one hundred million in cash.

But the terms Liu Mingxian offered now instantly crushed both of them.

Xiao Yang did not hesitate before answering directly.

"Thank you, Supervisor."

"I grew up at the Ultimate Martial Arts Hall."

"So I'm willing to sign with our martial arts hall."

Upon hearing this, Liu Mingxian immediately let out a hearty laugh.

"Good. Welcome to our Ultimate Martial Arts Hall."

"Chen Jian, I'll send you the contract. Let Xiao Yang take a look."

"Once it's signed, we'll print the contract and send it to him."

Chen Jian checked and found that he had indeed received a contract.

He directly handed the tablet he had brought to Xiao Yang.

Xiao Yang did not hesitate. He glanced through it, confirmed the amounts, and signed his name.

At that moment, Zhang Tian'en and Zhao Tianlei watched the smug Chen Jian and gritted their teeth in frustration.

After signing, Xiao Yang looked apologetically at the two beside him.

"Sorry, you two. Thank you for thinking highly of me."

The two waved their hands upon hearing that and said nothing more.

Xiao Yang had already signed the contract, so there was no reason for them to stay.

The two left directly.

Xiao Yang, meanwhile, left together with Chen Jian.

"Tsk, tsk. The supervisor definitely paid out of pocket for a contract of this level."

"If Old Wang had come instead, at most he could have offered you the same terms as Zhao Tianlei."

Hearing this, Xiao Yang looked at Chen Jian gratefully.

"Uncle Chen, thank you."

"If it weren't for you, I couldn't have gotten such a good contract."

Chen Jian waved his hand.

"Your talent is excellent, and you work hard. Otherwise, not just anyone could get these terms."
