Next, with Jiang Nian and Yan Luo watching, Luo Xia tested his speed as well.

Deliberately holding himself back, he only ran at 35 m/s.

But even that was astonishing!

After all, the speed standard for an Intermediate Warrior was only 40 meters per second!

Yan Luo stared at Luo Xia, not knowing what to say.

The Physical Quality and talent Luo Xia had displayed were simply too astounding!

"Brother Jiang! You still haven't recruited geniuses like Luo Feng and Luo Xia into the dojo?" Yan Luo couldn't help asking Jiang Nian beside him.

By recruit, he did not merely mean making Luo Feng and Luo Xia dojo trainees. He meant having them sign with the Limit Martial Arts Dojo and become its Warriors!

Jiang Nian smiled. "I've had that plan for a long time!"

He looked at Luo Feng and Luo Xia and asked, "Luo Feng, Luo Xia, once you officially become Warriors, how about joining our Limit Martial Arts Dojo?"

After a pause, he added:

"As long as you become Warriors of our Limit Martial Arts Dojo, we'll arrange one... no, two homes for you in the best location!"

He held up two fingers. "Two of the finest Detached Villas will be assigned to you! On top of that, you'll receive a base salary of twenty thousand Hua Xia currency every month!"

"Two Detached Villas?" Luo Feng sucked in a breath.

A twenty-thousand base salary was nothing special.

But Detached Villas were extremely precious and luxurious!

The Limit Martial Arts Dojo was actually going to give them two Detached Villas!

This...

Luo Feng couldn't help glancing at his younger brother.

Jiang Nian continued, "Luo Feng, Luo Xia, the benefits offered by our Limit Martial Arts Dojo are actually not much different from joining the country's special departments."

"Join our dojo, and you'll have money, status, everything! You can pursue the limits of humanity and the limits of the Martial Dao without worry!"

As he spoke, Jiang Nian pointed at Yan Luo beside him and said:

"Your Brother Yan killed a monster not long ago and earned nearly a hundred million Earth currency. Converted into our Hua Xia currency, that's over three hundred million! Both of you are extremely talented. In the future, you'll definitely reach Yan Luo's level!"

The Instructor's words were highly stirring.

At least, Luo Feng's blood boiled as he listened, and he set his sights on catching up to Hong and Thunder God!

Jiang Nian looked at Luo Feng and Luo Xia with a smile. "Come to think of it, you Two Brothers took this year's Gaokao, didn't you? Xia in particular—I remember you skipped a grade to take it."

Luo Feng and Luo Xia nodded.

Yan Luo couldn't help asking from the side, "Are you two planning to attend university?"

Luo Feng and Luo Xia both shook their heads. Luo Feng smiled bitterly and said, "Because I fainted in the exam hall, my math score wasn't high enough. My final score fell a few points short of the Undergraduate line, so I can't get into university."

Yan Luo comforted him:

"With your talent, going to university would be a waste. The best years for us Warriors are from sixteen to thirty!

In my opinion, it's better that you didn't get in. You can work hard during this period and prepare to take the Quasi-Warrior assessment at Yangzhou Limit Hall on July 1st!"

Jiang Nian looked at Luo Xia and asked, "What about you, Xia? How were your scores? What are your plans afterward?"

Luo Xia grinned. "I scored 745. But I'm not planning to attend university either. I'm going to take the Quasi-Warrior assessment with my eldest brother."

Jiang Nian and Yan Luo were both surprised when they heard Luo Xia's score. Then, upon learning that he would not attend university, they both felt a complicated mix of regret and relief.

It was regrettable because scoring so highly on the Gaokao and not attending university felt like such a waste.

Yet at the same time, they felt fortunate!

Luo Xia possessed tremendous Martial Dao talent. Perhaps he might even become a War God in the future!

If he really went to university, they would find it far too regrettable.

"You really are a monster, kid!"

Yan Luo couldn't help saying.

Not only was his Martial Dao talent exceptional, he could even become the Gaokao top scholar!

That was absurd!

He practically wasn't human!

Jiang Nian smiled and said:

"On the first of every month, the Limit Hall holds a Quasi-Warrior assessment. There are still more than half a month until July 1st. Prepare yourselves properly, then go take it when the time comes!"

June 28th.

It was a clear, sunny morning.

Luo Feng and Wei Wen were walking toward Yi'an District Third High School. Today was the day they would collect their graduation certificates and university application forms.

"Why didn't Xia come?"

Wei Wen asked.

Luo Feng shook his head with a smile. "He thinks it's too troublesome."

Seeing Wei Wen's puzzled expression, Luo Feng explained:

"Didn't that kid score 745 and become this year's National College Entrance Examination Top Scholar? A whole bunch of TV reporters want to interview him."

"Isn't that a good thing?"

Wei Wen said.

For ordinary people like them, chances to appear on the news were rare. In Wei Wen's eyes, having reporters come to interview him was a good thing.

Why did Luo Xia consider it troublesome?

"What good thing?" Even Luo Feng couldn't help complaining when the reporters were mentioned. "You have no idea. For the sake of interviewing Xia, they nearly tore down my family's Great Door!"

Wei Wen understood. "So Xia was worried he'd run into those reporters again after coming to school?"

"Reporters are only part of it. There are also professors from various universities..."

"What about university professors?"

"Those professors somehow found out that Xia doesn't plan to attend university. They keep trying to persuade him to reconsider and study at their universities."

"Huh? Even professors came to persuade him?"

"Yeah. A few days ago, even our high school principal brought Xia's Homeroom Teacher to our house with a whole pile of gifts. They wanted to persuade Xia to attend university, saying that with such high scores, it would be too much of a waste not to go!"

Hearing that, Wei Wen muttered, "Looks like scoring too well isn't necessarily a good thing either."

As they spoke, the two had already arrived at the school.

"Luo Feng!"

"Luo Feng, I saw on the news that your younger brother scored 745? Is that true?"

"It was on the news. How could it be fake?"

"Luo Feng! Does your younger brother really not want to attend university? Then why did he even take the Gaokao?"

The moment he entered the school, Luo Feng was surrounded by people because he was Luo Xia's eldest brother. All sorts of questions about Luo Xia were hurled at him in rapid succession.

As for the fact that he had fainted in the exam hall, barely anyone cared about that anymore.

Wei Wen was pushed aside. Looking at Luo Feng being "enthusiastically" surrounded by the crowd, he stood there dumbfounded with his mouth open. After a long while, he finally muttered with a wry smile—

"Good thing Xia didn't come..."

Otherwise, the scene would probably have been even more "enthusiastic"!

"Make way..."

Luo Feng put his Warrior-level Physical Quality to use and quickly squeezed out of the crowd. He did not even look for Wei Wen, instead breaking into a run toward his classroom!

When he arrived, Luo Feng had barely stepped into the classroom before he noticed that every student and teacher was staring at him.

"..." Luo Feng.

Expressionless, he walked to his seat and sat down.

"Luo Feng, your younger brother didn't come today?" His deskmate leaned closer and asked in a low voice.

Compared to Luo Xia's towering score of 745, Luo Feng fainting in the exam hall was no longer the focus of everyone's attention.

Luo Feng shook his head. "He didn't."

"Hey, is your younger brother really not going to university? That's 745 points—the Gaokao top scholar!"

Another student asked.

Luo Feng replied blandly, "He isn't. Before long, he'll be taking the Quasi-Warrior assessment with me."

The moment those words came out, the entire classroom fell silent. Then skeptical gazes swept toward him. They knew Luo Feng and Luo Xia were both Advanced Trainees at the dojo, but... could they already take the Quasi-Warrior assessment?

A Warrior...

That was the most exalted existence in modern society!

If they could truly become Warriors, then there really would be no need to attend university.

Amid the complicated looks of suspicion, jealousy, and envy from his classmates, Luo Feng received his high school graduation certificate and university application form.

Looking at the application form in his hand, he muttered to himself, "This thing is useless to me..." Then he tore it up and threw it into the trash. Under his classmates' astonished gazes, he went to the principal's office to collect a graduation certificate for his Third Brother.
