Thunder Martial Hall's Terms

"Not that many."

Luo Xia answered with a smile, then poured out all the monster ears from his Backpack. They cascaded down like a stream, and in an instant, the metal pot that had just been cleared out was piled full of monster ears!

—And they even overflowed!

"Gasp, how many monsters did he have to kill? The metal pot is completely full!"

"There are ears from Iron-Fur Boars, Tibetan Mastiff Hounds, and Shadow Cats!"

"Is this the gap between a Genius and us? I heard this Luo Xia was also this year's Gaokao Top Scholar!"

Everyone was startled by the monster ears Luo Xia had poured out, and they began discussing it in amazement.

The Officer began counting Luo Xia's monster ears. It took him several minutes before he finished tallying them up. He looked at Luo Xia in astonishment and said:

"You actually killed 121 monsters! And you weren't even injured!"

Luo Xia smiled. "It was all right."

After saying that, he went to one side with his eldest brother, Luo Feng.

When the others learned that Luo Xia had killed more than a hundred monsters, they were all stunned.

"Luo Xia actually killed over a hundred monsters! He must have killed the most monsters in this assessment, right?"

"No one should be able to surpass that!"

"Isn't Wan Dong still here? I saw that his bag was pretty bulging too."

"True. Wan Dong is a Genius in this Combat Assessment who can stand alongside Luo Xia and Luo Feng!"

"Let's see Wan Dong's..."

After seeing Luo Xia's results, everyone instead began looking forward to Wan Dong's score. They wanted to know whether anyone could be as much of a Monster as Luo Xia!

However.

Hearing everyone's discussion, Wan Dong's already gloomy face darkened even further.

He had hunted many monsters too, but he was utterly incapable of comparing with Luo Xia. Luo Xia had killed more than twice as many monsters as he had!

Whenever he thought of that small mountain of monster corpses he had seen earlier, Wan Dong could not even muster the desire to compete with Luo Xia.

The gap between them was simply too great!

Nearby, Luo Xia and Luo Feng were talking. Unlike the other Quasi-Warriors, they were not concerned about Wan Dong.

"Eldest brother, we've finally become Warriors!"

"Yeah. Once Parents and Ah Hua find out, they'll definitely be thrilled!"

The Two Brothers chatted happily, their faces full of smiles.

At that moment, a bearded Officer suddenly walked over and said to Luo Xia, "Luo Xia, come with me. A friend wants to see you. He's in the lounge ahead."

Luo Xia looked puzzled.

Who wanted to see me at a time like this...

As he pondered this, he saw that the bearded Officer wore an expression that allowed no refusal. He said to Luo Feng beside him, "Eldest brother, I'll go over there with this Officer."

"Okay." Luo Feng nodded and reminded him, "But wash yourself up first. You're covered in blood."

Luo Xia looked at the bearded Officer. "Is that all right?"

The bearded Officer nodded. "No problem. We have plenty of time anyway."

Thus, before going to the lounge, Luo Xia first rinsed himself off and changed into clean clothes. Only then did he enter the lounge with the bearded Officer.

Upon entering the lounge, Luo Xia saw a Burly Man sitting on the sofa with his eyes closed.

Hearing Luo Xia enter, the man abruptly opened his eyes. It was as though flashes of lightning shot from them toward Luo Xia.

"Someone from Thunder Martial Hall."

Luo Xia saw the Thunder Martial Hall insignia on the other man's body and muttered to himself. What did Thunder Martial Hall want with him?

Could they be planning to recruit him, just as they had recruited his eldest brother Luo Feng in the Original Work?

"My name is Wang Heng, a supervisor at Thunder General Hall."

The Burly Man grinned at Luo Xia and gestured with one hand. "Luo Xia, have a seat."

Luo Xia raised his brows slightly, sat on the sofa opposite the Burly Man, and asked:

"Mr. Wang, what did you want to see me about?"

Wang Heng did not beat around the bush and went straight to the point.

"I saw the footage of you fighting monsters last night. I think you're very talented! I admire you greatly, so I formally invite you to join our Thunder Martial Hall!"

Sure enough, they were recruiting him.

Luo Xia shook his head and looked at Wang Heng. "Thank you very much for your high regard, but I've already signed a contract with Limit Martial Arts Dojo."

Wang Heng said indifferently:

"You've only signed a contract. It's not as if you can't breach it! Our Thunder Martial Hall will pay your penalty fee!"

"According to the rules, the maximum penalty fee cannot exceed three hundred million. I believe your value far exceeds that amount!"

"Once you join our Thunder Martial Hall, I'll arrange a Special Training Contract from our Global Headquarters for you!"

At this point, Wang Heng smiled at Luo Xia and said, "You should know that fewer than ten Warriors worldwide receive this Special Training Contract every year! Every one of them is an absolute top-tier Genius!"

After a pause, as though to make his words more persuasive, Wang Heng continued:

"Over the first half of this year, our Thunder Martial Hall has only issued three Special Training Contracts. One went to a twenty-year-old Advanced Warrior from the European Union."

"Another went to a Genius from South America. He was a Spiritual Psychic! The third went to a sixteen-year-old Intermediate Warrior from Jinghua Base City, the capital of Huaxia!"

He looked at Luo Xia with fervent eyes. "You would be the fourth!"

Luo Xia was slightly surprised when he heard about that sixteen-year-old Intermediate Warrior.

Sure enough, freaks were everywhere. Besides himself, there was actually someone else who had become a Warrior at sixteen!

"As long as you join our Thunder Martial Hall, I'll give you such a Special Training Contract and send you to Thunder Martial Hall's Global Headquarters for training. By then, you might even receive personal guidance from the Thunder God!"

"Luo Xia, our Thunder Martial Hall is offering you this invitation with utmost sincerity. Join Thunder Martial Hall!"

Wang Heng had pushed the terms he could offer to their limit. He looked at Luo Xia expectantly.

Luo Xia looked back at Wang Heng. If he had not already signed a contract with Limit Martial Arts Dojo, he might truly have agreed to Wang Heng's offer at this moment.

After all, the terms offered by Thunder Martial Hall were genuinely excellent.

But...

"I'm sorry, but I've already joined Limit Martial Arts Dojo and have no intention of breaching my contract. I'm very grateful for Thunder Martial Hall's regard."

Wang Heng froze.

He had refused?

He had refused such excellent terms?

"Won't you think it over carefully? There's no need to rush into a decision..." Wang Heng said, frowning at Luo Xia.

"There's no need."

Luo Xia stood and gave Wang Heng a slight bow. "Mr. Wang, if there's nothing else, please allow me to take my leave."

Wang Heng studied Luo Xia carefully.

Faced with such a great temptation from him, this young man had remained completely unmoved. This youngster really had something.

With a sigh in his heart, Wang Heng knew that Thunder Martial Hall and Luo Xia were not meant to be. He waved his hand and said:

"Since that's the case, I won't try to persuade you further. If you ever change your mind, Thunder Martial Hall's Great Door will always be open to you!"

"Thank you, Mr. Wang."

Luo Xia smiled, bowed to Wang Heng once more, then withdrew from the lounge.
