A Happy Family

Luo Xia returned to the area designated by the Military Region for all Quasi-Warriors to rest and found Luo Feng, who had already changed clothes.

"Eldest brother."

"Xia."

Luo Feng had been talking with Yang Wu. Hearing Luo Xia call out, he turned around and asked, "How did it go? Who was looking for you just now?"

Luo Xia answered with a smile, "A supervisor from the Thunder General Hall."

"A supervisor from the Thunder General Hall?!" Yang Wu asked in surprise. "What did he want with you?"

"He wanted me to switch over to the Thunder Martial Hall." Luo Xia spread his hands as he spoke.

Luo Feng froze, then hurriedly asked, "Did you agree?"

"No. We've already signed contracts with the Limit Martial Arts Dojo. How could I agree to them?" Luo Xia said.

Luo Feng let out a breath of relief and said in the tone of an eldest brother, "That's right, Xia. We can't be the kind of people who go back on our word."

"I know, eldest brother." Luo Xia nodded with a smile.

Luo Feng smiled. "Mm. We still haven't told our parents that we passed the Warrior Assessment. Let's call home."

Yang Wu, standing nearby, also smiled. "That's right, we need to tell our families. You two make your calls—I'm going to make one too."

With that, he left.

Meanwhile, Luo Xia had already taken out his phone and dialed home.

Jiangnan Base City, Yangzhou City.

Bright Moon District.

Luo Hongguo was playing Chinese chess beneath a large tree in the district with several elderly men. Not far away, Gong Xinlan was chatting with a group of women while cracking sunflower seeds.

As for Luo Hua, he was miserably doing his summer homework at home.

Smack!

An old man picked up a cannon from the board and captured one of his opponent's pawns. He then asked Luo Hongguo, who was watching from the side:

"Hongguo, if I remember correctly, your two sons went to take the Warrior Combat Assessment yesterday, right?"

Luo Hongguo nodded. "Old Wang, that was a bad move. If you capture with your cannon like that, won't his horse take you out?"

Only then did he answer the old man's question. "They went yesterday."

"Aren't you worried?"

Another old man followed Luo Hongguo's advice and captured the opposing cannon before asking Luo Hongguo.

"How could I not be worried? Their mother barely slept last night. She kept talking to me all night because she was worried about those two boys."

Luo Hongguo sighed as he spoke, his expression somewhat anxious.

"Isn't that why I came out to watch you all play chess? To distract myself a little. I wonder how those two boys are doing..."

Suddenly—

A cheerful ringtone rang out.

Luo Hongguo paused, then hurriedly pulled out his phone. When he saw that the caller was his youngest son, delight immediately filled his face. He said to the two old men playing chess:

"It's my youngest son!"

The two old men stopped playing as well and called out to Luo Hongguo, "Then hurry up and answer it!"

Luo Hongguo quickly picked up. "Hello, son?"

"Dad, eldest brother and I passed the Warrior Combat Assessment! We'll be home tonight. Where's Mom? Tell her to prepare something delicious!"

Luo Xia said with a laugh over the phone.

Hearing that, Luo Hongguo immediately broke into a wide grin. "Good, good, good! I understand! I'll have your mother prepare something tasty! Be careful on your way back!"

As he spoke, he raised the phone and shouted toward Gong Xinlan in the distance:

"Dear! Our sons passed the Warrior Combat Assessment! Hurry to the market and buy something delicious! Make them a feast tonight!"

Gong Xinlan had been chatting about gossip with the other women to distract herself. Upon hearing her husband's words, she first froze, then stood up joyfully and replied:

"I got it!"

Then she smiled at the other women. "Oh, I can't chat with you anymore. My sons passed their assessment, so I have to go home and cook!"

"Alright, alright, Xinlan, go ahead!"

"Xinlan is so fortunate! She raised three children, and two of them actually became Warriors!"

"Xinlan, your children are really impressive! I'm telling you, there's a girl in the district who would be perfect for your Luo Feng! When I have time someday, I'll introduce her!"

The other women all spoke with smiles.

Gong Xinlan left the group smiling so broadly that she felt as if she were floating.

That evening, Luo Xia and Luo Feng returned to the district.

"Luo Feng and Luo Xia are back! Congratulations!"

"Congratulations, congratulations! When are you coming to my place for dinner?"

"I knew the Warrior Combat Assessment wouldn't be difficult for you two!"

As they walked through the district, everyone they met congratulated Luo Feng and Luo Xia. Because of the phone call that morning, practically everyone in the district already knew that they had passed the Combat Assessment.

"Dad, Mom!"

Before long, the Two Brothers saw their Parents and Luo Hua waiting at the entrance to their home.

"You're back!"

Luo Hongguo beamed, looking especially happy. "Your mother has already finished cooking! There's Braised Pork, your favorite!"

That night, the family shared a happy meal.

After helping their mother clear the table, Luo Feng said to Luo Xia:

"Xia, come with me to the audiovisual room on the second floor. The Instructor sent me a message at noon saying that now that we're official Warriors, we can access the Limit Martial Arts Dojo's internal Warrior network."

Luo Xia nodded and said to his Parents and Luo Hua, who were watching television, "Dad, Mom, Second Brother, eldest brother and I are going upstairs first!"

"Go on, go on. Don't mind us."

Luo Hongguo said with a smile.

Luo Xia followed Luo Feng upstairs and sat on the sofa in the audiovisual room. As Luo Feng entered the Limit Home website address through the keyboard, a fingerprint verification screen appeared on the enormous display.

Beep—

Luo Feng and Luo Xia each extended a hand for fingerprint verification.

The next second, beautiful music flowed from the premium speakers, like a gentle stream running through the audiovisual room. At the same time, Luo Feng and Luo Xia's information profiles appeared on the screen.

Warrior Certificate Number: 426123205810010004

Level: Warrior (Beginner)

Contribution Points: 0 points

Because Luo Xia did not want a villa and had it converted into startup funds, he had fifty million more than his eldest brother, Luo Feng.

In the quiet audiovisual room, Luo Xia made two cups of tea. The Two Brothers held the steaming cups as they looked at the information on the screen.

"I have twenty million, and you have seventy million. It looks like the startup funds promised by the Limit Martial Arts Dojo have already arrived."

Luo Feng said with a smile.

"Eldest brother, you have a new email."

Luo Xia noticed a message notification at the top of Luo Feng's webpage and reminded him.

Luo Feng tapped with his finger and opened the mailbox.

Immediately, the first email opened, and a video appeared on the screen.

"Hello, Mr. Luo Feng."

The man in the black suit on the screen smiled as he said:

"I am Assistant to Supervisor Zhuge. I believe you have already seen the twenty million in startup funds promised by the supervisor. As for the funds for purchasing Movement Technique, Blade Art, and Guidance Technique manuals..."

"You may purchase them directly through the internal network, as long as the price does not exceed one hundred million. The internal network will reimburse you directly, and not a single cent will be deducted from you."

"If the value exceeds one hundred million, Mr. Luo Feng, you will need to pay the excess yourself. On behalf of the supervisor, I would also like to congratulate you on completing the Warrior Combat Assessment."

Luo Xia opened his own mailbox beside him and discovered that he had received an identical email as well.
