After speaking with his parents, Luo Xia returned to his room.

There were many rooms in this standalone little villa, so the three brothers each had a room of their own.

After returning to his room, Luo Xia began making moves online, carrying out various investments, buying and selling. Before long, the account linked to him had gained more than a million Hua Xia currency.

Meanwhile, Luo Feng and Luo Hua continued studying and reviewing.

Until Evening.

Luo Feng glanced up at the clock hanging on the living room wall. Seeing that it was almost six in the evening, he stood and said to Luo Hongguo and Gong Xinlan:

"Dad, Mom, it's getting late. I'm going to work as a private tutor."

"Mm, go on. Be careful on the road."

Gong Xinlan reminded him as she watched Luo Feng leave the house.

After Luo Feng walked out, Luo Xia heard the movement and stuck his head out of his bedroom window, calling down to Luo Feng below:

"Eldest brother, I won't wait for you later. I'll head straight to the Wuguan!"

Luo Feng looked up at him and nodded. "Alright, you go first! I'll come after I finish tutoring!"

Limit Martial Arts Dojo.

This was the universally acknowledged largest martial arts dojo on Earth, founded by Hong, the World's Number One Expert.

Limit Martial Arts Dojo branches could be found all over the world.

Luo Xia arrived at the main entrance of the dojo, took his trainee ID from his pocket, and scanned it. Once the small gate before him opened, he stepped into this massive behemoth.

The Limit Martial Arts Dojo was enormous, covering a vast area. It was even larger than some universities from before the Great Nirvana Period. Under the lingering glow of the setting sun, it resembled a gigantic monster crouching here.

Inside the dojo stood three giant silver-white buildings, shaped like three Spaceships.

These three buildings were the teaching buildings for beginner, intermediate, and Advanced Trainees respectively.

"Senior disciple brother!"

"Hello, senior disciple brother!"

"Senior disciple brother, you're here!"

As he walked along the paths within the dojo grounds, Luo Xia encountered many trainees.

Most of these trainees were older than Luo Xia.

However, because he was an Advanced Trainee, these beginner and intermediate trainees all had to address him as senior disciple brother.

Luo Xia casually entered the third floor of the Advanced Trainee Teaching Building.

This was a large Training Hall over a hundred meters long and wide. When he entered, more than a dozen people were training inside.

At this time of day, most Advanced Trainees who came to train at the dojo were from families that were not particularly well-off.

After all, wealthy people built Training Rooms in their own homes.

"Monster!"

"Madman's Monster younger brother is here!"

The moment Luo Xia entered the large Training Hall, he received enthusiastic greetings.

"Brother Li, Brother Yang, Sister Hua."

He smiled in response.

Yang Wu, whom Luo Xia called Brother Yang, saw that Luo Xia had come alone and asked somewhat curiously, "Where's your Madman brother?"

Not long ago, Luo Feng had flown into a rage and consecutively defeated three Advanced Trainees from wealthy families at the dojo, so Yang Wu and the others had given him the nickname Madman.

And because Luo Xia's talent was so exceptional that he had become an Advanced Trainee at sixteen, they called him Monster.

Luo Xia smiled and replied, "My brother went to work as a private tutor. He won't be here for a while."

He exchanged pleasantries with Yang Wu for a moment, then walked to one side of the Training Hall, where a Punching Power Tester stood.

Luo Xia planned to test his Punch Force.

"The Punch Force standard for an Advanced Warrior is 4,000 kilograms. Last time I tested it, I barely reached 4,008 kilograms. After a month of cultivation, I wonder how much it's improved."

Muttering to himself, Luo Xia slowly took a deep breath. As he breathed, the Muscles throughout his body continuously adjusted themselves into their optimal state.

The next moment, his entire body moved like a languid tiger suddenly springing into action. He pushed off with his feet, his body taut as a bowstring, and his fist tore through the air with a piercing howl before striking the Punching Target of the Punching Power Tester with an explosive bang.

The Punching Target shook violently.

At the same time, a number appeared on the Punching Power Tester's screen—

4115kg.

Hearing the commotion from nearby, Yang Wu cried out in surprise, "Xia, did your Punch Force break through again? That was quite a racket!"

When Luo Xia threw that punch just now, no one had been nearby, so nobody knew that he had produced the terrifying figure of 4,115 kilograms.

Hearing Yang Wu's shout, Luo Xia smiled. He focused again and threw another punch at the Punching Target. This time, he held back a great deal of strength, and the screen ultimately displayed only 945kg.

Yang Wu had already walked over by then. When he saw the number displayed on the screen, an extremely astonished expression appeared on his scarred face.

"Xia! Your Punch Force has already broken through 900 kilograms?!"

His voice drew everyone else's attention. They gathered around one after another, all shocked when they saw the number on the screen.

"Worthy of a Monster!"

"If I remember correctly, three months ago, you could only produce 855 kilograms of Punch Force, right?"

"In less than three months, you raised your Punch Force to 945 kilograms. Xia, you really are a Monster!"

"Could our dojo be about to produce the youngest Warrior ever?!"

Everyone clustered around Luo Xia, continuously voicing their amazement and excitement.

Yang Wu even patted Luo Xia on the shoulder rather excitedly and declared loudly:

"Good kid! Your talent is unbelievable! You're even more incredible than those rich kids born with all kinds of Cultivation Resources! As expected, names can be wrong, but nicknames never are! You really are a Monster!"

Luo Xia could only smile at that and say, "You brothers and sisters flatter me. I still need to keep working hard."

"If you work any harder, you'll probably fly into the sky!"

An Elder Sister shouted with a laugh.

Everyone burst into laughter.

After chatting around Luo Xia for a while, everyone dispersed and continued cultivating.

Perhaps stimulated by Luo Xia, everyone trained even harder after returning to their cultivation.

Luo Xia did not continue testing his speed either. The speed threshold for an Advanced Warrior was sixty meters per second.

He should have met the standard.

If he kept testing, someone would definitely see it. Then he would be unable to conceal his true strength.

Luo Xia began cultivating as well.

Standing alone to one side, he began performing a series of movements. They all looked strange, somewhat like certain movements from Ancient Yoga, yet also somewhat different, because Luo Xia's movements were more in line with human biomechanics.

These were warm-up movements Luo Xia had comprehended from Ancient Yoga and Huaxia Ancient Martial Arts.

He performed eighteen strange movements in succession, warming up all the Muscles and Bones in his body before beginning his formal cultivation.

The movements he trained next were also a Body Forging Technique he had comprehended from various ancient texts and Warrior videos.

This set of Body Forging Technique consisted of thirty-two movements. Each one was extraordinarily difficult for an ordinary person to perform.

Even Luo Xia, its creator, found completing these movements extremely strenuous!

Of course, the Body Forging Technique he had comprehended and created was also exceptionally powerful. Otherwise, there was no way he could possess the strength of an Advanced Warrior at the young age of sixteen!

With every movement, the cells in Luo Xia's body slowly yet steadily absorbed the surrounding Cosmic Energy. They continuously evolved and strengthened, improving his overall physique.

"Heaven and earth are the furnace; all things are copper."

This ancient saying was the core of the Body Forging Technique Luo Xia had comprehended. He treated himself as a piece of steel, a copper ingot, interacting with heaven and earth as he underwent tempering.
