Limit Martial Hall, Trainee Assessment

"Kroll Alloy? I can get it. I know a supervisor from the HR Alliance in Yi'an District. He has an allocation of Kroll Alloy."

Zhou Huayang added, "What grade of Kroll Alloy do you want? How much?"

Luo Wen thought for a moment. "I currently need Level 3 Kroll Alloy, about ten kilograms. But later on, I may purchase large quantities of Kroll Alloy of various grades. If you have the right connections, Brother Zhou, could you introduce me to them?"

"Ten kilograms of Level 3 Kroll Alloy is easy. It'll only cost 400,000 Chinese Yuan. I can have someone deliver it right away."

"400,000? Fine. Then I'll have to trouble you, Brother Zhou. I need it now."

Luo Wen nodded, feeling that the price was not expensive.

When Luo Feng had first browsed the Limit Mall, an A3-model Bloodshadow Battle Blade had cost 1.2 million Chinese Yuan at full price.

A B3-model shield cost half as much as the battle blade—600,000 Chinese Yuan.

Now, a full ten kilograms of Level 3 Kroll Alloy only cost him 400,000 Chinese Yuan. The price truly was not high.

"Hey, it's nothing. What's there to trouble me over?"

Zhou Huayang smiled and waved his hand, immediately pulling out his phone to make a call.

After Zhou Huayang finished the call, Luo Wen discussed their future cooperation with him for a while. About twenty minutes later, a steady-looking middle-aged man knocked and entered, placing a silver briefcase on the coffee table.

The man was taciturn and said little. He directly opened the briefcase.

Luo Wen looked inside and saw a gray-black rectangular block of metal lying quietly in the center of the case.

It was roughly the size of two bricks.

A line of numbers was marked on it: A3, 10 kg.

"Inspect the goods. If there's no problem, sign here."

Only then did the middle-aged man speak.

Luo Wen glanced at Zhou Huayang.

Zhou Huayang stepped forward, inspecting and feeling the piece of Kroll Alloy carefully.

"No problem."

After saying that, Zhou Huayang signed the form the middle-aged man handed over.

The middle-aged man took the signed form and immediately turned to leave the private room.

"Brother Luo Wen, I've checked the goods. There's no problem."

Zhou Huayang told Luo Wen.

Luo Wen nodded.

It was not impossible that Zhou Huayang was deceiving him.

But he felt the possibility was low.

If Zhou Huayang was truly stupid enough to cheat him, then he would never let Zhou Huayang in on the grain business.

"Alright, here's 400,000. I still have things to do, so I'll be leaving first. See you tomorrow."

Luo Wen took 400,000 Chinese Yuan from the 600,000 in his bag and handed it to Zhou Huayang. Then he closed the silver briefcase and rose to his feet.

"Okay, see you tomorrow!" Zhou Huayang stood as well, his face full of smiles.

With the silver briefcase in one hand and a black travel bag in the other, Luo Wen walked out of Golden Ocean KTV.

Once outside Golden Ocean KTV, Luo Wen checked the time. It was already nearly five o'clock.

So he headed toward the Limit Martial Hall.

After walking for about ten minutes, he spotted a majestic building in the distance.

It occupied more land than an entire high school. Its main entrance was wide enough for ten sedans to enter side by side, while three enormous silver-white buildings stood within the grounds, shaped like three spaceships.

There was no need to think about it. This had to be the Limit Martial Hall.

When Luo Wen reached the main entrance, he found that everyone else was swiping trainee cards to enter.

He did not have a trainee card, so he could only walk over to the guard booth.

"Sir, I'm here to apply for a trainee card. May I go in?"

The guard looked Luo Wen over upon hearing this. Seeing that he was tall, young, and handsome, he nodded. "Show me your ID card, and I'll open the gate for you."

Luo Wen took out the ID card Zhou Huayang had just given him from inside his jacket.

The guard gave it a look. The photo matched, and the birth date was 2039—meaning he had just turned sixteen this year.

"Alright, no problem."

The guard did not waste words. He simply swiped his card and opened the access gate for Luo Wen.

The Limit Martial Hall was open free of charge to citizens between the ages of sixteen and thirty. Every year, many sixteen-year-old students came to register as new trainees, so to him, Luo Wen was no different from the other young students.

Luo Wen entered the grounds of the Limit Martial Hall without issue.

There were quite a few trainees on the paths and lawns.

All of them wore student badges on their chests. Some were Elementary Students, some were Intermediate Students, but Advanced Students were few.

After walking a few steps, Luo Wen spotted three buildings.

He knew that these three buildings were the Elementary Student Building, the Intermediate Student Building, and the Advanced Student Building.

After giving it some thought, Luo Wen headed toward the building in the middle. This was the Intermediate Student Building.

The moment Luo Wen reached the entrance, he was stopped by a beautiful woman in uniform.

"Hello, please show me your student badge."

The uniformed young woman was very polite. She gave a slight bow and spoke with a sweet smile.

Luo Wen smiled. "I don't have a student badge yet. I'm here to register today."

"Is this your first time visiting our Limit Martial Hall?"

The uniformed young woman maintained her smile.

"Yes."

"The Elementary Student Building is on the left. You can register for an Elementary Student badge over there."

"No, I want to register for an Intermediate Student badge."

"Ah?" The uniformed young woman looked surprised.

But after looking Luo Wen over, she saw that he was tall and straight-backed, with handsome features. His facial features and pupils even carried a slight hint of Western ancestry.

She seemed to understand. He was probably a wealthy young man with prior training, whose strength had already been tested at home.

"Alright, then please come with me. I'll take you to the testing staff."

"Mm."

Luo Wen nodded and followed the uniformed young woman into the building.

After storing his suitcase in a locker, the uniformed young woman took Luo Wen up to the third floor by escalator.

Luo Wen looked around curiously and discovered that the first and second floors were both large lecture halls, each capable of holding several thousand people.

The third floor, meanwhile, was a vast martial arts hall, a full hundred meters in both length and width. At the moment, dozens of students were training inside, while several instructors guided them.

The uniformed young woman led Luo Wen over to a middle-aged, long-haired man dressed in an instructor's uniform.

This long-haired middle-aged man had a sharp, capable aura and stood around 1.8 meters tall. There were also three beast claw scars beneath his right eye. One look was enough to tell that he was the real deal.

"Instructor Wu, this student is here to register for an Intermediate Student badge. Could I trouble you to conduct his test?"

"Oh? Your first time here?"

The long-haired instructor surnamed Wu glanced at Luo Wen. Seeing that there was no Elementary Student badge on his chest, surprise immediately appeared on his face.

"Yes, Instructor Wu. I just turned sixteen this year, and this is my first time at the martial hall."

Luo Wen said.

"Confident you can pass?"

Instructor Wu did not waste words and asked directly.

Luo Wen nodded.

A trace of curiosity appeared on Instructor Wu's face.

Students who registered for an Intermediate Student badge the moment they arrived at Limit Martial Hall were rare.

Over the past three years, there had only been one—Luo Feng.

Luo Feng was highly gifted and had advanced to the Advanced Student area a month ago.

Instructor Wu had even guided Luo Feng for a while.

This young man was only sixteen. If he could truly pass the Intermediate Student test, perhaps his talent would not be inferior to Luo Feng's.

"Come on. I'll take you to the test."

Instructor Wu led Luo Wen toward a corner of the martial arts hall, where there was a Fist Strength Testing Machine.
