Perfect Physique, Shock Among the Martial Hall Members

Using his reflection in the water mirror, Luo Wen examined the changes in himself.

He found that the skin all over his body had become smoother and tougher, almost without a single flaw. The pimples, scars, black moles, red moles, and so on that had once covered his body had all disappeared.

This raised both his looks and temperament by several notches.

His muscles had also become more evenly proportioned.

His six-pack had become an eight-pack.

His Adonis belt looked as though it had been carved with a blade.

There was not a trace of excess flesh on his arms. Even without flexing, the sharply chiseled lines of his muscles were clearly visible.

Those muscle lines made him look brimming with strength and masculine vigor.

Even the most professional fitness experts would not have been able to replicate the shape of his muscles at that moment.

In terms of physique, he had already reached the peak of perfection.

Moreover, Luo Wen discovered that both his bone density and muscle density had increased.

He now weighed roughly 150 kilograms!

From this moment on, he could truly be called a superhuman.

After showering, Luo Wen got dressed and immediately headed to Limit Martial Hall.

It was already past six, and most of the students had begun leaving the martial hall.

Going against the flow of people, Luo Wen arrived at the Advanced Student Building.

Only three or four people remained on the third floor.

After greeting them, Luo Wen headed straight for the fourth floor.

Seeing Luo Wen actually head to the fourth floor, the Advanced Students who had yet to leave all widened their eyes and froze where they stood.

"The fourth floor... Luo Wen passed the Quasi-Martial Artist assessment?"

They immediately realized what it meant, shocked and excited.

The fourth floor of Limit Martial Hall was open only to martial artists. Ordinary students were forbidden from going up there.

Luo Wen going up to the fourth floor meant that he had already become a martial artist.

"My God, he actually passed the Quasi-Martial Artist assessment! He's only sixteen!"

"That's insane!"

"Damn, I feel like I've wasted my entire life."

After coming to their senses, the Advanced Students who had remained behind all exclaimed in shock and wailed.

When Luo Wen reached the fourth floor, he found a small room by the stairway, where an old man was sitting and reading a newspaper.

Hearing the sound, the old man immediately looked up.

"Young man, only coaches and instructors are allowed on the fourth floor. You should go back down."

The old man stood up and spoke to Luo Wen.

"Uncle Li, I just passed the Quasi-Martial Artist assessment. I should have the authority to enter as well."

Luo Wen walked up to the small room and said with a smile.

"Oh? You passed the Quasi-Martial Artist assessment?"

The old man gave Luo Wen a surprised look, somewhat unable to believe it.

Luo Wen looked very young, no more than twenty at most.

But he also felt that a martial hall student would not dare make such a joke.

"Yes, my name is Luo Wen. You can call Coach Jiang Nian—he knows about it."

Luo Wen said with a smile.

"Alright, wait a moment. I'll call the director to confirm."

Uncle Li nodded and immediately called Jiang Nian.

"Hello, Director. There's a young man named Luo Wen who wants to go to the fourth floor. He says he passed the Quasi-Martial Artist assessment..."

"Oh, he passed? Alright, then I'll let him in."

"What? You want me to give him the phone? Alright."

After saying a few words, Uncle Li walked over and handed the phone to Luo Wen.

Luo Wen took the phone.

"Hello, Director."

"Luo Wen, did you come to the fourth floor to test your physical data?"

Jiang Nian's voice immediately came through the phone.

"Yes," Luo Wen answered truthfully.

"You cultivated Gene Force?" Jiang Nian's voice immediately became excited.

Luo Wen had only undergone the Quasi-Martial Artist assessment that morning, and all his physical data had been clearly recorded. Yet he had come to the Martial Arts Hall for another test that evening. Jiang Nian immediately realized that something unusual was going on.

In his view, Luo Wen would only do this if he had cultivated Gene Force and seen a massive increase in his physical fitness.

"Mm, yes. I just cultivated Gene Force, and my physical fitness has improved quite a bit, so I wanted to come test it."

Luo Wen did not hide it either. Jiang Nian would find out sooner or later anyway, so there was no need to lie.

"My god, you sensed Cosmic Energy in a single day?"

Jiang Nian found it hard to believe.

Back when he had passed the Quasi-Martial Artist assessment, it had taken him an entire month to sense Cosmic Energy and cultivate Gene Force.

"Wait for me on the fourth floor. I'll be right there!"

In his excitement, Jiang Nian threw out those words before hanging up.

Listening to the busy tone on the phone, Luo Wen did not know whether to laugh or cry.

"Uncle Li, can I go in now?"

Luo Wen handed his phone back to the old man and asked.

"Yes, yes."

The old man beamed and answered very politely.

He even thoughtfully opened the doors to the Fourth Floor Martial Arts Hall for Luo Wen.

Luo Wen entered the Fourth Floor Martial Arts Hall and found that its decor was clearly much better than the floors below. The various training equipment was high-end as well.

However, the place was empty at the moment. He was the only one there.

Luo Wen's attention was first drawn to the Weaponry Room beside him.

So, rather than rushing to test his punching strength and speed, he headed into the Weaponry Room.

The moment he entered, the dazzling array of weapons nearly overwhelmed Luo Wen's eyes.

There were sabers, spears, swords, halberds—everything. There were even bows and arrows.

Luo Wen drew the battle blade at the very front and found it silver-black throughout, with a blood-red strip running down its center and a handguard on its hilt.

"This is Luo Feng's favorite Bloodshadow Battle Blade series."

Luo Wen weighed it in his hand a few times, then swung it a few times, finding it effortless.

He checked the marking on the spine of the blade: Bloodshadow No. 2, weight 102 kg.

Seeing that label, Luo Wen was slightly startled.

"I don't even find swinging such a heavy blade strenuous now?"

Luo Wen unconsciously spun the blade in a flourish again. It truly felt smooth in his hand, without the slightest sense of sluggishness.

He could swing a 204-jin battle blade without any effort.

This meant that his current physical fitness had to be absurdly high.

After playing with the Bloodshadow Battle Blade for a while, Luo Wen put it back.

The blade was practical, but it did not suit his aesthetic tastes.

With a thought from Luo Wen, all the weapons in the Weaponry floated into the air, slowly revolving around him.

Luo Wen examined the appearance of each weapon one by one.

From the force fed back through his Spiritual Power, he could distinguish the weapons' weights.

In the end, Luo Wen still chose the classic Dragonscale Broadsword series.

Among bladed weapons, this model's sales were second only to the Bloodshadow Battle Blade. Both its appearance and practicality were excellent.

Luo Wen gripped the Dragonscale Broadsword and swung it in several slashes, finding it even more natural to use than the Bloodshadow Battle Blade.

"I'll buy battle blades from this series from now on."

Luo Wen nodded in satisfaction.

Next, Luo Wen chose a shield as well.

A Spiritual Master could control objects to fly.

Using Spiritual Power to move a shield and standing on it while flying was the best option.

After all, a shield distributed force evenly and provided stable footing. It could also be used to block attacks in battle.

However, Luo Wen did not choose the Hexagonal Shield that Luo Feng liked. Instead, he chose the more portable Pentagonal Shield.

As for why he did not choose a round shield?

Obviously, it was to distinguish himself from Captain America...
