"Once I get a little stronger, I'll have to find a way to get hold of some Vibranium."

Looking at the shield and saber in his hands, Luo Wen pondered.

Weapons and shields made of Kroll Alloy needed to be continually replaced as one's strength increased.

If they were made from Vibranium, he could keep using them all the way to Planetary Level without needing replacements.

Especially the shield. A Vibranium shield's quality was beyond question—Captain America's was the ultimate proof.

"At present, only Wakanda and Talokan have Vibranium mines on Earth, and Wakanda has the largest reserves..."

Luo Wen considered this inwardly.

Although Wakanda was protected by Black Panther and possessed all kinds of advanced technology, to Luo Wen, it was a complete joke.

Their technological level was decent, but the people were garbage. A few simple tactics would be enough to breach them.

As for Talokan, the underwater kingdom founded by Namor, it was equally vulnerable.

He only needed to defeat Namor. The rest were nothing but a rabble.

"I just don't know what grade of metal Vibranium would count as in the world of Swallowed Star."

Luo Wen thought.

Vibranium's strength wasn't limited to its powerful defensive capabilities.

Thanks to its unique molecular structure, Vibranium could be used in all sorts of advanced technologies.

In the movies, Wakanda had developed things like energy barriers through Vibranium.

Luo Wen felt that if Vibranium were placed in the world of Swallowed Star, it would at least rank above B5-grade metal.

As for why he guessed it was only B-grade metal?

Because in Avengers 4, Thanos had chopped Captain America's shield apart.

That proved Vibranium's defense wasn't invincible.

"But no matter what, Vibranium weapons will definitely be enough before Planetary Level."

Luo Wen had not originally intended to seize Vibranium this early.

That was because he had not expected to awaken the talent of a Spiritual Master, nor had he expected his strength to improve so drastically upon his first cultivation of Gene Force.

With the ability to fly and attack from range, along with such a huge improvement in his physical attributes, obtaining Vibranium had become much easier.

Now that he had the ability, was he supposed to let those blacks waste the resources instead?

Thinking about Wakanda's isolationist blacks made Luo Wen want to laugh.

Their technology had developed to such an extent, yet they still had a tribal chieftain system. They even chose their king through duels—and duels held after stripping away the Black Panther's power.

It was truly suffocating.

Just as Luo Wen was considering how to infiltrate Wakanda and seize the Vibranium, the door to the training hall creaked open.

Luo Wen looked up and saw Jiang Nian walking in.

"Luo Wen!"

With a smile on his face, Jiang Nian strode quickly toward him.

"Instructor."

Luo Wen greeted Jiang Nian as well.

As Jiang Nian approached, Luo Wen noticed that he still carried the smell of alcohol. He had probably been drinking with instructors from the other districts at noon.

"Luo Wen, did you really cultivate Gene Force?"

Although Jiang Nian had been drinking, he was not drunk. He still asked in disbelief.

Luo Wen nodded. "Yes, Instructor."

"How long did it take you to sense Cosmic Energy?" Jiang Nian pressed.

Luo Wen hesitated for a moment.

Even Luo Wen himself found it unbelievable that he had sensed Cosmic Energy in just over half an hour.

His talent should have been inferior to Luo Feng's.

Yet Luo Feng had taken four or five hours to sense Cosmic Energy, while he had only taken a little over half an hour. It was extremely strange.

Luo Wen guessed that it might have something to do with his frequent travels through the Spacetime Vortex.

"Three hours."

After thinking it over, Luo Wen answered. He intended to conceal the truth a little; otherwise, it would be too exaggerated and difficult to explain.

"Three hours?"

Jiang Nian's jaw dropped.

As the director of Limit Martial Hall's Yi'an District branch, Jiang Nian was quite knowledgeable, yet he had never heard of anyone sensing Gene Force in such a short time.

One had to know that after becoming a martial artist, one's talent for absorbing Cosmic Energy to cultivate Gene Force determined the speed of one's advancement.

The faster one sensed Cosmic Energy during their first cultivation session, the better their talent was.

Luo Wen's situation signified terrifying talent.

Jiang Nian did not dare imagine just how exceptional Luo Wen's talent had to be for him to sense Cosmic Energy within three hours!

"Quick, Luo Wen, come test your current fist strength!"

Jiang Nian said impatiently.

Luo Wen nodded and walked over to the Fist Strength Testing Machine.

He also wanted to know how much fist strength he currently possessed.

Jiang Nian stared fixedly at Luo Wen and the Fist Strength Testing Machine, his breathing somewhat hurried.

During the earlier meal, the other instructors had kept pouring him drinks, envious, jealous, and resentful that he had picked up a genius like Luo Wen.

Everyone at the table had agreed that Luo Wen might have a chance to enter the Basic Training Camp at the Limit Martial Hall Headquarters in the future.

But now, it seemed they had still underestimated Luo Wen's potential.

Before the Fist Strength Testing Machine, Luo Wen took a deep breath.

He lowered into a horse stance, gathered his strength, and stretched his arm to its limit, allowing him to mobilize his full-body strength to the greatest extent.

Luo Wen's movements were relatively slow.

His strength had only just surged dramatically, so this made it easier to control.

"Buzz!"

Luo Wen threw a punch, tearing through the air and slamming fiercely into the Punching Target. The target immediately buzzed repeatedly, while gusts of wind rolled forth in front of it.

Feeling the waves of wind pressure brush against his cheeks, Jiang Nian's pupils contracted sharply.

As an Advanced Warrior-level martial artist, he knew what this meant.

A Beginner Warrior-level martial artist could absolutely not produce such an effect!

Jiang Nian's heart began beating faster.

He stared wide-eyed at the Fist Strength Testing Machine's screen, wanting to verify his guess.

Sure enough, a row of red numbers made his eyes widen further and further!

"2881 kg"

Looking at that number, Jiang Nian's scalp went numb!

That morning, when Luo Wen had undergone the Quasi-Martial Artist assessment, Jiang Nian had been right beside him. He had personally seen Luo Wen's fist strength test result: 923 kg.

Yet only one afternoon had passed, and Luo Wen's fist strength had reached 2881 kg! That was Intermediate Fighter-Level fist strength!

After cultivating Gene Force for the first time, his fist strength had increased by a full 1958 kg, nearly 2000 kg!

What kind of concept was that?

Even across the entire Jiangnan Base City, there might not be one or two such people in a year!

Most importantly, Luo Wen was only sixteen years old!

At sixteen, his fist strength had already reached 2881 kg. Jiang Nian could not help drawing in a sharp breath. At this level, Luo Wen was already qualified to enter the Elite Training Camp!

Luo Wen possessed the qualifications to enter the Elite Training Camp!

Jiang Nian's mind was completely occupied by that thought.

The way he looked at Luo Wen changed completely.

In his eyes, Luo Wen was no longer a student, but a super genius radiating light—someone who, so long as he did not die young, would most likely become a Wargod.

To Jiang Nian, an Advanced Warrior-level instructor, a Wargod was a lofty mountain beyond reach!

He had never imagined that, within his lifetime, a student with the potential to become a Wargod would appear under his guidance!

Jiang Nian had fallen into complete shock, but Luo Wen was not overly surprised as he looked at the number on the Fist Strength Testing Machine.

When Luo Feng first awakened his Gene Force and Spiritual Master talent, his fist strength had increased by roughly 2000 kg.

His own increase of 1958 kg was within the normal range.
