Jiang Nian's Surprise

"Good!"

A cheer rang out.

The two opponents on the field, drenched in sweat, both lowered their weapons. Their exchange had been nearly even. Although Cao Bing had yet to use his inner strength or the Tongtian Diagram's silver armor, Luo Feng had likewise not used his Psychic Force. It was hard to say who was stronger.

The two exchanged a look, then turned toward the source of the voice.

The director of the Yi'an Branch, Jiang Nian, stood there.

With Jiang Nian's Warrior General level insight, how could he fail to see that these two youngsters had both reached the Intermediate Warrior level?

This already left Jiang Nian utterly stunned. Cao Bing had shocked him once before, but that did not stop him from being shocked again.

"Luo Feng, Cao Bing, you... you've successfully cultivated Gene Primal Energy, haven't you?" Jiang Nian hurried over, his voice trembling slightly as he pressed them.

"Yes. After the Quasi-Warrior assessment, I tried cultivating Gene Primal Energy for the first time. I succeeded that very night." Luo Feng nodded.

Cao Bing added, "I tested it after going home and succeeded that afternoon."

Jiang Nian could not help clapping his fists together as he shouted, "Haha, our Yi'an District Limitless Martial Arts has finally produced true geniuses! And two at once! Their first cultivation of Gene Primal Energy increased their strength by nearly two thousand kilograms! With such tremendous improvement the first time, there might only be one or two geniuses like this in all of Jiangnan City each year!"

Jiang Nian looked at Cao Bing, then Luo Feng, and the more he looked, the more delighted he became.

"Come on! Let's go down and test you!" Saying that, Jiang Nian grabbed them both and headed off. He was so excited he could barely contain himself.

"Bang! 2703 kg!" The number displayed on the machine made Jiang Nian's eyes light up.

Yet before Jiang Nian could celebrate, Luo Feng produced an even higher number—"3108 kg"—nearly making Jiang Nian's jaw drop.

Cao Bing curled his lip. Luo Feng was a freak. Just one awakening of Psychic Force had improved his physical fitness by so much.

Next, the two tested their speed and neural response. Their results were:

Luo Feng. Punching strength: 3108 kg

Speed: 58 m/s

Neural response test: perfect score at the Elementary Warrior level, excellent at the Intermediate Warrior level

Cao Bing. Punching strength: 2703 kg

Speed: 63 m/s

Neural response test: perfect score at the Elementary Warrior level, excellent at the Intermediate Warrior level

Seeing these results, Instructor Jiang Nian nearly laughed so hard his mouth would not close.

"It's settled! Let's see if that brat still dares look down on our Yi'an Branch this time!" Jiang Nian laughed loudly.

Then Jiang Nian patted their shoulders and shouted, "Luo Feng, Cao Bing, your instructor's future Martial Arts contribution points will depend on you two earning them for me!"

The two chuckled.

Cao Bing glanced at Luo Feng and thought, In the future, this guy won't just earn you contribution points. He'll let you spend the rest of your life bragging.

This guy would one day become Earth's savior and guide.

"Luo Feng, Cao Bing, with the progress you've made, Limitless Martial Arts can let you join in advance." Jiang Nian quickly continued. "You won't need to undergo the Martial Artist combat assessment. You can join first."

"Join Limitless Martial Arts in advance?" Luo Feng was somewhat puzzled. Cao Bing, however, already knew about it.

"Luo Feng, Cao Bing, you both came from the Yi'an District Limitless Martial Arts. I can be considered your guide." Instructor Jiang Nian said with a smile, "I won't hide it from you. Luo Feng, your first cultivation of Gene Primal Energy increased your punching strength by more than two thousand kilograms, and your speed and neural response test also improved astonishingly. Your talent can be rated genius-class, or perhaps monster-class.

Cao Bing, although your strength increased by less than two thousand kilograms, it still rose by more than eighteen hundred kilograms. On top of that, with your Micro-level movement technique, your future is limitless.

Don't be fooled by Jiangnan City's population of two hundred million. There may only be one or two monster talents like you each year. That's why Limitless Martial Arts will absolutely move quickly to recruit people like you."

Jiang Nian continued, "Otherwise, once news of you gets out, those families and alliances will all come running to poach you. Limitless Martial Arts can't afford that kind of loss." Jiang Nian said it half-jokingly.

But it was true. With the strength Luo Feng and Cao Bing had displayed, those forces would be willing to offer extremely generous terms.

"Instructor, we won't go to any other faction." Cao Bing said with a grin.

Only an idiot would go elsewhere. A faction with someone like Hong at its helm was several times better than anywhere else.

"What about you, Luo Feng?" Seeing Cao Bing state his position, Jiang Nian turned his gaze to Luo Feng. Seeing that Luo Feng was still considering it, he quickly explained all the benefits Limitless Martial Arts could offer.

These included twenty million in startup funds, a detached villa, free secret manuals worth up to fifty million, and all sorts of other benefits that nearly made Luo Feng's jaw hit the floor.

"Instructor, I agree too." Faced with so many benefits, Luo Feng had no reason to refuse. Before this, his greatest goal had merely been to let his parents live in a large house.

"Good, good!" Naturally, Jiang Nian was overjoyed that both had agreed. He quickly took out his phone to report it.

The process went exceptionally smoothly. After hearing about the two of them, the Jiangnan Headquarters of Limitless Martial Arts immediately issued an order for Jiang Nian to bring them over.

Jiang Nian was so delighted that he even postponed a meeting.

Jiangnan City's main urban district.

It was Cao Bing's first time visiting the main urban district, and he looked around with open curiosity. In comparison, Luo Feng appeared much calmer, though his eyes inevitably examined the differences between the main urban district and Yangzhou City with curiosity as well.

Before long, Cao Bing saw an enormous compound ahead. Beyond its sprawling silver-white walls stood a towering Deep Blue skyscraper. Four enormous characters were emblazoned upon it, clear enough to see from kilometers away: Limitless Martial Arts.

"Damn! Luo Feng, how big do you think this Limitless Martial Arts compound is?" Cao Bing smacked his lips and asked Luo Feng.

"How would I know? It's probably at least the size of twenty football fields!" Luo Feng answered uncertainly.

"Hehe, ten times that! This is the Limitless General Headquarters, our Limitless Martial Arts headquarters in Jiangnan City." Jiang Nian spoke at that moment.

Cao Bing and Luo Feng both sucked in a cold breath.

"See those troops? They're Limitless Martial Arts' internal military force." Jiang Nian said with a smile. "Limitless Martial Arts has the authority to establish its own security force."

After leaving the train, Jiang Nian led the two curious youngsters straight toward the skyscraper that soared into the clouds.

Thanks to Jiang Nian's connections, he easily brought the two inside. The interior of the Limitless Martial Arts Tower was an entirely different sight.

There were small bridges over flowing water, artificial hills, flower gardens, and Martial Artists everywhere. There were not only Warrior level Martial Artists—there were quite a few Warrior General level Martial Artists as well. The sight left the two dazzled.

"Come on, stop staring. You'll have plenty of time to look around later. Don't keep Uncle Bai waiting too long!" Seeing the two entranced, Jiang Nian called out with a smile.
