Luo Yuan walked into the Martial Arts Hall on the second floor of the Limitless Martial Hall and saw hundreds of people training inside. His eyes lit up at the attribute bubbles falling from these warriors. Most were orange, a color he had never seen before. They were probably higher-grade attribute bubbles than the white and red ones.

He went inside and touched the attribute bubbles.

Strength +3. Strength +3. Speed +3. Speed +3. Defense +3. Defense +3. Neural reflexes +3. Neural reflexes +3.

They really were higher-grade attribute bubbles. Delighted, Luo Yuan began running around, storing them in his Attribute Space.

To avoid trouble, Luo Yuan only displayed the speed of a Beginner Warrior, since almost everyone training on the second floor was at that level. The others assumed he was practicing his movement technique and left him alone. Besides, none of them knew him, so they took him for a newly qualified warrior.

After collecting attributes on the second floor for two hours, Luo Yuan noticed that these Beginner Warriors were barely dropping any more attribute bubbles. He hurried up to the third floor, then the fourth, collecting attributes all the way to the ninth. He discovered that the higher the floor, the fewer people there were, but the stronger the warriors became.

The second through fourth floors were training areas for Beginner Warriors, the fifth through seventh were for Intermediate Warriors, and the eighth and ninth were for Advanced Warriors. When Luo Yuan reached the ninth-floor Martial Arts Hall, he found only thirty-odd people there. He thought nothing of it and immediately began running at high speed.

In fact, the ninth-floor Martial Arts Hall was the training area for the very best Advanced Warriors, each strong enough to break through to the War General Level. Luo Yuan's speed was nothing special in their eyes, but his micro-level evasive movement technique caught their attention.

"Well, well, where did this genius come from? He looks so young, yet he already has the speed of an Advanced Warrior. And his movement technique must be at the micro level. Plenty of War General Level warriors haven't reached that standard, have they? The younger generation really is overtaking the old," a heavily bearded middle-aged warrior suddenly remarked, staring at Luo Yuan in disbelief.

"No idea. Never seen him before. He's probably a newly promoted Advanced Warrior, but why haven't we heard of him?" replied a muscular, short-haired middle-aged female warrior beside the bearded man.

After running a few laps and collecting all the attributes, Luo Yuan stopped, only to discover that everyone was looking at him. He felt a little awkward. Why had they all stopped training? If they didn't train, how was he supposed to collect attributes?

"Hello, everyone. I'm new here. Please carry on with your training. Don't mind me," Luo Yuan said with a smile.

Suddenly, a mature woman in her twenties approached Luo Yuan, her reddish-brown hair hanging loose. She had a stunning figure, bold, revealing, tight-fitting clothes, and a beautiful, alluring face. Her slightly cold, upturned eyes resembled a snake's, yet her composed demeanor somehow gave others a sense of security.

"You must be Luo Yuan. Hello, I'm Wang Qian, Advanced Warrior Level. Head Instructor Wu called me yesterday and told me about you. He asked me to teach you some practical combat skills. I was planning to look for you this afternoon, but I didn't expect us to meet already," Wang Qian introduced herself with a smile, then held out her hand.

"Uh, hello. Head Instructor Wu certainly works fast."

Luo Yuan quickly reached out to shake Wang Qian's hand, only to feel a powerful force from her grip. He hurriedly resisted with all 5,200 kilograms of his strength, but it still hurt. He realized that this woman was stronger than him. She must have been one of the best among the Advanced Warriors.

Seeing Luo Yuan's brow crease in pain, Wang Qian abruptly relaxed her grip and let go.

"Not bad. Your strength and speed are both at the Advanced Warrior standard, and your evasive movement technique has actually reached the micro level. You really are a genius worthy of catching the Supervisor's eye. You've certainly piqued my interest." Wang Qian licked the corner of her mouth, her expression turning seductive. Luo Yuan could no longer make sense of her. Women really were fickle.

"Come on. Let's find a private training room and have a chat." Wang Qian led Luo Yuan toward a separate training room.

Wang Qian and Luo Yuan's interaction astonished the other Advanced Warriors in the Martial Arts Hall, because Wang Qian had a nickname: Snake Lady.

She was a cold-blooded beauty who had killed countless people, as well as an extremely conceited woman. They had never seen her treat anyone so kindly, especially a man.

"Wait, I think I just heard that woman say the kid was a genius who caught the Supervisor's eye. Good heavens, did the Supervisor come here too? Who exactly is that kid?"

A bald middle-aged man suddenly cried out, leaving the Advanced Warriors in the ninth-floor Martial Arts Hall with a jumble of emotions.

Once they entered the private training room, Wang Qian produced a bottle of red wine and two stemmed glasses from somewhere. She handed Luo Yuan a glass and began pouring him some wine.

"By the way, little brother Luo Yuan, Head Instructor Wu told me you were only at the Intermediate Warrior standard yesterday. How did you become an Advanced Warrior today?"

Wang Qian asked the question casually as she poured his wine, but her snake-like eyes watched his expression the entire time.

"Well, I practiced the Five Hearts Facing the Sky Method yesterday, and when I woke up today, I had the strength of an Advanced Warrior," Luo Yuan answered truthfully. This time, he really wasn't lying.

"What? You learned the Five Hearts Facing the Sky Method in a single night, and your strength jumped straight from Intermediate Warrior to Advanced Warrior Level? I thought you'd stumbled upon some extraordinary opportunity."

Wang Qian's eyes filled with shock, tinged with dejection. Was this the gap between a genius warrior and ordinary warriors like her? Back then, it had taken her a whole week just to sense cosmic energy, and her strength had only increased by a thousand kilograms.

"All right, Luo Yuan. Since I promised to teach you practical combat skills, I won't go back on my word. Just call me Sister Qian from now on. For the next three months or so, you can come find me whenever you have time. If I'm free, I'll teach you," Wang Qian said earnestly. She decided to teach this young man properly. It would be a great help to her own future path as a warrior.

"Today, I'll teach you how to exert your strength, how to use the terrain when fighting an enemy, and how to injure or kill an opponent quickly and efficiently..."

Wang Qian patiently explained her practical combat experience to Luo Yuan, particularly her experience fighting monsters, along with the habits and traits of certain monsters. He benefited immensely. He had to admit that this woman had a wealth of combat experience, all of which she must have earned through blood and tears. He couldn't help developing a favorable impression of her.

"All right, next comes actual combat. I'll be your opponent. You can attack me however you like. Catch."

Wang Qian took two Blood Shadow Battle Blades from the weapon rack and tossed one to Luo Yuan. When he caught it, he felt that the blade was a little light. It probably weighed only a hundred kilograms or so.
