Although Zhang Junbao had signed an agreement to join the Limits Dojo, those agreements only made him a member of the Limits Dojo and allowed him to leave at any time; they did not make him a true member of the Limits Dojo.
Hong's invitation was clearly intended to make Zhang Junbao a high-ranking member of the Limits Dojo.
Seeing that Zhang Junbao hadn't replied yet, Hong smiled and said, "Don't worry, joining the Limits Dojo won't limit you. On the contrary, you can get more resources and help."
Once you become Wargod, you will directly become the Inspector of the Limits Dojo. You should know that the Inspector is the highest-ranking person in charge of the Limits Dojo in each safe Base City, an absolute big shot.
The creation of treasures like Dragon Blood and Jade Marrow is entirely under my control. As a member of the Limits Dojo, you have priority in purchasing them.
Furthermore, if you acquire treasures in the future, you will receive the protection of the Limits Dojo. After all, there are other forces on Earth, and everyone wants the relics of ancient civilizations. It would be difficult to protect them on your own.
The saying "A common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime" is probably self-evident and I don't need to explain it to you further.
Furthermore, according to the agreement you previously signed, you are qualified to become my disciple.
I dare say that, apart from a few top speakers, no one on Earth could refuse such conditions, right?
You may not know this, but even my three personal guards, who are beings Beyond War God of War, are willing to pay a hefty sum for my guidance. And after you become my disciple, I will personally instruct you in your cultivation."
Hong stared into Zhang Junbao's eyes, revealing a powerful and confident smile.
Hong's offer was quite tempting. Zhang Junbao's current strength was not enough to become Inspector. After all, the Inspector of the Limits Dojo were usually High-level War God, while Zhang Junbao, even with the amplification of his Spiritual Force, was only at the level of Beginner War God.
However, Hong did not forget that Zhang Junbao had not yet used Dragon Blood. Dragon Blood, which has a great effect on improving physical fitness, is undoubtedly the fastest way for Zhang Junbao to improve his strength.
Most importantly, as Hong said, apart from the major council chairmen, who among the other Planetary Level martial artists wouldn't want to become Hong's disciple, the strongest person on Earth?
Becoming Hong's apprentice not only means having the most powerful backing on Earth, but also means that he will have priority access to any ancient civilization resources that Hong acquires in the future.
No young person would refuse Hong's terms.
However, Zhang Junbao gently shook his head and said, "What I pursue is the ultimate in martial arts; power has no meaning for me."
Becoming the Inspector of the Limits Dojo is unnecessary; I don't have the time or energy to do such a thing.
As for becoming your disciple, I need to consider it.
Zhang Junbao didn't refuse outright. After all, he hadn't received his reward yet. If he directly rejected Hong, he might anger him and cause Hong to cancel the reward, leaving Zhang Junbao with nowhere to turn.
However, in Hong's view, the fact that Zhang Junbao did not immediately agree to become his disciple was already a big problem.
When did it become the case that when he, the strongest person on Earth, wanted to take on a disciple, the other party actually said they needed to consider it?
Don't I have any pride?
How could my being Hong's apprentice possibly disgrace you?
You have no idea how many people are eager to become my apprentice, but I don't even glance at them!
You actually need to consider this?
Zhang Junbao's answer was completely unexpected by Hong.
He originally thought that by introducing Zhang Junbao to the grandeur of the universe, possessing abundant ancient civilization resources on Earth, and providing Zhang Junbao with protection and becoming his disciple, he could ensure that Zhang Junbao's strength would rapidly improve. It was expected that within a few years, Zhang Junbao would even become a being Beyond War God of War.
This is a realm that countless martial artists dream of!
If such conditions were offered elsewhere, which of those powerful families would be willing to lay down their entire fortunes—hundreds of billions, even trillions of Huaxia Currency —for becoming Hong's disciple? It would be nothing compared to that!
A normal person would have no reason to refuse to do it.
However, Zhang Junbao insisted on considering it, which was a slap in the face to Hong, since Hong had just said that no one would refuse his invitation, but Zhang Junbao refused it right away.
How could Hong possibly know that Zhang Junbao, a grandmaster of his generation, would not easily join another organization, let alone become Hong's disciple?
Zhang Junbao silently shook his head. The other conditions were manageable, but asking him to become Hong's disciple? He was dreaming!
Hong's eye twitched slightly, but he could only suppress it with his strong willpower, refusing to get angry.
But being publicly humiliated is really unpleasant! Luckily, no one else saw it.
"Master, I was also deeply shocked to see that there are so many unknown powerful beings in the universe. What I want to do most right now is to improve my strength."
"I wonder when I'll receive the Dragon Blood and the Black God Set that were originally supposed to be my reward?"
Zhang Junbao displayed the eagerness befitting a young martial artist, which made Hong smile.
Young man, surely you don't understand just how great the benefits of becoming his apprentice are? You're still too naive, after all, only eighteen.
"Hehe, that's true. You're too young to understand the power of Planetary Level martial artists. Let alone the unbelievably powerful cosmic martial artists. Even when I first learned this fact, I couldn't calm down for a long time."
It is quite remarkable that you can remain undaunted by the power of the cosmic martial artists and maintain your pursuit of the ultimate martial arts.
Don't worry, your reward will be plentiful. I've already had it prepared, and you can take it with you as soon as you leave.
Since you need to think about it, I'll give you a month to consider it.
I hope you can make the right choice in a month.
Hong was very magnanimous and said with a smile. He believed that Zhang Junbao could not find a better teacher than him on Earth.
"Thank you for your understanding, Master." Zhang Junbao nodded slightly in thanks.
"By the way, Master, I'd like to travel to the Australian Continent for training next. I wonder if you could send a fighter jet to take me there?"
Zhang Junbao asked.
"Going to Australia? Are you going alone?"
"Right."
" The Elite Training Camp conducts real-world combat trials in the Australian Wilderness Zone every year; it's not time for that this year yet."
Hong frowned slightly, wondering what Zhang Junbao's purpose was.
"My physical fitness has improved significantly during my time in the Elite Training Camp, and it will continue to rise with the use of Dragon Blood."
However, this also meant a lack of real-world experience. My month-long training trip to Australia allowed me to clearly define my future path, and I hope the instructor will grant my request.
Hong thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Alright, real combat is indeed the fastest way for a martial artist to improve. I'll have Wang Tong prepare it for you."
"Thank you for your kindness, Master. Is there anything else you need?" Zhang Junbao asked.
Hong had also read Zhang Junbao's information. He had only been a martial artist for a few months. In other words, although Zhang Junbao was exceptionally talented, how many demonic beasts had he actually seen so far?
Hong's idea was to let Zhang Junbao go out and explore on his own. Once he witnessed the power of Lord-level and King-level monsters, he would naturally beg Hong to take him as his disciple.
"Hehe, what's wrong? Is it too stressful to talk to me? You don't want to be with me, huh?"
"Alright, I hope you'll seriously consider my suggestion. Go now, Wang Tong will arrange everything for you." Hong shook his head; the young man was still too impatient.
Little did he know, Zhang Junbao genuinely didn't want to chat with him, not because of the immense pressure, but because he already knew most of what Hong had said about the powerful beings outside Earth.
But he insisted on portraying himself as someone who had only recently learned the truth, someone who knew less than Hong, with a confident yet surprised expression. Zhang Junbao was really exhausted; his acting skills were limited!
This month was incredibly timely for Zhang Junbao.
Hmph, it's still uncertain who will take whom as their apprentice a month from now!
