While Zhang Junbao's family was immersed in the good news that their father was about to recover from his amputation, at the airport in the main urban area of Jiangnan Base City.

Airports are a very unfamiliar word for humanity after its rebirth.

Since the Great Nirvana Period, there have been countless flying monsters in the sky, raising the requirements for 'airborne passenger planes' countless times. Before the Great Nirvana, passenger planes only needed to cope with weather conditions, but now they have to face attacks from monsters. The cost of a single passenger plane is already more exaggerated than that of an aircraft carrier before the Great Nirvana.

Therefore, the so-called 'passenger plane' is no longer relevant to the general public in this era.

Although there are still 'airplanes' nowadays, the price of each airplane ticket is astronomical for ordinary people! Even among the wealthy, only a few are willing to buy an airplane ticket.

In the airport waiting area, Zhou Zhengyong, the president of the Limit General Hall, and his three supervisors—the four giants of the Limits Dojo in Jiangnan Base City —were all waiting.

"They're here!" Zhuge Tao smiled as he looked up at the sky.

"Whoosh!"

A phantom, almost invisible to the naked eye, appeared in the sky above the airport in Jiangnan Base City almost Teleportation, then quickly decelerated, passed through the city's defense system, and then slowly descended.

Zhuge Tao saw that the giant flying saucer-shaped passenger plane was entirely dark blue, with a diameter of thirty or forty meters. The surface of the fuselage had been specially treated, and the dark blue light it reflected under the sunlight was mesmerizing.

"Beep!"

The cabin door of the saucer-shaped passenger plane opened automatically, extending downwards into a stepped passageway.

Upon seeing this, the four leaders of the Limits Dojo immediately went to the stairwell of the UFO-shaped passenger plane to wait. Those who could come directly to the plane with the four leaders to wait were all people of status and position; there were only about a dozen of them in the entire Jiangnan Base City.

One by one, the passengers of the passenger plane began to descend the steps, each of them having an extraordinary background.

You should know...

There are very few passenger planes like this in the world!

Because flying over Wilderness Zone requires not only considering the weather conditions but also ensuring safety.

First of all, the outermost material of the entire passenger plane is generally made of a material comparable to that of Series 9 (i. e. S-class) combat suits and Series 9 warrior weapons. Although it is a thin layer of material, it can completely withstand the attack of High Lord- class flying monsters!

In addition, the entire aircraft also needs to be equipped with expensive airborne laser cannons!

The airborne laser cannon is perfectly capable of killing any ' King-level monster' that dares to approach the passenger plane.

All of this ensures the safety of passenger planes. It also makes their cost astonishing!

For example, an S-grade sword costs 3 billion at full price in the Limits Dojo, 1.5 billion at half price, and 1 billion at the best price in the War God Palace. However, its cost price is around 800 to 900 million. If you only consider the materials used, such as the Kro Alloy, it only costs a little over 600 million.

The entire outer layer of the passenger plane's fuselage is made of this material.

A saucer-shaped passenger plane with a diameter of 30 to 40 meters, although it is only made of a thin layer of material, still weighs 30 tons due to its high density. The cost of the Kro Alloy material alone reached 200 billion Huaxia Currency, not including other precious materials and equipment!

In addition to airborne laser cannons, and other detection devices, etc...

The manufacturing cost of a single saucer-shaped passenger plane far exceeds the cost of an aircraft carrier before the Great Nirvana. Moreover, the annual maintenance costs for this saucer-shaped passenger plane are equally staggering! Each flight, if attacked by a swarm of flying monsters, requires a counterattack, thus consuming even more energy.

That's why the ticket price for this passenger plane is outrageously high! A single flight costs almost half of one's net worth, and even the average wealthy person can't afford it.

" Old Yang!" the president of the Limit General Hall called out with a smile.

A middle-aged man in a gray robe walked over with a smile, " Iron Hand, haha, long time no see."

" Old Yang, you came here this time to verify Zhang Junbao's abilities, right?"

Wow, an 18-year-old Beginner Warlord, and Spirit Reader at that! Even we can't help but praise such talent. He's truly blessed with exceptional abilities!

They're already qualified to participate in the ' Elite Training Camp '!

Anyway, Zhang Junbao isn't going to run away; he's cultivating at home now. Let's go, brothers, find a place to chat. It's been almost eight years since we last saw each other," the president of the Limit General Hall said with a smile.

Mr. Yang!

The three managers, including Zhuge Tao, also called out with a slightly more respectful tone.

The middle-aged man, Yang Hui, looked to be only in his thirties, but he was actually over fifty. He was a Mid-level Wargod and usually lived at the Global Headquarters the Limits Dojo, only going out when carrying out special missions.

In terms of both martial prowess and status, Yang Hui is comparable to Zhou Zhengyong, the Jiang Nan Extreme Management Association President known as " Iron Hand ".

"It's been eight years since we last met. Come on, let's find a place to have some tea first, and then have lunch together. By the way, Zhuge, is your older brother in the Base City? Let's ask him to come along," Yang Hui said.

"Okay, I'll call my brother right away," Zhuge Tao said.

Among the group, Yang Hui is the Wargod, the chairman Zhou Zhengyong, nicknamed " Iron Hand," is the Wargod, and Zhuge Tao's brother, " Zhuge Shan," is also the Wargod.

Making friends usually depends on status and position; otherwise, without some background or status, you simply can't get into this circle.

"Let's go have some tea. We'll investigate that kid Zhang Junbao's matter later," said Wargod Yang Hui with a smile.

Immediately, Yang Hui, the special envoy from headquarters, and the four giants of the Limits Dojo in Jiangnan Base City left the airport together.

On May 29th, with less than 10 days left until the college entrance examination, Luo Feng was not preparing for it.

Inside Zhang Junbao's cultivation room, two figures moved rapidly, occasionally colliding with each other and producing loud noises.

Luo Feng pushed his speed to the limit and threw a punch at Zhang Junbao's chest. But just as his fist was about to hit Zhang Junbao, he found that it inexplicably missed.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Zhang Junbao turned his body to the side, grabbed Luo Feng's arm, and pushed him out in the direction of Luo Feng's force. At the same time, he tripped Luo Feng's heel, making him lose his balance.

Luo Feng was propelled by his own strength, and just as he was about to hit the ground, a force imperceptible to ordinary people seemed to emerge around him, acting on his clothes and catching him.

Luo Feng also used this force to avoid falling, quickly pushing off the ground with both feet and escaping his original position.

Just as he left, Zhang Junbao descended from the sky and punched him in the spot where he had been standing. If Luo Feng hadn't dodged in time, that punch would have been enough to incapacitate him.

Just as Zhang Junbao's fist was about to slam into the ground, his arm bent slightly, and the force that was supposed to be aimed directly at him actually bounced his body up. His feet formed Strangulation, and he attacked Luo Feng again.

Luo Feng quickly parried the attack with both hands, but Zhang Junbao kicked him backward, sending him flying and crashing into the wall.

Luo Feng leaned against the wall for support, panting heavily.

"Hoo hoo"

Even using the same power and speed, I am still no match for you.

" Junbao, how did you do that?" Luo Feng's eyes were filled with doubt. He had secretly used his Spiritual Force to assist himself so that he wouldn't lose his fighting ability immediately, but he still couldn't dodge Zhang Junbao's attack.

"Haha, you were able to dodge the first attack, your reaction was very quick. However, your muscle control is still lacking, you wasted too much power and couldn't make full use of every bit of your strength."

Therefore, whether you are attacking, defending, or moving, you will experience brief periods of charging and dissipation of power, which is a sign that your muscle control is not yet perfect.

Why didn't you use the force of the fall to launch another attack the moment you hit the ground? Your reflexes are fast enough that you could have done that without relying on external force.

It's just that you don't have this concept in your subconscious. What you need to think about is how to utilize the force of your body when you fall, rather than the fact that you fell.

Just like when you dodged my attack, I didn't let the force of my downward punch go to waste; instead, I used it as momentum for my next attack.

Zhang Junbao approached Luo Feng and carefully explained.

For Zhang Junbao, explaining things to Luo Feng was also a process of reviewing his own combat experience. During the explanation, Zhang Junbao was able to reflect on his own shortcomings.

Luo Feng fell into deep thought. His movement technique was already close to the Minitia Level, and among those who passed the Quasi-Warrior Assessment in the same batch, few could compare to him. However, compared to Zhang Junbao, the gap was still huge.

So during this period, Luo Feng shamelessly sought guidance from Zhang Junbao.

Given their relationship, Zhang Junbao did not refuse. Moreover, Zhang Junbao knew that Luo Feng had enormous potential that had not yet been tapped. To him, nurturing Luo Feng was like carving a rough gem.

The value of a piece of raw jade depends not only on its material but also on the ingenuity of the sculptor.

For Zhang Junbao, this was also part of cultivating his mental state. He not only constantly honed his combat skills, but also never neglected the cultivation of his mental state.

Unlike Cosmic Origin Energy, mental state doesn't directly enhance a cultivator's strength. However, it can provide a method for breakthroughs at crucial moments. Simply put, it means being able to maintain a good mindset when facing problems, instead of panicking or becoming enraged. Furthermore, it leads to higher comprehension and a greater understanding of the Law governing the universe.

Why is it that some people seem to have no bottlenecks in their spiritual practice, making rapid progress all the way, while others encounter setbacks along the way, struggling to overcome even the slightest difficulties?

The mindset seems simple, but very few people can truly achieve it. Too many people talk eloquently about these things, but when they actually encounter problems, they panic, become enraged, and are unable to control their emotions.

There's a reason for this, partly due to ability, but the bigger reason is mindset.
