Upon hearing the good news, Zhuge Tao immediately stood up and said to Wu Tong:

"Take me to see the surveillance footage."

After watching the Military's surveillance footage, Zhuge Tao confirmed that it was true. He immediately went outside the surveillance room and reported the news.

Generally speaking, any Spirit Reader would be given an important position.

Two eighteen-year-old Spirit Readers at the War General Level.

That was truly extraordinary.

Luo Feng is already an Intermediate War General at eighteen. In the future, it would be perfectly normal for him to become a Wargod like my brother Zhuge Shan, or even surpass him...

I personally raised Luo Feng's sponsorship from fifty million to one hundred million.

That was incredibly farsighted of me.

And my nephew Chen Yi, the former firearms genius. I recruited him early for Old Long's sake, and now he's quietly become a Spirit Reader at the War General Level too-a future War God Level expert...

Two blessings at once.

Zhuge Tao had recruited Chen Yi early because Chen Yi was a genius highly skilled with firearms. On top of that, Chen Yi had become a Quasi-Martial Artist at just eighteen, so recruiting him early for his old friend Chen Weilong's sake was no trouble.

My contribution this time... is enormous. That fellow Old Long-his son awakened his talent as a Spirit Reader and has almost surpassed him, yet he didn't tell me such good news in advance.

Zhuge Tao put his thoughts aside.

He planned to go look after those two precious treasures, "Luo Feng" and "Chen Yi," immediately, lest the Thunder Dojo or the Military snatch them away.

Even though they had signed contracts, that was no guarantee.

As long as the penalty for breach of contract was paid, the two could join another faction at any time.

Monster Town.

"Beep beep~"

Chen Yi heard a faint sound and felt a vibration from his Communication Watch. He glanced at the message; it was from the Northern Military Region of Jiangnan Base City.

As for its contents,

it informed him that he had passed the martial artist assessment and didn't need to kill any more monsters than necessary. Otherwise, there wouldn't be enough monsters left for the assessment.

The moment Chen Yi saw the message, he connected his consciousness to the mirror in his mind and checked on Luo Feng. Sure enough... Luo Feng had received a similar message, telling them they could leave Monster Town.

Looks like... they've noticed Luo Feng and me.

Time to head back.

Standing on his shield, Chen Yi controlled it with his spiritual force and flew toward the edge of Monster Town... Only when he drew close did he continue on foot.

Just as he passed through the exit of the sealed-off town,

Chen Yi saw several martial artists walking toward him.

There were officers from the Military, as well as Zhuge Tao, a supervisor from the Dojo of Limits, and Wang Heng, a supervisor from the Thunder Dojo.

They had been waiting by the exit.

"Nephew Chen Yi!"

Zhuge Tao stepped forward first, refusing to yield an inch to either the Military or the Thunder Dojo supervisor. Standing in front of Chen Yi, he stated clearly:

"Chen Yi is my nephew, and he has already joined our Dojo of Limits."

"Neither of you is to try to recruit him."

"Besides... I've already reported the news, and it'll eventually reach Inspector Wang of our Dojo of Limits. I expect Chen Yi and Luo Feng will each be given a place in the Elite Training Camp, so don't bother with any underhanded schemes."

A place in the Elite Training Camp?

Chen Yi was delighted to hear that... Wasn't this exactly what he wanted?

The Elite Training Camp had an "ancient civilization gravity training room," as well as "ordinary gravity training rooms" replicated by Earth's scientists and all sorts of other cultivation facilities. On Earth, they could be a great help.

In the original story, if Luo Feng hadn't spent time in the Elite Training Camp, his cultivation speed probably wouldn't have been fast enough to keep up with the "Golden Horned Beast calamity"!

Besides...

Most importantly, the Elite Training Camp was located at the Dojo of Limits headquarters in Hongning Base City.

There was a chance he could meet:

Hong!

Just then,

Luo Feng walked out of the sealed-off town in his combat suit.

"Luo Feng!"

Zhuge Tao immediately called out to him as well.

Luo Feng came over, and Zhuge Tao quickly took him and Chen Yi away, giving the Military and the Thunder Dojo no chance to poach them.

"Luo Feng, listen to me..."

Zhuge Tao explained everything to Luo Feng again, including how he had already reported the news and was very likely to secure places in the Elite Training Camp for him and Chen Yi...

At the same time,

considering that Luo Feng came from an ordinary family and might not know how important the Dojo of Limits' Elite Training Camp was, Zhuge Tao gave him an introduction. He said it was the most prestigious training camp on Earth, and that those who graduated from it... would reach at least the War God Level in the future!

Of course,

Luo Feng already knew a great deal about the Elite Training Camp from the mission materials Chen Yi had issued. He had revealed his talent as a Spirit Reader this time precisely so he could join it.

So...

what he was curious about now was this:

How could this person his own age named Chen Yi, standing beside him, also be likely to qualify for the Elite Training Camp?

From the information Senior Yun had given him, Luo Feng was well aware of his own situation. He possessed a formidable Spirit Reader talent in the form of a solid "dark golden sphere," which could even allow him to keep his Spirit Reader level two realms ahead of his physical fitness for a long time...

As for improving his physical fitness,

he had regularly completed missions and exchanged contributions for Senior Yun's nurturing. In just one month... he had obtained a large quantity of Golden Vine Marrow Spirit Liquid, Qian Shui Mosquito Blood, and other treasures.

And there was the most precious treasure of all, the Vortex Energy Bead!

The Vortex Energy Bead could increase his cells' appetite, raising the daily limit on how much cosmic energy he could absorb and convert.

Only then had he reached his current level.

This Chen Yi must be a genius.

He's no less talented than I, Luo Feng, am.

Perhaps... he's even more hardworking than I am...

Now that the martial artist assessment was over,

Zhuge Tao took Luo Feng and Chen Yi to test their punching strength and Spirit Reader realms, among other things, to confirm a few details.

Once those trifles were dealt with, it was time to head back.

Luo Feng glanced at Chen Yi from time to time. He had learned that Chen Yi's realm was one level lower than his, but... an eighteen-year-old Beginner Warlord Spirit Reader was already a super genius.

Luo Feng knew Chen Yi. They both lived in Mingyue Residential Area and were both young martial artists... Though they weren't particularly close, they had exchanged a few words.

How had Chen Yi managed to reach the Junior War General level as a Spirit Reader at such a young age?

Luo Feng was intensely curious.

On the way back,

Luo Feng made a friendly inquiry and learned from Chen Yi that his physical strength was close to 3,400 kg.

3,400 kg of strength...

His physical fitness isn't far from the Advanced Warrior level either.

In that case,

he actually isn't that far behind me.

Without Senior Yun, I probably wouldn't be stronger than him. And my Spirit Reader talent is terrifying, while his is most likely not as strong as mine. It was probably even harder for him to get this far.

I wonder how much effort he had to put in behind the scenes...

Luo Feng sighed inwardly.

He too had suffered from lacking a strong family background.

In high school, he had been an advanced student, and the other two advanced students both had stronger family backgrounds than his...

Yet now...

he actually had the advantage in cultivation resources.

At the same time, Chen Yi was also aboard the train heading back when he suddenly heard someone calling through the mirror in his mind:

"Senior Yun."

"Senior Yun... are you there?"

Chen Yi was taken aback. It was Luo Feng's voice. Why was Luo Feng calling him now? He was puzzled, but his expression remained unchanged as he replied in his mind:

"Luo Feng, what is it?"

The "timbre" of the voice transmitted through the mirror was altered, providing a perfectly convincing disguise. Simply put, it came with a super voice changer, so Chen Yi didn't have to worry about being recognized by his voice.

"Senior Yun..."

"You should be able to see what's happening around me, right? I found a genius. His name is Chen Yi..."
