Revealing His Talent, Genius Terms

With that in mind, Li Jing called his instructor, Jiang Nian.

The call connected quickly, and Jiang Nian's hearty laughter came from the other end. "Li Jing, why are you calling me instead of making the most of your training while your cells still haven't reached full saturation?

"But as it happens, I have something to discuss with you too. Come by my place when you have time. Villa 86 in Mingyue Residential Area-don't go to the wrong one."

"Got it, instructor. I'll come right over."

"What does Instructor Jiang Nian want with me?" After hanging up, Li Jing took off his training clothes, changed into casual clothes, and headed straight for Jiang Nian's villa, number 86.

As it happened, he needed to see Jiang Nian too, to reveal his talent and attract investment.

As for whether it was reasonable for his punching force to have increased by another 1,100 kilograms all at once after absorbing cosmic energy for the first time...

Li Jing had no leisure to worry about that. Once he had passed through the gates, learned scholars would argue his case for him!

Besides, with Luo Feng's shining example of becoming an Invincible War God in a year, Li Jing's achievements so far were nothing much. They were nowhere near shocking enough to shake the world.

"Li Jing, you're here! Come in and have a seat. I happen to have some good news for you!"

The two went to Jiang Nian's reception room, where Jiang Nian asked with a smile, "Tea or liquor?"

"A glass of plain water will do!" Li Jing nodded.

"Li Jing, do you know you've struck it lucky? A big shot has taken notice of you." After pouring Li Jing a glass of water, Jiang Nian gave him a mysterious smile.

Seeing Li Jing look at him in confusion, Jiang Nian stopped keeping him in suspense and explained:

"Luo Feng, one of Earth's three strongest, heard about your performance. Since you both came from the Limits Dojo in Yi'an District,

"he's given you a hundred million in purchasing credit for the dojo's Limit Home store. You can use it to buy any cultivation manuals, weapons, or equipment."

Luo Feng? How could he have heard of him?

Given his strength and status, there was no way he would pay attention to a mere Martial Artist Combat Assessment.

The only possibility was that Jiang Nian, Luo Feng's former instructor, had mentioned him in passing.

A hundred million in purchasing credit. Luo Feng was a good, generous man!

Thoughts raced through Li Jing's mind, and he quickly worked out what had happened. "Thank you for putting in a good word for me, instructor," he said at once.

Seeing how easily Li Jing had guessed the role he had played, Jiang Nian smiled even more broadly and waved a hand. "If you want to thank someone, thank Lord Luo Feng. I only mentioned you in passing while we were chatting. I didn't expect Lord Luo Feng to be so generous."

"Of course, it's also because you've done well for yourself. Otherwise, I wouldn't have dared bring you up in front of Lord Luo Feng."

"Keep working hard and aim to become a War God Level martial artist someday."

Jiang Nian felt that, given Li Jing's talent, there was a very good chance he would become a War God Level martial artist in the future.

"Yes, instructor. I'll do my best," Li Jing replied, then changed the subject. "Instructor, do you have a way to help me exchange the hundred million in purchasing credit for cash? I have another use for it."

The hundred million in Limit Home store credit was certainly substantial, but Li Jing couldn't turn it into immediate combat strength.

The way to go was to turn it into cash in his bank account and use it to draw cards.

Jiang Nian's expression changed. "Li Jing, don't lose your head. This is purchasing credit Lord Luo Feng gave you. The right way to use it is to buy cultivation manuals and equipment. What would you exchange it for cash for?"

"If you're short on cash, I can lend you some myself. Would ten million be enough?"

Ten million would only get him one ten-pull and one single draw. Naturally, that wasn't enough.

Li Jing shook his head. "Instructor, I have my reasons. Since the combat assessment, I've gained some new insights. How about we go to the training room and talk?"

"Looks like you've gotten stronger again. All right, let me see just how much you've improved."

Jiang Nian led Li Jing to the training room on the second floor and switched on the testing machines.

Li Jing took a deep breath and punched.

2,671 kilograms!

It was only the punching force of an ordinary Intermediate Warrior, yet Jiang Nian's expression grew serious.

He clearly remembered that Li Jing's punching force had previously been only around 1,570 kilograms. In such a short time, it had increased by another 1,100 kilograms.

A genius-an absolute genius at martial arts!

Judging by physical fitness alone, even if he fell short of Luo Feng back then, he wasn't far behind.

Given Earth's current cultivation environment, Li Jing might become another Invincible War God in the future.

At the thought that he might have discovered another Invincible War God Level powerhouse, Jiang Nian could hardly contain his excitement.

He pulled Li Jing over for the other two tests. "Li Jing, come on, let's test your speed and nerve reaction."

Before long, the results of the other two tests came out one after another.

"Speed: 46.7 meters per second."

"Nerve reaction: excellent for an Intermediate Warrior, passing for an Advanced Warrior."

With the solid results before him, Jiang Nian was absolutely certain he had discovered someone with the makings of an Invincible War God. Little did he know that an even bigger surprise was waiting for him.

"Instructor, besides my physical fitness, my movement and blade techniques have improved quite a bit too."

"Oh? That's very good. Li Jing, show me."

Jiang Nian didn't actually pay it much mind. Li Jing's talent for improving his physical fitness was already so remarkable.

Even if his talent for skills like blade and movement techniques was a little lacking, it didn't matter much.

Geniuses like Luo Feng, who were equally gifted in physical fitness and martial skills and were also rare spirit readers, were simply too few and far between.

From the Great Nirvana Period to the present, Luo Feng was the only one to have appeared on all of Earth.

The improvement Li Jing mentioned probably meant he was close to breaking through to Basic Level mastery, right?

For a Warrior Level martial artist, that was a truly impressive achievement!

But Jiang Nian soon discovered he was wrong-utterly and completely wrong.

Li Jing darted and weaved around the spacious training room, swinging the saber in his hand. Its flashes were sharp and swift as lightning.

The movement technique he displayed was even more intricate and accomplished than what he had shown during the nerve reaction test.

He had already reached the peak of the Basic Level and touched the threshold of the Perfect Level. He was only a hair's breadth away from breaking through!

His blade technique was even more astonishing. It had already entered the Specialized realm, equivalent to Perfect Level movement.

And he hadn't merely crossed the threshold, either. He had attained minor mastery.

His blade technique was even stronger than Jiang Nian's own!

Jiang Nian felt no embarrassment or anger at being proven wrong. Instead, he was overcome with ecstasy.

Apart from lacking a talent for Spiritual Force, the Li Jing before him was a second Luo Feng!

He, Jiang Nian, a mere Limits Dojo instructor in Yi'an District-what had he done to deserve discovering two super geniuses in a row?

Jiang Nian seized Li Jing's hand, his face full of excitement. "Li Jing, you may not know what your talent means.

"I can thump my chest and tell you this: if nothing goes wrong, you'll definitely become a Councilor Level powerhouse!"

"I'll report this to the dojo's upper management right away and have them invest more in you."

"You don't need to worry about Lord Luo Feng's hundred million in purchasing credit. If you need cash, the dojo will transfer it straight to you."

"Of course, the amount probably won't be too large. As I understand it, you may have to sign some genius terms, with corresponding benefits issued after you meet certain requirements."

Li Jing nodded, indicating that he didn't mind.

He didn't need much cash, just enough to draw cards and quickly get through the Warrior Level, become a Warlord or even a War God Level martial artist, and gain the ability to earn money quickly himself.

As for the so-called genius terms and the paltry cultivation resources they offered, he would take them if they were there and forget them if they weren't.

As long as he had money, the rewards he got from drawing cards through the system would blow those so-called genius terms out of the water!
