Luo Feng and Jiang Nian chatted along the way and soon arrived outside a three storey detached villa. This villa covered a large area. On the second floor balcony an old man with greying hair shouted. “Jiang Nian, come up quickly.”
“Let’s go, follow me upstairs.”
Jiang Nian led Luo Feng and quickly entered the villa.
The second floor of the villa was very spacious. It was not smaller than the training hall in the Limit Martial Hall at Yangzhou Yi An District.
“Supervisor.” Jiang Nian shouted respectfully as soon as he entered the second floor.
“Hmm?”
Luo Feng felt slightly surprised. Instructor Jiang Nian had never been this respectful even when meeting the head instructor of the Yangzhou branch, Wu Tong, or anyone else.
“Jiang Nian, this young man is Luo Feng, right.” A gentle voice sounded.
“Yes, supervisor.” Jiang Nian replied respectfully.
Luo Feng looked carefully. Beside the greying old man called Bai Bo stood five people. Four of them wore white suits. At this moment these four men and women in white suits stood respectfully behind a middle aged man in a black Tang suit. This middle aged man in Tang suit had a slim build, a hooked nose, and his eyes carried a gentle smile. His whole person gave off a refined and somewhat feminine feeling.
Jiang Nian immediately signalled Luo Feng with his eyes. Luo Feng then woke up from his thoughts and quickly said, “Greetings, supervisor.”
“Hmm.”
The middle aged man in Tang suit nodded slightly and spoke. “Old Bai, you all can start. Check this young man’s strength.”
“Yes.” Bai Bo also replied respectfully.
Luo Feng felt puzzled inside. “Even when the instructor met the head instructor Wu Tong he was not this respectful. This Bai Bo has quite a high position in the Limit Headquarters. Yet he is also very respectful in front of this supervisor. What exactly is the identity of this supervisor?”
No matter what, this supervisor was clearly a person of high position and great power.
“Beep!”
The fist strength tester, speed tester and other equipment were all switched on.
“Woo~~”
All the cameras and other equipment in this wide training hall on the second floor were activated. They clearly wanted to fully record Luo Feng’s test. The four young men and women in white suits also started moving immediately. Some held handheld computers while others personally checked whether the various instruments were accurate enough.
“Bai Bo, the instruments are fine.” The young woman in white suit said.
“Good.” Bai Bo looked at Luo Feng. “Luo Feng, start the test. Begin with fist strength.”
Luo Feng took a deep breath and walked towards the fist strength tester. At this time whether it was Jiang Nian, Bai Bo, the four young people in white suits, or the high and mighty supervisor, all eyes fell on Luo Feng. Luo Feng, whose body originally looked relaxed, suddenly exploded with power. He rushed forward like a cheetah.
“Bang!” A heavy punch with an explosive sound smashed onto the target of the fist strength tester.
Luo Feng immediately looked at the display screen. “3110kg.”
“Not bad, young man.” The supervisor who had been very calm until now smiled and nodded. “Continue to the next item.”
The speed test and nerve reaction test results came out quickly.
Speed test result: 58m/s.
Nerve reaction test: full marks at beginner warrior level, excellent at intermediate warrior level!
“Hu.”
Luo Feng walked out from the red circle of the nerve reaction tester. Seeing that he had performed normally he finally breathed a sigh of relief. “Good, I did not drop the ball at the critical moment.” Instructor Jiang Nian beside Luo Feng also relaxed. After all some people easily underperform under high psychological pressure at key moments.
“Among the three physical fitness tests, this nerve reaction is even better than the other two.” The middle aged man in Tang suit smiled and nodded.
“His age is also 18 years old, within the limit range.”
The middle aged man in Tang suit looked at Jiang Nian and smiled. “Your Yi An District has produced such a genius. Jiang Nian, you have made a great contribution.”
Jiang Nian could not help showing a bit of joy and laughed. “It is mainly because this young man Luo Feng worked hard enough himself.”
“Hmm.”
The middle aged man in Tang suit looked at Luo Feng with a serious expression. “Luo Feng, are you willing to join our Limit Martial Hall now? I believe instructor Jiang Nian has already told you the conditions.”
“I am willing to join.” Luo Feng did not hesitate.
“Very good.”
The middle aged man in Tang suit smiled and clapped his hands. “According to the old rules, you can choose a villa to live in either in Yangzhou City or at the main city district headquarters. You have the right to reside there but you do not have the right to sell it. The villa compounds of our Limit Martial Hall are definitely for martial artists within the hall to reside in.”
“In addition, twenty million starting funds! Plus three secret manuals for body technique, guidance technique and attack method with total price not exceeding fifty million.” The middle aged man in Tang suit smiled. “Am I correct?”
“Yes.” Luo Feng nodded.
The middle aged man in Tang suit looked at a woman in white suit beside him. “Go prepare a contract according to the old rules. However modify one clause. Luo Feng can freely choose body technique, guidance technique and attack method secret manuals. As long as the total price is within one hundred million, they are free. I will pay for them.”
“Yes, supervisor.” The woman in white suit glanced at Luo Feng in surprise. She did not dare say more and immediately went to print the contract.
“Supervisor…” Luo Feng was startled.
The previous benefits mentioned three secret manuals with total price not exceeding fifty million. Now it was suddenly raised to one hundred million and this supervisor would pay for it.
“Luo Feng, you are very good.” The middle aged man in Tang suit smiled slightly. “I am very optimistic about you. Do not mind this small amount of money.”
“Small amount?” Luo Feng felt shocked inside.
Fifty million raised to one hundred million meant this supervisor would spend tens of millions on him and it was considered a small amount? Even a warrior level fighter probably would not be this extravagant.
“Thank you, supervisor.” Luo Feng thanked him.
The middle aged man in Tang suit smiled slightly. The printed contract was soon brought over. He casually took the contract and pen and quickly signed it. The young woman in white suit then handed the contract and pen to Luo Feng. “Sign here, here and here.”
Luo Feng briefly scanned the contract. The conditions were very clear. Several clauses were written plainly without any headache inducing professional terms. Luo Feng immediately signed it.
“Welcome, Luo Feng, to join the big family of Limit Martial Hall!” The middle aged man in Tang suit smiled and extended his hand.
Luo Feng also extended his hand and shook hands with the supervisor.
“From today onwards, you can directly move into the martial artist villa compound.” The middle aged man in Tang suit smiled. “As for your starting funds and choosing secret manuals, after you officially become a martial artist and gain martial artist permissions, you will be qualified to enter the internal network of Limit Martial Hall to select and purchase secret manuals. The starting funds will also be directly deposited into your martial artist account.”
Luo Feng nodded.
“Oh, right. My name is Zhuge Tao. Young man, do not forget it.” The middle aged man in Tang suit smiled. Then he left the villa with the four young people in white suits.
The second floor of the villa was now empty. Only Bai Bo, Jiang Nian and Luo Feng remained.
“Hu, with the supervisor here just now I felt a bit tense even when breathing.” Jiang Nian laughed.
“I did not expect the supervisor to come either.” Bai Bo said with emotion.
Luo Feng asked in confusion. “Instructor, Bai Bo. Who exactly is this supervisor?”
“Haha, young man, you are quite lucky. The supervisor sees potential in you and casually raised the limit for your secret manual selection by another fifty million to reach one hundred million.” Bai Bo looked at Luo Feng and said with emotion. “What surprises me most is that the supervisor actually told you his name! It seems the supervisor really thinks highly of you.”
“Name?” Luo Feng did not realise at all what it meant for a supervisor to voluntarily tell someone his name.
Hearing the name Zhuge Tao, Luo Feng did not feel any other shock at the time. He only sighed in his heart. The surname Zhuge is quite rare.
“Luo Feng, in our terms the supervisor is one of the four giants in our Jiangnan Limit Martial Hall.” Jiang Nian smiled.
“Four giants?” Luo Feng was stunned.
Bai Bo glared at Jiang Nian and said in a low voice. “These are private sayings. In Jiangnan Limit Headquarters the highest position is the hall master, followed by the three supervisors! The hall master and three supervisors are what many martial artists secretly call the four giants! Each one holds extremely high power. To become a supervisor one must first reach advanced warrior level in strength. At the same time one needs great contribution value to the hall and support from a sufficient number of god of war level powerhouses!”
“Oh?” Luo Feng felt secretly shocked.
There are three major conditions to become a supervisor? Strength, contribution value and support from enough god of war level powerhouses?
“Luo Feng, to the supervisor fifty million really is nothing.” Jiang Nian said in a low voice. “In my opinion the reason the supervisor values you is because you are young. You are only 18 years old! He believes you have hope and potential to become a god of war level powerhouse in the future. So today he invested fifty million to help you.”
Luo Feng nodded.
Beside him Bai Bo smiled. “However, Luo Feng, do not be careless. Your talent is good but becoming a god of war level is extremely difficult! The supervisor only thinks you have a slight hope and possibility.”
“Just because of a slight possibility he invested fifty million to help me?” Luo Feng sighed inwardly.
The rules of Limit Martial Hall are very strict. According to internal rules the maximum limit for Luo Feng’s three secret manuals is fifty million. Even a supervisor cannot change the regulations. He can only pay extra from his own pocket on top of the fifty million. When a martial artist is just starting out, good secret manuals are indeed extremely useful.
“Do not think too much, Luo Feng. The supervisor sees you differently. This is only beneficial to you with no harm at all. The supervisor has very wide connections in the military, circles of god of war level powerhouses, government, major families and so on. He is one of the top big shots in the entire Jiangnan City, a giant level figure.” Jiang Nian could not help sighing.
Luo Feng nodded.
It is a good thing that this supervisor has a favourable impression of him. Why think so much about it? Since the other party helped him, if there is a chance in the future he can repay the favour.
“Luo Feng, when do you plan to move? To the martial artist compound in Yangzhou City or the one in the main city district?” Jiang Nian asked.
Luo Feng hesitated slightly.
Almost all of his parents’ friends are in Yangzhou City. His familiar friends are also almost all in Yangzhou City.
“I will move into Ming Yue Compound.” Luo Feng replied.
