“Luo Feng, you, you have successfully cultivated genetic energy right?” Jiang Nian asked urgently.
“Yes. After the prospective warrior examination, I tried cultivating genetic energy for the first time. I succeeded that very night.” Luo Feng nodded.
Jiang Nian could not help clapping his fist against his palm and shouted loudly. “Haha, our Yi An District Limit Martial Hall has finally produced a true genius. The first time cultivating genetic energy and you increased from 1100 kilograms to 3100 kilograms. Such huge progress on the first try. In the whole Jiang Nan City, such geniuses appear at most one or two per year.”
Humans from birth until their first genetic energy cultivation have more than ten years or even longer. Their bodies have never absorbed genetic energy before.
Because they had never absorbed any, after being hungry for ten or twenty years, the first cultivation brings the most astonishing progress.
From the second time onwards, each improvement becomes very small. It requires years of constant cultivation to gradually improve. At the same time, the scale of progress on this first cultivation also represents a person’s aptitude. Some people increase fist strength by 300 kilograms on their first cultivation, which is quite common. Some increase by 600 kilograms, which is rather excellent.
Some increase by over 1000 kilograms. That counts as elite.
But Luo Feng increased by over 2000 kilograms. That is a genius.
“Luo Feng, come and test your speed. Later, test your nerve reaction speed as well.” Jiang Nian acted as if he had discovered a treasure and kept testing the abilities of this treasure.
“Yes, Chief Instructor.” Luo Feng also felt some excitement.
Soon the test results came out.
Fist strength, 3109 kilograms.
Speed, 58 metres per second.
Nerve reaction test, full marks at beginner warrior level. Excellent at intermediate warrior level.
“Haha, our Yi An District has also produced a monster.” Jiang Nian looked at the final nerve reaction test machine results. His face flushed red with excitement. He patted Luo Feng on the shoulder and shouted. “Luo Feng, your chief instructor’s future martial hall contribution points will depend on you to earn them.”
Luo Feng just chuckled.
“Luo Feng, with your improved strength, our Limit Martial Hall can let you join the hall in advance.” Jiang Nian said quickly. “You do not need to go through the warrior actual combat examination. We can let you join first.”
“Join the Limit Martial Hall first?” Luo Feng felt some confusion.
Normally one only qualifies to officially join other forces after becoming a warrior.
“Luo Feng, you came from the Yi An District Limit Martial Hall. I can also be considered your guide.” Chief Instructor Jiang Nian patted Luo Feng on the shoulder and smiled. “I will not hide it from you. On your first genetic energy cultivation, you increased fist strength by over two thousand kilograms. Your speed and nerve reaction tests also showed astonishing progress. It can be assessed that your talent belongs to the genius level, or rather the monster level. In Jiang Nan City with its population of two hundred million, only one or two such monster talents appear per year.”
Luo Feng smiled helplessly in his heart.
Monster level?
Others did not know, but he himself understood clearly. On his first genetic energy cultivation, his fist strength probably only increased by around six hundred kilograms. It was the later ability awakening that greatly increased his strength again to reach such astonishing numbers.
However, Jiang Nian would not think of that. After all, for normal warriors, the biggest strength leap in their entire life is the first genetic energy cultivation.
“A monster genius like you will naturally have your results noticed by the Thunderbolt Martial Hall, the underground alliance families and so on during the warrior actual combat examination. At that time they will of course come to invite you to join.” Chief Instructor Jiang Nian smiled. “By then, you might be dazzled by all kinds of generous conditions.”
Luo Feng suddenly understood. Yes, when encountering one or two monster talents that appear once a year from two hundred million people in Jiang Nan City, which force would not compete for them?
“So letting you join now is better right?” Chief Instructor Jiang Nian laughed. “Of course do not worry. The conditions our Limit Martial Hall gives you will not be low. Normal warriors who join the hall receive a villa plus one million Chinese currency in starting funds. Luo Feng, do not look down on money. Warriors need money for battle uniforms, weapons, blade technique secret manuals, and even some hot weapons. You may even need to hire strong experts to teach you personally.”
Luo Feng nodded.
“For a genius like you, besides a villa we also provide twenty million in starting funds. This lets you buy various weapons and equipment. At the same time, our Limit Martial Hall will give you one set of guidance technique, one set of blade technique secret manual, and one set of movement technique secret manual for free. If the total price of these three is below fifty million, you get them completely free. If over fifty million, you pay the extra part yourself.”
Luo Feng could not help holding his breath in his heart.
My god.
Normal warriors get only one million in starting funds, while he would get nearly seventy million. After all, guidance techniques, blade technique secret manuals and movement technique secret manuals are very important to warriors.
“Luo Feng, these three items together are said to be no more than fifty million. But if you buy them elsewhere, the cost would probably be around twice what it is in the Limit Martial Hall.” Jiang Nian smiled. “Limit Martial Hall warriors get discounts when buying some secret manuals inside the Limit Martial Hall. Of course, buying secret manuals of certain levels also requires corresponding martial hall contribution points. Without contribution points, you cannot buy secret manuals even with money. Naturally for your first purchase, the free gifts have no contribution point requirements.”
Luo Feng suddenly understood. It seemed the conditions the Limit Martial Hall gave him were quite generous.
“Our Limit Martial Hall gives the same conditions to all genius warriors.” Jiang Nian smiled. “In the Limit Martial Hall, when you go out to hunt monsters in the future, you can get help from companions in various places. Also, our Limit Martial Hall’s head hall master, the world’s number one expert Hong, will occasionally guide some true elite figures.”
Luo Feng had lived in this era for so many years. He knew very well how great the influence of the Limit Martial Hall was.
Joining the Limit Martial Hall was definitely a good choice.
“Good, Chief Instructor. I agree.” Luo Feng nodded.
“Haha.” Jiang Nian laughed. “Of course I am not qualified to let you join the Limit Martial Hall directly. Recruiting a monster level warrior like you requires personal review from headquarters.” As he spoke, Jiang Nian took out a phone from his pocket, spoke softly the word headquarters, and the phone immediately dialled.
A moment later.
A figure appeared on the phone screen.
“Jiang Nian, what is the matter?” The white haired old man on the phone screen said with a faint smile.
“Uncle Bai.” Jiang Nian said with an excited face. “I discovered a genius level warrior in my Yi An District. On his first genetic energy cultivation, he increased fist strength by two thousand kilograms. His speed reached fifty eight metres per second, and even his nerve reaction test was excellent at the intermediate warrior level assessment. He is definitely monster level, genius level.”
“Oh?” The white haired old man was greatly shocked and asked quickly. “First cultivation increase of over two thousand kilograms in fist strength? How old is he this year?”
The older the age, the lower the training value.
“Eighteen years old.” Jiang Nian said quickly.
“What, only eighteen years old?” The white haired old man suddenly stood up and roared. “You kid, quickly bring him over to headquarters. I will arrange people right now to prepare for an assessment on this kid.”
“Good, I will go to headquarters immediately.”
Jiang Nian hung up the phone, turned and smiled at Luo Feng. “Luo Feng, come with me now to headquarters.”
“Yes, Chief Instructor. Chief Instructor, let me put the Blood Shadow war blade and hexagonal shield back in the weapon storage.” As soon as Luo Feng spoke, Jiang Nian pulled him. “Why put them in storage? Just leave them on the ground. Quick, do not waste time.”
As he spoke, Jiang Nian pulled Luo Feng towards the staircase entrance. At the same time, Jiang Nian instructed. “Old Li, I probably will not have time today. Cancel my class tonight.”
“Yes, Hall Master.” Uncle Li nodded quickly. Before he finished speaking, Jiang Nian and Luo Feng had already disappeared from his view.
Chief Instructor Jiang Nian used warrior privileges and took Luo Feng on the train without buying tickets to head to the main urban area of Jiang Nan City.
Jiang Nan City is divided into the main urban area and eight major satellite cities.
The transport between the main urban area and the eight satellite cities is by train. Ordinary people must book tickets three days in advance, and the ticket price is very expensive. As for going from one base city to another base city, the ticket price is even more astronomical. Ordinary people cannot afford it at all. So the two hundred million ordinary citizens in Jiang Nan City rarely have the chance to leave the base city area in their entire lives.
Jiang Nan Base City, main urban area.
Luo Feng and Jiang Nian walked side by side on the pavement.
“Luo Feng, do you feel the difference between the main urban area and our Yang Zhou City?” Jiang Nian smiled as he pointed around. Luo Feng looked around and shook his head. “I do not feel much. I just feel there are more people, more cars, and the roads are wider. Other things are average.” Indeed, looking at a small scene, there was nothing particularly special.
Jiang Nian smiled slightly. “At first glance, the difference does not seem big. You will know the difference in a moment.”
“Hello?” Jiang Nian opened his phone.
“Jiang Nian, how much longer until you arrive?” The old man’s face appeared on the phone screen.
“Uncle Bai, within ten minutes.” Jiang Nian smiled.
“Yes, I have already invited the supervisor over. Do not make any mistakes later.” The white haired old man said seriously.
“Supervisor?” Jiang Nian was startled.
While they were talking, Luo Feng already saw a vast area ahead. Besides the extending silver white courtyard walls, there was a tall dark blue skyscraper. On the body of this skyscraper were four large characters clearly visible from several miles away, Limit Martial Hall.
“This is the Limit Headquarters Hall. It is the headquarters of our Limit Martial Hall in Jiang Nan City.” Jiang Nian said.
“So many soldiers.” Luo Feng sucked in a breath of cold air.
Outside the courtyard walls of the Limit Headquarters Hall, armed soldiers stood guard at every spot. The entire Limit Headquarters Hall gave the feeling of an armed to the teeth monster. The main entrance of the Limit Headquarters Hall was a full hundred metres wide. Rows of soldiers looked around.
“These are the internal army of our Limit Martial Hall.” Jiang Nian smiled. “Our Limit Martial Hall internally also has the right to establish security forces.”
“Go, enter.” Jiang Nian led Luo Feng towards the main entrance.
“Pass.” At the main entrance, a one armed man with a scar on his face waved his hand. All the soldiers immediately stepped back one pace. The neat and uniform momentum made Luo Feng hold his breath.
The one armed man smiled and looked at Jiang Nian. “Old Jiang, it has been some days since you came to headquarters. Come over later and we brothers will have a few drinks.”
“Good.” Jiang Nian smiled and nodded. At the same time he glanced at Luo Feng. “Luo Feng, this is your senior. Call him Uncle Lu.”
“Uncle Lu.” Luo Feng called out respectfully. He could feel this one armed man was an extremely powerful warrior.
“Young man is good.” The one armed man smiled and nodded.
“No time to talk with you now. We will chat later. Uncle Bai is waiting for me inside.” Jiang Nian immediately led Luo Feng into the courtyard of the Limit Headquarters Hall. This huge courtyard area was like a large park. Small bridges over flowing water, artificial mountains and flower beds could be seen everywhere. There was also constant pedestrian traffic in the courtyard area. Every person made Luo Feng feel they were not ordinary.
As Jiang Nian and Luo Feng walked on the path, Jiang Nian sighed. “The one you called Uncle Lu earlier is a good brother who ventured through life and death with me back then. We are brothers who have been through hardships together. His broken arm was slapped off by a black furred iron ape from the ape type monsters.”
Luo Feng listened quietly.
“Our Limit Clubhouse warriors are very united.” Jiang Nian pointed at that skyscraper. “Look, that building is the headquarters of the Limit Martial Hall warriors in Jiang Nan City. Almost all who enter and exit that building are warriors.”
“Almost all warriors?” Luo Feng was startled.
He could see faint figures through the glass of the skyscraper first floor hall. There were probably over a hundred people.
“Jiang Nan City has a total population of two hundred million. How could the number of warriors in our Limit Martial Hall be small?” Jiang Nian laughed. “On the first floor hall, most are drinking and chatting. In this headquarters building, from the second floor to the ninth floor is where warrior level warriors often cultivate and stay. From the tenth floor to the nineteenth floor is where warlord level warriors stay. As for the twentieth floor and above, those are places for some group meetings.”
Luo Feng felt confused and asked quickly. “Chief Instructor, are warriors divided into warrior level and warlord level?”
“Warriors are mainly divided into warrior level, warlord level, and the extremely rare god of war level.” Jiang Nian explained softly. “Among them, warrior level warriors are the most numerous. Many warriors remain at warrior level for their entire lives. Warrior level is further divided into beginner warrior level, intermediate warrior, and advanced warrior. Generally, warriors who have just passed the examination belong to beginner warrior level.”
“Luo Feng, your current strength counts as intermediate warrior level.” Jiang Nian said.
Luo Feng nodded.
