Headquarters Personnel Arrive

On the sixth floor of the Extreme Martial Arts Dojo, within the empty Training Hall. Luo Feng switched on the punching force testing machine, and its screen lit up. “First, I won’t use the Ninefold Thunder Blade’s force exertion method; I’ll use normal force.” Luo Feng slightly adjusted his breathing. Immediately, he moved like a charging gorilla, his entire right shoulder and arm imbued with a forward-crashing momentum, his fist arcing naturally. Bang! A deep thud, like a drum being struck, echoed. The punching target vibrated violently, and the punching force testing machine’s display immediately showed a number—'9981kg'. “Oh, such a big increase.” Luo Feng couldn’t help but smile happily at the number. “Last time it was 6121kg; I’ve gained over 3000kg in these three months.” This figure was actually within Luo Feng’s expectations, as training after life-and-death battles typically leads to faster strength improvements. That’s why Luo Feng made significant progress during his little over a month in City No. 003. Then, after returning home for nearly two months, he had just mastered the Third Tier of the Ninefold Thunder Blade before coming back, which made Luo Feng’s progress noticeably faster than before. Accumulated over three months, his strength had increased by this much. “Based on general physical fitness data, a punching force between 4000kg and 8000kg is considered High-level Warrior Tier! And 8000kg to 16000kg falls within the Beginner Tier Warrior range. This means my current physical fitness is comparable to an average Beginner Tier Warrior.” Luo Feng smiled, gathering his strength slightly once more. This time, Luo Feng intended to use the Ninefold Thunder Blade’s force exertion method. However, it was somewhat disappointing that over these two months, despite having purchased the manuals for the first four tiers of the Ninefold Thunder Blade, Luo Feng couldn’t master the Fourth Tier no matter how he trained, only achieving more precise control over his full body strength. “Hah!” Luo Feng let out a low roar, his breath erupting like an arrow from his mouth. As he roared, Luo Feng’s right arm instantly sliced through the air, accelerating continuously in that brief moment, directly breaking the sound barrier and creating a terrifying sonic boom. The heavy, hammer-like punch slammed directly onto the punching target. “Boom~~” The punching target swayed violently, fell backward, and then rebounded. “Satisfying,” Luo Feng said, looking at the display screen. The display screen paused for a moment before showing a number—'28081kg'. “Tsk, tsk, if you multiply 9981kg by 2.8, it comes out to roughly…” Luo Feng did some mental math. “Around 27947kg. I hit over 28000kg with that one, not bad.” Luo Feng was very satisfied with this figure; a punching force of 28000kg was truly terrifying. That’s 28 tons of punching power! A truck only weighs a few tons; imagine the impact of that punch. According to physical fitness data, 16000kg to 32000kg falls under the Intermediate Tier Warrior standard. However, even within Intermediate Tier Warriors, there’s a significant difference in strength between someone barely meeting the 16000kg baseline and a seasoned Intermediate Tier Warrior. If Luo Feng were to unleash a blade strike now, he would be considered formidable among Intermediate Tier Warriors. …Wu Tong, the director of the Extreme Martial Arts Dojo, frequently visited the dojo as part of his duties. “A sonic boom?” Wu Tong, in a quiet room on the fifth floor, suddenly heard the sonic boom from the sixth floor and jumped. “Which expert managed to create a sonic boom?” Wu Tong swiftly became a blur, rushing directly up the stairs to the sixth floor. The Training Hall on the sixth floor was empty save for one person—Luo Feng! At this moment, Luo Feng was still in front of the punching force testing machine, contemplating the level of his current strength. “Hmm?” Luo Feng turned around. “Uncle Wu.” “Damn, kid, you caused that sonic boom? Let me see how powerful that punch was.” Wu Tong was very surprised as he walked towards Luo Feng. But when his gaze fell upon the punching force testing machine’s display screen and he saw the number, he couldn’t help but be stunned. “28081kg?” Wu Tong couldn’t help but stare at Luo Feng, as if Luo Feng had transformed into a monster. “You hit that?” “Who else but me?” Luo Feng chuckled. “But my physical fitness isn’t that strong.” “Is it the Ninefold Thunder Blade?” Wu Tong immediately guessed. He already knew Luo Feng had purchased the Ninefold Thunder Blade manual, but while many powerful Warriors in the world could afford to buy such manuals, many couldn’t even grasp the basics. “Even with the Ninefold Thunder Blade, it shouldn’t be this exaggerated. What’s your normal punching force now? And which tier of the Ninefold Thunder Blade have you reached?” Wu Tong pressed. Luo Feng smiled and replied, “My normal punching force is around 10,000kg. I’ve cultivated the Ninefold Thunder Blade to the Third Tier, but no matter how I train, I can’t grasp the Fourth Tier.” Luo Feng had no intention of hiding his progress with the Ninefold Thunder Blade; his strength was bound to attract attention. Revealing some advantages still had its benefits. As for his identity as a Psychic Master, Luo Feng would not expose it. Not only were the Vulture and Scorpion couple investigating the killer, but even before the ‘sky-high bounty’ incident, Luo Feng had always been reluctant to reveal his Psychic Master identity… because globally, Warriors were relatively rare, and Psychic Masters were far, far rarer than Warriors! Every Psychic Master would cause a lot of trouble. “Freak, you little freak, you’re practically a monster!” Wu Tong couldn’t help but punch Luo Feng’s chest. “I knew your talent was good; after all, you were recruited early by my Extreme Martial Arts Dojo. For your physical fitness to grow to ‘Beginner Tier Warrior level’ is exaggerated, but I’m not too surprised. There are others faster than you. But… for you to cultivate the Ninefold Thunder Blade to the Third Tier in just about half a year! That’s truly insane, a monster, a monster!” No one is perfect! Globally, there are indeed those whose physical fitness improves rapidly! For example, during the Grand Nirvana Period, in just a few short years, the world’s strongest, Hong, and the second strongest, Lei Shen, became existences surpassing the War God Tier, capable of flying through the air! To reach such a level in just a few years. One can imagine there are still some super geniuses in the world! However, comprehending the Ninefold Thunder Blade depends on one’s insight and so on. Luo Feng’s rapid physical improvement, coupled with cultivating the Ninefold Thunder Blade to the Third Tier in half a year, definitely makes him a prodigy. Globally, perhaps only one or two such prodigies appear each year. “Quick, test your speed, let me see.” Wu Tong enthusiastically went to switch on the speed testing machine. Luo Feng chuckled. Whoosh! His entire body instantly burst with speed, like an arrow shot from a bow, whistling past before coming to a stop. The speed testing machine also displayed a number—'128m/s'. “Not bad, it’s a relatively normal Beginner Tier Warrior level,” Wu Tong said, nodding with a smile. Luo Feng was also quite satisfied. He knew very well that as a Warrior’s physical fitness improved, their strength would continuously increase! Strength was fine, but speed… the further one progressed, the harder it would be to improve. Because the faster one moved, for example, when running, dodging, or moving, astonishing speeds would also generate terrifying air resistance! The faster the speed, the greater the resistance, making it increasingly difficult to improve speed further. “My speed is 128 meters per second, punching force around 10,000kg, and with the Ninefold Thunder Blade’s force exertion, about 28,000kg. My neural reaction test, however, is ‘Intermediate Tier Warrior, excellent’.” Luo Feng frequently underwent neural reaction test training, so he was well aware of his current level. With his micro-level movement technique, and a faint grasp of the ‘perfect level,’ Luo Feng’s current dodging ability was indeed astonishing. …While Luo Feng and Wu Tong were chatting, at the airport in the main urban area of Jiangnan Base City. The word ‘airport’ was quite unfamiliar. Since the Grand Nirvana Period, aerial beast hordes had become extremely numerous, increasing the demands on ‘flying passenger jets’ by countless folds. The cost of a single passenger jet was more exaggerated than an aircraft carrier before the Grand Nirvana. The so-called ‘flying passenger jets’ now had nothing to do with the general public. Indeed, there were still ‘flying passenger jets’ today, but every ticket for a flying passenger jet was an astronomical price for ordinary people! Even wealthy individuals were reluctant to buy a single ticket. …In the airport waiting area, the president of the Extreme Martial Arts Grand Hall and his three subordinate directors—the four giants of the Extreme Martial Arts Dojo in Jiangnan Base City—were all waiting. “They’re here!” Zhuge Tao said, smiling as he looked at the sky. Whoosh! A phantom-like blur appeared almost instantaneously above the airport, then rapidly decelerated, passed through the city’s defense system, and slowly descended. It was a colossal, entirely dark-blue, saucer-shaped passenger jet, with a diameter of thirty to forty meters. The dark-blue light reflecting off its surface was mesmerizing. Beep! The saucer-shaped passenger jet’s hatch opened, extending a ramp. The four giants of the Extreme Martial Arts Dojo immediately walked to the side of the ramp. Only individuals of status and influence were permitted to wait directly beside the aircraft, and there were only a dozen or so of them in total. The passenger jet’s occupants began descending the ramp one by one; each passenger was of extraordinary status. One must understand… such passenger jets were extremely rare worldwide! Because they had to fly through the air and ensure safety. Firstly, the outermost layer of the entire passenger jet’s body was typically made of materials comparable to Series 9 combat suits and Series 9 Warrior weapons. Although it was a thin layer, it could completely withstand attacks from high-level Lord-tier aerial beasts! At the same time, the entire aircraft was equipped with expensive onboard laser cannons! The onboard laser cannons could completely kill any ‘King-tier beasts’ that dared approach the flying passenger jet. All of this ensured the safety of the flying passenger jet. It also pushed its manufacturing cost to an astonishing level! For example, a Series 9 Blood Shadow Battle Blade cost 3 billion at full price in the dojo, 1.5 billion at half price, and 1 billion at the War God Palace’s best price. Its cost price was around 800-900 million. If only considering the Kro Alloy material used, it would be just over 600 million. And the outer layer of the entire passenger jet’s fuselage used precisely this kind of material. A saucer-shaped passenger jet with a diameter of thirty to forty meters, though only having a thin outer layer of material, weighed thirty tons due to its high density. The Kro Alloy material alone cost 200 billion Huaxia dollars! Adding the onboard laser cannons, and other components… The manufacturing cost of a single saucer-shaped passenger jet far exceeded that of an aircraft carrier before the Grand Nirvana. Moreover, the annual maintenance cost of these saucer-shaped passenger jets was equally astonishing! Every time they encountered an aerial beast horde attack during flight, they naturally needed to retaliate, consuming more energy. Therefore, the ticket price for these passenger jets was outrageously high! Even ordinary wealthy individuals were reluctant to take them. “Old Yang!” the president of the Extreme Martial Arts Grand Hall called out with a smile. A middle-aged man in a gray robe walked over, smiling. “Iron Hand, haha, long time no see.” “Old Yang, you’re here this time to verify Luo Feng’s abilities, aren’t you? A Beginner Tier Warrior at 19 years old is quite good, qualified for ‘Special Training.’ Come on, this matter is minor; let’s find a place to chat first, it’s been almost eight years, hasn’t it?” the president of the Extreme Martial Arts Grand Hall chuckled.
