Regenerative

There were five reward clauses in total, each offering enticing benefits. However, the requirements were equally demanding. “Combat Power Amplitude 12?” Luo Feng mused. “If I can reach Combat Power Amplitude 12, I’ll definitely be among the top twenty.” Having read the student handbook and conversed with senior students like Shi Jiang and Zhao Ruo, Luo Feng understood the difficulty and significance each Combat Power Amplitude number represented. 1-2 was Beginner, 4-8 was Advanced, and 8-16 was Elite! It was said that sometimes, over the entire five years of the training camp, not a single student could surpass Combat Power Amplitude 16! This meant that a Combat Power Amplitude of 14-15 could secure a spot in the top five of the training camp. Reaching 13 usually placed one in the top ten. And 12 typically meant a place in the top twenty. This was a general benchmark. “The rewards in these clauses are astonishing, but the conditions are harsh! This third clause, requiring me to reach Combat Power Amplitude 16 before January 1, 2060, offers so many rewards that, if calculated in money, it would be an incredible, astronomical sum.” Even beings beyond the Warlord level would hesitate to buy it with money! “But this clause demands I reach Combat Power Amplitude 16 in less than three years.” Luo Feng felt the pressure. It was hard to say if any student in the entire training camp currently possessed a Combat Power Amplitude of 16. However, in the history of the training camp, there had been students who graduated with a Combat Power Amplitude exceeding 16. “Of these five clauses, the two closest to me both mention reaching Combat Power Amplitude 12.” The earlier he achieved it, the higher the reward. If he reached it before August 1st, the reward would be incredibly impressive. If he achieved it within the current year, the reward would be slightly lower. If it took until next year or the year after, there would be no reward at all. “Finished reading?” a hoarse voice inquired. Across the tea table, Inspector Wang Tong looked at Luo Feng. “Yes, I have,” Luo Feng nodded. “Any objections?” Inspector Wang Tong asked calmly. Luo Feng respectfully replied, “Sir Inspector, I’d like to ask. For these last five reward clauses, could the equivalent value of treasures be exchanged for 30 billion worth of Water of Life?” His brother, Luo Hua, could only regrow his legs with the Water of Life, and Luo Feng had no idea when the next auction for it would be. He figured it would be better to acquire it directly from the Extreme Martial Arts Dojo. “No, it cannot be exchanged!” Inspector Wang Tong shook his head slightly. “No part of this contract can be altered.” “No part can be altered?” Luo Feng was surprised. Negotiating a contract shouldn’t be this overbearing, and the Extreme Martial Arts Dojo had invited him, with an Inspector personally present, clearly showing their sincerity. “Student Luo Feng, this contract was personally drafted by the Dojo Master himself, so no one, except the Dojo Master, has the authority to change it,” Inspector Wang Tong explained. “Dojo Master? Hong?” Luo Feng was stunned. For Luo Feng’s generation, they had grown up hearing the legends of Hong. He was the world’s strongest, the world’s richest, the absolute number one! The fact that this contract was personally drafted by Hong explained why even the Inspector dared not change it. “You really want the Water of Life?” Inspector Wang Tong observed the young man before him. “Yes,” Luo Feng nodded. “That’s not difficult. According to custom, there should be an auction for the Water of Life in the second half of this year. You can participate then,” Inspector Wang Tong said, fiddling with his prayer beads. His voice was hoarse, and his pace of speech was slow, drawing people into a Zen-like atmosphere. “Second half of this year?” Luo Feng was pleasantly surprised. Inspector Wang Tong said calmly, “This Water of Life isn’t a rare item to begin with. If the American military wasn’t so possessive, deliberately trying to extort money from other organizations and individuals, there would be no need for an auction at all.” Inspector Wang Tong didn’t bother keeping this secret from Luo Feng. “Not rare?” Luo Feng was astonished. “Isn’t it only made using the essence of a King-level monster, the ‘Earth Dragon King,’ as the main ingredient, combined with…” “Who told you that?” Inspector Wang Tong calmly countered. “The internet,” Luo Feng paused. Inspector Wang Tong picked up his teacup, took a small sip, and said, “How the Water of Life is made, why would such a secret be public? What’s on the internet is just a rumor spread by the American government to drive up prices, to make everyone believe it’s incredibly rare and precious.” “Rumors?” Luo Feng frowned slightly. “Remember this,” Inspector Wang Tong looked at Luo Feng. “Treasures that ordinary Warriors can find out about on the internet are almost always regenerative, and they have a clear price tag! Even if deliberately auctioned, they won’t fetch exorbitant prices.” “Regenerative?” Luo Feng’s heart stirred. Inspector Wang Tong nodded slightly. “Regenerative means that this kind of treasure, as long as money and resources are invested, can be manufactured again! For example, the ‘Water of Life’ is actually a potion that the American government can produce by investing a large amount of energy and materials into a medical device from an ancient civilization’s ruins!” Luo Feng was astonished. So it was a potion that could be produced by an ancient civilization’s medical device. “As long as there’s a large investment, a potion can be made. Do you think this potion can sell for sky-high prices?” Inspector Wang Tong chuckled. “For example, the 80 billion Dragon Blood, do you think… it’s really the heart’s blood of a King-level monster ‘Dragon’?” “Worldwide, there are no more than ten King-level monster Dragons on the entire Earth!” “However, at my Extreme Martial Arts Dojo, Dragon Blood is sold at a clear price! As long as you have money, our Extreme Martial Arts Dojo can sell it to you,” Inspector Wang Tong said. “Even if you want to buy ten portions, we can sell them to you. Tell me… if there aren’t even ten Dragons in the whole world, where does this Dragon Blood come from?” That’s right. Even if all the Dragons were killed, they couldn’t produce ten portions of Dragon Blood. Yet the Extreme Martial Arts Dojo could sell it at a clear price! “This Dragon Blood is indeed Dragon Blood.” “A portion of Dragon Blood made from the heart’s blood of a slain King-level monster ‘Dragon’ might even be less effective than the Dragon Blood our Dojo provides!” Inspector Wang Tong explained. “However, only the Dojo Master can create Dragon Blood. This is not a secret.” Luo Feng nodded, understanding. These publicly available, clearly priced items, though precious, were regenerative. As long as money and resources were invested, they could be reproduced! “True treasures, for example, those that are unique in the world and non-regenerative. Those are the ones that fetch sky-high prices!” Inspector Wang Tong stated. “But you won’t see such treasures on the internet. Because they are not publicly sold, nor publicly auctioned. For example, there are over ten kinds of body-strengthening items worldwide.” “Perhaps only Dragon Blood is sold at a clear price.” “Among the other ten-plus kinds, some are non-regenerative but even less effective than Dragon Blood!” “And some are even better than Dragon Blood!” “Dragon Blood doubles one’s strength. But there was one treasure that could increase strength by three or four times, even ten times. Unfortunately, that one treasure was consumed twenty years ago. It no longer exists in the world.” Luo Feng was deeply shaken. So, treasures were divided into ‘regenerative’ and ‘non-regenerative.’ Truly rare, unique items in the world would never be publicly sold. Figures like Hong and Lei Shen didn’t lack money. Whether through force or wealth, they would acquire such treasures immediately. Why would they allow such treasures to be publicly sold? “No wonder the Extreme Martial Arts Dojo’s rewards are so good.” “Dragon Blood is the Dojo’s own. Secret techniques? Seemingly sky-high, but actually sold by the Dojo itself. Combat uniforms, the Dojo only needs to cover the cost.” Although Luo Feng understood this, he also knew that the rewards were still substantial. Manufacturing Dragon Blood was certainly not done out of thin air; it required investment. Combat uniforms also required materials, and their cost alone was still astonishing. “This contract cannot be changed. Are you willing to sign it now?” Inspector Wang Tong rarely showed a hint of a smile. “Yes.” Luo Feng nodded and immediately signed the contract. “Sign this one too,” Inspector Wang Tong handed over another identical contract. “One for you to keep, one for my Dojo.” … After signing the contract, Luo Feng was now a core member of the Dojo, with a temporary annual allowance of 5 billion. His first goal was to strive to reach Combat Power Amplitude 12 before August 1st. “If I succeed, I’ll receive a portion of Dragon Blood!” Dragon Blood could double one’s strength and accelerate future cultivation. Luo Feng’s most important task now was to improve his physical fitness, as stronger physical fitness naturally led to stronger mental force! Becoming an Advanced Warlord-level Mental Force Master was Luo Feng’s ultimate goal! And Dragon Blood could speed up this process! … On the evening of April 30th, on the first floor of the training camp restaurant. Students of various skin colors were gathered in groups, eating dinner. “Luo Feng, you seem to be in a very good mood,” Zhao Ruo smiled. “Not bad,” Luo Feng grinned. Signing the contract was one reason, and the other was knowing that ‘Water of Life’ was a regenerative resource. If so, then with money, he wouldn’t have to worry about not being able to buy it! “Attention, students, attention, students.” Suddenly, a powerful voice echoed throughout the entire restaurant. All the students looked up to see a Huaxia Warrior instructor, his face filled with excitement, announcing loudly, “I have great news for everyone! Before this year’s ‘Life-and-Death Adventure’ departs, specifically on August 1st, our Extreme Martial Arts Dojo’s Grand Dojo Master, the world’s strongest, Hong, will personally visit the training camp!” “What?!” “OMG!” “It’s Hong, it’s Hong, Hong!” The entire restaurant erupted. Students from all over the world cried out in surprise and excitement, their faces filled with joy. Hong! On Earth today, he was like a god! No matter the country or region, whether Warrior or ordinary person, everyone knew one name—Hong! Everyone knew that the world’s strongest was Hong! “Hong.” “My God.” Some black students even jumped up and danced in excitement. All the students stood up, discussing animatedly. Oh my goodness, even in the elite training camp, it was rare to see Hong in person. Hong usually only visited the training camp once every few years. And now, unexpectedly, he would be coming this summer. “Luo Feng, it’s Hong!” Zhao Ruo grabbed Luo Feng, excitedly bouncing. “I’ve been here for three years and haven’t seen Hong yet.” “Yeah, yeah,” Luo Feng was also excited. He definitely had to see the world’s number one with his own eyes. “August 1st, before the Life-and-Death Adventure departs?” Luo Feng’s heart also pounded with excitement. “Yes, I’ll strive to reach Combat Power Amplitude 12 before then! Three months left!” Today was April 30th. Indeed, there were three months left until August 1st. And for Luo Feng to obtain the Dragon Blood, he couldn’t afford to slack off for a single moment during these three months.
