Chapter 32
Invitation from the Thunder Dojo
At the entrance of Monster Town, quasi-warriors emerged one after another. Almost every one of them was stained with blood, perhaps from monsters, or their own. Some quasi-warriors were even supported by their friends as they walked out. “Beep, beep—” A piercing sound rang out as heavy trucks drove out of the town, piled high with monster corpses. “Hey, these are the quasi-warriors’ bodies. Someone come and collect them.” One of the heavy trucks stopped nearby, and indeed, many bodies lay on it, some even dismembered, clearly having been largely devoured by monsters. The truck unceremoniously dumped these quasi-warrior bodies onto the ground. “Ah!” “Ah Gan!” “Xiao Yin!” Immediately, many of the quasi-warriors who had already exited cried out in alarm, some even throwing themselves onto the bodies and wailing. “What are you crying for?” A military officer’s stern voice cut through the air, drawing angry glares from many quasi-warriors. But the officer’s icy gaze swept across them. “When fighting monsters, how can there be no casualties? If you choose the path of a warrior, then be prepared for death! Why does human society grant warriors privileges? Not for your enjoyment, but because you kill countless monsters, rendering great service to humanity. That is why you are given privileges.” “Your status, your power… everything must be earned through desperate struggle!” “This trial arranged for you the weakest monsters, and they weren’t even group-activity types. If you can’t even pass this trial, how do you expect to survive in the wilderness area later?” The officer’s words silenced all the quasi-warriors, as they all knew a great deal about monsters. Among monsters, the most troublesome were the ‘group-activity types,’ such as the ‘Lion-Mastiff Dog’ among canine monsters, which always moved in packs of dozens. Even Intermediate Warriors wouldn’t dare provoke them. “Two monster left ears. Next, left arm injured.” “Lu Fang? Hmm, three monster left ears, not bad. Next.” Beside the town entrance, every quasi-warrior who emerged went to hand in the monster left ears they had hunted, to prove the number of monsters they had killed. “Look, Luo Feng is out.” “It’s Luo Feng, the one recruited early by the Extreme Martial Arts Dojo.” “I wonder how many monsters he killed.” “Strong physical fitness doesn’t necessarily mean he’s good at killing monsters.” For a moment, a large number of the quasi-warriors who had already emerged focused their gaze on Luo Feng, who had just walked out of the entrance. Luo Feng, Wan Dong, and Ma Xiao were among the quasi-warriors recruited early in this batch. Word spread quickly, and almost everyone in this group recognized the three of them. “Huh?” Luo Feng was momentarily stunned to find himself being stared at by so many quasi-warriors the moment he emerged. “You’re Luo Feng, right? Give me the monster left ears you hunted.” Three military officers sat in front, two of them using laptops. One of the officers looked at Luo Feng. “Yes.” Luo Feng nodded, taking off his backpack. Immediately, the gazes of the surrounding quasi-warriors were completely fixed on Luo Feng’s backpack. They were all curious… just how many monsters had Luo Feng killed? “Whoosh!” Luo Feng directly emptied his pack, and a large number of monster left ears fell into the metal pot beside him, forming a small pile that filled more than half of the pot. “So many?” “How many monsters did this guy kill?” The quasi-warriors watching from a distance were greatly astonished. At this moment, the assessing officer counted the monster ears. A moment later, the officer smiled at Luo Feng: “Luo Feng, excellent. A total of 36 monster left ears. So far, you are temporarily the one who has hunted the most monsters in this batch. And, no injuries either.” “Next.” The officer turned to the next person, and Luo Feng walked away with a smile. “I passed the warrior combat assessment. I’m a true warrior now,” Luo Feng thought, feeling exhilarated. Next, Luo Feng also stood in the crowd, watching the people who came out later hand in their monster left ears. Some of them had no injuries at all, but most had minor injuries that would heal with ten days to half a month of rest. There were even quasi-warriors who were severely injured or crippled. “Yang Wu, hmm, good, three monster left ears, slight injury to the left arm. Next.” Yang Wu also returned safely. “Brother Yang,” Luo Feng called out from the crowd. “Crazy!” Yang Wu laughed heartily and ran over. “How are you? How many monsters did you kill?” “Thirty-six,” Luo Feng and Yang Wu moved to a corner. “Thirty-six? Damn, Crazy, you’re insane. Those monsters are really hard to kill.” Yang Wu’s eyes widened. “Especially those Tiger-Mastiff Dogs, they’re faster than me, not to mention their strength! Monsters of the same rank are generally much stronger than human warriors. I barely managed to kill three.” Luo Feng smiled. H-grade monsters were indeed not to be underestimated. Even an Intermediate Warrior would be in great danger facing seven or eight H-grade monsters. Luo Feng himself had only dared to hone his movement technique with the aid of his mental force. “Wan Dong!” “It’s Wan Dong, the genius quasi-warrior recruited early by the Thunder Dojo. I wonder how many monster left ears he hunted. Compared to Luo Feng, I wonder who’s stronger.” “Indeed, the only one who can compare with Luo Feng is this Wan Dong.” A buzz of discussion came from the front, causing Luo Feng and Yang Wu, who were hiding behind, to look up in surprise. Yang Wu exclaimed, “Wan Dong is only coming out now? Crazy, they say Wan Dong’s physical fitness is no less than yours. I wonder how many monsters he killed this time.” At this moment, the quasi-warriors standing in front stared at Wan Dong’s backpack. And some quasi-warriors in the back of the crowd perked up their ears to listen. “There’s a pile of monster left ears.” “It seems like a lot.” A commotion suddenly broke out in front, followed by the assessing officer’s voice— “Wan Dong, hmm, a total of 51 monster left ears. Haha, you’ve now surpassed Luo Feng. You are temporarily the one who has hunted the most monsters in this wave of quasi-warriors.” “51?” “He actually has so many more than Luo Feng?” “This Wan Dong is truly formidable, 51 monsters, that’s terrifying.” The quasi-warriors, who had already experienced the might of monsters, were all amazed. “Crazy, this Wan Dong actually has more than you,” Yang Wu said with some awe. “Does killing more matter?” Luo Feng smiled indifferently. He had spent most of last night honing his movement technique. If he truly wanted to kill the weakest H-grade monsters, with Luo Feng’s strength, he could easily hunt over a hundred of the weakest monsters in a single night by ambushing isolated ones. “Luo Feng.” A voice called out. Luo Feng turned to see a big-bearded military officer smiling. “Come with me. A friend wants to see you, he’s in the lounge up ahead.” “Oh?” Luo Feng was a little puzzled… See him? Luo Feng didn’t hesitate and followed the big-bearded military officer. Before entering the lounge, Luo Feng also took off his blood-stained combat uniform, washed up, and changed into clean, fresh clothes before entering the lounge. … Inside the lounge, a burly man sat with his eyes closed. Suddenly, he opened his eyes, and his gaze, like lightning, fixed on Luo Feng. “It’s him?” Luo Feng was startled. He knew this man. It was the person who had been talking to Supervisor Zhuge earlier, one of the four giants of the Thunder Dojo in Jiangnan Base City. “My name is Wang Heng, a supervisor of the Thunder Dojo Grand Hall,” the burly man said with a smile. “Luo Feng, sit.” He and this supervisor sitting opposite each other? Luo Feng was secretly astonished… He now clearly understood how high this supervisor’s status was. One could say that a supervisor of the Grand Hall, in terms of status, could rival a Warlord-level expert! They possessed astonishing power. In Jiangnan Base City, this burly man in front of him could almost be said to have immense influence. “Why aren’t you sitting? Afraid I’ll eat you? Haha…” The burly man laughed heartily. Luo Feng smiled and sat down in front of the burly man, saying with a laugh, “Mr. Wang, may I ask why you wished to see me?” “It’s simple.” The burly man smiled, “I’ve investigated your family background. You come from an ordinary family; your father is an ordinary decorator, and your mother is just a supermarket sales assistant. You didn’t have good conditions, yet you’ve reached this point at just 18 years old. It’s truly remarkable.” Luo Feng showed a complex smile. Indeed, he had worked hard for this for a very long time. “I admire you greatly, and I believe you have a very promising future.” “I formally invite you, Luo Feng, to join my Thunder Dojo!” The burly man looked at Luo Feng. “I, I’ve already signed a contract with the Extreme Martial Arts Dojo,” Luo Feng said, shaking his head with a smile. The burly man shook his head dismissively: “A contract? Since it’s a contract, it can be breached! It’s just a breach of contract fee. According to warrior regulations, the maximum breach of contract fee cannot exceed 300 million. I believe your value far exceeds that price! Our Thunder Dojo will pay this breach of contract fee for you!” “Furthermore, after you join, I will arrange a special training contract from our Thunder Dojo global headquarters for you!” The burly man smiled. “Every year, fewer than ten warriors worldwide receive this special training contract! Each one is an absolute elite-tier genius. This year, more than half has passed, and our Thunder Dojo has only issued three special training contracts: one to an Advanced Warrior from the European Union, only 20 years old. Another to a genius from South America, who is a Mental Force User! The third is a 16-year-old Intermediate Warrior from our Huaxia Nation’s Jinghua Base City. You are the fourth!” Luo Feng couldn’t help but be greatly astonished. These three individuals were all incredibly abnormal. Clearly, even though Wan Dong and Ma Xiao were recruited early, they still weren’t qualified for this ‘special training contract.’ Was he qualified? In truth, Luo Feng’s physical fitness alone wouldn’t qualify him for such a contract. But on top of that, if you added one more thing—having comprehended the micro-level movement technique! This was enough for Luo Feng to receive a special training contract. After all, comprehending the micro-level movement technique at 18 years old was simply incredible. “As long as you join my Thunder Dojo, I will give you such a contract. I will send you to our Thunder Dojo global headquarters for training, and you even have the chance to receive personal guidance from the legendary Lei Shen,” the burly man said with a smile. “Luo Feng, our Thunder Dojo is sincerely inviting you. Join our Thunder Dojo!”
