Warrior's Privileges

“Yan Luo is right!” Jiang Nian looked at Luo Feng, speaking earnestly. “Luo Feng, your progress is incredibly fast. Within our Yian District Extreme Martial Arts Dojo, you’re arguably the fastest improving individual right now! You joined our Extreme Martial Arts Dojo at 16, and now at 18, your physical attributes already meet the Warrior standard. If you go to university, wasting four years of your energy on studies, that would be a terrible waste of your talent!

You must understand, the ages between 16 and 30 are when progress is fastest. The older you get, the harder it becomes to improve,” Jiang Nian said seriously.

Indeed, the four years of university are precisely the years when a Warrior’s cultivation can advance most rapidly.

To waste these four years on cultural education, from a Warrior’s perspective, is truly a great sin.

“Uh…” Luo Feng was a little dazed.

Good heavens, it seems my college entrance exam failure isn’t such a bad thing after all.

“Luo Feng, once you officially become a Warrior, how about joining our Extreme Martial Arts Dojo?” Jiang Nian smiled faintly. “As long as you become a Warrior of our Extreme Martial Arts Dojo, we will arrange a detached villa for you in the best location. Of course, you won’t be allowed to sell it. And you’ll also receive a monthly base salary of 20,000 Huaxia coins.”

“A detached villa? 20,000 base salary?” Luo Feng gasped.

20,000 isn’t much, but a detached villa is simply too extravagant.

Currently, the entire Huaxia Nation only has six major human Base Cities, which are also the six major cities. Land is extremely precious. Detached villas incur enormous luxury taxes. Nowadays, ordinary commercial housing costs tens of thousands to over a hundred thousand per square meter, which means most ordinary citizens live in subsidized housing.

If ordinary commercial housing is already so expensive, then stacked villas, townhouses, and oversized luxury homes cost hundreds of thousands of Huaxia coins per square meter.

As for detached villas, in this era, the state restricts them. You can’t just live in one if you have money. You need wealth, power, and special status to reside in one. And with the enormous luxury tax, the price of a typical detached villa would certainly exceed a million per square meter.

“Even a small detached villa would be around 300 square meters, putting its value at two to three hundred million,” Luo Feng held his breath. “Even if you can’t sell it, living in a detached villa with your family… that’s truly living a life worth living!”

Two to three hundred million, what kind of concept is that?

Even Zhang Haobai’s father, a wealthy man, probably doesn’t have a net worth that could match a single detached villa like this.

“Luo Feng. The benefits of our Extreme Martial Arts Dojo are not much different compared to joining a special national department,” Jiang Nian chuckled. “Warriors in national departments have base salaries, housing privileges, and just one more thing than us: a ‘license to kill.’ They can temporarily decide to kill ordinary people based on the situation. Of course, they can’t just kill indiscriminately; they still need to report the incident to their superiors later.”

“License to kill?” Luo Feng had heard of it before; Warriors in special national departments indeed had the power to kill on the spot.

“However, our Extreme Martial Arts Dojo also has its privileges. If an ordinary person provokes you, you can report it to the Dojo. After verification, the Dojo will arrange for the Jiangnan City Security Bureau to directly apprehend that ordinary person,” Jiang Nian smiled faintly. “Join our Dojo, and you’ll have everything—money, status! You can wholeheartedly pursue the limits of humanity, the limits of martial arts!”

Jiang Nian pointed to Yan Luo beside him. “My young brother Yan Luo here, just recently hunted a monster and earned nearly 100 million Earth coins, which translates to over 300 million Huaxia coins. With your talent, if you work hard, it’s not impossible for you to reach Yan Luo’s level in the future.”

Luo Feng was utterly stunned.

Good heavens… hunting one monster earned him that much? What level of monster did he hunt?

“Luo Feng, work hard. Your talent is truly exceptional; don’t waste it.” Jiang Nian smiled and patted Luo Feng’s shoulder.

“Kid, don’t slack off. I believe it’s possible for you to become a Warlord-level Warrior in the future. Then you’ll have money, status, beautiful women. Everything!” Yan Luo smiled faintly. “When that time comes, I’d be more than happy to go hunting monsters with you. Haha…” With that, Jiang Nian and Yan Luo, these two great Warriors, laughed and departed.

Luo Feng stood in the Training Hall, his mind a whirlwind.

Whether it was Instructor Jiang Nian or the mysterious red-haired youth Yan Luo, Luo Feng sensed a certain unrestrained freedom and arrogance in their casual conversation!

“Unrestrained freedom, arrogance?” A smile gradually appeared on Luo Feng’s face. “Yes, a man in this world should boldly venture forth and carve out a career for himself! The world’s strongest individual once said, ‘A soldier who doesn’t aspire to be a general isn’t a good soldier.’ A Warrior who doesn’t aspire to be the world’s strongest has no Warrior’s heart.”

“What’s the point of living a lifetime constrained and restricted?”

“I must achieve a world-shaking feat!”

At 18, an age when one’s values are gradually solidifying, Luo Feng’s mindset completely transformed after meeting Instructor Jiang Nian and the mysterious Warrior Yan Luo.

“Let’s venture forth!”

“The world’s strongest, Hong, and the second strongest, Lei Shen, founded the Extreme Martial Arts Dojo and Thunder Dojo respectively. Even the five great powers treat them as equals. If they can do it… why can’t a third person?” Luo Feng smiled as he walked out of the Training Hall.

A man has dreams; if he has dreams, he should pursue them!

Youth is capital!

Youth signifies limitless potential for the future! Everything requires one’s own effort and struggle!

…

June 28th, morning. The sky was clear and bright.

Luo Feng and Wei Wen were walking towards Yian District Third High School. Today was the day to collect their graduation certificates and university application forms.

“Ah Feng, are you really confident you can pass the ‘Prospective Warrior Assessment’?” Wei Wen couldn’t help but exclaim.

“Yes, on July 1st, I’m going to the Extreme Martial Arts Dojo headquarters in Yangzhou City—the Extreme Martial Arts Dojo—to take the Prospective Warrior Assessment there,” Luo Feng smiled.

The school was already in sight.

Luo Feng looked at the campus ahead, at the students scattered in twos and threes, and felt his mindset had shifted. “Huh? In the past, I considered myself one of them, but now, I seem to feel that they and I are already people from two different worlds. They’ll go to university, work hard, marry, and have children.”

“But my path is different from theirs.” Luo Feng and Wei Wen entered the school, heading to their respective classes.

Walking down the school building corridor.

“Senior Brother.”

“Senior Brother Luo Feng.” Some other third-year high school students enthusiastically greeted Luo Feng.

“I heard Luo Feng fainted during the college entrance exam.”

“What a shame, fainting in the exam hall.” Some people who saw Luo Feng from a distance whispered amongst themselves.

Luo Feng’s physical attributes had already reached the Warrior level, so his hearing was excellent. He clearly heard the students’ discussions from afar.

Class 5, Senior Year, was Luo Feng’s class.

“Luo Feng’s here.”

“Brother Luo.” Many other classmates were already in the classroom, greeting him warmly.

Luo Feng smiled and nodded.

Most of these old classmates had a good relationship with Luo Feng, but some were rather displeased with him. While outwardly enthusiastic, some old classmates in the corner were whispering to each other: “Luo Feng used to have such good grades and was an Advanced Student at the Martial Arts Hall. Who would’ve thought he’d take such a huge tumble this time, fainting in the exam hall. What bad luck.”

“That’s fate, who can you blame?”

In the past, Luo Feng was the pride of the class!

Good at academics, strong in martial arts—now that this genius had taken a big fall, these ordinary students naturally felt a surge of schadenfreude! Although they had a good relationship with Luo Feng, people are like that. When they see someone who was once outstanding suddenly fall on hard times, they can’t help but feel a secret satisfaction, thinking—‘You got what was coming to you!’

“Graduation certificates are being handed out, graduation certificates! And university application forms, everyone come and get them!” Three class cadres walked to the podium, holding graduation certificates and university application forms.

“Wang Yin.”

“Liu Xialong.”

The class cadres called out names one by one, distributing graduation certificates and university application forms.

“Luo Feng!” With that call, the classroom instantly fell silent, and almost everyone’s gaze landed on Luo Feng.

Everyone knew Luo Feng had fainted during the college entrance exam.

As for Luo Feng’s college entrance exam score, his ID number and exam number weren’t secrets. Students had already looked them up and knew his score was only four points shy of the undergraduate cutoff.

“Luo Feng.” Class monitor Qu Lin handed Luo Feng his graduation certificate and university application form.

“Ah Feng, Ah Feng, let’s go.” Wei Wen was standing at the classroom door.

“Wait for me.” Luo Feng casually exerted some force, *shhh*~~~ crumpling the university application form into a ball. With a flick of his wrist, the crumpled form flew directly into the trash can.

The previously noisy classroom fell silent!

All the classmates were stunned. This was the application form for college entrance exam, who would dare throw it away?

Suddenly, a freckled girl exclaimed in surprise, “Luo Feng, why did you throw away your application form? Aren’t you applying for universities?”

“How could Luo Feng be willing to go to a vocational college? He’s probably going to retake the exam next year.” Discussions immediately broke out.

Wei Wen, standing at the classroom door, couldn’t help but glare. “Go to a vocational college? Retake the exam? You guys actually thought of that? Ah Feng is about to take the ‘Prospective Warrior Assessment’! What damn vocational college, what retaking the exam?”

“Say less, let’s go.” Luo Feng pulled Wei Wen and left with him.

The students in the classroom immediately erupted in chatter. “What? Prospective Warrior Assessment?”

“Luo Feng, he’s taking the Prospective Warrior Assessment? Is that true? He can’t be that amazing, can he?”

“Wei Wen’s probably just bragging. Luo Feng only became an Advanced Student last year; how could he possibly be taking the Prospective Warrior Assessment this year?”

Subconsciously, these students were unwilling to believe that Luo Feng had met the physical requirements of a Warrior.

A Warrior… that’s a transcendent existence.
