After Luo Xia finished talking with his parents, he returned to his room.
This detached villa had many rooms, so the three brothers each had their own.
Back in his room, Luo Xia started operating online, making various investments, buying and selling. Before long, his linked account had over a million Chinese Yuan.
Meanwhile, Luo Feng and Luo Hua continued studying and reviewing.
It was not until the evening.
Luo Feng glanced at the clock hanging on the living room wall. Seeing that it was almost six o'clock in the evening, he stood up and said to Luo Hongguo and Gong Xinlan: "Dad, Mom, it's getting late, I'm going to tutor."
"Alright, go ahead. Be careful on the way."
Gong Xinlan instructed him and watched Luo Feng leave the house.
After Luo Feng went out, Luo Xia heard the commotion and poked his head out of the window, shouting to Luo Feng below:
"Big brother, I won't wait for you later, I'm going straight to the martial arts gym!"
Luo Feng looked up at him and nodded, "Alright, you go ahead! I'll go after I finish tutoring!"
Limit Martial Arts Gym.
This was the world's recognized number one martial arts gym on Earth, founded by the world's number one powerhouse, Hong.
There were branches of the Limit Martial Arts Gym all over the world.
Luo Xia arrived at the main entrance of the Limit Martial Arts Gym. He took out his student ID from his pocket and swiped it. After the small door in front of him opened, he stepped into the behemoth.
The Limit Martial Arts Gym was huge, covering a vast area, even larger than some universities before the Great Nirvana period. Under the setting sun, it looked like a giant monster crouching there.
Inside the martial arts gym, three giant silver-white buildings stood, resembling three spaceships.
These three buildings were the teaching buildings for the Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced students.
"Senior Brother!"
"Hello, Senior Brother!"
"Senior Brother, you're here!"
Walking on the road inside the martial arts gym, he met many of the martial arts gym students.
Most of these students were older than Luo Xia.
But because he was an Advanced Student, they were only Low-Level and Mid-Level students and had to call him Senior Brother.
Luo Xia strolled into the third floor of the Advanced Student teaching building.
This was a large martial arts training hall that was over a hundred meters long and wide. When he walked in, more than a dozen people were training here.
At this time, the Advanced Students who came to the martial arts gym to train were mostly people whose families weren't very wealthy.
Because the rich people all built a training room at home themselves.
"Prodigy!"
"The Madman's Prodigy younger brother is here!"
Luo Xia received enthusiastic greetings the moment he entered the large martial arts hall.
"Brother Li, Brother Yang, Sister Hua."
He responded with a smile.
Yang Wu, the one Luo Xia called "Brother Yang," saw that Luo Xia was alone and asked with some puzzlement, "Where's that madman of a brother of yours?"
Because not long ago, Luo Feng had gotten angry and defeated three wealthy Advanced Students in a row at the martial arts gym, earning him the nickname "Madman" from Yang Wu and the others.
And Luo Xia, because of his high talent, became an Advanced Student at the age of sixteen, and was called a "Prodigy" by them.
Luo Xia answered with a smile, "My brother went to tutor someone; he'll be here in a little while."
After chatting with Yang Wu for a while, he walked to the side of the martial arts hall, where a Punching Power Test Machine was placed.
Luo Xia prepared to test his punching power.
"The standard punching power for an Advanced Warrior is 4000 kg. Last time I tested, I barely reached 4008 kg. After a month of training, I wonder how much I've improved now."
Muttering to himself, Luo Xia slowly took a deep breath, his muscles adjusting to their optimal state with each breath.
The next moment, he was like a lazy tiger suddenly erupting, his feet planted, his body like a drawn bowstring. His fist, whistling through the air, slammed into the punching power test machine with a loud bang.
The punching target shook violently.
At the same time, the number on the punching power test machine's screen appeared:
4115 kg.
Yang Wu, who was not far away, heard the commotion and exclaimed in surprise, "Xia, have you broken through your punching power again? That was a big impact!"
No one else was around when Luo Xia threw that punch, so no one knew he had hit such a terrifying number of [4115 kg].
Hearing Yang Wu's shout, Luo Xia smiled. Then, focusing his mind, he threw a punch at the punching target. This time, he held back a lot of his strength, and the number displayed on the screen was only [945 kg].
Yang Wu had already walked over. Seeing the number on the screen, a look of extreme surprise appeared on his face, which was marked by a hideous scar.
"Xia! Your punching power has already broken through 900 kg?!"
His voice attracted the attention of others, and they all gathered around. Seeing the numbers on the screen, everyone was surprised.
"As expected of a Prodigy!"
"If I remember correctly, three months ago, you only punched with 855 kg of force, right?"
"In less than three months, you've increased your punching power to 945 kg. Xia, you're truly a Prodigy!"
"Our Limit Martial Arts Gym won't have the youngest warrior, will we!?"
Everyone surrounded Luo Xia, constantly expressing their surprise and excitement.
Yang Wu even patted Luo Xia's shoulder with some excitement, and said loudly:
"Good kid! Your talent is amazing! Even better than those rich kids who have all sorts of cultivation resources from birth! As expected, there are only wrong names, no wrong nicknames! You're really a Prodigy!"
Luo Xia could only smile at this, and said, "You're flattering me, I still need to keep working hard."
"If you keep working hard, you'll probably fly to the sky!"
An older sister shouted with a smile.
Then everyone burst into laughter.
After chatting for a while, the crowd dispersed to continue practicing.
Perhaps it was the stimulus brought by Luo Xia that made everyone work even harder after continuing their training.
And Luo Xia didn't continue testing his speed. The standard speed for an Advanced Warrior was 60 meters per second.
He should have met the standard.
If he continued testing, he would definitely be seen, and then he wouldn't be able to hide his true strength.
Luo Xia also began to train.
He was alone, performing various movements. These movements looked very strange, like some of the actions from Ancient Yoga, but with some differences because the movements Luo Xia was doing were more in line with ergonomics.
These were warm-up exercises that Luo Xia had comprehended from Ancient Yoga and Ancient Chinese Martial Arts.
He performed eighteen strange movements in a row, warming up all the muscles and bones in his body before he began his official training.
The next movements he practiced were also a body tempering technique he'd gleaned from various ancient texts and martial artist videos.
This set of body tempering techniques consisted of thirty-two movements, each of which was extremely difficult for a normal person to perform.
Even Luo Xia, the creator, found it extremely strenuous to complete these movements! Of course, the body tempering technique he had comprehended and created was also extremely powerful; otherwise, he wouldn't have possessed the strength of an Advanced Warrior at the young age of sixteen!
With each movement, the cells in Luo Xia's body were slowly but steadily absorbing the surrounding cosmic energy. They were constantly evolving, growing stronger, and enhancing his overall physical qualities.
"Heaven and Earth as the Furnace, All Things as Copper."
This ancient saying was the core of the body tempering technique that Luo Xia had comprehended. He regarded himself as a piece of steel, a copper ingot, interacting with heaven and earth for refinement.
