July 1st.
Early in the morning, Luo Xia and his elder brother Luo Feng left their home. They took the Line 11 subway to Zhong'an Road Station, then transferred to Line 1, arriving at the city center of Yangzhou City.
After exiting the subway station, the two brothers walked for another ten minutes before reaching the headquarters of the Limit Martial Arts School in Yangzhou City – the Limit Martial Arts Hall!
They had left home just after six in the morning, and now, arriving at their destination, it was already eight o'clock.
"So, this is the legendary Bright Moon Estate?" Luo Feng said, looking at the entrance of the quiet residential area ahead, filled with emotion.
The Limit Martial Arts Hall they were going to enter was located within this Bright Moon Estate.
"The guards at the gate are soldiers with real guns."
Luo Xia also murmured to himself.
Luo Feng smiled and said to his third brother, "After all, the residents of this estate are all martial artists' families, so security must be top-notch. Xia, let's go over."
Luo Xia nodded and walked towards the gate with his elder brother.
"Sir, please step back. Once you enter the yellow line area, we have the right to shoot you on sight!"
As they approached the gate, a soldier warned Luo Feng and Luo Xia.
As the elder brother, Luo Feng naturally stepped forward. He looked at the vigilant guard and said:
"Gentlemen, my brother and I are both senior students of the Limit Martial Arts School. I am Luo Feng, and this is my brother Luo Xia. We're here to take the Pro-Martial Warrior test."
"Oh?"
In the guard room next to the Bright Moon Estate, an elderly man with white hair emerged. He held a handheld computer and looked at the two brothers, saying, "You youngsters are early birds, arriving before eight o'clock. It's promising that you're taking the Pro-Martial Warrior assessment at such a young age!"
"Come, give me your IDs and advanced student certificates to check. If there's no problem, you two can go in."
Luo Xia and Luo Feng handed over their IDs and advanced student certificates.
Beep—beep—
The IDs and advanced student certificates were scanned on the handheld computer. Then, Luo Xia and Luo Feng's basic information appeared on the screen in sequence.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, the old man looked up at Luo Xia in surprise, "You're only sixteen?"
As soon as he said this, the soldiers around them also looked at Luo Xia in surprise.
Sixteen years old?
"You're taking the Pro-Martial Warrior assessment at sixteen?"
The old man asked in disbelief.
Luo Xia blinked and inquired, "Sir, is there an age limit for the Pro-Martial Warrior assessment?"
The old man instinctively shook his head, responding, "There's no age limit for the Pro-Martial Warrior assessment. Anyone whose physical condition meets the requirements can participate, but..."
He sized up Luo Xia, smiling. "I've been guarding this gate for half my life, and this is the first time I've seen a kid as young as you taking the Pro-Martial Warrior assessment."
Then, the old man looked at Luo Feng and said, "Are you his brother? Eighteen years old... That's young enough too. You two brothers are truly surprising. I hope you both pass the assessment today."
With that, he returned the ID cards and advanced student certificates to Luo Xia and Luo Feng.
"Thank you, sir."
Luo Xia and Luo Feng bowed to the old man to express their thanks.
The old man smiled and nodded, then waved at the others, saying, "Let them in."
The gate to the Bright Moon Estate slowly opened. A soldier holding an assault rifle walked forward and said to Luo Xia and Luo Feng:
"Gentlemen, I will take you to the Limit Martial Arts Hall. Please do not wander around after entering the estate! You only have permission to enter the Limit Martial Arts Hall. You are not allowed to enter the residential area for martial artist families!"
He looked at Luo Xia and Luo Feng with a stern expression.
"If you violate the rules, even if I don't act, the other soldiers patrolling the estate will."
Luo Xia and Luo Feng exchanged glances and nodded, indicating they understood the rules.
Under the guidance of the soldier, the two entered the estate. What greeted their eyes were individual villas that looked like small gardens, with various rockeries, pools, lawns, and flowers adorning them, making them exceptionally beautiful.
Bright Moon Estate's central area, the location of the Limit Martial Arts Hall.
The soldier who had brought Luo Xia and Luo Feng had already left.
Luo Xia looked at the massive structure before him and said to Luo Feng with a sigh:
"This is the Limit Martial Arts Hall. It's twice as big as the Limit Martial Arts School where we train!"
Luo Feng nodded in agreement, and walked forward, "Let's go in."
The two entered the hall, and a sweet-looking young woman immediately came forward with a smile, "Are you gentlemen here to take the Pro-Martial Warrior assessment?"
"Yes, we are."
Luo Feng nodded in response to the young woman's question.
The young woman bowed slightly, gesturing with her hand as she said to Luo Xia and Luo Feng, "In that case, please wait in the small bar over there. The Pro-Martial Warrior assessment will officially begin at ten o'clock this morning!"
Luo Xia nodded to Luo Feng, bid farewell to the young woman, and walked towards the bar.
There were already three people in the bar. Two of them were talking, and the other was sitting silently on the sofa.
The arrival of Luo Feng and Luo Xia attracted the attention of the three. They looked over and nodded politely.
After Luo Xia sat down, he smiled at Luo Feng and said, "Big brother, do you want a drink?"
Luo Feng patted Luo Xia. "What drinking! The assessment is about to start!"
Luo Xia leaned back in the sofa, speaking in a relaxed tone. "I just see you're a little nervous, maybe a drink would help you relax."
"I'm not nervous." Luo Feng replied simply, then closed his eyes, conserving his energy, and stopped talking to Luo Xia.
Luo Xia saw that his elder brother wasn't paying him any attention, so he looked at the other three people. Among them, except for one person in white clothes who looked young, the other two were probably over thirty years old.
The person in white was talking with another man about the villas in Bright Moon Estate.
As time passed, three more people arrived at the bar.
These three people were unfamiliar to both Luo Xia and Luo Feng. They were quite old, looking to be over thirty years old, and one of them might even be forty.
"Ha! Luo Feng! Xia!" Suddenly, a loud voice rang out.
Luo Xia and Luo Feng were startled. They turned their heads and saw Yang Wu, who had a scar on his face, walking over. He asked them, "Are you also here to take the Pro-Martial Warrior assessment?"
"Brother Yang."
Luo Xia and Luo Feng stood up to greet him.
Yang Wu patted Luo Feng and Luo Xia on their shoulders, chuckling, "With the physical fitness you both showed before, you'll definitely pass today! Good luck!"
Luo Xia smiled and said, "You'll definitely pass this time too, Brother Yang!"
Yang Wu laughed heartily, "Thanks for the good wishes. It's embarrassing to say, but last time I tested, I was just a bit short on speed, or you wouldn't be seeing me here today."
"Quiet down."
A voice came from the center of the hall.
Luo Xia and the other eight people looked towards the center of the hall and saw a middle-aged man in loose training clothes standing there, saying to them:
"Come on, follow me upstairs, and we'll take the Pro-Martial Warrior assessment right away. Remember, be on your best behavior once you're upstairs. An old friend of our Yangzhou City's Chief Instructor is visiting today, so don't cause trouble."
The Chief Instructor's old friend?
Luo Xia and Luo Feng exchanged glances, then saw the middle-aged man already heading for the second floor. They quickly followed.
Brothers, I got stung by a big hornet today, and it hurts like hell! I don't know if I'll be any better tomorrow... Sigh, what a disaster!
