After Luo Xia completed the nerve reaction test, this prospective martial warrior assessment came to a successful end. Out of the nine people who had participated in the assessment, only four had passed.
Luo Feng, Luo Xia, Yang Wu, and another young man named Bai Yang.
This Bai Yang was the same white-clothed youth that Luo Xia and Luo Feng had seen in the small bar before.
"...After the assessment, there are still things like signing a practical combat assessment contract. However, the following matters will be handled by your original instructors."
Head Instructor Wu Tong said, smiling at the silver-haired, black-robed man who had been standing at the edge. "Captain, sorry to have kept you waiting. Let's go outside."
Captain?
Luo Feng and the others were shocked, looking towards the silver-haired, black-robed man. Wu Tong was the overall head of the Limit Martial Arts Dojo in Yangzhou City, holding a very high position. This silver-haired, black-robed man was actually Wu Tong's captain?
However, this wasn't what surprised them the most.
What surprised Luo Feng and the others the most was that they realized, if Wu Tong hadn't spoken, they wouldn't have noticed the man at all from the moment they entered the training hall until now.
It was as if he didn't exist.
This feeling was terrifying.
If they were to fight, and before they even exchanged blows, the opponent's gaze alone could make someone's mind go blank, causing them to fall into a daze. When they finally came to their senses, their heart might already be pierced!
Who exactly was this silver-haired, black-robed man?
Luo Feng and the others were shocked and puzzled.
Luo Xia, however, wasn't too surprised. He had noticed the black-robed man in the corner of the hall the moment he entered, thanks to his powerful Spiritual Reader abilities.
He had just kept a low profile.
At that moment, the silver-haired, black-robed man looked towards Luo Xia and the others. In an instant, Luo Xia felt as if the man's eyes were as vast as the starry sky. He was momentarily stunned, but quickly recovered.
Standing beside Luo Xia, Luo Feng also jolted awake a half-beat later.
"What's going on?"
Luo Feng noticed that after the black-robed man glanced at them, besides him and his brother quickly regaining their senses, Yang Wu and Bai Yang's expressions had become vacant!
Seeing that Luo Xia had cleared his head instantly, and Luo Feng had followed shortly after, the silver-haired, black-robed man looked at the two brothers with surprise.
"You two youngsters have great talent! Keep up the good work!"
Following this, the black-robed man smiled and encouraged Luo Xia and Luo Feng.
Wu Tong also nodded in satisfaction, "Not only are your physical qualities up to par, your willpower is also good, very good!"
After speaking, he instructed the other instructors to handle the subsequent signing matters, then left the scene with the black-robed man.
At this time, Yang Wu and Bai Yang regained consciousness.
Yang Wu looked dazed, "What happened? What was going on just now? It felt like I was dreaming…"
Bai Yang was also bewildered, "What happened to me? It felt like I was sleepwalking."
They looked at each other, suddenly remembering what had just happened, and were scared stiff.
"That black-robed man was so scary." Luo Feng whispered to Luo Xia, "I can't even remember what he looked like now, just a pair of eyes."
Luo Xia's eyes flashed, and he replied, "Big brother, the black-robed man just now was probably a Spiritual Reader."
Luo Feng was shocked, "Spiritual Reader?"
If he remembered correctly, Spiritual Readers were the most unique and powerful beings among martial artists, possessing incredible spiritual power.
They could manipulate objects from a distance and launch mental attacks; there might not even be one Spiritual Reader among ten thousand martial artists.
Spiritual Readers were extremely rare and exceedingly powerful! And his younger brother, Luo Xia, seemed to have the potential to become a Spiritual Reader! Luo Feng remembered when he was very young, he had accidentally seen his younger brother pick up a pacifier from a distance, which seemed to be the ability of a Spiritual Reader to manipulate objects from afar!
Thinking of this, Luo Feng couldn't help but glance at his younger brother.
Luo Xia put his index finger to his mouth, shushing him. Luo Feng nodded secretly and looked at Jiang Nian and the others who were walking over. He heard Jiang Nian and the other instructors say, "Alright, the four of you come with us now, to the training hall."
So a group of people walked out of the nerve reaction testing room and came to the training hall.
Next, the instructor from the Northern Post District took out four contracts and said to Luo Xia and the others:
"This is the martial artist combat assessment application contract."
"For the martial artist combat assessment, once you participate, if you are killed by a Monster during the process, it has nothing to do with Limit Martial Arts Dojo!"
"Of course, the death rate in the martial artist combat assessment is very low."
Luo Xia and the other three received the contracts and carefully reviewed the contents – this was a matter of life and death, and they needed to treat it seriously.
"The death rate is low, but the disability rate is very high."
A burly, bald instructor spoke in a low voice to Luo Xia and the others about the information of the combat assessment—
"You are going to fight Monsters in the combat assessment. Of course, the Monsters you will be fighting are all of the lowest rank. When you go to dangerous areas to hunt Monsters on your own in the future, the danger will be much more terrifying than the assessment. If you can't even pass this stage, then you shouldn't be a martial artist."
Luo Xia and his elder brother Luo Feng exchanged glances.
The contract was very simple. The general content was that in the combat assessment, if the participant unfortunately died or was injured, Limit Martial Arts Dojo would not be responsible.
"Sign it," Luo Feng said to Luo Xia.
Without hesitation, the two brothers immediately signed their names on the contract.
Yang Wu and Bai Yang, standing beside them, also didn't back down. They signed their names on the contract as well. If they weren't striving to become martial artists, they wouldn't have come here in the first place.
Seeing that Luo Xia had already signed the contract, Jiang Nian smiled and said,
"Alright. Today is July 1st. There's still a month until the practical assessment. You all need to prepare yourselves well during this month. By the way——"
Saying this, he walked over to a nearby keyboard and quickly pressed some buttons. Suddenly, a large transparent screen appeared on the wall of the training hall.
On the screen was an article.
——"Genetic Yuan Energy Cultivation Method".
Also known as: Five Hearts Towards Heaven Cultivation Method.
"Back during the Great Nirvana Era, humans were infected by the RR Virus, which triggered the production of antibodies. This resulted in the natural alteration and optimization of the body's genes."
Jiang Nian explained—
"When genes are optimized to a certain degree, they can absorb the subtle energy from the universe, integrating it into every cell of the body."
"During this process, the genes, bones, cells, blood, internal organs, skin, and so on will undergo continuous evolution!"
"Your bones can become ten or even a hundred times harder than diamond, and your internal organs can become so powerful that you can hold your breath underwater for half an hour, or even longer!"
"All of this depends on absorbing energy from the universe and integrating it into each cell, becoming your own energy. This is—Genetic Yuan Energy!"
Jiang Nian pointed at the article on the screen; "This is the method for cultivating Genetic Yuan Energy—the Five Hearts Towards Heaven Cultivation Method!"
Luo Xia looked at the article on the screen.
The Five Hearts Towards Heaven Cultivation Method had been made public worldwide when it was created, in order to better identify talented martial artists, as it was the most basic cultivation method.
But even the most basic method wasn't something everyone could cultivate. One needed to have reached the standards of a quasi-warrior to begin practicing it.
Above the Five Hearts Towards Heaven Cultivation Method were even more advanced Guiding Techniques. These Guiding Techniques were the closely guarded secrets of various factions and martial arts dojos. One could only obtain them by paying a certain price!
Luo Xia had seen the Five Hearts Towards Heaven Cultivation Method online a long time ago and, through it, had even understood a more advanced Guiding Technique! However, he had never practiced it, always using Body Tempering Techniques for his training.
Because he wanted to build a solid foundation.
To build a towering building from the ground up, one must create a sufficiently strong foundation! He believed that after he used Body Tempering Techniques to make his foundation even better, he would definitely gain a huge improvement when he practiced the Five Hearts Towards Heaven Cultivation Method!
