"Director."
"Greetings, Director."
The Director smiled lightly, looking at Xu Feng and asking.
"Bai Bo, this should be the genius you mentioned, right? Eighteen years old, really quite young."
Bai Bo respectfully replied.
"Yes, Director. He is the genius Jiang Nian discovered in the Yian District. We only tested his strength and quickly brought him over for further tests."
The smile on the Director's face became much friendlier. Limit Martial Arts Gym wasn't without rivals; Thunderbolt Martial Arts Gym was their competitor.
The competition between the two sides was quite intense. It was best to bring in any promising talents directly. The Director didn't fault Jiang Nian for his haste.
Such a genius isn't easily found; a large base city might only see one or two in a year at most.
After they confirm, they'll contact their superiors. Then, there's a chance to go to the Limit Martial Arts Gym's basic training camp, or even the Elite Training Camp, which is a God of War preparation team.
Thinking of this, the Director felt a hint of eagerness. He stood up, smiling, and said, "Let's go, let's go test first. I'm very curious about Xu Feng."
Bang! Drip! Drip! Drip! The punching power test machine displayed a value – 3120kg.
3089kg!
3100kg!
Finally, the final value stabilized around 3102kg. Xu Feng also stopped, panting, but that feeling of exhilaration made him feel very good.
"Clap, clap, clap."
The Director beamed, clapping his hands excitedly. "Excellent, Xu Feng, you truly are a genius."
The Director stared, a little lost in thought, at the numbers on the punch strength testing machine.
The sound of the punch strength testing machine echoed, and the target never stopped shaking, with the numbers on the screen constantly changing.
His speed and reaction speed were the same as the previous results.
"At 18 years old to reach this level of strength, and with the Subtle Movement Technique. Not bad, you're certainly qualified to join the basic training camp."
Xu Feng smiled naturally. Although this level of achievement wasn't anything to boast about yet.
But he wasn't a strong person yet. If he could join the Limit Martial Arts Gym sooner, he could start life-and-death combat earlier.
After all, the Universe Peak Genius Battle in the original novel would begin in about 10 years.
The protagonist, Luo Feng, in the original novel, only began to soar in cultivation after joining the Virtual Universe Company through the Genius Battle.
After all, the Virtual Universe Company possessed the Four Secret Realms,
52 Chaos Steles, and the teachings of various King-level experts, Venerables, and even Universe Masters!
It also had various top-tier treasures like the Blood Luo Crystal that weren't publicly available.
This had always been Xu Feng's greatest hope!
Missing this genius battle meant he'd likely never catch up to City Lord Luo's cheat-like leveling speed!
To enter the Elite Training Camp early, should he reveal his Spiritualist talent?
"Director, I've actually been hiding my strength."
"Oh?" The Director's eyes lit up.
"I awakened my Spiritualist talent last night. I was wondering if I could join the Elite Training Camp with this new talent."
"You even know about the Elite Training Camp. Looks like you've done your homework!"
The Director paused.
"But the Elite Training Camp isn't something I can decide on my own. We need to assess your Spiritualist talent to determine your eligibility."
"I can only say that if your Spiritualist talent reaches the War General level, you'll likely secure a spot in the Elite Training Camp."
"Use your mental power to control these two A1 Flying Knives and attack the punching power testing machine. If you can achieve the strength of a Beginner War General, which is over 8000kg, then you'll pass."
Xu Feng circulated the mental energy in his mind. After only a day of getting used to it, he couldn't yet use it instinctively. Facing the assessment now, he needed to get more familiar with it.
After about half a minute, Xu Feng completely got used to the feeling of that power, and the two A1 Flying Knives shot towards the testing machine.
Bang!
Beep! Beep! Beep!
The number displayed on the punching power testing machine was—9835kg.
The Director stared at the number on the punching power testing machine, somewhat lost in thought. He thought to himself, So, this is mental power, huh?
Jiang Nian was completely stunned. This was almost comparable to him. This Spiritualist power had already reached the level of a Beginner War General.
Bai Bo's eyes narrowed slightly, but he maintained his expression.
Xu Feng didn't feel satisfied after the first strike. Although this mental power could erupt, he wasn't yet skilled in its use, as he had just awakened it.
However, it was an awakening, not a comprehension. He would likely need several days, or perhaps a fierce battle, to make it instinctive and completely familiar.
He felt very constrained right now, and he didn't like that feeling at all. After the first strike, he didn't stop, but immediately followed up with another.
But this second strike didn't manage to unleash its full power. He still didn't stop, continuing to hit the punching bag repeatedly.
Beep... beep... beep... beep... beep...
The sound from the punch force testing machine blended together, and the punching bag shook constantly. The numbers on the screen also kept changing.
8963kg!
10050kg!
\n\n...
\n\n9200kg!
\n\n8800kg!
\n\nFinally, the final value stabilized around 9573kg. Xu Feng stopped, panting, but the exhilarating feeling made him feel incredibly refreshed.
\n\n"Clap clap clap."
\n\nThe Director's face was full of smiles, and he clapped his hands excitedly. "At your age, to comprehend the Subtle Movement Technique and awaken as a Beginner War General Spiritualist, I've never heard of such a genius."
\n\nAlthough he was a Spiritualist, his control over force wasn't perfect. One mistake could put him in a difficult situation. This result could only be considered barely acceptable for him.
After the tests, everyone sat down, and the atmosphere became much more serious. Their treatment and whether they could enter the Elite Training Camp now depended entirely on the Director.
However, he didn't put on any airs. Sitting opposite Xu Feng, he said with a smile, "Xu Feng, no need to be nervous. My name is Zhuge Tao, you can call me Uncle Tao."
Xu Feng called out affably, "Uncle Tao."
Hearing this, Zhuge Tao's smile became even more cordial. Once Xu Feng matured, he would be a God of War. Xu Feng was still so young, perhaps his future achievements would surpass even his own expectations.
"Xiao Feng, since you've come to the Limit Martial Arts Gym headquarters, you must want to join Limit Martial Arts Gym, right? Did Jiang Nian tell you about the benefits?"
Xu Feng chuckled and said, "Uncle Tao, of course I want to join Limit Martial Arts Gym. I started training at Limit Martial Arts Gym. I think Limit Martial Arts Gym is great."
"As for the benefits, the Director hasn't gone into detail with me yet, just that I'll receive the highest待遇, and it won't be any worse than other places."
Zhuge Tao's smile widened. "According to the usual rules, you can choose a villa to live in, either in Licheng District or the Downtown District headquarters. You have the right to live there, but not the right to sell it. The villa complexes of our Limit Martial Arts Gym are exclusively for the use of martial artists within the gym."
"In addition, there's a starting fund of twenty million! And three secret manuals: a movement technique, a guidance technique, and an attack technique, each with a price limit of no more than fifty million." Zhuge Tao smiled slightly. "Are you satisfied with this?"
Zhuge Tao looked at a beautiful woman in a black professional suit next to him. "Xiao Xue, go draft a contract, according to the old rules… but modify two of the clauses."
"Xu Feng can choose any movement technique, guidance technique, and attack technique manuals. As long as the price is within five hundred million, it's free. I'll cover the cost. And the starting fund will be increased to two hundred million."
"Yes, Director." The woman in the white suit looked at Xu Feng with surprise and gave him a sweet smile.
