Chapter 29 - Chapter 29. Trials of the wilderness

Several hundred miles west of the Jong- Bay city lay a military district with a resounding rumble. A train gradually came to a stop at the military station and martial artists began to disembark in small groups. Wongi just ahead is the martial artist supply base. One of the squad members, Xiaoui, remarked, lifting his gaze to behold a towering iron spire that loomed 50 to 60 m high. Every military district across the globe designates a special area to construct such a tower. Here we martial artists can resupply and rest. It symbolizes our guiding beacon in the wilderness zone, illuminating our path home. Xiao Wei amused. Wongi nodded in agreement and followed the five members of the storm squad into the martial artist supply base. Along the way, he absorbed a wealth of experiences that he had never encountered in the tranquil confines of the base city. Within the supply base, several serene three-story buildings stood, one of which was designated as building D3. All right, let us take a moment to rest here. We shall depart for our destination at 8:00 tonight. Captain Jang Fong declared as he set down his heavy shield and hammer with a resonant thud, stretching his neck and smiling at the nearby squad members. "By the way, Wongi, do you wield dual blades?" Team member Lu Shui inquired curiously, eyeing the two battle blades strapped to Wong Yi's back. "Indeed," Wongi replied, tossing his tactical backpack to the ground. He then unfassened the specialized strap that connected to the scabbards and with a gentle press, the two battle blades, each weighing over a 100 kg, fell into his hands effortlessly. "Goodness!" Zia exclaimed, his eyes widening at the sight of the elegantly curved blades resembling Persian sabers. "Are those the A6 model of the flowing fire battle blades? They cost a staggering 25 million each. You actually bought two." The others in the room turned their attention towards Wong. E upon hearing Xiao weighs exclamation. While they had noticed the two blades earlier, they had not given them much thought, assuming they were merely standard warrior grade weapons, perhaps even elementary battle general grade. To their astonishment, they realized they were dealing with the expensive AE6 model flowing fire battle blades, typically wielded only by battle general level experts. Collectively, the two blades were valued at a whopping 50 million. The others gathered around, including Captain Jang Foam. Xiaoui picked up one of the flowing fire battle blades from the ground, feeling its extraordinary weight and was mildly astonished. Indeed, it is the A6 flowing fire battle blade. For martial artists, the stronger one is, the more precious materials are utilized in their weapons, resulting in increased weight. Battle general level warriors possess physical strength exceeding 10,000 kg as long as it does not hinder their combat efficacy. Wielding weapons weighing several hundred kg is commonplace. Captain Jeangfang shield and hammer together likely weigh 7 to 800 kg or more. Wong Yi's A6 flowing fire battle blades were remarkably sharp, capable of effortlessly slicing through the bodies of highranking beast generals, and each blade weighed over 200 kg. for martial artist. Even a novice who had barely passed the martial artist qualification test could wield them with ease. Though achieving perfect execution was another matter entirely. Let me see. Zia said, drawing the blade. A clear melodious sound echoed as the blade was unshathed, casting a crimson light that illuminated the entire hall. The blade measured approximately 1 meter in length. Its curved shape reminiscent of a crescent moon with a narrower blade width of about 3 to 4 cm. A blood groove ran down the center, while the handle was neither large nor round, but bent at a right angle, featuring a cross shape guard. The blade gleamed with a chilling brilliance, capable of reflecting even the finest hairs on a person's face, exuding an intangible aura of cold menace. Captain Jang Foong, express surprise. You actually purchased two flowing fire battle blades. Just how much initial funding did the extreme martial arts school provide you? Typically, ordinary martial artists receive only 1 million in startup funds along with a villa, while specially recruited high potential martial artists might receive slightly more. But there is a limit. My estimate is around 10 to 20 million at most. Yet, your two blades alone are likely valued at over 30 million. Jang phone was taken aback, pondering just how much initial funding Wong he had received. The funds allocated for purchasing manuals were distinct from the startup capital. The free allocation could only be used for manuals, not for other purchases, whereas startup funds could be used for anything. Not much, perhaps around 100 million, Wong replied nonchalantly. He truly did not consider it excessive as he was a member of the elite training camp. Furthermore, as he continued to demonstrate exceptional talent, the terms of his contract would likely improve much like the protagonist Luo Fong in the original story. 100 million. Is that for real? The members of the storm squad were utterly astonished, their eyes wide with disbelief. Although they were all battle general level martial artists. After toiling in the wilderness zone for a year, earning several million would be considered a significant achievement. Only with exceptional luck, encountering valuable monster materials and successfully hunting beasts. Could one hope to amass a fortune in a year, potentially reaching 100 million? Under normal circumstances, it was only the strongest member of the squad, Captain Jang Fong, who might earn over 100 million a year, but that was at the cost of their lives. In stark contrast, Wangi had done nothing but join the Extreme Martial Arts School to receive a staggering 100 million in startup funds. An unimaginable difference. Tell me, what sort of contract did you sign with the Extreme Martial Arts School to receive such a massive startup fund? Team Everly How marveled. Wongi merely smiled faintly, offering no explanation. Captain J phone regarded Wong with admiration, saying, "You truly are impressive." "Now tell me, just how extraordinary is your physical prowess." "Perhaps on par with that of an elementary battle general," Wongi replied, blinking and hesitating before ultimately deciding not to disclose his true physical capabilities. "Nevertheless, this revelation was sufficient to leave the Storm Squad in awe. After all, Wong was merely 18 years old, having just graduated from high school. Yet he possessed the physical prowess of an elementary battle general. They had no doubts about Wong Yi's honesty. Once combat commenced, the truth would become abundantly clear. The elementary battle general Xiao Wei experienced a sudden twitch in his skin, observing Wong E, as if he were a creature of the supernatural. You, my friend, are indeed a marvel, achieving the rank of battle general at merely 18 years of age. When I was your age, I was not even a senior student at the martial arts academy. It's no wonder the extreme martial arts academy treasures you so dearly. Truly, a genius is a genius. Impressive. Upon learning of Wong Yi's exceptional physical prowess, the members of the Storm Squad immediately altered their perception of him. After all, with such predigious talent and youth, it seemed inevitable that he would ascend to the status of a battle god. A battle god, a dream cherished by nearly all martial artists and the ultimate aspiration for many. In a base city, how many battle gods exist? Each one is a figure of great significance. And Wong, he possesses the qualifications to become one. They were fortunate enough to team up with a future battle god. Haha. Captain Jang phone laughed with unrestrained joy, exclaiming, "Wong Eu sly fellow, you've kept your status as a battle general from us." With this revelation, our storm squad has transformed into an elite team of battle generals. Laughter erupted among the others in the living room, and indeed, it was a moment of shared delight. Captain Jangfangs eyes sparkled. Initially, he had intended to lead Wong. He through some ordinary towns near the military district, but now that Wong, he was a battle general. Such places were hardly suitable for his training. Perhaps they could dare to venture into deeper territories.
