17: Head to headquarters

"I didn't expect that this year, our Yian District Dojo of Limits would actually produce two dark horses of Genius level! Come, you two should also test your speed and nerve reaction speed while you're at it!"

"Yes, Instructor!"

Qiao Yu and Luo Feng were also somewhat excited.

If Jiang Nian had been overjoyed when he originally discovered one piece of uncut jade.

Then discovering two in a row simply made him ecstatic.

Who would dare to look down on him as just a district-level Dojo Master in the future? I'm afraid even Uncle Wu, the master of the main dojo, would have to greet him with a smile upon seeing him!

Soon, the test results came out—

Luo Feng: Punch Strength—3109kg! Speed—58m/s! Nerve Reaction Speed—Elementary Warrior level Full Marks! Intermediate Warrior Level Excellent!

Qiao Yu: Punch Strength—3065kg! Speed—55m/s! Nerve Reaction Speed—Elementary Warrior level Full Marks! Intermediate Warrior Level Passing!

Compared to Luo Feng's data, there was still some gap, but Qiao Yu felt it was normal.

Luo Feng had been constantly polishing himself over the past few years, and his level of effort was second to none.

Although Qiao Yu's predecessor had also been diligent and hardworking, his ability to adapt to his body after such a massive improvement was still not as good as Luo Feng's.

"Both of you did great! Qiao Yu, don't be discouraged! After all, Luo Feng's foundation is more solid. You just need to do some targeted training for your speed and nerve reaction ability in the future."

Seeing that Qiao Yu's data was a notch lower than Luo Feng's, Jiang Nian worried that Qiao Yu might become jealous, so he spoke a few words of guidance.

"Yes, Instructor!"

Qiao Yu nodded, not showing any negative emotions; he could see through this much.

"Luo Feng! Qiao Yu! With your improved strength, you don't need to go through the Martial Artist assessment; you can join my Dojo of Limits directly!"

"The two of you were able to increase your punch strength by over two thousand kilograms during your first Gene Energy Cultivation Method session, and your improvements in speed and nerve reaction are equally astonishing. You can completely be called monster-level Geniuses!"

"It is more than enough to join the Dojo of Limits in advance!"

Jiang Nian patted each of them on the shoulder with both hands and said with a smile.

At this moment, Luo Feng gave a wry smile in his heart.

He thought to himself that he was only able to increase his punch strength by over two thousand kilograms in one go because of his Awakening as a Psycher Master.

If it were purely based on physical talent, his first Gene Energy Cultivation Method session would have increased it by at most five or six hundred kilograms.

Luo Feng looked at Qiao Yu, feeling that Qiao Yu was probably the real talent monster, but this instead further ignited Luo Feng's belief in becoming stronger.

He was very happy that his good brother's strength had increased, and he would have someone to accompany him on the path of a Martial Artist in the future.

Meanwhile, Qiao Yu also looked at Luo Feng. Seeing Luo Feng looking at him with a kind of fatherly smile, he also winked and responded with his eyes.

Qiao Yu knew his own situation; if not for the Mushroom System, he might only have been able to be an ordinary passerby for the rest of his life.

As for why his strength increased so much during his first Gene Energy Cultivation Method session, Qiao Yu felt it might be because his genes had gradually deviated from those of a human, leaning towards an unknown new species.

The reason he had this conjecture was because he could clearly feel that the Gene Energy Cultivation Method he used was not the Five Hearts Towards Heaven method commonly used by humans.

The Five Hearts Towards Heaven method could absorb Universe energy, channeling it through the top of the head and the acupoints of the limbs into the cells of the body.

But he felt that his entire body could absorb Universe energy. Even if he lacked talent and the absorption was slow, his contact area with Universe energy was large; there was no way he would lose at the starting line.

"Qiao Yu, I have already discussed the reward conditions for joining the Dojo of Limits with Luo Feng just now. The Dojo of Limits' reward conditions for Genius Martial Artists are all the same."

"A villa, 2000W in startup capital! Besides that, our Dojo of Limits will also give you a set of Guidance Techniques, a set of Weapon Secret Manuals, and a set of Movement Secret Manuals for free!"

"As long as the total price of these three is below 5000W, you can get them for free. Of course, you will need to pay for the excess part yourself."

"Although the cost seems high, the prices are even higher when buying outside. There are definitely discounts for internal personnel of the Dojo of Limits."

Jiang Nian said with a smile.

Luo Feng's expression was a bit dazed, but he quickly sobered up.

And Qiao Yu naturally had no objections.

"Instructor, I agree!"

"I also agree!"

Seeing that both of them agreed, Jiang Nian laughed and said while taking out his phone from his bosom.

"However, I don't have the qualification to let you join directly; it still requires the headquarters to personally review it."

Jiang Nian gently said "Headquarters" into his phone, and a moment later, an old man with white hair appeared on the phone screen.

Jiang Nian excitedly introduced to the white-haired old man, Uncle Bai, how much of a Genius Qiao Yu and Luo Feng were.

"What? Increased punch strength by over two thousand kilograms in the first Cultivation, and both are 18 years old?"

"You brat, hurry up and bring them to headquarters! I will arrange for people to assess them immediately!"

The white-haired old man on the phone screen sat up completely, opened his mouth wide, and roared at Jiang Nian, spittle even flying onto the camera.

"Okay, Uncle Bai, I'll bring these two brats to headquarters for assessment immediately!"

Jiang Nian hung up the phone and said to Qiao Yu and the other with a smile.

"You two, now, immediately, come with me to headquarters!"

The three of them hurriedly took a train to the main urban area of Jiangnan City.

...

Jiangnan Base City, main urban area.

Jiang Nian led Qiao Yu and Luo Feng walking on the sidewalk, seeing the two of them full of curiosity about their surroundings, which was exactly the same as when he first came years ago.

"Luo Feng, Qiao Yu, do you think the main urban area is much more spectacular than Yangzhou City?"

Jiang Nian asked with a smile.

Luo Feng shook his head and said: "Nothing much, just average."

"Haha, Luo Feng, at first glance there isn't much difference, but you'll know in a moment. What about you, Qiao Yu? Do you also think it's average?"

Jiang Nian smiled slightly, not minding Luo Feng's evaluation, and turned his head to the other side to ask Qiao Yu.

Qiao Yu was slightly distracted. In his past life, he had been to Jiangnan Nanjing on a business trip. The prosperity of that time had now withered away. Looking at this completely unfamiliar city, he sighed in his heart.

"Sigh, if there were no disasters, no monsters, no Great Nirvana, and everything had developed steadily upward, who knows what kind of scenery Jiangnan City would be today..."

Jiang Nian, who was originally thinking about taking Qiao Yu and Luo Feng to see the world later, heard Qiao Yu's exclamation, and his smile gradually turned serious.

"Yes, humanity is now just barely surviving under the encirclement of monsters; what qualifications do we have to think highly of ourselves?"

"Qiao Yu, Luo Feng, the future is in the hands of your younger generation. Do not be complacent because of a little progress. Humanity is progressing, and monsters are also progressing. You must always be prepared for danger in times of peace."

While they were chatting, Qiao Yu saw a silvery-white courtyard wall that was over a kilometer wide in front of him. Inside the wall was a dark blue skyscraper towering into the clouds.

Qiao Yu looked up at the building and could still see four eye-catching characters—Dojo of Limits.

Rows of armed Soldiers wearing dark green combat uniforms guarded this area, their eyes staring straight ahead.

"This is the army inside our Dojo of Limits. Let's go, let's go inside."

Jiang Nian led the two of them in through the main entrance.

"Let them pass!" A one-armed man with a scarred face at the entrance waved his hand, and immediately all the Soldiers took a step back in unison, their Aura imposing.
