Luo Feng realized that the conditions given to him were extremely extravagant.
"My dojo of limits' conditions towards geniuses are all the same" Jiang Nian smiled, "In the dojo of limits, you can earn other comrades' help from all over. And our leader, the strongest fighter Hong, will also sometimes lead a bunch of true elites.
Luo Feng has lived in this age for quite a while, so he was clear on the influence of the dojo of limits!
Joining the dojo of limits was definitely a good choice.
"Okay, instructor. I accept" Luo Feng nodded.
"Haha" Jiang Nian laughed, "Of course, I don't have the right to let you join the dojo of limits immediately..... Accepting fighters of your talent needs headquarters themselves to test you" As he said that, Jiang Nian took out a cell phone from his pocket and quietly said 'Headquarters', which made the cell phone dial them.
Shortly after--
A person appeared on the cell phone's screen.
"Jiang Nian, what's up?" The screen's old, bald veteran laughed.
"Uncle Bai" Jiang Nian said excitedly, "I found a genius fighter in my Zhi-An region. His fist strength increased by 2000 kg after his first time doing genetic energy training. His speed is 58 m/s and his reaction speed test was excellent in an intermediate warrior exam! Surely he's a monster level genius"
"Oh?" The old, bald veteran was surprised and asked, "His first time and it improved his strength by 2000 kg? How old is he?"
The older you are, the less worth you are to nurture.
"18 years old!" Jiang Nian answered.
"What, only 18 years old?" The old, bald veteran suddenly stood up and shouted, "Hurry up and bring him to headquarters here you kid! I'll immediately organize a test for this kid"
"Okay, I'll go to headquarters immediately"
Jiang Nian hung up and turned to Luo Feng smiling, "Luo Feng, come with me now to headquarters"
"Yes, instructor. Instructor, I'll put the ghost blade and hexagonal shield back into the weapons room" right when Luo Feng spoke, Jiang Nian was tugging at Luo Feng: "Who cares about the room, just leave it on the floor. Hurry, don't waste time"
As he said that, Jiang Nian pulled Luo Feng and rushed towards the staircase, at the same time, Jiang Nian ordered: "Old Li, I probably won't have any time today, so cancel tonight's lessons"
"Yes, instructor" Uncle Li nodded, and right when he said that.
Jiang Nian and Luo Feng were no longer in his field of vision.
Chapter 25: A fighter’s level
Instructor Jiang Nian used his fighter privileges to ride the train headed towards the main section of the city without buying a ticket. Jiang-Nan city was made up of the main section and eight surrounding sections.
The means of transportation between the sections is a train. When a regular person wants to ride the train, they have to buy a ticket three days prior. A ticket is also extremely expensive. And to go from one city to another..... would be unthinkable for most people due to the price. Most of the 200 million residents will never leave Jiang-Nan city.
������������
Jiang-Nan city, main section.
Jiang Nian and Luo Feng walked side by side on the sidewalk.
"Luo Feng, notice any difference between the main section and our Yang-Zhou?" Jiang Nian smiled as he pointed around. Luo Feng looked around and shaked his head, "Not really, it's just that there are more people, more cars, and that there's a larger sidewalk. Everything else is normal". Indeed, there was nothing special about their current location.
Jiang Nian smiled: "Right now, there's not much of a difference. But soon you will see it"
"Hello?" Jiang Nian answered his cell phone.
"Jiang Nian, how much longer until you get here?" The old veteran appeared on the cell phone's display.
"We'll be there within 10 minutes" Jiang Nian smiled.
"Okay, I already got all of the main authorities here, so don't mess up later" reminded the old, bald veteran.
"The main authorities?" Jiang Nian was surprised.
As they were talking. Luo Feng noticed a large area in front of him. There was a white, silver wall stretching across and a huge, tall, dark blue skyscraper. This skyscraper had four gigantic letters that could be seen miles away
--Dojo of Limits*��
*TL note: chinese:�O�ޕ��^
"This is the main headquarters of the dojo of limits! Our headquarters in Jiang-Nan city" said Jiang Nian.
"There sure are a lot of soldiers" Luo Feng took in a deep breath.
Outside the walls of the dojo of limits headquarters, there were tons of soldiers wielding real guns. The feeling that the headquarters gave you was like a fully armed beast. And at the main gate, there were rows of soldiers that spanned across a hundred meters.
"This is our dojo of limits' army" Jiang Nian smiled, "Security is high inside the building too".
"Go, enter" Jiang Nian brought Luo Feng towards the main gate.
"Let them in!" A one-armed man with scars on his face waved his hand, and all the soldiers backed up a step. The entire process made Luo Feng hold his breath.
The one-armed man smiled as he looked at Jiang Nian: "Old Jiang, it's been a while since you've been here. We should drink a bit together later"
"Okay" Jiang Nian smiled and nodded. He then glanced at Luo Feng, "Luo Feng, he is your senior, greet uncle Lu"
"Uncle Lu" Luo Feng loudly greeted. He could feel that this one-armed man is a powerful fighter.
"Not bad, kiddo" the one-armed man nodded as he smiled.
"We're in a hurry, so we'll talk later. Uncle Bai is waiting for us in there" Jiang Nian immediately brought Luo Feng into the courtyard of the headquarters, which looked like a gigantic park. There were flowing rivers, fake mountains, and flowerbeds everywhere. And Luo Feng could sense that every person he walked past was special.
Jiang Nian sighed as he walked with Luo Feng: "That uncle Lu just now is one of my good friends who would fight with his life on the line with me back in the days. He is a good friend who has went through many hardships. His arm was broken off by a black, steel gorilla in one hit"
Luo Feng listened silently.
"The fighters in our dojo of limits are very united" Jiang Nian pointed towards the skyscraper, "Look, that building is the headquarters for the fighters of the dojo of limits in Jiang-Nan city! Virtually every person that walks out of that building is a fighter"
"Virtually every single one?" Luo Feng gasped.
Looking through the glass of the building, there were almost a hundred people inside.
"There is a good 200 million population in Jiang-Nan city, how could we be short on fighters?" Jiang Nian laughed, "In this building, the 1st floor is the lobby is for chatting and eating. The 2nd to 9th floors are used for warrior level training. The 10th to 19th floors are for the general level fighters. And for 20 and above..... is where conferences are held.
Luo Feng, a bit confused, asked: "Instructor, fighters are split into warrior and general levels?"
"Fighters are mainly split into the warrior level, the general level, and the extremely rare battle lord level!" Jiang Nian explained quietly, "Most people are in the warrior level! Many fighters stay in the warrior level forever. And the warrior level is split into beginner warrior, intermediate warrior, and elite warrior. Most of the fighters who just passed their exams belong to the beginner warrior level!"
"Luo Feng, with your current strength, you're probably an intermediate warrior" Jiang Nian said.
Luo Feng nodded.
Looks like with his strength, he's still at the bottom level of the fighters.
"You can probably kill warrior level fighters with heated weapons"
"But you can't kill most general level fighters with heated weapons" Jiang Nian said, "For example, if you fire a heavy machine gun at a general level fighter, he can easily dodge using just his speed and reaction speed! The general level fighters are considered as the elites"
Luo Feng could only rub his forehead.
Luo Feng knew a lot about the powerful fighters. For example, the fighter who cut the black-crowned golden eagle in half on television..... Even with his spiritual force, he probably couldn't even touch a hair.
"Those above the general level are the battle lords!" Jiang Nian spoke in admiration, "Those are the truly powerful warriors! Each one can easily walk in a storm of bullets. Their speed is as fast as lightning and their reaction speed is even more incredible. A punch or kick from them can destroy an entire apartment. Battle lord! This is a battle lord"
Luo Feng listened with his breath holded.
Warrior..... General..... Battle lord!
With his current level, he's only an intermediate warrior! Maybe after using his spiritual force, his strength will increase and he might have a chance of getting into the general level.
"Instructor, are there any higher levels than the battle lord?" asked Luo Feng.
"Yes"
Jiang Nian smiled and nodded, "There are existences above the battle lord level. Each one of them has a sky shattering, earth shaking power! When faced with such fighters, even countries have to respect them. However, there are barely any people like this. Even our entire country of China has two or three people like this.
Luo Feng was stunned.
Even China, one of the five countries, only had two or three people above the battle lord level?
"So the fighters are usually split into the warrior, general, and battle lord categories!" explained Jiang Nian, "Of course, the world uses your fist strength, speed, and reaction speed to gauge your strength. They also use your battle records!"
"Battle records?" Luo Feng was confused.
"Yes. Luo Feng, with your current fitness level, you should be at the intermediate warrior level! However, after you become a fighter, you're technically a beginner warrior! Only after you kill enough monsters and powerful monsters will you be able to qualify as an intermediate warrior" Jiang Nian sighed, "Since some people have better technique while others have better fitness levels. Others have all sorts of tricks up their sleeves. So to gauge their strength, the only standard is the battle record!"
Luo Feng nodded.
Yes..... even if their body fitness levels are worlds apart, a person with a lower fitness level can still kill a person with a higher one!
"Keep working and get to the general level! Then you'll be the pride of our Yang-Zhou city" Jiang Nian laughed, "Brother Yan Luo who came to find me last time is a general level fighter"
"Oh" Luo Feng slightly nodded.
If he used his spiritual force, how strong would he be? Would he be able to compare to a general level fighter? Only time will tell.
.....
As Luo Feng and Jiang Nian talked, they quickly arrived at a three story villa. This villa took up a huge amount of space. A bald, old veteran yelled from the balcony of the second floor: "Jiang Nian, hurry up and come up"
"Come, go up with me"
Jiang Nian brought Luo Feng and quickly entered the villa.
Chapter 26: Zhu Ge Tao
The second floor of the villa was completely empty and clearly smaller than Yang Zhou's Zhi-An section's dojo of limit's training hall.
"Chief" Jiang Nian loudly greeted as he entered the second floor.
"Hm?"
Luo Feng was slightly surprised, instructor Jiang Nian never greeted anyone like this, not even chief instructor 'Wu Tong'.
"Jiang Nian, this young man is Luo Feng right" said the soft voice.
"Yes, chief" Jiang Nian respectfully responded.
Luo Feng looked around carefully. There were five people standing beside the bald, old veteran. Four of them wore white suits. The four of them stood behind a black Tang suit wearing middle-aged man. This man was skinny, had a hooked nose, and his eyes were filled with warmth and happiness; he gave off a vibe of kindness.
Jiang Nian immediately glared at Luo Feng, which caused Luo Feng to realize: "Hello, chief".
"Yep"
The middle-aged man slightly nodded and spoke, "Old bai, you guys can start. Assess this young man's strength"
"Certainly" uncle Bai also responded respectfully.
Luo Feng muttered to himself: "Instructor Jiang Nian didn't greet chief instructor 'Wu Tong' like this. This uncle Bai, who has a high position at the dojo of limits headquarters, also treats this chief respectfully..... Just who is this chief?"
Nevertheless, it is clear that the chief is a man of high authority.
[DI!]
All the switches on the fist strength tester machine and the speed tester machine were turned on.
[WU~~]
All the security cameras on the second floor's training hall were turned on to record Luo Feng's performance. The four men and women in white suits immediately started moving, whether it was using their laptops or personally checking if the machines were in good condition.
"Uncle Bai, no problems" said a young woman.
"Okay" Uncle Bai looked towards Luo Feng, "Luo Feng, begin testing. First start with strength"
Luo Feng took in a deep breath and headed towards the fist strength tester. Whether it was Jiang Nian, uncle Bai, the four white suits wearing men and women, or the high chief, all of their gazes landed upon Luo Feng. Luo Feng, who seemed relaxed, suddenly exploded like a panther.
[PENG!] The explosive fist landed on the machine.
Luo Feng immediately looked at the display--'3110kg'��
"Not bad, kiddo" The silent chief smiled and nodded, "Next category"
The results for speed and reaction speed soon came out.
Speed--58m/s��
Reaction speed--beginner warrior, perfect score. Intermediate warrior, excellent��
[Phew]
Luo Feng walked out of the red circle of the reaction speed tester and let out a breath after seeing his scores were normal, "Not bad, good thing I didn't mess up at the most important time". Jiang Nian, who was next to Luo Feng, also relaxed. Since some people can't show their true skill when affected by too much pressure.
"Out of the three, reaction speed is the best" The Tang suit wearing middle-aged man smiled and nodded.
"He's also 18 years old, which is in the restricted range"
The Tang suit wearing middle-aged man looked at Jiang Nian and smiled, "A genius has came out of your Zhi-An section. Good work, Jiang Nian"
Jiang Nian couldn't help but to show a face of happiness: "As long as Luo Feng works hard enough"
"Yup"
The Tang suit wearing middle-aged man's gaze landed on Luo Feng, "Luo Feng, are you willing to join my dojo of limits? I'm sure Jiang Nian has already told you all of the conditions"
"I am willing to join" Luo Feng had no hesitation.
"Very good"
The Tang suit wearing middle-aged man clapped his hands, "According to the rules, you can pick a villa either here in the main sector or in Yang-Zhou city. You have the right to live there but not to sell it. All of the villas in our dojo of limits area are all inhabited by fighters"
"Other than that, you get 20 million dollars! You also get the Dao Yin technique, the blade scroll, and the agility scroll as long as they are below 50 million" The Tang suit wearing middle-aged man laughed, "Am I right?"
"Yes" Luo Feng nodded.
The Tang suit wearing middle-aged man looked towards a white suit wearing woman: "Go get the contract, but change one of the points. Luo Feng can pick any Dao Yin technique, agility scroll, and offensive scroll. As long as they are within another 50 million, they're all free. I'll pay for it"
"Yes, chief" The white suit wearing woman looked at Luo Feng in shock and went to get the contract.
"Chief....." Luo Feng was shocked.
Before, the three scrolls had to be below 50 million. Now the cap is raised by another 50 million, and the chief is paying for it.
"Luo Feng, you're not bad" the Tang suit wearing middle-aged man smiled, "I like you, don't mind this small change"
"Small change?" Luo Feng was surprised.
From 50 million to 100 million, in other words, this chief has to pay millions. And that is small change? Even a general level fighter probably doesn't have this much to spare.
"Thank you, chief" thanked Luo Feng.
The Tang suit wearing middle-aged man smiled. The contract was brought over and quickly signed by the Tang suit wearing middle-aged man. The white suit wearing woman carried the contract and pen over to Luo Feng, "Sign here, here, and here"
Luo Feng scanned the contract. The contract was crystal clear; all of the points were straightforward. There was none of that headache causing business jargon. Luo Feng signed.
"Welcome, Luo Feng, to our dojo of limits family!" the Tang suit wearing middle-aged man smiled and extended his hand.
Luo Feng did the same, and they shook hands.
"From today on, you can move in to the fighter's villa area" the Tang suit wearing middle-aged man smiled, "As for your money and scrolls, you'll receive them when you officially become a fighter. Your money will be transferred to your fighter account"
Luo Feng nodded.
"Oh, right, my name is Zhu Ge Tao. Don't forget that, kiddo" the Tang suit wearing middle-aged man smiled, and soon left the building with the four white suit wearing men and women.
The second floor of the villa was empty; only uncle Bai, Jiang Nian, and Luo Feng were left.
"Phew, my breathing was a bit tense with the chief's presence" Jiang Nian laughed loudly.
"I also had no idea that the chief would come" said uncle Bai.
Luo Feng asked with uncertainty, "Instructor, uncle Bai, just who is this chief?"
"Haha, kiddo, you're in luck. The chief saw your instructor and raised your cap by another 50 million" uncle Bai looked at Luo Feng, "But the thing that surprises me the most is that the chief told you his name! Looks like he really does like you"
