  "RUMBLE~~" the machine ferociously swung forwards and backwards before stabilizing.

  "Feels good" Luo Feng looked towards the display.

  The display paused for a bit and then displayed the numberһһ'28081 kg'.

  "Hmhm, 9,981 times 2.8 is around....." Luo Feng calculated in his mind, "Around 27,947. So a punch of 28,000 kg is acceptable"

  Luo Feng was quite satisfied with this number: 28,000 kg is quite horrifying.

  That's 28 tons of fist strength! Even a truck is only a few tons, so one can imagine how powerful this fist was.

  According to the body fitness level estimates, 16,000 kg to 32,000 kg belongs to the intermediate level warlord range. However, even if they're both intermediate level warlords, the difference between 16,000 kg and a seasoned intermediate level warlord is extremely gigantic.

  If Luo Feng swung his blade with that power, he would be considered powerful for an intermediate level warlord.

  ���

  As the chief instructor of the Limit Hall, chief instructor Wu Tong frequently comes to the Limit Hall.

  "A sonic boom?"

  Wu Tong, who was in a quiet room on the fifth floor, suddenly heard the sonic boom on the sixth floor and jumped out of surprisement, "What kind of powerful person caused that sonic boom?" Wu Tong turned into a shadow and directly flew across the stairs and charged towards the sixth floor. The training hall of the sixth floor was mostly empty; only one person was thereһһLuo Feng! At this time, Luo Feng was still standing in front of the fist strength testing machine, thinking about his current level of strength.

  "Eh?" Luo Feng turned around, "Uncle Wu"

  "Damn, you little kid, were you the one who made that sonic boom? Let me see how powerful your fist was" Wu Tong was extremely surprised as he walked towards Luo Feng, but when his gaze landed upon the fist strength testing machine's display, he couldn't help but to freeze, "28,081 kg?"

  Wu Tong couldn't help but to stare at Luo Feng, as if Luo Feng transformed into a monster: "You did this?"

  "Who else?" Luo Feng laughed, "However, my body fitness level isn't this powerful"

  "The��Nine Stage Thunder Blade��?" Wu Tong guessed in an instant. He knew long ago that Luo Feng purchased the��Nine Stage Thunder Blade�� instruction manual. However, many powerful fighters don't purchase this instruction manual even if they have the money, since many can't even complete the first stage.

  "Even if you're practicing the��Nine Stage Thunder Blade��, it shouldn't be this absurd. What's your normal fist strength? Up to what stage have you completed in the��Nine Stage Thunder Blade��?" Wu Tong followed up his question.

  Luo Feng smiled as he answered: "Regular fist strength is around 10,000 kg and I've finished the third stage of the��Nine Stage Thunder Blade��. No matter how much I train, I can't grasp the fourth stage". Luo Feng wasn't planning on hiding his progress on the��Nine Stage Thunder Blade��, since his strength will gather attention anyway.

  Letting out some of his special points will still reap him some benefits.

  As for his identity as a spirit reader, Luo Feng won't reveal that. Even before the vulture scorpion couple started investigating the culprit's identity with the 'Astronomical Bounty' case, Luo Feng never wanted reveal his identity as a spirit reader...... because around the entire world, spirit readers are even more rare than fighters, and fighters are pretty rare in the first place! The appearance of a spirit reader will complicate things a lot.

  "Messed up, you're too messed up, you're a monster" Wu Tong couldn't help but to hammer Luo Feng's chest, "I knew you were quite talented, since I scouted you for the Dojo of Limits. Even though the fact that your body fitness level reached the 'beginner level warlord level' is quite astonishing, I'm not too surprised, since some people grow even faster than you. However..... you actually managed to complete the third stage of the��Nine Stage Thunder Blade��in just a measly half a year! This is just too absurd, monster, monster!"

  There are talented people everywhere. There are tons of people whose body fitness level grows at an insane rate! For example, during the few short years of the Grand Nirvana period, the strongest fighter 'Hong' and the second strongest fighter 'Thunder God' became existences that surpassed the wargod level. In just a few years, they grew to that level where they can even fly!

  One can imagine how many geniuses there are on this world! However, the��Nine Stage Thunder Blade�� has nothing to do with body fitness at all.

  Luo Feng's fitness level rose quickly and he was able to finish the third stage of the��Nine Stage Thunder Blade��; he's definitely a monster. Only one or two of these monsters appear a year around the entire world.

  "Hurry, test your speed and show me the results" Wu Tong passionately went to turn on the speed testing machine for Luo Feng.

  Luo Feng laughed.

  Whoosh! His body instantly accelerated like an arrow leaving a bow and then stopped after a few breaths.

  The display on the machine showed the numberһһ"128m/s"

  "Not bad, this is the level of a normal beginner level warlord" smiled Wu Tong as he nodded.

  Luo Feng was pretty happy too.

  He was clear that as a fighter's fitness level increases, his strength will continuously increase too! Strength is okay, but speed..... as you advance, speed becomes harder and harder to increase.

  Since the faster you are at sprinting, dodging, and jumping, the more air resistance you'll encounter! The faster you are, the larger the resistance, which is why speed is harder to increase.

  "Speed of 128 m/s, strength of roughly 10,000 kg, with the��Nine Stage Thunder Blade��: around 28,000 kg. And my reaction speed test gave me a rank of superior for the 'intermediate level warlord' test" Luo Feng frequently trains with the reaction speed testing machine, so he has long been clear of his current level.

  With his Ru Wei class technique and a bit of knowledge on the "Perfect level', Luo Feng's dodging abilities are quite astonishing.

  As Luo Feng and Wu Tong were chatting...

  Jiang-Nan city's main city sector's airport.

  The word airport is a very foreign word.

  Ever since the Grand Nirvana period, the amount monsters in the sky has increased, raising the standards on airplanes by who knows how many times. The cost to construct an airplane is insanely higher than the cost it took before the Grand Nirvana period. The so called 'airplane' has basically no relationship with most people.

  There indeed still exists commercial airplanes, but the cost of each ticket for a normal person is insanely expensive! Even a rich person would be reluctant to buy a ticket.

  In the waiting area of the airport, the chairman of the Dojo of Limits headquarters and the three chiefs below him, the Big Four of Jiang-Nan city's Dojo of Limits, were waiting.

  "He's here!" Zhu Ge Tao smiled as he looked towards the sky.

  Whoosh! A shadow virtually instantly appeared in the sky above the airport and then dramatically slowed down as it passed through the city's defense system. After that, it slowly descended. This was a gigantic, blue UFO-shaped commercial airplane that was around 30 to 40 meters in diameter. An enchanting, blue light reflected off the surface of the aircraft.

  Beep! The hatch of the commercial UFO-shaped aircraft opened and a staircase extended from it. The Big Four of the Dojo of Limits immediately walked to the side of the staircase. Only people with status were able to come directly to the side of the aircraft. In total, there were around 10 people.

  The passengers of the aircraft started coming down the staircase and each of them were of special status.

  Keep in mind that.....

  Aircraft like these are extremely, extremely rare throughout the entire world! When flying in the air, the aircraft has to guarantee the safety of its passengers. First, the aircraft's surface's material is comparable to a Q series battle uniform and a Q series weapon. Even though it's just a thin sheet, it can completely fend off attacks
from a horde leader level flying monster! At the same time, the aircraft is equipped with an expensive mechanical wave cannon! This mechanical wave cannon can completely decimate an emperor level monster that dares to fly near the aircraft.

  With all of this, the safety of the passengers is guaranteed. At the same time, the cost to construct it is extraordinary! For example, a Q series ghost blade is 3 billion, half price 1.5 billion. Cheapest price available in the palace of wargods is 1 billion. And the actual value of the blade is around 0.8 to 0.9 billion. If you just count solely the Ke-luo alloy, it's around 0.6 billion.

  And the entire surface of the aircraft is made out of that material.

  A 30 m to 40 m diameter aircraft, even though it's just the surface, the high density causes it to total at around 30 tons. Just the price of the Ke-luo alloy reaches billions and billions of Chinese dollars! Once you add on the mechanical wave cannon and the other stuff.....

  A commercial aircraft, just the cost to construct it, is like a galaxy away from the cost to construct an aircraft before the Grand Nirvana period.

  Furthermore, the maintenance fee of these types of aircraft is also astonishing! Each time they encounter an attack from a flock of flying monsters, they'll naturally have to expend tons of energy to fend them off.

  That's why the prices for a ticket is extremely absurd! Many average rich people wouldn't even purchase one.

  "Old Yang!" The chairman of the Dojo of Limits headquarters smiled as he yelled.

  A middle aged man wearing a grey robe smiled as he walked over: "Steel hand, haha, long time no see"

  "Old Yang, you came here to check out that Luo Feng's strength right? Well, leaving the small matters aside, let's go, us brothers will have a nice talk" smiled the chairman of the Dojo of Limits headquarters.

  TL note:

  some extra info on Zhu Ge Tao:

  I've mistakenly called Zhu Ge Tao the 'chief instructor' back in the

  Chapter 'Lu Gang, the wargod who passed away' (vol. 4 ch. 7, which I've fixed). I forgot what I called him so I just said chief instructor, not realizing I already used that title for Wu Tong.Also, Zhu Ge Tao's brother is extremely powerful, therefore increasing Zhu Ge Tao's status even more (also in vol. 4 ch. 7).

  Edit 2: Sorry, ANOTHER mistake. Zhu Ge Tao is also a chief, but a chief above the chief instructor. The chairman is actually another person, so Zhu Ge Tao isn't the top of the big four. I'll just call Zhu Ge Tao, 'Chief', and Wu Tong, 'Chief instructor', because the big four is made out of three chiefs and one chairman.

  Chapter 103: Dragon Blood

  "Mr. Yang!"

  Zhu Ge Tong and the other three chiefs respectfully yelled.

  This middle aged man, 'Yang Hui', who apparently looked around only 30 years old, was actually over 50 years old and was an 'intermediate level wargod'. Usually, he lives in the Dojo of Limits' world headquarters. Whether strength or identity, this Yang Hui is comparable to the man who is nicknamed 'Steel Hand', Zhou Zheng Yong.

  "We haven't seen each other for eight years huh. Let's go, go and find a place to drink some tea. After that, we'll eat some lunch. Oh yea, Zhu Ge, is your big brother here in the headquarter city? Tell him to come too" said Yang Hui.

  "Alright, I'll call my big brother right now" said Zhu Ge Tong.

  Yang Hui was a wargod, chairman Zhou Zheng Yong was a wargod, and Zhu Ge Tao's brother, 'Zhu Ge Shan', was a wargod. People look at each other's status when making friends; people without any background at all definitely can't enter their circle.

  "Steel hand, is the investigator still in the headquarter city?" asked Yang Hui.

  "The investigator went to #003 city in the wilderness a few days ago to train his spear techniques on the horde leader monsters" said steel hand Zhou Zheng Yong, "After the investigator returns, I'll bring you to him. Half a year ago, when the head came to Jiang-Nan city to find the investigator, the investigator was still in the wilderness"

  The head!

  When this word came out of Zhou Zheng Yong's mouth, the three chiefs on the side and Yang Hui's expression immediately became serious.

  Only one man can be called the head by the chairman of Jiang-Nan city's Dojo of Limits headquarters: The undisputable, most powerful fighter on earth: the creator of the Dojo of Limits, 'Hong'!

  A powerful fighter with seemingly limitless strength! Mankind's most powerful fighter!

  "The investigator has been training, since he's trying to become an existence that surpasses the wargod level" sighed Yang Hui, "The head also said that investigator Liu has the largest hope of accomplishing such a thing"

  An investigatorһһһһһһis nearly at the top of the entire Dojo of Limits! People like Zhou Zheng Yong and Yang Hui who are often allowed to come into close contact with the world's most powerful fighter, 'Hong', could also be considered as some of the most important people of the Dojo of Limits.

  "Go, let's go get some tea. We'll slowly investigate that little Luo Feng's stuff later" smiled wargod Yang Hui.

  Headquarter ambassador Yang Hui, with the Big Four of Jiang-Nan city, left the airplane.

  February 28, dawn.

  After finishing a basic warm up that lasted half an hour in the training hall, Luo Feng entered the audiovisual room. The curtains of the windows were closed tight, causing the inside of the room to be mostly dark. The only light source came from the sliver of light shooting in from the door.

  "Turn on" commanded Luo Feng.

  Luo Feng was relaxed as he finished making his tea and sat on the couch. At the same time, he put the wireless keyboard on his legs and swiftly entered the 'warlord discussion board' in the 'Home of Limits' and replied to some posts.

  These posts have tons of warlord fighters from South America, the EU, Africa, etc. and sometimes, wargods come here too.

  And through these posts, you could even video chat with some fighters one on one.

  There were tons of functions.

  "An elixir of life is indeed rare" Luo Feng purposely posted on some threads that haven't been active on the topic of the 'elixir of life'. He caused three of the threads to appear at the top of the page again. Using the terms on the discussion board, he was 'necroposting'.

  Naturally, tons of warlord fighters all over the world see these updated threads, so tons of them started their discussions about it.

  Through these discussions, Luo Feng learned much more about the 'elixir of life'. Sometimes, he would also reply and chat with the fighters in the thread.

  "There's a startling amount of warlord fighters under the Dojo of Limits around the world. And yet, none of them know where the 'elixir of life' is" frowned Luo Feng, "Could it really be as the say? That every rare elixir of life ends up in an auction?"

  Even if there actually was an elixir of life available, Luo Feng wouldn't dare to buy it.

  He doesn't have enough strength, so once the Vulture Scorpion couple find out, his nightmare will begin.

  "Whatever, for me right now, the most important thing is to increase my strength!"

  "The most powerful thing about me is my spiritual force! As of now, my body fitness level is still at the beginner level warlord level. Since my spiritual force raises my actual level by two, I'm actually an 'advanced level warlord'. In other words, I can openly and easily defeat advanced level warlords" Luo Feng was extremely happy.

  Last time, he killed the old veteran named Liu and the white brute by instantly ambushing them from behind when they weren't prepared!

  If he attacked front on, then Luo Feng wouldn't have a 100% chance of victory. However, the current Luo Feng could destroy the two of them even without ambushing! Spirit readers can destroy fighters of the same level and can fight fighters beyond their level! This is a known fact in the circle of fighters.

  "As of now, I can fight against a beginner level wargod!"

  "If I play dirty and rely on my spiritual force, it wouldn't be too difficult to kill a beginner level wargod"r />
  Luo Feng indeed improves quickly. It has only been 8 months since he has awakened, and his strength already rivals a beginner level wargod!

  This isn't that weird though since Luo Feng is an extremely rare spirit reader. The value of a spirit reader is unrivaled. When they are born, their initially weak spiritual force naturally agglomerates and stays hidden in their minds.

  Spiritual force turns into the state of a liquid for those who have less of it.

  And for those who have more, it exists as a combination between liquid and solid. The more solid there is, the more spiritual force.

  And for those with an extraordinarily large amount of spiritual force, it exists only as a solid!

  Luo Feng is one of those people possessing that astonishing amount of spiritual force. His rate of growth should already be startling but, once you add the ultimate instruction manual, the��Nine Stage Thunder Blade��, and Luo Feng's own bitter training..... Luo Feng's rate of growth reaches an alarming rate.

  In just 8 short months, he's already comparable to an amazing 'beginner level wargod'!

  However, when compared to 'Hong' and 'Thunder God', there's still a difference. 'Hong' and 'Thunder God' became existences that surpassed the wargod existence during the Grand Nirvana period; their rate of growth was even more startling!

  "The dark, golden ball in my conscience holds a huge amount of spiritual force. It's just that my body isn't powerful enough to handle it, so the spiritual force can only exist in that dark, golden ball" Luo Feng held his cup of tea and lightly took a sip. The aroma of the tea emanated in his mouth, "So, the stronger my body becomes, the stronger my spiritual force becomes"

  "Right now, I should increase my body fitness level as fast as possible!"

  Luo Feng entered "Ways to raise body fitness level" in the board's search function and quickly found a large amount of threads. Clearly, this topic has been discussed by a lot of people.

  Luo Feng clicked some of the threads with the highest amount of replies.

  "Ways, what ways?"

  "Genetic medicine? The price isn't expensive and, through captain's friends, I can buy some with 200 million. However, this genetic medicine damages the body quite a bit. After using it to raise your skill, it'll be hard to raise it any further" Luo Feng slightly shook his head. Genetic medicine usually cuts off all your future hope.
