"Mom, Dad, I'm going to the 'Extreme Guild' in the city center. I might not be back for lunch today." After finishing a big bowl of porridge and three pancakes, Luo Feng stood up. "You can wait for my good news today. Once I pass the assessment, I'll call you immediately."
Mother Gong Xinlan glanced at Luo Hongguo with a smile. "Hongguo, did you hear that? Make sure to keep your phone with you. Don't let your son not be able to find you later."
"I'll definitely have my phone with me." Luo Hongguo chuckled.
"Okay, I'm going out." Luo Feng winked at his younger brother, Luo Hua, who raised his thumbs up and smiled.
...
Early in the morning, Luo Feng left the Nan'an District and took the No. 11 subway line to the "Zhong'an Road Station," then transferred to Line 1 and arrived at the central area of Yangzhou City. After exiting the subway station, he walked for ten minutes before reaching the headquarters of the Extreme Martial Arts Hall in Yangzhou City—the Extreme Guild.
It was only a little past six when he left home, but by the time Luo Feng reached his destination, it was almost eight in the morning.
"So this is the legendary Mingyue Residential Area?" Luo Feng stood outside the gate of a quiet residential area. This residential area was called "Mingyue Residential Area," and the Extreme Guild was located within it.
"Sir, this is the Mingyue Residential Area. Please do not approach." A row of six soldiers dressed in military uniforms stood at the entrance of the residential area. Judging from their uniforms... these people were not from the police system, but from the military system. One of the soldiers shouted at Luo Feng, "Sir, please step back. Once you enter the yellow zone, we have the right to shoot you on sight!"
"Just as rumored," Luo Feng sighed inwardly.
The Mingyue Residential Area was the headquarters of the Extreme Martial Arts Hall in Yangzhou City!
Here, not only did the Extreme Guild exist, but it was also the residence of the families of the warriors under the Extreme Martial Arts Hall.
"It is said that those who live here are all warriors and their families! Even the police are not qualified to trespass." Luo Feng was amazed.
"Everyone." Luo Feng stood at the entrance of the residential area and spoke, "I am Luo Feng, a senior student of the Extreme Martial Arts Hall. I am here to take the Pre-Warrior Assessment." Every first of the month, the Extreme Guild held the Pre-Warrior Assessment.
"Oh?"
A middle-aged man with graying hair walked out of the guard rest area next to the residential area, holding a palm-sized computer in his hand. "Young man, you're here quite early. It's not even eight o'clock yet. To undergo the Pre-Warrior Assessment at such a young age, your future is limitless. Alright, let me check your ID card and senior student card."
Luo Feng handed over his ID card and student card.
"Beep!"
The ID card and senior student card were swiped on the palm-sized computer, and information appeared successively on the screen.
"18 years old?" The middle-aged man with graying hair looked at Luo Feng in surprise and smiled, "18 years old, and you dare to take the Pre-Warrior Assessment. Not bad, I hope you can pass today."
"Thank you, sir," Luo Feng replied.
"Let him in." The middle-aged man waved his hand.
Immediately, the electric gate of the residential area opened automatically, and a soldier with an assault rifle stepped forward and followed Luo Feng. "Sir, I will take you to the Extreme Guild. Please do not wander around after entering the residential area! You only have permission to enter the Extreme Guild, and you are not allowed to enter the accommodation area for the families of the warriors. If you violate the rules, even if I don't take action, the patrol brothers in the residential area will."
"I understand." Luo Feng smiled and nodded, feeling surprised in his heart...
Indeed, there was a cooperative relationship between the country and the Extreme Martial Arts Hall. At least, the core area of the Extreme Martial Arts Hall was highly protected.
"Wow, these are all detached villas." Luo Feng looked around and saw rows of detached villas, except for the tall Extreme Guild building in the center of the residential area. In between the villas, there were rockeries, ponds, and lawns.
...
In the center of the Mingyue Residential Area, inside the Extreme Guild, when Luo Feng stepped into the lobby of the Extreme Guild, the soldier accompanying him went back.
"Sir, are you here for the Pre-Warrior Assessment?" A sweet-faced girl in the lobby smiled, "Sir, please sit over there. The Pre-Warrior Assessment will begin at ten o'clock with everyone else."
Luo Feng nodded and walked to the side of the lobby. There was a small bar here, with a waiter and a bartender.
"Hmm?" Luo Feng glanced around and saw that there were already three people sitting in the small bar.
Two of them were chatting, while the other person was sitting silently on another sofa.
"Look, those rows of detached villas over there are the benefits for joining the Extreme Martial Arts Hall as a warrior." A young man in white pants and a white shirt said excitedly. "As long as you become a warrior and join the Extreme Martial Arts Hall, you can be assigned one for free. And you can live here in the future... Hmm, look at this environment, how comfortable."
"The warrior residential area is definitely different from the ordinary residential area outside. Look, there's a newcomer." The three of them also noticed Luo Feng. Luo Feng nodded at the three of them, then sat down on another sofa nearby.
Since they didn't know each other, there was no conversation between them.
As time passed, three more people arrived. Luo Feng didn't know these three either, but they seemed to be older, probably over thirty, or even forty.
"Hey, Luo Feng!" a loud voice rang out.
Luo Feng was surprised and turned his head to see a thin man with a scar on his face walking towards him. "Are you here to take the Pre-Warrior Assessment too?"
"Yang Ge?" Luo Feng stood up and greeted him.
"Speaking of embarrassment, I tested last month. Unfortunately—I only reached 24.9 meters per second in speed. It was just a little bit short, and I didn't pass!" Yang Wu said helplessly. In fact, in terms of punching power and reaction speed, Yang Wu had already passed, but speed was his weakness.
However, since this year, Yang Wu had also gradually improved in speed. There was not much difference between 24.9 meters and 25 meters, and with a slightly better temporary state, his score could be 25 meters.
"I believe you will definitely pass this time, Yang Ge," Luo Feng said with a smile.
"This guy surnamed Yang has tested several times and still hasn't passed. I think it's doubtful this time too." A loud voice came from beside them.
Luo Feng looked over and saw a muscular man with a stubble. Yang Wu immediately glared at him, "Tong
, you're talking about me, but you've also tested twice and haven't passed? I think with your reaction speed, you'll probably have to practice for another two or three years."
"Quiet." A cold voice came from the center of the lobby.
Suddenly, all eight people turned their heads to see a middle-aged man with disheveled long hair. "Let's go, follow me upstairs and undergo the Pre-Warrior Assessment immediately. Remember, behave when you get upstairs. Our total instructor's old friend is coming today. Don't cause trouble."
"Yes." Whether it was the previously arrogant Tong or Yang Wu or Luo Feng, everyone respectfully agreed.
"The total instructor's old friend?" Luo Feng couldn't help but speculate.
You should know that in Yangzhou City, there is an Extreme Guild and 12 Extreme Martial Arts Halls. The instructors of each district's Extreme Martial Arts Hall are called "instructors," and the instructor of the headquarters Extreme Guild is called the "total instructor."
After entering the elevator, the middle-aged man in loose sportswear pressed the button for the sixth floor.
"Ding!" The elevator arrived at the sixth floor.
The elevator door opened, revealing a huge martial arts hall. There were more than a dozen people gathered in the martial arts hall, including Instructor 'Jiang Nian,' whom Luo Feng recognized.
"Someone's here, stop chatting." A middle-aged man with disheveled long hair spoke, and all the people in the martial arts hall turned to look at Luo Feng and the other seven people. Faced with the gaze of these more than ten people, Luo Feng and the others felt a tightness in their hearts. They knew... aside from the staff, only warriors appeared in the Extreme Guild.
In other words, these more than ten people were all warriors! After all, this was the headquarters of the Extreme Martial Arts Hall in Yangzhou City.
"Get ready for the test." The middle-aged man with disheveled long hair ordered.
Luo Feng had seen this middle-aged man with disheveled long hair on the internet. This person was the owner of the Extreme Guild, the total instructor of Yangzhou City, 'Wu Tong.'
"One by one, give me your ID cards first." The soldier who had led Luo Feng and the others up took the ID cards from all eight people and handed them to Total Instructor 'Wu Tong.' He smiled, "Boss, there are quite a few people today. There are eight!"
"Well." Wu Tong casually took out an ID card and slid it over the instrument next to him.
"Beep!"
A crystal-clear screen, seemingly transparent, popped up on the instrument screen, displaying a large amount of personal information.
"The first one, Tong Guan." The total instructor said indifferently, "Proceed with the punching power test. It's interesting that people from the military are coming to our Extreme Guild for assessment."
Hearing this, Luo Feng couldn't help but smile. The Extreme Martial Arts Hall was founded by the world's top warriors and had branches all over the world. The assessment of the Extreme Martial Arts Hall was credible and highly regarded. The assessment results were recognized in various countries and regions around the world.
Even the military or some families with inherited martial arts would come to the Extreme Martial Arts Hall for assessment.
"Test punching power." The total instructor ordered.
"Yes."
The burly man with stubble stepped forward, then his eyes widened, his left hand blocking in front of his face, and his right fist drew an arc and smashed onto the giant punching target. The punching target only trembled slightly. The number immediately appeared on the screen of the punching power testing machine—'986kg.'
"Pass. Next, Luo Feng." The total instructor casually slid the second ID card over the instrument, glanced at the detailed record information on the ID, and couldn't help but be surprised. "Hmm, 18 years old? Old Jiang, is he from your Yi'an District? When did such a talented young man appear?"
"Haha." Instructor 'Jiang Nian' next to him couldn't help but laugh heartily.
"Whether he has the strength remains to be seen." Among the more than ten warriors nearby, there was a fat old man who teased, "Maybe he's just here to see the world and doesn't have any real strength."
Instructor Jiang Nian glanced at him. "What, jealous? Don't you have any talents like this in your Beiyou District? Luo Feng, show them the strength of my Yi'an District students."
"Yes, Instructor." Luo Feng stepped forward and responded loudly, then walked to the punching power testing machine.
