After dinner, Mom and Dad took my little brother Luo Hua downstairs for a walk, while I went to do some tutoring on my own.
Around six in the evening, it was almost completely dark.
"This tutoring job is also coming to a temporary end." Luo Feng moved through the alleys like a leopard, agile and swift. Ahead was a dead end, but Luo Feng leaped, soaring over two meters, his left hand lightly resting on the wall, and with a slight exertion, he reached the other side of the alley.
Running ahead was also a warm-up before tutoring.
At this moment, Luo Feng's speed was maintained at 15 meters per second, which is about 54 kilometers per hour. This speed was not his maximum, but it was enough for a warm-up.
Phew! Phew!
"It's only a month until the college entrance examination, so I'll stop tutoring for now. I've earned twenty thousand yuan in the past six months." It was only last year that he earned the title of "Advanced Student," which made it easier for him to find tutoring work teaching a young boy basic body skills.
The pay was one hundred yuan per hour.
He tutored five days a week, one hour each evening. In other words, he earned over two thousand yuan a month.
"Dad works hard all day, and his monthly salary is only two to three thousand. I'm just tutoring for an hour, yet I make so much more than him... This is the difference between ordinary people and advanced students of the martial arts school! And if I can become a 'Warrior,' the difference will be astonishing." Luo Feng's eyes narrowed. Ahead in the alley, a truck was making a U-turn, blocking the way.
But Luo Feng didn't slow down. While running, he suddenly pushed off the ground, leaping two to three meters high. Then he took two steps on the wall of the alley and leaped down, continuing to move forward quickly.
After a moment, Luo Feng had run to a quiet residential area.
"This is where Mom and Dad should live." Luo Feng stopped and looked at the quiet residential area in front of him. The residential density of this neighborhood was relatively low, with artificial ponds and plenty of flowers, trees, and greenery. Even the high-rise buildings had rooftop gardens.
In addition to high-rise buildings, there were also row houses.
You see—
Nowadays, there are a total of six major bases in Huaxia, which are the six major cities! Each city has a staggering population, with Jiangnan City having nearly two billion people. Naturally, land is very scarce. Houses like 'stacked villas' and 'row houses' are very rare and expensive. And the more extravagant 'detached villas' require paying huge luxury taxes.
"I'm going to Building 18, Apartment 1801." Standing at the entrance of the neighborhood, Luo Feng said to the security guard.
"Just a moment." The security guard pressed a button on the intercom, and immediately the nearby camera focused on Luo Feng. A voice came from the intercom in Apartment 1801, "It's Xiao Luo, let him in."
"Okay, sir." The security guard immediately let him through.
...
An hour later, Luo Feng walked out of the neighborhood.
"Hmm, tutoring is over. I'll go to the martial arts school to see if my recent progress has improved."
...
Extreme Martial Arts School, the largest martial arts school on Earth, founded by the world's strongest, Hong.
Various martial arts schools are located all over the world.
"Beep!" Luo Feng swiped his student card at the main entrance of the martial arts school and entered the school compound.
Extreme Martial Arts School, like a huge monster, sits there. In terms of land area, it is larger than a high school. The main entrance of the martial arts school is wide enough for ten cars to enter side by side. Inside the school compound are three giant silver-white buildings, each resembling a spaceship.
"Senior brother!"
"Hello, senior brother."
On the roads and lawns inside the martial arts school, there are many martial arts students. When they saw Luo Feng's advanced student card hanging from his chest, they immediately showed great respect.
Inside the martial arts school, the three giant buildings are the teaching buildings for junior, intermediate, and advanced students.
Among them, the first and second floors of the advanced student teaching building are large lecture halls, each capable of accommodating thousands of people. The instructors of the martial arts school give lectures in these large lecture halls. There are about thirty to forty thousand students in the entire Extreme Martial Arts School.
You have to be sixteen years old to become a martial arts school student and start learning. After thirty years old, you are prohibited from studying in the martial arts school to avoid occupying teaching resources.
The total number of advanced students in the martial arts school is only a few hundred. Most of them are in their twenties.
And Luo Feng is only eighteen years old.
"Hello, senior brother."
Luo Feng listened to the respectful greetings all the way and entered the third floor of the advanced student teaching building, which is the place only accessible to advanced students.
The third floor is a large martial arts hall with a length and width of a hundred meters, with about a dozen people inside.
"Freak."
"Freak, you're here."
As soon as he entered the large martial arts hall, these dozen or so advanced students greeted him warmly.
"Wang Ge, Yang Ge, Sister Li." Luo Feng smiled and greeted this group of older brothers and sisters, feeling warm in his heart. These dozen or so people are all over twenty years old, and Luo Feng is naturally the youngest among them. Of course, there are more than a dozen "advanced students" in the Yian District's Extreme Martial Arts School. However, most of them are too lazy to come unless there are no teachers to teach them.
Unless they are poor and have nowhere to practice, wealthy families generally have their own dedicated practice rooms.
So—
These dozen or so people almost all live in low-rent housing. Because they all belong to poor families, they naturally stick together and form small groups. And Luo Feng, relying on his anger towards three wealthy families, defeated them all, earning himself the nickname "Freak."
"I've been practicing for half a month. I wonder how much my strength has improved."
Luo Feng walked to the corner of the martial arts hall to the "Strength Testing Machine." In the corner of the martial arts hall, there are two "Strength Testing Machines" placed side by side. Whether it's the "Intermediate Student Assessment," the "Advanced Student Assessment," or even the "Warrior Assessment," strength testing is required.
"Inhale, exhale." Luo Feng took a deep breath and completely relaxed his body. Suddenly, his gaze sharpened, and his whole body seemed to be like a lazy lion suddenly bursting out. The spine of his body instantly tightened like a bowstring, and the force from his feet reached his hips. Through the spine, Luo Feng's right fist burst out like a cannonball, tracing an arc—
"Boom!" Luo Feng's right fist hit the punching target of the Strength Testing Machine.
The punching target shook violently.
Instantly, the number "809kg" appeared on the screen of the Strength Testing Machine.
"Freak, not bad. You've passed the eight hundred kilogram mark." A tall
and thin man over six feet tall, with a scar on his face, clapped and exclaimed. This man's name is Yang Wu, one of the top three advanced students in the Extreme Martial Arts School. However, he is slightly lacking in speed; otherwise, he would have passed the "Quasi-Warrior Assessment" long ago.
To become a warrior, an advanced student needs to pass two assessments—
The first is the martial artist's physical fitness assessment, also known as the "Quasi-Warrior Assessment." Once passed, it means that one has reached the standard of becoming a warrior in terms of physical fitness. At this point, one is considered a "Quasi-Warrior."
The second assessment is the "Warrior Combat Assessment."
Having physical fitness alone does not qualify one to become a warrior. Only by passing the real combat test against monsters can one obtain the title of "Warrior."
"Do you want to test your speed? Sure." Yang Wu smiled and walked to the side of the track, opening the speed testing device.
"Click!"
The speed testing device turned on, and the camera lit up.
"Phew, phew." Luo Feng adjusted his breath, stood on the track, which was sixty meters long. The area near the speed testing device was the speed testing area.
Luo Feng suddenly exerted force!
Whoosh!
In almost the blink of an eye, Luo Feng accelerated to his maximum speed. With powerful strides, he generated a strong sprinting force, making him like an arrow leaving a bowstring, swiftly flying along the track, bringing a gust of wind. He rushed through the speed testing area. Afterward, Luo Feng naturally slowed down and stopped.
"How much?" Luo Feng smiled as he walked over.
"Wow, Freak, you've made some progress compared to last time. Not bad, not bad." Yang Ge looked at the number displayed on the screen of the speed testing device in amazement and exclaimed, "Come and see for yourself."
Luo Feng walked over and saw the number on the screen—"23.8 m/s."
"Not bad."
Luo Feng wasn't too happy. The "Quasi-Warrior Assessment" for advanced students has three tests in total. They are strength (punching power), speed, and nerve reaction time. Luo Feng has a talent for nerve reaction time and has barely reached the standard for becoming a warrior in this aspect.
However—
For strength (punching power), the passing score for the "Quasi-Warrior Assessment" is 900 kilograms! For speed, the passing score is 25 meters per second! In other words, running one hundred meters in four seconds.
