One punch took out the force testing machine?
Hearing Lu Fei's words, all the prospective warriors present were dumbfounded. This was probably the strength of a warrior! A warrior level coming to the prospective warrior assessment?
Seeing Lu Fei's smug look, everyone couldn't help but feel absurd! And at this moment.
Jiang Li and Luo Feng followed Wu Tong to the second floor of a quiet small building.
In the living room on the second floor, several people gathered together, and the God of War who had just broken through the air was also among them.
"Director!"
Luo Feng was the first to recognize one of them. It was Zhuge Tao, who had recruited him into the Limit Martial Arts Academy in advance, and was also one of the three directors of the Jiangnan Branch.
"Alright, Luo Feng, you and Wu Tong sit over there… hmm?"
Zhuge Tao, dressed in a dark combat suit, said calmly. His gaze swept over Jiang Li, and his expression suddenly changed: "So you're Jiang Li? You've improved quickly!"
He knew Jiang Li was a warrior-level fighter a month ago. Now, it seemed he was an advanced warrior, on the verge of becoming a commander-level fighter.
A commander-level fighter at twenty years old was a rare talent in the world.
"Jiang Li, let me introduce myself first."
At this moment, a god of war-level powerhouse sitting next to Zhuge Tao suddenly spoke: "My name is Lei Meng, one of the Inspectors of the Thunderbolt Martial Arts Academy."
As soon as these words were spoken, the other two young people following the Thunderbolt Martial Arts Academy's supervisor stood up with a 'swish', hurriedly saluting Lei Meng: "Greetings, Inspector!"
Gods of War were powerful and held high status, but they only represented a martial artist's strength.
Being an Inspector meant being a warrior-god first and foremost. They were also high-ranking members of the martial arts academies, backed by a multitude of warrior-gods. Their power and status far surpassed that of a regular warrior-god.
Could the Inspector have come specifically for this Jiang Li?
At that moment, everyone present had the same thought.
"Hello."
Jiang Li clasped his hands in a gesture of respect, his demeanor neither servile nor arrogant. "Inspector Lei!"
"Zhuge, you should be able to see his strength. Since he's participating in the assessment at your Limit Martial Arts Academy, I won't bully him. You name the terms first!"
Lei Meng smiled and nodded at Jiang Li, then turned his gaze to Zhuge Tao.
This confused the others, and even Wu Tong was a bit bewildered.
But Jiang Li understood. They likely saw that his strength had reached the level of a Beginner Warlord, but he wasn't sure if they could see into his soul!
"Then I'll thank Inspector Lei first!"
Zhuge Tao's gaze landed on Jiang Li, and he said solemnly, "Jiang Li, are you willing to join my Limit Martial Arts Academy right now? Wu Tong should have told you the conditions before…"
"However, both you and Luo Feng are rare talents…"
"You can choose any Movement Technique, Guidance Technique, or Secret Manual, within a budget of one hundred million, and I'll pay for it."
"One hundred million?"
Hearing this amount, the other two young people who had been recruited by the Thunderbolt Martial Arts Academy couldn't help but gasp.
"Brother Jiang…"
Luo Feng whispered, seemingly hoping Jiang Li would join Limit Martial Arts Academy.
"Zhuge, is that all?"
Before Jiang Li could answer, Lei Meng chuckled, "Then I won't be polite."
Zhuge Tao: "…"
"Jiang Li, join Thunderbolt Martial Arts Academy, and I'll cover the cost of your Movement Technique, Guidance Technique, and Secret Manual, up to one billion."
Lei Meng spoke with a bold air, offering an impossible-to-refuse condition: "In addition, if you encounter any problems with your training, you can ask me for advice at any time, and I can promise you that the head of the academy will give you guidance at least three times a year!"
"What!!!"
Everyone was struck dumb, as if by lightning, utterly aghast.
Even Zhuge Tao was jolted awake, his eyes widening like bronze bells as he stared at Lei Meng.
What were tens of billions, hundreds of billions? Those were just numbers.
What truly shocked them was the guidance from the head of the academy!
Guidance from the world's second-ranked, Thunder God?
This condition… was a bit much!
"Inspector Lei, don't spout nonsense!"
Zhuge Tao, though shocked, couldn't believe that the aloof head of the academy would personally guide a warrior-level martial artist.
He was also a high-level warrior, and it was difficult enough for him to even meet 'Hong', let alone receive his guidance.
"Jiang Li, I can promise you, and of course, I won't go back on my word!"
Lei Meng ignored Zhuge Tao. He wouldn't dare say this to other geniuses, but if it involved that person...
This was a sure thing.
"I'm sorry, Inspector Lei!"
Under the gaze of everyone's expectant eyes, Jiang Li smiled calmly, "I promised Ling Ling that I would join the Limit Martial Arts Academy!"
"What?"
Zhuge Tao and the others were stunned.
Lei Meng wasn't angry at being rejected. Instead, he smiled, "It's good to listen to your wife. Alright, here's my contact information. If you run into any trouble you can't solve, feel free to contact me."
Saying this, Lei Meng gave Jiang Li a number.
Lei Meng's actions left everyone present dumbfounded.
Just who was this Jiang Li?
Not only had he rejected the Thunderbolt Martial Arts Academy's tempting offer, but Lei Meng, an Inspector of all people, was repeatedly trying to befriend him? You don't even have the last name Lei!
Could he be Lei Meng's cousin or something?
After saving the number, Jiang Li nodded slightly at Lei Meng. Both of them understood Ling Ling's identity without needing to say anything.
Furthermore.
Jiang Li knew that with his rapid increase in strength, meeting the Thunder God was inevitable. As for guidance...
Ignoring his wife's relationship with the Thunder God, with his current cultivation speed, there wouldn't be much time left for the Thunder God to guide him anyway.
"Inspector Lei, I'm sorry about that."
Zhuge Tao smiled awkwardly. He of course knew that it wasn't his conditions that had attracted Jiang Li. "Wu Tong, go draft a contract. According to the rules of the martial arts academy, add a clause that Jiang Li can choose any Movement Technique, Guidance Technique, or Secret Manual, with a price limit of five hundred million, paid for by me!"
"Five hundred million?!"
Compared to what Zhuge Tao had just offered, it was a full two and a half times more.
"Jiang Li thanks Manager Zhuge, and thanks Inspector Lei!"
Jiang Li happily accepted their goodwill.
"Haha, a small amount!"
Zhuge Tao laughed, looked at Lei Meng, and said, "Inspector Lei and I both think highly of you. Don't worry about this small amount. And Luo Feng, it's the same for you. When you reach the Warlord level, you'll get even more resources!"
"War-God level?!"
"You mean..."
Luo Feng was shocked, his gaze fixed on Jiang Li. "Jiang Li, you... you're already a War-God level warrior?"
"What?!"
Wu Tong and the others from Thunderbolt Martial Arts Academy were also stunned, staring at Jiang Li in disbelief!
What's going on? A War-God level expert is taking the martial artist assessment?
Are they kidding? Especially Wu Tong, his mind was reeling.
How long had it been since the pre-martial artist assessment?
Jiang Li is already a War-General level warrior?
But, on second thought, it makes sense. Without such rapid progress, how could an Inspector come in person to recruit him?
"Oh, right, Brother Wang, isn't that young man of yours going to compete with our Limit Martial Arts Academy's new recruits for points?"
The "Brother Wang" Zhuge Tao mentioned was the head of the Thunderbolt Martial Arts Academy.
!!!
Hearing this, the faces of the three people immediately stiffened.
"Hahaha!"
Seeing the stiff expressions of the three from the Thunderbolt Martial Arts Academy, Zhuge Tao laughed heartily, not caring at all about Lei Meng's feelings.
In fact.
From the outside, the two academies seemed to be in a competitive relationship, but in reality, the relationship between the higher-ups was quite good.
"You youngsters, work hard!"
"I'm off."
Lei Meng didn't mind, and with a flicker, he turned into an afterimage and flew away from the second-floor balcony.
Afterwards, Wu Tong had someone bring over the contract he'd prepared and handed it to Jiang Li, saying, "Jiang Li, just sign here, here, and here."
Jiang Li took the contract; the terms were very clear, without any complicated jargon, and immediately signed it.
"Jiang Li, welcome to the Limit Martial Arts Academy family!"
Zhuge Tao extended his hand to Jiang Li with a smile: "After the practical assessment, your warrior privileges will be activated. You can then purchase the items you need through the academy's internal network, and the starting funds will also be transferred to your warrior account."
"Alright!"
Jiang Li also reached out and shook hands with Zhuge Tao.
