"How is this possible?"
"The headquarters' punch force testing machine can withstand a hundred tons of force!!!"
Not only did Zhuge Tao's eyes widen, but even the two war gods' expressions changed repeatedly.
'Beep!' 'Beep!' 'Beep!'
At this moment, a set of numbers finally appeared on the display: '99999KG'!
"A hundred tons of force!"
Yang Hui, a war god, couldn't help but twitch his lips: "Almost a full blow from an elementary war god!"
"Envoy, you may have to take back what you just said!"
Zhou Zhengyong took two deep breaths and laughed heartily. "Nearly eight times the power output... he'd need at least the sixth level of the Ninefold Thunderblade to achieve that…"
"The B-rank test is very likely to be passed by Jiang Li!"
!!!
"Sixth level?"
"How is that possible?"
Zhuge Tao's eyes widened, a flicker of fear crossing them. "Jiang Li only bought the first three levels of the Ninefold Thunderblade manual. And he only has the first level of World Destruction!"
You see…
No matter if it's from the Limit Martial Arts Dojo, the Lightning Martial Arts Dojo, or other forces, the copyright of the manuals belongs to the creator.
Purchasers only have the right to study the techniques. Anyone who leaks, privately transmits, or sells them will be hunted down by the Limit Martial Arts Dojo, Lightning Martial Arts Dojo, Underground Alliance, and the military. Even those beyond the level of a War God wouldn't dare do such a thing! In other words…
Jiang Li only purchased the first three levels of the Ninefold Thunderblade technique. If he were to use the sixth level, not only would he not receive training from the Limit Martial Arts Dojo, but he would also be hunted by various factions.
Of course, this would require concrete evidence.
"Let's not worry about that for now…"
Yang Hui waved his hand, not offering further explanation. "Zhuge, you should think about the repair costs for the training hall!"
"Special envoy, it seems you were the one who told him to go all out?"
Zhuge Tao's lips twitched slightly.
This was a training hall made of mixed A3 metal, a material that could withstand a full blow from a high-level Warlord. The repair costs would be at least a billion Xia Currency!
"Jiang Li, I underestimated you!"
When Jiang Li returned, Yang Hui didn't mince words, and apologized directly. "I take back what I said earlier. With your current condition, passing the B-rank test shouldn't be too difficult!"
"Special Envoy Yang flatters me!"
Jiang Li didn't take offense at Yang Hui's words. He glanced at the leaky hole and felt a little embarrassed. "That hole?"
"Jiang Li, those are minor issues. I'll take care of it!"
Zhuge Tao laughed heartily, then handed Jiang Li a contract. "This is the Special Training Contract. Take a look first."
"Okay."
Jiang Li took the contract and scanned the clauses. It was the same as the previous one, straightforward and without any jargon.
After signing the four contracts, Yang Hui took out a jade seal from his pocket and stamped it. "One copy is for you, and the other three need to go through the internal procedures of the Limit Martial Arts Dojo."
"Also, the ten billion Xia Currency mentioned in the contract, Zhuge will arrange for you."
"You can meet me at the military airport in Jiangnan Base City next March!"
"Alright!"
Jiang Li bid farewell to Yang Hui and the other two, and then took the Limit Martial Arts Dojo's special car back.
Yangzhou City, Bright Moon Estate.
'Beep!'
The Limit Martial Arts Dojo's car stopped directly at the Dojo's entrance. At that moment, Ling Ling was waiting anxiously at the door, along with Wu Tong and Jiang Nian, all waiting for Jiang Li to return.
As soon as Jiang Li got out of the car, Ling Ling rushed over and hugged him tightly, a hint of emotion welling up in her eyes. "Husband!"
"Wife!"
Jiang Li could feel Ling Ling's happiness and concern. He held her in his arms, ignoring the onlookers, and gave her a gentle kiss.
"Haha, it's great to see you all back safe and sound. Jiang Nian, we can go have a good drink now."
Seeing this, Wu Tong laughed knowingly and pulled Jiang Nian away.
Back home...
Jiang Li didn't immediately buy any secret manuals or start training. For three straight days, he accompanied Ling Ling, going shopping, taking walks, buying groceries, and cooking meals. Their little life together was relaxed and comfortable.
In the evening, Jiang Li had just returned home with groceries.
"Jiang-ge, are you free? The captain and the others are here."
Luo Feng called to ask.
"Alright, I'll be over later."
After helping Ling Ling prepare the vegetables, Jiang Li changed into casual clothes and went to the Limit Martial Arts Dojo.
In the small bar on the first floor of the Limit Martial Arts Dojo, Gao Feng, Zhang Ke, Chen Gu, the Wei Brothers, and Luo Feng were sitting together.
"Jiang-ge, over here!"
Seeing Jiang Li arrive, Wei Qing chuckled, "I heard that there was a suspected God of War test at the Jiangnan Base City Dojo a few days ago, and they even smashed their top-of-the-line punching power testing machine..."
"Jiang Li, this wasn't your doing, was it?"
Chen Gu, Zhang Ke, and the others craned their necks, their eyes filled with anticipation.
Their gazes were like those of greedy wolves. Jiang Li feigned surprise and said, "Are you guys here because Manager Zhuge sent you to collect a debt from me?"
"It really was!"
Despite their guesses, the others in the Firehammer Squad couldn't help but look shocked when they heard Jiang Li confirm it.
That was a God of War's strike, a hundred tons of force. How terrifying was that?!
"Jiang Li."
After the shock, Gao Feng spoke with a serious tone, "After you left with the envoy that day, our squad discussed things. Chen Gu, Zhang Ke, and the Wei Brothers have all used Gene Serum!"
"Huh?"
Jiang Li looked at Gao Feng, his brows furrowed. "Captain, if all goes well, I'll be heading to the training camp next March."
He knew about Gene Serum. It could quickly enhance a warrior's physical attributes, but it was also like forcing growth. Using it basically locked in your upper limit.
"We figured as much."
Chen Gu and Zhang Ke exchanged a glance, smiling. "Actually, Zhang Ke and I aren't young anymore. We're pretty much at our limit as Warriors."
"If it weren't for you, Jiang Li, this time, we might have died at the hands of the Tiger Fang Squad."
Zhang Ke said with lingering fear, "It's better to improve our strength now, take more risks, earn enough money, and then we can retire with honor!"
No one was afraid of death.
It's just that everyone is carrying a heavy burden, and many times it's a matter of necessity.
"The effects of the Gene Serum will take about a month to fully manifest, so I plan to go to the Wilderness Zone again before winter."
Gao Feng looked at Jiang Li and Luo Feng and said, "Jiang Li, Luo Feng, what do you think?"
"Alright."
Luo Feng smiled and nodded, "I can cultivate properly during this time. I've gained quite a bit this time in the Wilderness Zone, and I need to properly experience and contemplate it!"
"Brother Jiang, what about you?"
"I have no problem."
Jiang Li smiled slightly and said, "During this time, I can also spend some time with Ling Ling..."
Having made a plan, Jiang Li didn't go to dinner with the Firehammer Squad. Instead, he went home to have a candlelight dinner with Ling Ling.
That evening.
Only strong winds reveal tough grass, and fierce flames reveal pure gold!
It wasn't until the early hours of the morning that Jiang Li changed into a training suit and logged into the Limit Martial Arts Dojo's website, opening his warrior account.
Name: Jiang Li.
Gender: Male.
Address: Jiangnan Base City, Xia Country.
Warrior ID Number: 0109527.
Level: Warlord Level (Advanced).
Contribution Points: 0.
Currency Balance: Xia Currency.
"Even with the billion from the contract, I can only afford the second layer of World Destruction!"
Jiang Li couldn't help but rub his temples.
He, a warrior-level powerhouse, was once again feeling the sting of being 1.45 billion short.
"Purchase! Second layer of World Destruction!"
"Beep!"
"Fingerprint verification approved."
"Purchase successful!"
"Deduction successful!"
"..."
