Luo Fan did not hide anything, nor did he need to.
"That's right, I mastered it during my training in the Australian continent."
When Hong heard this, his gaze toward Luo Fan became even gentler.
"Good!"
"I didn't expect that at the Warlord level, you had already mastered intent."
"And you've only been cultivating for such a short time."
"Now, you've even broken through to the Planetary level."
"This time, I want to ask you, are you willing to join the Extreme Martial Hall and become an Inspector?"
"If you join, I can give you a battle blade above SS-grade, a secret technique for Spiritual Masters, a Spiritual Master weapon, and the Black God Set."
One could say Hong had brought out the very foundation of his collection.
Aside from wanting to attract Luo Fan to become an Inspector of the Extreme Martial Hall, the main purpose was also to take this opportunity to cultivate him.
In Luo Fan, he saw endless potential.
If he followed his feeling...
Luo Fan was very likely to be the next person standing by his side, together with Thunder God.
Because he knew about information beyond Earth, Hong had this urgent desire to improve the strength of Earthlings.
As for things related to Spiritual Masters, he couldn't use them himself, so it was better to give them to a Spiritual Master with exceptional talent.
In the original story, Hong had used the opportunity to give the Sky Shuttle to Luo Feng.
Would he not know how precious the Sky Shuttle was?
Just from the material alone, it was clearly no ordinary thing.
Some Spirits of Grass and Wood that were of little use to him—how could they compare to the Sky Shuttle?
So, Luo Feng obtaining the Sky Shuttle could be said to be something Hong deliberately arranged for him.
And now, with Luo Fan, whose talent was even greater than Luo Feng's in the original story, Hong made the same choice.
However, under Hong's astonished gaze, Luo Fan shook his head.
The things Hong offered were completely useless to him.
At most, the Black God Set had a little bit of use.
But that was all.
"No, Master. I still prefer a bit more freedom."
"But since Master has shown me kindness, if you ever need me, you can call on me at any time."
"Besides, I am also a member of the Extreme Martial Hall."
Hearing this, Hong did not press him further, but instead gave Luo Fan a deep look.
"It seems you've had some extraordinary opportunities."
At these words, Luo Fan gave a carefree smile and did not deny it.
He knew Hong was not the type to pry into others' secrets.
At this moment, Hong continued.
"I previously watched your recording in the Training Tower."
"Your secret technique seems to be modified from Thunder God's Ninefold Thunder Blade, with even stronger force."
"Do you plan to sell this modified secret technique?"
Right now, in Hong's gaze toward Luo Fan, there was a trace of anticipation.
After all, he could tell that Luo Fan's secret technique was more refined.
And it was very likely that it could allow both him and Thunder God to achieve another breakthrough in power exertion.
Especially Thunder God.
It was obvious at a glance that the Ninety-Nine Thunder Blade was improved from the Ninefold Thunder Blade.
Although it was a system reward given to Luo Fan, making it especially suited for him—
As the creator of the Ninefold Thunder Blade, apart from Luo Fan, no one on Earth was more suitable to wield the Ninety-Nine Thunder Blade than Thunder God himself.
Hearing Hong's words, Luo Fan did not hesitate.
"Yes, I've currently created eleven forms, capable of increasing force to twelve times."
That's right, the tenth and eleventh forms of the Ninety-Nine Thunder Blade, Luo Fan had also cultivated to perfection.
After all, when cultivating later techniques, the earlier forms could also gain proficiency.
It was just that the proficiency of these two forms was not as high as the first nine, having only just reached the perfected level.
He planned to first teach these eleven forms to Hong.
As for the later ones, he would pass them on after he himself had mastered them.
Anyway, no one else could possibly master them as fast as he could.
After all, he was extremely hardworking (crossed out)… rather, he had cheats!
"These eleven forms can be released for sale first."
"Each form can increase force by onefold."
"Not only that, the force can also be applied to defense and speed."
Hearing this, Hong's eyes immediately lit up, and his face revealed a look of contemplation.
"To apply force to defense and speed…"
"This idea is truly bold!"
"Can you demonstrate the eleven modified forms of your secret technique for me?"
At this moment, there was a trace of expectation in Hong's gaze toward Luo Fan.
Luo Fan nodded.
"No problem, but should I demonstrate it here?"
Hong shook his head and continued.
"Let's go to my private training room. Can we have Thunder God come along as well?"
Hearing this, Luo Fan agreed.
After all, teaching one or teaching two was the same.
Upon hearing this, Hong stood up and led Luo Fan to a training room deep beneath headquarters.
On the way, Hong sent a message to Thunder God.
Thunder God immediately, impatiently, called back.
"Brother Hong!"
"Have Luo Fan wait for me!"
"Let him demonstrate only after I arrive!"
"Brother, you're my real brother, I'm begging you!"
Standing to the side, Luo Fan couldn't help but twitch his lips at Thunder God's rather unreliable voice.
Hong expressionlessly agreed and then hung up the call.
The two of them continued on in silence.
As for what Thunder God had just said, both chose, tacitly, to forget it.
After arriving at the training room, Luo Fan found it somewhat familiar.
It was exactly the same as the gravity chamber in the Elite Training Camp.
He guessed that this must be Hong's personal gravity chamber.
After waiting for a while, Thunder God arrived.
Thunder God was a bald man who looked quite young, carrying a somewhat carefree and unruly demeanor.
The moment he saw Luo Fan, Thunder God flew straight over, wrapped his arm around him, and said:
"You're Luo Fan, the one who improved the Ninefold Thunder Blade?"
"Awesome!"
"Do you want to join my Thunder and Lightning Martial Hall?"
Off to the side, Hong had a dark line across his face.
Having dealt with Thunder God for many years, he knew this was just his personality.
"Ahem, he belongs to my Extreme Martial Hall."
"Luo Fan, go ahead and begin the demonstration."
Hearing this, Luo Fan nodded.
At this moment, Thunder God also let go of Luo Fan, standing to the side with a serious expression.
In the next moment, a battle blade appeared in Luo Fan's hand.
It was the third-rank battle blade he had obtained earlier.
Although it was a third-rank blade, its appearance was identical to the first-rank battle blade and the SS-grade battle blade Luo Fan had previously used.
So, Luo Fan didn't even need to get familiar with it, he could wield it right away.
Thunder God's eyes lit up as he looked at the battle blade that suddenly appeared in Luo Fan's hand.
At this moment, he was practically drooling.
Aside from the battle blade, there was also Luo Fan's spatial equipment.
In his eyes, what Luo Fan had just used was spatial equipment.
Even he didn't have such a thing, only Hong had one.
He had coveted one for a long time.
And that battle blade, with its whole body covered in blue secret patterns.
It was clearly extraordinary.
Thunder God also coveted it immensely.
However, he only looked; though he was carefree, he would never actually try to snatch Luo Fan's weapon.
It was precisely because Luo Fan knew this that he dared to openly reveal his battle blade.
"The Ninefold Thunder Blade, after my improvement, I've named it the Ninety-Nine Thunder Blade."
"What I'm going to demonstrate next are the first eleven forms of the Ninety-Nine Thunder Blade!"
