•••••
After dinner, Larry's mom and dad brought Lester to walk outside while Larry went to his part-time job.
Around 6 PM, the sky was already about to become completely dark.
«This job will have to be on hold soon.» Larry was like a leopard, flexibly moving through the alleys. There was a dead-end in front, but Larry's entire body flew in the air. He jumped over 3 meters high, lightly tapping the top of the wall with his left hand, and fell into the next alley.
Sprinting was his warm-up before tutoring. At this time, Larry's speed was 20 meters per second, or 72 km/hour, which wasn't even his top speed. However, it was able to serve its purpose as a warm-up.
[Light panting]
«One more month until exams, and then I will be able to put the job on hold. I earned 3,600 dollars during this half-year of working.» Having the title of 'Martial Warrior', it was easy for him to find a part-time job, teaching some kids the basics of fighting.
The salary was 20 dollars per hour.
For five days a week, he taught for one hour a day. In other words, his monthly salary would be around 400 dollars.
«Dad works hard all day and only earns around 2-5 thousand dollars a month. I just tutor for an hour and earn so much more than him… This is the difference between a normal person and someone with a title! If I am able to become a 'Titled WarChief', then the difference would be shocking!» Larry looked ahead of him and saw a cargo truck blocking the road
However, Larry didn't slow down at all. He suddenly jumped up to a height of 3-4 meters high and then ran two steps on the side of the wall. He then dropped back down and continued running forwards.
After that──
Larry has already run to the outer part of the southern part of sector 2.
«Someday I will own the whole neighborhood and make my Parents manage it.» Larry stopped and eyed the area in the Southern part of sector 2. The density of the homes in the area was lower than sector 3. Here in the villa area, they have more space than sector 3, every single house has its own garden.
Other than the Villa homes, there are also the mansions and Manors in sector 1.
Know that──
As of now, there are a total of 26 bases in ASEAN; which are the 3 Capital Sanctuaries, 7 Major Sanctuaries, and 16 Minor Sanctuaries. Each city has an astonishingly large population. For example, P-Base Sanctuary's population is nearly 6 million. Naturally, there is very little land. Things like Mansion and Manor are very rare and expensive. The large Manor that takes up even more space cost an enormous amount of money.
"I'm going to #1801 of the 18th Mansion," said Larry to the guardsman outside the Mansion.
"Wait a moment" The guardsman pressed a video-telephone number and shot the camera at Larry. A voice from the video-telephone said, "It's Larry, let him in"
"Alright, sir" The guardsman let him in.
.....
One hour later, Larry walked out of the area.
«Yup, done with tutoring. Now I'll go to the dojo and see if there has been any increase in my strength.»
.....
The 'Dojo of Limitless', the largest dojo on earth created by the strongest Runic Champion 'Han Xiao'.
There are dojos scattered all around the world.
[Di]
Larry entered the dojo after scanning his student identification card at the door.
One 'Dojo of Limitless' is like an entrenched gigantic monster: the area it covers is even larger than a high school. The main gate of the dojo is big enough to let ten cars in. Inside the dojo, there were three large silver-white structures with an airship-like style.
"Brother Larry!"
"Greetings Brothers"
On the lawn of the interior of the Dojo where large amounts of dojo members. These members saw Larry's 'Martial Warrior' identification on his chest and respected him.
Inside the dojo, the three structures were separated by level: one for the beginner members, one for the intermediate members, and one for the elite members.
The elite member building's first and second floors are large teaching halls, large enough to hold a few thousand people. The teachers of the dojo taught in this hall. There were around 30-40 thousand members of this particular dojo.
You can only become a member of the dojo starting from the age of 16. After the age of 30, you are prohibited from coming back to the dojo, since you will be wasting valuable teaching resources.
There were a couple hundred 'Martial Warrior' students, most being around 20 years old.
However, Larry was only 18.
"Greetings Brother"
Larry walked along as he heard people greet him. He entered the third floor of the elite building, which only elite members could enter.
The third floor was a couple of hundred meters long and wide; a large training center. At this time, there were a couple of dozen people.
"That's Lucky" (Larry's nickname in the dojo community)
"Hey, come Lucky."
As he entered the large training center, all of the 'Martial Warrior' members warmly greeted him.
"Brother Wang, Brother Ahmad, Megumi chan and Brother Somsak" Larry happily shouted back. As he looked at these people, his heart warmed. These few dozen people were all over 20 years of age. Of course, the martial warriors of the 'Dojo of Limitless' of P-Base weren't just these people. In total, there were over a hundred of them, all those members are his friends, but most of them were too lazy to come since there isn't a teacher to teach.
The only people who would come to the training center are those who are poor and without anywhere else to train. The rich people all have their own individual training center.
So──
Almost all of these people live in cheap rental homes. Since they are all categorized as poor people, they naturally formed a clique. Larry's nickname of 'Lucky' came from living in a Villa, a lot of his friends live in a small apartment in Sector 3.
"I wonder how much my strength improved from the last half month of training."
Larry walked towards the 'Strength Tester Machine' at the corner of the training hall, where there were two of them side by side. Whether you were a beginner, intermediate, or an elite member, you had to test the strength of your punch. Even the test to become a 'Martial Warrior' has strength tests.
Larry took in a deep breath and completely relaxed his body. Suddenly, his gaze concentrated. His body tensed, like a lazy lion getting ready for action. His spine tensed like a bowstring. His feet supported his waist, which strengthened Larry's right fist. His punch was like a cannonball, shooting across an arc──
[BLAGAGG!]
Larry's fist smashed against the machine.
The machine shook violently.
Soon enough, a number appeared on the machine's screen──
