Chapter 14 - 14

Despite polishing their skills at the planetary level for decades, their maximum power only reached seven times.

Through this comparison, it's clear that a deficient method of exerting force slows down their training progress.

If one practices a perfect method of exerting force, their training speed will undoubtedly improve.

Unfortunately, even though Wei Wen recognized his power limitations, he had no good solution. He could only hope that the system would prove more powerful this time.

"Luo Feng's status as a warrior should come down tonight, so I'll wait first." Wei Wen thought secretly.

After Luo Feng obtained the Five Hearts to Heaven Method last time, Wei Wen received the optimized version by binding to Luo Feng's feedback.

If Luo Feng were to buy the Nine Layers Thunder Sword this time, he might acquire the optimized version, which could be a perfect method of exerting power.

He knew he needed Luo Feng to work for him this time. Of course, as the boss, Wei Wen wouldn't let Luo Feng work for free. Under appropriate circumstances, he would also help Luo Feng. After all, assisting Luo Feng ultimately helped himself.

Regarding weapons, Wei Wen currently couldn't enjoy the half-price discount, so he didn't buy them directly. He planned to either let Luo Feng try or allow others to purchase them on his behalf.

Jiangnan Base City Headquarters, Extreme Martial Arts Gym – President's Office

President Zhou Zhengyang sat behind a large desk in a white training uniform, with the three top managers of the general hall standing in front of him.

The gathering of the four giants from the Jiangnan Base City Headquarters of the Extreme Martial Arts Center was no small matter!

"This is all the information we have about Wei Wen and Luo Feng so far. Take a look and share your thoughts." Zhou Zhengyang handed over three thick files.

The three supervisors quickly skimmed through the documents. Among them, Luo Feng's information was scrutinized by Zhuge Tao.

Wei Wen and Luo Feng would undoubtedly be surprised if they saw this information, as it detailed almost every experience they had since childhood. This demonstrated the immense resources of the Extreme Martial Arts Hall.

With today's technology, it was almost effortless to investigate an ordinary person. Within three days, the Extreme Martial Arts Hall had thoroughly investigated both individuals.

As they learned about Wei Wen and Luo Feng, their images in the minds of the four soon became clearer.

"Why does it feel like something is wrong with Wei Wen?" Zhuge Tao frowned secretly.

While Luo Feng's achievements could be attributed to his long-term unremitting efforts along with some talent and understanding, Wei Wen's past performance had always been mediocre in terms of talent and comprehension. He even became known as a mediocre individual later on.

Yet, he had managed to realize the subtleties of movement techniques. They felt something was off but couldn't pinpoint an answer. It could only be concluded that Wei Wen's understanding was incredible or that he had been hiding his brilliance all these years.

Regardless, Wei Wen's superb physical skills and genetic talent were undeniable!

"What do you think about recommending the two of them for the headquarters training camp?" Zhou Zhengyang leaned back in his chair, studying the three supervisors.

After a brief exchange of glances among the three, they already had an answer in their minds.

"Wei Wen and Luo Feng are young and possess both understanding and talent. They are definitely rare geniuses in our Jiangnan Base City."

"President, I also agree with your opinion!" they replied one after another.

After hearing their responses, Zhou Zhengyang nodded in satisfaction.

"What do you think about recommending Wei Wen for the elite training camp?" Zhou Zhengyang suddenly proposed.

The three supervisors were stunned upon hearing this. They all knew that the only ten spots for this year's elite training camp had already been filled.

Moreover, it was understood that Wei Wen and Luo Feng were both unlikely to be selected.

"We can only recommend Wei Wen and Luo Feng to the superiors for entry into the headquarters training camp," the three supervisors expressed their agreement.

"It stands to reason that even if there are quotas available through negotiations, they will not be reserved for China."

Taking a step back, even if they were fortunate enough to secure a spot, they still needed to pass the assessment.

After a brief moment of silence, the three exchanged glances and quickly reached a consensus.

"I agree."

"I agree."

"I agree."

They spoke simply, with little elaboration. Though they were not overly optimistic about Wei Wen passing the B-level assessment in two months, they wanted to show Zhou Zhengyong some respect.

Zhou Zhengyong nodded with satisfaction. "What about recommending Wei Wen for the elite training camp?" he suddenly asked.

The three supervisors were taken aback. They all knew that the only ten places available worldwide for this year's elite training camp were already filled. Furthermore, they had reservations about Wei Wen and Luo Feng's capabilities, especially concerning the B-level assessment.

After a brief silence, they began to express their opinions again.

"Agree."

"Agree."

The three supervisors, despite their concerns about the difficulty of the B-level assessment, did not express much resistance this time. They figured that even if they submitted Wei Wen's application to join the elite training camp, the headquarters might not approve it.

Zhou Zhengyong also had similar thoughts but felt it was worth trying. "What if we succeed?" he mused.

"I'll get your opinions before making a decision," Zhou Zhengyong concluded, standing up from his chair.

In the spacious president's office, he initiated a holographic video call. The other person appeared as a middle-aged man with a Chinese character face, wearing a gray robe.

"Lao Zhou, what prompted you to call me today?" the middle-aged man asked with a smile.

"Lao Yang, I'm reaching out about serious business. We've discovered two geniuses in Jiangnan Base City and would like to invite them to join the Extreme Martial Arts Gym early," Zhou Zhengyong replied earnestly.

"We hope to get them into the headquarters training camp."

"You are the teacher of the training camp. I'll send you their information along with some surveillance footage so you can provide me with your insights."

"A genius that you all take seriously?" Yang Hui, seeing Zhou Zhengyong's serious demeanor, also became grave as he reviewed the email he had just received.

"Based on our relationship, I'll be straight with you. It is absolutely impossible for them to join the basic training camp at headquarters," Yang Hui stated, looking embarrassed.

"While it's typically required to pass the A-level assessment for the elite training camp, if you want extra quotas, they must show extraordinary talent. Otherwise, why would they receive those extra slots? To put it simply, the difficulty of the assessment increases, leading to a B-level assessment."

"The B-level assessment primarily evaluates understanding, strength, body skills, combat experience, and more. Based on what I know, Wei Wen may not yet have made contact with the higher echelons of training. How far do you think he can progress in two months?"

"The movement technique must reach at least a substantial level, but he has just entered the micro level, which isn't promising. Combat experience is even more crucial since he has never fought a monster."

All three elements are indispensable. How can he pass the B-level assessment?

"No hope at all?" Zhou Zhengyong asked, his tone filled with regret.

"Not quite hopeless," Yang Hui replied, falling silent for a moment as he pondered. He had just reviewed Wei Wen's information and considered his journey.

"If he realized the subtleties of body skills and sought to improve, it suggests his understanding is far greater than we initially imagined. If this speculation holds true, he might grow rapidly enough to pass the B-level assessment within two months."

"You arranged for him to become a warrior in advance and allowed him to purchase the secret books for power generation?"

"If you insist on recommending Wei Wen, I suggest you reassess his strength and body skills in a month. If he shows significant progress, it will bolster your confidence in the application."

"Regardless, judging by Wei Wen's current performance, he has a chance to join the elite training camp."

"A month?" Zhou Zhengyong nodded. "Thank you for your suggestion, Lao Yang. I'll wait until August to assess Wei Wen's strength. If he can truly improve within that time, we'll try to recommend him for the elite training camp."
