Wei Wen hesitated slightly, glancing around. People like Zhou Zhengyang and Lu Gang naturally understood what Wei Wen meant. Based on Wei Wen's performance alone, he might surprise them; he might have mastered the first level of the Nine-Layer Thunder Sword!
"You guys get out first!" Zhou Zhengyang waved his hand at the surrounding staff of the Extreme Martial Arts Gym. Those who had brought Wei Wen and Luo Feng here, along with the gym staff, nodded and stepped outside, leaving only Wei Wen, Luo Feng, Zhou Zhengyang, and Lu Gang.
"The Nine-Layer Thunder Sword is said to be the most explosive and difficult to practice. I know your understanding is extraordinary, but the warning time is short—only a few days," Zhou Zhengyang said, his expression serious.
"If you can really grasp the first level, it would be unbelievable. It would also show that you are a rare genius on the entire Earth!"
"Wei Wen, give it a try. I hope you can truly surprise me."
"The general manager always likes geniuses, especially those with strong understanding. As long as you have enough potential, the manager will support you!"
Wei Wen smiled, understanding that displaying his extraordinary understanding could attract the attention of the Extreme Martial Arts School, which was a good opportunity for him.
Zhou Zhengyang took a breath, a look of shock on his face.
"What?!" Lu Gang also stared at Wei Wen, astonished, his heart racing.
For context, a general strong warrior can exert power between 1 and 2 times, while a skilled warrior can reach between 2 and 4 times.
It may take many warriors ten years to reach the first level of the Nine-Layer Thunder Sword. Lu Gang, a veteran God of War, was only at the third level of the Nine-Layer Thunder Sword. His journey to become a God of War showed that his talent surpassed that of most warriors.
But to see Wei Wen achieve the first level of the Nine-Layer Thunder Sword in just a few days was unprecedented. Lu Gang questioned if Wei Wen was joking. After all, Lei Shen, the founder of the Nine-Layer Thunder Sword, may not have been able to progress at such a rate.
Even Luo Feng was momentarily shocked by Wei Wen's speed, his heart stopping for an instant.
"He is indeed a genius who has mastered the Nine-Layer Thunder Sword," Luo Feng thought.
"You'll know just by looking at Wei Wen punch casually."
A force burst out almost instantly, and the moment the force was transferred through his arm, another force erupted from within Wei Wen's body. Two consecutive forces surged through his arm as Wei Wen's fist shot forward.
Lu Gang, also a practitioner of the Nine-Layer Thunder Sword, could tell from the instantaneous acceleration when Wei Wen swung his fist that he had indeed grasped the first level of the Nine-Layer Thunder Sword.
Although Zhou Zhengyang had said he didn't practice the Nine-Layer Thunder Sword, he could tell that Wei Wen's punch was different from that of an ordinary person.
"The first level of the Nine-Layer Thunder Sword?" Zhou Zhengyang could hardly believe it, turning to Lu Gang beside him, uncertainty in his voice.
"Although it's incredible, his way of exerting force is indeed indicative of the first level of the Nine-Layer Thunder Sword," Lu Gang laughed in disbelief.
"It has only been a few days since he reached this point. Maybe he'll grasp the fourth level this year! I haven't even been able to comprehend the fourth level of the Nine-Layer Thunder Sword," Lu Gang thought.
Training in the Nine-Layer Thunder Sword was an intricate method of exerting force. If it took most warriors years to master, Wei Wen's rapid progress was astonishing.
Feeling a mix of envy and admiration, Lu Gang noted the stark difference between his years of effort and Wei Wen's swift rise.
"This is the real genius," Zhou Zhengyang exclaimed excitedly.
"It's truly a treasure. With Wei Wen's training speed, passing the B-level assessment in two months is within reach. He should be able to join the elite training camp by then."
Despite his surprise, Zhou Zhengyang also recognized it as a good thing for him. He had originally planned to recommend Wei Wen to the elite training camp, but now he felt confident in his potential.
"As long as Wei Wen shows his understanding and potential, the benefits will flow back to me."
"Lu Feng, you also bought the Nine-Layer Thunder Sword. How is your training progressing?" Zhou Zhengyang asked, looking expectantly at Luo Feng.
"It's going okay. Although I haven't mastered the Nine-Layer Thunder Sword yet, I feel that it will only take a few more days of hard work," Luo Feng replied simply.
Lu Gang raised an eyebrow, skeptical about his own progress in the face of Wei Wen's achievements.
Wei Wen's rapid improvement had exceeded everyone's expectations. Zhou Zhengyang, originally believing that Wei Wen would only have a chance to enter the elite training camp by surviving, now saw potential for both of them.
"With their improvement speed, once they arrive at the elite training camp at headquarters and enjoy better training conditions, they will definitely become the youngest God of War in the future," he said.
Everyone chatted briefly as the equipment purchased by Lu Gang on behalf of Wei Wen and Luo Feng was delivered.
"Lao Lu, you have to rely on me," Zhou Zhengyang said with a smile. "If I hadn't been too busy as president, I would have taken care of them myself."
"Additionally, Wei Wen and Luo Feng, please report your progress in cultivating the Nine-Layer Thunder Sword to me by August 1st. I can then report it to the headquarters and apply for a spot in the elite training camp for you."
"Don't worry, President Zhou. This time, I'm only going to those wilderness towns with a low level of danger," Lu Gang explained simply.
"As long as they don't encounter lord-level monsters or any large-scale monster tides, there shouldn't be any safety issues."
Lu Gang felt confident, believing their future achievements would not fall short of the leadership at the museum.
"Being able to mentor such a peerless genius, I feel like I can boast about it for a lifetime..."
As a veteran God of War, Lu Gang was a well-known figure in the martial arts circle of Sangnan City. He was also a good person, and his strength was comparable to that of mid-level God of War, Zhou Zhengyang, which is why he had been chosen to lead the team.
"Let's go, Wei Wen, Luo Feng. From now on, just call me Captain," Lu Gang said, looking at them both.
"Yes, Captain," Wei Wen and Luo Feng replied quickly, grateful for his guidance.
"Let's head out," Lu Gang waved his hand as they gathered their equipment and walked out of the headquarters building, hurrying toward the wilderness area.
In reality, as God of War warriors, they could call upon fighter planes, but the wilderness area they were headed to was not far away.
