Chapter 3: The Global Headquarters' Attention
Ten minutes later, a gray, flying saucer-shaped fighter hovered above the Changshan Limit Dojo before slowly descending onto the roof of the building. On the rooftop, Wang Yudong, along with Shen Mu and Chen Wen, had been waiting for some time.
The hatch of the flying saucer-shaped fighter opened, and the first to step out was a handsome young man in his twenties, exuding an incredibly sharp aura. Following closely behind the young man was a middle-aged man in Tang suit, also emanating a powerful presence. These two were the highest-ranking officials of the Kyoto Base City Limit Dojo: Supervisor Liu Minghao and President Li Zhengchu.
"Greetings, Supervisor Liu, President Li." Under Wang Yudong's lead, Shen Mu and Chen Wen both respectfully bowed slightly to the two men.
Liu Minghao casually waved his hand, his gaze fixed on Shen Mu.
"You must be Shen Mu, nice to meet you. I'm Liu Minghao." Liu Minghao looked at Shen Mu as if he were examining some rare creature, while Wang Yudong and Chen Wen were completely ignored.
Shen Mu replied, "Supervisor Liu, it's nice to meet you."
"Don't call me Supervisor, that's too formal. Just call me Brother Minghao. Come on, let's see how strong your spirit force is."
Liu Minghao was very enthusiastic towards Shen Mu. For spirit masters, the number of daggers they could control at maximum power represented their potential, equivalent to a fighter's force multiplier. Since the Great Nirvana era, no spirit master had been able to control more than nine daggers at maximum power before reaching the Planetary level.
As Liu Minghao spoke, he directly put his arm around Shen Mu's shoulder and walked towards the interior of the Limit Dojo. Chen Wen watched her precious son walking shoulder to shoulder with Supervisor Liu, feeling a bit worried, and looked at Li Zhengchu.
"President, this..." Chen Wen hesitated.
President Li Zhengchu smiled and said, "Instructor Chen, don't worry. Supervisor Liu and Shen Mu are both young and have common topics to discuss. We'll just follow behind."
Soon, the three of them followed Liu Minghao and Shen Mu back into the training hall on the third floor of the Limit Dojo. At this moment, in the training hall, Shen Mu was freely releasing his spirit force. Ten red daggers, under his control, were like ten swift streams of light, slicing through the air and creating a series of piercing shrieks.
"Beep—50414kg!"
"Beep—50941kg!"
After controlling the ten dark red streams of light to attack dozens of times in succession, Shen Mu also felt a sense of fatigue at the spirit level, with a slight throbbing pain in the depths of his mind. In just a few dozen attacks, the consumption of spirit force was equivalent to hundreds of full-power bursts by an ordinary advanced warrior spirit master, naturally leading to fatigue.
"Alright, no need to continue."
Liu Minghao put away the device used to record and save the video, took a deep breath, and looked at Shen Mu again.
"Shen Mu, you've proven your talent. The surveillance video and the data from the strength testing instrument will be reported directly to the global headquarters. As for the final treatment..."
Liu Minghao shook his head slightly, "I'm not sure about that. With your talent, even my old man might not be able to decide."
"But I can assure you, as long as you are willing to stay in the Dojo, you will definitely receive the best treatment. Even the Grandmaster will want to meet you."
Shen Mu naturally knew how astonishing he was, but he still said, "Thank you, Supervisor Liu, for your recommendation."
"What recommendation? With your talent, this is the treatment you deserve. Come on, tell me how you awakened your spirit force."
Liu Minghao's attitude towards Shen Mu became even more enthusiastic. Such talent was no longer just a representation of potential.
For the current Shen Mu, he only needed resources to be piled up to the advanced Wargod level, without any need for training, and he would directly become an invincible Wargod, or even a half-step Planetary.
Spirit masters and fighters were different. Fighters not only needed to improve their force multiplier but also required high levels of weapon mastery and body movement to match spirit masters of the same level. Of course, for spirit masters to control more full-power daggers simultaneously, the difficulty of improvement was even greater than fighters improving their force multiplier.
Facing such a strong individual, not only did Liu Minghao have to be courteous, but even his father, a speaker level strongman and one of the five inspectors of the Limit Dojo, Liu He, would also treat him with respect.
***
Half an hour later, on the rooftop of the Limit Dojo, the gray flying saucer ascended and flew towards the headquarters of the base city. Aboard the fighter, Liu Minghao looked down at the Changshan Limit Dojo below and couldn't help but say, "Another spirit genius... and even more astonishing than that Inspector Luo."
Li Zhengchu heard Liu Minghao's words and recalled the rise of Inspector Luo Feng in Jiangnan Base City. He also nodded slightly. That Inspector Luo Feng became a fighter in August 2056 and entered the global elite training camp in early April last year. Just four months later, in August 57, he became an invincible Wargod.
Rising rapidly within a year and becoming the highest-ranking official of a Limit Dojo base city, he was indeed astonishing. But the Shen Mu he had just seen was even more shocking, able to control ten full-power daggers simultaneously. With resources like dragon blood and spirit of nature, he could directly elevate his level to become an invincible Wargod. Perhaps it wouldn't even take half a year.
At the same time, in a virtual space, within a dedicated dimension of the Palace of Wargods for the Limit Dojo. This was a large conference hall with silver floors, walls, and a huge round table. The ceiling of the conference hall was an endless starry sky, giving it a dreamlike feel. Around the round table were six pure black chairs, with the head seat empty and the other five occupied by five white-robed individuals. These five were the five inspectors of the Limit Dojo, all Planetary-level experts beyond the Wargod level, including Liu Minghao's father, Liu He.
"Everyone, this is Shen Mu's information."
Liu He, as the head of the Chinese region, said, "He became a fighter in August 2058, at the young age of 18, and purchased the manual 'Destroyer' created by the Grandmaster. After four months of learning the 'Destroyer' spear technique, he successfully mastered the first level of the technique, reaching a force multiplier of 1.2 times. Then yesterday, on January 15, he awakened his spirit force, causing him to faint..."
In front of the other four white-robed inspectors was the same set of information. Another inspector from China, Inspector Wang, looked at Liu He in shock and said, "If this wasn't tested by your son Liu Minghao personally, I would suspect that the Kyoto Base City was bold enough to fabricate it."
Inspector Liu He raised his hand slightly, and a holographic video projection appeared on the round table in front of them, showing Liu Minghao personally testing Shen Mu's maximum spirit force strength.
"To be honest, I didn't believe it at first. If my son hadn't sparred with Shen Mu personally, I wouldn't have believed it. Even with video evidence, it's just... too astonishing."
"Another Luo Feng?" a white inspector couldn't help but ask.
Mentioning Luo Feng, they also remembered the genius young man who had entered the No. 9 ancient civilization ruins three months ago. Generally speaking, if someone didn't come out of the No. 9 ancient civilization ruins within three months, they were basically presumed dead.
Suddenly, a stream of virtual light gathered on the head seat of the round table, forming the figure of a black-clad young man.
"Grandmaster." The five inspectors were startled and quickly stood up, bowing to the black-clad young man. The person who arrived was none other than the world's number one strongman, the first Speaker of the Palace of Wargods, Hong.
Hong looked at Liu He and said, "I want to meet this young man tomorrow morning at nine o'clock. Liu He, you go personally."
"Yes, Grandmaster." Liu He quickly responded.
