"Right, there's been a change in the Australian continent. The survival trials for the training camp have been moved to the Sahara. As for you…"
Yang Hui glanced at the woman in the black uniform behind him and said, "You need to see the Head of the Academy first."
"Academy student Jiang Li, I am Ming Yue. The Head of the Academy wishes to see you. Please, come with me."
The woman in the black uniform, with short, choppy hair, said with a smile.
"Alright."
Jiang Li nodded and followed Ming Yue along the familiar path to the main entrance of the Elite Training Camp, where a black, luxurious limousine was parked.
Ming Yue opened the car door and gestured with a slight bow, saying, "Academy student Jiang Li, please get in."
Twenty minutes later.
Jiang Li appeared at the Limit Martial Arts Academy headquarters again.
In fact, the Limit Martial Arts Academy headquarters was built from a giant spaceship. When Jiang Li stood at the entrance, a blue light shone down from the ship, enveloping him.
'Beep!'
"Academy student Jiang Li, please enter!"
An electronic voice sounded.
Ming Yue, standing beside Jiang Li, explained with a smile, "Academy student Jiang Li, only a very few high-level officials have permission to enter the headquarters. Anyone without permission who attempts to enter will be killed by the defense system..."
"Academy student Jiang Li, someone will be there to receive you inside!"
Jiang Li nodded and walked into the tens-of-meters-wide passageway, which was silver-white.
He glanced around and saw that almost everyone inside the base was wearing blue robes, with a very small number wearing red robes.
"Student Jiang Li, please follow me to the lounge to wait."
A woman in a blue robe smiled and greeted Jiang Li.
At this moment, two people were already waiting in the lounge, namely Liu He and Iceberg, who had returned to Hongning Base City with Jiang Li.
Seeing the blue-robed woman lead Jiang Li into the lounge.
Both of them raised their eyes almost simultaneously. Liu He's original smile instantly froze, and then his eyes widened.
"Jiang Li, have you broken through again?"
Liu He was somewhat disbelieving: "This feeling..."
"Impossible!"
"Absolutely impossible!"
"You were only a War God just a few days ago..."
His voice trailed off. Iceberg, usually taciturn, had his pupils contract sharply, and uttered five words: "Beyond the War God level!"
Those five words caused even the strong Liu He to be completely dumbfounded.
It was simply too unbelievable.
After all…
How long has it been since we last met?
"Aren't you too heavily injured?"
Liu He's face showed not a hint of belief, and he couldn't help but roll his eyes at Iceberg, saying, "So you sensed it wrong?"
Iceberg glanced at Liu He, ice-cold, and didn't say another word.
"Just a fluke."
Jiang Li smiled, not hiding his strength.
In fact.
He didn't need to hide his strength. Now, with his power, looking at the entire world, the only ones who could pose a threat to him were Hong and Thunder God.
Even the third speaker, Mohanderson, known as the Ice Emperor, wasn't his match.
If they were to fight, with Jiang Li's powerful soul, it wouldn't be a simple victory, it would be a complete annihilation! Even Hong and Thunder God, if they used all their trump cards, Jiang Li wouldn't be afraid.
"Unbelievable!"
"Too incredible."
Liu He mumbled a few words, then said, "Looks like I'll have to call you Inspector Jiang from now on."
Jiang Li: "…"
And then.
"Iceberg, the director wants to see you."
A voice sounded, and a red-robed, dark-skinned man appeared at the door of the rest hall.
"Mm."
Iceberg stood up, still wearing his golden mask, and followed the red-robed man out of the rest hall.
"Jiang Li."
After Iceberg left, Liu He raised an eyebrow and suddenly asked, "You still don't know that existences beyond the War God level are also called Planetary level, right?"
"I know."
Jiang Li answered honestly, and the corners of Liu He's mouth twitched slightly.
Well, you killed the conversation.
Liu He simply stopped talking and went off to sulk by himself.
A moment later.
The red-robed black man from before returned, "Inspector Liu, the master wants to see you."
"Jiang Li, the master has a lot of good stuff. You should ask him before you exchange anything!"
Liu He thought for a moment, then still reminded Jiang Li.
Jiang Li nodded slightly and waited quietly.
Soon, the red-robed black man came to the door, "Student Jiang Li, the master wants to see you."
Jiang Li stood up and followed the red-robed black man along the corridor to the outside of a quiet room. The red-robed black man then bowed slightly and left.
"Jiang Li, come in!"
Hong's voice echoed from within.
"Master."
Jiang Li pushed open the door and entered. It was a reception room, completely empty, with no furnishings, only two cushions.
"Sit."
Hong sat cross-legged on a cushion, gesturing towards the other cushion in front of him. His expression shifted slightly. "You've broken through?"
"Yes."
Jiang Li nodded slightly and also sat cross-legged on the cushion. This time, when facing Hong, he no longer felt that oppressive aura.
"In less than half a year, to become a being beyond a War God..."
Hong looked at Jiang Li, a smile playing on his lips as he sighed, "I have to admit, I misjudged you this time. It seems the treasures I prepared for you are useless now."
"Oh?"
Jiang Li's eyes flickered. Anything that Hong considered a treasure was undoubtedly extraordinary.
However, given Hong's words, it was likely a treasure suitable for the God of War level.
Many rare treasures became less effective at the planetary level.
It was like the Herb Spirit. It could significantly boost a God of War's vitality, but its effect was minimal for those beyond that level.
Especially for someone like Jiang Li, the effect would be almost negligible.
"You've earned your merit this time in the Fog Island excavation. According to the academy's allocation, you'll receive a 10% share."
Hong waved his hand, and a three-dimensional virtual projection immediately appeared in the vast living room.
Phantoms of Herb Spirits floated in front of Jiang Li.
"According to the allocation, you will receive a total of 12 Herb Spirits."
"However, you are now a being beyond the War God. The Herb Spirits have almost no effect on you."
Hong waved his hand again and smiled, "Therefore, I'll give you a chance to exchange these Herb Spirits for the treasures you need."
With Hong's wave, the three-dimensional projection changed, displaying various categories such as "Secret Manuals," "Intelligent Fighter Jets," "Weapons," and "Battle Suits."
Under each category, there were numerous physical object projections, totaling sixty or seventy items.
Beep!
An electronic sound rang out, and the displayed 12 Herb Spirits were respectively '2 Stars,' '2.5 Stars,' and '3 Stars... with a total value of 38 Stars.
"This is the total value of your share."
"I just arbitrarily set 'Star' as a unit."
Hong smiled, "At our level, worldly money doesn't really mean much anymore."
Jiang Li nodded, agreeing.
After signing the Inspector contract, he hadn't touched the money in his warrior account.
Although he hadn't spent money on buying World Destruction and Ninefold Thunderblade, at the moment, there were almost no secret manuals or items sold by Limit Martial Arts Academy that interested him.
"Take a good look."
Hong was very patient, watching silently as Jiang Li browsed the exchange list.
After a moment.
"Director, I want to exchange for the 'Zhuxian Sword'."
Having looked through all the items, Jiang Li ultimately chose the 'Zhuxian Sword' from the first row of weapons.
"'Zhuxian Sword'?"
Hong's eyes revealed a hint of surprise: "Jiang Li, this 'Zhuxian Sword' costs a full 38 Stars. That's your entire fortune. Aren't you considering anything else?"
"No need to consider."
Jiang Li offered a faint smile.
On the exchange list, he saw the Duntian Shuttle. Yet, the 'Zhuxian Sword' was actually ranked above it, clearly indicating Hong valued this weapon greatly.
