Chapter 249: One Hundred Million Hanxia Dollars

"Instructor Wu is exaggerating, exaggerating; I can't afford such praise."

Zhang Jie, who had always been low-key, habitually remained humble.

"I, Wu Tong, am a rough man and never say polite words."

Wu Tong's expression was solemn; clearly, Zhang Jie was the most talented martial artist he had ever seen.

In the subsequent speed test and neural reaction speed test, Zhang Jie reached the level of a senior fighter.

Jiang Nian sighed repeatedly at this; if things continued to develop like this,

Zhang Jie would probably surpass him, this intermediate War General, before long.

Although the strength and status of an intermediate War General were quite good,

people are compared to people, and goods are compared to goods; the gap was simply too large.

This kind of pure talent gap made him unable to even feel jealous.

The only thing he was glad about was that he was the first to discover a genius like Zhang Jie.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Wu Tong directly represented the Extreme Martial Arts School and offered the price to recruit Zhang Jie:

"A-Jie, we hope you will join our Extreme Martial Arts School after passing the martial artist combat assessment.

For ordinary martial artists, the conditions we generally give are:

First, the right to live in a villa in a martial artist residential area belonging to our Extreme Martial Arts School, like the Mingyue residential area;

Second, funding support ranging from 1 million to 20 million."

"And for a genius like you, the villa residency right remains unchanged,

and in terms of funding, I am willing to give the maximum amount I can give—one hundred million Hanxia dollars!

I will also strive for the maximum benefits I can get for other cultivation manuals, weapons, and combat uniforms."

Neither he nor Jiang Nian mentioned the possibility of Zhang Jie failing the combat assessment.

Since the martial artist combat assessment is called an assessment, there are naturally assessment standards,

and there are those who succeed in becoming official martial artists, and those who fail and continue to be prospective martial artists.

But even though every martial artist combat assessment has some prospective martial artists who, due to insufficient strength

or bad luck, cannot pass the assessment to become official martial artists,

being forced to be prospective martial artists for another half year, and there are even unlucky ones who fail multiple times,

being prospective martial artists for over five years, until finally the military responsible for the assessment couldn't bear it,

and gave him a green light to pass the assessment,

but Zhang Jie had the strength of a senior fighter, far exceeding an official martial artist's junior fighter level,

and was also a mental power master with outstanding combat power, capable of fighting one level above, with an actual combat power reaching that of a junior War General.

If even he couldn't pass, then I'm afraid no one could pass the martial artist assessment.

"One hundred million Hanxia dollars?"

Hearing this number, Zhang Jie's breathing couldn't help but become heavy.

This was a full one hundred million Hanxia dollars!

Taking Luo Feng's father, Luo Hongguo, as an example, as the most ordinary labor worker,

he could earn about 3000 Hanxia dollars a month, and less than forty thousand Hanxia dollars a year.

One hundred million Hanxia dollars was enough for him to work for over two thousand years without eating or drinking!

Wu Tong's offer was simply too large, almost knocking out the ordinary little citizen he had been for two lifetimes.

For two lifetimes, except for hearing boasts on the internet like "Set a small goal,

earn one hundred million first," he had never dealt with the word "hundred million" at other times.

However, thinking of the Water of Life circulating among War God-level powerhouses,

where one portion is worth 30 billion, and Dragon Blood that increases strength is also priced at over 10 billion, Zhang Jie felt relieved.

In a world with extraordinary power representing absolute martial force,

martial artists who master absolute martial force must also occupy an absolutely dominant position in wealth.

The wealth of martial artists and their spending are far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

There were also other supports for manuals, weapons, and equipment that made Zhang Jie dizzy.

Still the same saying, in a world with extraordinary power,

manuals and weapons that allow people to master power are even more priceless.

Compared to the manuals he could obtain, a mere one hundred million was not worth mentioning.

Seeing Zhang Jie moved, the smile on Wu Tong's face flashed and disappeared, then he continued:

"Not only that, by joining our Extreme Martial Arts School, you can also enjoy the best cultivation conditions,

such as the guiding technique created by our General Pavilion Master, the Earth's number one powerhouse, Hong."

Zhang Jie watched the reverence shown by Wu Tong and Jiang Nian when mentioning Hong.

Clearly, in their eyes, Hong was not only the superior of their superior,

but also the idol they worshipped, the kind that was about to become a faith.

However, judging from Hong's actions over the years since the Great Nirvana, he clearly deserved this worship.

If it weren't for him and super powerhouses like Thunder God acting as a deterrent,

intimidating the beast kings in the ocean and making them afraid to easily come ashore,

I'm afraid humanity would have long been exterminated by the sea beasts that far exceeded the human population by a hundred times.

Hong had made great contributions to the survival of humanity.

After Wu Tong finished speaking, Jiang Nian took over the conversation, looked at Zhang Jie, and asked:

"A-Jie, did you find it difficult to cultivate after cultivating Gene Energy for a period of time?"

Zhang Jie nodded: "Indeed, at that time, it felt like being stuffed from eating;

even if I tried to suppress it or wanted to eat a little more, my stomach really couldn't hold any more food."

Jiang Nian explained with a smile: "Cultivating Gene Energy has the same effect as eating.

The human body's appetite has a limit; after being full, it needs time to digest,

and the human body's absorption of Gene Energy also has a limit, which also needs time to digest.

But a guiding technique can allow people to absorb more cosmic energy and gain greater growth.

A martial artist cultivating the *Five Hearts Toward Heaven Method* can generally only cultivate for about five minutes a day,

while a guiding technique can extend this time to fifteen minutes or half an hour.

The top-level guiding technique created by Hong in our Extreme Martial Arts School can even extend this time to one hour,

greatly increasing the efficiency of absorbing Gene Energy and accelerating a martial artist's strengthening!"

As he spoke, his face was full of pride, clearly very proud of the top-level guiding technique created by Hong.

While listening, Zhang Jie was also moved:

The level difference of guiding techniques is significant, and the efficiency can differ by dozens of times,

and a top-level guiding technique undoubtedly can greatly improve cultivation speed compared to an ordinary guiding technique.

A martial artist cultivating the *Five Hearts Toward Heaven Method* versus a martial artist cultivating a top-level guiding technique,

unless the latter's talent is truly unbearable,

belonging to the kind of rotten mud that is difficult to support on a wall, the latter is clearly stronger than the former.

Although because he had soared in both strength and talent after visiting the shared space,

his time for absorbing Gene Energy reached fifteen minutes, far exceeding the five minutes of ordinary martial artists,

but this was clearly still not comparable to the one hour of a top-level guiding technique.

After finishing, Jiang Nian said with some regret:

"However, because a guiding technique must only be granted after passing the martial artist combat assessment and becoming an official martial artist,

so even if your current strength far exceeds that of an ordinary official martial artist,

according to the rules, we cannot grant it to you."

Wu Tong, sitting opposite Jiang Nian, nodded solemnly, expressing agreement with Jiang Nian's statement.

Zhang Jie waved his hand indifferently:

"Anyway, the martial artist assessment on August 1st is not far away, so waiting a few more days is nothing."

He didn't think Jiang Nian and Wu Tong were rigid and didn't know how to be flexible.

A world where most people follow the rules, even if they are rigid and don't know how to be flexible,

is clearly more orderly and suitable for living than a world where most people don't follow the rules and desperately drill loopholes in the rules.

After all, if rules can be broken today for a potential genius,

then tomorrow they can naturally be broken a second or third time for the son of a wealthy tycoon

or the relative of a powerhouse with a strong background.

After finalizing the matters of joining the Extreme Martial Arts School after passing the martial artist combat assessment,

Zhang Jie said goodbye, left this branch pavilion, and went to prepare for other things. ===== CHAPTER 250 =====
