Chapter 183: The Eighteen-Year-Old Transformation Energy

The earlier one breaks through to the Vein Refining Realm, the greater the benefits gained from strengthening the body.

Lu Yu checked carefully once more, and only after confirming there were no omissions did he withdraw his gaze.

He looked at his own arms, thinking to himself that a bow with a draw weight of five thousand catties was likely no longer enough to satisfy his ever-growing strength requirements.

However, it should still be more than enough for killing Advanced Fierce Beasts.

It wouldn't be too late to change to a bow with a stronger draw weight once he had saved up enough money.

"I might as well continue looking for Wang Shu to spar on Basic Martial Arts." Just as Lu Yu stood up, a crisp mobile phone ringtone suddenly sounded.

He thought he was hallucinating for a moment, and it took a long time for him to react.

"It's the Branch President."

Seeing the name displayed on the phone screen, an excited expression instantly appeared on Lu Yu's face.

Could it be... He hurriedly answered the call, "Hello, Branch President?"

"It's me, little brother Lu." Song Tian's hearty laughter came through the phone, "It seems you have already guessed the purpose of my call."

Lu Yu smiled slightly and asked full of anticipation: "Branch President, does that mean the headquarters has already sent someone to deliver the bow and arrows?"

"That's right."

Song Tian said with a smile: "The headquarters attached great importance to your information after receiving it, and immediately sent someone from the nearby Qingcheng to deliver what you wanted, and also..." His voice suddenly stopped.

Lu Yu waited for a long time and couldn't help but ask: "And what?"

"And, there is quite a surprise, I won't say it over the phone, you'll know when you come over. In short, the headquarters values you very much." Song Tian deliberately kept him in suspense.

"Alright then." Lu Yu was somewhat dumbfounded.

However, the speed of the headquarters did indeed exceed his expectations.

He had originally thought that the items wouldn't arrive until this afternoon or tomorrow.

"Branch President, I'll head over now."

"Good, be safe on the way." Song Tian gave a word of advice, then hung up the phone.

"Branch President," a voice came from behind, "is the person you were talking to on the phone the new In-Jin Martial Artist who joined our Branch?"

The speaker was a burly man, standing over one meter eighty, with his jacket open, revealing two solid pectoral muscles; on his left pectoral muscle, there was a ten-centimeter-long scar that looked particularly shocking.

Not just him, there were five other people around, some standing, some sitting on the sofa.

Among them was a woman, just over one meter sixty tall, with wheat-colored skin and bulging muscles on her arms, her whole body radiating a sense of explosive power, like a leopard ready to pounce.

Hearing the burly man's words, the other five turned their gazes over, their expressions varied.

"That's right." Song Tian turned around and said with a beaming smile: "I was just about to introduce you all; he joined just yesterday. You weren't there at the time, otherwise you would have already met."

"What's his strength? If he's just a Ming-Jin, then forget it." A man leaning against the wall with his arms crossed said expressionlessly.

"Peng Hao, what kind of talk is that?" The woman on the sofa immediately looked dissatisfied, "Who didn't start from being a Ming-Jin Martial Artist? Besides, you only stepped into the Dark Energy Realm a year ago, right?"

Peng Hao frowned and was about to retort when a kind-looking middle-aged man hurriedly stepped in to smooth things over, "Alright, everyone say less.

Peng Hao, Jiang Yao is right, everyone starts from Ming-Jin, even Transformation Energy Martial Artists are no exception."

He looked at Jiang Yao again, "Jiang Yao, don't you know what kind of temper Peng Hao has? He's just worried that this newcomer will hold us back when we go out hunting."

"Hmph." Peng Hao snorted coldly.

"Ahem," Song Tian coughed lightly, looked at Peng Hao, and said: "Regarding the Realm, you don't need to worry; this newly joined martial artist is at the Dark Energy Realm."

Hearing this, everyone in the room, including Jiang Yao, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The depths of the Wasteland are full of dangers, and having more strength means more security.

If the strength were too weak, it would indeed be a burden for them to bring along, and one careless mistake could even get themselves killed.

"By the way, he is only eighteen years old this year." As soon as Song Tian finished speaking, the whole room instantly fell into a dead silence.

"Branch President, what did you just say?" The burly man who asked first stared at Song Tian in shock, "A Dark Energy Martial Artist, only eighteen years old?"

It wasn't just him; Peng Hao, Jiang Yao, and the others also had expressions of disbelief on their faces.

Most of the people present were over thirty, and some were even over forty.

It was just that their physical fitness was far beyond that of ordinary people, so they looked young.

Song Tian swept his gaze over the crowd, smiled slightly, and said: "You heard me right, he is indeed a Dark Energy Martial Artist, only eighteen years old."

"Hiss..."

Instantly, a sound of gasping echoed in the hall.

Everyone looked at each other; they knew the Branch President's character too well to believe he would spout nonsense or say things that were groundless.

But this news was truly too shocking to believe.

Let alone an eighteen-year-old Dark Energy Martial Artist, even reaching Dark Energy at twenty-eight would be considered ridiculously talented in their eyes.

"I know you are all whispering in your hearts, but I have personally tested this child's strength; it is absolutely true that he is a Dark Energy Martial Artist."

Song Tian's smile grew wider, "Come to think of it, I was also truly shocked at the time; he is just too young.

If you still don't believe it, you might as well ask the two of them." As he spoke, he pointed to the two young women behind the counter.

Everyone looked in the direction he pointed.

"Mm-hmm."

One of the girls with short hair held her cheeks with both hands, her eyes sparkling with little stars, "The Branch President is right, that person is really young, and super handsome, and especially polite, and his voice is nice, and he looks extremely good when he smiles."

"..." Kang Yuan and the others were speechless, and couldn't help but cast their gaze toward the other long-haired woman.

The long-haired woman's cheeks flushed slightly, and she said: "That person is indeed very young, two or three years younger than us."

"..."

Now, everyone was completely speechless. The Branch President had personally tested his strength, and Xiao Li and the others had seen him with their own eyes; there was no reason for these three to lie to them.

Could there really be an eighteen-year-old Dark Energy Martial Artist? How could the Branch recruit such a genius?

"By the way," the long-haired woman seemed to suddenly remember something and said hurriedly, "that person seems to be an archer."

"A Martial Artist who uses a bow?"

"A bow?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd acted as if they had discovered something novel.

Martial Artists who use blades or swords can be seen everywhere, but those who use bows and arrows are truly too rare.

"Chairman?" Kang Yuan asked with a face full of curiosity, "Is this new recruit really someone who uses a bow?"

"Yes," Song Tian nodded in confirmation, "He truly uses a bow, and for this new recruit reward, he also chose a bow and arrow."

"This..." The crowd looked at each other, all thinking in their hearts, is this new recruit a bit stupid?
