11. Hiding your strength? What era are we living in!
Jiangnan City Extreme Martial Arts School Headquarters!
Looking around, the entire martial arts school resembles a giant monster coiled up there, its area larger than that of a university.
The main entrance of the martial arts school is wide enough for ten cars to enter side by side.
Inside the martial arts school courtyard are three enormous, silver-white buildings, shaped like three spaceships.
These three buildings are the teaching building for beginners, intermediate students, and advanced students, respectively.
The first and second floors of the advanced student teaching building are large teaching halls, each capable of accommodating thousands of people.
The martial arts school's instructors all teach in this large teaching hall. The entire Extreme Martial Arts School has approximately 30,000 to 40,000 students.
This is just the Jiangnan base city; if you include the other eight garrison cities, the population is at least 300,000.
With such a large number of troops, it would have been impossible to advance without the backing of Hong, the world's strongest individual.
It's worth mentioning that both the Extreme Martial Arts School and the Thunder Martial Arts School do indeed offer compulsory education.
Otherwise, given Lord Luo's family background in the original story, even if Lord Luo was very talented, he would not have been able to support him becoming a senior student at the age of eighteen.
However, in order to prevent some people from occupying public resources, the two martial arts schools have very strict age restrictions.
Generally, students must be 16 years old to become students at a martial arts school. Those over 30 years old are prohibited from attending to avoid wasting teaching resources.
For example, Ron's son, Luo Hongguo, was currently practicing in the advanced academy's teaching building.
After all, he is a being who will become an immortal god in the future. Compared to Xu Xin, who possessed the body of an immortal, and Luo Hua, who has been hovering around the level of a world lord, Luo Hongguo's talent is not bad.
However, given his current punching power of 800 kilograms, he would need at least another year or two of training to become a quasi-martial artist.
However, the Luo family bloodline does possess a natural talent for speed and reaction time, with each member being above average.
Generally speaking, as long as the strength meets the standard, it's fine!
Closer to home.
Ron, who had already become a martial artist, did not enter the training hall this time, but instead went into a building next door.
Jiangnan Base City Extreme Martial Arts Hall Headquarters!
The bottom seven floors are used by martial artists for leisure and socializing, while the floors above the seventh floor are used as offices for the Extreme Martial Arts Academy.
Even with the assistance of artificial intelligence, managing a martial arts school with hundreds of thousands of members still requires an extremely large logistics department.
When Ron arrived, Lu Gang, Wu Tong, and Jiang Nian were already drinking in their usual spot.
Martial arts is a high-risk profession, so people are quite dependent on mental anesthetics.
The situation is slightly better in Daxia; people don't talk about PTSD, they just talk about smoking and drinking.
But if it were located in another base city abroad, I don't know what kind of things would be needed.
With a "smack," Jiang Nian, who had lost the arm-wrestling match to Wu Tong once again, was no longer interested in challenging Wu Tong.
"Old ginger is spicier, I'll just lose another bottle of wine to you!"
"Hahaha, young man, you still need to train more. You think I'm joking about having the strength of a perfect warrior?"
Jiang Nian: "Tch, if you're really that awesome, why don't you try it out with Brother Lu?"
After making a few complaints, Jiang Nian's eyes lit up when he spotted Ron, and he quickly raised his hand to greet him.
"Uncle Luo, here, here, we're here!"
Nodding, Ron smiled at Jiang Nian. After sitting down in the booth, he looked at the Moutai in front of Wu Tong and said irritably.
"Knowing Jiang Nian isn't easily provoked, you're just targeting him alone, aren't you? You can't fleece people like this!"
"Hehe, Uncle Luo, I..."
Facing the senior who had guided him onto the path of martial arts, and facing Ron, Wu Tong scratched his head sheepishly.
"Alright, there's no father-son relationship at the gambling table. Winning is your own skill. I just wonder if you dare to play a round with me?"
Out of respect for Ron, Wu Tong originally did not want to.
To not go all out would be to look down on Ron.
But if he went all out and Ron lost, that would be a scenario that Wu Tong was even less willing to see.
In terms of talent, Wu Tong is indeed superior to Ron.
As the saying goes, youth has the upper hand in boxing. Now, Wu Tong, relying on his youth and strength, is confident that he can suppress his mentor.
Even if you are confident, you still need to show the respect that is due.
However, just as Wu Tong was trying to find an excuse to let the matter drop, he looked into Ron's unusually serious eyes.
Aside from shaking his head in slight helplessness, Wu Tong could only rest his arms on the table.
"Uncle Luo, competition is competition, but frankly, it's just a game. You really need to take good care of yourself."
"You're putting on airs, kid. If you win, that bottle of fine wine I treasured before my Great Nirvana is yours!"
!!!
Wu Tong's eyes lit up, and the mention of fine wine immediately whetted his appetite.
Is this really true?
"A gentleman's word is as good as his bond..."
Before Ron could finish speaking, an overwhelming force pressed down on his palm.
This kid, a supposed martial arts mentor, needs to respect his seniors...
Faced with fine wine, all he cared about was winning and losing; those who want to win never smile!
"Good lad," Ron thought, feeling the power emanating from his palm and glancing at Wu Tong, whose veins were bulging. He was also taken aback by the power Wu Tong was unleashing.
The Yangtze River's waves push the previous waves forward, and the previous waves die on the beach!
In the past, facing Wu Tong, who had already reached the peak of the Warrior level, this old man would really be no match for him.
However, things are different once you start using cheats!
With his mental power covering the clothes, Wu Tong looked on in surprise, and the arms that were once evenly matched suddenly became a towering peak that he could never climb over!
The massive peak pressed down, and there wasn't even a decent resistance.
With a "smack," a familiar sound rang out. Looking at the arm pinned to the table, Jiang Nian clenched his fist excitedly and exclaimed, "Yes!"
Even Lu Gang, who was originally watching the game, became somewhat excited at this moment.
"Old Luo, you... you've broken through?"
"What?! Uncle Luo has broken through!"
Ron was already a high-level warrior. If he were to break through to the next level, wouldn't he become a low-level warrior general?
If that's the case, the Thunder Blade Squad now has three warriors at the general level. In this day and age, aside from someone like Vinina who has no shortage of money, there are no other warriors like that.
For an ordinary martial arts team, the Thunder Blade Team's configuration is nothing short of luxurious!
With such strength, they will have the confidence to survive in the chaos of the future!
"What a stroke of luck!"
I tried to imitate Yanzi from next door, but unfortunately I didn't have any grass in my mouth, otherwise it would have been even more fitting.
However, just as the three were happy for Ron, his subsequent explanation made them extremely tense!
"To be precise, it's not a breakthrough, but rather the awakening of spiritual power!"
