“Dad, Mom, I’m going to take the elite test tomorrow. After I’m done with the test, you’ll be able to move to the protected area. Get ready first.”
After telling his parents, Wang Xu left the house and rushed to the elite test venue.
The assessment was very simple. His strength, speed, and reflexes were tested. As long as he reached all the requirements and matched up against a virtual martial artist, surviving for 15 minutes, he would be able to obtain the elite title.
“Strength, 2056kg, excellent.”
“Speed, 30 m/s, excellent.”
“Reflexes, excellent.”
After the results of the three tests were out, Wang Xu entered the virtual cultivation field with three excellent scores.
“Please enlighten me.”
A burly man in a black martial arts robe appeared, cupped his fists at Wang Xu, then lowered his waist and punched Wang Xu’s face directly.
Wang Xu was neither anxious nor impatient. He dodged the attack and wrapped his arm around the man’s fist. He exerted force with his feet and tried to throw the man to the ground.
The burly man didn’t move at all and he punched again. Unlike the first punch, this punch was extremely fast. Wang Xu looked sullen as he placed his hands on his chest and blocked the attack…
The two of them attacked each other. Weapons weren’t allowed in the virtual cultivation field, so they could only fight with their physical bodies. Fortunately, Wang Xu’s “Basic Body” had reached level four. With the “Basic Body” of level four, Wang Xu had built a solid foundation and could fight on par with the burly man.
…
An anti-gravity flying ship about 20 meters long slowly landed. The cabin door opened and a man with muscles all over his body, which looked like a dragon was coiling around him, walked out.
“How many people are here for the test today?” The burly man came down and asked the person in charge of registering the students.
This person was a skinny middle-aged man. He shook his head bitterly and said, “There have been fewer and fewer people participating in the assessment recently. We’ve already accepted all the talented ones that we could find. A pretty good boy came to participate in the assessment today, though. He is currently having the combat assessment.”
The burly man sighed. “Although Gene Warriors are common, there are too few people with talent for cultivation. Those with talent for cultivation have all been taken in. The number of elites decreases year by year… Let’s go. Since we have nothing to do, let’s go and take a look at the kid participating in the assessment.”
…
“Are you talking about him?”
The burly man came to the spectator stand and looked down through the transparent glass. The battle between Wang Xu and the black-robed man was shown in the holographic projection. They were attacking one after another and fighting with each other in the arena.
“That’s right. Here are his results for the three tests.” The middle-aged man handed over a document that recorded Wang Xu’s results. They were all excellent.
“Mm, not bad. This boy’s hands are full of calluses. According to their positions, he should be good at sword arts. To be able to resist my phantom without using a weapon is pretty good.” The burly man said. The martial artist in a black robe that fought against Wang Xu was this person’s phantom.
“Also, he has already cultivated the ‘Basic Body’ to the fourth level,” said the middle-aged man.
The burly man’s eyes lit up as he looked at Wang Xu, who was fighting seriously with his phantom. His eyes couldn’t help but reveal some admiration.
In the few days that the “Basic Body” was widely spread, no one was able to rank this ancient martial art.
Some people said that it should be a low-level martial art because it was too difficult to get started and even harder to cultivate. There was absolutely no need to cultivate it.
Some people said that it should be a top-notch martial art. This was because once the “Basic Body” was cultivated to a high level, the effects would immediately be revealed.
As a result, it had yet to be defined until now.
For Wang Xu to be able to reach the fourth level of the “Basic Body” at such a young age, it showed his talent. This kind of talent didn’t lie in cultivation but in his comprehension of ancient martial arts!
Merely relying on cultivation resources was absolutely unable to cultivate an ancient martial art to perfection. Only by ceaselessly practicing, improving, and deliberating would one be able to comprehend the profundities within it.
In that case, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that Wang Xu was a genius in ancient martial arts.
This made the burly man nod.
“Time’s up!”
After the robotic voice made the announcement, the phantom of the man who was fighting with Wang Xu immediately changed his stance and cupped his fists at Wang Xu before disappearing.
“Congratulations, Wang Xu. You have passed the elite test. From now on, you are a member of the human elites. I hope you can fight for the dawn of humanity’s future!” Wang Xu received a golden medal. A relief sculpture of a meteorite falling from the sky was engraved on it. That was the moment that reversed the history of mankind. Humans would always remember this moment.
Wang Xu’s expression was slightly excited. He had been looking forward to this Elite Medal since he was young. Now that he really held it in his hand, he felt that all his past efforts and all the hardships he had suffered had been rewarded!
“Wang Xu, this is your key. It’s for Room 809 of Building 302 in the protected area. It’s a reward given to the human elites by the government. Take it.” Wang Xu took the key from the examiner. He really wanted to yell at the sky.
As a human elite, he also had other cultivation resources as rewards. As there were too many of them, Wang Xu didn’t take them one by one. He only put them all into his Space Ring.
“Kid, please wait.”
Suddenly, a deep voice sounded. Wang Xu looked back and his eyes immediately lit up.
Wasn’t the burly man in front of him the phantom he fought just now?
“Director.”
“Director.”
Come and read on our website wuxia worldsite. Thanks
When the examiners saw the burly man, they greeted him respectfully. Wang Xu then realized that this burly man was actually the manager of the Elite Assessment Center.
“Kid, I see that you are quite talented. Are you interested in joining the Freedom Alliance?”
The director didn’t beat around the bush and pointed out his purpose. “The Freedom Alliance can provide you with a huge amount of cultivation resources. The warriors of the Alliance are all over the world and are everywhere. If you need help, you can find support anytime. Do you want to consider joining the Freedom Alliance?”
When the few examiners heard this, they couldn’t help but look at Wang Xu enviously. To be able to get an invitation from the director, his value in the Freedom Alliance would definitely not be low.
“I’m sorry, I really want to join the Freedom Alliance, but I’m already a member of the Extreme Dao Ancient Hall.” Wang Xu cupped his fists at the director and said.
Extreme Dao Ancient Hall?
The director immediately understood and couldn’t help but shake his head. The Extreme Dao Ancient Hall was really fast. There was finally someone with potential, but he was snatched away so quickly.
Since the director failed to recruit Wang Xu, there was no need to force him either. After chatting for a while, Wang Xu left the Elite Assessment Center.
…
“Welcome to the ‘Extreme Dao Ancient Hall!’”
Wang Xu walked into a skyscraper and the receptionist immediately walked over with a sweet smile.
Meanwhile, the Extreme Dao Ancient Hall was busy. Some people came to sell the corpses of insect beasts in their hands, some were asking for guidance from coaches, some were renting cultivation rooms to cultivate… However, because the space in the Extreme Dao Ancient Hall was limited, most people were still waiting.
“I’m here to report. This is my optical computing chip.” Wang Xu took out his optical computing chip. The receptionist only took a look at it and her eyes lit up. She put on a sweet smile and led Wang Xu inside.
The people who were waiting were stunned. Who was this young man? How could he enter just like that? They had already been waiting for two hours.
Pushing open a magnificent door, Wang Xu walked in. Everyone inside immediately looked over.
“Oh? A new member has joined us?” Not far away, a gentle man who was lying on the sofa enjoying wine and grapes said with a smile.
“Look how old he is. He’s too young.” The drunk, red-nosed old man who was sitting in front of the bar burped and said.
“Welcome, welcome!” A burly man with two sharp blades on his back saw Wang Xu and walked up to him with a smile as he said, “I’m ‘Twin Blades.’ Welcome to the family of the Extreme Dao Ancient Hall!”
“Welcome!” Everyone in the Extreme Dao Ancient Hall laughed and said at the same time.
“Thank you!” Wang Xu replied to them one by one.
There were very few people in the Extreme Dao Ancient Hall, only about twenty people in total. However, Wang Xu felt that the aura of every Gene Warrior was very powerful. Their strength was above his!
This was the Extreme Dao Ancient Hall. Either they didn’t accept anyone, and when they did, that person must be the cream of the crop!
Everyone here was very friendly. They didn’t have the airs of experts, nor did they have a hierarchy among seniors and juniors. They all addressed each other as brothers, joking with each other, and fooling around for no reason. Especially when they teased Wang Xu, this newcomer, it even caused waves of laughter.
“Brother Wang, this is your Extreme Dao Ancient Hall’s optical computing chip. Your identity card has been activated. You can now access the virtual network of the Extreme Dao Ancient Hall. Inside, you can use points to buy anything. As a newcomer, the Extreme Dao Ancient Hall will give you 3,000 points. Use them well!” Twin Blades said as he handed the optical computing chip to Wang Xu.
Wang Xu thanked him and said the command, entering the virtual network.
“Wow!”
After entering the Extreme Dao Ancient Hall’s Points Mall and seeing the superb collection of rare items, Wang Xu’s eyes shone with stars.
On the list of items, be it technological weapons, cultivation resources, different kinds of ancient martial arts, or mysterious materials that the outside world had never heard of, they could all be bought with points.
Wang Xu didn’t hold back either. He put the 30,000 points that the dean had given him into his account and began to choose equipment that suited him.
“I’ve never had a suitable weapon all this time. Let’s see what the price of the A-grade weapons here is.”
Wang Xu entered the A-grade weapon list. Fortunately, A-grade weapons weren’t expensive. The cheaper ones could be obtained with 1,000 points, while the more expensive ones were only 10,000 points.
“Are A-grade weapons that cheap? I’ll go take a look at the S-grade weapons.”
When Wang Xu entered the S-grade weapon list, his heart immediately sank. The cheapest S-grade weapon cost 36,000 points, and the most expensive one cost more than 500,000.
“Forget it, I’ll just buy an A-grade weapon.”
Although A-grade weapons weren’t as powerful as S-grade weapons, they could still deal with level-four and level-five insect beasts. At least it wasn’t a problem to break through their defenses.
“Shadow Saber, A-grade weapon made of ores of the seven elements. It can split apart B-grade metals, weighs 56 kilograms, and is about 2 meters long…”
“Star Destroyer Saber, A-grade weapon made from Deep Sea Orchid Stones. It weighs 47 kilograms and is about 2.3 meters long…”
“Giant-Eyed Saber, A-grade weapon…”
There were many A-grade weapons, and most of them were light weapons. However, Wang Xu didn’t need light weapons.

The more powerful a weapon was, the heavier it would be. The reason why technological weapons were so powerful was because the weight of the weapons could be reduced, allowing the Gene Warriors to wield them more easily.
However, Wang Xu knew that no matter how impressive technology was, it couldn’t change the nature of weight. With his current strength, he could easily wield a weapon that weighed hundreds of kilograms. He wanted to choose a heavyweight weapon.
“Yes, I’ll take this one.” Wang Xu’s eyes lit up as he chose one of the A-grade weapons.
“Blood Bone Giant Saber, A-grade weapon, made from the bones of a level-four insect beast. It weighs 109 kilograms!”
The price of this weapon belonged to the group of top A-grade weapons and was almost 9,000 points. Wang Xu spent one-third of his points on this weapon at once.
