“Hey! You monster, don’t run, my Heroic Intent is full, take my Intentional Bombing Fist!”

Inside the office, Xue Jing looked through the window at the training ground below where students, having learned new moves, were passionately sparring. He reached out to take a document that Ning Yuantai handed over.

“Xue, all the information on Zhao Longtu is right here.”

Ning Yuantai said.

Xue Jing nodded, “Thanks for the hard work, Yuantai.”

Ning Yuantai waved his hand dismissively, sighing, “Working for you, there’s no such thing as hard work or not. It’s all part of the job!”

Xue Jing opened the file, the first page was a particularly fierce ID photo of Zhao Longtu, looking like a mugshot, next to it were basic details like gender, ethnicity, and educational background.

Skipping to the second page, Xue Jing started reading quickly, scanning a whole page worth of dense information in just two or three seconds, continuously flipping through, and finished reviewing Zhao Longtu’s data in half a minute.

“So that’s how it is…”

Xue Jing nodded, roughly understanding what had happened to Zhao Longtu.

“He’s a valuable fighting force… Can you find out where he is now?”

Xue Jing looked at Ning Yuantai.

Ning Yuantai raised his eyebrows proudly, saying, “I thought you’d ask that, so I had already asked the Silver City Zhi Ge Base to check for us, and they found him.”

“At the… Extreme Martial Ascension Palace.”

Xue Jing asked, “What’s he doing there?”

Ning Yuantai explained, “Any Martial Artist still passionate about martial arts surely gets drawn to that place… Zhao Longtu has only one reason for going — because the Extreme Martial Ascension Palace is there!”

Xue Jing rubbed his chin, “So which level is he on now, and how can we find him?”

“The news was received this morning; at that time, Zhao Longtu was at the 8233rd level.”

Xue Jing raised an eyebrow, “That high? What kind of strength level is needed to reach that?”

Ning Yuantai pondered before saying, “For floors below ten thousand, it’s hard to define specific strength levels. You just need to defeat three opponents on that floor to move up, and this floor count might not even be Zhao Longtu’s limit yet.”

“However, another piece of data gives us a rough estimate… Xue, do you remember Zhou Yinglin?”

Xue Jing nodded. Though he was an insignificant opponent, he had to admit, he learned a lot from him, including Impeccable, making a lasting impression on Xue Jing.

“Remember, what about him?”

Ning Yuantai smiled, “Zhou Yinglin came to the Seventh Metropolitan Circle a while ago… and also went to the Extreme Martial Ascension Palace, causing quite a discussion.”

“He took three days to climb through the first ten thousand floors and entered the ‘expert zone’… He is currently around the 17000th floor.”

Xue Jing furrowed his brows, “Such a big time difference, there must be another way to skip levels, right?”

Ning Yuantai nodded, “Of course… It’s all about the initial ‘data testing’.”

“The Extreme Martial Ascension Palace is entirely controlled by a super AI named ‘Xuanling’, with no official personnel inside, only the Level Master and Heavenly Lord of the top 972 floors have some management authority.”

“Any person entering the first floor of the Extreme Martial Ascension Palace will undergo a physical data test by ‘Xuanling’ to roughly estimate the entrant’s strength and then assign them a ‘starting floor.'”

“Therefore, the strong don’t waste time on lower floors… Zhou Yinglin performed well in the data test, started at a high floor level, and therefore moved through ten thousand floors quicker.”

Xue Jing suddenly realized, “I see.” Experience more tales on My Virtual Library Empire

Ning Yuantai shrugged, “But as you know, the strength of a Martial Artist isn’t determined by merely comparing ‘stats’; hence, the floors assigned after data testing are quite conservative. For example, even if an entrant’s physical data could match the average level of a twenty thousand floor expert, Xuanling, after testing, would only assign them to start around the three or four thousand floors.”

Xue Jing nodded, “That makes sense.”

He stood up, “Let’s go, Yuantai.”

Ning Yuantai looked confused, “Where to, Xue?”

“Of course, to the Extreme Martial Ascension Palace,” Xue Jing said with a smile.

“With the little time left, I only have two more days to mentor the students… better catch that truant.”

Ning Yuantai was stunned, “Uh, this…”

He instinctively thought it difficult, not enough time… To reach higher floors in the Extreme Martial Ascension Palace, one must fight their way up, there is no tourist passage…

To meet Zhao Longtu, who is on the 8000 plus floors, one must fight up to 8000 plus floors themselves… it seemed tough to achieve in such short time.

But just as he was about to speak, Ning Yuantai’s Iron-blooded Jing bloodline fiercely activated.

Memories of the incredible feats Xue Jing had achieved flashed through his mind, and he immediately chose to believe in Xue.

If Xue says he can do it, then he definitely can!

“Alright, I’ll go arrange the aircraft!”

Ning Yuantai saluted, excitedly.

He tapped on his wristband a couple of times, starting to call the Zhi Ge Base to arrange transport, and opened the office door to step out without disturbing Xue Jing.

But as the door opened, he found someone standing at the doorway, hand raised in a hesitant greeting, about to knock.
