Chapter 22 Inspector
"How is this possible!" Qin Wei found it hard to accept. If Chen Yuan was a mid-level general, wouldn't that mean that all her performance just now was like a clown's ridiculous act?
Qin Wei felt suffocated by her strong sense of self-esteem, and even regretted it a little. How could she have done such childish things?
"Didn't you say he couldn't even beat a wild boar?" Qin Wei suddenly turned her head, staring fiercely at Yang Fan, her tone full of accusation, as if she had been deceived by this person all along.
"I, I..." Yang Fan was completely stunned. He even doubted whether there was something wrong with his memory. Was the Chen Yuan in front of him who was throwing a punch with the power of a mid-level warrior the same person as the timid Chen Yuan in his memory?
Seeing that Yang Fan kept stammering and couldn't answer, Qin Wei felt even more deceived. She snorted coldly and turned to leave.
After Qin Wei left, Yang Fan had no reason to stay any longer. He looked at Chen Yuan, his face full of complex emotions, hesitant to speak, but said nothing. He simply turned and left the martial arts school in silence.
Qin Wei and Yang Fan's departure went unnoticed by anyone; Wang Tai's attention was entirely on Chen Yuan.
Seeing that Chen Yuan's strength indeed matched the assessed battle record, Wang Tai was overjoyed; this was all free achievement.
At this point, Chen Yuan said, "Shall we test their speed and neural reaction time next?"
Wang Tai naturally had no objection and nodded repeatedly, "Okay."
The test results came out quickly.
Speed 163 meters per second!
Neurological response results: Mid-level generals get full marks, high-level generals get excellent marks.
Chen Yuan didn't exaggerate too much; the current results were already enough for Wang Tai to report.
Wang Tai was very satisfied with Chen Yuan's test results, his face beaming with smiles: "Very good! Excellent!"
"In that case, I'll report this to the Jiangnan General Association immediately. You might need to come with me to demonstrate your strength." Wang Tai looked at Chen Yuan with a broad smile. "If you pass the test, there will be great benefits waiting for you."
"Can I get into the elite training camp?" Chen Yuan asked directly.
"They're definitely here for the elite training camp," Wang Tai thought to himself, then said honestly, "I can't guarantee that."
"Because the considerations of the higher-ups at headquarters may be different from ours. Although it is rare to see a 19-year-old mid-level general, it is not impossible," Wang Tai explained. "Strength is only one aspect. Headquarters also looks at your actual combat level, your progress in mastering secret techniques, and so on."
Wang Tai didn't say it explicitly, but Chen Yuan knew that he had only cultivated one C-level manual in the Limitless House's registration, which was too low a level.
"In that case, when you report it, Chief Instructor, please mention one more thing," Chen Yuan said, "Just say that my power level is more than twice the normal level."
"What?!" Wang Tai's eyes widened. "Double the power? Really?!"
Chen Yuan knew that practice was more important than anything else, so he walked to the punching power testing machine again, took a deep breath, and suddenly threw a punch.
This time, he used a technique that involved applying twice the force.
"boom!"
The punching target trembled violently, and the results were quickly displayed on the testing machine's screen.
35584KG!
Wang Tai ran to the testing machine screen, looked at the numbers displayed on it, and immediately gasped.
"It's actually true!" Wang Tai looked at Chen Yuan with a shocked expression, finding it hard to believe that this young man's strength had already approached his own.
As the head of the Jinling branch, Wang Tai naturally possessed the strength of a high-level warrior. However, his power exertion level was only average, at 1.3, and his maximum strength was not much higher than Chen Yuan's.
However, Wang Tai quickly came to his senses, took out his phone in front of Chen Yuan, edited a message, and clicked send.
Less than 30 seconds later, the phone rang from the Jiangnan General Association.
"I am Wang Tai."
"Yes."
"The information is all correct."
"Okay, I'll bring him over then."
"Don't worry, supervisor. I've seen it all with my own eyes."
"Okay."
After hanging up the phone, Wang Tai smiled broadly: "Chen Yuan, you're coming to Jiangnan City with me tomorrow morning. I've already spoken to the supervisor, and the chairman will be coming to see you in person tomorrow, so you'd better do your best."
"If you perform well, your qualification for the elite training camp will be secure."
After hearing this, Chen Yuan nodded.
The next morning, Chen Yuan arrived at the martial arts school on time and took the earliest train with Wang Tai to the main urban area of Jiangnan Base City.
When Chen Yuan and Wang Tai arrived at the headquarters of the Extreme Martial Arts Academy, they found that a lot of people were already standing in front of the building.
When Wang Tai saw those people, he was stunned for a moment. He rubbed his eyes, then quickly led Chen Yuan over and respectfully said to the leader, "Greetings, Chairman and Manager Zhuge."
Standing in the very center of the crowd is Zhou Zhengyong, the president of the Jiangnan City Extreme Martial Arts Hall.
Standing next to Zhou Zhengyong was Manager Zhuge, who was no ordinary person either. He was Zhuge Tao, who had invested in Earth Lord Luo Feng back then.
Zhou Zhengyong nodded to Wang Tao without saying anything, while Zhuge Tao beside him said with a faint smile, "You've come at the right time. Let's wait together; a very important person is coming soon."
Then Zhuge Tao looked at Chen Yuan, smiled and nodded at him, saying, "Not bad, young man. You'd better perform well in front of the important person later."
"A big shot?" Wang Tai leaned closer to Zhuge Tao and asked with a big smile, "Manager, you didn't mention this yesterday, so I wasn't prepared."
"How can I be sure about the affairs of important people?" Zhuge Tao chuckled and cursed under his breath, then his smile faded and he said seriously, "I received your report yesterday, and I immediately reported it to the chairman, who then reported it to the inspector."
"Unexpectedly, that 'Inspector Wei' is actually interested in this matter and is preparing to meet the young man you reported in person."
"Judging by the time, the inspector should be arriving soon. Remember not to be frivolous; show him respect," Zhuge Tao whispered to Wang Tai.
Wang Tai nodded, then put away his smile and returned to Chen Yuan's side, quietly telling him the information he had just found out.
"Inspector Wei, is this person mentioned in the original work?" Chen Yuan thought for a moment, but didn't have much of an impression. He only remembered that Luo Feng had served as inspector.
The Inspector... holds a position in the Ultimate Martial Arts Academy akin to a regional lord, a top leader with absolute authority, and even has the power to directly dismiss the supervisor.
Twenty years ago, the requirement for the inspector was a peak-level War God-level expert; of course, that's no longer the case.
After all, even Chairman Zhou Zhengyong has become a planetary-level expert, so the Inspector's strength can only be greater than Zhou Zhengyong's.
However, Chen Yuan was not too worried, because Jiangnan Base City was Luo Feng's hometown, and no inspector would dare to abuse his power here.
So everyone continued to wait. About half an hour later, a dark blue, saucer-shaped fighter jet appeared on the horizon and quickly flew towards them, soon stopping above them.
The hatch opened, and a figure stepped out of the fighter jet, slowly landing in front of everyone.
"He can pilot an intelligent fighter jet, so he must be the Inspector General." This thought flashed through Chen Yuan's mind, and then he turned his gaze to the man.
This "Inspector Wei" appeared to be quite young, around thirty years old, dressed in sportswear, with a simple and easygoing demeanor.
If he hadn't flown down from the intelligent fighter jet, Chen Yuan would never have guessed he was an inspector just by looking at his appearance. He lacked any of the imposing presence one might expect from someone who had long held a high position, and his unassuming demeanor made him seem like a recent college graduate.
Inspector Wei walked up to the group, smiled shyly, and waved his hand, saying, "Oh dear, why are so many people here to pick me up? Didn't I tell you on the phone that it wasn't necessary to go to all this trouble?"
Chen Yuan sensed that his smile was rather awkward, as if he was quite uncomfortable with the situation, which deepened his doubts. Was this really an inspector?
"Inspector Wei, you are joking. If no one greets you when you personally visit the Jiangnan Extreme Club, wouldn't it make us seem like we don't know the proper etiquette?" Chairman Zhou Zhengyong said with a smile on his face and a respectful tone.
"Oh, Chairman Zhou, you're too kind. It makes me feel embarrassed." Inspector Wei quickly waved his hand again. Chen Yuan, with his sharp eyes, noticed that the other party was actually blushing a little.
Seemingly noticing Chen Yuan's gaze, Inspector Wei turned his head, his eyes lighting up as he looked Chen Yuan up and down. He quickly walked up to Chen Yuan, scrutinized him closely, and exclaimed in admiration, "You must be Chen Yuan? No wonder you're the genius recommended by Chairman Zhou. Your aura... is quite similar to Ah Feng's."
"No, Ah Feng's temperament is madness, while yours is stillness." Inspector Wei shook his head as he spoke, seemingly puzzled. "Strange, why do I feel that you and Ah Feng are so similar?"
"Ah Feng? Could it be Luo Feng? Since his surname is Wei..." A name flashed through Chen Yuan's mind, then he looked at Inspector Wei and asked hesitantly, "Inspector Wei, are you... named Wei Wen?"
