Yangzhou City

Before June 1, Wang Yi had finally convinced his parents to let him leave at six o'clock in the morning on June 1.

Under his parents' instructions, he left the house and took the subway, which took over two hours to travel from Jiujiang City to the center of Yangzhou City.

The reason for heading to Yangzhou City Hall rather than Jiujiang City Hall was to meet the legendary NPC chief instructor, Wutong, and to see if he could check in something special at this location. He also wanted to visit Luo Feng to see how the plot was progressing.

Although he usually communicated with Luo Feng online, it was far more convenient to understand the situation in person.

The 'Assessment for Quasi-Martial Artists' generally takes place on the first of each month.

The 'Warrior's Actual Combat Assessment' is held on February 1st and August 1st every year, equivalent to every six months.

Only by passing both the 'Quasi-Warrior Assessment' and the 'Warrior's Actual Combat Assessment' can one be recognized as a true 'warrior'!

In Yangzhou City, Wang Yi observed, "This is Yangzhou City, and Luo Feng's home is also in the Yi'an District of Yangzhou City." He noticed the streets were more crowded and bustling than in Guqing District. "According to the original plot, Luo Feng will faint on the last day of the college entrance examination and then truly awaken his mental power."

Wang Yi admired Luo Feng's mental power.

A thought suddenly crossed his mind: What if he visited Luo Feng's house and tried to check in his mental power?

The idea excited him.

In the original story, Luo Feng was the most talented spiritual teacher among Earth's people, with a brain width reaching '21', stronger than the top spiritual teacher, Ist.

The intelligent life 'Babata' from the crashed spacecraft 'Meteor Star' also recognized Luo Feng as the 'Heir of Meteorite' because of this.

Although Wang Yi had no intention of seizing opportunities from Luo Feng, obtaining Luo Feng's mental power talent through the sign-in process would be fantastic.

After all, this sign-in was essentially a 'copy'. It wouldn't mean Wang Yi's own talent would be diminished.

However, there was no need to rush to Luo Feng's house. For now, he needed to pass the 'Quasi-Warrior Assessment' first.

Wang Yi suppressed his excitement and headed towards the city center.

The Yangzhou City Hall of the Xtreme Martial Arts Center is located in the "Mingyue Community," also known as the Wuzhe Community. Only martial artists are allocated single-family villas in the community.

Looking at the peaceful environment and exquisite villas, Wang Yi felt a pang of desire. He thought silently, "I'll be able to move in soon." Wang Yi wanted his family to live in Mingyue Community in Yangzhou City. Although Jiujiang City also had its own Wuzhe Community, it was not possible to be neighbors with Luo Feng, the protagonist of the original novel!

Wang Yi didn't want to miss the chance to get close to Luo Feng and even secretly gave Luo Feng many ideas to pursue Xu Xin.

Forging friendships through pursuing romantic interests was straightforward.

Even though Wang Yi was inexperienced in this area, he could research information and present himself as a love expert, potentially surprising Luo Feng with his advice. Whether Luo Feng took the advice or not was uncertain.

Wang Yi guessed that Luo Feng, due to his character and sense of responsibility, would not easily fall in love during high school due to his family responsibilities and the college entrance examination.

As Wang Yi approached, the line of soldiers guarding the main entrance with guns looked at him.

One soldier stepped forward and said, "This is the Wuzhe Community. Please stay away from the yellow line."

Wang Yi understood that these soldiers were highly trained and armed. Provoking them could be dangerous.

"I am a senior student at the Extreme Martial Arts Club here for the Quasi-Warrior Assessment on the 1st of each month," Wang Yi explained while staying outside the yellow line.

The soldiers remained vigilant. The soldier who spoke first looked at Wang Yi and said, "Please wait a moment." He quickly went to the guard lounge, and soon, a gray-haired old man emerged, rubbing his eyes and yawning. He looked at Wang Yi and said with a smile, "Another young person arriving early. Show me your ID card and student ID."

Wang Yi handed over his student ID and ID card, thinking to himself that this old man was like the NPC janitor found in many fan novels of the "Swallowing Star" series.

Compared to the elite NPC "Wutong," the chief instructor of the Yangzhou City Guild Hall, this old janitor seemed relatively unknown.

Wang Yi sighed, realizing that he now had the treatment of a protagonist.

As he watched the old man check his information with a handheld computer, Wang Yi thought it was important to acknowledge the old man's hard work.

"May I ask for your surname, sir?" Wang Yi asked politely.

The gray-haired man glanced at Wang Yi and, noticing his good attitude, smiled. "My surname is Zhang. You can call me Lao Zhang or Uncle Zhang."

Wang Yi gave a thumbs up. "Uncle Zhang, you're really amazing."

Lao Zhang was a bit puzzled by the familiarity but smiled at Wang Yi.

"Ah, 18 years old?" Lao Zhang noticed Wang Yi's age on the computer and was surprised. "You're quite a young man to come for the Quasi-Warrior Assessment at this age. I hope you succeed."

"Alright, your identity information checks out. You can go in," the old man said, waving his hand. The guard soldiers immediately lowered their weapons, and the electric sliding door to the community opened.

"Uncle Zhang, see you later," Wang Yi waved as a soldier led him into the community.

Lao Zhang watched Wang Yi being escorted in and muttered, "This young man seems to have a good personality and potential. It's a shame my granddaughter is still too young. Otherwise, I'd introduce him... though the age difference between thirteen and eighteen doesn't seem too great."

Lao Zhang's musings aside, Wang Yi followed the soldier into the Mingyue community, admiring the beautiful scenery and the single-family villas nestled among the trees, feeling hopeful and excited.

"I'll be able to move in soon."

"My sister's living conditions aren't great, but I can improve them."

"I'll also be able to repay money to relatives and friends."

"Mom and Dad won't have to work so hard anymore."

Wang Yi's heart was full of anticipation and hope.

Soon, the soldier and Wang Yi arrived at a building in the middle of the community.

The soldier stopped and said politely, "Sir, this is the Extreme Hall. Once you go in, someone will assist you with the assessment process."

"Thank you," Wang Yi said, watching as the soldier turned and left, then strode into the legendary hall.

Wang Yi felt a sense of witnessing history as he entered.

"Speaking of which, Luo Feng probably won't come for the Quasi-Warrior Assessment until July 1. I've arrived ahead of him."

Wang Yi felt a pang of regret.

He had originally hoped to participate in the Quasi-Warrior Assessment alongside Luo Feng and get closer to him.

Although Wang Yi had been in this world for many years, not much had changed. He had no special advantages, only the memories from this world.

As a result, Luo Hua's leg was still broken, and Luo Feng's family had been grieving for a long time.

Wang Yi couldn't do much; he was too young and helpless back then.

In fact, Luo Hua's broken leg was a driving force for Luo Feng, but this motivation was personal and didn't help Luo Hua much.

Luo Hua had faced discrimination and scorn, which led to tragic outcomes.

"Well, that's a private matter for Luo Feng's family to resolve," Wang Yi thought, dismissing the issue. "At least Luo Hua has eventually overcome his hardships and achieved success."

Both brothers were dedicated, and regardless of their future achievements, their lives were destined to be full.

"I wonder if there will be another chance in the future."

With that thought, Wang Yi entered the hall.
