Chapter 21: A New Journey

The nature of the second contract is completely different. It is a recruitment contract for core members of the Extreme Martial Arts School. Once signed, the status and treatment within the school will be greatly improved.

Generally speaking, for martial artists who join the Extreme Martial Arts School, there are relatively few restrictions imposed on them by the school. They enjoy a degree of freedom in their daily lives, without any special constraints or regulations, and, of course, they do not receive any salary. They simply hold the identity of a member of the Extreme Martial Arts School.

There are not many people in the Extreme Martial Arts School who are qualified to receive salaries. With Ye Yun's contract, he can earn an annual salary of 8 billion. Considering Ye Yun's current level of strength, such a salary is already quite good. After all, the Inspector of the Extreme Martial Arts School only earns about 10 billion a year.

However, those who choose to join the core members of the Extreme Martial Arts School generally do not do so solely for the salary. Even for a junior war god, earning 10 billion in a year is not particularly difficult. What they seek are the rights and hidden benefits that come with the identity of core members of the Extreme Martial Arts School.

On Earth today, Hong and Lei Shen are the strongest. They do not concern themselves with low-level matters, but high-level items and information are primarily in the hands of these two individuals. As a core member of the Extreme Martial Arts Hall, one has the opportunity to access these resources and even receive certain discounts when exchanging or purchasing them.

Not to mention that there are many masters in the Extreme Martial Arts Hall. If Hong is not counted, there are still several powerful individuals who surpass the God of War, just like the current Inspector Wang. If they can communicate and guide each other from time to time, it will greatly aid in improving one's own strength.

Of course, it is impossible to gain benefits without paying a price. To enjoy the conveniences and advantages of being a core member of the Extreme Martial Arts School, one naturally has to contribute something. This could involve being transferred to a branch hall or taking on a specific position like Inspector. There are usually assigned tasks to complete, as well as dealing with beast tide outbreaks and monster chaos in various locations, all of which require effort. Joining the core of the Extreme Martial Arts School does not mean that everything will be easy.

Ye Yun had no objections to these terms. You have to pay for what you receive, which is fair. Moreover, as the strongest organization in the world, the Extreme Martial Arts School focuses on training warriors. Even some designated affairs and tasks serve as training for the warriors. Overall, there will definitely be greater benefits.

Turning to the last page of the second contract, Ye Yun discovered some additional clauses. As he read on, his eyes gradually brightened.

"If Party B reaches a combat power amplitude of 12 before July 1, 2056, he will be awarded a full set of S-class combat uniforms and weapons, a full set of any three secret manuals, and a king-class intelligent fighter worth 180 billion."

"If Party B reaches a combat power amplitude of 12 before January 1, 2057, he will be able to obtain a full set of 9-series combat uniforms and weapons, and a full set of any secret manual, worth 80 billion dragon blood each."

"If Party B reaches a combat power amplitude of 12 before August 1, 2057, he will receive a full set of 9-series combat uniforms and weapons, worth 30 billion chalcedony drops."

"If Party B reaches a combat power amplitude of 16 before April 1, 2059, he will be awarded a full set of SS-level combat uniforms and weapons, a full set of any three secret manuals, a copy of 'The Basics of Spiritual Masters,' a king-level intelligent fighter worth 180 billion, and a set of 'Black God,' a relic of ancient civilization."

There are a total of six reward tiers, and the rewards for each tier are substantial, but the requirements for obtaining them are also set very high.

"It is now February 2056. Reaching a combat power amplitude of 12 within four months is no easy task!"

To put it bluntly, these reward tiers are designed to provide Ye Yun with benefits based on his rate of progress. The faster he progresses, the greater the benefits he will naturally receive.

Take the first one, for example. If Ye Yun can successfully increase his combat power amplitude to 12 within four months, the reward will be very generous. However, if the time is extended, the reward will immediately shrink or even disappear.

The Extreme Martial Arts School is aware of Ye Yun's current physical strength and body skills, so these terms were specially set by Hong based on Ye Yun's situation.

Apart from his identity as a psychic, Ye Yun is not particularly outstanding at the moment. Even compared to other students in the elite training camp, he can be considered at the bottom. Therefore, the first reward tier serves more as an incentive. There are many rewards, but it is generally difficult to obtain them.

The additional terms of the six rewards are benefits specially set up by the Extreme Martial Arts School to cater to geniuses like Ye Yun. He does not need to pay anything else. As long as he works hard to practice and improve himself, he can receive the corresponding rewards. This can be regarded as preferential treatment from the Extreme Martial Arts School or Hong.

There are two thresholds for the combat power amplitude: one is to reach 12, and the other is 16. Ye Yun did not look at the other clauses but focused on the first and fourth clauses. These two clauses represent the shortest requirements to meet these two conditions, and the attached rewards are also the best, making them Ye Yun's primary goal.

When Inspector Wang saw Ye Yun gently put down the contract, he did not intend to explain in detail but pointed it out implicitly. "Ye Yun, the last clause of this second contract was set by the owner himself! I also took a rough look at it, and it is not so easy to meet the conditions above! I didn't expect the owner to think so highly of you; you must not disappoint the owner's expectations! You can sign these two contracts at the same time, or you can choose to sign one. It depends on your decision. No matter what you decide, we will respect your choice."

If it had been the Ye Yun of the past, the Extreme Martial Arts School would not have taken out a recruitment contract so quickly. Now, with Ye Yun's strength improved to the level of a mid-level god of war, and as a rare spiritual master, he receives such special treatment. Even if Ye Yun chooses not to enter the elite training camp, it doesn't matter.

Inspector Wang and Ye Yun both automatically ignored the possibility that the second contract would not be signed. The only suspense was whether Ye Yun was still willing to enter the elite training camp.

Without much hesitation, Ye Yun displayed a bright smile, picked up the pen on the coffee table, and quickly signed his name on both contracts.

Riding in Inspector Wang's intelligent fighter jet, Ye Yun set out on the road to the elite training camp.

The elite training camp of the Extreme Martial Arts School is located in the headquarters of the Extreme Martial Arts School—Hongning Base City. After an hour's flight, the intelligent fighter jet slowly landed. Ye Yun followed Inspector Wang off the plane, and only then did he realize that he had entered the elite training camp.

After Ye Yun signed the contract and consulted with him, Inspector Wang took Ye Yun back to Hongning Base City. With only a few days left before school started, Ye Yun didn't have to travel far.

Walking inside the training camp, Ye Yun discovered that although it was called a training camp, all the buildings were beautifully constructed, making one feel as if they had entered an ancient architectural complex. Pavilions and towers could be seen everywhere, small bridges and flowing water were abundant, and there were all kinds of precious flowers, plants, and trees, creating a tranquil and gentle atmosphere.

The most eye-catching feature is a huge tower-shaped building in the center of the training camp. Its height is comparable to that of an ordinary 20-story building. Ye Yun knew that this was the famous "Nine-story Building," which would also be the main location for his upcoming training.

Following Inspector Wang through the training camp, they soon arrived at a quiet area where some ancient-style villas were located. Compared to other buildings, there was nothing particularly special about them, except that the villas covered a slightly larger area.

After entering the villa, Inspector Wang pointed to a nearby room and whispered, "You should stay here for the next few days. Now is the training camp's holiday period. I will have someone arrange for you to officially join the training camp on March 1st!"

Ye Yun naturally had no objections and waited peacefully in Inspector Wang's villa for a few days. On the morning of March 1st, a teacher from the elite training camp came to take Ye Yun away.

Ye Yun lagged behind by half a body length, and looking at the man in blue who was talking non-stop in front of him, his heart couldn't help but twitch. According to Inspector Wang, this man in blue should be his teacher in the elite training camp, but Ye Yun didn't find him particularly reliable at the moment.

The man in blue is named Gu Ye. He is just 30 years old this year, but he is already a powerful high-level war god. He chose to stay at the headquarters of the Extreme Martial Arts School and has just been appointed as a teacher in the elite training camp. In other words, Ye Yun is Gu Ye's first student.

When they first met, Gu Ye came up, put his arm around Ye Yun's shoulders, and excitedly hit Ye Yun's chest heavily, then began to talk non-stop, barely pausing, until Inspector Wang spoke, at which point he reluctantly took Ye Yun away.

Along the way, Gu Ye continued to chatter, discussing various aspects of the elite training camp. Although there was a lot of unnecessary information, Ye Yun gained a general understanding of the entire elite training camp. However, he could also imagine that his ears would not have peace in the future while getting along with Gu Ye.

Nevertheless, Ye Yun recognized that Gu Ye had become a high-level war god at such a young age, indicating that he was undoubtedly a genius. Moreover, being appointed as a teacher in the elite training camp of the Extreme Martial Arts School meant that Gu Ye was exceptional in personal strength and must possess his own unique strengths. The Extreme Martial Arts School valued him highly, and the selection of teachers was undoubtedly done with careful consideration, believing that Gu Ye was qualified for the role.

Gu Ye walked quickly, and Ye Yun followed his pace, soon crossing a small bridge and arriving at a group of buildings.
