The Martial Arts Competition in the Starlight District ended quickly.
The champion was, without a doubt, Chung Shen-soo.
Rumor had it that his odds were so low that it made one's hair stand on end. To a certain extent, he had won over the public.
Fortunately, his method of beating his opponent until they vomited was very eye-catching and earned him another two Heavenly Talent Points.
Sunset Gym.
Uncle Niu looked at Hua Wu on the TV screen and fell into a rare silence.
…
Martialist Association.
It was located in the center of the Starlight District and covered a vast area. There was a large amount of vegetation around it, creating a quiet and secluded atmosphere in the luxurious commercial district where every inch of land was worth its weight in gold.
Hearing that this was Chung Shen-soo's destination, the taxi drivers were unusually polite and didn't even take the money. They probably felt honored to be able to drive such a big shot.
That made sense. Someone who could come here and rely on taxis as a means of transportation as Chung Shen-soo was really speechless.
"Hua Wu's dream begins now."
Chung Shen-soo looked at the tall building and didn't pay much attention to it. He walked through the door.
There was no security at the door, and there was a lady sitting behind the front desk. Other than that, there was no one else.
However, Chung Shen-soo keenly sensed some danger.
Perhaps, other than the large number of surveillance cameras in the corner, there was still a lot of hidden power.
"Hello, how can I help you?"
The lady at the front desk had a gentle voice. He didn't know what kind of training she had gone through, but she had a very good temper. She didn't discriminate against Chung Shen-soo, who was dressed like a street vendor.
"I'm Hua Wu. I called to make an appointment, and I'm here to register today," Chung Shen-soo replied in a deep voice.
"Yes, please follow me upstairs."
The lady at the front desk glanced at the schedule on the computer, bowed, and led Chung Shen-soo to the elevator.
The elevator stopped on the sixteenth floor. When it opened, there was a large living room with a bright red wool carpet and a row of sofas on both sides.
"Please wait for a moment. Our supervisor will be here soon."
The receptionist pressed the button for the elevator, and Chung Shen-soo found a seat. In less than three minutes, the elevator door opened again, and a white-collared lady walked out.
She had a pretty face, and her steps were vigorous. She seemed to know martial arts as well. "Hello, Mr. Hua. I'm Bai Yu. It's my pleasure to serve you!"
"Yes."
Chung Shen-soo grabbed some snacks from the table in the living room and asked, "Is there a problem with me registering as a martialist?"
"No." White Feather smiled and replied, "According to the rules of our association, you are fully qualified to register and become a candidate member of our association. You will enjoy many benefits and obtain more information to unlock. As long as you complete one more assessment, you will be able to obtain the title of an official martial artist. This is recognized by the various countries on the planet, and you will enjoy many judicial exemptions and privileges. At the same time, our association will also give you a basic annual salary, a personal secretary, a chauffeur, a villa … If there are missions, there will be additional bonuses."
"If I don't take the test, then I'm just a substitute and not an official member?" Chung Shen-soo thought of Lan Wangchuan, who clearly had the strength of a martialist but did not dare to take the test. He then thought of the death of Uncle Niu's son, and the smile on his face became even brighter. "Then … what is the test?"
"This is top-secret information. All members must sign a confidentiality agreement before they can view it," White Feather said with a solemn expression.
"This involves the deepest secrets of the world. It's the highest secret of the Star Alliance!"
"In that case, I'll sign it!"
Chung Shen-soo did not think for long before agreeing and signing it casually.
This feeling was like an ordinary person signing a receipt when going out for a meal. Miss White Feather was stunned.
"Alright, quickly bring the information over."
Chung Shen-soo waved his hand and let White Feather go out. Not long after, she returned with a stack of documents. It was obvious that she had prepared it long ago.
He reached out to take it, took a sip of tea, and casually flipped it open. After reading a few pages, an interested expression appeared on his face. "Heavenly Demon? Spiritual Realm? "
"Yes, Heavenly Demon … In the beginning, some scientists treated them as aliens. However, we later observed that not only did their flesh and blood structure completely violate some scientific foundations, but more importantly, even some of the 'rules' of our universe would lose effect around them. Thus, they were named Heavenly Demons, meaning that they are demons from beyond the heavens!"
"The time and place of their first appearance is already unknown. The only thing we can be sure of is that they have an extremely strong hatred for the life on our planet, or rather, a need. There was once a case where the people of a small town had their souls sucked away by a Heavenly Demon and turned into a vegetable."
"Every time a Heavenly Demon appears, there will be a small wormhole that forms a special domain within a certain range. In this domain, gunpowder will completely lose its effect and will not be able to explode. Even long-range missiles will not be able to cause any damage to them. After Professor Enzo's conjectures, we suspect that this is a special spatial effect formed after two different worlds have folded. Technology will die there, but ancient training and pure physical strength can still be used."
"Thus, the Star Alliance strongly supports the development of martial arts and nurtures martial artists to fight against the Heavenly Demons behind the wormhole."
White Feather used a heavy tone to explain to Chung Shen-soo.
Chung Shen-soo nodded. "No wonder …"
With the current technology, no matter which Pugilist was blocked, a dozen machine guns would kill them, or they would be bombarded with missiles. No flesh and blood would be able to survive. Just for the sake of nurturing the spirit of martial arts, it was somewhat unreasonable to promote Pugilists so much.
Now, he finally understood why.
As for those official martial artists, they would usually go silent after a few years. Eighty percent of them had either died in a duel with the Heavenly Demons or were crippled.
Uncle Niu's son, Niu Dingtian, had probably also died in the hands of the Heavenly Demons?
Lan Wangchuan did not dare to compete with the Heavenly Demons. Even if he had the strength of a martial artist, he did not dare to take the test.
"Then … Mr. Hua, are you going to take the test?"
White Feather's eyes were filled with anticipation. "The title of official martial artist is both an honor and a responsibility. They are the unsung heroes who protect all of humanity!"
"When?"
Chung Shen-soo's eyes flashed, and he asked the most important question.
"I don't know. It depends on when the Heavenly Demons invade. According to the previous pattern, there will always be one or two invasions in the entire Star Alliance every year. They are all dealt with at the early stages. We have the technology to quickly sense and search wormholes and the Spiritual Realm …"
"I agree to participate in the test. If there are any documents such as being responsible for my own life and death, please sign them for me," Chung Shen-soo said calmly.
White Feather's mouth opened slightly. It was obvious that the other party's straightforwardness had exceeded her expectations.
Normally, it would take a long time just to explain that the Heavenly Demons were not a prank, right?
This person was a little too straightforward.
"This is the voluntary letter and the disclaimer!" Even so, White Feather quickly brought the documents. After Chung Shen-soo signed them one by one, she handed a black cell phone to Chung Shen-soo. "This is your personal communication device. I will inform you immediately if there is any news. Before the test, I will be your temporary secretary. Thus, you can leave everything to me …"
