"I brought you something to eat. Jinlan Prefecture's roast goose is very famous."
Liu Hou naturally had confidence in Luo Kai. He smiled and took out a packet of steaming hot food and a bottle of good wine.
Luo Kai never refused food. He took the roast goose and ate heartily. It tasted like Cantonese style roast goose. It was very good.
"Xiao Kai, come with me to the Association for Physical Arts tomorrow to sign up and do a test for you."
"What kind of test?"
"Of course it's a physical warrior test!"
Luo Kai wasn't interested in these empty titles. He shook his head and said, "No need."
Liu Hou smiled and said, "Physical warrior isn't just a title. When the time comes, you'll be issued an identity token. With this, you can travel to various countries. Physical warriors usually travel to various countries to increase their knowledge. Xiao Kai, you're so young. You must want to go out and travel. It's very inconvenient without the identity of a physical warrior."
"Oh, okay then."
Luo Kai nodded in agreement. The large roast goose was quickly eaten by him alone. Suddenly, his gaze fell on the newspaper that wrapped the roast goose. There were a few lines of unusually eye-catching words: "Two physical warriors appear in Seongma Province … The rest of the words were covered by oil."
"Okay, Xiao Kai, you should rest." Liu Hou got up and left.
The main channel to understand the outside world in this world was newspapers. Luo Kai also had a copy at his bedside. However, he wasn't used to reading it yet. He walked over and picked it up to read carefully.
The newspaper vividly described the scene at that time, and added a lot of exaggerated elements. It described Luo Kai and Big Beard as robbers who unscrupulously broke into the banquet and took away the Ferocious Beasts. Then, the high level Physique Warriors and the fight between Physique Masters were described in an extremely exciting way. In the end, the good finally defeated the evil after a hard battle. It could be read as a novel.
There was also a realistic sketch below. There was an old man with a full beard, a handsome man with three eyes, and a very ferocious person covered in blood. There was no need to think about it, it was definitely himself.
…
The Association for Physical Arts Branch was located on the northeast side of Jinlan Prefecture. It was a stand-alone building that covered an area of tens of acres. The large stone at the entrance was engraved with the words "Seongma Province Physical Arts Branch".
No matter what kind of knowledge it was, it required communication and integration in order to progress. It was the same for physical arts. When the Association for Physical Arts was first established, its purpose was to provide a place for human physical warriors to exchange pointers and learn from each other. Later on, it gradually evolved into the strongest civil force among the humans. Generally speaking, as long as a human became a physical warrior, they would join the association. No one dared to underestimate its power.
There were three ways for a Physique Warrior to be appraised. They mainly tested the most basic Skin Tempering, Tendon Tempering, and Bone Tempering. They could also be summarized as strength, speed, and defense. The three complemented each other and would be adjusted according to the individual's characteristics. Some people were very agile, some people were very strong, and some people focused on defense. As long as one was proficient in any one of the three, they would be recognized as a Physique Warrior by the Association for Physical Arts.
Luo Kai had not cultivated these three stages. The strength of the Soft Body Tempering Technique lay in the transformation of the muscles, bones, and tendons. Therefore, his Tendon Tempering and Bone Tempering had already reached a very high level. The only weakness was the Skin Tempering. The new skin was far less tough than the original one that had been transformed by the Aura.
Liu Hou immediately arranged everything for Luo Kai. Three elderly Physique Warriors would be the judges. The first test was strength, which was to see how many kilograms of force a punch could produce. The threshold for a Physique Warrior was generally around three thousand kilograms. If it was too low, they would need to test other aspects.
What did three thousand kilograms mean? Simply put, one could punch through a ten-centimeter-thick steel plate. One's own strength could also easily lift a car. This was the transformation that physical arts had on humans.
To Luo Kai, it was extremely easy. He did not use any method to circulate his Qi and blood. A casual punch of his exceeded three thousand kilograms. There was nothing else to test. He received a small booklet with a steel seal and left with Liu Hou. From now on, he was also a member of the Association for Physical Arts registered as a Physique Warrior.
On the way back, he parted ways with Liu Hou and strolled around Jinlan Prefecture alone. This city was actually not much different from Longyang City. The air was also filled with the smell of soot. The only difference was that there were many more gasoline-powered cars.
When he passed by a small square, he sat down on a chair. His mind was still thinking about the mysteries of the small universe. Last time, Lady Hua had told him about the six types of forces that built the world. It reminded him of a strange book from ancient China. The book corresponded the meridians, bones, and internal organs of a human to the material energy of the outside world. The heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys corresponded to the five elements of metal, wood, fire, and earth. The Yang and Yin Meridians corresponded to light and darkness. The Chaos should correspond to blood, muscles, and bones. As for the remaining time and space, he did not know what they corresponded to. It was very likely related to a person's spiritual will.
"Big Brother, do you want to buy a bouquet of flowers?"
A slightly dirty little girl who looked to be around seven or eight years old looked at him pitifully while holding a large bouquet of flowers.
Luo Kai took out a small embroidered wallet and took out a ten yuan bill. This small wallet was given to him by Lu Qing before he left. Everyone around him knew that he was a pauper.
"Thank you, Big Brother." The little girl received it happily. Then, she picked out the largest bouquet of flowers and handed it over.
Luo Kai took the flowers and sniffed them. They were very fragrant. Unfortunately, they were not as fragrant as Zi Lan's. He got up and left. As he walked, he suddenly felt that something was wrong. His sixth sense was amazing. He could sense that there seemed to be a few hidden auras following him.
He was secretly puzzled. He didn't seem to have any enemies at the moment, nor was there anything worth paying attention to. He began to quicken his pace. Gradually, his face turned gloomy. Every time he felt that he had shaken off the aura, the feeling of being followed would quickly surge into his mind. The other party was obviously proficient in a secret tracking technique.
After thinking for a while, he decided to walk in the direction of the Kim Orchid Hotel. If there were really people with bad intentions towards him, they would make a move sooner or later. With his current strength, as long as it wasn't a physical master, there was nothing to be afraid of.
At midnight, in a small alley not far from the Kim Orchid Hotel, three people dressed in black gathered together.
The leader said in a low voice, "The target is tough. This business won't be easy to do."
"Yeah, this kid is very strange. I only took a glance at him just now and I was immediately detected."
"Big Brother, the information says that this kid has the strength of a high-level physical warrior. I'm afraid the three of us won't be able to do it."
The leader sneered, "Where else can you find a business worth 30 million star dollars in this world? Let's continue to keep an eye on him. I reckon that there will be more people coming to Jinlan Prefecture. We don't have to do it ourselves. When the time comes, we can just fish in troubled waters."
"You want to kill me?"
A cold voice sounded above their heads. Unknowingly, a young man with sharp eyes was standing on the eaves of the house.
The three people were shocked. When did this person come? They didn't even notice him at all. They looked at each other and immediately scattered in all directions. Three black shadows quickly disappeared into the night.
Luo Kai stood quietly on the eaves and didn't chase after them. His heart was full of doubts. These three people were the auras that followed him during the day. From their conversation, it seemed that someone had put a bounty on him with a price of 30 million star dollars. When did he become so valuable?
