Chapter 37: A Being Beyond the God of War

A few days later, Mingyue Community, third-floor villa.

Wang Kun received a call from the Extreme Martial Hall, saying they had found a suitable martial artist team for him and wanted him to meet the team’s captain. But after thinking it over, Wang Kun simply declined the arrangement.

After all, Wang Kun had already become a planetary-level powerhouse, one of the few senators on the planet. What need did he have to join a team of warlord-level martial artists?

Though his rapid rise to such strength was unprecedented on Earth in this world, Wang Kun had already devised a way to handle it.

Thus, Wang Kun spoke directly to the Hall Master, Wu Tong. “Hall Master, I don’t want to join a martial artist team anymore.”

“Why?”

“It’s like this—my strength has suddenly surged over the past few days. I believe even the most formidable Wargod wouldn’t be my match now.”

“What? Wang Kun, are you sure you’re not joking with me?” Wu Tong, on the other end of the call, was stunned.

Was this a joke? Wang Kun had just passed the martial artist’s combat assessment, and his file still recorded him as a warrior-level martial artist. Now he was saying that he was stronger than even the mightiest Wargod.

“Hall Master, I wouldn’t make such a joke with you!”

“Actually, I am a Spiritual Master. I’ve had several awakenings recently. Just yesterday, I went to the wilderness zone, and discovered I could fly without relying on spiritual force.”

“Tell me, does that make me stronger than a Wargod?”

Within the Extreme Martial Hall’s exclusive internal network, there were numerous materials about Spiritual Masters and martial artists. However, the information accessible to ordinary martial artists only covered below-Wargod level. Anything above Wargod required entry into the Wargod Palace’s virtual network.

At that moment, listening to Wang Kun’s explanation, Wu Tong’s mind buzzed with disbelief.

Where was he? Was he dreaming?

Wu Tong’s shock was understandable—he himself hadn’t achieved Wargod level. Now Wang Kun, who had only become a martial artist less than a month ago, was telling him he had already surpassed Wargod level.

And Wang Kun spoke with such certainty, even mentioning that those who surpassed Wargod could fly.

It seemed Wang Kun might indeed be telling the truth.

“Wang Kun, come to the Extreme Martial Hall immediately for a test.” Wu Tong’s tone changed noticeably as he spoke to Wang Kun.

If Wang Kun truly was beyond Wargod level, his status would far exceed even the four giants of the Extreme Martial Hall at the base.

Hearing this, Wang Kun didn’t hesitate.

Having decided to reveal his strength, to make his future actions more convenient, Wang Kun flew straight from his villa in Mingyue Community to the Extreme Martial Hall in the main city of Jiangnan Base.

“Hm, what’s this? Someone beyond Wargod level? Which senator has come to Jiangnan Base City?” Inside the main hall, several Wargod-level martial artists watched Wang Kun’s approach, each secretly guessing.

Moments later, these Wargod-level martial artists at the Extreme Martial Hall learned that Wang Kun was a newcomer, an eighteen-year-old who had only been a martial artist for less than a month.

One by one, they were so shocked their eyes nearly popped out.

“A being beyond Wargod level, and Senator Wang is only eighteen. Genius doesn’t even begin to describe him.”

In truth, when Wang Kun arrived at the Extreme Martial Hall, there was no need for testing. The sheer aura he radiated made the assembled Wargods feel a deep sense of dread.

Faced with this situation, the Hall Supervisor, Zhuge Tao, could only stand respectfully to the side.

“Senator Wang, we’ve already reported your situation to the Hall Master. He requests that you go to the Extreme Martial Hall’s global headquarters.”

“Understood. I’ll go.” Wang Kun nodded.

“Please wait here for a while, Senator. Inspector Liu is en route—he’s not far from Jiangnan Base City. He’ll escort you to Hongning Base City.”

Wang Kun waved his hand dismissively. “No need for such trouble. I can get to Hongning Base City myself in no time.”

As soon as Wang Kun finished speaking, he soared skyward, vanishing from sight in moments.

“As expected of a Spiritual Master—Senator Wang’s flight speed is far above the others,” the Wargods observed, making comparisons in their hearts.

Normally, a first-stage planetary-level martial artist could reach 900 to 1000 meters per second using the magnetic field generated by their internal micro planet.

But Wang Kun, combining magnetic field and spiritual force, could reach 1300 meters per second.

Such flying speed surpassed most senator-level martial artists on Earth.

After all, even among senator-level powerhouses, there were varying degrees of strength.

Except for a few senators, Wang Kun could utterly disregard the others.

For one reason only—Wang Kun was a planetary-level Spiritual Master.

At the same level, a Spiritual Master could completely overwhelm a martial artist.

About an hour later, Wang Kun arrived at Hong’s residence in Hongning Base City, which was also the true global headquarters of the Extreme Martial Hall.

It was a massive spaceship building, stretching ten thousand meters long.

In reality, it was a decommissioned alien spacecraft, refitted by Hong to become his residence, as well as the global headquarters of the Extreme Martial Hall.

“Welcome, Senator Wang. The Hall Master is waiting inside. Please follow me.”

Wang Kun followed a woman in a black uniform into the ship.

At the moment he entered, the system’s melodious prompt sounded in his mind.

Beep! Special location check-in: (Activated. Current special location detected—Hong’s residence.)

“Deep Blue, I want to check in!” Wang Kun immediately called out the system’s activation phrase in his mind.

Beep! Check-in successful!

Congratulations, host, you’ve obtained King-class intelligent fighters +2, Universe-class intelligent fighters +2, Primal-class intelligent fighter +1, Black God suits +2, Spirits of Grass and Wood +2, Fundamentals of Spiritual Force, Fundamentals of Martial Arts, and Mind Weapon Sky Shuttle.

Listening to the system’s pleasant notifications in his mind, Wang Kun thought to himself—Perfect!

Moments later, the woman in the black uniform led Wang Kun to a vast lounge.

There, two formidable figures were already waiting for him.

One was a man, cold as an iceberg. The other, a woman, whose figure was alluring and fiery. Both wore masks.

These two were Hong’s personal guards, early confidants who had followed him from the beginning.

Seeing Wang Kun arrive, the icy man spoke directly. “The Hall Master is waiting inside. Go on in.”

Wang Kun nodded and entered.

Inside the spacious room, Hong, dressed in black, scrutinized Wang Kun closely, then smiled and nodded.

“Wang Kun, please sit.”

Hong gestured to a black meditation cushion beside him.

As Hong sized up Wang Kun, Wang Kun distinctly felt an immense pressure bear down on him. Though brief, it was overwhelming, giving him the sense that resistance was futile.

Faced with such a situation, Wang Kun had only one option—to teleport away.

The power of teleportation could only be restricted by those who had mastered the laws of space to a high degree and could enact spatial lock. Other methods, even domains, were powerless against it.

“Wang Kun, can you tell me how you awakened your spiritual force?” After Wang Kun sat, Hong began to inquire.

To Hong, Wang Kun becoming a planetary-level powerhouse in such a short time was truly astonishing.

Of course, he was merely surprised.

He wasn’t certain how Wang Kun had achieved planetary-level strength so quickly. If it was due to a rare treasure, then there was nothing remarkable. From ancient civilization relics, he knew there were many treasures in the universe that could instantly elevate an ordinary martial artist to planetary level.
