Nine o'clock in the morning.
Yang Wu, who had just seen off his elder sister Yang Yun's family, received a call from an unfamiliar number. It turned out that the secret manual he had purchased from the Limitless House had been delivered.
"Mr. Yang Wu, this is the secret manual you purchased from the Limitless House. You can open it using your fingerprint."
In a beautiful garden within the Mingyue residential area, a delivery man handed Yang Wu a sealed alloy box.
Yang Wu ran his finger over the sensor on the box.
With a 'beep', the alloy box opened smoothly, revealing a book about half a centimeter thick, along with several CDs.
"Mr. Yang Wu, after you've confirmed everything is correct, please sign here!" The delivery man smiled and handed over a professional delivery slip.
Yang Wu took the delivery slip, confirmed the information was correct, and signed his name.
"Mr. Yang Wu, I believe you are already aware of some taboos associated with purchasing this manual,"
the delivery man said with a smile. "However, according to the rules, I must also remind you... The copyright of the manual belongs to its creator. The creator of 'World Destruction' is the world's strongest person, 'Hong.' The purchaser only has the right to learn it, not the right to pass it on. It is absolutely forbidden to copy and teach this manual privately. If discovered, you will be jointly hunted down by the two major martial arts schools, the HR Alliance, and the five major powers!"
"I understand!" Yang Wu nodded with a smile.
If it weren't for this reason, he could have directly practiced the "Blazing Spear Technique" he had obtained in the simulator.
After everything was settled, Yang Wu returned home with the manual. Just as he was about to open it and try practicing, he suddenly received a call from Wu Tong, the head instructor of Yangzhou City.
Wu Tong was also in the Mingyue residential area at the time, and called to discuss something with Yang Wu.
Yang Wu readily agreed.
A few minutes later, Yang Wu entered the Extreme Club. As soon as he entered the lobby, he saw Wu Tong already waiting there.
"Uncle Wu!" Yang Wu greeted him with a smile.
"Yang Wu!" Wu Tong returned the greeting with a smile and led Yang Wu to a reception room on the second floor of the Extreme Club.
After they were seated, Wu Tong asked with a smile, "Yang Wu, I heard that Manager Zhuge planned to arrange for you to go to the Global Martial Arts Basic Training Camp, but you refused?"
"Yes, Uncle Wu, what happened?" Yang Wu smiled.
Manager Zhuge's assistant had indeed called Yang Wu before, asking if he was interested in going to the Global Martial Arts Basic Training Camp, but Yang Wu had refused.
The basic training camp wouldn't be of much help to Yang Wu, who possessed a simulator.
"Yang Wu, as instructed by Manager Zhuge, you're supposed to be assigned to a relatively powerful martial arts team. I wonder if there's a team you'd like to join?" Wu Tong asked with a smile.
If it were an ordinary genius, Wu Tong could simply contact a team of warriors at the general level. No matter how talented a newcomer is, they'll always hold back in a team at first.
But Yang Wu is different!
Wu Tong already knows Yang Wu's full strength from Zhuge Tao: a beginner-level general-level physique and expert-level spearmanship. Strictly speaking, Yang Wu's strength surpasses Wu Tong's, so the team he chooses must be stronger.
Given Yang Wu's current strength, Wu Tong would definitely need to discuss it with him beforehand, otherwise, he might end up doing more harm than good.
"Not yet!" Yang Wu shook his head and said, "Uncle Wu, most of the friends I know, even those who are martial artists, are only warrior-level martial artists who have just passed the quasi-martial artist assessment a few years ago. Their strength is a bit too low for me. Our Limit Martial Arts Academy only has you, Uncle Wu, Uncle Kong, and Brother Chen as general-level martial artists in Yangzhou City. I was just planning to ask you for help!"
Actually, Yang Wu had originally planned to try joining the Fire Hammer Squad with Luo Feng, but later abandoned the idea.
Firstly, the Fire Hammer Squad's strength was already somewhat low for Yang Wu; even the squad leader, Gao Feng, was only about the same strength as Yang Wu.
Secondly, Luo Feng went to the elite training camp shortly after joining the Fire Hammer Squad, which would put the squad at risk of disbanding.
Therefore, Yang Wu changed his mind and decided to find a stronger martial artist squad to join.
"So, Yang Wu, what kind of martial arts team are you planning to join?" Wu Tong asked with a smile.
"The stronger the better, of course!" Yang Wu replied with a smile. "Uncle Wu, you know my strength. If you know any martial arts teams, could you introduce me to one?"
Hearing Yang Wu's words, Wu Tong pondered for a moment and said, "Yang Wu, I was originally going to help you contact Kong Quan's Flying Eagle Team. The Flying Eagle Team has three warrior-level martial artists and is quite famous throughout the Jiangnan Base City. But since you're planning to join a powerful martial arts team, I have a better team to recommend to you, but I don't know if you can join."
"Uncle Wu, what are you talking about?" Yang Wu asked expectantly.
"The Phantom Team!" Wu Tong said with a complicated expression.
"The Phantom Team?" Yang Wu asked doubtfully. He had just become a martial artist and didn't know much about the martial arts teams in Jiangnan Base City. Even the Fire Hammer Team was only familiar to him because of the original story.
"Yang Wu!" Wu Tong said with a hint of regret, "The Phantom Squad's strength is enough to rank among the top three in the entire Jiangnan Base City! I can try to help you get in touch with them and give you a chance to join. It all depends on whether you can seize the opportunity!"
"Rank among the top three in the entire Jiangnan Base City?" Yang Wu was somewhat tempted. Joining such a martial arts squad would definitely greatly help improve his strength.
"Thank you, Uncle Wu!" Yang Wu thanked him while logging into the Limitless Home website to search for information about the Phantom Squad.
He was shocked by what he found.
The Phantom Squad was one of the top elite squads at the Warrior General level in Jiangnan Base City. The team had a total of five members, all of whom were Warrior General level martial artists. Among them, there were two High-level Warrior Generals and three Mid-level Warrior Generals.
Those were High-level Warrior Generals!
You should know that even Zhuge Tao, the manager of the Limitless Martial Arts Academy in Jiangnan Base City, was only at the High-level Warrior General level. A martial arts squad with two manager-level experts—how terrifying was that?
"How was it?" Wu Tong said with a smile, "I didn't lie to you, did I?"
"Uncle Wu!" Yang Wu was somewhat puzzled, "How did you..."
Logically speaking, with Wu Tong's strength, it was unlikely he would have any connection with the Phantom Squad, let alone give Yang Wu a chance to join a martial arts team.
"Haha... I know what you're going to say!" Wu Tong laughed heartily, his expression a mixture of pride and disappointment.
"Your Uncle Wu was once a member of the Phantom Squad!"
