I manage female characters in all the heavens.

"That girl, would you be willing to become my disciple?" He practically shouted these words.

We must get them! We absolutely must get them!!

Chapter 220 Don't panic, I'll make a phone call

"Captain, what's wrong with you?!" Wu Tong was a little confused. What's wrong with you all of a sudden?

The man in the black robe shouted with great force, making the air in the entire sixth-floor hall buzz.

His deep, star-like eyes were fixed on "Liu Ting," his gaze so intense it seemed to melt anyone, completely ignoring everyone else present.

The other eight candidates who came to take the exam were all stunned, staring dumbfounded at the silver-haired, black-robed man who had suddenly appeared.

Although they couldn't sense the man's specific strength, just the fact that he could appear here so quietly, and that even Chief Instructor Wu Tong had to call him Captain, made it obvious that he was definitely a big shot.

And this important figure actually shouted at a high school student who came to participate in the preliminary martial arts assessment in front of everyone, "Are you willing to become my disciple?" His tone was so urgent that it was as if the person would run away if he hesitated for even a second.

Luo Feng stood next to "Liu Ting," his pupils shrinking slightly.

Although he was only a senior student, his innate mental strength made him much more perceptive than ordinary people, and he could clearly sense the terrifying aura emanating from the silver-haired man in black robes.

It was a sense of oppression, like a dormant volcano, as if the other party could overturn the entire building with just a flick of their finger.

Such a powerful figure is actually vying to take Liu Ting as his disciple?

A storm raged in Luo Feng's heart.

He knew that Liu Ting was powerful and had amazing talent. Whether it was the skill that allowed her to defeat Zhang Haobai in an instant, or the ease with which she guided him at the martial arts school, it all showed that her martial arts level far surpassed that of her peers.

But he didn't expect that Liu Ting's excellence would make even a strong person of this level unable to sit still, jumping out to snatch her away in front of so many people before the assessment even started.

Liu Ting is absolutely dazzling!

Liu Ting herself remained quite calm.

Upon hearing this, she merely raised an eyebrow, sized up the man in black robes, and then slowly asked, "Who are you?"

Who do you think you are?

The man in black robes was taken aback, then realized that he had been presumptuous.

He took a deep breath, suppressed his excitement, and said seriously, "My name is Han Lie, a high-level warrior-level mentalist."

His tone was slightly proud. High-level warriors were already very rare, with only a handful in the entire Yangzhou City. High-level mentalists were even rarer, with only a handful in the entire Jiangnan Base City.

However, if this is all you've got, you're probably not qualified to be my teacher. On the contrary, I would find your skills too inadequate.

Liu Ting immediately shook her head: "I have no intention of becoming your disciple, please rest."

Your name is Han Lie, not Han Li. Do you also want to take me as your disciple?

Han Lie frowned, about to try to persuade him again, explaining the benefits of becoming his disciple.

Wu Tong pulled him aside and explained the situation regarding "Liu Ting".

Upon learning that this was Liu Ting, who scored 749 points in this year's college entrance examination and had already been reserved by the Institute of High Energy Physics at Jiangnan University, Han Lie was heartbroken.

He thought it was a waste that such an incomprehensible talent for mental cultivation was used to do scientific research!

He could tell at a glance that "Liu Ting" had not cultivated genetic energy, and there were no special traces or auras on her body, yet she still saw through his mental shield at a glance, which must mean that she had awakened mental power.

Every recorded psychic has awakened their psychic power after cultivating genetic energy and being stimulated by that energy.

Now, someone has emerged who awakened his mental power without any primal energy stimulation; it's simply a myth!

With this push, he simply couldn't imagine how high Liu Ting's talent as a mentalist was to be able to do such a thing. If she had honestly become a martial artist, she probably could have easily reached the level of a War God or higher just by relying on her talent!

This is terrifying! It could shake human history! It's simply unacceptable that such a genius would go and do scientific research!

Ignoring Wu Tong's warning, he continued to approach "Liu Ting" and persuade her. Even if "Liu Ting" didn't like him, he still had connections. He could introduce "Liu Ting" to a War God-level mentalist as her mentor.

Liu Ting scratched her ear, looking completely innocent: "But I've already promised someone else."

Han Lie was furious. He paced around in circles for a while, then stopped in front of "Liu Ting" and said urgently, "Liu Ting, please reconsider!"

"Scientific research is important, but with your talent as a spiritual master, once you become a top expert, the people you can protect and the things you can do will be far more numerous than what you would do in a laboratory!"

"Moreover, even after becoming a strong person, you can still conduct research; the two are not mutually exclusive!"

"But if you focus on scientific research now and miss the best time to lay a foundation, your talent will be wasted!"

Liu Ting remained unmoved, and even yawned: "Uncle, I understand your feelings and I know you mean well, but I will walk my own path."

"Besides, the High Energy Research Institute will not agree to let me go."

A score of 749 on the National College Entrance Examination (NCEE) is unprecedented in China since the Great Rebirth of the Nation; scores above 700 are rare.

The scientific community has been suffering from a severe talent shortage for far too long. Now that they've finally encountered a genius willing to engage in scientific research, they're not about to let him go.

Han Lie was both anxious and helpless looking at Liu Ting's stubborn attitude.

Although he was powerful, he couldn't just kidnap someone, could he? Besides, this girl had a powerful background, so he didn't dare to act recklessly.

He gritted his teeth and said to Wu Tong, "Let's postpone the assessment for now." Then he pulled Wu Tong to a corner and whispered, "Old Wu, keep an eye on her for me. Don't let her leave. I'm going to make a phone call."

As he spoke, he took out his phone, found a number, and dialed it.

Seeing his expression, Wu Tong sighed, "She's here to take the exam, she's not leaving. But Captain, why are you doing this? The girl herself said she wants to do scientific research..."

"You're not a psychic, you don't understand her concept!" Han Lie glared at him irritably.

"This kind of talent is rare, maybe only one in decades! If we just let her sit on the sidelines in a lab, it would be a loss for all of humanity!"

The call connected, and Han Lie immediately adopted a respectful tone: "Captain Qi, it's me, Han Lie. I have something urgent to report to you..."

A deep, steady male voice came from the other end of the phone: "Old Han, what's the matter that's so urgent?"

The Institute of High Energy Physics at Jiangnan University is a very prestigious institution, and its director's status is almost comparable to that of a top-ranking war god. It would obviously be extremely difficult to poach talent from the Institute of High Energy Physics.

After much deliberation, he still couldn't accept that "Liu Ting" was going to do scientific research, so he made a phone call to his superiors to come and take her away.

He himself was clearly not qualified to take "Liu Ting" as his apprentice, but it was still necessary to try his best to bring Liu Ting to his side.

This was not only for the purpose of expanding their own power, but also to avoid wasting Liu Ting's terrifying talent.

Han Lie's previous team has disbanded, and he has now joined a God of War-level team. The team leader is named Qi Huai, a high-level God of War. He is currently on the phone with Qi Huai.

"Captain Qi, I was observing the preliminary martial arts assessment at the Extreme Sports Hall in Yangzhou City today and discovered a promising talent who has naturally awakened spiritual power!"

"It wasn't awakened after cultivating genetic energy; it was a pure innate awakening! I just confirmed it myself, there's absolutely no mistake! She saw through my mental shield at a glance, but she has never cultivated genetic energy!"

There was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone, then Qi Huai's voice became noticeably more serious: "Are you telling the truth?"

"Absolutely true! I swear on my life!"

"What's that promising youngster's name? What's his background?"

"Her name is Liu Ting, the daughter of Liu Wentao from Yangzhou Chengfei Industrial Group. She just graduated from high school this year."

"But this girl scored 749 on the college entrance exam and has already been reserved by the Institute of High Energy Physics at Jiangnan University to do scientific research. I just tried to take her on as a student, but she completely ignored me!"

Han Lie spoke very quickly, recounting the whole story, and finally added, "Captain Qi, a mentalist with innate awakening, has unlimited potential if properly nurtured!"

There was silence on the other end of the phone again, this time for even longer.

After a long silence, Qi Huai's voice rang out: "I understand. Don't act rashly. I'll contact the teacher."

Upon hearing a college entrance exam score of 749, Qi Huai lost confidence in recruiting students from the High Energy Research Institute and could only continue to recruit from higher levels.

After hanging up the phone, Qi Huai immediately dialed another number, Deng Qiaosong, a councilor of the War God Palace and also his teacher.

Deng Qiaosong is one of the four major councilors of the Chinese government. He is powerful and holds a high position. If he is willing to step forward and ask the High Energy Research Institute for people, it will be a sure thing.

Moreover, the intervention of a councilor would likely be enough to sway the young girl "Liu Ting" and change her mind, leading her to join the martial arts community.

Deng Qiaosong was reviewing documents in his office when his phone rang. He glanced at the caller ID and answered, "Qi Huai, what's up?"

Qi Huai recounted Han Lie's report in extremely concise language.

After listening, Deng Qiaosong remained silent for a moment, his tone still calm, but Qi Huai could detect a slight ripple in his voice: "A spiritual master with innate awakening... I've never heard of such a thing before."

“749 points…” Deng Qiaosong repeated the number softly, a hint of a smile in his voice, “He is indeed a promising talent who excels in both academics and martial arts.”

"Alright, I'll handle this. You all stay out of it. Let her focus on completing the preliminary martial artist assessment first, and don't scare the young girl."

"Yes, teacher!" Qi Huai replied immediately.

After learning from Qi Huai that Deng Qiaosong had personally intervened, Han Lie felt much more at ease.

In his view, with Congressman Deng Qiaosong personally taking action, getting someone from the Institute of High Energy Physics is a sure thing.

Unable to contain his joy, he walked up to Wu Tong and patted his old partner on the shoulder:

"Old Wu, sorry to have kept you waiting. The assessment can begin now. However, Liu Ting is a promising talent, and the higher-ups have already taken notice of her, so don't do anything unnecessary."

Wu Tong rolled his eyes, didn't reply, but simply walked to the center of the hall and cleared his throat:

"Dear candidates, the preliminary martial arts assessment is now beginning. Those whose names are called, please come forward in turn."

The assessment has officially begun.

Chapter 221 Brother, I'm sorry, I want to steal it too!

Nine people participated in this preliminary martial arts assessment, and their performances were generally mediocre. Only Luo Feng stood out, with his punching power, speed, and reflexes exceeding the preliminary martial arts standard by a considerable margin. He was not far from reaching the intermediate warrior level.

In particular, his nerve reflex speed test achieved an excellent rating; he was only hit 3 times in 60 seconds, a level that many seasoned intermediate warriors cannot reach.

Jiang Nian, the head of the Yi'an District Extreme Martial Arts Academy, was overjoyed. Luo Feng was from Yi'an District, and as his instructor, he had brought out such a genius. Not only was he proud, but he was also sure to receive a reward from above. In short, he was very happy.

Wu Tong saw this and nodded secretly.

This young man named Luo Feng has a very solid foundation. Although he has not yet cultivated genetic energy, his physical qualities and movement techniques are among the best of his peers.

"Not bad, not bad!" Wu Tong nodded approvingly, raising his opinion of the young man even higher.

Finally, it was the last candidate's turn—"Liu Ting".

Liu Ting first stretched out a big yawn, revealing her beautiful curves, before slowly walking to the punching power tester.

She casually flexed her wrist, then threw a punch.

boom!

The numbers on the tester jumped rapidly, eventually settling on "3342kg".
