Volume 1 Chapter 4: Luo Feng’s skill
After dinner, Luo Feng’s mom and dad brought Luo Hua to walk outside while Luo Feng went to tutor .
Around 6 PM, the sky was already about to become completely dark .
“This tutoring job will have to be on hold soon . ” Luo Feng was like a leopard, flexibly moving through the alleys . There was a dead end in front, but Luo Feng’s entire body flew in the air . He jumped over two meters high, lightly tapping the top of the wall with his left hand, and fell into the next alley .
Sprinting was his warm up before tutoring .
At this time, Luo Feng’s speed was 15 meters per second, or 54 km/hour, which wasn’t even his top speed . However, it was able to serve its purpose as warm up .
[Light panting]
“One more month until exams, and then I will be able to put tutoring on hold . I earned twenty thousand dollars during this half year of tutoring . ” Having the title of ‘Elite’, it was easy for him to find a tutoring job, teaching someone the basics .
The salary was 100 dollars per hour .
For five days a week, he taught for one hour a day . In other words, his monthly salary would be around 2000 dollars .
“Dad works hard all day and only earns around 2-3 thousand dollars a month . I just tutor for an hour and earn so much more than him… This is the difference between a normal person and someone with a title! If I am able to become a ‘Fighter’, then the difference would be shocking!” Luo Feng looked ahead of him and saw a cargo truck blocking the road .
However, Luo Feng didn’t slow down at all . He suddenly jumped up to a height of 2-3 meters high and then ran two steps on the side of the wall . He then dropped back down and continued running forwards .
After that──
Luo Feng has already ran to the outer part of a quiet residential area .
“Here is where Mom and Dad should be living . ” Luo Feng stopped and eyed the area in front of him . The density of the homes in the area was lower and there were man-made pools . There were tons of foliage and every floor of each building had its own garden, even the higher floors .
Other than the tall residential homes, there were also villas .
Know that──
As of now, there are a total of six major bases in China, which are the six major cities . Each city has an astonishingly large population . For example, Jiang-Nan city’s population is nearly 200 million . Naturally, there is very little land . Things like villas are very rare and expensive . The large mansions that take up even more space cost an enormous amount of money .

“I’m going to #1801 of the 18th building” said Luo Feng to the guardsman outside the area .
“Wait a moment” The guardsman pressed a video-telephone number and shot the camera at Luo Feng . A voice from the video-telephone said, “It’s Feng, let him in”
“Alright sir” The guardsman let him in .
……
One hour later, Feng walked out the area .
“Yup, done with tutoring . Now I’ll go to the dojo and see if there has been any increase in my strength . ”
※※※※※※
The ‘Dojo of Limits’, the largest dojo on earth created by the strongest fighter ‘Hong’ .
There are dojos scattered all around the world .
[Di]
Luo Feng entered the dojo after scanning his student identification card at the door .
One ‘Dojo of Limits’ is like an entrenched gigantic monster: the area it covers is even larger than a high school . The main gate of the dojo is big enough to let ten cars in . Inside the dojo, there were three large silver-white structures with an airship-like style .
“Brother!*”
*This brother is one used in respect, not blood related . All the “brothers” for the rest of the chapter will be like this too .
“Greetings Brother”
On the lawn of the interior of the Dojo were large amounts of dojo members . These members saw Luo Feng’s ‘Elite’ identification on his chest and respected him .
Inside the dojo, the three structures were separated by level: one for the beginner members, one for the intermediate members, and one for the elite members .
The elite member building’s first and second floors are large teaching halls, large enough to hold a few thousand people . The teachers of the dojo taught in this hall . There were around 30-40 thousand members of this particular dojo .
You can only become a member of the dojo starting from the age of 16 . After the age of 30, you are prohibited from coming back to the dojo, since you will be wasting valuable teaching resources .
There were a couple hundred ‘elite’ students, most being around 20 years old .
However, Luo Feng was only 18 .
“Greetings Brother”
Luo Feng walked along as he heard people greet him . He entered the third floor of the elite building, which only elite members could enter .
The third floor was a couple hundred meters long and wide; a large training center . At this time, there were a couple dozen people .
“Crazy*”
*Not the “mad” kind of crazy . This is just a nickname incorporating the Feng of Luo Feng (crazy = Feng Zi)

“Hey, come Crazy . ”
As he entered the large training center, all of the ‘elite’ members warmly greeted him .
“Brother Wang, Brother Yang, Sister Li” Luo Feng happily shouted back . As he looked at these people, his heart warmed . These few dozen people were all over 20 years of age . Of course, the elite members of the ‘Dojo of Limits’ of Zhi An section weren’t just these people . In total, there were over a hundred of them, but most of them were too lazy to come since there isn’t a teacher to teach .
The only people who would come to the training center are those who are poor and without anywhere else to train .
The rich people all have their own individual training center .
So──
Almost all of these people live in cheap rental homes . Since they are all categorized as poor people, they naturally formed a clique . Luo Feng’s nickname of ‘Crazy’ came from the time when he consecutively challenged and defeated three rich elite members out of anger .
“I wonder how much my strength improved from the last half month of training . ”
Luo Feng walked towards the ‘Fist Strength Tester Machine’ at the corner of the training hall, where there were two of them side by side . Whether you were a beginner, intermediate, or an elite member, you had to test the strength of your punch . Even the test to become a ‘Fighter’ has strength* tests .
*All strength tests refer to fist strength .
Luo Feng took in a deep breath and completely relaxed his body . Suddenly, his gaze concentrated . His body tensed, like a lazy lion getting ready for action . His spine tensed like a bow string . His feet supported his waist, which strengthened Luo Feng’s right fist . His punch was like a cannonball, shooting across an arc──
[DA]
Luo Feng’s fist smashed against the machine .
The machine shook violently .
Soon enough, a number appeared on the machine’s screen── “809 kg”
“Not bad, crazy . Got past the 800 kg milestone” A man with a height taller than 1 . 9 meters who was a bit lean yet buff laughed and clapped . This buff man had a savage scar on his face .
“Brother Yang” Luo Feng laughed, “when compared to you, this is nothing . Brother Yang, could you help me turn on the ‘Speed Tester Machine’?”
“Brother Yang, named Yang Wu, is currently ranked top three within the elite members in the ‘Dojo of Limits’ . If it wasn’t for his speed, he would’ve cleared the ‘Fighter Preliminary Exams’ a long time ago .
For an elite member to become a fighter .
He has to pass two exams──
The first exam is the ‘Fighter Fitness’ exam, or the Prospective Fighter exam . Once you pass that, you have proved that your fitness level has reached the standard of a ‘fighter’ . At this time, you have become a ‘Prospective Fighter’ .
The second exam is a ‘Fighter Combat’ exam .
Just having the body fitness doesn’t grant you the privilege of becoming a fighter . Only by defeating an actual monster in an actual fight will you be able to achieve the title of ‘Fighter’ .
“Testing speed? Alright . ” Yang Wu laughed as he walked towards the machine and turned it on .
[KA]
The machine turned on and lighted up .
Luo Feng adjusted his breathing and stood on the track, which was 60 meters long . Close to the speed testing machine was a speed testing region .
Luo Feng exploded forwards!
[WHOOSH]
In a blink of an eye, Luo Feng has accelerated to his maximum speed . His feet pedaled with strength, increasing his sprinting power . His body was like an arrow leaving a bow and flying across the runway, bringing along with him a gust of wind . Luo Feng flew past the speed testing region . After that, he naturally slowed down and stopped .
“How fast?” Luo Feng laughed as he walked towards the machine .
“Heh, crazy, looks like you improved a bit since last time . Not bad, not bad” Brother Yang, with a face of astonishment, looked at the number displayed on the speed testing machine, “Come look for yourself”
Luo Feng looked over to the machine and the number displayed was── “23 . 8 m/s”
“Not bad”
Luo feng wasn’t that happy though, since there were three parts to the Fighter Fitness exam, or the ‘Prospective Fighter’ exam: Strength, speed, and reaction speed . For reaction speed, Luo Feng was naturally gifted and has barely reached the level that a fighter requires .
However──
In the prospective fighter exam, the passing mark for strength is ── 900 kg!
For speed, the passing mark is── 25 m/s! Or 100 meters every 4 seconds .

Godfather Of Champions
This is a story about the pursuit of victory.— «I subscribe only to the theory of victory. I only pursue victory. As long as I am able to obtain victory, I don’t care if it’s total football or counterattack. What is the ultimate goal of professional soccer? In my opinion, it is victory, and the pinnacle of victory is to become the champions. I am a manager. If I don’t wish to lose my job or be forgotten by the people, there’s only one path for me to take, and that is to lead the team in obtaining victories, in obtaining championship titles!»The main character was not well-liked by people.— «⋯We conducted a survey which had been deemed by Manager Tony Twain as extremely meaningless. In a random street survey conducted, ninety-three percent of those surveyed chose the option ‘I hate Tony Twain’, while only seven percent chose the option ‘This person is rather decent, I like him’. It is worth noting that nobody chose the option ‘Who is Tony Twain? I don’t know him’. Mark, do you know why Manager Twain felt that our survey was very meaningless?» Parker, a reporter from laughed loudly and said when he was being interviewed by BBC.But there were also people who were madly in love with him.— When Tony Twain was forced to talk about the survey conducted by during an interview, his reply was : «I am happy, because Nottingham Forest’s fans make up seven percent of England’s population.»And he did not seem to care about how the others saw him.— «What are you all trying to make me say? Admit that I am not popular, and everywhere I go will be filled with jeers and middle fingers. You all think I will be afraid? Wrong! Because I am able to bring victory to my team and its supporters. I don’t care how many people hate me and can’t wait to kill me, and I also won’t change myself to accommodate the mood of these losers. You want to improve your mood? Very simple, come and defeat me.»His love story had garnered widespread attention.— «Our reporters took these pictures at Manager Tony Twain’s doorsteps. It clearly shows that Shania entered his house at 8.34pm and she did not leave the house throughout the night at all. But Manager Tony Twain firmly denies, and insists that that was merely the newest-model inflatable doll which he had ordered.He was the number one star of the team.— «⋯ Became the spokesperson of world-wide famous clothing brands, shot advertisements, frequented the fashion industry’s award ceremonies, endorsed electronic games, has a supermodel girlfriend. His earnings from advertisements exceed his club salary by seventeen times, owns a special column in various print medias, publishing his autobiography (in progress), and is even said that he is planning to shoot an inspirational film based off his own person experiences! Who can tell me which part of his life experiences is worthy of being called ‘inspirational’? Hold on⋯. Are you all thinking that I’m referring to David Beckham? You’re sorely mistaken! I’m talking about Manager Tony Twain⋯.»He was very knowledgeable about Chinese soccer.— «⋯ I’ve heard about it, that Bora gifted four books to his manager Mr. Zhu before your country’s national team’s warm up match. After which, the team lost 1:3 to a nameless American team from Major League Soccer. The new excuse that Mr. Zhu gave for losing the match, was that Bora gifted «books» (‘books’ and ‘lose’ are homophones in the Chinese language). Here, I recommend that you guys find out what that one specific book is. Which book? Of course the one that caused you all to score a goal. After that, tell me the title of the book. Before every match, I will gift ten copies of that same book to you. In that case, won’t you all be able to get a triumphant 10:0 win over your opponents every time?» An excerpt taken from Tony Twain’s special column in a certain famous Chinese sports newspaper.He was loved and hated by the press.— «He has a special column in at least four renowned print media, and he is able to get a considerable amount of remuneration just by scolding people or writing a few hundred words of nonsense weekly. While we have to contemplate hard about our drafts for three days before our boss is pleased with it. In an article inside his special column, he scolded and called all of the media ‘son of a bitch’, announcing that he hated the media the most. But every time he publishes an article, we flock towards him like flies which had spotted butter. Why? Because the readers like to read his news and see him scold people. I dare to bet with you, and Manager Tony Twain knows clearly in his heart as well, that even though he says that he hates us, he knows that the present him cannot do without us. Similarly, we also cannot do without him. Is this ultimately considered a good or a bad thing?» Bruce Pearce, a reporter from said with a face of helplessness when talking about Tony Twain.But no matter the case, his players were his most loyal believers.— Gareth Bale, «No no, we never had any pressure when playing on our home grounds. Because the pressure is all on the manager. As long as we see him standing by the side of the field, all of us will feel that we will be able to win that match. Even the football hooligans are like meek lambs in front of him!» (After saying this, he began to laugh out loudly)The reply from George Wood, the team captain of Nottingham Forest, was the most straightforward. «We follow him because he can bring us victory.»The legendary experience of Tony Twain, the richest, most successful, most controversial manager with the most unique personality!Debuting this summer.Thank you for reading.

The Fall of The Gods
Synopsis: In the year 1966, an army of Orishas led by Sango stormed Amadioha’s palace and razed it the ground, starting a decades-long war between two of Nigeria’s most powerful divine orders. Blinded by the rage of battle, the gods did not detect the rise of a third power, far greater and deadlier than anything they could have imagined. When gods, on both the Yoruba and Igbo sides, begin falling mysteriously to their death, Sango seeks the help of Odion, a Lagos teenager destined to rise from his dark past to become a hero. But can a human hero save the gods from a doomed fate? The Fall of the Gods is an action-packed YA fantasy based on the mythical bond that ties human life with the realm of the divine. It demonstrates the power of stories to change our lives. It also reminds us that Sango and Amadioha are not relics of the past and that, sometimes, what it means to be a hero in today’s world is knowing how to find inspiration in the stories of the gods. PLEASE NOTE: Weekly chapters will be released every friday along with interludes once in a while about Nigerian mythology. I'm a young 17 year old writer and I am new to the site so I will appreciate your comments and reviews. Thank you very much.
