"Squeak!"

With a slight metallic scraping sound, the Alloy Gate of the Simulated Training Room slid open silently to both sides.

Chen Fan walked out slowly.

His aura had been completely concealed.

From the outside, he looks almost no different from an ordinary ten-year-old child.

Only those amber eyes, under the dim light of the corridor, appeared even more profound, as if they truly contained a vast and boundless starry sky; if one gazed at them for too long, one's soul could be drawn deep into them.

Gu Ci was already waiting outside.

He leaned against the cold wall, his arms crossed over his chest.

But the moment Chen Fan appeared, a hint of satisfaction and appreciation flickered imperceptibly deep within his usually calm eyes.

"Good."

Gu Ci straightened up, his voice clear and cold, "To be able to conceal your aura so perfectly right after breaking through, it seems the past month or so has not been in vain."

As soon as he finished speaking, he flicked his wrist and casually tossed over Personal Computer as thin as a cicada's wing, shimmering with a soft glow.

Chen Fan raised his hand and caught it steadily. The Optical Brain felt cool to the touch and had an excellent texture, clearly a military-grade product.

He waved the new toy in his hand with some curiosity and asked, "Old Gu, what's this?"

A rare, ambiguous smile appeared on Gu Ci's lips, a smile tinged with amusement.

"It's nothing, the Federation College Entrance Examination just finished this year."

"While you were in seclusion, those guys outside haven't been idle at all."

Federation College Entrance Examination.

These four words seemed to possess some kind of magic, causing Chen Fan to pause slightly.

He lightly tapped the screen of the Optical Brain with his fingertip, and the soft Light Screen instantly unfolded, revealing rows of dazzling names and information that appeared like a waterfall.

That group comprised the most outstanding Prodigies from among hundreds of millions of candidates across the Three Great Star Domains of the Federation!

Behind each name lies a legend that is worthy of admiration by ordinary people.

Chen Fan's gaze swept rapidly across the Light Screen, his eyes calm.

His gaze finally settled on the third position on the leaderboard.

[Third place on the Federation's overall ranking: Xiao Beixuan]

[Final Assessment: Early Golden Body Realm]

[Admitted Institution: Star River Martial Academy]

[Overall Combat Strength Rating: S]

Chen Fan's expression remained unchanged, but his fingers, which were flipping through the documents, paused almost imperceptibly for a moment.

Xiao Beixuan.

The older brother of Xiao Nanfeng, whom he killed with a single punch on the Greedy Wolf Star.

He is also the most outstanding Qilin Prodigy of the Xiao Family in this generation.

Gu Ci keenly noticed this subtle detail. He walked over slowly, stretched out his finger, and ran it over the top ten names on the Light Screen one by one. His voice became exceptionally serious, with no trace of jest.

"Did you see that?"

"The weakest of the top ten in the Federation College Entrance Examination rankings is a prodigy who has just entered the Golden Body Realm."

"Perfection of the Organ Refining Realm? Can't even make it into the top 100."

Gu Ci's gaze was sharp as a knife, staring directly into Chen Fan's deep eyes, and he said, word by word:

"Next year, you'll be eleven years old, and according to my plan for you, you'll also be taking the college entrance exam."

You only have one year left.

"Within a year, you must break through from the Organ Refining Realm to the Golden Body Realm! Only then will you be qualified to challenge for the top ten, only then will you be qualified to truly trample the Xiao Family and the Yang Family under your feet!"

The Martial Dao Nine Realms, each realm representing a different level of power.

From Organ Refining to Bone Tempering, and then to Golden Body, this is the first true insurmountable barrier on the path of Martial Dao!

Prodigies are stuck at the Perfection of the Organ Refining Realm, unable to condense Golden Body throughout their lives, and ultimately fade into obscurity.

In one year, they covered a distance that others might not be able to cover in ten or even decades.

Faced with such a request, Chen Fan's face showed no seriousness, nor any fear or hesitation.

On the contrary, he revealed an incredibly bright smile, and that unique youthful mischievousness and arrogance quietly emerged at that moment, dispelling all the repression.

"Break through to the Golden Body within a year?"

He tilted his head, his amber eyes sparkling with excitement.

"That sounds... a bit challenging."

"Puff!"

Gu Ci was amused by his nonchalant attitude, but what she felt most was an indescribable sense of satisfaction and pride.

This is truly Gu Ci's student!

Even if the sky were to fall, you'd only wish it had fallen fast enough!

He snorted coldly, forcibly suppressing the smile on his lips, "Don't be too happy yet. From Organ Refining to the Golden Body, you need to Bone Refinement all 206 bones in your body, turning them into gold and jade. The difficulty far exceeds all your previous breakthroughs. The slightest carelessness will result in your bones being destroyed and you dying."

"But..."

Gu Ci abruptly changed the subject, a strange light flashing in his eyes, "Your path is inherently extraordinary. Your White Jade Bones are a foundation rarely seen throughout the ages. The Bone Tempering methods of ordinary people are nothing more than children's play for you."

Upon hearing this, Chen Fan's eyes lit up, and he immediately seized the opportunity.

He leaned closer to Gu Ci, a sly smile on his face, and asked, "Old Gu, since it's so difficult, you must have already figured out how to get out of here, right?"

"I can't just sit here in this Training Camp and train for a whole year, can I?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Ci finally stopped hiding his true feelings and instead revealed a mysterious smile.

"The Nine Realms of Martial Dao: Quasi-Martial Artist, Organ Refining, and Bone Tempering. These are the Three Realms of Martial Dao, also the foundational realms."

Gu Ci changed the subject, explaining in a low voice, "Both Organ Refining and Bone Tempering require specific cultivation techniques. The quality of the technique directly determines the degree of Bone Refinement of your internal organs, the toughness of your two hundred and six bones, and even your future potential."

"Ordinary cultivation techniques, even those at the Heaven-Rank Technique, are not only useless to you, but are actually a deadly poison that destroys your foundation." Gu Ci's gaze was sharp as a hawk's, fixed on Chen Fan. "Your White Jade Bones, your Five-Element Internal Cycle forged from the Origin Source the Nine Martial Gods, are unprecedented. Any cultivation technique that attempts to forcibly alter its operating mode is like cutting into jade; it will only damage it."

Upon hearing this, Chen Fan's excitement subsided slightly, replaced by a look of understanding.

He understood.

It's like you've already built the most sophisticated interstellar engine, but you're trying to upgrade it using tractor blueprints—the result will only be disaster.

"What should we do then?" Chen Fan shrugged.

"Come with me."

Gu Ci didn't say anything more, and turned to walk deeper into the Training Camp.

After passing through numerous checkpoints, the two finally arrived at an underground fortress entirely constructed of an unknown black Alloy.

The fortress's surface is engraved with dense energy array patterns, radiating a chilling pressure. Just standing here, one can feel a profound sense of historical weight.

This is the most crucial and secret location of the Blue Star Training Camp — the Technique Repository!
