The End of an Era
When Lin Yan was still Warrior Level and his Mental Power had not yet awakened, Jia Yi granted him the right to receive the Grade 9 Flying Daggers.
Now that his Mental Power has reached the War God level, there is naturally no need for him to use this thing anymore. So Lin Yan only used it temporarily, and Jia Yi had someone send SS-rank flying knife to his house.
He didn't retrieve the throwing knives he had thrown earlier; he simply put them in his backpack.
When he saw Luo Feng studying sword techniques, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
His swordsmanship had already crossed the Intent level before. The characteristics of swordsmanship are the way Conception is manifested. He thought he had a deep understanding of this before, but today he realized that his understanding was still superficial.
Now he can truly be called a master and has touched the threshold of Unity of Heaven and Man, but he still needs more accumulation and is far from enough.
But the path is already there, so things become much simpler afterward.
So, to express his gratitude for this opportunity, he gave all of his previous Grade 9 Flying Daggers to Luo Feng.
This is exactly what Luo Feng needs right now. Ten Grade 9 Flying Daggers would cost around 450 million after discounts, which Luo Feng can't afford with his current net worth.
It's always a win-win situation to build this positive connection.
The fighter jets landed at the airport in Hongning Base City. Hongning Base City is entirely under the control of the Limit Martial Hall, so they need to be taken care of by them.
There were also people waiting at the headquarters of the Limit Martial Hall.
"Oh, so it's you Chen Hang, who came to see them off in person this time?"
The person arranged by the Limit Martial Hall to pick them up at the airport was Yang Hui, a mid-level War God. He had dealt with Chen Hang before, and he was quite surprised that the Military cadets would be personally escorted by this leader of the Huashan Team Three using the "Ying Long" fighter jet.
Chen Hang smiled and said, "Yang Hui, it's been a long time since we last met."
"It's been more than three years, I think," Yang Hui replied, then looked at Lin Yan: "Lin Yan, I am a teacher in the Elite Training Camp, my name is Yang Hui."
He had looked at the Military cadet's file before he came. He was 21 years old and High-level General. Although he was not bad, he was not outstanding. In the Elite Training Camp, he was just an average person.
However, seeing that it was delivered by Chen Hang personally, they still felt that it was not as simple as it seemed, and couldn't help but look at him with higher regard.
"Hello, Teacher Yang."
Yang Hui nodded. "Alright, let's get in the car and head to the Training Camp."
"Chen Hang, what about you?"
Chen Hang, "I won't go. You take him. I'll go find some friends."
He can't even get into the Training Camp, so why should he join in the fun? Besides, he's seen enough of Lin Yan's abilities, so there's nothing to worry about.
Yang Hui shook his head and laughed, "You, putting everything else aside, you really have a lot of friends."
Lin Yan also noticed this. This Team Leader Chen really has a wide circle of friends and is very good at making friends. He and Lu Gang were strangers yesterday, but they felt like they had become close friends after only a short time.
It must be said that this ability is also very powerful. In the process of the country resisting the beast tide, especially the beast tide of level one or above, when Lord-level monster are causing trouble, the Military's own ability alone is not enough to hold the line, and it is necessary to ask for the assistance of others.
Chen Hang is naturally the best person to do this.
Lin Yan followed Yang Hui into a stretched Cadillac.
Looking at the car logo, Lin Yan felt like he wasn't heading to Training Camp, but rather to a bathhouse...
Yang Hui noticed his unusual behavior and asked, "What's wrong?"
Lin Yan smiled and said, "It's nothing, it's just that it's my first time in Hongning Base City, and it feels quite novel."
Limit Martial Hall truly lives up to its reputation as the world's number one power. Hongning Base City, as the Global Headquarters of the Limit Martial Hall, boasts a level of prosperity that cannot be seen even in Capital.
The city feels peaceful and tranquil, refined and dignified, with an overall architectural style that leans towards the ancient style, featuring pavilions, towers, carved railings, and painted pillars.
Hearing this, Yang Hui said with pride, "You will be living here for five more years. You can take your time to see and experience the local customs and culture of our Hongning Base City."
This is his pride as a member of the Limit Martial Hall, and as a member of Hongning.
Lin Yan smiled, not feeling offended at all. Looking at the scene outside, he knew clearly who was responsible for bringing this city to its current state.
Flood.
This was also Jia Yi and his companions earnestly hoped for, and what their ultimate goal was in growing up.
The strongest man in the world.
The vehicle arrived at the Training Camp quickly.
"We've arrived."
Yang Hui gave an explanation, and then the two got out of the car. Passing through the spacious Training Camp gate, they immediately saw a giant Black Dragon sculpture, nearly fifty meters tall. Its huge dragon eyes still retained the power it had in life, and an endless dark aura pressed down on them.
Yang Hui made a point of observing the new student's reaction. He had led many students through this door, and they all lost their composure and were frightened by the dragon carving.
These dragon eyes were taken from a King-level Black Dragon monster that Yu Hong personally killed. This Black Dragon was born from a volcano and was extremely precious. These dragon eyes alone were worth over 10 billion.
However, Lin Yan stared directly into those dragon eyes without any reaction, and the smile on his face did not waver at all.
He turned his head and asked Yang Hui, "Is the information on these Black Dragon Scale the rankings of the Training Camp members?"
A strange light shone in Yang Hui's eyes, something he had never seen before. Even King level monster hadn't lost its composure; it seemed this Military cadet was quite extraordinary.
However, being extraordinary is also a good thing. The Training Camp brings together the most talented people in the world and doesn't need ordinary people who are just there to fill the ranks.
"Yes, the Elite Training Camp has a total of 179 students so far. The ranking on these Black Dragon Scale is based on their combat power points from high to low. Your name will also be on it after you enter. The ranking will affect the resources you can obtain in the Training Camp."
"The competition in the Training Camp is very intense, and the rankings fluctuate frequently. This serves as a reminder to the trainees. Our Elite Training Camp is a place for you to learn and grow, not a place for playing and having fun. If you slow down, other geniuses will catch up with you and enjoy the benefits you originally received."
Embedded on the Black Dragon Scale are small display screens, each displaying a name.
NO.1 Renatus Bridge (530321)
NO.2 Brown Kane (530724)
NO.3 Chu Qiang (540601)
NO.179 Eddie Bruno (561117)
As he took in each name, Lin Yan smiled and said, "Very fair."
Yang Hui led him forward. Perhaps due to Hong's personal aesthetic preferences, Hongning Base City was full of ancient buildings, and the Training Camp was no exception. It resembled an ancient Palace Cluster, with small bridges, flowing water, green tiles, and red eaves, making it a magnificent sight.
Yang Hui pointed to a nine-story giant tower in the center of the Training Camp. Although it was only nine stories high, it was taller than a typical twenty-story building. Many young people wearing loose training clothes were going in and out of the building.
"That is the 'Nine-Layered Tower,' where all the students study and train. Some special training rooms are also located in this Nine-Layered Tower."
Lin Yan's eyes lit up; he was very interested in the Gravity Room and virtual space host discovered in the Ancient Civilization Ruins.
However, Yang Hui was only responsible for picking him up and helping him with the formalities; he did not take him to see the core competitiveness of these two Training Camp.
"Your admission was secured by the Military. In general, most of our students have to pass the Trial Tower test, but the test level will be adjusted according to the specific circumstances."
"At the current time, the Trial Room should be in use by some students, so I won't take you to see it for now. Let's go and finish the formalities first."
Lin Yan nodded.
"You're from the Military, so there are some things I don't need to tell you. But since I'm also a teacher at the Training Camp, I have to say something: here, everything else is secondary."
"The most important thing is your ability! Strive for a higher ranking, obtain better resources, and then grow stronger."
"The Elite Training Camp is a great opportunity for every participant. After graduation, you will face even greater challenges and more ferocious monsters. No one will give you five years to wait for your growth, to learn, and to mature. So you must seize the opportunity in your hands."
"Every student here is expected to become a war god, and not just a war god."
"Many students in this Elite Training Camp possess the strength of a War God, yet they do not strive to obtain the title of War God. It can be said that the top thirty students are all in this situation."
"Why don't they leave? Because the resources and conditions of the Training Camp are something you won't find anywhere else after graduation. Where else can you find Gravity Room and Trial Tower?"
"Why does the Training Camp allow this situation to occur? Because this is home to the world's top geniuses. They could become war gods if they were trained elsewhere. Here, however, being a war god is just the most basic standard for you. But with such resources, you should naturally strive to be even better."
"Only in this way can you grow up to be able to shoulder the fate of the world and the fate of mankind."
Yang Hui spoke earnestly.
He had been a teacher at the Training Camp for several years and had seen many trainees die or be eliminated in the life-or-death adventure in August. Even though the trainees were highly skilled, there was still a mortality and elimination rate of nearly 10%.
Why?
Because they cannot be hothouse flowers; they must endure trials and tribulations, because the dangers they will face in the future far surpass the life-or-death adventures of Elite Training Camp.
We must cherish the present moment, learn, grow, and mature, so that they can have a future, and so can humanity.
Lin Yan said, "Thank you for your teachings, teacher. I will keep them in mind."
From the moment he arrived in this world, all he saw was war and sacrifice. As he journeyed through it all, he knew exactly what he truly wanted.
Seeing that he had really listened, Yang Hui felt a little better and said, "You still need to choose your own code name. Today is November 30th, and your official joining date is December 1st. The first four digits of your code name must be 5612, which is the date, because you are the only one who uses this prefix. You can choose any of the last two digits."
"31, 561231".
This marks the end of 2056.
Turning the page, Lin Yan believed, would mark the beginning of his era.
Yang Hui nodded. "Okay, once your procedures are completed, your name and code will appear on the dragon scales Black Dragon Sculpture, 180 characters."
Yang Hui then led him to a cluster of buildings, pointing to one of the gardens. "That's Yang Hui Tianjing Pavilion. Before, there was only Chu Qiang here, but now you're here too."
"Chu Qiang?"
Yang Hui exclaimed, "Yes, it's Chu Qiang, who ranks third on the Black Dragon Scale. Even I might not be his match."
He was already a mid-level War God, yet he still said such things.
Lin Yan couldn't help but feel curious.
They arrived at the Tianjing Pavilion, which had three pavilions. In the garden stood a large camphor tree, under which stood a tall young man with a face as if carved by an axe.
He saw Yang Hui and Lin Yan arrive, his eyes dark and deep.
"Hello, Teacher Yang."
He smiled and addressed Yang Hui, then turned his gaze to Lin Yan.
"You're Lin Yan?"
