That's Awesome!
Um?
Lin Yan looked at him and asked, "Who is Chu Wei to you?"
A person from Tianjing, surnamed Chu, who was able to secure a spot in the Elite Training Camp, is easily associated with the Chu family, Four Great Families of Tianjing, along with the Wang Family Chu Family.
The fact that Chu Qiang was able to call him by name as soon as he arrived at the Training Camp is probably inseparable from Chu Wei's influence.
Chu Qiang smiled and said, "He is my cousin."
Lin Yan also smiled and said, "He is my brother, a brother I've been through thick and thin with."
Yang Hui was somewhat surprised, not expecting that the two could still be connected.
"It's good that you two have this relationship, it saves me a lot of trouble. Chu Qiang, you'll have to take care of this new student."
"Don't worry, Teacher Yang."
"Okay, I'll be going now."
Yang Hui smiled, then turned and left.
Chu Qiang said, "My cousin has been praising you to the skies. I really want to see if you're as good as he says during the Training Camp."
Lin Yan thought of that second-generation martial arts student who said he was ready to rise to prominence with his entire family. He was quite considerate and had informed his cousin in advance that he was going to the Elite Training Camp.
Lin Yan stepped forward to defend him, saying, "Actually, Chu Wei isn't much of a braggart. I think you might have misunderstood him, Senior Brother Chu. He's just telling the truth."
Chu Qiang was taken aback.
Are you speaking up for him?
You're just bragging! You're despicable! tui—
Chu Qiang laughed and said, "You can't go back on your word. Our Training Camp has a points ranking system, and the points are reset every month. Resources are allocated based on the points. Then I'll know whether it's true or not."
"Since you're new here, there are some things that Teacher Yang won't explain to you in detail, so I'll explain them to you instead."
"These points are calculated by multiplying 'Battle Record Points' by 'Combat Power Amplitude'. The period from the 1st to the 28th of each month is the time to earn points. The results are tallied on the 29th, and the final results are announced."
"Battle Record Points are earned by hunting monsters, while Combat Power Amplitude is calculated by multiplying 'Punch Power Level' by 'Trial Tower Level'."
"You can find the specific details on the laptop provided to you by the Training Camp in your room. There is a 'Student Guide' document in it."
Lin Yan didn't pay much attention to these things, but asked instead, "So, does my current situation mean I won't be able to obtain usage time for the Trial Room and Gravity Room in December?"
He just arrived, the rankings for this month have already ended, and his name will remain at number 180, last place.
The Training Camp is on holiday in January and February, during which all trainees will go home.
He had no interest in coming all this way only to get this result.
He would have been better off using those three months to find other ways to improve his physical fitness.
Chu Qiang said, "Those ranked 100th and below can use the Ancient Civilization Gravity Room for 1 hour and the Trial Room for 1 hour each month."
"However, you still have five years, so there's no need to rush. Unless your Combat Power Amplitude can reach the superior level or above, the Training Camp is unlikely to make an exception for new students."
Chu Qiang shook his head inwardly as he said this.
How is it possible that the Combat Power Amplitude of the new trainees has reached the excellent level?
He's been in the Training Camp for over two years and ranked in the top three; he's incredibly talented, yet this is all he's achieved.
Combat Power Amplitude is equal to "Punch Power Level" multiplied by "Trial Tower Level".
Among them, the Combat Power Amplitude is 1-2, which is the primary level. Generally, the students who have just entered the Elite Training Camp have not yet undergone systematic learning and training, and most of them are at the primary level.
Combat Power Amplitude of 2-4 is considered medium. After a year and a half of training in the Training Camp, one can generally reach the medium level.
Combat Power Amplitude 4-8 is considered advanced; at this level, one can be considered a qualified student in Elite Training Camp.
Combat Power Amplitude of 8-16 is considered excellent, making one an outstanding student in the Training Camp. However, due to the large range, the differences are also significant, and Chu Qiang is the best among the excellent students.
Combat Power Amplitude greater than 16 is considered top-tier, also known as "super-tier." Only two such individuals have ever appeared in the Training Camp's history, and they can be described as exceptionally talented. They were respectively accepted as disciples by "Hong" and "Thunder God."
Chu Qiang gave Lin Yan a brief introduction.
"Could Senior Brother Chu take me to the Trial Tower for the test?"
Lin Yan showed no hesitation and spoke with great confidence.
Even relying solely on the ninth level of the Po Jun Sword, his Punch Power Level is already four times higher, and now, after integrating his sword techniques, it's enough to reach five times the power.
How low could the Trial Tower Level be? He had no interest in playing the low-key card here. He had already changed his age to 21 and concealed his Mental Power. If he was going to be low-key about these things, what was he doing at the Training Camp?
It's better to send them to kindergarten.
Time is very precious.
Chu Qiang asked, "Are you really confident?"
"Yes."
Judging from his expression, Chu Qiang believed him to some extent.
Curiosity also arose in my heart.
"You are a new student. Actually, you have one trial assessment opportunity that does not count towards the Trial Room usage time, but it is next month. I can contact the teacher and help you change it to this month."
"Then thank you, Senior Brother Chu."
Chu Qiang readily agreed, "Since you know Chu Wei and he's in the Military, I'll definitely help if I can."
The Military had already extended an olive branch to him, and he accepted. After he graduated, the Military would set up a separate operations department for him, and he would be the head of that department.
This fact had already spread throughout the Elite Training Camp.
Lin Yan was also aware of this; he knew the detailed information of everyone in the Military Training Camp.
They were either sent by the Military or recruited later.
After making the arrangements, Chu Qiang took him to the Nine-Layered Tower.
Ninth floor.
"Chu Qiang, are these your new students from Huaxia?" A blond, blue-eyed young man's eyes lit up when he saw them walk in.
Chu Qiang raised an eyebrow and said, "Yes, Laidi, what's the matter?"
"Looks pretty impressive." The blond youth named Laidi circled around Lin Yan and then said, "You're new here and not familiar with the environment. Do you want to come with me to the Challenge Room for a match? Our Elite Training Camp's Challenge Room is a virtual space where you can compete. You've definitely never seen anything like it outside."
Laidi chuckled inwardly; he seemed like a greenhorn who could make a little money.
Chu Qiang frowned, but didn't say anything.
Lin Yan smiled and said, "Is it necessary to place a bet?"
Laidi spoke excellent Mandarin, with a wonderfully poetic tone. "The stakes are the soul and essence of the contest. The winner gets the spoils, and the loser pays the price, which ensures the authenticity of the contest."
"But don't worry, I've only been enrolled a few months longer than you. Those senior students are too strong. I've been struggling to find a suitable opponent. The stakes don't need to be too high either, how about 100 million Huaxia coins? For people like us, earning 100 million is easy."
He seems to be very good at persuading others.
The others on the ninth floor watched the commotion from the sidelines, but no one spoke up.
"It sounds very attractive," Lin Yan said, "But one hundred million is too little; I don't even want to look at it twice."
Laidi's eyes lit up. He liked confident and wealthy newcomers the most. Although he had only been in the Training Camp for a few months, his Combat Power Amplitude had already reached 4. This kind of competition was a sure win for him.
But the new recruits in the Training Camp aren't stupid; they're unwilling to fall for anything with slightly higher stakes and can only occasionally make a little money.
He immediately said, "I can raise the bet. What do you think of a billion?"
Lin Yan shook his head.
"Never mind."
"You're too weak. This kind of opponent is worthless to me."
Laidi's smile stiffened, then turned grim.
The other students watching were also shocked. This new student was far too arrogant. He hadn't even met Laidi before, yet he said she was too weak and of no value to him.
In fact, Laidi is not weak.
He has only been in the Elite Training Camp for three months, but his Combat Power Amplitude has already reached 4, which means his talent can be described as outstanding.
Laidi said in a deep voice, "You need to apologize to me Laidi Blake, Huaxia!"
Lin Yan looked at him and pondered, "I'm just stating a simple truth. I think you can take it easy. For example, after my Trial Tower assessment is over, then you can judge whether I'm belittling you."
Seriously.
You came here trying to scam me, and I said a few words to discourage you, but you're not happy about it.
This is absolutely outrageous!
As Lin Yan's strength increased, his mentality also changed. Even if someone like Laidi offered him money, he wouldn't bother to accept it, feeling like she was bullying a child.
Once the results of the Trial Tower assessment are released, he will naturally understand how touching his good intentions were.
Chu Qiang was also a little embarrassed; his sworn brother Chu Wei was quite a character.
At this moment, a woman dressed in a purple training uniform walked over. She was tall and had a graceful figure.
"Chu Qiang, is the new student you mentioned who will be taking the Trial Tower assessment during lunch break the one you're standing next to?"
She is beautiful and looks to be in her early twenties, but she was actually born Great Nirvana period and is now 37 years old. She exudes an aura of oppression, like a sharp and ruthless knife.
"Yes, Teacher Jiang, this is Lin Yan, a new trainee at the Training Camp."
"Lin Yan, this is our Training Camp teacher, Ms. Jiang Fang."
Chu Qiang explained.
Jiang Fang nodded and said, "Then come with me."
Watching Lin Yan leave with Jiang Fang, Laidi sat there resentfully. She wanted to see if that boastful brat really had the ability!
Jiang Fang led Lin Yan to the innermost part of the ninth-floor lobby, where there was a passageway with large rooms on both sides.
Lin Yan was led to the innermost room, which was small and dimly lit, with two sofas inside.
Jiang Fang turned on the lights. "This is the Trial Room of our Training Camp. The helmet on the sofa is Consciousness Sensor that our human scientists painstakingly replicated. You can use it to enter the virtual space."
"This virtual space host was excavated from the Ancient Civilization Ruins."
Lin Yan looked at the dark blue helmet on the sofa with great interest. This was probably the lowest-end version of the Virtual Universe.
Jiang Fang continued, "When you put it on, your consciousness will enter a 100% realistic virtual space, and then you will enter the Trial Tower to undergo the test."
"Just lie down on the sofa, then put it on directly. Once you put it on, your consciousness will enter the virtual space."
Lin Yan did as she said, lay down on the sofa, and put on the helmet.
Before my eyes appeared an endless expanse of silver land.
The night sky above is filled with countless twinkling stars, like a dream.
It looked exactly like the real thing, giving Lin Yan a sense of déjà vu of a [Mind Palace]. His Mind Palace could do the same, but it would consume his mental energy. He tried it, but while his consciousness was in the virtual space, he was unable to activate the [Mind Palace].
Jiang Fang's figure also suddenly appeared in the virtual space.
"Look over there, that's the 'Trial Tower'."
Three or four hundred meters away, there is a huge tower that soars into the clouds, its entire body carved with patterns of various monsters, encircling the whole tower, with a total of seven stories.
It was also the only building he could see in this space.
"In the virtual space, everyone's physical attributes are the same, and they can only be considered as excellent Elementary Warlord Level. Even if the head of the organization comes, it would be the same. Only under these circumstances can everyone's combat ability be tested."
Lin Yan did indeed feel that his physical condition had weakened considerably.
His interest in this virtual space waned considerably; he felt it was far less useful than his own Mind Palace.
Jiang Fang and he arrived at the entrance of the Trial Tower.
Compared to the towering seven-story pagoda, their figures were as insignificant as ants.
Carvings appeared on the stone pillars flanking the entrance to the Trial Tower.
Name: Lin Yan
Gender: Male
Identity: Elite Training Camp Prospective Student
Trial Tower Level: 1
Because he won't officially join the Training Camp until tomorrow, he's currently just a prospective trainee.
Name: Jiang Fang
Gender: Female
Identity: God of War
Trial Tower Level: 3.6
Jiang Fang frowned slightly and said, "You haven't cleared the Trial Tower yet, so your Trial Tower Level is only the most basic level 1, while I have already cleared the third level B stage, so it is 3.6."
"The Trial Tower has seven floors, but so far, no one has been able to reach the seventh floor. Even our master can only go as far as the sixth floor."
"Lin Yan, go and accept the test now."
Lin Yan took a step forward, and an electronic voice immediately echoed throughout the virtual space.
"Lin Yan, please select your combat uniform and weapon. Enter the Trial Tower within one minute after making your selection to undergo the test!"
One by one, combat uniforms and weapons appeared before his eyes, each with a different style. Without hesitation, Lin Yan chose a set of equipment similar to the style he usually used. The combat uniform, sword, and shield immediately appeared and fell to the ground.
Lin Yan quickly put it on.
Jiang Fang watched calmly as he walked into the dark entrance.
The space shifted, and Lin Yan found himself in a vast, desolate grassland.
The electronic voice sounded again.
"Lin Yan, the first level A stage trial has begun! Kill 50 Mane Bull within 20 minutes, all of which are at the Elementary Beast General Level. This is your first time entering the Trial Tower. You have five minutes to prepare."
Lin Yan's gaze was sharp as a knife; he calmed himself and waited for five minutes to pass.
"Phase A Trial Begins!"
Fifty Mane Bull suddenly appeared on the grassland, each one standing three meters tall, with red eyes, long hair, and sharp, curved horns!
They charged toward Lin Yan in a mighty procession, their hooves pounding the grass, white breath billowing from their nostrils, exuding a fierce and menacing aura.
Lin Yan brandished his sword, his gaze sharp!
Today is the 30th, and the rankings on the Black Dragon Scale will not change. Moreover, Lin Yan has not yet hunted any monsters and has no points to speak of. Naturally, people outside know nothing about Lin Yan's Trial Tower test.
But Jiang Fang was different.
She was in a virtual space, guiding new students, when she encountered a sight she had never seen before in her life.
The information about Lin Yan's Trial Tower on the left stone pillar has not yet been hidden.
The Trial Tower Level number is fluctuating rapidly.
A little over five minutes after he entered the Trial Tower, his score dropped to 1.3. However, she was Training Camp teacher and naturally understood the rules of the Trial Tower. The first time, there was a five-minute preparation time. In other words, Lin Yan didn't even need half a minute to pass the first level A stage test.
Six minutes, it becomes 1.6; eight minutes, it becomes 2.0!
Each layer is divided into three stages: A, B, and C. Taking the second layer as an example, when stage A is completed, it is 2.3; when stage B is completed, it is 2.6; and when stage C is completed, it is 3.0!
Jiang Fang's eyes widened, her heart filled with turmoil.
What kind of monster is this new recruit sent by the Huaxia Military?!
Even she herself couldn't do that.
The Trial Tower Level continued to change, but it slowed down slightly due to the increased difficulty, and gradually, it surpassed her.
How is that possible?
A new recruit already possesses such combat capabilities!
Ultimately, the Trial Tower Level was fixed at 4.3. By the fourth floor, Lin Yan already felt extremely strained. In the middle of the B-stage test, he was unable to dodge in time and had his chest torn open by a monster.
His power level is about five times that of the original, and his swordsmanship has progressed far beyond the Intent level, yet he still has room for improvement. However, his movement technique is only at the Perfect level.
Having reached this point, Perfect level movement techniques have become a weakness.
Therefore, we can only stop here.
After Lin Yan failed, he returned to the front of the Trial Tower. Jiang Fang stared at him blankly, her eyes unblinking.
"Teacher Jiang?"
Jiang Fang snapped out of her daze and asked, "What is your Punch Power Level?"
Lin Yan glanced at the Trial Tower Level of 4.3 on the stone pillar and said, "I'm using Councilor Deng Jun's Po Jun Sword, which has reached the ninth level and is 4 times stronger."
"I will immediately inform our martial arts school's Inspector of this news!"
Jiang Fang was resolute, but then shook her head halfway through her sentence: "No, perhaps they already know."
