Following Jiang Fang, Lin Yan arrived at a quiet villa.

This area is the living quarters of the Training Camp's War God teacher, but this villa is more unique compared to the others.

At the villa entrance, an elderly butler saw their arrival and said, "Inspector Fu is waiting for you in the reception room upstairs Lin Yan, you may go in directly."

Jiang Fang said, "Lin Yan, you can go up now."

Lin Yan nodded and walked into the villa. The incense burner inside emitted a faint sandalwood fragrance. As he walked up the stairs, he heard the sound of water bubbling and boiling.

Lin Yan followed the sound.

Inside the reception room, a man in white sat cross-legged at the tea table. He looked to be in his thirties, quite handsome, and dressed in simple white clothes with an ancient feel.

As he sat there, the entire reception room seemed to be stirred by his presence, making it impossible to ignore him. Every move he made seemed to contain profound mysteries.

The man picked up the boiling teapot, poured two cups of tea, and Lin Yan walked in. The man gestured for him to sit down and said gently, "Please sit down."

Lin Yan bowed and sat cross-legged opposite the tea table.

"Have some tea."

As soon as the man finished speaking, one of the teacups suddenly moved toward Lin Yan, and the boiling water cooled down dramatically in those few seconds, making it perfect for drinking.

This is not Mental Power, but rather a skillful manipulation of force.

"Thanks."

After thanking him, Lin Yan picked up the teacup and drank it.

The man in white picked up the teapot, filled it to about seven-tenths full, and then said, "I am Fu Yu, the Inspector of the Limit Martial Hall."

"Lin Yan, I've come here to recruit you to join our Limit Martial Hall."

Lin Yan was somewhat surprised, and said carefully, "Thank you for your Inspector, but I had no such intention."

Fu Yu showed no surprise and said politely, "We are very sincere. The folder on your desk contains the contract we have prepared for you. You can read it and then give me your reply."

Lin Yan glanced at the folder on the table and picked it up to take a look.

This is the official recruitment contract for the Limit Martial Hall.

SS-class Combat Suit and weapons, one copy of Dragon Blood worth 80 billion, any three sets of secret manuals, and one set of the Ancient Civilization Ruins 'Black God'.

The annual operating expenses shall not be less than 10 billion Huaxia coins.

Once he signs the contract, these things will be delivered to him immediately.

Fu Yu said, "If there are no problems, just sign your name. Don't worry, we will negotiate and provide compensation with the Military later, and we won't make things difficult for you."

"Moreover, after you join our Limit Martial Hall, our five Inspector, and even the academy master, will guide your training, which will save you from many detours."

This contract is very important; even the cheapest terms include 10 billion in operating expenses.

Fu Yu felt that no one could resist this temptation.

Lin Yan put the contract back into the folder and gently placed it face down on the table.

"Inspector Fu, I'm afraid I cannot accept your kind offer. I'm very sorry."

They had no idea what their situation was like in the country, which is why they even considered this idea.

Jia Yi was incredibly generous to him, arranging everything he could for him, even more so than the contract offered by the Limit Martial Hall. Why would he do something like that?

Fu Yu frowned slightly, somewhat puzzled. "You can achieve better development at the Limit Martial Hall, so there's no need to worry about anything. We are all human beings, and our goal is to eliminate monsters. What you should do is use the resources we can provide to grow."

"Our martial arts school is very flexible in its management. If you want to help the army resist the beast tide, no one will stop you."

Lin Yan shook his head. "If others treat me with kindness, I must repay them with righteousness."

"I am sorry I cannot sign this contract, so that Inspector Fu a wasted trip."

Fu Yu gave him a deep look, then said softly, "Fine."

Although he felt this idea was somewhat inflexible, there was no point in forcing it.

Their Limit Martial Hall is not lacking in geniuses.

"However, since you possess this talent and are able to raise your Combat Power Amplitude to the super level before entering the Training Camp, we will naturally provide you with some assistance."

"This is your first month at the Training Camp, and you've only had an hour each in the Gravity Room and the Trial Room. That's far too little."

"I will take out all the rest time from noon to 1 pm every day this month, as well as the free time on the 31st of this month, and then redistribute the time to meet your cultivation needs."

Fu Yu said it casually.

The Gravity Room and the Trial Room can only be used by one person at a time. With 180 trainees in the entire Training Camp, there are already too many students and not enough resources, so adjusting the schedule is extremely difficult.

However, students are not allowed to enter during the one hour at noon every day. Also, since this month is December and there is a 31, the Gravity Room and the Trial Room are empty on the 31st.

These times were originally reserved for new students to join and be tested, but this month is December, and there will soon be a two-month holiday. Generally, no new students are accepted in December.

So Fu Yu took out all that time and redistributed it.

"Inspector Fu, I have a request."

Fu Yu said, "Go ahead."

"I hope to negotiate with other trainees to exchange my Trial Room time for an equivalent amount of Gravity Room time."

Fu Yu was somewhat surprised, as the Trial Room was much more attractive to the trainees Gravity Room.

After all, you don't have to worry about getting hurt and can engage in real life-or-death battles with monsters, which helps improve your combat skills immediately. Moreover, even a slight increase in the Trial Tower Level directly affects your ranking.

Points = "Battle Record Points" multiplied by "Combat Power Amplitude", and Combat Power Amplitude is affected by the Trial Tower Level.

Battle Record Points are earned by killing monsters.

However, the Trial Room held little appeal for Lin Yan. Firstly, his energy was limited, and at this stage he was more inclined to cultivate Gene Energy and integrate and create sword techniques.

Furthermore, if he has such a need, the [Mind Palace] can meet his requirements, so why go to the trouble of seeking something far away?

Fu Yu replied, "Since you brought it up yourself, I can agree. I'll let them know later."

"I can guarantee that you will use the Gravity Room for more than 120 hours this month."

The top-ranked player in the Training Camp has 90 hours of training, but that includes 90 hours each in the Gravity Room and the Trial Room.

Compared to the Trial Room, the Gravity Room unearthed from this Ancient Civilization Ruins is equally precious.

Martial artists' cells absorb cosmic energy and transform it into Gene Energy, which is then absorbed by the body to improve genes and strengthen the body.

However, the absorption capacity of human cells is limited, and they will become saturated after reaching a certain level.

The purpose of Guidance Technique is to involve all the body's cells in movement, thereby increasing the absorption rate of cells. However, Guidance Technique cannot activate every part of the body.

Gravity Room are different.

The Gravity Room acts on every part of the body, from muscles and bones to blood vessels, internal organs, cells, and even molecules and atoms.

Therefore, in Gravity Room, choosing the extreme gravity that you can withstand will greatly increase the absorption capacity of your cells. Spending 2 hours a day under extreme gravity will make your training speed ten times faster than normal!

With over 120 hours of training time, averaging about 4 hours a day, although the effects would diminish with such a long duration, Lin Yan was fully confident that his physical fitness would reach the level of a War God and his Mental Power would reach the level of High-level War God within this month.

It was worth the trip he made.

Fu Yu instructed, "However, this only applies to this month. When you come back from your holiday next year, it will depend on your own points ranking."

Even if his Combat Power Amplitude exceptionally high, we cannot neglect the other students just to take care of him.

Lin Yan smiled inwardly, "I'll run away after I finish my training this month!"

What about next year?

He came here specifically to advance to the rank of God of War as quickly as possible.

Lin Yan replied, "I understand."

Fu Yu gestured for the guest to leave, saying, "Alright, you may leave now."

Lin Yan bowed and left the reception room.

After resolving this matter, he devoted himself to spiritual cultivation.

Under the extreme gravity of the Gravity Room, the improvement in his punching power was almost visible to the naked eye. Before coming to the Training Camp, his punching power was tested at 36,310 kg. With the help of [Guidance Technique - Supreme Induction] and Jade Marrow, his monthly increase was about 2,700 kg, which was already quite exaggerated.

With the help of Gravity Room, this level of exaggeration reaches another level.

Zhao Ruo would occasionally ask him for advice, and he never refused.

Because he was trying to find the most suitable Force Application Technique for himself, he learned all the attack methods above S-rank, which was simply insane.

The secret manual that Zhao Ruo learned was naturally also within his scope of study.

Furthermore, his dedicated research over this period has led to significant achievements in this field.

Zhao Ruo Ruoren was dumbfounded. She knew that Lin Yan learned the Po Jun Sword, which was different from her swordsmanship, but he could instruct her without any difficulty.

He could understand as soon as she spoke. Although he still found it difficult to grasp the essentials of many things after his explanation, when she overcame these difficulties and reviewed Lin Yan's explanations, she found that every word was precious and without any errors.

Is this the genius with an extraordinary Combat Power Amplitude?

It's simply unrealistic.

This must be a god descending to earth to tease me!

Chu Qiang and Lin Yan have become quite familiar with each other over this period of time. They even occasionally go to the Challenge Room to compete. As one of the top three in points, Chu Qiang is a very confident person and wants to see just how strong Lin Yan really is.

The Challenge Room is also set in a virtual space, and the characters there are equal in terms of physical attributes. Just like in the Trial Tower, their physical attributes are superior to those of Junior War General.

Chu Qiang defeat in the contest, proving to be no match for Lin Yan.

Lin Yan's swordsmanship has deepened over this period, and he has become much stronger as well.

In their eyes, Lin Yan was almost without desires and devoted himself to cultivation.

Aside from joining other trainees to go to the Training Camp's designated hunting area, City 1001, 300 kilometers away from the Training Camp, to fight monsters and earn Battle Record Points.

His life revolved almost entirely between the Gravity Room of the Nine-Layered Tower and the Tianjing Pavilion. Before, he would call someone to deliver his meals, but after that, Zhao Ruo brought them to him every day.

Days passed by.

December 20th.

Lin Yan was cultivating in the secret chamber beneath his attic.

His physical abilities are already very close to the War God level. According to his calculations, after today's training, he will be able to truly break through that barrier.

He meditated cross-legged, his body cells absorbing energy, which was then converted into Gene Energy through the mitochondria.

A hazy mist surrounded the dark golden sphere in the sea of consciousness, and the dark golden sphere slowly rotated, releasing the Mental Power within it.

Many droplets are suspended in the middle of the fog, and the fog sometimes merges into the droplets and sometimes is released.

It is now in a state where fog and liquid coexist.

Break through a certain critical point.

Main Mission: Path of the Strong III Completed.

Congratulations on receiving the reward: Superhuman Cells

The message appeared on the system panel, and then there was no further sound.

His body cells underwent dramatic changes; his genetic material was undergoing miraculous transformations, protein expression was altered, and organelles were being renewed. The entire process was incredibly fast, exceeding his expectations.

Is Lin Yan still cultivating?

Zhao Ruo looked at the closed door and asked with some concern.

It's been five days already.

There has been no movement at all.

Chu Qiang laughed and said, "Don't worry, he said himself that day that he had reached a critical moment and needed to meditate quietly for a few days. Nothing will happen."

"But judging from this guy's attitude, could he be about to advance to the God of War?"

Chu Qiang smacked his lips, somewhat sighing.

He achieved so much at such a young age, and he was equally proud and arrogant, but there was really nothing to say about Lin Yan.

Not only was she capable, but she was also diligent and had no arrogance. Even in her youthful and impetuous years, she remained completely unmoved by any temptations of beauty that came her way.

Many female trainees in the Training Camp had feelings for him, and while he did not deliberately distance himself from them, he always maintained the proper distance between them as classmates.

As for Zhao Ruo, with whom he was closest, his attitude was more like that of a teacher. He never held back when giving guidance, and sometimes he even seemed strict.

At this moment.

"Squeak—"

The wooden door to the attic on the second floor was opened.

They immediately looked in the direction of the sound.

Lin Yan stood on the balcony. Today was a rare sunny day, and the sunlight shone on him, giving him a golden edge that was almost dazzling.

Although he looked exactly the same as before, they instinctively felt that something huge had changed in Lin Yan.

Lin Yan basked in the sunlight, smiled, and said softly, "Good morning."

Thank you to Dragon King Ink for the 800-point reward.
