At the main entrance of the Elite Training Camp.
Xia Zhi had just returned from the Wilderness Zone. After dealing with the Monster materials he had harvested, he walked over while looking at the enormous Black Dragon Sculpture.
His gaze slowly searched through the names engraved on the Black Dragon's scales.
Before long, he found his own name—"No. 128 Xia Zhi (551201)."
"Hey, Xia Zhi, you're back!"
A petite woman with short hair—whose only flaws were her relatively dark skin and small eyes—
entered from outside alongside a man. Seeing Xia Zhi standing before the Black Dragon Sculpture, she greeted him.
"Zhao Ruo, you and Senior Brother Shi Jiang are back too?" Xia Zhi turned around, saw the two of them, and greeted them as well. "Senior Brother Shi Jiang."
Zhao Ruo and Shi Jiang were also from Huaxia Country, and their hometown was likewise Jiangnan Base City.
The three of them were fellow townspeople and also lived in Jiangnan Pavilion. Xia Zhi usually focused solely on training, so among the students of his cohort, they were the only two he was fairly familiar with.
Zhao Ruo had entered the Elite Training Camp this year after passing the selection from the basic training camp, making her one of Xia Zhi's fellow students.
However, she had joined during the regular recruitment in March, eight months before Xia Zhi entered the Elite Training Camp.
She was currently ranked 106th among the students, which was considered middling, but among the students admitted this year, she was already among the best.
Shi Jiang, meanwhile, had been sent here by the government military in 2053. He had joined the Elite Training Camp two years before Xia Zhi and Zhao Ruo.
He could currently maintain a stable position within the top twenty of the Elite Training
