Instructor Chris

After entering the room, Xu Fei recounted everything that had happened in Fengming Village, leaving Chu Yu filled with indignation!

Only then did he understand why the Pope had regarded Xu Fei and the other boy differently. It was because the two of them had avenged the villagers of Fengming Village and preserved the last shred of dignity for Your Holiness and Spirit Hall.

Coupled with Lu Yuan's talent of Innate Full Soul Power, it was only natural that His Holiness favored him.

"I've heard of the Genius Training Camp, Spirit Hall's specialized place for selecting talent!" Xu Fei's expression turned serious. "There are no mediocre people in the Genius Training Camp. Every one of them would be considered a genius in the outside world, and those who stand out within it are all supreme prodigies!"

"Spirit Hall's famed Golden Generation came from the Genius Training Camp, and they were the top three of their year!" Xu Fei spoke eloquently. "Although not every class produces prodigies comparable to the Golden Generation, anyone who comes out of there undoubtedly stands at the pinnacle among their peers."

Chu Yu also chimed in, "Just as Xu Fei said, Spirit Hall mainly has two ways of selecting talent. One is Spirit Hall Academy. Those who pass the initial assessment may join Spirit Hall Academy, and if they perform exceptionally during their studies, they will be selected separately and groomed intensively!"

"The other is the Genius Training Camp. Compared to Spirit Hall Academy, the Genius Training Camp has higher standards, and its training is extremely harsh. Every student who successfully graduates from the Genius Training Camp will receive Spirit Hall's attention. The top three may even have the chance to join Papal Hall, take an elder or consecrated as their master, and rise above everyone else in an instant."

"However, the competition in the Genius Training Camp is exceptionally fierce, and the training intensity is immense. Every year, quite a few students are unable to endure it and break down. Many Soul Masters with astonishing talent have fallen in the Genius Training Camp!" Xu Fei's expression was grave.

"So, joining the Genius Training Camp is not merely a blessing for you. It is also a harsh test. It is both an opportunity and a hardship. Whether you can seize the chance and break out of your cocoon to become a butterfly depends mainly on you!" Xu Fei looked at Lu Yuan and spoke earnestly.

"Mm, I understand, Uncle Xu!" Lu Yuan's expression was resolute. "No matter what difficulties lie ahead, I will persevere to the end!"

"What spirit!" Chu Yu laughed heartily.

A smile curled across Xu Fei's lips. "I believe in you. After all, you're a genius from our Fasinuo Province. I hope that one day, I'll hear that you successfully stood out from the Genius Training Camp!"

"Rest assured, I definitely won't disappoint you!"

Crescent Grand Canyon!

This was the base of the Genius Training Camp!

As Spirit Hall's renowned Genius Training Camp, it was managed with strict military discipline. Not only was it guarded by a dedicated Soul Master Legion, but the highest-ranking commander responsible for its management was even a high-level Soul Sage!

Soldiers on duty patrolled every half hour. The camp's defenses were as solid as a fortress, making it nearly impossible for ordinary people to sneak inside!

Even a Soul Douluo would be discovered if they infiltrated the place, unless the intruder possessed the strength of a Titled Douluo. That would be another matter entirely!

The Genius Training Camp had extremely high requirements and only accepted young students aged ten or below. Every three years, only the top ten could successfully leave this place. If someone joined at the age of six, they could participate in at most two selection competitions. If they still failed to leave successfully after turning ten, expulsion awaited them.

In other words, only ten people left every three years. Aside from newly admitted students, everyone else was a failure, and unqualified students had no right to remain in the Genius Training Camp.

Since the camp had been established, the students who managed to leave had all been around nine years old. Without exception, they had almost all reached the level of high-level Soul Masters. The most outstanding Golden Generation had every member reach the Soul Grandmaster realm. As for anyone leaving the Training Camp at six or seven years old, there had not been a single case to date.

Thus, Bibi Dong's expectations for Lu Yuan were actually extremely high, far beyond the limits of ordinary geniuses. This was also why the many elders and consecrated ones in the hall had raised no objections to Bibi Dong's words.

If Lu Yuan could truly defeat all competitors and claim the championship at the age of six, then his talent would surpass everyone since the Training Camp's founding. In that case, becoming Your Holiness's disciple would be fully deserved.

That day, two figures arrived outside the Training Camp, one tall and one short!

At the entrance to the Training Camp, a middle-aged man clad in silver armor was already waiting.

"Greetings, Instructor Chris. By His Holiness's order, I have brought this person to enter the Training Camp. This is a letter written by Bishop Filo!" The man accompanying Lu Yuan handed a letter to the silver-armored man, Instructor Chris.

"Lu Yuan, six years old, from Notting City, Fasinuo Province. Martial Soul: Golden Dragon. Level fifteen Power Attack System War Soul Master. Soul ring: an eight-hundred-year Sky-Supporting Demon Ape!" Chris read aloud word by word.

"I didn't expect you to be a genius." Chris's tone was calm, but when he said the word "genius," it carried a faint, barely perceptible trace of mockery!

"I'll take him. You can go back now!" Chris waved the man away, then turned to Lu Yuan. "Kid, follow me inside!"

Inside the Training Camp!

Chris's office!

"Kid, once you enter the Training Camp, you must follow our rules. I don't care who recommended you, nor do I care who stands behind you. Here, you only need to do one thing: obey orders. Do you understand?" Chris said flatly.

"Yes, Instructor!" Lu Yuan replied in a firm voice.

"Very good!" Chris clapped his hands. "Har, take him to the dormitory. Training officially begins tomorrow!"

"Yes, Instructor!" Watching the two leave, Chris's lips curved slightly. "Someone valued by Your Holiness? Let's see just how capable you are."

The Training Camp was large, and it had quite a few students. Including returning students from previous years, there were no fewer than one hundred and fifty people in total!

One hundred and fifty people, yet only ten could leave successfully every three years. It had to be said, that was truly a cruel ratio.

The dormitory building was not far away, and it was quite large, so there were plenty of rooms. On average, two people could share one dormitory. Back at Notting College, who knew how many people had been crammed into a single dormitory? At least a dozen, probably!

Second floor, room 204!

Har stopped, took out a key, and handed it to Lu Yuan. "This is your dormitory. Someone will bring you bedding later!"

"Thank you, Uncle Har!" Lu Yuan thanked him politely.

"It's my duty. No need to thank me. I'll be going now!" Har said before turning and leaving.

"Take care, Uncle Har!"

Lu Yuan inserted the key into the lock and slowly turned it. Then he gently pushed open the door.
