Starfruit Tree

Everyone was shocked when they saw the tree, even Lin Zhen was deeply moved.

"Star Fruit Tree!" Lin Zhen murmured to himself.

Although the UFO had already descended, it was still thousands of meters above the ground. People could see that the trees were almost parallel to the UFO, and although there was a distance between them, they could not see the trees in their entirety.

These trees are so huge that they even obscure the mountain peaks!

Seeing everyone's shocked reaction, Guan Shanyue said with a hint of pride, "This is the first time you've seen it, isn't it? Some of you may have heard of the Star Fruit Tree, but I believe none of you have seen it in person. This tree is nearly a thousand years old. The seeds are not from Earth at all. They fell to Earth with the Leonid Meteor Shower and took root and sprouted from that time. They grow three to five meters every year, and that's how it looks today."

"Then it must be about four thousand meters high? I've only heard of the Heavenly Ladder, but I've never heard of this tree. Why is it called the Star Fruit Tree?" a martial artist asked.

"This is the secret of the God General Training Camp. When you arrive at the location, you will also need to sign a confidentiality agreement, which prohibits you from disclosing the specific details of the God General Training Camp, especially the Star Fruit Tree, which is a precious treasure of our Huaxia."

Guan Shanyue continued, "As for why it's called the Star Fruit Tree, it's because the fruit on this tree is as dazzling as stars, and there are many varieties. It has many benefits for martial artists to eat it. You will gradually learn the specifics."

As the flying saucer descended, the martial artists focused their attention on the Star Fruit Tree. Some of them asked, "But why don't I see any fruit?"

"You can't see it from the outside. The fruit grows inside the tree and is covered by countless leaves. Those leaves are not only incredibly dense, but also highly corrosive. Neither aircraft nor birds can pass through them. So the only way to find the Star Fruit is to climb."

Sure enough, people saw the UFO flying far away from the fruit trees, not daring to get close at all. All they could see was a sea of green, blocking out the sun, and they couldn't see the end of the canopy at all. They didn't know how big the fruit trees were, and they were definitely not from Earth.

"Then what about his Heavenly Ladder? What's the Heavenly Ladder all about?"

"The Heavenly Ladder is actually carved from the main trunk of the Star Fruit Tree. It goes up around the tree, from the bottom to the center of the trunk. This section is called the Heavenly Ladder. Your performance in climbing the Heavenly Ladder will be your personal achievement."

As Guan Shanyue explained, the UFO descended and finally landed on the ground.

"Alright, we've arrived at the God General Training Camp. It's still 300 kilometers from the Capital City Base City. There are mountains and rivers blocking the way, and countless Mutated Beast along the way. Don't even think about making it to Ice City. Even if you're Mind Power Master, don't even consider it, or you'll die a horrible death."

"Now everyone sign a confidentiality agreement, and then you can go down."

Soon, a beautiful flight attendant handed everyone a confidentiality agreement. Whether they were graduating or eliminated midway, they were not allowed to disclose the contents of the God General Training Camp, otherwise they would be hunted down.

There were many requirements, and they were extremely strict. Lin Zhen glanced at them and quickly wrote down his name.

After everyone had signed the confidentiality agreement, Guan Shanyue led the people down from the UFO.

After getting off the flying saucer, a warm feeling wafted over. The temperature here was at least twenty degrees Celsius lower than in Ice City, and it felt like returning to spring.

The God General Training Camp is a huge camp, almost comparable in size to a small town, with many buildings and a huge training ground. As for the Star Fruit Tree, it is about ten kilometers away from the Training Camp.

Even from this distance, people still cannot see the entire fruit tree; they can only see its huge trunks reaching into the sky, surrounded by lush greenery, and its canopy so large that it seems to stretch as far as the eye can see.

"Wow! The more I look at this tree, the more awe-inspiring it becomes!"

"Yes, it's huge. It feels like a mountain, and we're standing at its foot."

"And that tree trunk is so thick, it's thicker than a mountain. No wonder such a huge canopy isn't blown down by the wind."

"I have a feeling that something in these trees is calling to me. It seems like I've been waiting for this moment my whole life. There must be Star Fruit waiting for me to pick it."

"You're not the only one who feels this way, are you? Look over there, someone else is coming."

A faint buzzing sound came from the air; another UFO had arrived.

A flying saucer that looked similar to this one landed on the ground, and a large group of people got off.

Zhang Yue said to Lin Zhen, "Look, these are from the Magic City Base City."

Lin Zhen glanced at Zhang Yue: "How did you know you were from Modu?"

"Because Modu is very close, almost the same distance as our Ice City, so of course we arrived one after the other." Zhang Yue said matter-of-factly.

Lin Zhen was speechless, but this time Zhang Yue was right. Those people got off the flying saucer, glanced over, and then chatted idly, their attention focused on the Star Fruit Tree, completely disregarding the people from Ice City.

"These guys are really arrogant!" Zhang Yue said, somewhat unconvinced.

In a short while, more and more aircraft arrived, followed closely by the Modu Tianfu Base City. The people of Tianfu were also very proud. As the oldest Base City, although Tianfu had begun to decline, the martial artists there were still proud.

After Tianfu, people from the Southern Base City also arrived. They stared at Modu in silence, neither side willing to concede.

After the people from the south, people from the Northwest Base City also arrived.

Unlike the other Base City where the warriors were dressed very casually, the people from the Northwest Base City were all dressed in military uniforms, standing in neat rows, exuding a solemn and imposing military aura.

Although people from Modu, Tianfu, and other Base City didn't take the people from the Northwest seriously, it has to be admitted that the people from the Northwest had a clear advantage in terms of overall momentum.

On the contrary, the martial arts teams in Ice City Base City were the least noticeable.

After everyone from the five major Base City had arrived, the martial artists from the Capital City Base City, who were supposed to arrive first, were late.

The flying saucer from the Capital City Base City seemed to be larger than those from the other Base City, and more martial artists disembarked from it.

In fact, the number of martial artists in the different Base City is not the same, and the number of places given to each Base City by the God General Training Camp is also different. Because Ice City Base City is ranked at the bottom, it has fewer martial artists selected, only a few dozen people, while the top-ranked Capital City Base City has hundreds of people.

Once the people from the Capital City arrived, all the martial artists were considered present.

The person leading the team from Ice City was Guan Shanyue. He organized the martial artists to assemble and line up, saying as they lined up, "The Head Instructor will be here soon, so everyone be alert and don't anger him."

"Instructor Guan, do we still have Head Instructor?" a martial artist asked.

"Of course, the Head Instructor is Guo Mo, a Level Nine God of War who holds the power of life and death over you. He's not as easy to talk to as I am. Here he comes!"

Head Instructor Guo Mo arrived, and other Base City also had their own teams. They quickly gathered the martial artists together, and the people from each Base City stood in line.

Guo Mo was a strong, dark-skinned man and a Advanced God of War. He was stern and never smiled. Just by standing there, the somewhat noisy scene immediately quieted down.

A pair of hawk-like eyes swept around, and Guo Mo said, "Do you know why you're here?"

No one answered.

"You don't know? Well, let me tell you. Once you're here, you'd better abandon your former identities. Nobody try anything funny. Here, you only train, strive, and achieve results. Don't think about anything else. If I find anyone slacking off, get out of here right now!"

Many martial artists showed displeasure on their faces. The Head Instructor spoke too bluntly. These Elite War General were all well-known figures, and they couldn't stand it.

Guo Mo looked at the people's expressions and sneered, "You're not convinced, are you? Do you even know what kind of tree this is?"

"We've heard about the Star Fruit Tree."

"It's good that you know, but what you know isn't specific enough. Let me add some details. The Star Fruit Tree is 4,100 meters tall. It's not a tree from Earth at all, but comes from the vast universe. The reason this tree is so precious is because of its fruit. Actually, it's not called fruit, but rather crystals formed by the tree canopy reaching into the clouds and absorbing cosmic energy. We call them Star Crystal."

Guo Mo spoke eloquently, "Star Crystal are energy crystals, and they are divided into many levels from low to high. If a martial artist absorbs them, he can quickly strengthen his Dantian Qi, making it easier for him to advance from War General to War God."

"Absorbing the Star Crystal from this Star Fruit Tree can enhance the Dantian Qi?" Some martial artists were surprised.

"That's right, this is the biggest secret of the God General Training Camp, which is why you need to sign a confidentiality agreement. This is the place where War General can advance to War God the fastest!"

The martial artists' eyes were filled with excitement, eager to immediately begin climbing the Heavenly Ladder and searching for Star Crystal on the Star Fruit Tree.

Unexpectedly, Guo Mo spoke up again, "Now let me ask you, is there anyone still dissatisfied? If anyone is unhappy with the God General Training Camp, they can get out now!"

The martial artists looked at each other, and no one expressed any further dissatisfaction.

"Since no one has any objections, you will have to obey the Training Camp's management from now on. I don't care about your dirty deeds. The Training Camp is a place of Natural Selection, survival of the fittest. Those who don't perform well will be eliminated. You have three days to adapt. During these three days, your instructors will teach you some survival skills in the Star Fruit Tree. After three days, everyone will start climbing the Heavenly Ladder. Do you understand?"

"Understood!" the martial artists shouted in unison, their momentum magnificent.

Guo Mo turned and left. The instructors from each team began having the martial artists draw dormitory Number Plate, preparing for their official move-in to the Training Camp.
