A Blow to the Head

One of the martial artists couldn't help but speak up, "We're all from the same Training Camp, why would they go so far as to harm us?"

Many martial artists nearby cast disdainful glances at him. When it came to improving their strength, no martial artist would back down. This person had such naive ideas; how long he could survive inside the fruit tree was truly a question.

This isn't Heavenly Ladder test. Even if you have a good heart, it depends on who you're dealing with. Among martial artists, especially when they're not very familiar with each other and there's competition related to strength, kindness is the most useless thing.

Guo Mo continued, "That's all I have to say. The interior of the Star Fruit Tree is another world, a world without laws, where only strength reigns supreme. In short, you must be careful in everything you do. Also, those Mutated Insect are extremely terrifying. If you feel that your strength is insufficient, it is best to travel in groups."

The Northwest Military Martial Hall members seemed full of confidence; they were the most united team and had a greater chance of winning within the Star Fruit Tree.

Guan Shanyue added from the side, "Now that you're ready, you can enter the Star Fruit Tree. Check your belongings and see if you're missing anything, and replenish them as soon as possible. Once you enter the Star Fruit Tree, you cannot leave without permission until you break through to the War God stage. If you feel you can't hold on any longer, you can return to the platform, but you will lose your qualification to continue entering, which is equivalent to automatically giving up."

"Once you break through to the War God, the Star Fruit Tree's aura will no longer be able to contain you. You will need to return to the platform and leave as soon as possible. War God cannot survive for more than three days inside the Star Fruit Tree. You must all remember this!"

As he spoke, the martial artists were checking their belongings. This journey wouldn't be a matter of just a day or two, but could take a year and a half, or even three to five years. They wouldn't be able to leave until they broke through to the War God, unless they gave up.

Guo Mo only gave the order after everyone had finished checking and found nothing missing.

"Alright! Now that you've completed the Heavenly Ladder Tournament, you can enter the fruit tree. I wish you all the best of luck, and I hope everyone can break through to the War God. The Training Camp will definitely throw a celebration for you then!"

After saying that, Guo Mo waved his hand and said, "Let's go."

Guo Mo was the first to leave, followed by the instructors, who all went down the Heavenly Ladder. Everyone left, and no staff were left on the platform to guard it anymore, no longer caring about this group of Elite War General.

With the instructors gone, leaving only the eighty War General, the atmosphere became much more relaxed.

Huang Yinglie from Tianfu Base City spoke up, "I think the instructor might be exaggerating. Even if those War General stuck in the fruit trees are strong, many of us are already Level Nine War General. Even without coming to the God General Training Camp, we should be able to break through to the War God within a year. Are those people really that much stronger than us?"

Song Tianming from the Southern Base City, who ranked sixth in the advanced group, chimed in, "I think so too. We've seen War God level experts before. I even personally defeated War God in the South."

Some people around him praised him, and he was a little proud. Although he was only ranked sixth in the advanced group, he was still a proud martial artist.

Just then, a whooshing sound suddenly came from afar.

"Hahaha! Tree Heart Lake, I'm finally out! I'm finally leaving this hellhole!"

The sound initially seemed quite far away, but by the time the words were spoken, the person was already nearby, demonstrating their incredible speed.

"Oh no! A powerful figure has arrived!"

Upon hearing the howling sound, people knew that the person approaching was a War God, otherwise he wouldn't have such imposing presence, and the atmosphere immediately became tense.

Not far away, there was a thin branch tens of meters wide, and the whistling sound came from that direction. A figure broke through the barrier of huge green leaves and was flying down.

In less than ten seconds, this person had covered hundreds of meters and arrived in front of the group of martial artists.

People couldn't help but laugh when they saw the martial artist's appearance. He was dressed in tattered clothes, and his hair looked like a tangled mess of weeds, still damp and wet. It looked like he had just washed it, but it still looked like a tangled mess.

His body was covered in scars and filthy, so much so that it looked like a clump of mud could be rubbed off with a gentle touch.

However, the aura emanating from this person was very strong; he was a War God, or rather, a man who had just entered the War God stage.

The man was taken aback when he saw the eighty martial artists, then grinned and said, "Haha! These must be the little guys who just joined the God General Training Camp this year. It's great to see you energetic little ones. I feel like I've become several years younger."

Huang Yinglie stood at the front of the line and curled his lip. "Aren't you also a member of the God General Training Camp? Besides, how much older can you be than us? You've probably only been in this fruit tree for a year, what are you pretending to be?"

The man paused for a moment, then a strange smile appeared on his face, "Heh, this little thing has quite a temper. It really reminds me of when I first came here. But let me correct you, I haven't been here for a year, I've been here for a full eight years!"

Eight years!

The martial artists were all shocked. Even if they were only Beginner War General when they entered this place, it would be slow for them to break through to the War God in eight years. This person couldn't possibly be that bad, could he?

Unexpectedly, this person made a shocking statement. "Like many of you, I was a Level Nine War General when I came here."

Hearing this, Song Tianming sneered, "It took you eight years to break through from Level Nine War General to War God. You're really weak."

The man narrowed his eyes slightly. "Hehe, I was in a particularly good mood today after breaking through to the War God, thinking I could finally leave this godforsaken place. But I didn't expect to run into a bunch of guys who don't know how to respect their seniors. I guess I'll have to show you the power of the experts within the Star Fruit Tree."

Huang Yinglie and Song Tianming stepped forward together. Both of them were Level Nine War General, and among them, they were the best. Individually, each of them could hold their own against Junior God of War for a while. With the two of them working together, it was hard to believe that they would be easily defeated.

"You filthy, smelly thing, show us what you've got, and let us show you the power of this generation of divine generals."

"Eight years to become War God? You must not be very capable. Bring it on!"

The filthy War God glanced at the two of them and sneered, "A firefly's light dares to rival the moon's brilliance!"

After saying that, the man suddenly moved, as if Teleportation. The two of them only felt a Gale rushing towards them, and the man was already in front of them. They didn't even have time to draw their weapons before they saw two fists enlarged in front of them!

The two were not entirely helpless either; each raised their arms to block, and once they blocked this attack, it would be time for them to launch a counterattack together.

"Boom!"

As fists and arms collided, a powerful force surged forth, and Huang Yinglie and Song Tianming screamed as they were sent flying. Their bodies were knocked off the platform, and they were about to fall down the tree!

Neither of them were Mind Power Master; if they fell like that, they would surely die!

People cried out in alarm, but the War God suddenly rushed out again. A Gale stung their cheeks, and they saw a series of afterimages flash by. Just as the two of them were about to fall, the man grabbed their ankles and slammed them back!

The two men were thrown against a thick tree branch, as large as a small mountain pillar, like rag dolls, without any resistance. They each coughed up blood as their bodies fell to the ground.

This person's performance wasn't over yet; he leaped in front of the two men and stepped on their chests.

It felt like a mountain was pressing down on their chests. The two of them tried desperately to pry the man's ankles, but they couldn't move him an inch!

"Is this really a Junior God of War? This is utterly crushing him!"

"This person's strength and speed are ridiculously high. I doubt even Intermediate God of War is stronger than him. Is this the strength of a martial artist trapped inside the Star Fruit Tree?"

"My God! It hasn't been long since his breakthrough. Head Instructor said that even War God can't stay in the canopy of a fruit tree for more than three days, which means his breakthrough only took one or two days. He's already this strong."

Lin Zhen was also slightly moved. The War God who came out of the God General Training Camp were indeed all incredibly strong.

Moreover, this person clearly obtained a Special Star Crystal that enhances speed and power, which is why he is so powerful. In addition, Huang Yinglie and Song Tianming obviously underestimated him and were caught off guard, which is why there is such a huge contrast.

Of course, even if the two of them were prepared, they would still be no match for this person.

"Do you submit?" The man looked down at Huang and Song.

The two men were unable to speak due to the pressure on their chests, but they nodded frantically. The difference in strength was too great, and they simply couldn't resist. They had no choice but to admit defeat.

Seeing this, the man released his foot and jumped down, then chuckled at the shocked crowd, "Little guys, I was just teaching you a lesson. Spitting out blood is nothing. Remember, when you get inside the Star Fruit Tree, don't be too arrogant when you meet seniors. There are many people inside with strength like mine, and even quite a few stronger than me. You can't afford to offend them."

After saying that, the guy waved his hand and said, "I'm leaving. That old man Guo Mo said he'd treat everyone to drinks when they graduate, so I have to go find him. Also, my handsome guy has gotten into this state, so he needs to take a bath. Damn it, every pool in here is infested with Mutated Beast and insects. I haven't had a proper bath in years."

After saying that, the man started walking down the Heavenly Ladder.

At this moment, Jiang Huai Modu from Jiang Huai, asked, "Senior, may I ask your name?"

"My name is Liang Feng. If you encounter any powerful enemies inside, you can mention my name, but it might not work. There are plenty of guys in there who don't like me. It all depends on your luck!"

As he spoke, Liang Feng disappeared around the bend of the Heavenly Ladder, leaving at an incredibly fast speed, clearly unable to bear staying there any longer.

Huang Yinglie and Song Tianming slowly got up, and the people looked at each other in disbelief. Their previous high spirits had vanished.
