After Wang Yi passed the Virtual Space test and officially became a student of the Elite Training Camp,

his name also appeared on the Black Dragon Ranking carved into the black dragon at the Limit Martial Arts School's Elite Training Camp—"No. 184 Wang Yi (560630)."

For his code number, Wang Yi had casually chosen the date he entered the Training Camp. After all, he was the only one joining that month.

The moment Wang Yi's name appeared on the Black Dragon Ranking of the world's number one Training Camp, the news spread like the wind to every corner of the world—the five major powers, the HR Underground Alliance, major families, conglomerates, special organizations, and other forces...

That very day, every one of those institutions and organizations received a detailed report on Wang Yi!

From Wang Yi's birth to his high school graduation, his entry into the Limit Martial Arts School, and everyone he had come into contact with—nothing was omitted. Everything was recorded.

After learning of this, Huaxia Country's special departments immediately began monitoring and protecting the people around Wang Yi, including, naturally, Wang Yi's three... girlfriends.

All sides also prepared different recruitment plans for Wang Yi.

Jiangnan Pavilion was the residence provided for students from Jiangnan Base City, and it contained three separate buildings.

There were another fifty-two courtyards like this one.

Since Wang Yi came from Jiangnan Base City, he naturally moved into Jiangnan Pavilion.

There were already two other students living in Jiangnan Pavilion.

According to what Wang Yi knew, the 1st through the 28th of every month were for earning points. Results were calculated on the 29th, determining the final ranking for that month. Once the next month began, everyone's points would be cleared back to zero, and they would have to work hard to earn points and compete for rank again.

Under Training Camp rules, students were divided into odd and even groups. Each month, they would spend half their time going out to hunt monsters in order to earn points and improve their standing on the Black Dragon Ranking.

The ranking was determined by multiplying Combat Power Amplitude by points.

The higher one's rank, the more resources and rewards one could receive.

Aside from him, two other students lived in Jiangnan Pavilion. One was named Shi Jiang, and the other was Zhao Ruo. Both were from Jiangnan Base City.

Based on his knowledge of the original plot, Shi Jiang was fairly strong. He had entered the Training Camp in '53 and was probably around the top fifteen now. In the original novel, he would be in the top five a year later. Zhao Ruo, on the other hand, was somewhat lacking. She had entered in '55 and likely could not even make the top hundred.

In fact, nearly every student in the top thirty of the entire Training Camp possessed War God-level strength.

However, Wang Yi had no intention of deliberately getting to know them. Since he had not seen them when he moved into the building, he did not pay them any mind.

On the second floor of Jiangnan Pavilion, in a quiet and elegant study, Wang Yi held a white porcelain cup. Steam rose from it, carrying the rich fragrance of tea. As he slowly drank, he looked at the laptop screen on the desk.

"Student Handbook."

"Training room, challenge room, gravity room..." Wang Yi murmured these familiar terms from his memories, a strange smile appearing on his face.

Then his gaze fell upon the ranking rewards.

"Rank first each month. If you can accumulate nine first-place finishes, you can receive one vial of Dragon Blood worth eighty billion, choose any three complete sets of Secret Manuals for free, and choose either Hong or Thunder God as your teacher, becoming their Personal Disciple."

Wang Yi shook his head. For him, taking first place every month was something he would achieve sooner or later, but nine months was far too long.

Secret Manuals?

They took too long to cultivate!

Become Hong's or Thunder God's disciple? Others might beg for such an opportunity, but he had a cheat. With the advantage of his past life's memories, his vision surpassed Hong and Thunder God's by who knew how much. Compared to the improvements his cheat could provide, Hong and Thunder God could offer him far too little help. Surpassing them was only a matter of time, so there was no need!

Thinking it over, the rewards the Training Camp could offer him were not actually as plentiful as he had imagined.

They were not even as useful as a treasure like Dragon Blood, which could rapidly improve physical fitness!

After all, Wang Yi's physical fitness was only at twenty-four thousand kilograms, placing him around the middle of the intermediate War General level.

His Mental Power was also roughly at the middle stage of the beginner War God level.

Of course, joining the Training Camp was still necessary. For example, Wang Yi's Body Movement and Blade Technique had both leaped straight to the Artistic Conception level, the pinnacle level for human Martial Artists, because of his check-in at the Training Camp.

What Wang Yi most wanted to improve now were his physical fitness and force exertion level!

Especially his physical fitness. Once he reached the Planetary level, he would undergo a transformation!

Wang Yi continued reading.

"Fist force exertion level 6: one vial of Dragon Blood worth eighty billion, a full set of SS-class combat uniform and weapons..."

"Trial Tower level 5: the position of Limit Martial Arts School Inspector, one vial of Dragon Blood worth eighty billion, a full set of SS-class combat uniform and weapons, any three complete sets of Secret Manuals, one set of Ancient Civilization Ruins Black God..."

While Wang Yi was holed up in Jiangnan Pavilion studying the "Student Handbook,"

his intelligence report had already been placed on the desks of the Limit Martial Arts School's upper ranks.

Because the talent Wang Yi had displayed was simply too astonishing, the report immediately drew enormous attention from the Limit Martial Arts School's high-ranking members.

Other than Hong, the headmaster, who was still in seclusion and had not received the news, the other five Inspectors of the Limit Martial Arts School stationed around the globe were all present. They gathered in a mysterious conference hall within the Virtual Space to hold a meeting.

The so-called Inspectors were the high-ranking members of the Limit Martial Arts School second only to Hong, its headmaster. Every one of them was an existence beyond the War God level!

As the headmaster, Hong rarely handled the Limit Martial Arts School's affairs personally. They were generally dealt with by the five Inspectors stationed across the world.

After much argument and discussion during the meeting, they finally decided on the treatment Wang Yi would receive.

Inspector Wang, who was Stationed at headquarters, would carry it out.

The next day, July 1st, at dawn.

The previous night, Shi Jiang and Zhao Ruo, who had returned, dragged Wang Yi to a welcome banquet prepared for him by students from Huaxia Country. He did not return to rest until very late, but out of powerful habit, he still woke early and did some morning exercise.

Within the Training Camp, young people of all skin colors wearing training uniforms could often be seen.

Wang Yi, an unfamiliar Huaxia face, naturally drew some attention.

"Hey!"

Wang Yi deliberately wandered around several of the busiest paths. Before long, as expected, he heard clumsy Huaxia-accented speech coming from behind him.

A strange smile appeared at the corner of Wang Yi's lips before swiftly vanishing.

He turned around, putting on a slightly puzzled expression as he looked at several white youths running toward him.

"Are you calling me?"

"Hey! That's right, friend from Huaxia Country!" The white youths hurried over to Wang Yi's side. As though afraid he might slip away, they vaguely formed an encirclement around him, all wearing enthusiastic smiles that seemed somewhat fake.

The group secretly exchanged glances. One of them, a tall, thin white youth with slightly curly blond hair, smiled brightly at the Huaxia boy before him and grinned. "Let me introduce myself. I'm Achilles Lycock, from the European Union Country. I really like your Huaxia martial arts, and I've always wished to compete with geniuses from Huaxia. I wonder if you'd be willing to spar with me?"

"Spar?" Wang Yi pretended to hesitate. "But private fighting is forbidden in the Training Camp, isn't it?"

"That's fine," Achilles hurriedly said. "We can go to the challenge room and have our match there. It won't violate the Training Camp rules."
