Elite Training Camp

Early in the morning, Qin Hao got out of bed. After a quick wash, he went straight to the Training Room to practice. He performed the Basic Saber Technique, Nine Heavens Thunder Blade, and his self-created Blade Technique, Startling Thunder, one after another, until his entire body was drenched in sweat.

However, Qin Hao did not stop training. Instead, he continuously practiced the fourth level of Nine Heavens Thunder Blade in combat, adapting to the state of Force Generation while searching for that feeling of endless continuity.

The feeling of endless continuity Qin Hao had experienced when he broke through to the fourth level of Nine Heavens Thunder Blade during the battle in the cave had given him a new method and state of Force Generation. Although it had been executed according to the Nine Heavens Thunder Blade technique, it differed from Thor's pursuit of extreme speed.

It was not like the swiftness of lightning. Instead, it was like layer upon layer of surging waves, and like the unceasing, inexhaustible vitality of life itself.

Under the pressure of battle, Qin Hao had managed to bring it out in actual combat. Even on the way back, he had been searching for that feeling, but he always felt that something was missing.

If I can grasp this feeling, my self-created technique can become even stronger. Qin Hao's long saber continuously slashed out as his mind raced, but he was always just short of something.

The path of creating techniques is not that simple. Qin Hao sighed inwardly. Even Thor and Hong had gone through countless life-and-death experiences before developing their current Force Generation techniques through the fusion of combat and cultivation experience.

However, after gaining entry into the Crimsonbright Diagram of the Nine Heavens, Qin Hao's control over his body had improved further. All he lacked for a breakthrough in Force Generation was a bit of inspiration.

"Qin Hao, come out quickly!" Just as Qin Hao was thinking, Qin Hai's voice came from outside the door, carrying a note of urgency.

"Dad, what's wrong? Did something happen?" Qin Hao asked as he walked out of the Training Room. There should not have been any danger in Mingyue Residential Area. If something had made his parents nervous, it was probably related to someone in the residential area.

"Someone has come to see you. Center Master Wu came with them, and he was being extremely careful. They're probably higher-ups from the martial arts center." Qin Father spoke quietly as he led Qin Hao toward the living room.

"It should be good news." Qin Hao had already made some guesses about the visitors. Still, they had come much faster than he had expected. He had only completed his certification yesterday, yet they had arrived early this morning.

In the living room, Qin Mother served cup after cup of tea, carefully placing them on the coffee table. Besides the familiar Wu Tong and Zhuge Tao, there were three other people.

"Zhuge, we absolutely cannot let a genius like Qin Hao slip away. If there are no problems with this test, report him to Global Headquarters immediately. Another Elite Training Camp genius has appeared. You and I will finally be able to hold our heads high before the other Base Cities," the leading middle-aged man said.

"President, don't worry. Nothing will go wrong. Qin Hao's certification video has already been verified, and the personnel responsible for the verification have also been questioned." Zhuge Tao wore a broad smile. The Elite Training Camp was also known as the War God Training Camp. Those who entered it generally emerged as War Gods.

Combined with the talent Qin Hao had displayed, becoming a War God was inevitable. He might even become someone Beyond War God. As one of the four giants of the Jiangnan Branch of the Limitless Martial Arts Center, Zhuge Tao had the support of War Gods behind him. If there were another War God, or even a powerhouse Beyond War God, his position would be secure. He might even use this opportunity to break through and become a War God himself.

The other two supervisors looked at Zhuge Tao enviously. From martial artists to branch supervisors, their status might not be low, but for most martial artists, their paths had already reached their end, and it was extremely difficult to improve their strength further. Although Advanced Warlords and War Gods seemed to be separated by only a thin line, the difference between them was as vast as heaven and earth.

As they spoke, Qin Hao entered the living room.

"Qin Hao, come over quickly. This is the president of our Jiangnan Branch of the Limitless Martial Arts Center, War God Zhou Zhengyong. These two are supervisors of the Limitless Martial Arts Center, Liu Tian and Zhu Ming." Zhuge Tao was the first to stand and introduce the other three to Qin Hao.

"President Zhou, Supervisor Liu, Supervisor Zhu."

"Supervisor Zhuge, may I ask why you have all come?" Although he already knew their purpose, Qin Hao asked directly.

"Your martial artist title certification has passed. To reach Intermediate War General in such a short time, while possessing the strength of an Advanced Warlord, is unprecedented even within our Limitless Martial Arts Center."

"President Zhou and the supervisors have discussed it and decided to recommend you for the Elite Training Camp. We came this time to conduct a comprehensive test on you," Zhuge Tao said.

"Thank you, President, and thank you, Supervisors," Qin Hao said.

"President, Supervisors, the testing preparations are complete. Shall we proceed to the tests now?" Wu Tong, standing nearby, stepped forward. Wu Tong was also extremely shocked by this. When he had received the notice yesterday, he had barely dared to believe it.

He had personally tested Qin Hao during the Quasi-Warrior assessment. Yet in only a few short months, Qin Hao's strength had already far surpassed his own.

The YZ City headquarters of the Limitless Martial Arts Center was beside Mingyue Residential Area. The group soon arrived at the headquarters testing area. The surrounding staff had already been dismissed. After Wu Tong checked the testing machines and cameras nearby, he stepped aside again.

"The equipment inspection is correct, and the cameras are operating normally. Testing can begin."

"Good. Begin the test." After Zhou Zhengyong spoke, he looked at Qin Hao. As the president of the Jiangnan Branch, Zhou Zhengyong was also a War God. He was astonished by Qin Hao's talent, but having witnessed the strength of Hong and Thor, he had stronger composure and had remained perfectly calm throughout the journey.

Qin Hao did not lose his nerve either. He went straight into the testing area and completed the Punch Strength Test, Speed Test, and Neural Reflex Test one after another. The results soon appeared before the five of them.

"Without a doubt, an Advanced Warlord. I heard that you cultivate Nine Heavens Thunder Blade. Have you succeeded?"

Upon hearing the question, Qin Hao offered no explanation. He simply punched the target. The fourth level of Nine Heavens Thunder Blade erupted with 3.5 times his strength, and the value of 158,000 kilograms appeared.

"The fourth level of Nine Heavens Thunder Blade?!!" *5

The shock brought by the fourth level of Nine Heavens Thunder Blade was far greater than the shock of Qin Hao possessing Advanced Warlord strength. Strength could be increased through Heavenly Treasures and Genetic Serum, but improving Force Generation was extraordinarily difficult.

Even among War Gods, 3.5 times Force Generation was above average. Yet it had appeared in a youth who had become a martial artist only a few months ago.

Even Zhou Zhengyong, a War God himself, was only slightly better than Qin Hao in terms of Force Generation.

"Good! Good! Good!"

"Qin Hao, your situation will be reported to headquarters immediately. Do not go to the Wilderness Zone for the next few days. Be ready at any time for the Elite Training Camp assessment and admission," Zhou Zhengyong said, his tone somewhat excited.

Nine Heavens Thunder Blade was famously difficult to cultivate, yet Qin Hao had reached the fourth level in just a few months. Passing the Elite Training Camp's examination would not be a problem at all. Moreover, War God was definitely not Qin Hao's limit. It was even possible that he could become someone on par with Thor and Hong.
