Early that morning, Qin Hao left home and headed to the Limitless Martial Arts Center's Jiangnan Branch under Wu Tong's guidance. He had originally planned to spend more time with his family, but after only two days at home, he was leaving again. The next time he returned, he would likely have graduated from the Elite Training Camp.
Qin Hao had no intention of staying at the Elite Training Camp for too long. Once he obtained the resources he wanted and improved his strength, he planned to graduate immediately.
Luo Feng had only needed a few months. As a transmigrator—and one with a cheat at that—Qin Hao was highly confident in the speed of his own growth.
At the waiting area of Jiangnan Base City's airport, Zhou Zhengyong, Zhuge Tao, and the others were waiting.
Not long afterward, a phantom appeared above the airport. It rapidly slowed and gradually descended. A massive flying saucer-shaped passenger plane landed, its cabin door opened, and a long staircase lowered as someone slowly walked down from the aircraft.
"Old Yang!" Zhou Zhengyong called out with a smile.
"Iron Hand, long time no see." Yang Hui smiled as he walked over.
"Old Yang, did you come this time because of Qin Hao? Why the rush? We only just submitted the request, and you came immediately?" Zhou Zhengyong was quite curious. The Elite Training Camp had limited slots, and each review required coordination among several parties before results could be produced after a few days.
"Inspector Wang takes this very seriously. I came to pick up Qin Hao and take him to the Elite Training Camp for testing. If there are no issues, he'll enter the camp directly."
"Where is Qin Hao now?"
"We already notified him to come to the main branch. He's arrived already," Zhou Zhengyong replied, understanding Yang Hui's urgency.
"Good. We'll head to the main branch now, test him, and then immediately proceed to the Elite Training Camp." Yang Hui spoke directly as he headed outside the airport.
At the Limitless Martial Arts Center's Jiangnan Main Branch, Qin Hao and Wu Tong had already waited for half an hour when Zhou Zhengyong's group entered the building. Wu Tong and Qin Hao stepped forward to greet them.
"President, Supervisor." *2
"This is War God Yang Hui from the Elite Training Camp. Perform well later," Zhou Zhengyong instructed.
"Yes," Qin Hao answered.
After a brief exchange, the group headed straight to the testing room. They conducted a round of tests for punching power, speed, neural reflex, and force generation. Throughout the process, Qin Hao remained completely at ease.
Once the tests were finished, Yang Hui did not linger. He directly took Qin Hao to the airport, preparing to head to the Limitless Martial Arts Center's Elite Training Camp in Hongning Base City. The efficiency of the entire process left even Qin Hao surprised.
After all, even Luo Feng, the protagonist of the original story, had not received such treatment.
Qin Hao followed Yang Hui to the airport. After passing security, they quickly entered and boarded the flying saucer-shaped passenger plane parked in the center of the airport.
"Mr. Yang, your seats are in the first-class cabin on the top floor." Led by a flight attendant, the two soon arrived at the top level.
After entering the plane, Qin Hao looked around. This was his first time flying in this life. Before becoming a martial artist, he had never even left Yangzhou Base City.
This was also the experience of ninety-nine percent of ordinary people in this world. Some spent their entire lives within a Base City.
"Qin Hao, this is your first time flying. The Limitless Martial Arts Center will cover the expense this time. If you fly next time, you'll have to buy your own ticket. The major passenger airlines in Huaxia charge a standard ten million from a Base City to headquarters, while first class costs twenty million," Yang Hui said.
"Still, twenty million will be pocket change to you by then." Yang Hui had no doubts whatsoever that Qin Hao could enter the Elite Training Camp. Once someone joined the Elite Training Camp, money was nothing more than a number.
Rumble...
Amid a deep roar, the passenger plane took off. More than an hour later, it landed at Hongning Base City's airport.
After arriving at the airport, Yang Hui took Qin Hao directly into a car that had been waiting for some time, and they headed straight toward the Elite Training Camp.
"Once we arrive at the Elite Training Camp, you'll undergo a placement assessment. Your results this time will determine the treatment and benefits you receive, so you must take it seriously," Yang Hui explained along the way. After all, Qin Hao was a genius of the martial arts center. Becoming a War God was beyond doubt, and he would become a powerhouse even among War Gods—perhaps even surpassing them.
Yang Hui treated Qin Hao as an equal. Geniuses did not follow common sense. Who knew when Qin Hao might surpass him?
The car entered the Elite Training Camp. After Yang Hui and Qin Hao got out, they walked through the spacious entrance.
The moment they entered, they saw a massive Dragon Statue. The giant black dragon stood nearly fifty meters tall, with a pair of enormous dragon eyes. When Qin Hao looked into them, he felt an endless aura of darkness pressing down on him. However, it did not affect him. After a moment of mild surprise, Qin Hao regained his composure.
Once he recovered, Qin Hao turned his gaze toward the names displayed on the screens embedded in the Giant Dragon's scales.
"NO.1 Renatus Bridge (530321)"
"NO.2 Chu Qiang (540601)"
There were more than 170 names in total.
"This is the Elite Training Camp ranking. There are currently 172 students in the camp, all of them top geniuses from around the world. They are ranked according to their combat power points. After your assessment, your name will also appear here." Yang Hui spoke as he strode toward the interior of the Training Camp.
Very soon, the two arrived outside the nine-story giant tower at the very center of the Training Camp.
"This tower is called the Nine-Layered Tower. It is where all students study and train. Your assessment will also take place here."
Looking at the building filled with the characteristics of Huaxia's ancient culture, Qin Hao felt a surge of excitement. This was his first encounter with Virtual Space in either life. Not to mention the Trial Tower—he wondered how many floors he could clear.
"The official assessment begins at twelve. Here is a contract. Read it carefully. It concerns this assessment and the treatment you'll receive afterward." Yang Hui took out a contract and handed it to Qin Hao.
The contract contained only three pages and was very simple. Qin Hao took it and carefully read through it. Unlike an ordinary contract, this one was directly tied to this assessment.
"Party B may directly enter the Elite Training Camp upon passing the B-Rank Assessment."
"Upon clearing the first floor, Party B will receive an annual activity budget of five billion, an S-Rank Combat Suit, a full set of weapons, and one Secret Manual of choice."
"Upon clearing the second floor, Party B will receive an annual activity budget of five billion, an S-Rank Combat Suit, a full set of weapons, one Jade Marrow worth thirty billion, and two complete sets of Secret Manuals of choice."
"Upon clearing the third floor, Party B will receive an annual activity budget of ten billion, an SS-Rank Combat Suit, a full set of weapons, one 80 Billion Dragon Blood, the Ancient Civilization Ruins 'Black God,' and Three Sets of Secret Manuals of choice."
