Training Camp Rules

Lin Mu clenched his fists, able to feel his strength constantly draining away.

The dark-skinned man was also steadily closing in, an incomparably terrifying aura surging from his body.

If this continued, there was a good chance the other man would overtake him.

Lin Mu let out a soft breath and unleashed the Flowing Dragon Steps.

Dragon roars rang out from his body.

Like a swimming dragon, his figure shot forward.

This scene instantly stunned quite a few people.

"Damn, he can still use a Martial Skill!" "Is something wrong with that Weighted Vest? Under normal circumstances, ninety percent of a person's Blood Qi is sealed. How could anyone possibly use a Martial Skill?" "Just how powerful is this kid's Blood Qi Value?" "It could also be because of his physique. He probably has some kind of special constitution too!"

"..."

Amid their discussions, Lin Mu's speed continued to rise. He left the dark-skinned man several hundred meters behind and charged across the finish line.

As this scene unfolded, several mentors responsible for scoring were stirred as well.

They had thought the dark-skinned man would take the opening victory this year.

Yet unexpectedly, a dark horse had burst forth!

Lin Mu came to a stop, panting heavily, when a system notification sounded.

"Weighted Assault Training completed. Efficiency increased by 123 times."

Lin Mu let out a breath. He could feel the Blood Qi in his body recovering rapidly, and his adaptation to this kind of training was also improving.

At that moment, the Weighted Vest on his body suddenly fell off.

Lin Mu could not help letting out a groan.

It felt as though his formerly clogged meridians had been blasted open in an instant, and a sensation of sudden enlightenment washed over him.

Lin Mu turned his gaze toward the system interface.

"Name: Lin Mu."

"Blood Qi Value: 7.78 points."

"Mental Strength: 1.8 points."

"Skills: Fist Technique (Silver Grade 6%), Movement Technique (Silver Grade 37%), Blade Technique (Silver Grade 21%)."

"Secret Art: Dragon Secret Art Fragment (Minor Mastery 50%)."

"Breathing Technique: Xuanmu Breathing Technique Fragment (Minor Mastery 50%)."

"Cultivation Method: Dragon Serpent Body Tempering Technique (Minor Mastery 30%)."

"Martial Skills: Dragon Roar Fist (Perfected), Flowing Dragon Steps (Perfected), Dragon's Thousand-Mile Stride (Major Mastery 23%), Immovable Rock Golden Body (Minor Mastery 99%), Berserk Strike (Major Mastery 12%), Thunder Extermination Strike (Minor Mastery 29%), Mental Augmentation (Minor Mastery 10%)."

"..."

His expression visibly changed when he saw this.

This kind of weighted training provided such an obvious boost to the body.

It was worth several days of his bitter cultivation.

As expected of the Training Camp. It truly has its own unique strengths!

Lin Mu thought to himself.

At that moment, the dark-skinned man walked toward him.

Looking at Lin Mu, he asked with a slight stammer, "Y-you... what's... your name!"

"Lin Mu!"

"I... I'm... Tan Ci! Y-you're very strong!" The dark-skinned man gave him a thumbs-up.

"You're impressive too!"

"I... I'm not as good as you... My dad said... when I meet... someone stronger than me... I have to... learn from him!" Tan Ci said.

"Let's improve together!" A faint smile appeared on Lin Mu's face.

Tan Ci nodded slightly.

The others also crossed the finish line one after another.

When they saw Lin Mu, they were all somewhat surprised.

They had no idea where Lin Mu had come from, yet he had taken first place in this competition!

Among them, a fair-skinned man with a trace of gloominess in his eyes looked at Lin Mu with some hostility.

It was as though he had some grudge against him.

Lin Mu narrowed his eyes slightly.

He had already noticed it during the competition, but he did not know the other man.

Now that the competition was over, the hostility emanating from him was still so obvious. There was clearly something wrong.

Several mentors walked over at that moment.

A Purple-robed Man looked at Lin Mu, a hint of approval in his eyes.

"I never expected Third High School to produce someone like you this year!"

A smile touched Lin Mu's face. "Thank you for the compliment!"

"Don't get too proud! The Training Camp lasts for another month. Many people will unleash their potential during that time and advance by leaps and bounds!"

"Besides, this was only an appetizer!" the Purple-robed Man said.

"Understood!" Lin Mu nodded.

The Purple-robed Man said nothing more. He turned to the others and recorded their information.

About half an hour later, more and more people arrived. Most of them were exhausted to the point of collapse, falling straight to the ground without even the strength to move.

Some even took out potions on the spot and swallowed them, letting out blissful groans.

Several mentors observed their conditions and silently assigned scores.

Another hour passed, and everyone had arrived. An elderly man with graying temples stepped onto the platform, his eyes sweeping across the crowd.

"I am extremely dissatisfied with the results this time. Several trainees fainted on the road. After entering the Training Camp, these people will be punished!"

"Furthermore, during the next training session, we will not lend a hand. If you die on the road because of it, you brought it upon yourselves!"

"We do not need trash here!"

The old man paused before continuing, "In addition, I need to explain the Training Camp's rules to you!"

"Everything in the Training Camp costs something. The currency is not money, but points!"

"If you don't have enough points, go train. You can earn ten points for every hour of training. Here, if you want anything, you must work for it!"

"Now, the winners will be announced. First place, Lin Mu, receives 500 points!"

"Second place, Tan Ci, receives 300 points."

"Third place, Long Yu, receives 200 points."

"Those from fourth place through tenth place receive 100 points!"

The old man spoke slowly.

Lin Mu's expression changed slightly.

Taking first place only earned 500 points.

It seemed earning points in the Training Camp would not be easy.

"Everyone, follow me into the Training Camp!" The old man waved one hand, and the distant gates slowly opened.

He turned and walked inside.

Lin Mu and the others followed close behind.

After entering the Training Camp, their expressions changed noticeably.

The entire Training Camp was enveloped by a Formation.

The moment they stepped inside, they could feel their bodies being suppressed.

Qian Mu appeared beside Lin Mu at some point and whispered, "A powerful expert set up a Gravity Array here. It can restrict one-third of a trainee's abilities, and no matter how high your cultivation is, it remains steadily at this level!"

Lin Mu nodded slightly. He understood very well that people improved the fastest in such a state.

He had also deeply experienced the difficulty of the Training Camp.

"Everyone, pair up and choose your residences. Men and women are forbidden from living together!" the Purple-Robed Mentor said to the crowd.

They looked ahead and saw rows of dormitories standing in the distance.

Quite a few people headed in that direction.

Lin Mu hesitated for a moment before slowly walking forward.
