Elite Training Camp!

Thor took Gu Ce and left.

They rode a fighter jet, and it moved very fast.

Inside Gu Family Manor, Gu Hechang and Gu Hesheng were interrogating Wang Heng.

"Wang Heng, little Ce told you everything, right?" Gu Hechang reclined on the sofa and said while staring at the ceiling.

"He did." Hearing that, Wang Heng immediately grew solemn.

"I believe you're a smart man. You're also on good terms with little Ce, and Hesheng can be considered half your superior, so I won't hide it from you," Gu Hechang said. "In my hands, I have a Spirit of Plants and Trees that I obtained by accident, a Poison Blood Mushroom."

"The Poison Blood Mushroom contains a deadly poison, but the energy within it is enough to let a High-level General break through to War God. As long as you can withstand the intense pain, you'll undergo a transformation. Even your future path of cultivation will be smooth sailing. Becoming a Mid-level War God, or even a High-level War God, isn't impossible," Gu Hechang said slowly.

"Then... what if I can't withstand it?" Wang Heng asked.

"If you can't withstand it, of course you die." Gu Hechang looked at Wang Heng strangely. "Little Ce's talent is excellent. He doesn't need this thing. I'm not short on money, and this thing isn't much use to me either."

"You choose for yourself."

"I... I'm willing to try!" Wang Heng said through gritted teeth.

After several hours of flight, the fighter jet arrived at Thunderbolt Martial Arts Global Headquarters, located in Thunder Martial Base City.

From listening to Thor brag along the way, Gu Ce learned that this was a base city Thor had led his followers to establish back then. It was located outside Huaxia's borders, in southwestern Asia.

"Let's go, kid."

As the fighter jet landed, Thor called Gu Ce down. Quite a few people were already waiting on the ground.

"Hall Master!"

A burly man came up to greet them.

"This is Chen Ping, the manager of the training camp, a High-level War God, and also your instructor for the next five years. Of course, you probably won't stay for the full five years," Thor introduced.

"Okay." Gu Ce nodded obediently.

"This must be the genius youngster from the Gu family," another blond female fighter said with a smile. "It's rare for our Thunderbolt Martial Arts to beat Limitless Martial Arts School for once."

"You all take him around and explain the situation here. I'll be leaving first," Thor said. He did not much like showing his face in public.

"No problem, Hall Master!" Chen Ping readily took on this heavy responsibility and began introducing the people beside him to Gu Ce.

"This is War God Panxi. The one wearing glasses is Karl War God. They're both teachers in the training camp."

Gu Ce nodded slightly and greeted them.

Seeing this, Chen Ping continued.

"January and February are holidays for the training camp each year. Normally, the camp only officially opens on March 1st, same as over at Limitless Martial Arts School. I'll first take you to look at the ranking board and let you choose a number, then take you to the dormitory and other places."

"No problem," Gu Ce said.

The ranking board was located at the training camp's main gate and was almost exactly the same as the one at Limitless Martial Arts School. The difference was that the black dragon sculpture had been changed into a coiled Silver-Scaled Giant Python, its huge mouth open as it flicked out its forked tongue. A powerful pressure came sweeping over.

"This is a King-level Monster that the Hall Master killed back then. He removed its two fangs and snake pupils and placed them into this sculpture, which formed this pressure that never fades! It's said that within this pressure, there's even a trace of thunder and lightning Conception, making it a great aid for cultivating the Nine Heavens Thunder Blade," Chen Ping said proudly.

"As for the names on the snake scales, that's where the rankings are. Whoever ranks first each month receives a reward, and ranking depends on Combat Power Amplification and hunting monsters," Chen Ping said. "You can now choose a number from 0 to 99 as your code."

Gu Ce raised his head and looked over. There were 110 names on the snake scales, but not a single one was familiar.

That made sense. Thunderbolt Martial Arts' resources were still quite a bit worse than Limitless Martial Arts School's. It was only because Thor valued Gu Ce that he could receive promises of those resources.

"I choose 1," Gu Ce said softly.

"Good." Chen Ping nodded and did not ask further. In the next instant, Gu Ce's name and number appeared on one of the snake scales.

"no.111 Gu Ce (560801)"

Once the ranking appeared on the snake scale, Chen Ping continued leading Gu Ce toward the next place.

Thunder Martial Villa.

"Because the Hall Master specifically gave instructions, you'll live together with us teachers. Those villas over there are all empty. Just pick one to live in. The facilities and everything inside are complete," Chen Ping said.

"Mm." Gu Ce nodded and soon chose his residence.

"All right." A trace of a smile appeared at the corner of Chen Ping's mouth, making a chill run down Gu Ce's spine.

"Next, I'll take you to see the Trial Tower! This is technology shared between Limitless Martial Arts School and us! Other than here and Limitless Martial Arts School's Elite Training Camp, not even the five great powers have facilities like this," Chen Ping said proudly.

Chen Ping led Gu Ce around for a while, and they soon arrived before a building with a rather sci-fi style.

"This is Nine Heavens Tower, the same name as the one over at Limitless Martial Arts School," Chen Ping said. "Because it's shared with Limitless Martial Arts School, anyone who wants to use this place needs to line up. But you don't have to worry. The Hall Master gave you special privileges, so you can cut in line without limit."

Cut in line? Gu Ce was slightly stunned. That was pretty good too.

When they arrived on the ninth floor of Nine Heavens Tower, whether because the place had been cleared in advance or for some other reason, there was not a single student here.

Chen Ping led Gu Ce into a room and taught Gu Ce how to use the virtual helmet.

The two put on the helmets and entered the Virtual Space together.

Gu Ce felt rather amazed. After all, novels were just novels. Seeing a Virtual Space for the first time still felt wondrous. He wondered how intricate the Virtual Universe would be.

"In the Virtual Space, everyone's basic physical attributes are the same. In reality, you're only an Advanced Warrior, so after coming here, your physique has grown stronger. You may need to adapt a little," Chen Ping said. "See that tall tower? That's the Trial Tower."

The Trial Tower towered into the clouds, incomparably massive.

Gu Ce and Chen Ping stood at the entrance like two ants.

"Look at that stone pillar." Chen Ping pointed toward a black stone pillar to the left of the Trial Tower's main entrance. On the black stone pillar, carved words actually surfaced—

Name: Gu Ce

Gender: Male

Identity: Elite Training Camp student

Trial Tower Level: 1

He turned his head to look—

Name: Chen Ping

Gender: Male

Identity: War God

Trial Tower Level: 4.2

"The Trial Tower has seven floors in total. At present, no one in the world can reach the seventh floor, not even Hong," Chen Ping said.

"What about the Hall Master?" Gu Ce was a little curious.

"The Hall Master's Trial Tower Level is a bit lower than Hong's, but he's also on the sixth floor." Chen Ping guessed what Gu Ce wanted to ask and answered.

"Go on. Pick a combat uniform and weapon, and see how far you can make it," Chen Ping said with a smile.

Gu Ce nodded. He hesitated no longer. After choosing the combat uniform and weapon that suited him, he stepped resolutely into the Trial Tower.

"I wonder how far a genius even the Hall Master values can get?" Chen Ping was very curious, and also somewhat expectant.
