Special Training Camp

Kuka Planet Prairie, core region.

Lush green grass should have made this place a paradise for demonic beasts, yet a silvery-white metal structure stood in the non-core region of this vast prairie.

This silvery-white metal structure covered an enormous area. Viewed from above, it was elliptical in shape, about 430 meters long, roughly 110 meters at its highest point and 50 meters at its lowest, around 200 meters wide at its widest point and 60 meters at its narrowest.

Inside the structure, Kuka Planet's newly appointed governor, Lorenzo, walked alone at the front. At his rear stood an exceptionally beautiful woman, followed by the presidents of Kuka Planet's six major academies.

As they walked, the woman introduced the place to Lorenzo. "Lord Lorenzo, this used to be the spaceship's cockpit. It has now been converted into your office..."

Watching the woman continuously introduce the renovated spaceship to the governor, one academy president sighed inwardly. As expected of the renowned Lord Lorenzo of the Molten Empire. He actually turned a C9-class spaceship into a core base.

A C9-class spaceship alone, plus the renovation costs, must have cost tens of billions of Molten Coins!

The six academy presidents all came from the universe. Their knowledge far surpassed that of those who had never left Kuka Planet, so they naturally understood what a C-class spaceship represented.

C-class spaceships corresponded to Universe Level powerhouses. Under normal circumstances, a C9-class spaceship could withstand repeated attacks from a ninth-rank Universe Level powerhouse, even if that opponent wielded force weapons or psychic weapons.

With this C-class spaceship as Kuka Planet's core base, the demonic beasts would never again be able to breach the core base!

After all, the demonic beasts on Kuka Planet could not grow to the Universe Level, so they naturally could not break through the spaceship's alloy hull.

After inspecting most of the spaceship's functional areas, Lorenzo nodded slightly. "Very good. I am quite satisfied with the renovations to this spaceship."

Hearing this, the woman promptly smiled. "Your satisfaction is the greatest recognition of the House Family."

Lorenzo said nothing further. Instead, he gestured to the six academy presidents behind him.

The six presidents hurried forward and respectfully said, "Governor."

"The core base has been rebuilt. Now, have each of your academies gather ten instructors. Focus on warriors, supplemented by psychic masters," Lorenzo ordered.

"Yes!"

The six presidents nodded one after another and began issuing transfer orders through their communicators.

Although the governor had only asked them to gather ten instructors, they had all tacitly chosen the ten instructors with the best teaching quality in their respective academies.

One day later, the sixty finest instructors from the six major academies arrived aboard the newly renovated spaceship.

Led by their respective academy presidents, they stood in formation, one row for each academy.

Lorenzo floated in the air. A trace of his aura radiated outward, bringing immense pressure upon the sixty instructors from the six major academies and making them scarcely dare to breathe.

Lorenzo was a powerhouse who had fought his way out of a sea of blood. He was also a Giant Axe warrior who had experienced over ten thousand life-and-death battles in Universe Level fighting arenas!

His aura was incredibly bloody, and its pressure was terrifying!

Forget these Stellar Level instructors—even Universe Level experts would be frightened upon sensing it!

Looking down at the sixty neatly lined-up instructors, Lorenzo retracted his aura and said, "You are all exceptionally outstanding instructors from the six major academies. I trust that you know quite a lot about the outstanding students in your respective academies. Now, I have a task for you.

"Rank the outstanding students in your academies according to what you believe is the most reasonable order, then submit the top ten list for each grade to your academy president.

"You have ten minutes. Begin!"

Without giving the instructors any extra time to think, Lorenzo announced the time limit for the task.

After hearing the governor's request, the instructors began ranking the students within their academies. They all knew the rankings for every grade in their respective academies.

Five minutes later, all the instructors had submitted their lists to their academy presidents and continued standing properly in place.

"Very good."

Lorenzo nodded slightly, then transmitted his voice to the six academy presidents. "Organize the lists and bring them to my office. As for these youngsters, dismiss them and let them move freely."

After transmitting those words, he left directly and returned to his office.

Not long after, the six academy presidents knocked on the office door.

After receiving permission, they entered. Then the president of Zhaoguang Academy respectfully said, "Governor, the organized lists have been sent to you."

Hearing this, Lorenzo did not speak. He merely activated his communicator and began reviewing the lists.

"Hmm?"

Seeing a familiar name on the light screen before him, he asked the president of Zhaoguang Academy, "This youngster named Li Qi Royce has been at Zhaoguang Academy for nearly half a year, yet his physical fitness has still not reached the peak of the ninth rank of the Apprentice Level. How did someone with such qualifications make it onto this list?"

"Uh..."

Questioned by the governor, the president of Zhaoguang Academy inwardly groaned. He was personally recruited into Zhaoguang Academy by your disciple. If I left him off the list, wouldn't that be disrespecting you?

Though he was inwardly miserable, this president of Zhaoguang Academy had lived for over two thousand years and had long mastered the art of reading people.

He could tell that the governor was merely asking out of curiosity and showed no displeasure whatsoever.

Thus, he gave the explanation he had prepared. "Student Li Qi Royce has indeed not yet broken through to the peak of the ninth rank of the Apprentice Level.

"However, among the newly enrolled students, his talent is among the best for his age, and his psychic amplitude is also the strongest in his grade."

"Furthermore, his results in matches against other students in the Virtual Universe have been quite good. He has achieved an excellent record of thirty-seven wins and eleven losses. Most of those capable of defeating him are Planetary Level students from higher grades."

"Oh, with such results, he is qualified to be on the list."

Lorenzo nodded, acknowledging the president of Zhaoguang Academy's answer, and continued browsing the list on the light screen.

After a long while, Lorenzo finished reading the lists.

He thought for a moment, then said, "Gather all the students on the lists."

"All of them?"

Upon hearing this, the six academy presidents could not help but be startled.

Had they heard correctly? The governor wanted them to gather every student on the lists. Was he planning to let them enter the United Training Camp?

There were nearly five hundred people on these lists. Letting five hundred people enter the United Training Camp at once was utterly insane!

One had to know that in Kuka Planet's history, the United Training Camp had never housed more than four hundred students, even at its peak.

Although the United Training Camp had suffered a demonic beast attack and lost many outstanding students, dozens of students had survived.

Adding those dozens of students, the total number of students in the United Training Camp would exceed five hundred. That number was simply outrageous!

"Governor, wouldn't gathering all the students on the lists be too many?"

One academy president tactfully reminded him, "With so many people entering the United Training Camp, the cultivation resources required would be immense. As for the empire..."

"Too many?"

Lorenzo laughed softly. "Including the original students of the United Training Camp, there are only a little over five hundred people.

"Within half a year, half of those five hundred people will be eliminated. The United Training Camp has already been destroyed by demonic beasts.

"The newly established Special Training Camp is intended to cultivate geniuses capable of entering the Stellar Training Camp.

"If they have no hope of entering the Stellar Training Camp, they should be eliminated! Free up resources for later arrivals with greater potential!"

Hearing this, everyone understood. The governor intended to abolish the United Training Camp and replace it with the far more competitive Special Training Camp.

"Send the notification of admission to the Special Training Camp to the students on the lists."

This time, Lorenzo's tone was extremely forceful, and an intensely oppressive aura accompanied his voice.

"Yes!"

Suppressed by his aura, the six academy presidents nodded repeatedly. They did not dare say anything more and hurriedly sent out the notifications through their communicators.

In truth, Lorenzo was not particularly satisfied with the six subordinates before him. In his eyes, they were too weak!

They could barely withstand even his full aura pressure, let alone a domain.

Among these seven people, the strongest was only at the ninth rank of the Stellar Level. Their combat techniques were still at the perfected level, and they had not even touched the threshold of a domain.

Zhaoguang Academy, room 211-02 in the Central Building dormitory.

Standing before the sofa, Li Qi stared fixedly at the light screen before him. The information displayed on it made it impossible for him to look away.

If the message had not been sent by the president of Zhaoguang Academy, he would not have dared believe it was real.

Special Training Camp?

Looking at the message on his communicator, Li Qi felt both excitement and confusion.

He only knew about the United Training Camp. What was this Special Training Camp?

Just as he was puzzling over it, another message arrived, also sent by the president of Zhaoguang Academy.

Li Qi opened the message. After reading its introduction to the Special Training Camp, he understood. It was established by the new governor. It seems this Special Training Camp is meant to replace the former United Training Camp, with the same goal of cultivating geniuses who can enter the Stellar Training Camp.

He was quite excited to have gained admission to the Special Training Camp, but after thinking carefully, he noticed something strange.

No, that's not right!
