"Whoosh, whoosh~~"

Hot water washed over his body, cleansing away the thick layer of grime on his skin.

Standing naked before the huge mirror in the bathroom, Xu Feng's physique had not changed much. He was still lean and wiry.

However, all the scars left behind from his previous battles had vanished completely.

Under the bathroom lights, his entire body actually gleamed with a metallic luster, like ancient bronze.

Returning to his room, he changed into loose training clothes. Aside from the throwing knives in his specially made belt, he carried no other weapons.

"Let's go to the Nine-Layered Tower and test my current strength!" Xu Feng quickly headed out, running toward the Nine-Layered Tower through the night. It was already past three in the morning!

At this hour, only the Ninth Layer of the Nine-Layered Tower still had some students lining up to use the Gravity Room and Trial Room.

Both facilities required a corresponding ranking time to use, and the higher one's rank, the earlier one could reserve a slot. Those with lower rankings could only wait.

So even in the middle of the night, students still came here to train.

However, the other training halls were completely empty at this time.

Xu Feng entered one of the small training halls in the Nine-Layered Tower. After turning on the large Punch Force Tester in the corner, he stood directly before the punching target.

This machine was much larger than the ones in Mingyue Community and the Limitless Martial Arts Hall.

It could accurately test the punch strength of High-level War God martial artists. Its cost was easy to imagine.

"My punch strength two days ago was around 25,000 kilograms with an ordinary strike. Let's see how high it is now!" With that thought, Xu Feng moved instantly.

Using no technique at all and relying only on brute force, his right fist shot out like a cannonball. Accompanied by a violent sonic boom, it slammed directly into the punching target.

Bang—!

The punching target shook violently, producing a deep, muffled sound.

A line of numbers appeared on the display: "118001kg."

"How can it be this high?" Xu Feng stared wide-eyed in disbelief. "Didn't they say that taking Dragon Blood could at most double one's strength? This is nearly four times!"

"So it really is true that the lower your strength, the better the effect."

Xu Feng had originally estimated that his punch strength would rise to at most 90,000 kilograms after taking it. He had not expected it to reach 120,000 kilograms.

The threshold for an Intermediate War God was only 128,000 kilograms. In terms of physical fitness, he had already firmly reached God level.

"Doesn't that mean my Psychic Master ability is already at the High-level War God level? And after putting on the Black God Suit, wouldn't I be at the Invincible God level? Hahaha!"

In the original story, Luo Feng had been assessed as Invincible God level when he became the Inspector of Jiangnan Base City.

In terms of strength, if Xu Feng went out and displayed his abilities now, it would be easy for him to receive an Invincible God level assessment.

"Let's test just how strong my Mental Power is." Xu Feng's eyes lit up, and two throwing knives with a faint silver sheen immediately floated before him.

These two throwing knives were the SSS-rank Throwing Knives he had obtained this time. They could easily pierce even the defenses of a King-level Monster, and each one was worth ten billion.

With a thought from Xu Feng, the two throwing knives instantly rotated 180 degrees. Their hilts pointed toward the Punch Force Tester, while their tips faced him.

"Go!"

One of the throwing knives instantly turned into a streak of black light and shot directly at the Punch Force Tester's target!

Bang—

This time, the target shook even more violently than before. The sound it produced made one's heart feel as though it might stop.

The number "416236kg" immediately appeared on the display!

Seeing that number, even Xu Feng could not help inwardly cursing at how absurd it was.

No wonder people said Psychic Masters were invincible among those of the same level. Throwing knife attacks did not place the greatest emphasis on strength, but won through speed!

Yet even a throwing knife that relied on speed could contain tremendous force approaching that of a High-level War God martial artist!

And a Psychic Master could control multiple throwing knives at once. Just imagine being surrounded by twelve throwing knives moving at ten times the speed of sound, each carrying 420,000 kilograms of force. Even a High-level War God would be slaughtered!

Those existences beyond God level, those Planetary level Councilors, were probably only this strong without considering boosts from special abilities.

After venting all his excitement in the training hall by attacking the punching target, Xu Feng returned to his room in Jiangnan Pavilion, feeling completely refreshed.

Lying in a recliner on the pavilion balcony and looking at the starry night sky outside, he quietly calculated his future plans.

Only every August did all students have to undergo a month-long life-and-death trial in the three great dangerous regions: the Australian Continent, the Sahara in Africa, and the Amazon in South America.

Without tempering oneself through life and death, a flower raised in a greenhouse could never amount to much. The students of the Elite Training Camp were the same!

After the life-and-death training, his physical fitness would likely reach the peak of God level. There would be no need to remain in the Elite Training Camp competing with a group of War Generals for resources.

That would be nothing but a waste of time. Reaching Planetary level and fighting monsters was his current top priority!

When the hands of the clock passed twelve and the Earth calendar entered July 29th.

The student Points ranking list, which had gone through countless twists and turns that day and nearly attracted the attention of every organization and power among the world's five major nations, finally stopped changing.

NO.1 Xu Feng

NO.2 Mo Qi Delufei

NO.3 Luo Nuo Ya Suo Luo

······

Throughout July, the competition had been extremely intense during the first twenty-eight days. But now the rankings had been decided. On the final two days of July, the 29th and 30th, the students were much more relaxed.

At eight in the morning on the 29th, inside a small training hall on the second floor of the Nine-Layered Tower.

"Senior Disciple Sister. Senior Disciple Brother." After entering the training hall, Xu Feng greeted the other three students already inside. Soon, two more students arrived. There were six in total: four Chinese and two white students. Of those six, three were women, making up exactly half.

Given the male-to-female ratio in the training camp, the proportion of girls in Xu Feng's little group of six was quite astonishing.

"Xu Feng, you actually charged all the way to first place. Awesome!" A tall, burly Chinese youth smiled and gave him a thumbs-up. "Just one word—awesome!"

"Junior Disciple Brother."

A white girl with long brown hair smiled at Xu Feng. She spoke fluent Mandarin. "This morning, lots of people in the cafeteria were talking about you. I never realized before just how amazing you were, Junior Disciple Brother. I have to learn from you. Let's practice knife techniques together this afternoon."

"Mo Qi, do you have your eye on Xu Feng?" Another white girl laughed. "Mo Qi is asking you on a date. Don't miss your chance."

"So what if I do?" Mo Qi raised her brows.

"Oh."

"Haha, Junior Disciple Brother Xu Feng, why aren't you seizing the chance?" The others immediately began teasing him. There were very few female students in the training camp, and the male students were very willing to marry female students. After all, anyone in the Elite Training Camp would definitely become a War God in the future. If a War God married another War God, their children's prospects would also be excellent.

Xu Feng was speechless.

Western girls really were bolder and more proactive.

Including the ones he had received on the way here, this was already the seventh confession he had received, whether direct or subtle.

One of them had even come from a female teacher at the training camp.

"Sister Fang."

Jiang Fang, dressed in a purple training uniform, walked in from outside with a smile. "Today is the 29th, and all six of you are here. Mm, Xu Feng, not bad. Yesterday was truly insane. You set a new record for our training camp!"

This knife technique class did not end until ten thirty.

Everyone left one after another.

"Xu Feng, wait a moment." Jiang Fang spoke. The other five students left, leaving only Xu Feng behind. "Teacher." Xu Feng looked at Jiang Fang in confusion.

Jiang Fang smiled at Xu Feng, her eyes narrowing with delight. For a teacher to receive such an outstanding disciple was something that made her happy. Jiang Fang softly said, "Xu Feng, you managed to charge into first place in your very first month, and you are only eighteen years old. Even if you come from the Xu Family of the HR Alliance, I can imagine that every nation and organization in the world will extend an olive branch to you."

"Mm." Xu Feng nodded.

"However, I want to remind you of something," Jiang Fang said.

"Please tell me, Teacher." Xu Feng was curious about what Teacher Jiang Fang wanted to remind him of.

Jiang Fang said, "The Elite Training Camp was established by the Limitless Martial Arts School. Although the school has agreements with various nations and the HR Alliance to compete fairly for talent, someone like you will absolutely not be allowed by the Limitless Martial Arts School to join another organization so easily. And I advise you not to accept invitations from other organizations either. It would be best for you to join the Limitless Martial Arts School."

Although Xu Feng had originally been a member of the Limitless Martial Arts School.

That did not mean he had to remain in the Limitless Martial Arts School for his entire life. For example, after entering the Elite Training Camp, he had the right to accept invitations from other organizations.

"Why?" Xu Feng asked.

"Because the conditions the Limitless Martial Arts School can offer you will be the best," Jiang Fang said with a smile.

"The best?" Xu Feng pretended to be curious.

"Of course." Jiang Fang nodded. "Because our Headmaster is the strongest person in the world. Whether it is Ancient Civilization Ruins, strange treasures, or other valuable items, the Headmaster always obtains the most. For example, Dragon Blood—our Headmaster is the only one in the world who publicly sells it and supplies it."

Xu Feng naturally understood what Jiang Fang meant. After all, Headmaster Hong was the world's greatest tycoon.

In terms of money, the HR Alliance might have more than the Limitless Martial Arts School, but when it came to treasures, Hong definitely had more.

Especially treasures such as the Primordial Intelligent Fighter, the Psychic Master Basic Chapter, and the Shield Sky Shuttle,
