Devouring the Starry Sky: Cultivation Makes Me Stronger — Chapter 36

A huge crowd instantly surged toward Luo Shen. Some gave him thumbs-ups, while others greeted him excitedly. As if by prior agreement, they all invited Luo Shen to join the factions they represented.

The benefits they offered were ridiculously good!

At this point, no one cared about Li Yao anymore.

With Luo Shen's talent, once he became a High-level War God in the future, he would undoubtedly be a Super Expert among War Gods. He might even become another Invincible War God!

What was a mere Li Yao worth!

Candice slunk out of the Challenge Room, intending to leave without drawing attention.

But then, a familiar young girl's sweet voice suddenly rang out. "Junior Brother Luo Shen, I never expected you to be this amazing. You even defeated Candice. There are some things I don't understand about saber techniques. Could you give me some pointers?"

Candice instinctively turned his head.

Crack! The surrounding students inexplicably seemed to hear the sound of glass shattering.

Have a great weekend, everyone!

On the first of the month, the Black Dragon Ranking opened once again!

Students whose code numbers ended in odd digits could head into the Wilderness Area to hunt monsters. Since both Luo Shen and Luo Feng had odd-numbered codes, they joined forces and went out together, just like they had back in the Fire Hammer Squad.

One was a High-level Warlord Mind Controller, while the other was a High-level Warlord with War God-level combat strength.

During the half month Luo Shen had spent in the Training Camp, the growth of his physical fitness had not slowed. Under the instinctive effects of the Five Hearts Vortex, it had continued improving at a rapid pace.

When he was tested the day before yesterday, his punching power had already crossed the threshold for a High-level Warlord.

The two of them joined forces.

Dealing with Beast General Level monsters in the wilderness city naturally came easily to them.

Not to mention that they had originally come from the same squad and had experience fighting together. In a short time, they hunted a large number of Beast General Level monsters, the overwhelming majority of which were High-level Beast General Level.

By evening, the two returned to the Training Camp carrying backpacks full of monster materials.

Having passed an A-grade trial and displayed 2.8 times bodily force exertion, Luo Feng's ranking among the students who had gone out to hunt monsters that day had even risen into the top ten. His ranking on the Black Dragon Ranking had also surged into the top 100.

Though it was only temporary, a newcomer had entered the Training Camp's top 100 in his very first month.

That was quite a commotion!

As for Luo Shen.

Although he had likewise hunted a large amount of monster material, he had yet to undergo the Trial Tower assessment or test his Punching Power Level. As a result, his Combat Power Amplitude was only 1, and his ranking on the leaderboard was not particularly remarkable.

Of course, no one dared overlook this extraordinary newcomer who had defeated an old student ranked in the top fifty immediately after entering the camp!

"A-Shen, are you really planning to use your Trial Tower assessment privilege tomorrow?"

On the way back to their residences, Luo Feng asked in confusion, "We just entered the camp, and there's still room for our strength to improve. Isn't it a little too early to use the assessment privilege now?"

New students all had the privilege of taking the Trial Tower level assessment during their first month.

Most students chose to use that assessment privilege around the middle or end of the month in order to maximize its efficiency as much as possible!

Because the assessment privilege only gave them one chance!

Once they died partway through, they would not get a second chance to try again.

Luo Shen shook his head and explained, "It looks like the Trial Tower assessment can continue indefinitely as long as you don't die, but in reality, it can only be used for one hour—from noon to one in the afternoon."

After one o'clock in the afternoon, it would be time for other students to use the Trial Tower.

Any student still inside the virtual Trial Tower would quickly be kicked out as soon as another student entered.

"Since there's only one hour in total, it doesn't make much difference to me whether I take the assessment at the beginning or end of the month." Luo Shen sounded helpless.

With his strength.

At least before reaching the third floor, he would not face much of an obstacle.

But after reaching the third floor, there would still be six trials in between. Even if each trial took an average of only eight minutes, that would still take forty minutes. Not to mention that the C-grade trial on every floor required killing 200 monsters. There was simply no way to clear it in eight minutes.

So the one hour granted by the Trial Tower assessment privilege was fundamentally not enough!

"After you finish the assessment, your ranking on the Black Dragon Ranking will probably rise into the top fifty, right?"

Luo Feng said enviously.

Yang Hui had told him that the vast majority of Training Camp students were still wandering around the first floor. Once Luo Shen passed the first two floors, coupled with his extremely high Punching Power Level, his Combat Power Amplitude would definitely exceed 12!

That was an achievement many Training Camp students could only reach in their fourth year.

Breaking into the top fifty would be no challenge at all!

"We'll know once we see the ranking changes tomorrow." Luo Shen smiled. "I'll head back first. I'm covered in monster blood. I need to wash up and change into a clean set of clothes."

"Okay!" Luo Feng replied.

The two returned to their respective residences.

At eleven thirty the next day at noon.

After finishing lunch in the cafeteria and turning down date invitations from a group of senior sisters, Luo Shen headed alone toward the Nine-story Tower.

Along the way, quite a few students warmly greeted Luo Shen.

These prodigies also understood the ways of the world.

Luo Shen had defeated Candice immediately after entering the camp, before receiving any special training. His Combat Power Amplitude was clearly extremely high, at the very least reaching the exceptional level of a third-year student!

Most importantly, Luo Shen was only eighteen this year!

He was already this formidable now.

What about the future?

Thus, many smart students had begun thinking of building a good relationship with Luo Shen. Some merely wanted to form a positive connection, while others wanted to recruit Luo Shen into their own factions. Regardless, Luo Shen had already become a notable figure in the Training Camp.

The ninth floor of the Nine-story Tower.

Only a few Black students had just finished training and remained in the hall to spar.

"Huh, Luo Shen, why are you here in the middle of the day?" a young Black man called out. His gaze instinctively shifted toward the trial room. He knew Luo Shen was a new student and had the privilege of taking the Trial Tower assessment in his first month.

Luo Shen smiled. "Just as you think."

With that, he walked toward the trial room.

After the trial room scanned and verified his identity, the door unlocked automatically with a click. Luo Shen pushed it open and walked inside.

"I didn't expect Luo Shen to enter the trial room and use his Trial Tower level assessment privilege so quickly."

The young Black man who had spoken to Luo Shen looked utterly puzzled. "Why would he use his assessment privilege so early? Don't most students only use their level assessment privilege after confirming that their strength can't improve much in the short term?"

"Who knows? Maybe that's the difference between us and geniuses?"

"I'd like to see just how far his Black Dragon Ranking can rise. I heard that the other newcomer, Luo Feng, entered the top 100 yesterday. I think Luo Shen will have no trouble breaking into the top eighty!"

"Even Candice made it into the top fifty. Luo Shen can't possibly be worse than him—at least top fifty!"

The young Black men discussed the matter animatedly in their native language, chattering away with differing opinions. Yet without exception, they all thought highly of Luo Shen.

"What's there to argue about? Just go check the Black Dragon Ranking when it refreshes!"

One of them reminded the others.

"Right, right!"

"Let's go to the Black Dragon Carving!"

The Black students hurried down the stairs and headed toward the Black Dragon Carving at the Training Camp's main entrance. Although it was difficult for a newcomer to enter the top 100 during their first month in the Training Camp, they were all brimming with confidence in Luo Shen.

Could a super newcomer capable of defeating an old student ranked in the top fifty possibly perform poorly?

Impossible!

Meanwhile, as the Black students hurried toward the Black Dragon Carving, they kept calling friends and spreading the word.

The news that Luo Shen was about to undergo the Trial Tower level assessment spread throughout the entire Training Camp in an instant. Whether it was Candice, who held a grudge against Luo Shen, or other students curious about him, they all rushed toward the Black Dragon Carving.

They all wanted to know.

After this super newcomer Luo Shen completed the Trial Tower level assessment, just how far could he go!

Chapter One Delivered

Inside the trial room.

Luo Shen turned on the lights, lay directly on the sofa, picked up the Mind Sensor Helmet, and put it on.

On the boundless silver ground, beneath a sky of endless cosmic stars, the only structure was a seven-story giant tower standing proudly, as if it wanted to pierce the heavens—the Trial Tower!
