Chen Hao had no idea how great a stir his actions had caused.

"Student Chen Hao, these materials included 12 high Lord Level sets, 36 mid-level Lord Level sets, and 64 low-level Lord Level sets. The total comes to 578.6 billion, and your contribution points are likewise 57.86 million." The staff member trembled slightly as he reported the final figure.

"Fine. Reassess my Martial Artist rank and update it. Transfer the money to my account."

"Yes, sir. The money has already been transferred to your account, so please check it. Your Martial Artist rank information has also been updated. You may look it up directly."

Xiao Mei's voice sounded in Chen Hao's mind. "Master, your Martial Artist information has been updated. Your account has received 578.6 billion Huaxia Currency, and your contribution points have increased by 57.86 million."

Chen Hao had no idea how much of a sensation the change in his Martial Artist rank certification had caused!

"A nineteen-year-old high-level God of War?"

"He can definitely become a Councilor Rank!"

"Is China about to gain another Councilor Rank powerhouse?"

In the virtual space, inside a massive silver-white conference hall, stood six enormous chairs. Five white-robed figures sat in five of them. Of those five, three were Chinese, one was white, and one was black.

A Chinese man in white spoke first. "Everyone, this is Chen Hao's file. His Trial Tower level is three, and his force exertion level is 3.5. In other words, his combat power amplitude is 10.5, an excellent rating."

"That guy nearly wiped out every Lord-level Monster in City 1001!" said the black man in a white robe helplessly.

"Wang, I do not agree with giving him the highest-tier contract benefits. Since he directly underwent God of War Rank certification, he can only graduate from the Training Camp. At most, we can give him the position of Overseer and let him choose where he wants to go." The white man in the white robe disagreed with the proposal from the three Chinese representatives.

"Vladimir, I do not think the treatment I offered Chen Hao is excessive. You must understand that he is a Spiritual Thought Master—a Spiritual Thought Master with the strength of an Invincible War God! If we do not show him the Martial Hall's sincerity now, do you think no one else will poach him? Do not forget that Chen Hao has only been with our Martial Hall for one month. He has used pitifully few of our Martial Hall's resources." Inspector Wang immediately retorted.

The group argued endlessly around the conference table. The Chinese inspectors wanted to show tremendous sincerity in recruiting Chen Hao.

However, the two foreign inspectors disagreed. Their reasoning was that Chen Hao knew the Training Camp's rules but had still undergone God of War Rank certification. That clearly meant he intended to leave the Training Camp, so he should not enjoy the resources the Training Camp provided to geniuses.

"Stop arguing!" At that moment, a stunning mixed-race beauty with a figure no less impressive than Jiang Fang's and a mask on her face appeared in the virtual space.

"Chen Hao has already applied to go to Site 9. What kind of resources do you think the Training Camp can still offer him? This matter ends here. Once the Chief Hall Master emerges from seclusion, I will report it to him."

The five people in the room exchanged looks. "Big Sister Yao Rao, there is no need to alarm the Chief Hall Master over this, is there?"

Yao Rao shot them a cold glance. "You must understand that the Hall Master established the Training Camp to discover geniuses, not to let you scheme against one another here. Watch yourselves."

"Boss Yao Rao, this is not our fault. Chen Hao has been at the Training Camp for far too short a time—just over a week. Moreover, he had not gone into the wilderness to hunt monsters before this. He was also ranked dead last on the Black Dragon Ranking. If we rewarded him, that would not comply with the rules."

"Do not tell me that. That is your business. I hope you will still say the same thing when the Hall Master emerges from seclusion and questions you!" With that, Yao Rao, the Chief Hall Master's personal guard, left the virtual space.

"If you two had not been here making trouble, Chen Hao's reward would have been decided long ago. Now look at this—we have alarmed Big Sister Yao Rao. This time, we will definitely catch hell from the Chief Hall Master." Inspector Wang's tone carried a hint of mockery.

"Wang, do not put all the blame on us. If you had not submitted your proposal so late, how could we have waited for Boss Yao Rao to intervene before reaching a decision? Chen Hao is from China, after all." The white inspector spread his hands, sounding utterly innocent.

After hearing that, Inspector Wang's face flushed red. He practically wanted to strangle the man. "You really never change. No matter how strong you are, the moment responsibility is investigated, you put on that shameless rogue act."

"No, no, no. You know me. Everyone knows I love supporting talented juniors the most..."

In the living room of Chen Hao's home at Jiangnan Pavilion, two men and two women were seated.

"Chen Hao, you really are astonishing. You made such a huge move all at once. I bet everyone in the Training Camp was severely shaken by this news." Shi Jiang looked at the calm and composed Chen Hao, feeling speechless inside.

"Hahahaha! Chen Hao, you did not see it when they first heard the news. Those idiots in the Nine Heavens Tower looked like their parents had died. It was hilarious—I nearly laughed myself to death!" Zhao Ruo burst into laughter.

Jiang Fang merely looked at Chen Hao without speaking. She had long known about his strength. His rise had been too rapid; he was like an unfathomable mystery.

At that moment, Chen Hao's combat watch received a call. He checked it and found it was an unfamiliar number. Just as he learned the caller's identity, Jiang Fang suddenly said, "Chen Hao, answer it."

Chen Hao was slightly taken aback, but he accepted the call. A cool yet seductive voice came through. "Student Chen Hao, where are you now? Are you still at home? I am Yao Rao, the Chief Hall Master's personal guard."

"So it is Lady Yao Rao. May I ask what you need from me?" It was both unexpected and understandable that Yao Rao would call him.

"Since you are at home, I will come to you. I will be there soon." She then ended the call.

Jiang Fang spoke up. "I told Sister Yao Rao about your situation. You did not even discuss it with me before directly getting certified as a God of War and graduating from the Training Camp. There is simply no way for you to obtain the resources here anymore. Let us see what compensation Sister Yao Rao can get for you."

Chen Hao raised an eyebrow and looked at Jiang Fang. "Sister Fang, you do not need to worry about me. I have never thought much of the Training Camp's resources. Whether it is Jade Marrow, Dragon Blood, an S-Rank Combat Suit, or the Black God Set, none of them are particularly important to me."

At that moment, a voice came from above Jiangnan Pavilion. "With your identity as a Spiritual Thought Master and an Invincible War God, you indeed have no use for the Training Camp's resources. As for the Black God Set, you have already applied to go to Site 9. That place is extremely dangerous for Martial Artists, but Spiritual Thought Masters have never suffered an accident there. Obtaining a Black God Set will be effortless for you. You are qualified to say that!"

Thanks to Cunning Orange and Freedom's Strange for their valuable monthly votes.
