"That was exhilarating."
Thunder God laughed and continued to charge forward. The fierce battle raged on, the booming sounds of sabers and staffs clashing reverberating through the air.
Bodies collided, and sparks of inspiration ignited. All of this allowed Bai Yue to improve rapidly, his moves becoming more fluid, his movement techniques more strategic. This was combat experience, something that couldn't be gained through arduous training alone; it could only be understood through intense clashes.
Although it seemed Bai Yue had the upper hand, that wasn't the case. Firstly, Thunder God wasn't using the full power of a Planet Level Seventh Order fighter, only an equivalent of a Planet Level First Order. Secondly, Bai Yue was already using his full strength, but even with 13 times the force, he couldn't even scratch Thunder God. The gap between major levels was like an unbridgeable chasm.
Inside Hong's primordial intelligent fighter jet, after the sparring match with Thunder God ended, Bai Yue was utterly exhausted. He drank the tea stored in the fighter jet to recover some energy, then looked at Thunder God, who appeared unfazed. His recent surge of confidence subsided considerably.
I'm still too weak. I must break through to Planet Level as soon as possible, or even higher. Planet Level is only dominant in a small place like Earth; in the universe, it's nothing.
Originally, he had wanted to spar with Hong as well, but the level difference was too great. One side had to suppress their strength, while the other couldn't even break through the defenses despite using their full power. The effect wouldn't be good, so he could only challenge Hong after breaking through to Planet Level.
"Your current strength has already reached the level of a Council Member. I'm planning to make you the sixth Inspector of my Limit Martial Hall," Hong said to Bai Yue from the side.
"But I haven't broken through to Planet Level yet. While I'm confident I can break through, it won't happen overnight. Besides, my teacher hasn't fulfilled his responsibilities yet. Let's announce the news after I break through to Planet Level." He decided to stay at the Elite Training Camp for a while longer, as he had just agreed to guide the trainees.
"Very well. Since you're confident, I won't try to persuade you otherwise. Break through soon." Hong agreed.
"If an Inspector position isn't feasible, then you can serve as the Inspector of Hongning Base City for now. Find some time to hunt a few monsters, get your certification level up, and join the War God Palace," Hong continued to remind him.
Hongning Base City was usually managed by one Inspector. His position as Inspector was a nominal one, which suited him perfectly, giving him more free time.
In the following period, besides hunting monsters in the Wilderness Area to hone his martial skills and complete his level certification, Bai Yue truly began to integrate into the Elite Training Camp. Whenever he had time, he would go to the training hall to guide the trainees.
Time flew by, and it was March 28th. A new trainee, Luo Feng, arrived at the entrance of the Elite Training Camp. He was currently stunned by the black dragon statue, completely unaware of Bai Yue's arrival.
"Luo Feng, you're finally here! Quite a shock, isn't it? This is the eyeball of a King Level Monster." Walking closer, Bai Yue patted Luo Feng's shoulder and said with a smile to the stunned Luo Feng. He had been notified when Luo Feng was coming and only then realized the time had arrived, so he waited for Luo Feng at the entrance.
"Inspector," Yang Hui said respectfully from the side, also surprised to see Bai Yue there.
"Inspector?" Luo Feng exclaimed in surprise. He had always thought Bai Yue was just studying at the Elite Training Camp. When did he become an Inspector? He knew that in Jiangnan Base City, an Inspector was the highest rank.
"You two already know each other, so I won't introduce you. Bai Yue has already been appointed as the Inspector of Hongning Base City." Seeing that they knew each other and realizing they were from the same place, he understood and spoke to them.
"Congratulations, Old Bai. Looks like I have a backup when I get here." Luo Feng smiled after speaking.
"These are minor matters. Congratulations on joining the Elite Training Camp as well." Without dwelling on the matter, Bai Yue also congratulated Luo Feng.
"It's not certain yet. I have to pass a test to stay." They walked and talked.
"That little test won't stop you." Bai Yue said casually, knowing the outcome. His confidence in this regard was even stronger than Luo Feng's.
Although Luo Feng didn't know why Bai Yue was so confident in him, he felt relieved. Since Bai Yue said so, he must be able to pass.
Following the same procedure as when Bai Yue first arrived, Luo Feng was arranged accommodation. As it was a bit late today, the test would be conducted tomorrow.
As a trainee, Luo Feng naturally didn't have the privilege of a standalone villa. He was arranged to live in Jiangnan Pavilion, where all trainees from Jiangnan Base City resided.
After Yang Hui left, only Luo Feng and Bai Yue remained. They chatted for a while. Unlike Bai Yue's secluded cultivation at the Elite Training Camp, Luo Feng's experiences over the past six months had been tumultuous.
"Oh, right. I asked someone to order a few bottles of Water of Life from America. When they arrive, come and get one for Luo Hua to use." He had joined the War God Palace during this time and met some War Gods, which allowed him to arrange for the purchase of Water of Life.
Seeing Luo Feng's hesitation again, he continued, "Why are you being so formal with your own brother? Do you still see me as an outsider? Luo Hua is my brother too."
"Then I won't be polite. I'll just treat it as taking advantage of a rich man." Although he said that, he kept Bai Yue's gratitude in his heart.
After chatting for a while and arranging to accompany Luo Feng to the test tomorrow, Bai Yue bid farewell and left.
The next day, on the ninth floor of the Nine-Layered Pagoda, Bai Yue led Luo Feng to a room equipped with a consciousness sensor and introduced him to its usage.
Inside the virtual space, an endless silver-white land stretched out. The seven-story Trial Tower still stood tall. The space rippled slightly, and Luo Feng and Bai Yue appeared before the Trial Tower.
"This is the Trial Tower. In the virtual space, everyone's physical fitness is at the Beginner Warlord level. The higher you climb, the higher your force exertion level." Bai Yue explained to Luo Feng.
As they spoke, they arrived at the base of the Trial Tower's entrance. Information about them immediately appeared on the black stone pillars. After looking at his own information and then seeing Bai Yue's high Trial Tower level of eight, Luo Feng asked in surprise, voicing his question.
"Old Bai, why is your Trial Tower level eight?"
"Otherwise, why do you think I became an Inspector? This is the answer: clearing the Trial Tower." He paused and then added, "Before this, even Hong, who was the highest, only reached the sixth floor."
"Each floor of the Trial Tower is divided into three stages: A, B, and C. To stay in the Elite Training Camp, you need to pass the B-level trial on the first floor. Now, let's choose your combat suit and weapons." Without letting Luo Feng continue to be surprised, Bai Yue said to him.
After choosing his weapons and combat suit, Luo Feng was teleported into the tower for the test. Undoubtedly, this was not difficult for Luo Feng.
After just completing the Trial Tower test, Luo Feng finally understood what the Trial Tower level represented. He looked at Bai Yue beside him and exclaimed, "I really don't know how you trained to be able to clear the entire Trial Tower."
"Haha, your progress isn't slow either. In less than a year, your Mental Power has reached the Intermediate War God level. Tsk tsk tsk, there aren't many on the entire Earth like that!" Feeling Luo Feng's immense Mental Power, Bai Yue said it directly.
"Old Bai, you...!" Luo Feng panicked inwardly. The 100 billion reward during this period had brought him immense mental pressure, but thinking that Bai Yue was the one who discovered it, his nervousness subsided.
"Don't worry, I haven't told anyone. I estimate you won't be able to hide it for long. I'm also a Mental Master, so I can sense it! However, the Experts among the Council Members can probably sense it too. Be prepared." He patted Luo Feng's shoulder, indicating that he had his support.
"Old Bai, you know?"
"Haha, the entire Warrior circle knows? A 100 billion reward is a first!" Bai Yue laughed heartily.
Looking at the laughing Bai Yue, Luo Feng wanted to ask if he wasn't tempted by the 100 billion. But then he thought about how Bai Yue had given him a bottle of Water of Life worth tens of billions, and he felt relieved, realizing Bai Yue wouldn't care about such things.
