Training Camp

Following Yang Hui through the Training Camp, Bai Yue found that despite its name, it was actually an ancient palace group. Every corner was exquisitely maintained, with rare flowers and unusual plants scattered throughout. Flowing streams, small bridges, pavilions, and towers created a new vista at every step.

Besides the main palaces, there were also elegant little towers. Young men and women in training uniforms came and went from time to time, representing all kinds of ethnicities.

It was not difficult to see that these young people were the Training Camp's students.

"Look, this is the Nine-Layered Pagoda." Yang Hui pointed at an enormous nine-story tower as he spoke to Bai Yue.

"The Nine-Layered Pagoda is where the students study and train. Some special training rooms are inside."

As they spoke, they arrived at the building's entrance. After entering, they headed straight to the elevators and took one to the ninth floor.

Soon, the elevator reached the ninth floor. With a ding, the doors opened, and the two of them stepped out.

The ninth floor was a spacious hall with several mats laid out inside. Many young men and women were sitting around chatting. Since they came from different places, all kinds of languages could be heard. When they saw the two enter, quite a few turned to look at them.

"Chinese?"

"Probably here to take the assessment. Looks like China is getting another one." Some students whispered among themselves.

Ignoring them, Yang Hui led Bai Yue to the very back of the hall. There was a corridor there, with rooms lining both sides. They walked to the final room.

The room was not large, containing only two sofas. With a click, Yang Hui switched on the lights. A dark blue helmet rested on each sofa.

"This helmet was replicated by our human scientists after expending considerable effort. It imitates the consciousness sensor from a virtual-space device excavated from an ancient civilization relic." Yang Hui pointed at the helmets as he explained.

"Of course, for now we can only replicate the consciousness sensors. The mainframe itself was excavated from an ancient civilization relic. Only by using it can we connect to virtual space."

He had finally come into contact with it. Even after living two lives, this was Bai Yue's first time encountering something like this—something that had existed only in science fiction novels.

"Once you put it on, your consciousness will enter a virtual space with one hundred percent realism, no different from the real world," Yang Hui said.

The instant Bai Yue lay down on the sofa and put on the helmet, his consciousness descended into a silvery-white world. The next second, Yang Hui appeared beside him as well.

"This is the Trial Tower space, where students undergo assessments. If you're interested, you can try challenging it too," Yang Hui introduced.

Within the virtual space, everyone possessed the same physical fitness: that of a Beginner Warlord. The two arrived at the entrance to the Trial Tower, where words appeared on a black pillar to the left: Name: Bai Yue, Gender: Male, Status: Training Camp Instructor, Trial Tower Level: 1.

He then glanced at Yang Hui's: Name: Yang Hui, Gender: Male, Status: War God, Trial Tower Level: 3.2.

"The Trial Tower has seven floors in total. No one in the world has reached the seventh floor yet. Even Hong, the master of the hall, only made it to the sixth."

After looking up at the Trial Tower, Bai Yue stepped forward and began selecting combat gear and weapons. Since he was here, he intended to test himself.

As the space shifted, Bai Yue arrived on a vast grassland. "A-rank assessment: Kill fifty Wild Bulls within thirty minutes. All fifty are Beginner Beast General level. Good luck!"

As the announcement ended, fifty Wild Bulls charged across the grassland in a mighty wave. The ground trembled beneath their hooves. If he were struck head-on, he would likely be trampled into pulp in an instant.

"Looks like I can't make a single mistake. One mistake means certain death." Yet Bai Yue showed not the slightest trace of worry.

He raised his Alloy Great Spear and charged straight at them. The moment they met, the leading Wild Bull was pierced through with a single thrust. As the spearhead was pulled free, bright red blood sprayed out like a stream, and the Wild Bull collapsed at once.

However, the fall of one Wild Bull did not affect the charge of those behind it. They trampled over their companion's corpse and continued rushing toward Bai Yue. A blur of spear shadows flashed, and several more Wild Bulls fell. His footwork was like a butterfly dancing among flowers as he weaved and shifted through the herd. In just over two minutes, all fifty Wild Bulls had fallen.

Bai Yue stood atop a Wild Bull's corpse. The herd had not even touched him, and his clothes remained as neat as before.

"Time used: two minutes and twenty-seven seconds. Fifty Beginner Beast General-level Wild Bulls killed. A-rank assessment passed." The electronic voice sounded promptly.

"Next is the B-rank trial. Kill one hundred Beginner Beast General-level Wild Bulls within thirty minutes. Good luck." After a brief pause, the electronic voice continued.

The first three floors of the Trial Tower posed no obstacle to Bai Yue. Only when he reached the B-rank trial on the fourth floor did he finally meet defeat, dying beneath the monsters' jaws.

At the entrance to the Trial Tower, the space flickered, and Bai Yue reappeared. Yang Hui immediately asked, "How many floors did you pass?"

"Four floors, B-rank," Bai Yue answered truthfully.

"..." Yang Hui stared blankly, finally understanding why Bai Yue had come directly to become an instructor. At such a young age, he already possessed such a high force-amplification level. Yang Hui felt as though he could already see a powerhouse rising powerfully before his eyes!

The Training Camp had gained a new instructor, and within only a few days, most people had heard about it. However, few had actually met him. Bai Yue spent most of his time keeping to himself and cultivating at home. He only went out when he needed special equipment, always getting straight to the point without wasting time.

Given the intelligence-gathering capabilities of the major factions, information on Bai Yue was collected in a short time, causing quite a stir. It was foreseeable that as long as he did not perish, he would at minimum become an Invincible War God in the future. That was already among the strongest people on Earth beneath the several dozen council members.

Thus, overt and covert attempts at recruitment came one after another. Naturally, Bai Yue politely declined them all. What a joke—he had no time to play power games with them. Increasing his strength was his priority right now.

Within the Training Camp, the higher-ups all knew how highly Hong regarded Bai Yue, so they did their best to make things convenient for him. They also warned any factions that wanted to resort to underhanded measures.

Seeing the Training Camp's attitude, those factions restrained themselves somewhat. As time passed, the matter gradually faded away, allowing Bai Yue's life to return to peace so he could focus wholeheartedly on cultivation.

Immersed in fulfilling cultivation, Bai Yue lost track of time. In the blink of an eye, another half year passed. The Training Camp was already on break, and many students had gone home for the New Year. Only a small number remained at the Training Camp.

Bai Yue was one of them. After several months of intensive cultivation, he had mastered a great number of Martial Arts Secret Manuals, including the complete sets of World Extinction and Nine Heavens Thunder Blade.

One had been chosen for him by Hong, while the other was a complete manual he had purchased with his own money. As he continued practicing various manuals recently, he gradually discovered that they shared many common elements. The new manuals he learned brought very little new knowledge. Most of the people capable of creating manuals belonged to the same circle, so they must have exchanged ideas while creating them.

Thus, his focus shifted from learning new manuals to summarizing the gains he had made during this period.
