After taking the train through the supply base, Vinina and her group quickly returned to the base city. At the HR Alliance in the city, they sold off the materials from that Blood-Stained Black Wolf.

This was mainly to certify her Low-level Battle General title.

Whether it was Warrior, Battle General, or War God, certification for each level was based not on physical fitness, but on actual combat records against monsters. Only by personally killing the corresponding monster and handing over its most important materials could one receive the title.

There were undoubtedly loopholes in this process. For example, if Vinina ordered Li Xun or Justin to kill a High-level Beast General monster, then bought its most important materials from them, she could easily be rated as a High-level Battle General.

But what would be the point?

Without the corresponding strength, what could one do even with an artificially obtained impressive title?

Those important positions would not be directly assigned to someone just because of a title.

Just as Vinina was certifying her Low-level Battle General status, the Polenas Family held an impromptu video conference regarding her future arrangements.

The meeting was not large, but nearly all of the Polenas Family's upper management attended.

They had no choice. At just sixteen years old, after completing her first Gene Primal Energy Cultivation session, her Punch Power had increased by 2,300 kilograms, reaching the top standard of the Intermediate Warrior level. Then, in less than a month, she had fought a Primary Beast General-level Blood-Stained Black Wolf head-on and won!

Vinina's rate of improvement was simply too fast.

"Everyone has watched the video. Speak your minds."

The current head of the Polenas Family sat upright at the table. His gaze swept across the video call windows as he spoke. "Vinina herself wishes to join the foreign legion controlled by the family and take charge of one of its Martial Artist squads."

"No."

"Reject her."

"With talent like hers, she wants to lead a Martial Artist squad? What is she thinking?"

The Polenas Family's upper management spoke one after another. Their words varied, but their stance was clear—reject her!

A Martial Artist squad in the foreign legion?

They were all family executives. Who did not know that such a position amounted to being a family thug, not even a high-level thug? It was merely a channel through which the Polenas Family recruited lower-level Martial Artists. The Martial Artists within, whether in strength or talent, were at the most basic level. And they wanted sixteen-year-old Vinina, a Low-level Battle General, to take charge of it?

Not only would the upper management of the Direct Descendant branch Vinina belonged to refuse, even the executives of other factions could not possibly agree.

It was utterly absurd.

"Yes, I rejected her outright as well."

The Polenas Family head nodded slightly, then looked at everyone. "So, what are your thoughts regarding Vinina?"

"She is definitely unsuitable for an internal family post. A sixteen-year-old Low-level Battle General cannot be managed by the Battle General-level Martial Artists employed by the family."

"Patriarch, do you mean the Basic Training Camp?"

"No. I mean the Elite Training Camp."

The Polenas Family head fell silent for a moment before slowly speaking. "This year, one slot at the Limit Martial Hall's Elite Training Camp is still pending. I want to secure it for Vinina."

The moment those words fell, they caused an uproar.

"The Elite Training Camp?"

"Isn't that a little too soon?"

"For now, the Basic Training Camp should be enough for her. Besides, securing a slot in the Elite Training Camp would come at no small cost."

"Exactly!"

Voices of doubt rose one after another.

That was perfectly normal.

The gap between the Basic Training Camp and the Elite Training Camp was enormous. The former was only responsible for recruiting talented individuals from around the world and giving them the best training available. What corresponded to it were the Special Training Contracts of the Lightning Martial Hall and the Limit Martial Hall.

Although the requirements were high, Earth had billions of people. With such a vast population base, quite a few entered each year. In a large base city like Washington Base City, with a population of around two hundred million, five or six talented Martial Artists would be recruited into the Basic Training Camp of the Lightning Martial Hall or the Limit Martial Hall every year.

But the Elite Training Camp was completely different!

Every member it recruited was a genius among geniuses, even deserving to be called a monster. Matching that were teaching resources that could only be described as terrifying!

Simply put, anyone who joined the Elite Training Camp would be taught by at least War God-level instructors. Council Member-level experts who surpassed the War God level would occasionally give lessons as well. Even the world's strongest expert, Hong, and the second strongest, Thor, would be invited to teach!

Likewise, it possessed the most advanced equipment on Earth. Some of it had even been excavated from Ancient Civilization Ruins. It could be said that once someone joined, they would receive instruction from the best teachers, support from the best equipment, and the finest Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

As long as they were not eliminated or died midway, they would almost certainly become a War God in the future!

Thus, the Elite Training Camp was also known as the War God Preparatory Camp.

But with so many benefits, its slots were naturally extraordinarily valuable. Normally, a large base city like Washington Base City, with two hundred million people, would average only one entrant every five years!

The Polenas Family head had said it lightly, but setting aside the connections and favors required to truly secure that slot, the cash expenditure alone would not be less than fifty billion Huaxia Coin!

Of course, while the upper management of the other factions voiced their doubts, the executives of the Direct Descendant branch were not idle either.

"Too soon?"

"It is indeed too soon!"

"She is sixteen. Less than a month has passed since she completed her first Gene Primal Energy Cultivation session, yet her physical fitness already rivals that of a Low-level Battle General. In that same period of less than a month, she mastered the entry level of Annihilation and gained control of the first layer."

"With talent like that, you are telling me the Basic Training Camp is enough?"

"Enough my ass!"

"Do you not know the Basic Training Camp lists issued by the Limit Martial Hall and Lightning Martial Hall this year? How old are the people on them?"

"Seventeen, eighteen, nineteen, twenty!"

"And their strength? Intermediate Warriors and Advanced Warriors!"

"There is not even a single Low-level Battle General among them!"

"The cost is too high? What, were you expecting it to breed for you?"

Those retorts and challenges left the upper management of the other factions somewhat speechless. The scales began to tip.

That was perfectly normal. Vinina's performance was right there for all to see. The Basic Training Camp—

It really was a little too shabby.

If she had been with the Lightning Martial Hall or the Limit Martial Hall, she would probably have signed a Special Training Contract and entered the Basic Training Camp the moment she succeeded in her first Gene Primal Energy Cultivation session.

But there was no helping it. Whether it was the Basic Training Camp or the Elite Training Camp, both were run by the Limit Martial Hall and the Lightning Martial Hall themselves. For them to reserve slots for the Polenas Family required an enormous price.

In the end, the discussion was concluded by the Polenas Family head.

Namely:

They would spare no effort to secure a slot in the Elite Training Camp, while Vinina would prepare herself to face the upcoming A-rank assessment of the Limit Martial Hall!
