Hongning Base City

The Polenas Family worked efficiently.

As soon as they notified Vinina, they immediately contacted the upper management of Limit Martial Hall through HR Alliance channels to negotiate for a spot in the Elite Training Camp. With 70 billion Huaxia Coins in cash and footage of Vinina fighting the Blood-Stained Black Wolf, Limit Martial Hall quickly gave its response.

This year's slots for America had basically already been decided, so they could not spare an additional one. However, given Vinina's performance, they could offer her an opportunity: Limit Martial Hall's B-level Trial.

If Vinina passed, she could enter the Elite Training Camp.

If she failed, she could join the Basic Training Camp, reserve a place in next year's Elite Training Camp, and take the A-level Trial next year. If she passed, she could then join the Elite Training Camp.

As for what if she could not even pass the A-level Trial?

Then she should forget about going in.

Pulling strings was one thing, but if she could not even meet the most basic requirements, she could go stay wherever she pleased.

The news left Vinina feeling somewhat helpless.

What she wanted was the foreign professional army controlled by the Polenas Family, using fighting spirit to temper her soul and will. Who could have known that the Polenas Family would refuse outright, then secure her a place in Limit Martial Hall's Elite Training Camp instead?

This...

Forget it. She would go with the flow.

Vinina shook her head slightly, already having made up her mind.

After all, compared with directly controlling an army and using combat strength to temper her soul and will, the Elite Training Camp had its own unique advantages. Those were the devices excavated from Ancient Civilization Ruins, especially the Gravity Room and Trial Tower. They might have been terribly outdated in the Vast Universe, but on Earth, they were immensely precious.

So precious that even a core HR Alliance family like the Polenas Family was not qualified to access them. Naturally, Vinina had never had the chance to experience them.

Now that she had the opportunity, there was no harm in trying.

At most, it would only take a few years. Moreover, the Elite Training Camp naturally had guards and Martial Artists. Though they would not obey her, using their fighting spirit to temper herself should not be much of a problem.

Together with the opportunities that existed on Earth in the Original Work...

With so many advantages stacked together, she probably would not remain in the Elite Training Camp for long.

With that in mind, Vinina made an inquiry through her communication watch.

"When will I take the B-level Trial?"

"Tomorrow. But you need to set out today for Limit Martial Hall's global headquarters—Hongning Base City."

Vinina nodded slightly.

Whether it was the Basic Training Camp or the Elite Training Camp, only Lightning Martial Hall and Limit Martial Hall had the ability to establish them. The Basic Training Camps were jointly operated with various countries, so there were ten in total, spread across the five major continents. The Elite Training Camp, however, existed only at the martial hall headquarters. Since Vinina was taking the B-level Trial, she naturally needed to travel to Hongning Base City.

Hongning Base City was located in western Asia, relatively close to Europe. For Vinina, who was in North America, flying was naturally her only option. Thus, when the plane arrived at Washington Base City's airport, Vinina headed out under the protection of Li Xun and Justin.

She entered the airport, passed the ticket check, and boarded the plane.

There was nothing special about the process. The only difference from the airports of her previous life was that there was only one plane on this enormous tarmac.

Still, that was normal.

There were currently very few large passenger aircraft on Earth. Even a massive base city like Washington Base City, with a population of two hundred million, only handled a dozen or so flights each month. And with ordinary tickets costing 10 million Huaxia Coins and first-class tickets costing 20 million Huaxia Coins, they were not something ordinary people could afford.

Naturally, Vinina was flying first class.

Even so, the seats were only so wide—about the same as second-class seats on a high-speed train in her previous life.

"If you want to watch a movie, put on the glasses. If not, just rest. The flight will take about two hours."

The High-level War God inspector from Limit Martial Hall seated beside Vinina reminded her of this, then closed his eyes.

Vinina put on her headphones but muted the sound, turning instead to practice the Guidance Technique.

The two hours passed in an instant. The passenger plane arrived safely at Hongning Base City, gradually descending until it landed at Hongning Base City's airport.

A dedicated Limit Martial Hall vehicle had already been waiting at the airport entrance.

It was an extended Cadillac.

Through the window, Vinina watched the city scenery as the person from Limit Martial Hall beside her gave an introduction.

"Hongning Base City began as a simple base city established by the Hall Master and a group of followers during the Great Nirvana. They allowed many refugees to join them, and as time passed, Hongning Base City grew larger and larger, while its facilities became increasingly complete."

"And because the Hall Master is here, Hongning Base City is the safest base city in the world!"

"To this day, not a single King-level Monster has dared set foot within Hongning Base City's boundaries."

As he spoke, his face was filled with confidence.

Vinina nodded slightly as well.

It was the truth.

The strongest monsters on Earth were merely the so-called Emperor-level Monsters in the ocean. Their realms were only around mid-Planetary level. Though Hong was also at mid-Planetary level, comparable to them, Hong possessed a complete domain. In Babata's words, he was invincible at the Planetary level!

With such an overwhelming disparity in strength, naturally no King-level Monster would come seeking death.

"We're here at the training camp. Let's get out."

While they had been chatting, the car had already reached the entrance of the Elite Training Camp. The man beside her opened the door and got out, and Vinina followed closely behind.

The moment she entered the training camp, a gigantic dragon sculpture filled her vision. Beneath its enormous body, nearly fifty meters long, its beastly eyes stared fixedly at Vinina as she stepped through the gates. A dark, violent aura spread out, pressing heavily upon her.

Vinina's body tensed involuntarily.

Even though she clearly knew that this dragon sculpture was merely an inanimate object, and that the pair of beast eyes watching her came from an SS-class, King-level Monster that Hong had killed long ago, her body still instinctively tensed.

"The little girl has quite a strong will."

The man glanced at Vinina and could not help praising her after seeing her reaction. He then explained, "This Black Dragon Engraving is made entirely from relatively precious materials, but the truly special part is its eyes."

"They are the eyes of a genuine SS-class monster. After the Hall Master killed it, he kept its two dragon eyes and embedded them into this dragon sculpture."

"When it was designed, the dragon eyes were deliberately placed here, directly facing the entrance. So any newcomer entering for the first time will inevitably meet their gaze if they look up, and be frightened by their aura."

"But you could face them without taking a step back, your expression unchanged."

"Tsk. As expected of a Battle Maniac who sought breakthroughs between life and death!"

Battle Maniac?

Vinina was briefly stunned, then shrugged indifferently.

Titles were unimportant. Besides, Battle Maniac was indeed quite fitting for her.
