Sago Neheru

After passing the B-level Trial, Vinina had officially joined Limit Martial Hall's Elite Training Camp. Her instructor, Xue Ming, naturally began introducing her to the camp's general situation.

The key point was the camp's rankings!

This was also the sole criterion determining one's benefits in the Elite Training Camp!

Following the direction of Xue Ming's finger, Vinina looked at the rankings behind the Black Dragon Engraving. The person ranked first was Solidus Hamilton (271157).

Next was Keith Babor (270485).

Then:

NO.3: Yu Zhen (280558)

NO.4: Kolar Sanborn (280475)

None of the names looked familiar.

But that was normal. There were not many War God-level Martial Artists with roles in Swallowed Star's Earth arc to begin with. Besides, Luo Feng would not be born for another eight full years. By then, these Elite Training Camp students would either have fallen midway or become War Gods holding important posts across Earth. Who would have the time to appear in the Earth arc?

"Today is January 21st. Since you'll officially join the training camp on February 1st, 2030, the first four digits of your code name must be '3002.' As for the final two digits, since you're currently the only one joining in February, you may choose any two numbers you like."

"Then I'll take 01."

Vinina replied casually.

"01?"

Xue Ming nodded slightly. "Your student code name has been confirmed: 300201. The other procedures are already being processed."

That very day, the Black Dragon Engraving rankings gained their 147th name—NO.147 Vinina Polenas (300201).

In an instant, the privileged classes around the world received the news.

Among these privileged people were War God-level Martial Artists, leaders of special departments in the governments of the five major nations, and core members of several dozen important families within the HR Alliance.

Yet unlike other Elite Training Camp members, who would receive recruitment offers from government militaries, special organizations, and major families the moment they appeared, Vinina's situation remained as still as stagnant water. No one paid her any attention.

Vinina had grown used to that.

Now that she had become an official member of the Elite Training Camp, the temporary residence originally assigned to her was naturally no longer suitable. The residences within the camp were named after base cities, so Vinina followed Xue Ming to an old-fashioned courtyard. Above its entrance were two Chinese characters—Washington!

That certainly saved trouble. She did not need to add a single extra word.

"There is currently only one student living here, named Sago Neheru. You can ask him for guidance when you have the time. He's very strong!"

Xue Ming reminded her, "I'm not even certain I could defeat him. Befriending him would benefit both you and the family behind you."

"Sago Neheru?"

Vinina froze slightly.

That name sounded familiar.

"That's right."

Xue Ming explained, "His physical abilities are actually quite ordinary, merely at the level of a typical High-level Battle General. In this Elite Training Camp, he would only be considered slightly above average. But he's a Mental Master. With the unique traits of a Mental Master, even I would have to be extremely cautious in a fight against him!"

"That's precisely why, although his ranking in the camp isn't particularly high, his actual combat strength definitely places him among the top five!"

"This is normal in the training camp."

"After all, as long as a Martial Artist hasn't reached War God level in status, they can remain in the training camp."

"It's no exaggeration to say that the top thirty in the entire camp basically all possess actual combat strength at the War God level."

Vinina nodded slightly.

She understood that. Within the training camp, they had fixed resources cultivating them. Once they left, they would have to struggle on their own. It was only five years either way, so it was more worthwhile for them to consume all the resources first before leaving.

Putting herself in their shoes, Vinina would have made the same choice.

But this Sago Neheru...

"Don't bother thinking about it. You most likely don't know this Sago Neheru."

Seeing Vinina deep in thought, Xue Ming began introducing him. "He's actually from India. The reason he lives in Washington is that India did not have any spots in the Elite Training Camp at the time. So, through the HR Alliance's connections, he changed his household registration to Washington Base City and entered using America's quota."

"India?"

"It's him?!"

Vinina finally remembered who this guy was.

India's Mental Master prodigy—the Indian War God whom Babata said had brain capacity second only to Luo Feng's. He was also the one who, during Luo Feng's process of Seizing Body from the Golden Horn Beast, broke through to Planetary level, threatened Luo Feng's family, and was ultimately crushed and killed by Luo Feng.

Scum!

Forget power struggles, temptations of resources, or human nature. By Vinina's standards, he was simply scum!

It was one thing not to step forward when lives were on the line, but to attack the families of heroes who had fought desperately to save everyone afterward? Even a hundred deaths would not be enough to absolve him!

With that in mind, Vinina stopped Xue Ming just as she was about to call out to Sago Neheru, then headed straight for the small building where she would be staying.

She felt dirty just looking at trash like him!

Still, she would have to let him live a little longer. With Vinina's current strength, she was not yet capable of dealing with someone like him.

Just as Vinina entered the building assigned to her, a young man in a training uniform, with features resembling those of a South Asian, watched her retreating back from the neighboring building. The corners of his mouth lifted slightly. "This little princess of the Polenas Family is quite cold, isn't she?"

"Fortunately... I like that!"

After entering her residence, Vinina immediately went to the study. A laptop sat there, containing a document titled "Student Guidelines."

After opening the document and reading it carefully, Vinina gained a general understanding of the Elite Training Camp.

Training rooms, challenge rooms, gravity rooms, and Points rankings.

These four were the core of the Elite Training Camp.

The first three were devices created from Ancient Civilization Ruins and could assist in cultivation. The final one, the Points rankings, was the prerequisite for using them.

Take the Ancient Civilization Ruins device known as the "gravity room," for example. Its effects far surpassed the imitation gravity rooms on Earth, so naturally it was much more effective. But there was only one of it. Who would get to use it?

That was decided by the Points rankings!

The higher one's ranking, the more time one would be allotted.

And beyond that, there were rewards such as treasures. For example, if someone ranked first each month and accumulated that achievement nine times, they could receive a portion of Dragon Blood worth 80 billion, choose any three complete sets of manuals for free, and select either Hong or Thor as their instructor, becoming that person's direct disciple.

Accumulating six times would earn one drop of Jade Marrow worth 30 billion, one complete set of manuals of their choice for free, and a chance to receive personal guidance from either Hong or Thor!

Looking at it this way, it was no wonder those students remained here for the full five years even after gaining the strength of War Gods. Once they left, they would have no opportunity to receive guidance from superpowerful experts like Hong and Thor!
