One Shot, One Kill!

Bang!

Late at night, in the martial arts hall on the fifth floor of the Nine-Story Building, Vinina looked at the number displayed on the Punch Target and nodded in satisfaction.

21000 kg!

An increase of nearly 2.6 times!

And if she went all out, combining the second level of Annihilation with Battle Intent Power, Vinina could unleash nearly 110000 kg of force! The benchmark for an Initial War God was 64000–128000 kg. Although that standard referred to basic Punch Power, monsters did not distinguish between basic strength and anything else. Logically speaking, Vinina now possessed the ability to fight an Initial Lord-level monster!

She could barely be considered a War God.

But.

It was not enough!

With that thought, Vinina looked into the distance. Though her view was blocked, in that direction—

Was the Australian Continent!

The next day, Vinina slept until she woke naturally. After breakfast, she went to the Underground Training Room and continuously practiced the force techniques of Annihilation, maintaining an explosive output of 2.7 times her strength.

Practice a punch a thousand times, and the movement comes naturally.

That was something Xue Ming had once said, and it was the truth. Whether it was Spear Technique, movement techniques, or anything else, only repeated practice combined with personal talent could allow one to master it—or even surpass it!

As for the ten-billion bet with David Baghdadi at noon?

Vinina did not care about it at all.

A guy whose Combat Power Amplitude was merely average posed no challenge to her. So she practiced until noon, ate lunch, and only then leisurely made her way toward the Nine-Story Building.

She entered the ninth floor.

Quite a few trainees had already gathered there.

A ten-billion bet and an old trainee bullying a newcomer were both juicy topics. There were only a little over 140 trainees in the Elite Training Camp, yet more than fifty had gathered here, talking animatedly.

"Vinina Polenas, if you'd come five minutes later, you wouldn't even have needed to compete. Wouldn't that have been nice?"

David sneered as he watched Vinina stroll over.

The challenge was set for 13:10, and it was already 13:08 when Vinina arrived. In his eyes, she was clearly afraid.

But Vinina merely glanced at him and lightly shook her head.

This Blackie sure was eager to hand over his money.

"David Baghdadi, Vinina Polenas, enter the Challenge Room."

The electronic voice echoed through the ninth-floor hall. Vinina and David exchanged a glance, then both stepped into the Challenge Room.

Watching their backs, the spectators began talking even more heatedly.

"Ten billion Huaxia Coin—that's more than eighty billion rubles. David's making a killing this time."

"This chick really is rich."

"Obviously. She's a Direct Descendant of the Polenas Family!"

It seemed they had already decided the outcome.

The layout of the Challenge Room was exactly the same as the Trial Room: two sofas and two dark-blue helmets. Even now, David did not forget to provoke Vinina, but Vinina simply gave him an internationally recognized gesture that made him shut up—a raised middle finger.

They put on their helmets at the same time.

Touch, hearing, and sight were instantly cut off. When they returned, they were standing upon a boundless expanse of silver land. The only structure here was an arena!

Vinina and David stood at its center!

"Please select your weapon and combat uniform."

A mechanical electronic voice echoed through the world. Vinina and David swiftly selected their weapons and combat uniforms, then put them on. Text also began appearing on the pillars beside them—

Name: Vinina Polenas

Gender: Female

Status: Official trainee of the Elite Training Camp

Combat Power Amplitude: Excellent

The pillar beside David displayed the same information. Other than the name, the only difference was that his Combat Power Amplitude was "Average."

Silence fell at once.

After a long while, David finally recovered from his stunned state. He stared at Vinina, his voice full of disbelief.

"Why is your Combat Power Amplitude excellent?!"

"Why can't it be excellent?"

Vinina lifted her spear, stretched her body, and replied calmly.

That middle finger had not been meant to insult this Blackie. She simply wanted to express her judgment of how this bet would go.

One move!

"Please select a combat environment."

The virtual space's voice rang out again, and eight map scenes appeared before Vinina and David.

"You choose."

Though he was a Blackie, he was still a Blackie about to give her ten billion. Vinina did not mind giving him a little gaming experience.

David's face was filled with despair.

Before the battle had even begun, he already knew he had lost.

The gap was too great.

His Combat Power Amplitude was only close to 4, while an excellent Combat Power Amplitude ranged from 8 to 16. The range was broad, but even its lowest threshold was more than twice his own. How was he supposed to fight?

Bet on Vinina lacking combat experience?

That was a joke.

Combat Power Amplitude was the product of Punch Power output level and Trial Tower level. How could someone who achieved excellent results in the Trial Tower possibly lack real combat experience?

For a moment, David was filled with regret. If he had been given a chance to return to yesterday, he would never have provoked Vinina, much less made any bet with her!

Ten billion Huaxia Coin!

David closed his eyes in pain. As he cursed the intelligence agency in his heart, he gave his answer.

"Residential buildings."

"Fine."

Vinina nodded slightly, unsurprised by his choice.

When there was a gap in strength, the residential buildings of the Wilderness Zone were indeed the best choice. With so many obstacles, there was at least some room for error.

Rumble~~~~

As the scene was selected, heaven and earth trembled. The surroundings of Vinina and David instantly changed, transforming from the vast silver land into the rubble-strewn lobby of a residential building. Their lines of sight were both blocked by load-bearing pillars.

"Battle, begin!"

The mechanical electronic voice rang out.

Whoosh!

David instantly retreated. His left hand gripped his shield tightly, while the battle saber in his other hand slashed out fiercely!

He had already sensed Vinina approaching!

But.

Would it help?

The bodies used in the Challenge Room all had identical physical attributes: 10000 kg Punch Power, a speed of 150 m/s, and Initial Battle General-level excellent Nerve Reaction Speed. Yet when Vinina went all out, the force carried by her spear reached as high as 50000 kg, while her speed could rival that of a High-level Battle General!

But what about David?

His Punch Power output level was only 1.8, meaning he could unleash just 18000 kg at full strength.

A gap of nearly three times!

Even though the load-bearing pillars and other obstacles, along with his long experience in life-and-death combat, allowed his battle saber to successfully block the spear tip, the enormous gap of nearly three times sent the saber flying. The spear tip pierced straight through his skull!

The challenge was over!

One move meant one move!
