Punch Power exertion level was the sort of thing where reporting it too high made it easy to get found out, but reporting it lower could still fool people for a while.

How could she explain her Trial Tower level?

Vinina said no explanation was needed.

In any case, she insisted that her Punch Power exertion level was still 5.

You didn't believe her?

That was your problem!

Limit Martial Hall, the Polenas Family, and the other forces watching Vinina were all helpless about this. After all, the Trial Tower had been excavated from the Ancient Civilization Ruins. Even Hong had no way of observing the battles inside. Vinina insisted that she had only achieved a score of 3.7 through good luck. If they didn't believe her, what could they do?

They couldn't exactly use force.

The key was that even if they wanted to use force, they couldn't!

Over the past six months, Vinina's greatest improvement had been in her base physical strength. From 8,100 kg when she had first joined the Elite Training Camp, to 21,000 kg after using Dragon Blood, by the end of March, it had reached 23,000 kg—an increase of 2,000 kg!

By the end of April, it had reached 30,000 kg!

Because Vinina's ranking had risen, her time in the Ancient Civilization Gravity Chamber had increased to six hours in April. Those extra five hours, combined with her improved physical fitness, naturally increased her cultivation speed as well. With all these factors combined, she gained 7,000 kg in April.

Then in June, she continued to soar.

The reason was that the Polenas Family had bought her another portion of Dragon Blood. Although the second use was not as effective as the first, it still raised her base physical strength to 43,000 kg. By the end of June, it had directly reached 46,000 kg!

It was now the end of July, and her current base physical strength was around 50,000 kg.

The base physical strength of an ordinary Initial War God was only 64,000 kg to 128,000 kg, while that of an intermediate War God ranged from 128,000 kg to 256,000 kg. Even based on Vinina's publicly declared Punch Power exertion level of 5, her full-force burst could reach around 250,000 kg of force!

Even intermediate War Gods had to take her seriously!

After all, among intermediate War Gods, Punch Power exertion levels generally only stood at around 2 to 3.

And that was only the publicly known data. If she revealed her hidden strength, Vinina could unleash an attack of 360,000 kg. Even among intermediate War Gods, she would count as a powerhouse. Why would she care about a mere life-and-death adventure?

Early morning, August 1st.

One hundred and fifty-one students gathered on the grass before the Nine-Story Building, chatting in groups of two or three. Every student was fully armed, carrying backpacks, their respective weapons, and more.

Because today was the day they set off on their life-and-death adventure.

And their destination was exactly the Australian Continent Vinina had anticipated.

Before the Great Nirvana, the Australian Continent had been characterized by its abundant wildlife and sparse population. When the Great Nirvana struck, that naturally became a fatal weakness. Vast numbers of mutated monsters continued to breed there, and by now, their numbers could be called the greatest in the world!

Together with Africa's Sahara and South America's Amazon, it was known as one of the world's three great perilous regions.

Occasionally, certain super organizations sent elite squads to train on this continent, just as Vinina and the others were doing now.

Time slowly passed as they waited.

It was not until nine in the morning, when the passenger plane arrived, that the 151 students and more than ten War God instructors boarded buses in a grand procession, leaving the training camp for the airport.

At 10:20, everyone boarded the plane. The passenger jet left Hongning Base City and flew directly toward the Australian Continent in Oceania.

On the plane, a War God instructor stood in the center. Beside him were three enormous screens facing different directions, displaying videos about the Australian Continent. "This is the Australian Continent as it is today, arguably the region with the most astonishing and densely packed monster population in the world."

"Because their numbers are far too great, the Australian Continent not only has a large number of Lord-level monsters, but also King-level Monsters. If you encounter a King-level Monster now, you will almost certainly die, so remember not to approach areas with high monster density."

"These are the various common monster hordes and Lord-level monsters found on the Australian Continent. Watch carefully!"

After repeating the basic precautions once more, the War God instructor returned to his seat, while the videos continued playing.

Every student watched closely, Vinina included.

No one dared underestimate the Australian Continent, one of the three great perilous regions. However, after gaining a general understanding of it, Vinina focused on the map of the Australian Continent. After searching for a while, she quickly found her destination:

Mist Island!

"Babata."

Vinina narrowed her eyes and murmured, "I'm here!"

Forty minutes later.

The plane landed and its cabin doors opened. The 151 students and more than ten War God instructors from its upper, middle, and lower decks quickly exited the passenger jet.

As they stepped onto the vast green-covered wilderness of the Australian Continent, lush vegetation stretched as far as the eye could see, while the silhouettes of some monsters could faintly be seen in the distance.

"Silence!"

A middle-aged Chinese man looked at the crowd. "Use your communication watches to record the detailed coordinates of your current location. It is now 2:24 p.m. on August 1st, 2030. Your task is to survive on the Australian Continent for 28 days. At noon on the 29th, our passenger plane will return to this exact location to take all students back to Hongning Base City."

"Now, your life-and-death adventure officially begins!"

With that, all the War God instructors swiftly returned to the passenger jet. Under the watchful eyes of the 151 students, the plane slowly rose into the air, turning into a streak of blue light that vanished beyond the horizon.

Then, the 151 students set off into the endless wilderness, some in groups of two or three, some in pairs, and some alone.

Vinina belonged to the last group.

It was not that no one had invited her. With her looks and background, plenty of people would have been willing to take her along to complete this life-and-death adventure even if she had been weak. Not to mention that Vinina ranked as high as 17th on the Black Dragon Ranking. As a teammate, she could absolutely serve as the main combat force in battle.

But Vinina rejected every single invitation.

Her target was Babata beneath Mist Island. Teaming up with others would only hinder her efficiency.

Safety?

The strength of an intermediate War God was somewhat dangerous on the Australian Continent, but unless her luck was truly terrible, there normally would not be any problems.

The only thing she needed to worry about was Babata.

Ultimately, the Yunmo Star Inheritance belonged to the Mental Master lineage, while she was currently still a genetic warrior and did not meet the requirements for the Yunmo Star Inheritance. Although she had never intended to inherit it in the first place, merely seeking Babata himself and the Black Dragon Mountain spacecraft on Earth, with the Black Dragon Mountain spacecraft being the priority, if Babata refused to cooperate...

How was she supposed to get the Black Dragon Mountain spacecraft with her face?

She had to give it a try no matter what.

After all, this was the only way to leave Earth and enter the Vast Universe.

It was not like she could make a move on the Mechanical Race spacecraft or the Zerg Mother Nest, could she?
