Settling In

"Sis, you really passed?"

Xu Ai asked in surprise. Xu Xin had actually managed to defeat fifty monsters of the same level? It didn't seem realistic at all...

"I won. It's true, so don't worry. I'm not lying to you."

Xu Xin replied helplessly. In truth, she hadn't expected it either. She'd merely vented her frustration at Luo Feng for being so clueless about romance, and then every Reckless Bull (Luo Feng) had its head smashed in!

Luo Feng: Why do I suddenly have a bit of a headache? What's going on???

Yang Hui smiled and nodded.

"Looks like Xu Xin has a real talent for combat, too. The Elite Training Camp mainly teaches practical combat."

The Elite Training Camp focused on practical combat. The higher a student's combat strength at graduation, the better.

The reason was that years of data on breakthroughs to the Planetary Level showed that high-level War Gods with greater combat strength had a higher chance of breaking through.

The War God Preparatory Camp was what people called the Elite Training Camp, but surely the Elite Training Camp didn't stop at producing War Gods.

Its purpose was to cultivate geniuses into powerful fighters. War Gods were certainly strong, but how could they compare to Planetary Level councilors?

"Come on, let's go to the administration office and register. We'll have them arrange a place for you to stay."

"We don't need to. Our master has already arranged everything for us."

Xu Ai said.

Two days earlier, the Gravity Chamber at Hen Ren's home had been dismantled. Given Extreme Martial Arts Hall's efficiency, it had already been installed here, and all that remained was for Xu Ai to move in.

"Everything's been arranged?"

Yang Hui looked at Xu Ai, a little surprised.

But then he thought about Hen Ren's status. Arranging a place for two disciples was hardly difficult.

"All right, then. Do you know where it is?"

"No, so we'll have to go see Inspector Wang."

Hong had personally instructed Inspector Wang to handle it. It was only natural for Xu Ai and the others to meet Inspector Wang after arriving at the Elite Training Camp.

"Okay, then I'll take you to Inspector Wang first."

Yang Hui nodded and led Xu Ai and Xu Xin along.

The Elite Training Camp's teachers' residential area was where Inspector Wang lived.

Their destination was a pavilion with a somewhat larger footprint and a Tang dynasty style.

At the villa's entrance, an old man dressed in traditional Chinese clothes was lounging on a rocking chair, gently swaying.

"Old Li, you seem pretty free today."

Yang Hui teased the old man.

The old man glanced at him, then looked at Xu Ai and Xu Xin beside him and stood up.

"I'm waiting for these two young ladies, of course. I never expected you, Yang, to bring them over so late, so I had no choice but to sit here and wait..."

"Haha, you should've said so earlier. I took them to look around the Nine-Story Tower first."

Yang Hui couldn't help laughing.

"Let me introduce you. This is Inspector Wang's housekeeper, Old Li. Just call him Old Li. Inspector Wang is usually busy cultivating, so Old Li handles all the training camp's day-to-day affairs."

"Old Li." ×3

Xu Ai and the others greeted him.

"You... already know who they are, right? I don't need to introduce them."

"Could you be any lazier?"

Old Li was speechless, but he did know who Xu Ai, Xu Xin, and Luo Feng were.

As the Elite Training Camp's de facto manager, he naturally reviewed the files of the students about to enroll.

Xu Ai and Xu Xin in particular—the disciples of Hen Ren, the world's third strongest councilor. After reading their files once, Old Li had remembered them clearly.

"Sorry for the trouble. I'll take it from here."

Old Li waved his hand, signaling that Yang Hui could get lost.

After Yang Hui left with Luo Feng, Old Li led Xu Ai and Xu Xin into the pavilion.

The interior was decorated in the same traditional style. Even the televisions and other appliances had been designed to fit the aesthetic. It was clear how much Inspector Wang loved the antique look.

Old Li took them to the reception room on the second floor.

"Have a seat. Inspector Wang will be here shortly."

Inspector Wang wasn't foolish enough to wait around for Xu Ai and the others. He was probably still cultivating.

Xu Ai and the others had been sitting for a while when a lean man with a mustache walked in.

"Sorry for the wait."

Inspector Wang sat down on a cushion beside the tea table.

He was one of the five Inspectors of Extreme Martial Arts Hall, stationed at the Elite Training Camp.

Of the five Inspectors, only he and Inspector Liu were Chinese.

Although Hong's state of mind had reached Heart of Infinity—Supreme Forgetting of Emotions—he was still Chinese, after all. An institution like the Elite Training Camp, dedicated to cultivating powerful fighters, naturally couldn't be allowed to fall into outsiders' hands.

Inspector Liu was responsible for affairs in Huaxia, while Inspector Wang naturally took charge of the Elite Training Camp.

"Your teacher is something of a legend at the Elite Training Camp."

Inspector Wang placed a teacup in front of Xu Ai and another in front of Xu Xin, then said with a smile.

"Oh? Was our master really that impressive at the training camp?"

Xu Xin asked curiously.

Inspector Wang smiled and told Xu Xin about Hen Ren's record.

At first glance, Hen Ren becoming an Invincible War God at twenty-three might not seem all that impressive. But according to the original story, she had entered the Elite Training Camp at seventeen and broken into the top fifty on the rankings during her first month.

By her second month, she was in the top ten. In her third month, her physical fitness reached War God Level, and she began an unbroken streak in first place. Even Hong and Thor were amazed by her and offered to take her as a disciple, but Hen Ren turned them down.

The reason she had remained an Invincible War God for so long wasn't a lack of talent. At the time, Xu Ai's Clone had simply been capped at the Invincible War God level...

After chatting with Xu Ai and the others for a while, Inspector Wang had Old Li take them to the pavilion that had been prepared for them.

This pavilion was also in the training camp's teachers' residential area.

"This is the place."

Old Li took out a key and unlocked the pavilion's front door.

"Well, this is unusual. Have we got a new teacher?"

A tall, beautiful woman with a curvy figure stepped out of a pavilion and happened to see Old Li bringing Xu Ai and Xu Xin in.

This was the teachers' residential area. The people who lived here were either War God instructors at the training camp or their family members.

The villa Xu Ai and the others were moving into was clearly vacant. The only reason for that would be the arrival of a new teacher.

"Jiang Fang, that's right. We have a new teacher."

Xu Ai was certainly young, but she was indeed a new teacher at the training camp.

Old Li smiled and gestured toward Xu Ai.

"This is our new teacher. Don't let her youth fool you—her Force Amplitude is already ten times the norm, and she's a disciple of Councilor Hen Ren."

"A disciple of Councilor Hen Ren? Here to teach at the training camp?"

Jiang Fang looked at Xu Ai in surprise, and Xu Ai looked back at her, equally surprised.

Of the few women on Earth who had been described in any detail, Jiang Fang had gotten the most. Her first impression was that she had an amazing figure.

"Hello, Teacher Jiang Fang. I'm Xu Ai."

Xu Ai greeted her with a smile, and Xu Xin introduced herself as well.

Jiang Fang smiled back.

"Hello. I live right next door. If you need any help, feel free to come find me."

They chatted briefly, then Xu Ai and the others went inside the pavilion.

"The basement is the Martial Arts Hall, and the Gravity Chamber is on the second floor. The bedrooms and bathroom are up there too... It's not very big, so take a look around yourselves."

"If you need anything, you can call the Nine-Story Tower's service line. They'll send someone over to help."

With that, Old Li took his leave.

Xu Ai and Xu Xin walked around the pavilion. Everything had already been put in place, and there wasn't much they needed to add.

Afterward, they went to the administration office to choose Xu Xin's student code and get Xu Ai's teacher ID. Then they returned to the pavilion.
