Grade A Trial

The Nine-Story Tower of the Elite Training Camp is roughly identical in appearance to the Small Nine-Story Tower at the Basic Training Camp, with the primary differences lying in the ancient civilization equipment inside—namely the Trial Room, the Challenge Room, and the Gravity Chamber.

The Grade A Trial that Su You needs to pass takes place within the Trial Room. The Trial Room has a rest period every day from 12:00 to 13:00, and if there are new students undergoing assessment, it is conducted during this hour.

After entering the Nine-Story Tower, Yang Hui and Su You took the elevator directly to the ninth floor.

This floor is a spacious hall. There are some mats inside where a few young men and women are sitting casually and chatting. At the very back of the hall, there is a passageway with individual rooms on both sides.

Yang Hui smiled and said to Su You, "It's only eleven o'clock, so let's wait here for a while."

After saying this, Yang Hui found a mat and sat down, and Su You followed suit, sitting down directly.

As for the fact that Su You has been recruited, the Extreme Martial Arts Hall naturally intends to publicize it, so as soon as Yang Hui sat down, he pointed to Su You beside him and said:

"Let me introduce him to you all. His name is Su You, and he has already signed with our Extreme Martial Arts Hall. Once he passes the Grade A Trial in a little while, he will also be a student of the Elite Training Camp."

"Signed with the Extreme Martial Arts Hall?"

"Su You? He seems to be from the Basic Training Camp, right?"

The young men and women in the hall looked at Su You with great surprise. Everyone who can enter the Elite Training Camp is a chosen child of heaven, and it is quite normal for them to be invited by major factions.

However, the two major martial arts halls are different; their criteria for recruiting official members are very high, and they do not easily invite ordinary geniuses.

During the time spent waiting in the hall, Su You also got to know the students from Huaxia Country in the hall, and they were all very enthusiastic in their attitude.

As soon as 12 o'clock arrived, Su You followed Yang Hui into a room at the very end of the hall's passageway. This room is not large and is even somewhat dim. There are only two sofas inside, and each sofa has a dark blue helmet placed on it.

Yang Hui turned on the lights and pointed to the helmets on the sofas, saying:

"These two helmets are Consciousness Sensors, which are virtual space equipment that our human scientists spent a great deal of effort to replicate.

As for the host computer for that virtual space, our human scientists cannot understand it at all, so we are still using that ancient machine that has been sleeping underground for who knows how many years."

"Virtual space." Su You muttered, his mood slightly excited. In his past life, he had read quite a few online gaming novels and had long been looking forward to a virtual world.

Thinking that Su You was intimidated, Yang Hui smiled and explained:

"Put it on, and your consciousness will enter a virtual space with 100% simulation. The Trial Tower is inside there, and you will enter it to take the Grade A Trial.

Come, follow my lead. Lie down on the sofa, and after you put on the helmet, your consciousness will enter the virtual space directly. Don't panic."

Just as Yang Hui finished speaking, Su You picked up a helmet, lay directly on the sofa, and put it on, feeling somewhat impatient.

Yang Hui, standing to the side, chuckled and then put on his own helmet as well.

With a buzz in his head, Su You found that he had appeared on a boundless silver land. Above his head was the infinite cosmic starry sky, with countless stars shining, casting dreamlike light onto the silver ground.

Su You jumped a couple of times, tried tapping the ground, and even tried tugging at his pants.

"If a game like this had appeared in my past life, it would definitely have been a victory for the 'pants-dropping' crowd!"

Yang Hui smiled and pointed into the distance, saying to Su You: "That is the Seven-Story Trial Tower, and it is also the place where you will take your trial."

Su You looked in the direction Yang Hui indicated and immediately saw the massive tower, towering into the clouds three or four hundred meters away. With the naked eye, he could vaguely distinguish seven levels.

"Su You, you should have noticed the change in your physical fitness, right?"

Su You nodded. In the virtual space, only one's consciousness can enter, so everyone uses the exact same physical stats: 10,000 kg of punching power, a speed of 150 m/s, and a nerve reaction speed at the superior level of an Elementary Warlord.

Su You had known this for a long time, but he still listened carefully to Yang Hui's introduction.

Soon, the two walked to the entrance of the Trial Tower. On the left and right sides of the main entrance, there was a black stone pillar.

Su You first turned his gaze to the left, only to see carvings appearing on that black stone pillar--

"Name: Su You

Gender: Male

Status: Elite Training Camp Preparatory Student

Trial Tower Level: 1"

Carvings also appeared on the black stone pillar on the other side, but the content was completely different--

"Name: Yang Hui

Gender: Male

Status: Warlord

Trial Tower Level: 3.1"

"Huh, 3.1? Well, that makes sense. It's still several years before he goes to pick up Luo Feng!"

Su You was somewhat surprised, while Yang Hui beside him had already begun to explain to Su You:

"This Trial Tower level is displayed based on the level you can reach. My 3.1 refers to my achievement on the third level, and since you haven't challenged it yet, it is just the most basic 1.

The difficulty of this Seven-Story Trial Tower is extremely high. Even our Hall Master has only reached the sixth level, and he is the only one on Earth who has reached the sixth level."

Su You nodded. The difficulty of this Trial Tower is indeed not low. According to his guess, most Planet-level experts on Earth probably haven't reached the fifth level of the Trial Tower.

In his memories from his past life, one of the rewards for the Trial Tower level is that as long as one reaches Trial Tower level 5, they can obtain the position of "Inspector" in the Extreme Martial Arts Hall, along with other extremely generous rewards.

Suddenly, an electronic voice echoed throughout the virtual space: "Su You, please select your combat suit and weapon. After selecting, you will enter the Trial Tower within one minute to take the Grade A Trial!"

A variety of combat suits and weapon styles immediately appeared before him, and Su You quickly selected a combat suit that fit his body size along with two Baihong Swords.

In an instant, the two longswords and the combat suit landed on the ground, and Su You finished putting them on in less than five seconds.

Yang Hui smiled and said, "Su You, with your strength, passing the Grade A Trial won't be a problem. Just keep a steady mindset and don't be careless. I'll wish you success in advance!"

Su You nodded slightly and walked directly into the pitch-black entrance ahead.

The space shifted instantly, and the scenery before Su You changed, bringing him directly onto a vast grassland.

"Su You, for the Grade A Trial, you must kill 50 Low-Level Warlord-level Mangniu beasts surrounding you within 20 minutes! If you die during the process, you fail!"

"If you have not killed 50 Mangniu after 20 minutes, you also fail! This is your first time entering the Trial Tower, so you have five minutes of preparation time."

"Only fifty?" Su You curled his lip and stretched a few times, adapting to this body of his.

Five minutes later, an electronic voice resounded throughout the grassland world. On the grass a hundred meters ahead of Su You, bull-type monsters nearly three meters tall appeared, each one significantly larger than the tanks of his past life.

"Moo--"

The fifty Mangniu roared in unison, their eyes turning red as they snorted white mist and charged rapidly toward Su You.

Su You held a Baihong Sword in each hand and charged into the herd in an instant, becoming completely one with his surroundings. He used the Mangniu themselves to dodge attack after attack, while his two longswords struck out in succession; with every swing, another Mangniu fell.

The electronic voice rang out once more: "Time elapsed: 1 minute and 54 seconds. All 50 Mangniu have been killed. Grade A Trial, passed! Congratulations, student Su You!"

"That's it?" Su You shook his head helplessly. He hadn't even gotten into the zone yet, so how could it be over?

"Student Su You, you will automatically leave the virtual space in five seconds. 5, 4..."
