On the morning of March 24th, in a martial arts practice hall on the second floor of the Nine-Story Tower.

Su You glanced at the teacher in front of him and the several senior students beside him, unable to help but sigh inwardly: "Sigh, why didn't I choose to practice blade techniques back then?"

Yesterday, the Elite Training Camp had arranged a teacher for him who also practiced the Dripping Water Sword, a man named Zhai Mo, an Advanced Wargod whose sword intent had reached the realm level.

At first, Su You was quite happy, but after seeing the teacher named Jiang Fang at the training camp this morning, his mood suddenly took a turn for the worse.

With a tall figure, a voluptuous chest, a slender waist, and hair cascading over her shoulders, Su You instantly had the thought of changing teachers in his mind. Unfortunately, he practiced sword techniques, and changing teachers didn't seem to be of any use, so he had to let it go.

Over the next few days, because he wouldn't officially participate in the rankings until April, Su You spent his time practicing sword techniques with Zhai Mo.

On March 29th, Zhang Yue passed the Grade A Trial, entered the Elite Training Camp, and moved into the last pavilion of the Kyoto Pavilion. That same evening, the students from Huaxia Country held a welcome banquet to celebrate her arrival.

In the blink of an eye, it was April 1st. Because his ranking of 181 last month was an odd number, he was assigned to head to City 1001 to hunt monsters this month.

City 1001 was significantly more dangerous than City 1002, but for Su You, as long as he didn't run into a Lord-level monster, he had nothing to worry about.

When he tested at the end of March, his strength had already reached approximately 14,000 kilograms, nearing the threshold of an Intermediate Warlord. His speed had already reached the Intermediate Warlord level at the beginning of the month. Combined with his force exertion, sword techniques, and footwork, killing Advanced Beast-level monsters was not impossible.

At nine in the evening, a vehicle dedicated to the training camp pulled up to the entrance. The students who had been hunting monsters in the wilderness area stepped off one by one and walked into the camp.

The first thing every student did upon entering the training camp was to look up at the ranking list on the Black Dragon Sculpture, and Su You was naturally no exception.

"NO.55 Su You"

"He surged to 55 on his first day? This Su You is really strong!"

"Nonsense, he was specially recruited by the Extreme Martial Arts Hall. It's perfectly normal for him to reach 55 on his first day."

"I wonder if this guy has a chance to enter the top 100 by the end of the month?"

Listening to the discussions of the students beneath the Black Dragon Sculpture, Su You frowned, not particularly satisfied with the result.

One had to realize that today was only the first day of hunting monsters, meaning the students with even-numbered assignments currently had 0 points. Once they returned tomorrow, his ranking would likely drop out of the top 100.

Since I was specially recruited, it would be embarrassing to drop out of the top 100, Su You thought to himself. Well, I'm a new student, and I can perform one Trial Tower level assessment this month. I'll go tomorrow at noon.

The Trial Tower level assessment was a privilege every new student possessed in their first month, and it had no time limit; as long as one didn't die, they could keep pushing upward.

The time quota for the Trial Room was different. For instance, Su You could only use the Trial Room for one hour in April. Within that time, no matter how many times he died, he could restart, but once the hour was up, he would be kicked out of the virtual space.

The next day at 11:50, Su You set off from the Kyoto Pavilion and arrived at the hall on the ninth floor of the Nine-Story Tower. Five students from Huaxia Country had just finished their training in the Trial Room and Gravity Chamber and were heading out when they bumped into Su You, who was preparing to enter.

"Su You, why are you here at noon?" The speaker was a lean young man with sharp, bright eyes; it was Li Zhong, who lived in the Kyoto Pavilion with them.

"I'm going to take the Trial Tower assessment."

Su You smiled, exchanged greetings, and walked toward the Trial Room. After a red light scanned him at the door, the gate to the Trial Room unlocked automatically, and Su You walked straight in.

"A newcomer's Trial Tower assessment privilege?"

"To reach 55 on the first day without even taking the Trial Tower level assessment... it looks like he'll definitely make the top 100 in his first month."

"In the history of the training camp, only five people have ever made it into the top 100 in their first month. The most recent one was five years ago. Of those five, four became Advanced Wargods, and one has already become an existence surpassing the Wargod level."

"Haha, this is great news! Su You is one of our own from Huaxia. Let's go, let's hurry to the Black Dragon Sculpture and see."

The five Huaxia students were both shocked and excited. They quickly rushed toward the Black Dragon Sculpture at the main entrance of the training camp, not forgetting to call their friends along. Before long, a large crowd had gathered beneath the sculpture.

Inside the Trial Room, Su You lay on the sofa, put on his helmet, and instantly appeared on an endless silver plain.

"I want to perform a punch force and force exertion level test," Su You shouted, and a punch force testing machine appeared out of thin air beside him.

An electronic voice echoed throughout the virtual space: "Student Su You, please proceed with the punch force and force exertion level test immediately."

Su You stood before the testing machine, took a deep breath, and threw his right fist out instantly. Four consecutive waves of hidden force surged into his arm, his speed skyrocketing once more, and he slammed into the target with a terrifying whistle of air.

"Bang~~" The target shook, and a line of data appeared on the screen: "14,200 kg".

The electronic voice sounded again: "Punch force exertion 2.4. Congratulations, Student Su You, your combat power amplitude is now 3.12."

Su You walked toward the distant Trial Tower, and the punch force testing machine instantly vanished into nothingness.

Beneath the Black Dragon Sculpture at the training camp, most of the students hadn't arrived yet, with only a few who happened to be nearby having heard the news and run over.

"It changed! Su You's ranking changed!" a Black student exclaimed.

The few people under the Black Dragon Sculpture immediately looked up, only to see Su You's ranking jump directly from 55th to 39th.

"Fuck, how did it change so much?"

"That's too monstrous!"

The students beneath the Black Dragon Sculpture hurriedly sent out the news. Other students who received the message rushed toward the main entrance of the training camp, and even many of the Wargod-level teachers were startled.

At the main entrance of the Trial Tower, Su You's information appeared on the stone pillar to the left.

"Name: Su You

Gender: Male

Identity: Official member of the Elite Training Camp

Trial Tower Level: 1.3

After reading this, Su You quickly changed into his chosen training suit and weapons, then stepped directly into the Trial Tower.

The B stage of the first floor of the Trial Tower required killing 100 low-level commander-rank Mangniu within 30 minutes; Su You finished it easily in less than four minutes, and his ranking on the Black Dragon Ranking rose to 35th.

At this moment, more and more students were gathering under the Black Dragon Sculpture, and even a dozen War God instructors had appeared; seeing the change in Su You's ranking, they couldn't help but be shocked once again.

Soon, the C stage of the first floor began; the content of this assessment was to kill 190 low-level commander-rank Mangniu and 10 mid-level commander-rank Mangniu within 50 minutes.

With the mid-level commander-rank Mangniu organizing the others, the difficulty of this stage soared instantly, but it only caused Su You to spend a little more time, taking 11 minutes and 25 seconds.

Under the Black Dragon Sculpture, the many students and teachers watched as Su You climbed directly to 31st place, and one by one, they couldn't help but gasp in shock.
