I Am Honest, I Deserve Praise

"125,000 kg, about 1.6 times, not bad," Su You said softly.

Jade Essence generally allows physical fitness to reach 1.2 to 1.8 times its original level; the higher the strength, the weaker the effect of the Jade Essence, and the lower the strength, the more obvious the effect.

"Dragon Blood should be able to increase my physical fitness even more. It seems there will be no problem reaching the level of a Low-level War God."

After testing his strength, Su You returned to the Kyoto Pavilion to rest, and for the next few days, he devoted himself entirely to cultivation.

On the evening of July 2nd, Su You applied the Dragon Blood to his body. This Dragon Blood was not as gentle as the Jade Essence; he endured it for more than ten minutes before passing out from the pain.

After waking up, Su You's physical fitness had improved once again, but what made him feel uncomfortable was that his skin had turned bronze due to the influence of the Dragon Blood, which severely affected his appearance.

After using the Dragon Blood, Su You's physical fitness roughly doubled; his punch force reached 148,000 kg, and his speed reached 361 m/s, placing him roughly in the middle tier of a Low-level War God.

When exerting his full power, his strength could also cross the threshold of an Advanced War God, making his strength roughly equivalent to Yang Hui, the Mid-level War God who brought him into the training camp.

After his physical fitness improved, Su You's hunting efficiency naturally increased by a large margin. His ranking rose to 13th at the beginning of July, but he didn't have any breakthroughs that month, so by the end of the month, he had only advanced one spot, reaching the 12th position.

On the other hand, because Su You used Jade Essence and Dragon Blood in succession, with a large amount of medicinal efficacy still lurking in his body, his physical fitness improved extremely rapidly in July. His punch force increased by more than 11,000 kg, just breaking through the 100,000 kg mark, and his physical fitness was not far from that of a Mid-level War God.

On the evening of July 31st, in the martial arts practice hall of Zhang Yue's attic, Su You and Zhang Yue sat facing each other.

"Here," Su You took out a wooden box and handed it to Zhang Yue opposite him.

Zhang Yue took it and opened it directly; inside lay a Communication Watch.

"?" Zhang Yue looked at Su You in confusion.

"You have been staying in the training camp before, so the Wang Family had no chance to make a move, but tomorrow we are going on a life-and-death adventure, and the Wang Family will definitely take this month to act against you."

"I know," Zhang Yue nodded slightly, still looking at Su You with confusion.

Su You smiled and explained: "The global Communication Watch business is basically monopolized by the HR Alliance. The one you have on your wrist was also produced by the HR Alliance. The communication watches they sell all have backdoors left in them; even if you turn them off, they can track your location at any time."

Zhang Yue's expression changed slightly; the Wang Family was one of the nine core families of the HR Alliance.

"This watch is specially made by the Extreme Martial Arts Hall, and the number has already been changed. If the Wang Family wants to track your location, they must first get your number and then call your phone, so you'd better not answer anyone's calls."

Zhang Yue held the Communication Watch, was silent for a moment, and said coldly:

"During our daily sparring, you are always touching me and taking advantage of me. Do you have designs on me?"

Su You's expression was calm, and he sat up straight. Although his reasoning wasn't sound, his spirit was bold:

"That's right, I do have designs on you. I covet your body. You are so beautiful, and I am a normal man. Isn't it normal to covet your body?"

Zhang Yue's eyes were a bit dazed; she didn't seem to expect Su You to admit it so directly, and for a moment, she didn't know what to say.

Seeing that Zhang Yue didn't speak, Su You continued: "So, I covet your body. Do you mind?"

Zhang Yue's body stiffened, and she opened her mouth, but didn't know how to respond. Mind? Not mind? She didn't know how to answer, so she had to remain silent.

Su You chuckled, didn't continue the topic, and said:

"This time we are going to the Sahara Desert, which is the most dangerous of the world's three major danger zones. In the wilderness, it is very troublesome for one person to rest. Why don't the two of us form a team?"

Zhang Yue hesitated for a moment, stared at Su You, and said: "Your strength is much stronger than mine. If you team up with me, your training will be affected."

Su You shook his head and said: "We are going to the Sahara Desert this time, a place where even beast tides often appear. We must first consider survival, not training."

Zhang Yue pursed her lips. The Sahara Desert is indeed the most dangerous place on Earth, but the fact that the senior management of the training camp dared to let the students go there for training actually shows that the danger is within a controllable range.

For War General Rank students, the danger might be slightly greater, but for War God Rank students, the risk is very small. She wasn't a fool; she naturally understood that Su You's intention in teaming up with her was to protect her.

After all, she had no friends in the training camp other than Su You, and she would most likely have to venture out alone, which would undoubtedly be highly dangerous.

"Thank you," Zhang Yue's voice trembled slightly.

Su You blinked: "We're family, why thank me?"

Zhang Yue was stunned and said subconsciously: "Family?"

Su You nodded and said shamelessly: "Yeah, ever since you saved me that time, I've been yours. Don't even think about going back on your word."

Zhang Yue frowned slightly and sighed inaudibly. She had no way to deal with Su You's rogue behavior, so she had to lower her head slightly, saying nothing.

"Ahem," Su You coughed twice and said: "It's still early, why don't we spar for a while longer?"

Zhang Yue slowly raised her head, hesitated for a while, and said with little confidence: "You are not allowed to take advantage of me."

"Alright, alright, alright," Su You nodded repeatedly, his eyes devoid of any evil thoughts.

Seeing his pure gaze, Zhang Yue nodded.

A moment later, two figures flickered in the martial arts hall, and several sounds came out from time to time.

"Oops, I missed, I'm sorry, it definitely won't happen next time."

"This move is Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu; that's how they do it on TV, you can't blame me!"

"You bumped into me this time, it has nothing to do with me!"

"Don't make false accusations; this is close-quarters combat. I can swear on your conscience that I absolutely do not intend to take advantage of you."

At eleven o'clock in the evening, Su You returned to his attic bedroom, feeling satisfied, to rest.

At dawn on August 1st, the 186 students of the Elite Training Camp, along with over a dozen War God instructors leading the group, traveled to the airport in vehicles dedicated to the training camp.

Around nine in the morning, the group of nearly two hundred people boarded a Passenger Aircraft chartered by the training camp, bound for the Sahara Desert in Africa.

This Passenger Aircraft had three levels—upper, middle, and lower—which was more than enough to accommodate two hundred people, and screens in each cabin played movies so the students wouldn't be too bored.

The five members of the Kyoto Pavilion sat together in the upper cabin, with Zhang Yue and Fan Xuemei on the left, Su You in the middle, and Li Zhong and Qiao Lizheng on the right.

"Once we arrive at the Sahara Desert later, why don't the five of us form a team?"

Fan Xuemei looked toward Li Zhong and Su You, her eyes filled with hope and expectation; her strength was among the weaker batch in the training camp, so naturally, she wanted to cling to these two powerful figures.

Qiao Lizheng also looked over; his strength was decent, but he couldn't compare to Li Zhong or Su You, and he shared the same desire to rely on them.

Li Zhong frowned. He had intended to invite Su You to team up after getting off the plane; after all, their strengths were similar, and given Su You's exceptional talent, teaming up would also help foster a friendship.

Li Zhong pondered for a moment. He was set to graduate this October, so this life-or-death adventure didn't hold as much significance for him, and if Su You were willing, he wouldn't mind bringing the junior students along, just to build rapport.

Thus, Li Zhong turned his gaze to the person beside him and asked, "Junior Brother Su You, what do you think?"
