While Su You was immersed in communicating with You Meng within the virtual space, the Demon Blade Legion and the Wang Family of Kyoto learned one after another about what had happened in the Sahara Desert.
Abe Qinghai's mood was clearly not very pleasant; Beiyuan Gang was not only a War God of the Demon Blade Legion but also currently the third-ranked expert in Japan.
However, as the leader of a mercenary group, Abe Qinghai remained rational and had no intention of seeking revenge for the death of Beiyuan Gang.
On the other side, the Wang Family of Kyoto was quite unsettled after receiving the news.
In a spacious hall, a bald old man sat at the head of the room with a gloomy face, while Wang Wenyou and Wang Wenyun stood to the side, looking troubled.
The bald old man said in a deep voice, "That little girl should have returned to the Elite Training Camp by now, right?"
Wang Wenyou hurriedly replied, "Yes, she should be back. Dad, this time..."
The bald old man waved his hand, "No need to explain. I already know what happened."
Wang Wenyun also spoke up, "Dad, we can't blame big brother for this. If that little bastard named Su You hadn't interfered, it would have been a success."
"Hmph, you still have the nerve to speak." The bald old man glared at Wang Wenyun, "If it weren't for the stupid thing you did, our family would have had another War God in a few years!"
"I'm a little bastard, then what does that make you?"
Wang Wenyun muttered to himself, but noticing his father's unpleasant expression, he quickly changed the subject, "Dad, that bastard Su You dared to interfere in our family's business; we have to teach him a lesson, right?"
The bald old man looked at Wang Wenyun with a face ashen with anger, looking at him as if he were a disappointment:
"Eighteen years old, killing a mid-level War God like Beiyuan Gang—he will definitely be one of the core high-level figures of the Extreme Martial Arts Hall in the future. It is even highly likely that he will become an Inspector. Do you think we haven't offended enough people as it is?"
Wang Wenyun gave a sheepish smile, and Wang Wenyou interjected, "Dad, then what about this matter..."
The bald old man took a deep breath and said slowly, "They are already back at the Elite Training Camp; what else can we do? Do you dare to make a move there? Let it rest for now and wait for the next opportunity!"
Returning to the training camp, Su You went to Zhang Yue's villa after taking a shower. As for You Meng, she was using Su You's Communication Watch to browse the Earth's information network, collecting various novels, comics, and movies.
Having been lonely for over eight hundred thousand epochs and unable to connect to the Virtual Universe, these were the only things she could use to pass the time for now.
Upon entering the living room, Su You saw Zhang Yue. She had clearly just finished showering as well, sitting on the sofa with her shoulder-length hair loose, her delicate cheeks flushed and glowing.
Su You walked over and sat right next to her. Just as Zhang Yue tried to shift to the left, Su You's left hand reached behind her and pressed onto her shoulder.
Zhang Yue shuddered violently, her body instantly tensing up, her breathing becoming slightly rapid.
"Why so nervous? We already hugged back in the desert, didn't we!"
Zhang Yue rolled her eyes. In the desert, they had only hugged when they were running away from an ant swarm, and she had been wearing a thick combat suit. But now, she was only wearing a thin T-shirt.
Su You's eyes crinkled with a smile. Without using much force, he pulled Zhang Yue into his arms, his left hand slowly sliding down from her shoulder.
"You said you had something to tell me when we got back. Why aren't you saying anything now?"
His hot breath brushed against her ear, causing Zhang Yue's face to turn bright red. She felt her entire body go numb, and she forced herself to endure the strange sensation as she spoke, "I-I don't have anything to say!"
Su You moved his left hand up to wrap around Zhang Yue, while his right hand cupped her face. He looked into her eyes and asked softly, "Really?"
Zhang Yue's cheeks were crimson, and not daring to meet Su You's gaze, she simply closed her eyes.
Su You's eyes lit up, and he lowered his head to kiss her, his right hand releasing her face and sliding down a bit.
The next afternoon, Su You and Zhang Yue went to the Extreme Building in Hongning Base City to sell the monster materials they had obtained that month.
Five low-level lord-class monsters and a large amount of mid- and high-level beast general materials were sold for a total of 9 billion Huaxia Currency. This was even with the Extreme Martial Arts Hall's relatively low acquisition prices; if sold at the HR Alliance, the total price could have reached over 13 billion.
Because August was the month for the life-and-death adventure, the equipment usage time for September was allocated based on the rankings from July.
Su You had been ranked 12th in July, so he had 6 hours of usage time for both the Trial Room and the Gravity Chamber in September.
In the early hours of September 1st, Su You went straight to the Trial Room and put on the Consciousness Sensor helmet.
"How is it? You Meng, can you enter the virtual space of this Trial Tower?" Su You communicated with You Meng using his consciousness.
You Meng was holding a virtual novel and said triumphantly, "Of course. It's just an ordinary virtual space. In the future, you won't need to wear that helmet to connect at any time."
Su You nodded and continued to ask, "Can you copy a Trial Tower?"
The Elite Training Camp's Trial Tower could only be entered by one person at a time. Although Su You could use You Meng to connect at any time, doing so would affect others' usage and would surely be discovered by the training camp.
"Of course I can, as long as I copy its data." You Meng paused for five seconds before continuing, "Alright, the Trial Tower has been built right next to the castle in the virtual space. You can go and test yourself whenever you want."
"Uh, that fast?" Su You said in astonishment.
You Meng tilted her head slightly, "Pfft, look who you're talking to?"
Su You smiled and shook his head, then stepped directly into the Trial Tower before him.
Nearly an hour later, Su You left the Nine-Story Tower with a smile. After his body's explosive force broke through, he had barely managed to keep up with the speed of the Black Armored Ant Queen.
However, due to the interference of the large number of black armored ants, he died three times, bringing his Trial Tower level to 4.2, but he just couldn't manage to kill the Black Armored Ant Queen.
It wasn't until the fourth attempt, when his sword technique broke through to the realm level, that the interference from the black armored ants weakened significantly for him. Only then did he seize the opportunity to pass the A-stage of the fourth floor in one go.
The difficulty of the subsequent B-stage increased significantly. Su You held on for seven minutes before being overwhelmed by the endless black armored ants. In the end, his Trial Tower level was set at 4.4, enough to rival the weaker Planetary Level powerhouses on Earth.
After returning to the villa, You Meng guided Su You's consciousness into the private virtual space she had constructed.
Outside the luxurious castle, Su You and You Meng appeared once again. You Meng reached out and pointed to the right of the castle. Su You followed her gesture and looked over, immediately seeing the tower that soared into the clouds.
"That is the Trial Tower I just replicated; you can enter it to train whenever you like from now on."
Su You nodded, feeling inexplicably pleased.
"Let's go, follow me inside first."
You Meng waved her hand, and the castle gates slowly creaked open. Su You followed her inside, his eyes lingering greedily on the many virtual beauties of various races they passed along the way.
You Meng glanced at Su You and said with disdain, "They are all virtual, what is there to look at? Once you become a powerhouse in the universe, you can have as many as you want."
Su You felt a surge of heat in his chest, withdrew his gaze, and followed You Meng into a massive room within the castle.
"From now on, whenever you enter the virtual space, this is where you will primarily train. Come, sit down first."
The two sat cross-legged one after the other, and You Meng continued:
"Whether you are a spirit reader or a martial artist, you must attach great importance to these five aspects: spirit, willpower, origin energy, physical force output, and realm. You cannot afford to have any shortcomings."
"Your brain domain width is quite good, so your spirit should be relatively strong as well."
"You can't even walk straight when you see a pretty girl; your willpower is weak. However, there is no way to temper that for now, so we will have to wait until you enter the universe."
"Regarding origin energy, you are currently only at the apprentice level 7. Relying solely on absorbing cosmic energy is far too inefficient, and most of your time would be wasted on it. It is best to find some treasures for cultivation."
"Your physical force output is only 3.6, which is too weak. From now on, you will practice the 360 Basic Martial Arts Forms diligently every day. Before you reach the Planetary Level, your physical force output must reach at least 10."
"As for realms, the divisions in the universe are Basic—Concept—Domain—World (Law). The divisions you have on Earth—such as Micro, Mastery, Perfection, and Completion—are all just basic realms in the universe. Your movement techniques and sword techniques have both entered the Concept level, which is considered quite decent."
