Progress

At 10:00 PM on September 1st, the Elite Training Camp students who had gone out on odd-numbered days to hunt monsters returned one after another. A line of dedicated training camp vehicles pulled up to the main entrance, and students stepped out, many still stained with blood.

Staff from the Extreme Martial Arts Hall were stationed on the transport vehicles to purchase these materials, depositing the money directly into Chen Daolin's account. This also increased his contribution points and earned him Battle Achievement Points within the training camp.

"Blood-Eyed Goat, price 5.6 million, 228 contribution points, 1 Battle Achievement Point."

"Iron-Toothed Tiger, price 7.7 million, 258 contribution points, 1 Battle Achievement Point."

"Mountain-Bearing Deer, price 5.22 million, 211 contribution points, 1 Battle Achievement Point."

Chen Daolin had spent the entire day working hard to hunt monsters. Of course, he didn't dare provoke Beast General Level monsters of the intermediate rank; instead, he sought out the weaker, easier-to-hunt primary Beast General Level monsters, using the combat to hone his spear techniques and footwork.

"Five kills today. Not bad luck," Chen Daolin thought. Although his body was exhausted, his mood was good.

The materials of primary Beast General Level monsters generally range from several million to ten million. Intermediate Beast General Level materials range from ten million to several tens of millions, with prices fluctuating significantly based on the monster's species, rank, and the condition of the materials.

If sold to the HR Alliance mall, advanced Beast General Level monster materials generally fetch between 50 million and 500 million. A single primary Lord Level monster, if on the weaker side, can sell for 500 million to 1 billion Huaxia coins.

Selling monster materials to the Extreme Martial Arts Hall yields a lower price, but the Extreme Martial Arts Hall provides a significant amount of contribution points, converting one-third of the monster's value into points.

Five primary Beast General Level monsters brought Chen Daolin a total income of over 20 million. And this was just from a single day of hunting.

Of course, this was mainly because Chen Daolin had good luck today. Furthermore, City 1001 was specifically designated by the training camp for students to hunt in, meaning Beast General Level monsters were relatively dense, saving him from spending too much time and energy searching for prey.

For squads of Warlord Level martial artists roaming the Wilderness Area outside, they might not even find suitable prey in a week. Their combined strength might not necessarily be weaker than Chen Daolin's.

Of course, Chen Daolin's strength was not bad either. Chen Daolin always felt he was weak, but that was only in comparison to the monstrous geniuses in the Elite Training Camp; in reality, he was a monster himself.

Otherwise, how many people could rely on an advanced Warrior Level physique to erupt with enough power to kill a primary Beast General Level monster?

Chen Daolin walked into the main entrance of the training camp and glanced at the giant Black Dragon sculpture. He had earned 5 Battle Achievement Points today, raising his ranking to 87. Since there were 91 students in this batch who went out to hunt, his hunting efficiency was actually higher than 4 other people. Of course, this didn't mean he was stronger than those 4; it just meant he had good luck and encountered monsters that were easier to kill.

The ranking points were calculated by multiplying the combat power amplitude by the Battle Achievement Points. Chen Daolin's fist force output level was 1.0, and his Trial Tower level was 1.0, so his combat power amplitude was also 1.0. His final score was only 5. If he didn't increase his combat power amplitude, his ranking would continue to drop.

Any student with a higher combat power amplitude would eventually far surpass him.

"Tomorrow, the students on even-numbered days will go out to hunt, so I will stay in the training camp to train properly. Having gone through many battles, I have gained some insights," Chen Daolin thought to himself.

Returning to the Jiangnan Pavilion courtyard, Shi Jiang and Zhao Ruo were not there; they were likely at the Nine-Layered Tower. Ji Xuan should have been in her apartment, but it was so late that Chen Daolin didn't want to disturb her. He returned to his own apartment to shower, eat, practice for a while, and then went to sleep.

In September, Chen Daolin settled into a routine of going out to hunt monsters on odd-numbered days and staying in the training camp to train on even-numbered days. During the day, he listened to lectures from God of War instructors and received guidance from his teacher, Situ Bolei. Many things he hadn't understood before suddenly became clear, as if he had been enlightened, and his understanding of spear techniques and footwork deepened significantly.

In the Gravity Room, the blade technique training room, and the underground secret chamber of the Jiangnan Pavilion, Chen Daolin left behind his hard-earned sweat.

He practiced tirelessly, diligently, and selflessly.

He constantly improved his spear techniques and footwork.

Every day, his strength made progress.

In a training chamber on the seventh floor of the Nine-Layered Tower, Chen Daolin wore a loose white training suit, barefoot on the silver metal floor. Holding a bronze-colored long spear, he continuously thrust and swung. Flowers of spear light bloomed, dazzling to the extreme; the scene was as beautiful as a painting, with the whistling sound of the spear breaking the air echoing through the chamber.

Hoo. Chen Daolin suddenly retracted his spear and stopped. He closed his eyes, his brows furrowed, as his brain replayed every detail of the practice he had just performed.

"No, that's not it. That's not the right feeling."

During this half-month of training and fighting monsters, Chen Daolin's understanding of spear techniques and footwork had improved by leaps and bounds. Vaguely, he had found the train of thought for the first level of the World Destroyer spear technique.

He had an intuition that if he could find that line of thought and follow it, he would definitely be able to master the first level of World Destroyer.

Chen Daolin's footwork had also improved rapidly. His foundation was already very solid, and his footwork was more proficient than before, but he was still far from the Micro-level realm, where one could exert extremely fine control over power and body to make the most exquisite dodges at the lowest cost.

Even in the various movements and dodges during his fights with monsters, there were still many flaws.

For this reason, when Chen Daolin went out to hunt monsters, he deliberately used his base strength without activating the King Kai Fist to fight and grapple with groups of monsters, constantly honing his footwork under the siege of the monster packs.

However, the Micro-level footwork was something even many veteran Warlord Level martial artists had not mastered, so it was not easy to cultivate.

"Chen."

"Chen."

"Chen, long time no see. Let's grab a drink when you have time."

As Chen Daolin walked out of the secret chamber, some acquaintances he passed greeted him.

There were Black people, White people, and, of course, the majority were from Huaxia.

During his days at the training camp, Chen Daolin had also met many young geniuses from all over the world. They befriended each other and formed groups; joining the Elite Training Camp wasn't just about becoming a God of War, but also about expanding one's connections.

Many people outside couldn't even dream of seeing a God of War.

But here, Chen Daolin could see a whole bunch of them at any time.

For example, his senior brother Shi Jiang, who lived in the same courtyard, was a super powerhouse whose strength was stably ranked in the top ten of the Black Dragon Ranking; in terms of strength, he was even stronger than the average primary God of War.

Chu Qiang, who had a good relationship with him, was a monster who ranked second on the Black Dragon Ranking in August; once he graduated, he would be a big shot in a certain operational department of the Huaxia military.

His teacher, Situ Bolei, went without saying—a high-level God of War who was famous in the God of War circles and had countless God of War friends.

Invisibly, this was also a form of power and resources.

This was networking; this was connections.

In some respects, in the eyes of many, Chen Daolin was already a big shot himself.

After 10:00 PM, when Chen Daolin returned to the Jiangnan Pavilion, he happened to see Ji Xuan returning from outside, looking travel-worn.

Ji Xuan had also taken a God of War level blade technique expert from the training camp, Jiang Fang, as her teacher. She went out to hunt monsters on even-numbered days and stayed in the training camp to train on odd-numbered days, which happened to be the opposite of Chen Daolin's schedule.

However, Chen Daolin knew that Ji Xuan was a Spirit Reader. Spirit Readers manipulated hidden weapons to kill monsters, and their efficiency was far higher than that of martial artists, which was why Ji Xuan's ranking points had already surpassed Chen Daolin's.

Chen Daolin actually harbored a desire to compete with Ji Xuan, after all, they had both entered the Elite Training Camp at the same time.

It was just that as a Spirit Reader, Ji Xuan, whose combat power amplitude was much higher than Chen Daolin's, was far more dazzling outside than he was.
