On February 27, 2057, Chen Daolin and Ji Xuan bid farewell to their family and friends and returned to the Elite Training Camp.

By last December, Chen Daolin's combat power amplitude had already reached 12, just enough to break into the top twenty of the Black Dragon Ranking, and he was currently ranked nineteenth in the training camp.

As for Ji Xuan, she was ranked forty-ninth. Her combat power amplitude had also exceeded 8.0, reaching an elite level, which was already equivalent to the average level of students who had been in the training camp for four years.

In March, a new round of competition began.

On March 1st, Chen Daolin and Ji Xuan had a rare opportunity to go out together to hunt monsters; their schedules had always been staggered in the past.

With the current strength of Chen Daolin and Ji Xuan, hunting monsters was like using a cheat code. Whether it was Chen Daolin, whose punch force easily exceeded one million kilograms, or Ji Xuan, a Spirit Reader at the high-level God of War level, killing monsters was completely effortless for them. If they didn't want to graduate from the Elite Training Camp right now, they could hunt Lord Level monsters at will.

Of course, if you really killed two Lord Level monsters and reported it, then congratulations, you are already a God of War, and you have graduated.

In March, the rankings of Chen Daolin and Ji Xuan rose rapidly, attracting much attention.

Chen Daolin's Trial Tower level had already reached 3.5. As long as he completely cleared the 3rd floor, his Trial Tower level would be 4.0. Multiplied by his 4.0 punch force exertion level, his combat power amplitude would reach 16.

Currently, not a single person in the entire training camp had a combat power amplitude that could reach 16.

If Chen Daolin could reach a combat power amplitude of 16 now, he could obtain another huge reward from the contract terms signed with the Extreme Martial Arts Hall, which was a great temptation for him.

There were many other benefits, but of course, there were also troubles. For example, the solicitation from various forces would become more frequent and frantic, and if Hong or Thunder God heard about it, they might come over to take him as a disciple.

He was not yet nineteen years old and had only been in the training camp for half a year, yet he had already reached a combat power amplitude of 16. In the entire history of the training camp, he was currently the only one.

He was going to create history and become a legend of the training camp.

In the future, he might even become a myth.

After some thought, Chen Daolin finally decided to raise his combat power amplitude to 16 by the end of March.

The main reason was that the training camp could no longer keep up with his cultivation progress, or rather, he was no longer satisfied with the methodical and step-by-step cultivation in the training camp. He craved a wider sky and more blood-pumping battles.

Moreover, having had two months of cultivation time back in Jiangnan, Chen Daolin had an excuse for his progress to outsiders.

Why are you progressing so fast?

Because I have been working hard and practicing diligently at home.

I am not only a genius, but I am also hardworking and persistent.

So, it is perfectly normal to progress a little faster.

That was basically the gist of it.

In the Virtual Space, Chen Daolin appeared on the boundless silver earth. The only building was the towering, majestic seven-story giant tower not far away. He walked a few steps to the main entrance under the Trial Tower and saw the black stone pillar on the left. The black stone pillar displayed an inscription—

"Name: Chen Daolin

Gender: Male

Identity: Official Student of the Elite Training Camp

Trial Tower Level: 3.5"

The God of War teacher Yang Hui, who had brought him here, was only at 3.2. In the blink of an eye, he had long since surpassed Yang Hui's results, and in the future, he would surpass even more people.

Chen Daolin's eyes revealed a strong fighting spirit. His goal was to one day become number one, and even surpass Hong.

Only with challenging tasks is life interesting, isn't it?

Chen Daolin stepped into the black entrance, the world shifted, and the next moment, he appeared in a wilderness.

The first floor of the Trial Tower was a vast grassland, and the opponents were Mang Bulls.

The second floor of the Trial Tower was a vast desert, and the opponents were Iron-Armored Scorpions.

And now, arriving at the third floor of the Trial Tower, the terrain had become a desolate wasteland. It was empty all around, and only Chen Daolin stood there alone.

"Third floor, stage B trial. Student Chen Daolin, your goal is to kill 190 low-level Beast General Level Golden Vultures and ten mid-level Beast General Level Golden Vultures within thirty minutes! Good luck!" As soon as this electronic voice fell, a dark mass of avian monsters suddenly appeared in the sky above the wilderness.

The third floor of the Trial Tower was divided into three stages. Clearing each stage would grant combat records of 3.3, 3.6, and 4.0 respectively. Previously, Chen Daolin had held back and did not clear the third floor directly, but now, Chen Daolin decided to show his true strength.

"Come on!" Chen Daolin's gaze was cold. With a long spear in one hand and a shield in the other, he calmly watched the large flock of Golden Vultures appearing overhead.

"Caw~~" A piercing cry rang out.

The Golden Vulture flock dove down from high altitude like a dense golden cloud, with great momentum. These Golden Vultures were not only ferocious but also possessed the advantage of the air. If a human was grabbed by the sharp claws of an avian monster, they could be lifted directly into the air. With no leverage in mid-air, facing a group of monsters meant certain death. Because the difficulty was so high, many God of War teachers had been stuck on the third floor.

A 4.0 punch force exertion level and a 4.0 Trial Tower level were a watershed for God of War strength. Generally, if one did not exceed this limit, it was basically very difficult to climb to the limit of a God of War.

And those who could reach this level were the most brilliant and outstanding people among the training camp students.

Currently, there were a few who had reached a 4.0 punch force exertion level or a 4.0 Trial Tower level individually, but there was not a single one who could reach both at the same time.

The Golden Vulture flock surged over like a tidal wave, as if they would drown Chen Daolin in the golden tide in the next instant. But Chen Daolin remained unmoved, his face cold and stern. He raised the long spear in his hand and suddenly moved.

In that instant, it was as if a thunderbolt had exploded in the world.

The sound of wind whistled through the air, as if countless arrows had been fired, and as if spring rain was quietly pattering against leaves.

Countless spear shadows emerged, dense and layered, forming a windproof forest of spears that completely enveloped the fan-shaped space in front of him.

The Golden Vultures charging at the front only felt a blur before their eyes, felt a pain in their bodies, and then endless agony surged up. In a brief moment, they were directly torn apart and shattered by the violent force, with flesh and feathers flying everywhere.

Cruel!

Beautiful!

Spectacular!

The spear shadows were indestructible, seemingly endless, like the sharpest of awls. The tide formed by the Golden Vulture slammed into the tip of this awl, vanishing without a trace, not even stirring up a splash.

The void in front of Chen Daolin had turned into a zone of death.

The spear shadows were like a forest, like the wind, like the most ferocious flames, swallowing the Golden Vultures that kept charging forward until not a single one remained.

Chen Daolin did not make any unnecessary dodging movements; he didn't even move his feet a single step. He simply stood there, thrusting his spear, thrusting again and again, with only one thought in his mind.

Thrust!

Thrust!

Thrust!

Rumble~~ Chen Daolin's body trembled violently as a surge of power traveled from within his body to the shaft of the spear. The next moment, the power of the spear surged abruptly, and the countless spear shadows vanished in an instant, coalescing into that single, most solid, most ferocious strike in the center.

When this strike appeared, its momentum was magnificent, as if it could pierce through the very heavens and earth!

From simple to complex, then from complex back to simple. After comprehending the first level of World Destroyer last October, and following nearly five months of grueling practice, Chen Daolin finally comprehended the second level of World Destroyer today while thrusting his spear with heart-felt abandon. His force output increased by another ninety percent, reaching 2.8 times his base power!

The level of his spear technique had also taken a massive leap forward, nearing the peak of mastery.

His force rating had reached an astonishing 14.

His physical strength also surged along with it.

When striking with full force, his attack power had reached a terrifying two million kilograms!

Among the God of War level, this was simply unheard of, worthy of being called invincible!

The last Golden Vulture was slain, and the spear shadows dissipated, leaving only countless golden feathers and blood spray drifting in mid-air, looking so tragically beautiful under the radiance of the sun.

Chen Daolin's Trial Tower rating had reached 3.6!
