Unintentional Act

October 15th.

Morning, the temperature was gradually dropping.

The equipment Fang Yi purchased arrived at the station, and he took out the various items, arranging them on the weapon rack in the corner of his attic living room.

Once everything was settled, Fang Yi received a message from Jiang Fang.

Nine-Layered Tower.

Under the guidance of his instructor Jiang Fang, Fang Yi went through the orientation process for new students, visiting the Trial Room, the Gravity Chamber, and the Challenge Room.

At the same time, they arranged his subsequent schedule.

Since Fang Yi's ID number ended in an odd digit, he was to follow the rule of heading to the Wilderness Zone to fight on odd-numbered days and remaining in the Training Camp to cultivate and study on even-numbered days.

After completing all the procedures.

Fang Yi returned to his attic, changed into his new equipment, and immediately set off for the Wilderness Zone with his senior, Zhao Ruo.

"Fang Yi, over here, over here!"

Led by Zhao Ruo, Fang Yi and several dozen other students headed toward the Wilderness Zone, City 1001, located about 300 kilometers outside the Training Camp.

The Training Camp had strict regulations.

All students were only permitted to hunt within this city, and they were forbidden from privately trading monster materials, helping others inflate their combat achievement points, or killing one another.

Within the dilapidated streets.

Fang Yi held his War Halberd, weaving through the herd of beasts.

This was the first time Fang Yi had fought using a weapon, and the surrounding herd consisted entirely of intermediate Beast General level monsters.

Yet, wherever the cold light passed, only piles of monster corpses remained. His combat achievement points were soaring, and Fang Yi's mastery of the weapon was becoming increasingly proficient.

Other students in the vicinity.

After passing by this area and seeing the ground covered in corpses, they were all left in astonishment.

"What the hell! So many corpses, who did this?"

"Not sure..."

"Don't worry about it, hurry up and keep looking for monsters to earn achievement points."

Back at the Training Camp, after Fang Yi finished practicing with his War Halberd, he began practicing swordsmanship, while Jiang Fang's other students were all in the Blade Technique Weapon Room.

Fang Yi was the only exception, so he practiced in the Training Camp's Practice Hall.

Jiang Fang would walk between the two locations from time to time to check on everyone's progress.

In terms of cultivation level, Fang Yi was not inferior to Jiang Fang, but when it came to weapon mastery, Fang Yi was still a novice.

The levels of weapon mastery, such as blade technique and sword technique, were divided into four stages: Foundation, Mastery, Perfection, and Intent.

Watching Fang Yi practice, Jiang Fang felt her inner shock growing stronger.

Previously, she had sought out Yang Hui to learn the details of Fang Yi's background, and upon discovering that he had entered the Training Camp at the level of an advanced War General, she had been quite surprised.

After all, the next step up from there was the War God level!

It was clear that this kid's talent was astonishing.

However, at the time, Jiang Fang's shock was only based on the information on paper.

But now.

"Only one day has passed, and Fang Yi's attainment in weapon mastery is already showing signs of reaching the Mastery stage..." Jiang Fang's expression remained cold and calm, but her heart was already churning with turbulent waves.

This was the first time she had ever seen such a terrifying student.

The facts proved it.

Fang Yi's previous foundation had been laid exceptionally well.

So much so that when he began to practice with weapons, his speed of comprehension and improvement was faster than most others.

Because Fang Yi was a newly joined student and had displayed such immense talent.

He was permitted to take the trial assessment before the end of November.

Since he had plenty of time.

Fang Yi poured his heart and soul into hunting in the Wilderness Zone and improving his weapon proficiency.

He did not neglect his cultivation of Genetic Origin Energy, either. Everything he could practice and everything that could lead to improvement was being carried out.

In less than a week.

Fang Yi had hunted until his hands were sore in the Wilderness Zone, City 1001. It reached the point where many students, while passing through certain streets, could see piles upon piles of corpses.

The sight was truly terrifying.

The 21st.

In the morning, as Fang Yi prepared to head to the Wilderness Zone, he encountered several blond foreign students.

The group looked at Fang Yi with smiles on their faces.

"Hello, student Fang Yi."

The leading blond youth stood at the front. Fang Yi looked at them, nodded slightly, and responded politely.

However, before any conversation could truly begin.

Fang Yi frowned slightly as he looked at the other party's blond hair.

Once the other party introduced himself, Fang Yi confirmed his suspicions: this was the very same William who had challenged Luo Feng the first time he arrived at the Elite Preparatory Camp.

He could even be considered a philanthropist.

After all, he was essentially giving away 5 billion.

Could this guy be looking to spar with me? The thought immediately popped into Fang Yi's mind upon learning his name.

Sure enough.

He saw William say enthusiastically, "Fang Yi, I would like to challenge you to..."

"Not interested, I don't accept challenges, and I have things to attend to. Thank you."

Fang Yi refused politely and directly. It wasn't that he didn't want to earn the money.

It was just that compared to making money, his current goal was to focus on increasing his combat experience and weapon proficiency.

If he really wanted to make money, he could just challenge all the other students later on.

The blunt refusal, coupled with a polite response, left William speechless.

"Ah..."

After Fang Yi's refusal, he headed toward the Wilderness Zone to continue hunting.

He left the group of foreigners standing there, watching his departing back.

"Haha, William, it seems you didn't expect to be rejected so bluntly, did you?"

On the side of the road, several passing Huaxia students looked at William's stiff expression with smiles on their faces.

However, the foreigners beside William stepped in to smooth things over: "That kid is smart; he knows he's no match for William and is afraid of losing face, so he just refused."

"Mm, after all, he's just a newcomer. William, don't take it to heart."

"That's right, we have to give the newcomer some face. Since he just arrived, he probably doesn't have much money on him, so it's normal for him to decline the challenge."

The passing Huaxia students just smiled lightly upon hearing this.

Knowing that those people were just trying to save face for William, they didn't say anything more.

After all, they were all students of Jiang Fang.

During her lessons, their teacher had inadvertently revealed that Fang Yi's talent was extremely high, perhaps even on par with them, his seniors.

Therefore, they all had their own guesses about his strength.

"Fang Yi, is it..." William narrowed his eyes as he watched the departing figure and said softly, "We must have a match. I want to see what makes this guy worthy of such praise from the teachers."

Trouble finds those who don't seek it.

On the road.

Fang Yi sneezed for no reason, but he didn't pay it much mind. He kept his focus on today's hunting and training.

The 27th.

Many people were checking their rankings, as there was only one day left until the end of the month.

Fang Yi also took a look. Even without having taken the Trial Tower assessment, he had inadvertently climbed to 100th place.

"I'll take the assessment on the 2nd of next month, then prepare to start climbing the tower..."

Looking at his ranking, Fang Yi didn't have much of an emotional reaction. He had treated the past half-month as an adjustment period.

He had poured his heart and soul into improving his combat techniques and awareness, as well as practicing with his dual weapons. The points for this ranking had all been accumulated through hunting in the Wilderness Zone.

"Let's see what level I can reach relying solely on combat proficiency, weapon techniques, and force exertion, without any advantage in rank."

"I'll send a message to teacher Jiang Fang first to let her know I'll be taking the assessment on the 2nd of next month."

Fang Yi took out his phone to compose the message while continuing toward the Wilderness Zone to hunt and gain combat experience.

However, when other students and teachers checked the point rankings in front of the Black Dragon sculpture, they were shocked to see that Fang Yi, a newcomer who had only been there for half a month, had actually surged into 100th place.

They were already at a loss for words.

"Teacher, everything you said is true!"

Several students stood beside Jiang Fang.

All of them looked at the ranking on the display screen with expressions of disbelief.

Even Jiang Fang was somewhat dazed and stunned.

She never expected that Fang Yi would be able to charge into the top 100 after having only been in the Training Camp for half a month!

Normally, Fang Yi's results should only be considered valid observation data starting next month. After all, he had just entered the Training Camp, and the results shown in half a month were naturally limited and unfair.

Because everyone else had accumulated their points over a full month of cultivation.

Since Fang Yi was a newcomer who had just arrived, he lagged behind the others in terms of time, so they didn't pay much attention to his performance over these past two weeks.

Basically, everyone was waiting to see how Fang Yi would perform next month.

But no one expected that Fang Yi would be so diligent and serious!

He had just pulled off a massive surprise for everyone!

"This kid Fang Yi really brings honor to our Huaxia."

"Hahaha, our Huaxia is about to have another powerhouse."

At this moment, Jiang Fang suddenly received a message, in which Fang Yi informed her that he was preparing to take the assessment on the 2nd.

"Fang Yi hasn't taken the Trial Tower assessment yet?"

Jiang Fang looked at the message on the screen, her brows furrowed, and she subconsciously spoke the content of the message aloud.

The voice wasn't loud, but it reached everyone's ears clearly.

Many students and teachers turned to look in unison.

"What!?"

"What do you mean he's taking the assessment on the 2nd of next month?"

"Are you saying he hasn't taken a single assessment in these two weeks? He reached the top 100 without even passing the Trial Tower assessment, and he did it in just half a month... You've got to be kidding me."
