"Thump, thump—"

Fang Yi was sitting in a vehicle heading toward the Wilderness Zone, eyes closed to rest, when his phone began to ring.

He opened his eyes to check it and was surprised to find it was a call from his teacher, Jiang Fang.

Fang Yi immediately answered.

"Hello, Teacher Jiang, is there som—"

Before he could finish his question, he heard a hurried voice coming from the other end of the line.

"Fang Yi, have you not taken the Trial Tower assessment yet?"

"Correct."

Fang Yi's voice echoed clearly around Jiang Fang's phone, which was set to speaker mode.

The students and other teachers standing around her all instinctively gasped in shock.

Inside a Western-style attic.

"What! He made it into the top 100?"

William, who had been rejected point-blank by Fang Yi earlier and was feeling rather displeased, was currently sipping red wine.

Suddenly, his phone rang. He had just answered it and hadn't even spoken yet when he heard a hurried voice from the other side.

When he clearly heard the voice on the other end, the hand swirling his red wine came to an abrupt halt.

"That newcomer really has some skill... reaching the top 100 in half a month. I truly underestimated him."

William frowned deeply, but the information that followed from the phone caused him to instinctively spill the red wine in his hand.

"He hasn't taken the assessment yet?!" William's tone was filled with disbelief.

But then, his heart was filled with immense confusion.

If that newcomer was so strong, why would he refuse his challenge?

Inside City 1001.

Fang Yi was continuously searching for Advanced Beast Generals.

At this moment, he held his sword and completely slaughtered an Advanced Beast General.

The 12 Fragment Flying Needles surrounding him also returned to the sword body from the corpses of the remaining Intermediate Beast Generals.

The Mysterious Black Qi above suddenly dissipated.

"Coating the Fragment Flying Needles with the Creation Divine Light has significantly improved their toughness and density, and their flight speed has increased quite a bit as well."

His left Double Pupil Eyes flickered with black energy.

A five-kilometer radius transformed into a transparent world composed of intersecting lines.

Everything in the world was made of these rotating, intersecting lines.

Everything hidden was laid bare before these Double Pupil Eyes.

"Found them. There are over a dozen Advanced Beast Generals and nearly a hundred Intermediate Beast Generals nearby..."

Having found his prey again, Fang Yi tossed the Needle-Splitting Sword into the air, then stepped firmly onto the blade, using his spiritual telekinesis to control its flight.

Flying on a sword.

This was also the reason Fang Yi had purchased this particular blade; after all, the sword body was half a size larger than standard swords.

It could serve as a miniature Hexagonal Shield.

"My mastery of the sword has also become increasingly proficient. I have reached the mastery realm in both the halberd and the longsword, and I can even vaguely see the threshold of perfection."

Fang Yi was somewhat shocked by his own proficiency with weapons.

If he were to convert his weapon mastery into movement technique levels, it would be as if he had gone from basic training to the In-depth level in just over ten days. After a few more days of practice, he could even vaguely glimpse the threshold of perfection.

As night approached.

Fang Yi finally retracted his sword and returned.

He took out his phone and discovered a massive flood of notifications popping up.

"What is this? Why are so many people messaging me..."

He opened the messages.

He discovered they were all invitations from various factions, different families, and even individuals.

The quantity was far greater than when he had first arrived at the Elite Training Camp.

However, just as he reached the main gate of the training camp, not far from the Black Dragon Statue, he saw his teacher Jiang Fang standing to one side, seemingly waiting for someone.

When Fang Yi approached, Jiang Fang revealed a smile and walked quickly to meet him.

"Teacher, this is..."

"Fang Yi, come here."

With a look of confusion, Fang Yi walked into the Elite Training Camp alongside Jiang Fang, chatting as they moved.

From her words, Fang Yi learned that his ranking had already risen to 99th place; having only entered the Elite Training Camp half a month ago, he had already achieved such a result.

It had already caused a stir among the higher-ups.

Not to mention that Fang Yi was already a subject of special attention.

When Yang Hui and his group brought him into the Elite Training Camp and signed the contract, they had already reported his special circumstances, so the higher-ups were aware of even the slightest movement from Fang Yi.

Let alone a result like this.

"I intend to have you take the Trial Tower assessment tomorrow; waiting until the 2nd of next month is a bit too long."

"Is it long...?"

Today was the 27th, and until the 2nd of next month, it was only about 6 days, less than a week.

Jiang Fang smiled and said, "Fang Yi, you shouldn't be satisfied with just 99th place, right? If you take the assessment tomorrow, you can push even further, and your ranking will definitely be able to break into the top 50."

"Do you know how many people have broken into the top 100 within a month of entering the Elite Training Camp?"

After listening, Fang Yi pondered for a moment and replied, "Five."

"Correct, but like you, someone who broke into the top 100 in just half a month—there hasn't been a single one! You have already created a new history for our Elite Training Camp, so why not make that history even bigger?"

On Jiang Fang's usually stern face, a joy of excitement and appreciation flickered.

"Fine, early assessment or late assessment, it's actually the same to me." After thinking it over, Fang Yi agreed.

"I was waiting for those words. Tomorrow at noon, see you in the trial room."

"Understood."

After the agreement was made.

Fang Yi bid farewell to Jiang Fang and returned to his own villa.

The 28th.

Jiang Fang arranged for Fang Yi to take the assessment between 12:00 PM and 1:00 PM. There would also be an hour of usage time in the evening.

The 9th floor of the Nine-Layered Tower.

At this moment, the area around the trial room was already crowded with many people.

These people had basically all come to wait for Fang Yi to undergo his assessment.

Led by Jiang Fang, Fang Yi arrived at the door. The trial room's scanning instrument scanned Fang Yi, and after confirming his identity was correct, he was allowed to enter.

"An hour of assessment time is also equivalent to an hour of trial time. How far do you think Fang Yi can make it?"

"I'm not sure of the specifics, but he should be able to make it to the 2nd floor."

"Nonsense, this kid Fang Yi rushed into the top 100 solely based on the combat points from hunting monsters. That at least proves he has the strength; passing the 2nd floor is basically a sure thing."

"That's true, but it's hard to say what happens after that."

Those chatting nearby were all from Huaxia.

Other foreign students didn't have a topic of discussion, but they were also pondering related thoughts in their minds.

Inside the trial room.

Fang Yi turned on the lights, then lay down on the sofa and picked up the blue helmet.

This is my first time doing the trial, I wonder how far I can go...

After entering the virtual space.

Fang Yi's strength would be restricted to that of a Junior Warrior, and he would also be unable to use his spiritual force.

Basically, he would have to rely entirely on his own combat experience, force exertion, and techniques to clear the levels, thereby testing a person's true combat ability.

The Trial Tower was incredibly towering.

After getting a feel for his body, Fang Yi headed toward the inside of the tower.

On the black stone pillar at the edge, information such as Fang Yi's name was engraved.

Name: Fang Yi

Identity: Elite Training Camp Student

Trial Tower Level: 1

Immediately, an electronic voice echoed through the space.

"Fang Yi, please select your combat suit, weapons..."

Fang Yi immediately began to select his equipment; a combat suit, a battle halberd, and a series of other gear appeared on the ground in front of him.

After putting everything on.

He walked toward the pitch-black, lightless entrance ahead.
