Noon, 1:17.

"Fang Yi, I'm not fighting, I won't fight you. I'm a kind-hearted person who doesn't like conflict," William said with a straight face.

"That's not what you were like before."

Fang Yi had already arrived in the living room of the other's house.

After all, among the people he had invited, William was the only one left he hadn't fought yet; he had already sparred with all the other foreign students.

"Not fighting, I'm just not fighting! Don't try to force me, I'm not accepting, period."

After saying this, William turned his head away and finished the red wine in his hand.

Seeing this, Fang Yi shook his head helplessly, finding it difficult to force the other party.

That's not right.

The guy clearly wasn't like this in the original story.

After all, the arrogant way he challenged Luo Feng back then was unforgettable. He was, after all, his first pot of gold, and one that was delivered voluntarily at that.

Just as Fang Yi was about to leave, he suddenly heard William muttering softly behind him.

"What's the fun in fighting students? You should go challenge the teachers of the Training Camp..."

These words from William.

Instantly made Fang Yi's eyes light up.

"That's right! The teachers in the Training Camp are all War God level, and their combat experience is nothing to sneeze at."

Fang Yi left with quick strides, his speed so fast that the surrounding gust of wind automatically slammed the door shut.

William turned his head in sudden confusion, and seeing Fang Yi run off so quickly, his pupils dilated in shock.

He thought to himself.

"This guy, he wouldn't really go and challenge the other teachers, would he!?"

Blade Technique Training Room.

"A wagered fight?"

Jiang Fang, wearing a white sports crop top and drenched in sweat, looked at the Fang Yi before her.

"Yes, I've already fought the top 50 and other stronger students. Although a few of the battles were hard-won, I basically won them all in the end."

Jiang Fang wasn't surprised to hear this; Fang Yi had made great progress during this period.

"I can understand that you want to get stronger, but there is no rule in the Training Camp about challenging teachers. Besides, if you actually win against a teacher, you would count as having graduated as a War God, you know~"

"Hmm? Is that so."

Fang Yi lowered his head slightly, pondering the pros and cons in his mind.

Seeing this, Jiang Fang shook her head helplessly, wiped the sweat from her face, and then said, "Although you can't have a wagered fight with the teachers, you can ask them for a sparring assessment. That is also a way to improve your strength."

"I'm going to change my clothes. Let's have a match afterward."

Fang Yi looked up abruptly, his eyes filled with fighting spirit.

"Alright!"

15 minutes later.

Inside the Virtual Space.

Jiang Fang, holding two curved blades and wearing a combat suit, stood within a giant Colosseum.

Fang Yi charged in first, wielding his war halberd!

Two streams of crescent-moon light flashed rapidly, instantly parrying the incoming halberd. With a sudden burst of force, she deflected it to the side, and Jiang Fang crossed her twin blades, closing the distance with quick steps!

"Clang, clang, clang—!"

The sound of weapons clashing echoed continuously.

After a dozen rounds.

Fang Yi's body dissipated, gradually vanishing from the Virtual Space, while Jiang Fang, her brows tightly furrowed, also exited the space.

Fang Yi had lost, but he lost with great excitement.

He had gained a lot from this exchange.

"So that's how it is. I kept saying that although I was very proficient in using the war halberd, I was always a bit dissatisfied. So this was the problem..."

On the other side, Jiang Fang, having taken off her helmet, had a complex look in her eyes.

Because during the fight, Jiang Fang had felt the pressure the other party exerted.

"Fang Yi's progress is even faster... and more astonishing than I expected."

It won't be long now.

He might not even be a match for him in terms of weaponry anymore.

January 1st.

Fang Yi remained ranked first for the previous month.

Having been in the Training Camp for nearly three months, he had already secured the top spot twice.

Yet, no one harbored the slightest suspicion regarding these results anymore.

At the same time.

The Training Camp allowed students to return home for visits and rest during January and February. Many students had already left the camp, with only a portion of those dedicated to relentless training remaining inside.

Fang Yi was an orphan by origin and had no family, so he naturally stayed in the camp to continue his improvement.

He trained until February 3rd.

Under the analysis of his Heavy Pupil, Fang Yi had an epiphany and threw a punch with a terrifying force output of 6.5 times!

So that's how it is. I almost forgot that the force-exertion techniques on Earth have flaws compared to those in the universe.

After all, these techniques were explored step-by-step by Earthlings; they simply lack the broad horizons and knowledge of the universe to help them grow.

Fang Yi controlled the Genetic Origin Energy within his cells, gradually reaching a resonance amplitude under the analysis of his Heavy Pupil.

Waves of power stacked upon one another, flowing more smoothly and easily than before.

This punch struck the bullseye of the testing machine with precision, the sound of the vibration lingering for several seconds before fading away.

The display above the instrument showed the latest data: "1937985kg!"

The moment this shocking number appeared, an expression of excitement surfaced on Fang Yi's face.

"With this, I've directly surpassed the requirements for the next stage of the treaty."

Fang Yi let out a long breath, then immediately reported his latest combat power amplitude.

One hour later.

The rewards were delivered directly by specialized personnel, so Fang Yi did not need to go and receive them himself.

Furthermore, the escort team consisted primarily of War God level existences, as the rewards this time were far from simple.

"Hello, your rewards have arrived." A staff member immediately handed over the box in his hands.

"Thank you for the trouble." Fang Yi quickly took it and verified his personal information.

"It's just part of the job."

After the staff member finished speaking, he smiled and quickly left with the other escort personnel.

Fang Yi also hurried back to his underground secret chamber.

The box was significantly larger than the previous reward boxes.

The interior was still divided into two layers; the first layer contained SS-grade combat uniforms and weapons, while the second layer held several wooden boxes and a plastic-wrapped case.

Inside the wooden boxes were three secret manuals and two portions of Dragon Blood.

The Black God Set was packed inside the plastic case.

He put away the Dragon Blood, then opened the plastic case to find a small black ring resting inside.

"With the Black God Set on Earth, my defense is basically complete."

After glancing at the manual, Fang Yi took out the black ring and put it on his finger.

Ten-odd seconds passed.

A sudden stinging sensation flared up, and the black ring immediately began to vibrate, gradually merging with his skin until it finally became a part of it.

15 minutes later.

Seeing that it no longer reacted, Fang Yi clenched his fists tightly.

Pools of black flowing light immediately began to spread from the original position of the ring, covering his left arm, chest, right arm, face, abdomen, groin, and legs.

The black flowing light moved at his will.

After covering his entire body, it instantly transformed into the casual clothes Fang Yi often wore.

"It really is useful."

Immediately, the Black God Set transformed into the appearance of battle armor once more, with the head area largely covered except for his eyes, where the Heavy Pupil gradually flowed with a mysterious dark liquid.

Divine light emanated from within, gradually attaching to the surface of the Black God Set to form the Creation Divine Light Armor.

The powers of two different worlds combined.

At this moment, they created a brand-new set of battle armor.

The lines of the Divine Armor radiated light, and against the backdrop of the Black God's deep black hue, it gained an indescribable sense of majesty.

"With the Black God Set, paired with the Creation Divine Light Armor that can cover 60% of my body, even if a King-level monster comes, it won't be able to hurt me."

Fang Yi now had the Creation Divine Light.

It could already cover 60% of his body, even if he diverted 20% to infuse into his Flying Needle weapon.

The remaining 40% of the divine light could still protect vital areas such as his eyes, head, and heart.

A few seconds later, the divine light dissipated, and the Black God merged back into his skin, condensing into a ring.

"It's time to use the Dragon Blood."

Opening the wooden box, Fang Yi took out two portions of Dragon Blood.

"My own body is already strong enough. Although the effects of taking more Dragon Blood won't be as potent as before, it should still provide a significant boost."

Fang Yi did not use them all at once, choosing instead to space them out over a period of time.

During this interval.

Fang Yi continued his cultivation and traveled to the wilderness of City 1001 to test his defenses and refine his weapon techniques.

The second time he bathed in Dragon Blood.

Fang Yi clenched his fists tightly, enduring the agony.

Perhaps because he had the experience of the first time, the pain during the second time did not seem as intense as before.

His Heavy Pupil did not crave the Dragon Blood as much as it had previously; it seemed that after one immersion, the effect of the Dragon Blood on his Heavy Pupil was no longer as strong.

Following the third time he bathed in Dragon Blood.

Fang Yi's physical fitness and strength had improved significantly once again.

March 1st.

Fang Yi received news that someone wanted to summon him.

A Blood-Red Triangular Fighter Jet descended slowly from the high altitude, with Jiang Fang and a group of other instructors standing at the perimeter, waiting in full readiness.

There were many students nearby, all of them incredibly nervous; they had also just received notice that the Limit Dojo Master, Hong, would be arriving today!

This news was like a bomb dropped into water.

It instantly shattered the calm surface of the water.

"Whoosh!"

The cabin door opened.

Two powerhouses who had surpassed the War God level walked out, stepping directly through the air.

Many students nearby were startled by this sight.

However, these two were merely Inspectors. Behind them was a young man about 1.9 meters tall, wearing a black jacket with a sharp crew cut, who stepped out at that moment.

The heads of all the students roared.

The surrounding world instantly turned pitch black, and Fang Yi felt something as he observed the changes around him.

Hong's current realm has already reached the Planetary Level, and with his mastery of intent and consciousness cultivated to such a high degree, even a simple glance is more than many can bear.

Fang Yi could naturally feel this pressure.

But it did not have much of an effect on him.

"Not bad, truly a genius among geniuses."

Hong's cold voice rang out.

The two Inspectors following on his left and right turned their gazes toward Fang Yi in the crowd of students.

At first, those students thought Hong was praising them, and a sense of joy surged in their hearts.

But as they followed his gaze, they realized that the person Hong was actually praising was Fang Yi.

In an instant.

Hong took a single step, arriving before Fang Yi as if he had teleported.

"Not bad, this trip to see you was worth it."

As soon as these words were spoken.

Many students nearby were in an uproar again, and even some of the instructors looked on in disbelief.

Hong had come here specifically to see Fang Yi?

"It is not just Fang Yi; I hope that everyone here at the Elite Training Camp will one day become beings who have surpassed the War God level. Being a War God is merely the starting point. Surpassing the War God level and pursuing higher realms is your eternal, unquenchable goal."

As soon as these words were spoken.

Many students nearby shouted with excitement.

"Yes!"

Hong looked at the students and nodded with satisfaction, then said, "Fang Yi, come with me."
