Elite Training Camp.

Jiang Fang wore a complicated expression as she looked at the report in her hands.

The report listed all the monster materials Fang Yi had hunted, collected, and turned in over the past week or so.

More than a dozen Lord-level Monsters.

Over a hundred high-level War General monsters.

Several thousand mid-level War General monsters, and countless others...

The whole report could be summed up in one sentence: Fang Yi had gone on a killing spree in Australia Continent, making no effort to hide his strength and showing off his true abilities.

The combined value of the materials had already reached several hundred billion Huaxia Currency.

"That kid Fang Yi's strength is probably close to that of an Advanced War God..." Jiang Fang looked at the report and smiled helplessly.

"Teacher Jiang, what's got you smiling so happily?"

Zhao Ruo had brought Luo Feng to the Blade Technique Training Camp. They happened to run into Jiang Fang just as she was about to leave.

"Nothing much. That kid Fang Yi has made a name for himself. Once this report gets out, Huaxia will have a new War God."

The two of them were both quite surprised by Jiang Fang's words.

Zhao Ruo asked in disbelief, her voice trembling, "Fang Yi became a War God? So soon..."

He had only joined the Elite Training Camp three or four months ago. But when they thought about it, given his strength, it made sense that he was already a War God.

Perhaps he had already crossed the threshold before he left.

Otherwise, there was no way he could have taken first place so easily.

After all, everyone in the top ten of the rankings had already crossed the threshold to becoming a War God, or was about to.

"Fang Yi hunted more than a dozen Lord Monsters in Australia Continent. His strength is at least that of an Intermediate War God. At this rate, it wouldn't be surprising if he became a Beyond War God, or even the third strongest person after Thunder God and Hong."

"You two should learn from Fang Yi, too. Setting aside his talent, he really is a freak when it comes to training. He's already made it to the fifth level of the Trial Tower, and his combat experience, techniques, and Force Output are all far ahead of everyone else."

Jiang Fang nodded seriously.

Luo Feng, meanwhile, felt even more determined to keep training. He had already thought he was working hard enough, but after hearing what others thought of Fang Yi and learning about his training methods,

Luo Feng realized that even his own grueling training wasn't enough.

The two of them said goodbye to Jiang Fang, then continued their vigorous practice with the blade.

The stars shifted, and time flew by.

April 20.

Fang Yi had been out adventuring for a full month.

He had fought his way from the outskirts of Australia Continent all the way to its center.

He had obtained countless monster materials along the way. To him, Huaxia Currency had become nothing more than a number.

The amount he had earned in a month was already more than some War Gods made in several years, or even over a decade.

Central Australia Continent.

Around a small lake.

An Advanced Lord-level Aurora Lightning Python, a Spiked Giant Badger, a Tyrant Crocodile Dragon, and a Devouring Giant Moth had gathered there.

Along with them were four other Advanced Lord-level monsters: Ghost-Faced Spiders.

Lord Monsters rarely gathered together, let alone monsters of different species.

"SSSSS—"

The Aurora Lightning Python told the others that over the past month, a vicious human had appeared in the outer regions and been relentlessly hunting monsters.

The Tyrant Crocodile Dragon confirmed that the Aurora Lightning Python was telling the truth. It knew about the matter, since quite a few of its kind had died at the hands of that detestable human.

It had only managed to escape by sheer luck. If one of its Lord-level companions hadn't held the human off for it,

it would never have escaped his clutches.

"ROAR—"

The Spiked Giant Badger had called the other monsters together to demand that they bring in the other Lord Monsters and their packs to ambush and kill this terrifying human.

After all, the human had already made his way from the outer regions to the center.

It wouldn't be long before he reached their territory.

"CHITTER CHITTER—"

The four Ghost-Faced Spiders asked whether any of them knew the human's exact route and location.

That way, they could lay a web trap to ensnare the human War God.

"HUMPH HUMPH—"

Just then, the Tyrant Pig Dragon said it knew where the human was.

It even knew his exact route.

The Ghost-Faced Spiders nodded in satisfaction and told the Tyrant Crocodile Dragon to give them the location so they could set their trap at once.

All the monsters turned their eyes toward the Tyrant Crocodile Dragon.

But they saw it lower its head and look at the lake where they had gathered...

With a sudden splash, the surface of the lake exploded!

A purple figure shot out in a flash.

As the spray settled, they saw a human hovering above the monsters, standing on a Flying Sword—

"Were you talking about me?"

The moment he finished speaking,

more than a dozen Divine Light Flying Needles shot out, trailing sonic booms as they hurtled toward their targets!

"SSSSS—!!"

The Aurora Lightning Python's pupils contracted in shock.

As it and the other monsters dodged the flying needles, they glared angrily at the Tyrant Crocodile Dragon, as if demanding to know why it hadn't told them that the human was in the lake.

But then they saw

the Tyrant Crocodile Dragon with a Ghost-Faced Spider in its jaws, death-rolling as it tore the spider apart.

The Lord Monsters weren't stupid. They could tell that the Tyrant Crocodile Dragon had switched sides.

They just couldn't understand why it had thrown in its lot with a human.

What had the human offered it? They weren't even the same species, so why would it serve him so willingly?

But the flying needles moved so quickly that even the Lord Monsters struggled to evade them. They pierced all four of their limbs. If the monsters hadn't fought desperately and dodged, the needles would have gone through their heads and hearts already.

Wielding his War Halberd, Fang Yi streaked back and forth like a purple meteor.

With his flying needles and Flying Sword supporting him, he easily slaughtered every one of the monsters that struck fear into the hearts of even many High-level War Gods.

Blood rained across the small lake, falling in an instant.

One monster carcass after another dropped into the lake, sending out countless ripples as half the water gradually turned red.

Nearby,

even the low-level monsters that had hidden themselves away

failed to escape Fang Yi's grasp. One after another, they met their end.

He controlled the flying needles to carve up the monsters and collect their materials, then reported the results at the same time.

When the Training Camp's team inspected the materials, they found that the cells in the monsters' remains had all died at the same time.

Clearly, Fang Yi had taken down seven Lord Monsters in a single round, and all of them were Advanced Lords.

The team sent to meet him, along with the personnel collecting the materials, immediately reported what had happened.

After hearing the news, Hall Master Hong only smiled faintly.

Australia Continent was vast,

but dozens of Lord-level monsters and countless monsters below Lord Rank had died in a short time. Naturally, the matter caught the attention of other King Rank monsters, as well as the various human government alliances.

But when they learned what had happened, the Limit Dojo had already issued a notice to the public.

"Humanity has another War God, and this one killed seven Lord-level monsters all by himself!"

"What! He killed seven Lord-level monsters alone? Are you kidding me?"

"If you don't believe me, look for yourself. The Limit Dojo posted the announcement."

"Whoa, it's true!"

"What's this War God called?"

"I think... Fang Yi?"

"Fang Yi? Did I hear that right? Is he the genius from the Limit Dojo half a year ago? How could he have become a War God in such a short time!"
