The 24th.

Fang Yi sat within the secret chamber.

After putting on the consciousness-sensing helmet in his hand, he controlled the Black God Set to spread out and protect his body.

When wearing the helmet to enter the War God Palace, one must be in a safe environment to avoid any accidents while transitioning into the virtual space.

Upon entering.

He saw a flash of light suddenly streak before his eyes.

Opening his eyes again, Fang Yi found himself standing in a spacious and luxurious room.

"Welcome, War God Fang Yi."

Fang Yi ignored the sudden electronic voice and instead took a moment to observe the space he was in.

The layout was orderly and complete, and outside the massive floor-to-ceiling window on one side, the fantastical scenery made one sigh in involuntary wonder; although this world was a simulation, it was no different from reality.

"It truly lives up to being a one-hundred-percent simulation."

Walking toward a desk on the side, he saw the War God Palace Regulations placed on top. After reading through them briefly.

Fang Yi was just about to leave the room to explore when he heard the electronic voice prompt again: "War God Fang Yi, Speaker Hong is waiting for you outside the door."

"Coming."

Hearing the prompt.

Fang Yi walked toward the door and immediately saw Hong standing in the hallway, waiting for him.

"Come, I'll take you for a tour."

Hong immediately led Fang Yi toward the Central Hall of the War God Palace.

The Central Hall was extremely vast, and many War Gods were sitting on several sofas in the center, chatting and catching up with one another.

As Hong and Fang Yi appeared, the display screens above the hall walls changed immediately.

Seeing this scene, Fang Yi frowned slightly, guessing what was about to happen.

The "3515" in the center of the screen changed instantly.

As the surrounding lights dimmed, a single beam of light fell entirely upon Fang Yi and Hong.

This scene.

Instantly drew the attention of everyone present, all of whom looked up. When they saw Hong, their pupils constricted in shock.

Then, the person everyone became more interested in, and began to discuss, was Fang Yi, who stood to the side.

"I will introduce him personally. The person beside me is our humanity's 3516th War God, and he is an Invincible War GodFang Yi!"

As soon as the words fell.

Three-dimensional golden characters were projected above the hall.

Name: Fang Yi

Nationality: Huaxia Nation

Rank: War God (Advanced)

"An Invincible War God?!"

"This guy, to actually be rated as an Invincible War God by Hong, my God, this is unbelievable."

"To be introduced by Hong personally, it seems this new War God is quite extraordinary."

"What? You don't know Fang Yi?"

"Fang Yi? Is he very famous?"

"He is extremely famous, especially after his experience since becoming a martial artist was exposed; the entire martial artist circle has been discussing it widely."

"An 18-year-old War God. During his first quasi-martial artist assessment, he punched with a force of 2000. Just after becoming a martial artist, he had already reached the intermediate War General rank, and not long after entering the Elite Training Camp, he spent two months hunting monsters on the Australia Continent!"

"That's absurd!?"

"That's not even the half of it. You don't know, but according to expert calculations, he has killed at least dozens of Lord Rank monsters, and even one King Rank monster. With his current strength, it might not be long before he surpasses the War God level."

"The Huaxia Nation has produced a genius."

As the introduction concluded.

The surrounding lights returned to normal. Seeing many people below whispering and discussing, Hong couldn't help but pat Fang Yi on the shoulder.

"Look around and enjoy yourself. The path of martial arts is long, and one should relax appropriately."

"Actually, I feel like I'm already quite relaxed."

Fang Yi replied.

After all, out of his 24 hours a day, excluding sleep, he only spent 14 hours training.

He left a full 2 hours for eating, drinking, and relaxing.

"You call that relaxing?"

Hong had also looked into the general details of Fang Yi's training, so he felt quite helpless after hearing him say that.

The two walked toward the Central Hall.

Turning the corner, they saw the teachers of the Elite Training Camp approaching quickly. Walking in the lead was naturally Yang Hui, followed by other teachers from Huaxia and abroad.

"Dojo Master."

"Mm, you all chat. I'm going to handle some other matters first."

"Understood."

Hong gently patted Fang Yi on the shoulder before heading toward another part of the War God Palace, leaving the remaining teachers to crowd around him.

"Fang Yi, starting from today, your name will be known to everyone, far and wide," Yang Hui said with a smile.

"To be personally introduced by the Dojo Master and to receive the Invincible Title, you are highly valued, Fang Yi. In the future, if the teachers have any difficult problems they can't solve, we might have to ask for your help," another blonde foreign teacher, Viter, remarked.

Fang Yi just gave a light smile; if they were asking him to kill monsters, that would be simple enough.

But if it involved personal disputes, Fang Yi naturally wouldn't pay them much mind.

As they were chatting, a lithe figure quickly stepped forward.

"I haven't even asked for his help as a teacher, yet you all are already lining up," Jiang Fang said, walking over with her arms crossed over her chest.

"Teacher." Fang Yi nodded slightly toward Jiang Fang.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Fang smiled with a hint of melancholy: "You don't need to call me teacher anymore. After all, you are now a teacher in the training camp as well, and if we were to spar again, I'm afraid I would no longer be your match."

After two months of tempering.

Jiang Fang knew that Fang Yi's weapon techniques were definitely no longer inferior to her own.

"Let's go, let's sit to the side and talk."

The group moved to a different spot, and several teachers were very curious about Fang Yi's experiences on the Australia Continent over those two months.

They chatted about this topic for a long time.

"Click."

Fang Yi let out a long breath and pressed the switch to remove his helmet.

Entering the War God Palace to go through the motions and announce his title had fulfilled his purpose.

"The course dates are over; it's time to head back to the Australia Continent to continue honing my skills and training."

Fang Yi had only opened up a few days for teaching.

Therefore.

After teaching those five students, he had plenty of time left for himself. Fang Yi tidied up briefly and headed toward his exclusive transport fighter jet.

A month passed.

Fang Yi fought incessantly on the Australia Continent. Some passing War God-level fighters felt their hearts palpitate just looking at the monster corpses covering the ground.

"This War God Fang Yi is truly terrifying; every strike he makes is a fatal blow."

"How does he find the monsters that are hiding? It's as if no monster can escape his sight."

"I'm not sure, but the more monsters he kills, the better it is for us humans."

"I wouldn't dare do what he does, charging recklessly into a horde of monsters alone. It's just too crazy."

"Heh, if you could also be called an Invincible War God by the current number one powerhouse, Hong, you could act like him too."

May 3rd.

Fang Yi returned from the Australia Continent and opened up another three days of teaching.

Perhaps because Fang Yi's instruction a month ago had been truly effective, the five students who received his guidance saw their strength grow visibly.

Their original rankings had been around 70 to 80, but now they could steadily step into the top 60.

When other students heard this, they all came to learn as well.

Even though they didn't practice the War Halberd or sword techniques, they still came to have Fang Yi point things out for them and to learn some combat awareness.

In an instant.

The number grew from the original five to twelve. Fang Yi felt a bit troubled when he learned of this situation.

The main thing was that there were too many people; giving each one pointers was quite time-consuming.

The 4th.

9:00 AM sharp.

Twelve students stood in formation in the training room. After Fang Yi quickly checked the list to confirm everyone was present, he began by instructing the students who used the War Halberd and longsword.

Afterward, it was the turn of the students who used other weapons.

Relying on the analysis of his Heavy Eyes, Fang Yi could clearly see the issues these people had with their weapons and footwork.

Combined with his personal teaching methods.

These people only needed to follow the key points instructed by Fang Yi and attempt them once before immediately experiencing an epiphany, their faces filled with excitement.

Problems that had confused them or were difficult to perceive finally became clear!

After finishing with these students, Fang Yi began his own cultivation.

When the teaching day ended, Fang Yi headed to the Australia Continent again, and shortly after, he hunted down another King Rank monster; this news spread rapidly.

The combat footage was also collected into the Elite Training Camp.

Once the editing and compilation were complete, it would be available for students to study.

During this period.

Luo Feng even came to seek out Fang Yi for some combat techniques against monsters, and the two had a brief conversation.

Luo Feng felt as if his mind had suddenly opened up!

After hurriedly expressing his gratitude, he immediately returned to his Blade Technique Training Room to practice.

The interaction between the two was more like that of friends.

It was slightly different from the other students.

Fang Yi did not want to interfere too much with Luo Feng's growth, but helping out a little here and there was acceptable.

After finishing with these students.

Fang Yi had major matters of his own to handle.

July 26th.

Central Australia Continent, a certain cave.

As several months passed, the progress of Fang Yi's eyes was stuck at the breakthrough stage, and the semi-transparent, semi-dark gold cube within his Sea of Consciousness Space had also undergone new changes.

Fang Yi suddenly had a premonition that he was about to break through.

He immediately found a secluded area with no monsters within a radius of several dozen kilometers and began his cultivation.

A day passed.

While Fang Yi was cultivating cross-legged, the cube inside his Sea of Consciousness Space had already turned completely transparent, drawing in the surrounding mist and liquid resembling rainwater to gather and rotate.

A streak of black-purple energy swirled around the perimeter.

It was gradually being drawn into the interior of the cube.

As the rotation became faster and faster, the entire Sea of Consciousness Space seemed to transform into a galactic vortex!

The vortex was rapidly condensing.

It seemed to be turning into a circular, transparent sphere of light.

Subsequently, pairs of Heavy Pupil appeared throughout the Sea of Consciousness Space, constantly twitching and peering into the sea, then these Heavy Pupil all stared at the transparent light sphere in the center simultaneously.

The light sphere condensed to a certain point before bursting apart, turning back into the previous vortex, and then contracting in a bizarre fashion.

It was like a living heart.

It expanded and contracted in a repeating cycle.

This continued until it reached a critical point.

The entire light sphere underwent a qualitative change; under the gaze of countless eyes, the light sphere finally emitted a large amount of mist, and when the mist dissipated.

The volume of the light sphere.

Was hundreds of times larger than before!

The surrounding mist was absorbed into it once more, then violently vibrated, echoing throughout the entire Sea of Consciousness Space.

As this ripple dispersed and returned, it finally merged back into the transparent light sphere, and then the entire Sea of Consciousness returned to calm, with only that planet in the center floating quietly.

The surrounding Heavy Pupil saw this scene and then slowly dissipated and left.

Only the two largest ones remained, staring directly at the surface of the planet.

Around the planet.

A wisp of purple mist circled, adding a touch of extraordinary flavor to it.

As the light sphere rotated on its own, a portion of the invisible power it emitted was absorbed by those Heavy Pupil, while the other portion spread throughout Fang Yi's body.

Fang Yi slowly opened his eyes.

A sense of pressure revealed itself within his Heavy Pupil, permeating the surroundings.

"Success!"

"Officially stepped into the Planetary Level!"
