The 24th.
Fang Yi sat in the secret room.
After putting on the consciousness-sensing helmet, he spread the Black God Set around himself to protect his body.
He needed to be in a safe environment when entering the War God Palace with the helmet, to avoid any accidents while he was inside.
The moment he entered,
a flash of light suddenly appeared before his eyes.
When he opened his eyes again, Fang Yi found himself standing in a spacious, luxurious room.
"Welcome, War God Fang Yi."
Fang Yi ignored the electronic voice and took a quick look around the space he was in.
Everything was laid out in an orderly, well-appointed fashion. Beyond the enormous floor-to-ceiling window on one side lay a fantastical view that inspired involuntary admiration. Though this world was simulated, it was indistinguishable from reality.
"As expected of a hundred-percent simulation."
He walked to the desk, where a copy of the War God Palace Regulations lay. After giving it a quick read,
Fang Yi was about to leave the room and explore when the electronic voice spoke again. "War God Fang Yi, Chairman Hong is waiting for you outside."
"Coming."
After hearing the announcement,
Fang Yi headed for the door and saw Hong waiting in the corridor.
"Come on. I'll show you around."
Hong immediately led Fang Yi to the Central Hall of the War God Palace.
The Central Hall was enormous. Many War Gods sat on the sofas in the middle, chatting and catching up.
As Hong and Fang Yi entered, the display screen high on the hall wall changed at once.
Fang Yi frowned at the sight, guessing what was about to happen.
The "3515" in the center of the screen immediately changed.
The surrounding lights suddenly dimmed, and a single spotlight fell on Fang Yi and Hong.
The sight instantly drew everyone's attention. They all looked up, and when they saw Hong, their pupils contracted in shock.
Then the person they grew more interested in, and began discussing among themselves, was Fang Yi, standing beside him.
"Allow me to introduce him personally. The man beside me is our 3,516th War God—and an Invincible War God, Fang Yi!"
As soon as he finished speaking,
three-dimensional golden characters appeared above the hall.
Name: Fang Yi
Nationality: Huaxia Nation
Level: War God (High)
"An Invincible War God?!"
"That guy was actually called an Invincible War God by Hong? My God, that's unbelievable!"
"Hong introduced him himself. Looks like this new War God is something special."
"What? You don't know Fang Yi?"
"Fang Yi? Is he famous?"
"Very. Especially after his rise to become a Martial Artist was made public—the whole Martial Artist community has been talking about him."
"At eighteen, he became a War God. He scored a punch force of 2,000 in his first Quasi-Warrior Assessment. He'd only just become a Martial Artist and was already at mid-level War General Level. Not long after joining the Elite Training Camp, he spent two months killing monsters on the Australia Continent!"
"That's insane!"
"And that's not all. According to calculations by experts, he killed at least dozens of Lord-level Monsters, along with a King Rank Monster. With his current strength, it might not be long before he reaches Beyond War God."
"Huaxia Nation has produced a genius."
After the introduction,
the lights returned to normal. Hong looked at the many people below, chatting among themselves, and patted Fang Yi on the shoulder.
"Enjoy yourself and have a good time. The path of martial arts is long, so you should relax every now and then."
"Actually, I think I'm already pretty relaxed."
Fang Yi replied.
After all, he had twenty-four hours in a day. Setting aside the time he slept, he only trained for fourteen hours a day.
That left him a full two hours to eat, drink, and unwind.
"You call that relaxing?"
Hong knew roughly how much Fang Yi trained, so he could only sigh helplessly at his answer.
The two headed through the Central Hall.
As they turned a corner, the instructors from the Elite Training Camp hurried over. Yang Hui led them, with several other Huaxia and foreign instructors behind him.
"Dojo Master."
"Mm. Talk among yourselves. I have other things to take care of."
"Sure."
Hong patted Fang Yi on the shoulder, then headed off to another part of the War God Palace. The remaining instructors immediately crowded around him.
"Fang Yi, from today onward, everyone will know your name," Yang Hui said with a smile.
"To have the Dojo Master introduce you personally and award you the Invincible Title, you must be highly valued, Fang Yi. From now on, if the instructors run into problems they can't solve, they might have to ask you for help," said another instructor, the blond Viter.
Fang Yi only smiled. If they asked him to kill monsters, that would be easy.
But if it involved personal disputes, he naturally wouldn't get involved.
While they were talking, a graceful figure hurried over.
"I'm a teacher, and I haven't even asked him for help. How come you're already asking?" Jiang Fang said, arms folded across her chest.
"Teacher." Fang Yi gave Jiang Fang a small nod.
Jiang Fang smiled ruefully. "You don't need to call me that anymore. You're an instructor at the camp now, too. Besides, if we fought again, I'm afraid I wouldn't be your match."
After two months of training,
Jiang Fang knew that Fang Yi's weapon skills were definitely on par with her own.
"Come on, let's sit somewhere else and talk."
They moved to another spot. Several instructors were curious about Fang Yi's experiences during his two months on the Australia Continent.
They talked about it for quite a while.
"Phew."
Fang Yi let out a long breath and pressed the switch to take off his helmet.
He'd gone through the motions of entering the War God Palace and announcing his title. His goal was accomplished.
"My teaching days are over. It's time to head back to the Australia Continent and keep honing my skills."
Fang Yi had only opened up a few days for teaching.
So,
after teaching those five students, he had plenty of time to himself. He quickly packed up and headed to his personal transport plane.
A month passed.
Fang Yi continued fighting on the Australia Continent. War God-level Martial Artists who passed by felt a chill just looking at the monster corpses strewn across the ground.
"That War God Fang Yi is terrifying. Every strike is a killing blow."
"How does he find monsters hiding away? It's as if none of them can escape his notice."
"I don't know, but the more monsters he kills, the better for humanity."
"I wouldn't dare charge into a pack of monsters alone like he does. It's too crazy."
"Heh, if the strongest man alive, Hong, called you an Invincible War God, you could do the same."
May 3rd.
Fang Yi returned from the Australia Continent and opened up three more days for teaching.
His teaching had clearly helped the five students a month ago. Their strength had visibly improved.
They'd originally ranked somewhere between 70th and 80th, but now they could firmly break into the top sixty.
After hearing about it, other students came to learn from him as well.
Though they didn't practice the War Halberd or swordsmanship, they still came to ask Fang Yi for pointers and learn about combat awareness.
In no time,
the group grew from five to twelve. Fang Yi was a little troubled when he found out.
There were simply too many people. Giving every one of them pointers would take ages.
The 4th.
At nine in the morning,
the twelve students stood in the training room. Fang Yi quickly checked them against the list, then started with those who used War Halberds and long swords.
Afterward, he moved on to the students who used other weapons.
With Heavy Eyes to analyze their movements, Fang Yi could clearly spot problems with their weapons and footwork.
He tailored his instruction to each person.
The students only had to follow his pointers and try things out. They immediately had breakthroughs, their faces filled with excitement.
At last, they could see the problems that had puzzled them or gone unnoticed!
After finishing with the students, Fang Yi began his own training.
When the teaching days ended, Fang Yi went back to the Australia Continent. Before long, he killed another King Rank Monster, and the news quickly spread.
Footage of the battle was also added to the Elite Training Camp's collection.
Once the clips had been edited and finalized, the students would be able to study them.
During that time,
Luo Feng even came to Fang Yi to ask for tips on fighting monsters. The two only spoke briefly.
Luo Feng felt as if a whole new world had opened up to him!
After thanking Fang Yi in a rush, he immediately returned to his Blade Technique Training Room to practice.
The two interacted more like friends
than Fang Yi did with the other students.
Fang Yi didn't want to interfere too much with Luo Feng's growth, but he could still lend him a little help.
After finishing up with the students,
Fang Yi had something important to take care of himself.
July 26th.
Somewhere in a cave in central Australia.
Several months had passed. The progress of both Fang Yi's eyes had stalled at the breakthrough stage, and the half-transparent, half-dark-gold block in his Sea of Consciousness had also begun to change.
Fang Yi suddenly sensed that he was about to break through.
He immediately found a secluded spot with no monsters within a radius of several dozen kilometers and began to cultivate.
A day passed.
As Fang Yi sat cross-legged in meditation, the block inside his Sea of Consciousness had already turned completely transparent. It drew in the surrounding mist and a liquid like raindrops, making them gather and swirl.
A dark violet aura curled around it.
It gradually drew toward the block's interior.
As the spinning grew faster and faster, his entire Sea of Consciousness seemed to become a starry vortex!
The vortex rapidly condensed,
seemingly forming a round, transparent orb.
Then pairs of Heavy Eyes appeared throughout the Sea of Consciousness. They twitched as they peered into it. All at once, they turned to examine the transparent orb at its center.
Once the orb had condensed to a certain point, it exploded, turning back into the vortex from before, then contracted in an eerie fashion.
Like a living heart,
it expanded and contracted in an endless cycle.
Until it reached its limit.
The orb underwent a transformation. Under the gaze of countless Heavy Eyes, it finally began to release vast clouds of mist. When the mist cleared,
the orb's volume
was hundreds of times larger than before!
The surrounding mist was drawn into it, then it suddenly shook, sending ripples throughout the Sea of Consciousness.
The ripples continued to spread, then flowed back and merged once more with the transparent orb. The entire Sea of Consciousness settled into calm, leaving only a single planet floating quietly at its center.
At the sight, the Heavy Eyes around it slowly vanished.
Only the two largest remained, fixed on the planet's surface.
A little violet mist swirled around the planet,
adding an extraordinary aura.
As the orb rotated on its own, some of the invisible power it released was absorbed by the Heavy Pupil, while the rest spread throughout Fang Yi's body.
Fang Yi slowly opened his eyes.
A wave of pressure radiated from his Heavy Pupil.
"I did it!"
"I've officially reached Planetary Level!"
