"Why are you shouting so loud?"
"What happened?"
"What's going on?"
Several acquaintances in the hall asked him one after another.
"Janet!" The trainee pointed toward the corridor leading to the Trial Room, shocked. "I have a friend who was just at the Black Dragon Statue checking the rankings, and he told me Janet has already climbed to 46th place!"
For a stunning beauty like Janet, even trainees immersed in cultivation had heard whispers about her at the cafeteria from time to time.
"I remember she was only in the sixties before, right?"
"She jumped about twenty spots—that's insane!!"
"Uh, how did she even manage that?"
Faced with Janet's explosive ranking surge, many pulled out their phones or communication watches:
"Hey, go check Janet's ranking at the Black Dragon Statue for me!"
"Kid, you were at the Black Dragon Statue just now—are Janet's rankings real or fake?"
The news of Janet's skyrocketing rank gradually drew the attention of the entire training camp, but this ranking was only temporary.
As Janet's rank continued to rise, eventually reaching 23rd place, the entire Elite Training Camp was stunned!
Not only that, as one of the most closely watched places by the global upper echelons, the Elite Training Camp's new students each semester and ranking changes received focused attention worldwide.
A large crowd of Elite Training Camp trainees and Basic Training Camp trainees had already gathered at the Black Dragon Statue at the camp's entrance, staring fixedly at Janet's ranking in disbelief.
"This is blowing up!"
"Janet—was she really only ranked in the sixties before? Was she hiding her strength?"
"Coming back from a life-or-death adventure and jumping over forty spots—that's a bit much..."
"Unbelievable!!"
The entire Elite Training Camp was in an uproar!
"How is that possible, 23rd place!!"
In the Trial Room on the ninth floor of the Ninefold Tower, Candice's deep eyes were filled with utter disbelief!
Beside him, William's eyes were wide, his hands trembling slightly, and he didn't even hear the voice from ahead calling them into the Trial Room.
"It's Luo Feng's teacher. God, I never thought Luo Feng's teacher actually had this kind of miraculous ability!" William exclaimed, clutching his head.
Candice took a deep breath, his mind churning. No wonder Luo Feng was such a freak—he thought it was just his extraordinary talent, but it turned out his teacher played such a huge role.
"How is this possible? How is this possible..." Candice muttered to himself.
If it were about physical fitness, that might be plausible—Dragon Blood, Spirit of Plants, and the like could rapidly boost a martial artist's physique in a short time!
But in the Trial Room, everyone's physical condition was locked at the Junior War General level, with no difference at all! What mattered was individual force application, blade techniques, movement, combat experience, and so on.
These weren't things someone else could improve in a short time. If your talent wasn't enough, your comprehension was lacking, then it just wasn't possible. Long-term effort and accumulation might let you climb a few spots in the rankings, but not jump forty spots in half a month.
Every trainee who made it into the Elite Training Camp was a genius among geniuses, selected from billions of people worldwide. True geniuses, the prodigies, had already shown themselves in their first month at camp.
Janet's situation grew bigger and bigger!
The training camp, the Limit Martial Arts Hall, and major global powers were all stunned by Janet, and then launched frantic investigations into her!
They discovered that the only difference from before was that after Janet visited Zhou Ze in Bright Moon District and returned to the Elite Training Camp, this happened—and they were utterly shocked.
They couldn't believe it, refused to believe that anyone could achieve such a feat—it completely shattered their worldview.
This kind of teaching ability, turning the mediocre into the miraculous, was enough to captivate everyone. It was a miraculous power capable of creating genius martial artists!
"Who the hell! Why is this person from China again? Get me the president on the line—I need to speak with him immediately."
"Zhou Ze? Janet's improvement is related to Zhou Ze? Isn't he the teacher Luo Feng had before joining the Elite Training Camp?"
"Get me Chief Jia Yi on the line. We must secure this talent—he's Chinese, we have an inherent advantage!" ordered a middle-aged Chinese man.
Thunderbolt Martial Arts Hall Headquarters.
"Dammit, why is it always someone from the Limit Martial Arts Hall? No, we failed to snatch Luo Feng, but we must get Luo Feng's teacher, or the Thunderbolt Martial Arts Hall will never turn things around!"
"No, this time it's even more serious than the Luo Feng issue. We need the Hall Master to step in personally."
The middle-aged War God Level expert's expression was grim.
Within these few short hours, military organizations, special administrative bodies, family conglomerates, and even the two major martial arts halls from various great nations all sprang into action.
At that time, Luo Feng had just joined the Elite Training Camp and ranked in the top ten within his first month, stirring up a frenzy among all the major powers. But no one ever connected this to his teacher; they simply tried to win Luo Feng over.
Of course, some factions also considered courting Zhou Ze, hoping he could persuade Luo Feng to join them. Yet no one placed much value on Zhou Ze himself, believing it was entirely due to Luo Feng's innate talent and had little to do with Zhou Ze.
But now, everything was completely different!
Luo Feng could still fall back on his own exceptional talent as an excuse, but when it came to Janet, that stunningly beautiful female student, everyone knew exactly what her talent and potential were.
Being able to join the Elite Training Camp and rank around sixtieth meant she naturally had some talent, but two or three years of stagnation also showed that her potential had reached its limit.
After spending just half a month under Zhou Ze's guidance, she returned and immediately broke into the top thirty. If anyone still didn't understand what that meant, their brain circuits must have shorted out.
If they could secure Zhou Ze, what did that represent?
The ability to mass-produce genius martial artists, to turn geniuses into monsters!
Not only that, but he could also dramatically boost the combat power of Warrior Level and War God Level fighters. Even Council Members, if they received Zhou Ze's guidance, might improve their force output, blade techniques, movement arts, and so on.
After all, if even Janet—a student ranked in the sixties at the Elite Training Camp—could achieve such a massive leap, what more could be said for others?
In truth, by now, many who learned of this intelligence found it hard to believe. They thought it was a deliberate attempt to deify him—how could a mere Warrior Level martial artist cause such a qualitative transformation in a student like Janet, whose talent was already considered fixed?
But the ironclad intelligence and information lay right before their eyes, leaving them no choice but to believe.
Limit Martial Arts Hall headquarters spaceship.
Thunder God had arrived a few days earlier, seeking Hong's guidance on insights into the domain. The two had been practically inseparable.
"Brother Hong, did you receive the news about Janet and Luo Feng's teacher, Zhou Ze?"
The bald, gleaming Thunder God slid the door open as he entered. He had just stepped out to take an urgent phone call.
"Mm." Hong's usually indifferent face showed a trace of surprise.
"Let's watch Janet's past and current battle footage together."
Thunder God quickly sat down, slung an arm around Hong's shoulder, and looked forward with a cheerful grin. "If this is real... then it's too incredible..."
"Even I find it hard to believe right now..."
"Play Janet's combat scenes from the Trial Room." Hong commanded.
"Understood, master." With an electronic chime, a three-dimensional image materialized before Hong and Thunder God.
