Training Camp Opens

The next day, Kekechi personally delivered the 'SS-Type Bloodline Evolution Agent' to Yin Congyang, leaving behind ten Moya Crystals. He reminded Yin Congyang to absorb the Moya Crystals promptly after using the evolution agent to enhance its effects.

These ten Moya Crystals were part of the trainees' basic resources, given freely each month. If more were needed, they had to be exchanged for trainee points. This included future cultivation techniques, various basic spiritual force training methods, and force training methods—all requiring points for exchange.

Yin Congyang looked at the bloodline evolution agent in his hand, ordered the villa's AI to close the gate, found a comfortable spot to lie down, plunged the needle of the evolution agent into his arm muscle, and slowly injected the colorful liquid inside.

As the evolution agent took effect, waves of bone-deep pain surged through his body. The fluctuations in his dantian suddenly intensified at an unprecedented speed, dulling the pain somewhat. This fluctuation, combined with the agent's power, began a violent transformation and evolution of Yin Congyang's body at the genetic level.

After a full hour, the transformation was complete, and the fluctuations in his dantian gradually slowed. Yin Congyang felt his entire body light and airy, extremely comfortable.

Sitting cross-legged, he took out the Moya Crystals and began absorbing their life force. His physical constitution rapidly strengthened. Using seven Moya Crystals, he not only advanced to Planetary Level Stage 4 but also surged directly to the peak of Stage 4. After a period of consolidation, he could rise to Stage 5, with his spiritual force synchronously reaching the peak of Stage 4.

The SS-Type Bloodline Evolution Agent Yin Congyang used was developed by the Virtual Universe Company to elevate a person's bloodline to Universe Level even after adulthood. Of course, results varied by individual; some had intolerance constitutions. Thus, every century, the training camp still had a few trainees who couldn't break through to Star Level. They might eventually do so, but their potential would be exhausted, making it nearly impossible to reach Universe Level.

A few days later, Kekechi delivered the basic resources for Class A trainees: a Small Storage Ring containing a Standard Tier 2 Force Battle Suit made by the Virtual Universe Company, far superior to ordinary Tier 2 suits on the market; a Tier 3 Axe-type Force Weapon, customized based on Yin Congyang's usage habits submitted to the camp's AI system, sufficient for him up to Universe Level.

The ring also contained a Tier 3 Spiritual Force Weapon—the Xinling Disk. It was said to have been designed and manufactured by a World Lord named Xinling from the Virtual Universe Company eons ago, best suited for elites from Planetary Level to Star Level. It had been in use for eons; every session of the Elite Training Camp issued this spiritual force weapon to Spiritual Masters.

The Xinling Disk balanced attack, defense, and flight. Though not top-tier in any area, it was extremely well-rounded and had low usage requirements, making it ideal for Planetary and Star Levels. As for its usage methods, they had to be learned by exchanging points in the training camp within the virtual universe.

In the days before the camp opened, many trainees arrived one after another. Class A gathered ten people, Class B thirty, Class C sixty, and Class D about a hundred. The entire Planetary Level Elite Training Camp had only around two hundred trainees. It was said that the Star Level Elite Training Camp on the other hemisphere had ten times that number.

Consider that the entire Ganwu Universe Kingdom had trillions of people. Though most were apprentices below Planetary Level, and higher-level cultivators grew rarer, the numbers of Planetary and Star Level cultivators were still immense. The Virtual Universe Company and Giant Axe Dojo spared no effort in searching for geniuses to nurture.

In a century, they had scouted only about two hundred elite geniuses for this camp, selecting the best of the best. Without exaggeration, these could be considered top-tier geniuses among Planetary Levels. After a century of harsh training and tempering, many would rise to Star Level, with a high success rate. Basically, anyone who broke through to Star Level could later reach Universe Level.

After breaking through to Universe Level, they graduated. Those with higher talent went to the core layer; those whose potential was exhausted were assigned to various branches or chose to become cosmic warriors on the Outer-Domain Battlefield, contributing to the race.

These days, Yin Congyang wasn't confined to his villa. He often went out to mingle and chat with other camp members, becoming familiar with them. The other Class A members were at least Planetary Level Stage 7: five at Stage 9, three at Stage 8, and one at Stage 7.

On the morning of the tenth day after Yin Congyang arrived at the camp, all trainees gathered in the vast, spacious Public Training Hall. The AI system had notified everyone of the opening time, warning them not to be late. The trainees stood silently in the hall, awaiting the instructors.

Four instructors, led by a purple-haired woman, slowly walked onto the platform. The purple-haired woman swept her gaze across all the trainees, her cold voice ringing out: "From today for the next hundred years, you will spend most of your time in this training camp, receiving training from us four instructors. I have only one requirement for you: obedience! Is that clear?"

Her clear, cold voice echoed through the hall, but the trainees' responses were uneven: "Clear."

"Haven't you eaten? Pull yourselves together!" Her cold voice carried a hint of anger and powerful pressure as she shouted again, "Is that clear?"

"Clear!" This time, the response was uniform.

The purple-haired woman nodded in satisfaction. "Let me introduce you. This is Instructor Golden Lion, responsible for teaching you combat techniques. This is Instructor White Eagle, responsible for teaching you Controller techniques for Spiritual Masters. This is Instructor Green Bat, responsible for improving your neural reactions and movement techniques. I am called Purple-Robed Dragon Lady, in charge of overall affairs, Illusion Techniques, and theoretical knowledge about various cosmic races, their traits, strengths, weaknesses, and ally-enemy relations."

Purple-Robed Dragon Lady continued: "Combat techniques, Controller techniques, movement and neural reaction courses will be split roughly evenly between the virtual universe and reality. Illusion Techniques will mostly be in the virtual universe, with a small part in reality. Theoretical courses will all be learned in the virtual universe, which can simulate the appearances and auras of most common cosmic races, greatly aiding your learning. Schedules will be distributed to each of you. Not everyone's schedule will be identical; each person will have their focus. For example, pure warriors will only study combat techniques, neural reactions, and movement courses, occasionally sparring with Illusion Technique and Spiritual Master Controllers to gain experience... Next, the most important procedure of the opening ceremony—combat with the instructors!"

The trainees buzzed with noise. All four instructors were Universe Level Stage 9, an insurmountable existence for Planetary Level trainees.

"Everyone must display their peak strength when facing the instructors. This affects the camp AI system's evaluation," Purple-Robed Dragon Lady's cold words seemed to carry a strange power, suppressing all voices. "This time, Instructor Golden Lion will go first."

Instructor Golden Lion stepped to the center of the arena and shouted, "Everyone spread out! Come up in order, one by one. It'll be quick. A1, you first..."

A1 was a Planetary Level Stage 9 Spiritual Master Controller. He stepped forward, standing a hundred meters from Instructor Golden Lion, took out the Xinling Disk, and sent out blade-like thin slices to attack the instructor.

Instructor Golden Lion suppressed his strength to Star Level Stage 1. With a burst of speed, he ended the battle in a minute. Then A2 stepped forward, also defeated in a minute, followed by A3...

Yin Congyang was A4. After A3 was knocked back by Instructor Golden Lion's claw, he took out the Heaven-Opening Axe. At the same time, a dozen blades from the Xinling Disk on his back shot out first, attacking Instructor Golden Lion. They were casually deflected one by one. The Heaven-Opening Axe, carrying the power of the Three Law Domains, struck forward but was neutralized by Instructor Golden Lion. As nearly a minute passed, Instructor Golden Lion was about to knock him back with a claw when Yin Congyang suddenly unleashed a full-force Spiritual Impact, striking the instructor's soul. Though it didn't injure him, it interrupted his attack, allowing Yin Congyang to dodge the claw. Then Instructor Golden Lion stepped forward again and sent Yin Congyang flying to the wall, farther than the previous trainees. Clearly, Yin Congyang's final move had embarrassed him in front of the other three instructors, so he used a bit more force.

Instructor Green Bat and Instructor White Eagle let out a "heh" laugh. Instructor Golden Lion turned back and glared at them irritably.

Of course, it wasn't enough to make him furious. After all, this was an instructor assessment; everyone would do their utmost to display their peak combat power and best state. That was understandable.

Moreover, previous sessions had trainees who did the same. Instructor Golden Lion was easygoing and wouldn't hold a grudge. Yin Congyang, though he hadn't interacted much with Instructor Golden Lion, felt from their brief encounters that this move wouldn't make the instructor bear a grudge, so he boldly showcased his strong soul talent.

He had another purpose: to catch Purple-Robed Dragon Lady's attention. His soul was powerful, but he lacked secret techniques to unleash strong soul power, so his soul and Illusion Technique combat ability was low. Sure enough, after he used the Spiritual Impact, Purple-Robed Dragon Lady's eyes lit up, and she subtly glanced at Yin Congyang.

The instructor combat continued. There were no surprises in the later matches; each trainee was repelled by Instructor Golden Lion within a minute.

After more than three hours, everyone had sparred with Instructor Golden Lion for a minute.

"Alright, the camp AI system has collected the information," Purple-Robed Dragon Lady said coldly. "Everyone, return to your quarters. The camp AI system will soon issue each person's course schedule and time arrangements. Be sure to follow this schedule. Don't be late. Tardiness and early departure will be treated as absences. First tardiness: deduct 50 points. Second tardiness: deduct 500 points. If points are insufficient, they'll be recorded as negative until repaid. Third tardiness: immediate demotion to external member, and all distributed resources will be reclaimed, including the bloodline evolution agent..."

All trainees felt a chill in their hearts, silently taking note.
