Wang Ji continued his diligent training every day. In his spare time, he would go shopping and enjoy delicious food with Wang Yan and Xia Ning. Life was relaxed and carefree.

Occasionally, he would visit Roland Culture Group. Though called a group, it was actually just a small enterprise. It held a 10% stake in Zhongdian Webnovel Group, owned a publishing house, and was involved in webnovel IP development and scriptwriting. Thus, a parent company was established to oversee these three core business areas.

Luo Xinlan had a paralyzed younger sister. Because of this, and because Gao Qiang had access to certain high-end medical channels, Luo Xinlan had been forced to submit to him. Wang Ji had helped contact the medical department of Limit Martial Hall, and the results were quite promising. Luo Xinlan, in turn, diligently helped Wang Ji manage the company.

"Wang Ji, hurry to the 36th floor! People from the Martial Hall headquarters are here to evaluate you!" While Wang Ji was training in the A083 training room, a staff member rushed over to notify him.

"Martial Hall headquarters? An evaluation?" Wang Ji's spirits lifted. "Is there a response to Director Zhuge's application? The Elite Training Camp?"

Upstairs, when Wang Ji arrived, Zhuge Tao was chatting with a robust man. Once Wang Ji entered, Zhuge Tao introduced him: "This is Wang Ji, a genius trainee from our Jiangnan Base City. In just over a month, he has mastered the second level of the 36-Fold Waves, achieving a force amplitude of 2!"

He then turned to Wang Ji and introduced the man: "Wang Ji, this is Jin Tong, an instructor from the Elite Training Camp at the Martial Hall headquarters. Instructor Jin Tong is an intermediate Warlord, and he is here to evaluate you!"

It really was the Elite Training Camp. Wang Ji felt incredibly excited.

Although Wang Ji possessed the golden finger of the dungeon system, he still needed to find the dungeons themselves. Only by seeing a broader horizon and gaining higher authority and status could he have the opportunity to reach places he had never touched before, and thus discover more dungeon spaces.

Otherwise, just shuttling between Jiangnan Base City and the Wilderness Zone, the probability of finding new dungeons would likely be quite low.

Furthermore, it was necessary to attend the Elite Training Camp. It was rich in resources and talent, allowing for faster growth.

In a situation where he had to find dungeons himself, working in isolation was not an option.

After a series of tests on his basic punch power and speed, the Elite Training Camp instructor said, "It is indeed a 2-fold amplitude. Your footwork is also quite good; with the coordination of your spiritual energy, you have actually reached the Perfection level. You have passed my assessment. As long as you pass the B-level assessment of the Elite Training Camp, you can officially enter."

Zhuge Tao asked, "It still requires a B-level assessment?"

Jin Tong replied, "After all, Wang Ji's force amplitude is a bit weak, only 2. If it weren't for the bonus points for his age and short cultivation time, it might have been even harder for him to enter the Elite Training Camp."

Wang Ji nodded: "No problem! Instructor, I am willing to try."

"Good, prepare yourself. We depart early the day after tomorrow," Jin Tong said.

Elite Training Camp, Jiangnan Pavilion, inside Wang Ji's villa. Wang Ji had already settled in. Passing the B-level test had been difficult; he had barely made it within the time limit. If he could have used his spiritual energy in that Trial Tower, his Perfection-level footwork would have made things easier for him, but unfortunately, spiritual energy could not be used there. Thus, passing the B-level assessment had been quite arduous.

Fortunately, he had passed. Wang Ji became a new trainee of the Elite Training Camp.

After having a meal with his seniors Shi Jiang and Zhao Ruo from Jiangnan Pavilion, Wang Ji had initially integrated into the Elite Training Camp. An intermediate Warlord named Rong Yuan became Wang Ji's mentor. Although Instructor Rong Yuan was only an intermediate Warlord, his sword technique was at an extremely high level; his Concept-level swordplay was rare even among advanced Warlords. That was why he could serve as an instructor at the Elite Training Camp despite being an intermediate Warlord.

In the Elite Training Camp, there was not only mentor-style guidance but also large classes with dozens of students.

At ten o'clock in the morning, on the 3rd floor of the Comprehensive Training Building, there was a lecture on force amplitude that many trainees had signed up for. Shi Jiang and Zhao Ruo were also attending.

Shi Jiang said, "Recently, the force-generating manual 36-Fold Waves has become very popular. I heard it was just unearthed from ruins. Now, the higher-ups, including our trainees, are all studying this manual. Many people are saying that our previous understanding of force amplitude on Earth was wrong, that we were on the wrong path. That's why both the higher-ups and our training camp have been organizing many courses to study 36-Fold Waves lately."

Only then did Wang Ji understand the content of this lecture.

On the podium, after the instructor gave a brief introduction, the session turned to discussion and questions. This kind of class was certainly different from school; the trainees didn't sit in neat rows. They gathered in small groups of three or five, sitting on the wooden floor, ready to ask questions, debate, or even spar at any time. Shi Jiang, Zhao Ruo, Wang Ji, and two other Chinese trainees sat together.

"Instructor, what is the most advanced level of 36-Fold Waves training currently?" a white European trainee asked.

The instructor replied, "The most advanced level currently disclosed is likely the fifth level, mastered by Inspector Ford of the Thunderbolt Martial Hall. As for those closest to us, among our own trainees, Shi Jiang, you should be nearing the completion of the fourth level, right? A force amplitude of 3.8?"

Shi Jiang nodded.

Zhao Ruo's eyes widened, "Senior Brother, you're already this amazing! And you were keeping it to yourself!"

Shi Jiang laughed, "I wasn't hiding it. My force amplitude was already nearly 3.6 before. Once I came into contact with this new manual, I felt like it all clicked, and my force improved further."

The instructor said, "Then Shi Jiang, why don't you tell everyone about your force generation? Since everyone came to this class, it means they have all bought 36-Fold Waves and are studying it. Only by exchanging ideas can everyone progress faster."

Shi Jiang didn't go up to the podium; he just sat cross-legged and said, "My force generation is one layer stacked upon another, like this..." He threw a punch, and with a bang, he continued, "Find your body's core for force generation. All power starts from the core. This is one layer..."

"Bang!" A crisp sound rang out.

"This is two layers..."

"Bang!" The sound was dull.

"Like this, before the first layer of force reaches the fist, the second layer catches up to the first, stacking and exploding..."

"That's wrong!" Wang Ji suddenly interjected.

"Hmm?" Both Shi Jiang and Zhao Ruo were stunned. In the days they had spent together, Wang Ji had seemed humble and polite; why would he suddenly contradict Shi Jiang? Furthermore, as far as they knew, Wang Ji's amplitude was only 2. How could he have the courage to contradict Shi Jiang, who had an amplitude of 3.8?

"Who is he?" some trainees asked.

"He's a new trainee who just joined the camp."

"What an arrogant newcomer! Does he still think he's a genius back in his base city or some martial hall? Here, he's probably the weakest one!" A buzzing sound of discussion filled the room.
