Jiangnan Pavilion

In less than a few minutes,

Zhou Hao's Trial Tower results spread like a hurricane.

The Limit Martial Hall, Thunderclap Martial Hall, HR Alliance, the five major powers, and the various base cities—countless factions received the shocking news immediately.

The first reaction of many experts, including Councilors, was that it was impossible.

But after it was verified,

they were all dumbfounded, just like Xia Jing.

Since the Great Nirvana, Earth had not lacked geniuses. But it was the first time they had encountered a genius like Zhou Hao, whose physical fitness, movement technique, saber technique, and everything else were all equally monstrous.

"Head for Hongning Base City immediately—the headquarters of the Global Elite Training Camp!" After recovering from their shock, every faction once again dispatched representatives to rush to the training camp as quickly as possible.

When Zhou Hao had previously tested his physical fitness, they had merely believed that he had a certain chance of breaking through to the War God Level. But now that his Trial Tower results were out, every faction unanimously concluded that Zhou Hao would definitely become an expert beyond the War God Level!

Perhaps he might even reach the heights of Hong and Thor.

Inside the quiet room of the Giant Starship,

Hong was also greatly surprised when he received the news. He had come into contact with quite a few Ancient Civilization Relics and naturally understood that the universe contained countless geniuses. Thus, he had not reacted much to the earlier Zhou Hao. Even now, he was merely surprised.

Surprised that Earth had produced such a genius.

Very soon,

Thor called. "Big Brother, little Zhou Hao is incredible. You and I both know that physical fitness can be enhanced with treasures, but movement techniques, saber techniques, and the like require comprehension and experience. This kid is only four years old. Even if he had encountered manuals in those areas, his performance is still a little too terrifying."

Hong was much calmer. "What's so terrifying about it? The Great Nirvana happened more than twenty years ago. It's about time our Earth gave birth to a genius!"

"Right, right, it is time for a genius to appear." Thor rubbed his bald head. "Big Brother, what are you planning to do?"

Hong said casually, "Let nature take its course. What is mine cannot be taken by anyone. But the kid is too young. Let him train at the camp for a while first. As for everyone else, don't let them come disturb him!"

Thor gave a soft cry of surprise. "Big Brother, you're stepping in personally?"

"Earth has finally produced a genius. We can't let these people ruin him." With that, Hong began making calls.

Europe.

HR Alliance headquarters building.

Chairperson Isadora, her hair silver-white, sat quietly in her chair.

A middle-aged man beside her said with a smile, "Chairperson, you truly have foresight and decisiveness. Zhou Hao will certainly become another Councilor in the future."

A smile appeared on the silver-haired old woman's face. "This child is even more outstanding than I anticipated. The conditions I offered him before now seem far too easy."

"Should we increase the difficulty, then?" the middle-aged man asked cautiously.

"Increase the difficulty now? Hehe, do you think he is unsuitable for our HR Alliance?" Chairperson Isadora's cane struck the floor.

Fine sweat immediately broke out across the middle-aged man's forehead and body. "Chairperson, I... I didn't mean that."

Isadora snorted. "Remove the restrictions. From now on, Zhou Hao and his sister will enjoy the same treatment permanently. No matter the cost, make this child feel the sincerity of our Isadora Family."

"Yes!"

Global Elite Training Camp.

Hong, the world's strongest expert, had stepped in, causing the many factions to return empty-handed. They could only try to influence and recruit Zhou Hao through the camp's members.

Inside the training camp.

After leaving the Nine-story Tower,

Xia Jing's excited mood gradually settled. He brought Zhou Hao and Zhou Ying'er to a cluster of buildings where the students lived.

"This complex covers a large area. Every pavilion courtyard was built in an ancient style. You may freely name the pavilion where you live. Of course, most Chinese students name theirs after the base city where they grew up. At present, no one from Jiangnan Base City has entered the training camp, so I'll leave the naming task to you two."

As he spoke, Xia Jing led the siblings to a pavilion courtyard.

"Let's call it Jiangnan Pavilion." Zhou Ying'er smiled.

"I agree." Zhou Hao nodded.

Xia Jing chuckled. "All right. I'll have the logistics staff make a plaque for this pavilion courtyard later and hang it over the gate."

They entered the pavilion courtyard.

Looking around,

there were four pavilions arranged in an arch. Each pavilion had a basement, living room, dining room, martial arts hall, and other rooms.

"Ying'er, Zhou Hao, congratulations!" At that moment, Wang Ning, Yang Kuo, and the others waved and shouted from the third floor of a nearby pavilion.

Xia Jing said, "The Kyoto Tower is next to yours. Wang Ning and the others live there. Whenever new Chinese students pass the testing assessment, they usually hold a welcome banquet. After resting for a while, you can attend the dinner."

As he spoke, Xia Jing's communication wristwatch vibrated.

He lowered his head to glance at it, then directly hung up. Helplessly, he said, "That was the thirty-first call. Zhou Hao, you performed too well. Many factions can no longer sit still. They will definitely try to recruit you through other students. Remember, don't easily agree to anyone else's conditions. Be patient and train properly first."

"I understand," Zhou Hao replied.

Xia Jing smiled. "Choose your pavilions first. There are still ten days until April. Tomorrow, I'll officially begin teaching you two. Once April arrives, you'll have to go out and hunt monsters according to whether the last digit of your ranking is odd or even. So use these ten days to temper yourselves properly."

Zhou Ying'er nodded firmly. "Yes, Teacher Xia."

After Xia Jing left,

Zhou Hao walked up to Zhou Ying'er with a grin. "Sis, you don't have to worry now, right?"

Zhou Ying'er had not truly calmed down yet, but the moment she saw his expression, she put her hands on her hips. "You little brat, tell me honestly. Have you been secretly learning behind my back?"

"Not at all. I only watched some videos of martial artists hunting monsters." Zhou Hao answered, then added, "Sis, this place is so big. I'm scared at night, so I want to sleep with you."

Smack!

A crisp forehead flick rang out.

Zhou Ying'er said irritably, "How old are you already? You still want to sleep with your sister? Aren't you ashamed? All right, hurry up and pick a pavilion. I'll make your bed later. And you need to change those clothes too. Remember to change tonight."

After saying that, she walked straight toward the pavilion on the left.

Zhou Hao sighed. Looking at Zhou Ying'er's retreating figure, he worried over how to secretly raise his sister's strength.

Especially the Ancient Civilization Gravity Room. That thing was the most efficient for improving strength, but it was far too conspicuous. As for the Spirit of Grass and Wood, he had not dared to put any in Zhou Ying'er's food when they were at home. Mainly because the effects of the Spirit of Grass and Wood were not weak—even diluted, Zhou Ying'er could easily sense it with her strength.

"Forget it, I'll start with the Spirit of Grass and Wood." Zhou Hao muttered. He had displayed some of his abilities this time, so it would not be difficult to explain if the HR Alliance obtained some resources like Spirit of Grass and Wood for him.

That evening,

Wang Ning, Yang Kuo, and the other students living in the Kyoto Tower came over to invite Zhou Hao and his sister.

Since it was a welcome banquet for themselves, the two naturally could not refuse.
