A Planetary-level Force Amplitude of 12 times, or a mental force amplitude of 10 times.

This standard was not actually very high, but that depended on who was being judged.

Even an Immortal like Hu Yan Bo, who barely had the strength of a feudal lord and possessed considerable wealth, only had an average Force Amplitude of 10 times among the Apprentice Grade members of Yun Mo Star.

But this was merely a small dojo in a star system, and the trainees were of poor quality. Naturally, they could not compare with Yun Mo Star.

Even after breaking through to the Planetary-level and undergoing a leap in life level, which greatly enhanced one's overall strength, the average level of these poorly grounded trainees would only reach the standard he had set.

If the requirements were too high and hardly anyone could meet them, there would be no point.

He might as well relax the standards a little and give others more opportunities to improve.

In any case, if the trainees performed well, it would all count as his contribution to the Ganwu Dojo.

More importantly, these were originally trainees from planets within his territory. Some would inevitably improve significantly and earn him system rewards.

And once the trainees from his territory saw how wealthy he was, all he had to do was say the word, and they would readily come to his territory on their own.

The Ganwu Dojo charged fees as well, and they were not cheap for true commoners. The registration fee alone cost several hundred White Dragon Coins, equivalent to an ordinary Planetary-level person's annual income, and they had to continue paying 10 White Dragon Coins every year afterward.

Those who could afford that money might not be particularly strong, but they certainly would not be the weakest among the bottom rung.

If he recruited them, they could all become relatively high-quality citizens.

"You handle all of that. Also, the application to relocate the dojo from its original planet to War God Star has been approved. I'll leave that matter to you as well. Make sure it is completed as soon as possible."

"Relocate the dojo?" The smile on Mu Ai's face stiffened.

His lord had indeed mentioned this matter before, but Mu Ai had thought it would take quite a while at the very least...

He had not expected it to come so soon, and this would not be easy to handle!

Although the Ganwu Dojo of Hunyuan Galaxy was small in scale, it still had well over a hundred thousand trainees.

The vast majority of them had lived on their original planets for a long time, and some even had their entire families there. Suddenly asking all of them to move to another planet...

Many trainees would definitely be unwilling, feeling that the impact was too great.

Although a Universe-level One-Leaf Qian Wu Adept had given the order, so the matter would certainly proceed no matter how dissatisfied the trainees were, all that pressure from their resentment would fall on Mu Ai's head...

Wang Yu saw his expression and guessed what he was thinking. Smiling, he said, "I know this relocation will affect the trainees' lives. It isn't a good thing."

"But this is simple. Give all the trainees relocation subsidies."

"Subsidies?" Mu Ai was stunned.

"Planetary-level trainees get ten thousand White Dragon Coins each. Star-level trainees get one million White Dragon Coins each. Instructors get ten million White Dragon Coins each," Wang Yu said calmly.

"Ah...?" Mu Ai was completely dumbfounded.

Ten thousand for Planetary-level? One million for Star-level?

He was giving them that much???

"Any other issues?" Wang Yu looked at him.

"No issues at all! My lord, I will complete the relocation as quickly as possible! All the trainees will surely be delighted to live on your planet!" Mu Ai said loudly.

Giving money—though the method was simple and crude.

It had to be said that it was indeed extremely effective!

Moving to another planet was troublesome, but with that much money offered, who would be unwilling?

Tian Shi stood to the side, listening in utter disbelief.

The way his teacher solved problems...

Why did it feel like it was all about giving money???

Whatever was difficult, he simply solved it directly by throwing money at it???

Was that how powerful people solved problems???

"Alright, that's all for the dojo's affairs." Wang Yu ignored their reactions and stood up.

"Next, we'll go to the Killing Fields and see how the trainees are performing."

After another teleportation, the three arrived at the Killing Fields on White Dragon Sea Island.

They appeared at the entrance to a hall. Around them was what seemed like a vast sea of blood, and above them floated a gigantic drop of blood.

The entire hall was extraordinarily vast, as large as a city. Its end could not be seen at a glance.

However, there were not many people in the hall. They were scattered about, making the place seem sparse.

That was because the Killing Fields were extremely expensive. Ordinary people simply could not afford to come often, and most only spent a large sum to stay for a few days when they truly needed to.

Tian Shi looked around in amazement, while Mu Ai said to Wang Yu, "My lord, I'll summon the trainees to pay their respects to you immediately."

"No hurry. It's inconvenient to talk in the hall. Let's go to a Meditation Room," Wang Yu stopped him.

"A Meditation Room? My lord has a Meditation Room in the Killing Fields?" Mu Ai was startled.

"Not yet. I did not come here much before, but I may come more often from now on, so I'll rent one now." Wang Yu smiled.

Mu Ai was shocked upon hearing this. His lord truly deserved to be a Universe-level powerhouse—he was really rich!

The Killing Fields hall was for ordinary people.

On the second floor were individual Meditation Rooms, all rented by at least Universe-level powerhouses.

In truth, powerful people simply disliked mingling with weaker people in the main hall because it made them seem cheap, so they spent money to rent private rooms.

Wang Yu found a Killing Fields staff member and spent one million Universe Coins to rent a Meditation Room for one hundred years.

After going up to the second floor, they found it was like a quiet maze. Wang Yu and his group entered the Meditation Room they had just rented.

Wang Yu took the main seat and looked at Tian Shi. "Tian Shi, the Killing Fields are an excellent place for training."

"There are the Slaughter Space and the Decisive Battle Space. In the Slaughter Space, you can freely make requests to the Virtual Universe System and set the opponents you wish to fight—for example, a thousand Planetary-level ninth-rank humans, or cosmic beasts."

"Of course, a better way to use it is to set opponents whose conditions are nearly identical to yours in every aspect, but who are stronger than you. By fighting them, you can observe and comprehend what they do better than you, allowing you to improve rapidly."

"An opponent identical to me, yet stronger than me?" Tian Shi's eyes lit up.

"As for the Decisive Battle Space, it is for battling other users of the Killing Fields. The system can randomly match you, or you can send a challenge invitation to a specific target."

"The Decisive Battle Space assigns one to nine stars as a combat rating based on each person's wins and losses. One star is the weakest, while nine stars is the strongest."

"Up to five stars is fairly ordinary. Only from six stars onward can one be considered an expert among those of the same rank."

"Teacher, this disciple will obtain a nine-star rating as quickly as possible and will never bring shame upon you!" Tian Shi answered respectfully.

"I haven't even stated any requirements yet!" Wang Yu laughed.

"I will not particularly demand that you accomplish anything. That depends on you. But if you wish to challenge yourself, that is naturally best."

"In short, that is the Killing Fields. How you can rapidly improve your strength here and what achievements you can attain all depend on you."

"What I can give you is guidance whenever you are confused, along with the resources to use the Killing Fields freely."

"Thank you for your grace, Teacher!" Tian Shi said loudly.

"Mu Ai, guide Tian Shi and explain the various functions of the Killing Fields to him."

"Yes! Tian Shi, let me explain..."

Having received Wang Yu's order, Mu Ai gave Tian Shi a detailed explanation.

After listening, Tian Shi felt that fighting virtual opponents was uninteresting. He did not go to the Slaughter Space, instead heading straight to the Decisive Battle Space to challenge real people.

Afterward, Mu Ai gathered all the trainees currently training in the Killing Fields and brought them to the Meditation Room to meet Wang Yu.

After looking over everyone and their records, it was unsurprising that...

There were no particularly outstanding geniuses.

They were merely somewhat stronger than natives. Their bloodlines were all at the seventh or eighth class by cosmic nation citizen standards, and their talent was merely passable—not terrible, but not good either.

Wang Yu casually told the trainees to continue training in the Killing Fields, while Mu Ai was sent away to train as well.

Wang Yu also gave all the dojo instructors ten days to train in the Killing Fields, with all expenses paid by him.

For a Star-level ninth-rank person like Mu Ai, using the Slaughter Space for training cost one hundred million White Dragon Coins per day!

At such a price, ordinary Star-level people simply could not afford it. Thus, Mu Ai cherished every second. If Wang Yu had not summoned him, he would not have wanted to leave the Killing Fields at all!

Wang Yu could not help but sigh. It was only natural that he had not found any geniuses. Hunyuan Galaxy was merely an ordinary small galaxy. After finding one Tian Shi, how could he possibly so easily find more exceptionally talented geniuses?
