"What codename are you going to choose?" Yang Hui asked. "Today happens to be June 1st, and you officially joined the Training Camp on June 1st, 2156... So, the first four digits of your codename must be '5606'. As for the last two digits, since you're the only one joining in June, you can choose any two numbers."
Zhang Junbao suddenly realized why there was a number after each name on the black dragon carving.
The last person I saw ranked number one was Renatus Bridge (520321).
It seems this person entered the Training Camp in March 2152, and has been Training Camp for a full four years now.
"What are you going to choose for the last two digits?" Yang Hui asked.
"Then...19 it is!" Zhang Junbao replied.
1 and 9 are the ultimate numbers, with 1 being the beginning and 9 the end. This implies the Chaos nature of the universe and also represents the hope that one can reach the ultimate in this new world.
"19?" Yang Hui nodded. "Then your student number is 560619. The rest of the formalities will be completed shortly."
Soon, the 181st name appeared on the Black Dragon Sculpture Ranking of the World's Number One Training Camp— "NO.181 Zhang Junbao (560619)."
This message spread almost instantly to the world's five major powers and their respective Base City.
Special departments of some government and military forces, as well as the nine core families of the HR Alliance, and dozens of other important families quickly received this information. Moreover, on the same day, each of these institutions and organizations received a detailed report on Zhang Junbao!
Starting from his birth, his childhood experiences, and his parents' situation...
Not long ago, he rose to prominence, and in the hospital, he went on a rampage, taking on five people single-handedly, which terrified Zhang Haobai so much that he wet his pants.
In a practical assessment, one person delayed two major monsters and even managed to kill Black-Crowned Golden Eagle. He single-handedly ventured into the Wilderness Zone, fighting his way out of a horde of monsters...
Then, not long ago, Zhang Zehu suddenly went berserk in Mingyue Residential Area and attempted to attack Zhang Junbao's family. These events have all been brought to the attention of various organizations.
Inside an underground building in Huaxia Country, the Kyoto Base City.
There are three underground layers.
Inside the elegantly decorated office, a lean man dressed in loose-fitting training clothes tapped lightly on the table with one hand while flipping through information about Zhang Junbao with the other.
"Send orders to the branch in Jiangnan Base City to send people to secretly watch Zhang Junbao's family 24 hours a day. First, ensure that Zhang Junbao's family never leaves Jiangnan Base City. Second, ensure the safety of Zhang Junbao's family."
"Conduct a thorough investigation of the entire system within Yi'an District. We absolutely cannot allow what happened last time to repeat itself!"
The lean man had a black mole on his chin and a cold gaze. If it hadn't been for the intervention of the Limits Dojo last time, they might have missed out on Zhang Junbao, a genius. In these critical times, the higher-ups absolutely could not allow such a genius to be buried.
"Yes!"
Zhang Junbao's news spread to all the major powers in the world in a very short time. Every major power would assign people to keep a close eye on the situation of the ' Elite Training Camp ', because every student there might be a future Wargod.
It is said that the weather in June is like a baby's face, with sunshine and rain changing in an instant. A torrential rain swept in, dispelling the restless atmosphere in the Training Camp.
"Pitter-patter!" Raindrops slapped against the umbrella, splashing onto pedestrians' faces through it.
Holding an oil-paper umbrella, Zhang Junbao followed Yang Hui across a wooden arched bridge and arrived at a garden.
Yang Hui pointed to the garden not far away and said, " Junbao, that garden over there is Jiangnan Pavilion. There are already two students living in the Jiangnan Pavilion Jiangnan Pavilion, and you are the third student living there."
" Jiangnan Pavilion does have a certain charm; it's a good place to cultivate one's mind and achieve tranquility."
"Haha, I didn't expect you to be so fascinated by ancient culture. This Jiangnan Pavilion is named after the Base City."
The two students currently residing in the Jiangnan Pavilion are both from Jiangnan Base City, but they both arrived earlier than you.
Yang Hui, with a mysterious expression, suddenly lowered his voice and said, "I'm reminding you, one of the two students currently residing in the Jiangnan Pavilion is named Shi Jiang! He's extremely powerful; even I'm not confident I can beat him. It would be beneficial for you to get on his good side."
"Teacher, are you not confident you can beat him?" Zhang Junbao looked at Yang Hui curiously. Since he had officially joined the Training Camp, Zhang Junbao now also called Yang Hui" teacher".
Yang Hui, a Mid-level Wargod, admitted he was no match for a mere student?
"Um."
Yang Hui nodded. "There's nothing shameful about it. All the teachers in the academy know that Shi Jiang is one of the top five students in the Training Camp."
Many trainees in this Elite Training Camp already possess ' Wargod strength,' but they simply don't seek the title of Wargod! This way, they can stay in the Training Camp. In fact, almost every one of the top thirty trainees in the entire Training Camp has Wargod strength."
Zhang Junbao was somewhat surprised. To be ranked only in the top thirty and already possess the strength of Wargod? Yang Hui was Mid-level Wargod, and Shi Jiang, ranked fifth, had surpassed him. Didn't that mean the number one ranked person was at least High-level War God, or even possibly a top-tier High-level War God?
With this level of skill, how dare you stay in the academy? You're shameless!
Zhang Junbao couldn't help but feel disdain. It would be one thing if only the top few possessed the strength of Wargod. But the top thirty all had this strength, yet they remained in the academy.
While the abundance of resources in academies certainly plays a role, such individuals lack even the courage to fight alone. Even if they were trained, they would merely be so-called "strongmen" from the academic world.
He could be a fierce general, but not a brilliant strategist!
They're all pretending to be weak while actually being strong; they could have graduated, but they stubbornly stayed in this Training Camp, refusing to leave and enduring the full five years.
But if you've been a pig for too long, can you really become a tiger? I'm afraid that if you've been a pig for too long, you'll really become a pig.
Having grown accustomed to comfortable resources, how many of them could truly lead a battle, charging to the front lines to shield others from harm?
Perhaps their talent was indeed outstanding, but Zhang Junbao had deep doubts about this method of training.
Back then, when Hong and Thunder God led humanity out of the horde of monsters, who sheltered them from the wind and rain? Who set tasks for them and rewarded them?
No!
Only by gritting his teeth, enduring the pain, and stubbornly leading humanity in battle against monsters time and time again, could he carve out a peaceful haven for humankind.
But these so-called human geniuses, whose strength is undeniable, are still hiding in the academy, greedily seeking these resources.
It wasn't that Zhang Junbao was arrogant, but at this moment he looked down on these so-called geniuses from the bottom of his heart, because no matter how strong they were, they could not lead humanity to a new future.
Even under such favorable conditions, not a single person attempted to surpass Hong and Thunder God.
"Those in the top five are all freaks!" Yang Hui said in a low voice. "The competition is fierce, especially among the top five, with elites from all over the world. To maintain a position in the top Shi Jiang for so long... once he graduates, he'll definitely receive top-tier treatment wherever he goes!"
"If he were in my Limits Dojo, for example, the position of president of the Jiangnan Base City, he could easily obtain it," Yang Hui said.
"If he can endure a few more years and break through his limits, becoming the ' Inspector ' of my Limits Dojo wouldn't be impossible." Yang Hui sighed. Perhaps he was now on par with that ' Shi Jiang ' in strength, but he was already over fifty, while Shi Jiang was only in his twenties!
That person has a bright future ahead of them.
Yang Hui also remarked that one of the students here had far more potential than he, the teacher.
"A bright future?"
"Are the trainees here only thinking about their own bright future?" Zhang Junbao's words made Yang Hui think of something unusual.
"Don't these people in the top 30 ever think about where the resources they receive come from?"
Yang Hui wanted to say something more, but then he realized what he meant.
Zhang Junbao's tone was full of disdain.
Yes, a group of students whose actual physical abilities and strength are at the War God Level are hiding here doing tasks prepared for martial artists who are nominally at the highest level of " High-Level Warlord," and they are taking the rewards prepared for " High-Level Warlord " without any qualms.
What's the difference between this behavior and a group of undergraduates going to middle and high schools, vying for top rankings, and taking their rewards?
Is this all the so-called world's top geniuses are?
Is it because of this that resources are easier to obtain in the " Elite Training Camp "?
