"Your eyesight is good, but it's still a bit lacking. The monsters in the Wilderness Zone have much fiercer eyes than you."

Even the dead Black Dragon at the entrance has more imposing presence than you.

Zhang Junbao was neither frightened nor sympathetic to William's appearance.

He had already heard from the other trainees that this wasn't the first time William and his group had gambled against newcomers.

Some newcomers, out of pride or a lack of understanding of the skill gap, become arrogant and are completely crushed after betting. Some even die while hunting monsters to pay off their debts.

Although the Training Camp doesn't interfere with these matters, it doesn't mean Zhang Junbao has to put up with them.

"If you choose to bully newcomers, you should be prepared to run into a brick wall!" These were Shi Jiang's exact words. Shi Jiang looked down on William and the others from the bottom of his heart, but he was usually too lazy to bother with them.

" William Edith, Zhang Junbao, enter the Challenge Room!"

After both parties confirmed their agreement, a voice of electronic domination echoed in the Challenge Room.

The two exchanged a glance and then headed towards the Challenge Room.

" William, for the honor of your family and our alliance, defeat him!" Candace Polenas shouted.

These words seemed to provoke William again; he clenched his fists, and his murderous intent seemed to overflow.

In contrast, Zhang Junbao appeared rather leisurely, even picking his ear as he slowly walked in.

" Junbao, beat this guy to death! He's just bullying newbies!"

"If you win, your senior sister can grant you one request," Zhao Ruo shouted from the side.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Junbao nearly lost his footing and leaned forward.

Are you trying to cheer me on or are you trying to sabotage me?

The other trainees started to tease her when they heard this, which made Zhao Ruo was usually very easygoing, blush.

Many students were encouraging him, especially those who had lent money to Zhang Junbao, including some who had previously won money from betting against William.

This battle was not only a clash between veterans and newcomers, but also a confrontation between the European Union faction and the Huaxia Country faction. The competition among the trainees in the Training Camp was extremely fierce.

" Zhang Junbao, thank you for the 40 billion you gave me." William revealed a cruel smile, even his gums were covered in blood.

"Don't mention it, I haven't even thanked you for sending me that precious sword yet."

"Just don't cry later!" Zhang Junbao lay down on the sofa.

The two put on the dark blue helmets almost simultaneously.

Battle is about to break out!

Beneath the vast starry sky lies a silvery land, with only one arena in the center.

brush!

brush!

A young man with a yellow plaque and a young man with a white plaque appeared out of thin air on the ring; they were Zhang Junbao and William.

"Please select weapon and combat uniform."

An electronic introduction began, and at the same time, a large number of weapons and equipment appeared in front of Zhang Junbao.

Just like in the previous Trial Tower, Zhang Junbao chose a longsword and a suitable combat suit.

The equipment instantly appeared on the two of them.

Zhang Junbao glanced at William's information on the pillar of the arena.

Name: William Edith

Gender: Male

Identity: Official student of the Elite Training Camp

Combat Power Amplitude: Medium

Zhang Junbao's information is the same as William's, except that his ' Combat Power Amplitude ' is displayed as 'beginner' because he has not undergone the test of Fist Force Amplitude. What is displayed here is only the ' Combat Power Amplitude ' generated based on his Trial Tower level.

"Please select a battle scenario," the voice from the virtual space echoed once more.

Eight map scenes appeared before Zhang Junbao and William's eyes.

"You choose," William smiled slightly, "So you won't be resentful if you lose."

Why be so extravagant when you're poor?

Zhang Junbao didn't stand on ceremony and directly chose the scene.

"Open Wilderness Zone?"

"Do you really think that just because you've killed a few monsters, you can fight me in the Wilderness Zone?"

The two stood 200 meters apart, and the surrounding environment quickly transformed into Wilderness Zone. Using the center point between the two as a model, the Wilderness Zone scene rapidly expanded, forming a huge circular area with a diameter of 500 meters.

A light blue protective layer surrounded the area, preventing them from passing through.

In other words, the battleground for the two was this circular Wilderness Zone with a diameter of 500 meters.

A gust of wind blew by, and the knee-high weeds were bent over.

"Battle, begin!" the system's voice echoed.

At the same time, William, holding a round shield in one hand and a longsword in the other, looked confidently at Zhang Junbao: " Zhang Junbao, I gave you a chance to choose a favorable scene, but you didn't cherish it."

In this vast Wilderness Zone, I will show you the real difference between the veterans of the elite Training Camp Elite Training Camp and you, a newcomer!

A Spirit Reader who can't even use Spiritual Force dares to be so arrogant!

"Come on!" Zhang Junbao held the sword in one hand, blade facing down, smiled slightly, and beckoned with his left hand.

Showing the demeanor of a grandmaster!

William's lips curled slightly, and he suddenly lunged forward, instantly covering a distance of nearly a hundred meters. The tip of his longsword was like a ray of light, even causing ripples in the air, and the tip of the sword directly pierced Zhang Junbao's brow.

In just a few flashes, he was already in front of Zhang Junbao.

Zhang Junbao sidestepped, his longsword spinning in his hand, blocking William's sword, and at the same time forcefully pulled forward.

William felt he almost dropped his sword, and he took several steps forward to deflect the force.

He turned around again and thrust his sword at Zhang Junbao's neck. This time, the sword had five points, each seemingly solid, blocking Zhang Junbao's escape route.

Zhang Junbao feinted with his feet, narrowly dodging William's attack just as it was about to strike.

William missed his first strike, but his longsword changed direction again, slashing horizontally at Zhang Junbao's right arm, attempting to sever his hand completely.

"Bite!"

The two swords clashed, sparks flying. Zhang Junbao reversed his grip on the hilt, keeping the sword close to his arm, and blocked the attack.

The immense force separated the two bodies by tens of meters.

"Indeed, your swordsmanship is far more refined than that of martial artists outside."

Zhang Junbao praised him.

Are you humiliating me?

William roared angrily because he discovered that Zhang Junbao had kept his eyes closed from the very beginning of the battle, relying solely on his body's perception of the airflow to resist his attacks.

Arrogant!

I admit I underestimated your martial arts skills, but if you think you can defeat me with just this much, you're being far too naive!

Open your eyes, or you'll miss your chance.

None of the veteran trainees in the Elite Training Camp are as simple as you might imagine.

As he spoke, William attacked again, this time concealing his sword behind his round shield, using the shield to hide the location and aura of his attack.

It was clear that the angry roar was just to lower Zhang Junbao's guard.

Cunning, scheming—every method at his disposal is a way of fighting.

At the same time, Zhang Junbao sensed that William's aura had changed, becoming much stronger in an instant, and even his speed had increased significantly.

A savage aura swept towards Zhang Junbao, like that of a real wild beast.

William rushed in front of Zhang Junbao in an instant, and no matter how Zhang Junbao dodged, he could not escape his pursuit.

"Hahaha, I love this powerful feeling! Zhang Junbao, die!"

William went into a frenzy, and Zhang Junbao could tell that he seemed to have used some method to forcibly increase his strength.

But this is a virtual space. The fact that it was able to bypass the simulation of the virtual space clearly indicates that it utilized some kind of simulation rule.

Perhaps because his strength had improved, William underestimated Zhang Junbao from the very beginning.

He was not just Spirit Reader, but also a grandmaster of martial arts!

With his eyes bloodshot, William wildly swung his sword, his strength and speed now a whole level greater than before.

At this moment, William's swordsmanship had lost its previous subtlety and instead became more hysterical and frenzied.

He aimed to overpower Zhang Junbao with sheer force, intending to crush him with overwhelming power.

William's attacks were unstoppable, each sword strike as heavy as a cannonball, forcing Zhang Junbao to retreat all the way, his body almost crashing into the edge of the protective shield.

The shield is not lethal, but it is also impenetrable. Once cornered, it can only withstand all of William's attacks.

A smile crept across William's lips. Soon, if he defeated Zhang Junbao, his family would gain the attention of the Polenas Family behind Candace and become one of the top noble families in the European Union. Such an opportunity was once in a lifetime.

But in his frenzy, William suddenly had a question, "My attacks were so fast and powerful, so why isn't this man injured yet?"

Indeed, Zhang Junbao withstood all of William's attacks. Although the immense force of the attacks forced Zhang Junbao to retreat, Zhang Junbao kept his eyes closed until now.

He sensed the aura of William's attack; the movement technique at the Artistic Conception Level no longer required relying on the eyes to detect the enemy's movements, something Zhang Junbao had not yet reached.

Therefore, he took this opportunity to hone his skills and artistic conception using William.

The so-called "artistic conception" requires the user to condense a special true intent and integrate it into their movement techniques. Some martial artists aim for absolute evasion, needing to skillfully dodge every attack and completely incorporate the enemy's attacks into their own movement techniques.

Therefore, Zhang Junbao needed to close his eyes to train his ability to perceive William's attacks. The Artistic Conception Level movement technique is no longer about seeing and then dodging, but about predicting in advance through the unique combat intuition of a martial artist, and the reaction speed is much faster than seeing with the eyes.

Just as William was about to corner Zhang Junbao, he finally saw Zhang Junbao open his eyes. At the same time, it seemed as if a sword flashed by.

But the moment he came to his senses, he saw a headless corpse holding a round shield and a sword, charging forward a few steps before slowly collapsing.

"Your strength has indeed improved considerably, although I don't know what method you used to Combat Power Amplitude to a high level. But unfortunately, you don't have control over this power at all, which has caused your originally exquisite swordsmanship to become out of control."

Never use something that isn't your own as a trump card, because you can't control it.

You're too kind!

Zhang Junbao maintained the same posture, holding the sword in one hand with the blade pointing downwards, exuding elegance and composure.
