In the Nine-Story Tower Building.
Young men and women of all skin colors from all over the world—some bald, some with pigtails, some incredibly large, and some very thin—were all waiting and discussing.
"That newcomer named Zhang Junbao is really courting death, daring to challenge an old man. The progress he's made in a year of learning here is incomparable to those ordinary martial artists who roam the Wilderness Zone."
Does he really think he's invincible just because he's a Spirit Reader?
I really envy William, he has such a great opportunity to torment Spirit Reader. If only I were in his shoes, I would definitely make that yellow-faced kid feel my love, hahaha...
"Yeah, wouldn't it be better to lose 1 billion? Why did he even set his sights on Candace's sword? Is that something he can even move?"
The other students from Huaxia were really fools; they actually lent him money! Were they really afraid Candace and the others had too much money to spend?
"What can we do? He's Spirit Reader, making money fast, so naturally he doesn't care," a student from European Union country joked.
They knew William's strength; although not exceptionally strong, he was definitely not someone a newcomer could compare to.
Young men and women from European Union countries chatted and laughed, while students from other parts of the world also chatted idly. However, it was clear that most people here believed William would win.
After all, in battles between veterans and newcomers, the veterans almost always win. Only in very rare cases does a newcomer manage to emerge victorious.
Candace leaned back on a sofa, his eyes coldly fixed on the large screen above him. He would know the result of the battle as soon as it was announced.
Zhang Junbao wins the challenge!
The system's emotionless voice echoed through the hall, announcing a cruel truth.
silence!
The entire hall fell silent.
"What?"
The group of trainees from European Union countries stared wide-eyed, unable to believe what they were hearing.
"Oh my God, that's 40 billion Huaxia Currency! Even the Wargod doesn't have that much money!"
A group of young white and black men and women from America were also taken aback.
"That's impossible! William has the secret medicine I gave him, how could he possibly lose?"
This medicine has been developed by our HR Alliance for a long time. It allows trainees to unleash strength exceeding that of Advanced General-Level in the Challenge Space!
Candace's hands were bulging with veins, and he had torn the sofa beneath him to shreds.
All trainees entering the Challenge Space possess the same physical attributes: normal punching power of 10,000 kilograms, speed of 150 meters per second, and nerve reaction speed, equivalent to Elementary Warlord Level.
However, the secret drug Candace gave William could stimulate the user's brain through a special method, similar to a hallucinogenic drug, allowing him to overexert his body in the Challenge Space and reach a level of strength exceeding that of High-Level Warlord.
Combined with William's original swordsmanship, his strength would be considered extremely high even among High-Level Warlord. Zhang Junbao, on the other hand, could only use a body with the strength of Beginner Warlord.
However, this secret medicine places a huge burden on the user's body and mind. Once used, William may have to stay in bed for the next few months, and there may even be serious side effects.
This explains why William looked like he wanted to devour Zhang Junbao when he entered the Challenge Space. Regardless of the outcome, his genius career was essentially over. But if he succeeded, it would bring about the rise of his entire family.
William originally did not want to sacrifice himself for the future of his family, but Candace gave him no chance at all.
If they lose, not only will the future of the family be ruined, but Candace himself will also suffer.
Having lost the family's prized sword in the gamble, his status as the family's first heir is pretty much over. The Polenas Family has more than just him as an heir; there's a whole group of heirs waiting for him to make a mistake and kick him off the throne.
Therefore, even if it means resorting to extreme measures, Candace absolutely will not allow this challenge to fail.
Since he himself cannot play, the only way is to rely on external forces to strengthen William.
Candace knew that the Training Camp's system wouldn't detect the drug, meaning that, legally speaking, his actions weren't against the rules.
As for morality, what is that?
Candace, who thought he had made all the necessary preparations, never expected that Zhang Junbao was just using them as a whetstone to hone his skills.
Zhang Junbao wins the challenge!
The system's voice rang out again, shattering everyone's illusions.
In contrast to the incredulous expressions on the faces of students from other regions, the students from Huaxia erupted in unprecedented cheers.
Wow! We won!
Junbao, you're amazing! Your senior sister loves you to death!
Zhao Ruo had completely gone mad, screaming incessantly and jumping around.
"Four hundred billion Huaxia Currency! And Zhang Junbao won it all?"
The entire scene kept replaying in the minds of all the trainees: this fortune, which even the Wargod coveted, had just been won by Zhang Junbao?
"Impressive! Looks like the newcomers from Huaxia are not to be trifled with! Hahaha, this is what makes Training Camp interesting!"
Old Yang, looks like you've struck gold!
A teacher of War God Level said with a smile, and Yang Hui next to him also smiled.
Zhang Junbao was someone Yang Hui hired. If he gets beaten up shortly after joining, it would be a disgrace to Yang Hui.
"Click!" The Challenge Room door opened, and Zhang Junbao slowly walked out, his hand still drawing some kind of move, as if he was still immersed in the previous state.
William lay motionless on the sofa, blood seeping from his seven orifices, but he didn't care, looking completely resigned to his fate.
His eyes were dull and lifeless as he stared blankly at the ceiling.
"It's over, my genius career is over."
My family is finished!
"He lost the sword that is the heir to the Candace family's legacy! Candace won't let him off the hook, nor will he let his family off the hook!"
" Junbao, congratulations." Yang Hui said with a smile.
"Haha, it's all thanks to Teacher Yang's excellent guidance."
Zhang Junbao replied that although Yang Hui hadn't actually taught him anything, he had been admitted to the Elite Training Camp through Yang Hui's assessment, so nominally Yang Hui was his teacher.
One sentence made Yang Hui, the " Wargod," grin from ear to ear, greatly boosting his prestige among the other teachers—why not?
Life isn't just about fighting and killing; it also involves human relationships and social interactions. Zhang Junbao isn't the kind of martial artist whose mind is only focused on muscles.
At that moment, Candace roared, drawing everyone's attention to him.
"Zhang! Jun! Bao!"
"Huh? Are you going to congratulate me?"
"No need to be so polite. You should go check on William; it seems like something's wrong with him." Zhang Junbao turned around and looked at Candace.
However, Candace didn't even glance at William; instead, her eyes were fixed on Zhang Junbao, her gaze seemingly blazing with fire.
You deserve to die!
"This sword is the heir's token of my Polenas Family, you absolutely cannot take it!" Candace shouted frantically.
"A bet's a bet. When you challenged me to a duel, didn't you ever consider the possibility of losing?"
Or did you, Candace, never intend to abide by the Training Camp's challenge rules from the beginning, and plan to renege on your promise?
Zhang Junbao had considered the possibility that Candace might renege on the agreement from the beginning, but under the rules of the Elite Training Camp, could he really get away with it?
The reason Zhang Junbao kept creating momentum from the beginning and making this matter escalate was to use the rules of the Training Camp and the momentum formed by the other trainees to put pressure on Candace.
So what about the Polenas Family of the HR Alliance? Would they really risk offending the Limits Dojo and so many other powerful forces for the sake of an heir?
