Soon, a special vial containing medicine was handed to Candace. Candace looked at the vial with the warning symbol in her hand, her face gradually contorting into a grimace.
This was his last lifeline; whether he could defeat Zhang Junbao depended on this one battle.
" Zhang Junbao, although I admit you are indeed a genius, this is Elite Training Camp. What is being tested here is not only strength, but also background and foundation."
You, a poor boy from a humble family, dare to challenge the noble Polenas Family? Dream on!
The previous incident involving William had already caused extreme dissatisfaction among the Elite Training Camp's leadership towards the Polenas Family, but Candace insisted that William had acted on his own initiative, shifting all the blame onto William's family. Although the Training Camp's leadership was not satisfied with this outcome, it was clearly impossible to deal with a behemoth like the Polenas Family based on a single act of cheating.
Ultimately, William's family became the scapegoats.
In a corner where no one could see her, Candace swallowed the medicine in her hand.
"Hahahaha..." Candace's laughter revealed a hint of madness.
"This is not an experimental subject for trash like William, but a special potion developed by our Polenas Family using technology from an ancient civilization. It can give the user a power that surpasses their own strength for a short period of time."
Being able to bypass the Virtual Challenge Room's detection mechanism allows me to briefly possess power comparable to High-level War God, even within the Virtual Challenge Room, and unleash the strength of High-level War God. Although it only lasts three minutes, that's enough to defeat you!
But is power so easily obtained? Candace himself is only High-Level Warlord, close to the strength of Wargod, yet he is forcing himself to exert the strength of High-level War God. Although the time is only three minutes, having to use the body of High-Level Warlord to withstand the power of High-level War God will put enormous pressure on his body and mind, ultimately leading to a double collapse of body and mind.
The side effects are extremely severe; it was developed by the Polenas Family as an ultimate drug for martial artists to use in their final desperate attempt.
Most martial artists wouldn't dare use this unless it was a life-or-death situation; they would only resort to it as a last-ditch effort when there was truly no hope of survival.
The medicine he gave William before was an experimental version of this medicine. It wasn't as effective as the one he took, but the side effects were more severe.
As Candace stepped out of the secret room, she happened to hear the broadcast coming from the Virtual Challenge Room.
" Renatus Bridge vs. Zhang Junbao, Zhang Junbao wins!" The emotionless electronic voice was like a cold steel knife held to the necks of all the geniuses in the Elite Training Camp, sending a chill down their spines.
" Renatus Bridge lost too? How is that possible? He's been in Training Camp for four years, always holding the number one ranking—an invincible genius!"
Why would such a prodigy appear in Huaxia, slaughtering Elite Training Camp like dogs?
Are we still considered top geniuses in the world? If so, then what is Zhang Junbao?
The America trainees were also devastated. Their pride had always been Renatus Bridge, because Renatus Bridge had consistently ranked first in the Training Camp, which made the America trainees feel superior to others.
But now, their faith, when faced with Zhang Junbao, also crumbled. The genius collapsed, and everyone's faith was shattered along with him.
"Cheating! Zhang Junbao must have cheated! How could he possibly defeat Renatus Bridge? Our America geniuses are the strongest!" a student began to scream hysterically.
"Enough! Look at yourselves! You're utterly disgraceful!"
At this moment, Renatus Bridge slowly walked out of the Challenge Room. Although he had lost to Zhang Junbao, his steps seemed more determined than ever before.
"Genius is someone who can be surpassed. If you don't want to be crushed, then rely on all your own efforts. None of us are anyone else's idol; I'm just a student in the Elite Training Camp."
Failure itself is not terrible; what is terrible is giving up after one failure.
I, Renatus Bridge, have never been afraid of challenges. I have to thank Zhang Junbao, whose long-term number one ranking has made me lose my way.
He showed me the way forward again!
Renatus Bridge declares, "From today onwards, I have officially graduated from the Elite Training Camp. The Wilderness Zone is my true destination!"
Renatus Bridge's gaze was piercing, and an aura as powerful as an eagle swept over the crowd.
Suddenly, he unleashed an astonishing aura, which startled all the students and even the teachers present.
" Wargod, and a powerful one among the High-level War God!"
Unexpectedly, Renatus Bridge actually reached this level, graduating as High-level War God. Bridge's future is definitely not simple.
He might even become the Inspector of the Limits Dojo —a position many people dream of!
Chris, the Wargod of War, watched with envy. A student who had just graduated from the Elite Training Camp was already stronger than him, the teacher. Chris felt both proud and envious.
"Do you only care about high-ranking positions and generous salaries? Is our Elite Training Camp just for training a bunch of officials?" Yang Hui said disdainfully, his eyes filled with dissatisfaction towards Renatus Bridge.
Despite possessing physical abilities already at the High-level War God, far exceeding the graduation requirements, he's hiding in Training Camp nominally established for High-Level Warlord, vying for resources, all for the sake of high-ranking positions and generous salaries after graduation?
Does humanity's future truly depend on such "geniuses" to lead it?
Now that he was able to announce his graduation, leave the Elite Training Camp, and head to the Wilderness Zone, Yang Hui actually thought more highly of him.
Jiang Fang watched Zhang Junbao slowly walk out of the Challenge Room, her eyes filled with complex emotions. Although she was nominally Zhang Junbao's teacher, she hadn't found anyone who could truly guide Zhang Junbao during this time.
Instead, she used several opportunities to check her strength to have Zhang Junbao find loopholes in her cultivation.
Just after Renatus Bridge announced his graduation, Chu Qiang, accompanied by more than twenty people, also arrived at the Nine-Story Tower.
"It's Chu Qiang. What are all these people up to? Do they all want to compete against Zhang Junbao in real life after losing to him in the Virtual Challenge Room?"
"No, Zhang Junbao is only Intermediate Warlord in reality. Even if he is Spirit Reader, his Spiritual Force is two levels higher than his physical combat power, and he can contend with Beginner War God."
But how could I possibly win against the top 30 students, each with War God Level strength?
To everyone's surprise, Chu Qiang walked up to Zhang Junbao and stopped a little over a meter away from him.
" Junbao, thank you for waking us up! We've clearly reached the War God Level in terms of physical fitness and strength, so how can we have the audacity to hide in the Training Camp and enjoy the protection brought by our predecessors?"
Chu Qiang clasped his hands together and bowed to Zhang Junbao in respect, a gesture of gratitude traditionally used in ancient Huaxia to thank elders and powerful figures.
Behind Chu Qiang, the top thirty students also bowed to Zhang Junbao, who was learning from Chu Qiang.
For ordinary martial artists, the title of "Wargod" is already synonymous with absolute strength. They are no longer geniuses who need to be protected and nurtured, but rather strong individuals who should stand up and support the world.
Countless human soldiers, even those merely at the Warrior Level or not even Warrior Level, risked their lives to defend human territory on its borders. Having already possessed the strength of Wargod, how could they possibly take it for granted that they could hide in Training Camp and accept gifts from other humans?
Zhang Junbao did not back down and accepted their thanks with great generosity.
"This child is teachable!" Zhang Junbao said with a smile.
"Everyone, we thirty people are officially graduating from the Elite Training Camp today!"
Starting tomorrow, we will head to the front lines in the Wilderness Zone, join the battle between humans and monsters, and vow to defend every inch of human land and protect every human being.
No matter how many or how strong the monsters are, we will never back down! Humanity will never surrender!
After speaking, Chu Qiang and his group released their auras together, and even Renatus Bridge joined him. The sight of thirty Wargod releasing their auras together was so shocking that even the other students and teachers in the Elite Training Camp had never seen anything like it.
"Let's go to the Wilderness Zone, kill the lord, and become Wargod!"
