"Beep, 27 minutes and 39 seconds, all monsters defeated, first level cleared. Do you wish to proceed to the next level?"

Zhang Junbao only came to his senses when the electronic sound rang out and all the carcasses of the Mangniu disappeared.

This kind of planned, training-style combat did indeed help improve his fighting ability. Wild martial artists either practice alone or find weaker groups of monsters to train with; they almost never have this kind of specially designed monster for special training.

However, this doesn't mean that the more special training the better.

For martial artists, both special training and actual combat are absolutely indispensable.

Specialized training aims to standardize one's training methods, provide time for reflection and instruction, and prevent basic mistakes. It also allows for pre-planning of one's combat strategies and targeted practice.

Real combat is about putting the results of special training into practice in actual battles. In actual battles against monsters or humans, there is no ideal environment like the Trial Room. All sorts of unexpected events are the truth of real combat.

Making good use of unexpected situations and turning passivity into initiative is what a true strong person must do.

Training is good, but it can never replace real combat.

However, real-world combat without training and opportunities for reflection is simply wasting potential.

One of the reasons Zhang Junbao sent all the War God Level trainees out of the Elite Training Camp was that he noticed the strong traces of the Training Camp Training Camp on the trainees.

Although they can go crazy in battle, this kind of madness is completely different from the madness of fighting monsters in the wilderness for a long time.

Bloodthirst, murderous intent, perseverance, dreams— Zhang Junbao saw almost none of these qualities in the Training Camp. Perhaps they once possessed them, but the "mild" environment of the Training Camp had gradually eroded them.

The ridiculous system of one day hunting monsters and one day training has reduced the warriors' fighting spirit to the Extreme Point.

When you're actually fighting monsters in the Wilderness Zone, are you really going to tell them, "It's getting dark, I need to go home to train, don't follow me, let me go back?"

What a joke!

Without the pressure of survival, the fear of being surrounded by monsters, or the threat of death, do they really think that splattering a couple of drops of blood on their face makes them a qualified martial artist?

At this moment, Zhang Junbao was teleported to the next level, and his Trial Tower level was also increased to 20.

Outside the Trial Tower, several students who had just finished their trials were about to check their rankings when they unexpectedly discovered what was happening.

"Look, Zhang Junbao's ranking is rising!" an African student exclaimed.

"What's so strange about that? He even beat the number one ranked person, isn't it normal for his ranking to rise?" another white student said, gesturing with his chin.

"What a joke! He was just gambling before, so it didn't affect his ranking. But now his ranking has changed, and today isn't a day for hunting monsters, which means he's entered the Trial Tower assessment!"

The environments in the Trial Tower and the Challenge Room are similar, and the physical abilities of warriors entering them are at the level of Junior War General.

"The man who could defeat all the geniuses in the Elite Training Camp in the Challenge Room, what kind of results will he achieve in the Trial Tower? Isn't that something to watch closely?"

After the African students explained, the white students finally understood.

"That's right. Although Zhang Junbao nominally defeated everyone in the top 100, according to the rules, his score is actually still at the bottom."

The reason is that he did not take the Trial Tower assessment, and his current score is still the score he had when he first entered the Training Camp a month ago.

Oh my god, we have another chance to witness a miracle! Quick, tell the others!

The two quickly took out their communicators and dialed their respective friends.

Soon, a large crowd gathered again in front of the Trial Room.

"It's changed! Zhang Junbao's ranking has changed!" the African student exclaimed.

Originally, Zhang Junbao's ranking was close to the top 100 because he had accumulated a lot of points from hunting monsters. Now, Zhang Junbao's ranking is rising rapidly.

"From 108th to 79th!"

"My God, did he pass the first level of the Trial Tower?"

"What's so strange about that? He was able to defeat Renatus Bridge and Chu Qiang in the Virtual Challenge Room, which proves that his power and Trial Tower level are likely to surpass those two."

Renatus Bridge is a terrifying figure who has reached the fourth level. I think Zhang Junbao can at least reach the Second Order of the fourth level!

An America student analyzed the situation with a nod of his head, and the other students nodded in agreement.

No one expected Zhang Junbao, who had cleared the top 100 of the Elite Training Camp, to be stuck on the first few floors of the Trial Tower. The key now is to see how far he can get.

Jiang Fang, who was about to head to the Trial Tower to check on her "students'" performance, suddenly received a phone call.

"Who would call me at this time?" Jiang Fang wondered, but she still walked barefoot out of the training hall and picked up her phone from the corner.

Upon seeing the name displayed on her phone, Jiang Fang's expression changed, and her attitude immediately became much more serious.

" Inspector Wang!"

" Jiang Fang, go and tell your disciple Zhang Junbao to bring him here." A slightly hoarse voice came from the phone.

"Yes!" Jiang Fang replied quickly.

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Fang couldn't suppress her smile, "The higher-ups seem a bit slow to react. I wonder if Zhang Junbao will give the Inspector a big surprise."

The summons was exactly what Jiang Fang had anticipated. If someone with Zhang Junbao's achievements couldn't get a summons, then no one in the Training Camp could.

Jiang Fang changed her clothes and headed straight for the Trial Room. She already knew that Zhang Junbao was in the Trial Room at this time, and she could also see what kind of results he had achieved and give the Inspector a surprise.

When Jiang Fang arrived at the Nine-Story Tower, she found it already packed with people. Most of the trainees in the Training Camp had gathered outside the Nine-Story Tower's Trial Room to witness this historic moment.

"What's going on here?" Jiang Fang asked, noticing Zhao Ruo, who was also watching the show.

"Teacher Jiang Fang, you're here too!"

Junbao is undergoing trials inside. He reached the top ranking a long time ago, but for some reason, he still hasn't come out.

Has his trial never ended?

Zhao Ruo was puzzled. Just over two hours ago, Zhang Junbao's ranking in the Training Camp had risen rapidly, eventually surpassing Candace to become number one in the Training Camp.

However, almost an hour has passed since he became number one, but the Trial Tower shows that Zhang Junbao is still undergoing the trial and has not stopped.

This is somewhat beyond everyone's comprehension.

Having all participated in the trials, they naturally understood that each level of the Trial Tower had a time limit, so there was no possibility of dragging out the time to complete the task.

You either complete the task and choose to continue the trial, or you are judged to have failed the task and are kicked out of the Trial Space when the time runs out.

However, even the trainees in the Training Camp had never seen anyone stay in the Trial Tower for so long as Zhang Junbao.

"It's not over yet?" Jiang Fang asked, her face full of doubt.

"Each level of the Trial Tower has a maximum trial time of one hour. Zhang Junbao's ability to reach the top ranking means he has at least reached the fourth level!"

After saying that, Jiang Fang herself was stunned for a moment. The fourth level—this level had already surpassed her, the so-called teacher.

Yang Hui's Trial Tower level is 32, Jiang Fang is better than him, but she hasn't reached the fourth level yet.

Although this was a fact she already knew, Jiang Fang still felt somewhat disappointed. It was so rare to have such a talented student, but it seemed to have nothing to do with her, the teacher.

"Buzz"

Just then, the Trial Tower emitted a roar, as if the entire Trial Tower had awakened a giant beast.

What happened?

A group of people looked around, trying to see what had happened.

Congratulations to student Zhang Junbao for passing the Trial Tower!
