• Tian Qiong introduced himself to Zhang Junbao, said only one spot remained for the year, and headed to the Nine-Story Tower with his spear.

• Yang Hui explained how Trial Tower progress worked and said that Hong had reached the sixth floor, while no one had cleared the seventh.

Zhang Junbao entered the Trial Tower’s B-grade test, where he had to kill 100 Elementary Beast General Level Mangniu within 30 minutes. He used footwork and positioning to control the herd and began cutting through the charging beasts.

• Zhang Junbao chose a combat suit and longsword, then entered the Trial Tower after Yang Hui wished him success.
• The Trial Tower announced that Zhang Junbao had to kill 100 Mangniu within 30 minutes and gave him five minutes to prepare.

• Zhang Junbao evaded the first charge, used a Mangniu’s momentum to kill another with a sword thrust, and counted his first kill.
• Zhang Junbao used the Roaming Dragon Startled Swan Steps to keep the herd circling and limited the number of Mangniu that could attack him at once.

Yang Hui led him away to complete the formalities and warned him to focus on climbing the camp rankings despite the many people and organizations seeking to recruit him.

• Zhang Junbao chose 19 as his final codename digits and was added to the Black Dragon Sculpture ranking as NO181 Zhang Junbao (560619).

• Shi Jiang and Zhao Ruo told Zhang Junbao to read the Student Handbook and explained that monthly rankings depended on battle record points multiplied by Combat Power Amplitude.
• Shi Jiang said higher rankings granted better resources, including rewards valuable enough to keep some Wargods at the camp.

Zhang Junbao studied the Elite Training Camp’s handbook and learned how its rewards, rankings, and graduation rules worked. He decided to exploit the system’s loopholes, improve his physical fitness, and find a way to earn money from the wealthy trainees.

• Zhang Junbao realized trainees could remain for five years if they avoided official Wargod certification, letting a powerful trainee exploit the reward system.

• Chu Qiang offered Zhang Junbao ten billion a year in funding to join Huaxia's Military, but Zhang Junbao declined while promising to consider the Military first if he joined an organization.

• Zhang Junbao recognized William's confidence and saw him as a rich target worth exploiting.

Zhang Junbao let William and Candace believe he was a poor newcomer who could be lured into a losing wager, then proposed staking Candace’s treasured SS-grade sword on a fight with William. The chapter left him asking the Huaxia trainees to lend him money as he waited to see whether Candace would accept.

• Zhao Ruo warned Zhang Junbao that William preyed on newcomers through wagered fights, but William tried to goad Zhang Junbao into accepting.
• Zhang Junbao held Zhao Ruo back and pretended he was too poor to afford a combat suit or weapon, then suggested Candace’s sword as the wager.
• Candace boasted that his family’s treasured SS-grade sword was worth more than thirty billion Huaxia Currency and challenged Zhang Junbao to produce that amount.
• Zhang Junbao acted shocked by the sword’s price and asked Candace whether he would stake it if Zhang Junbao could gather thirty billion.
• Zhang Junbao asked Zhao Ruo and the other Huaxia trainees to lend him a billion each, promising to repay them with interest, while secretly hoping Candace would take the bait.

Zhang Junbao borrowed money from fellow Huaxia trainees to back his thirty-billion wager against William, whom he would fight without Spiritual Force in the Challenge Room. Shi Jiang and Zhao Ruo helped him raise the funds, and Zhang Junbao remained confident because his Combat Power Amplitude exceeded William's.

• Zhang Junbao ignored Zhao Ruo's calls and sought loans so he could share the risk of wagering thirty billion against Candace's treasured sword.
• William accepted Zhang Junbao's challenge for the next morning in the Challenge Room, while Candace and the European trainees expected William to win.

• Zhang Junbao explained that William's intermediate amplitude was no match for his own advanced-level strength, which he had kept secret.
• Shi Jiang offered three billion and Zhao Ruo offered one billion, while other Huaxia trainees lent Zhang Junbao enough to reach his target; he ended up twelve billion in debt.

• Zhang Junbao accepted William’s challenge but ignored the wager transfer deadline and went to rest.
• William, Candace, and their companions assumed Zhang Junbao could not raise the money and planned to mock him.
• Zhang Junbao arrived at the Challenge Room with Shi Jiang and Zhao Ruo, claimed Huaxia trainees had lent him more than enough, and transferred 40 billion Huaxia Currency into the wager account.
• Candace proposed fighting Zhang Junbao himself, but Shi Jiang challenged Candace and denounced the group for bullying newcomers.
• After a Wargod instructor urged them to stop wasting the reserved Challenge Room time, Candace agreed to add another ten billion and take the bet.
• William returned from speaking privately with Candace, furious and glaring at Zhang Junbao.
