A Revelation!

Only by completing the Six Martial Artist Refinements can one lay the foundation to step into Grandmaster.

Martial Artists, from First-grade to Third-grade, temper the physical foundation and elevate blood and qi.

Starting from Fourth-grade, one can begin the Six Martial Artist Refinements to achieve Mortal Transcendence.

Each completed Refinement brings a significant leap in strength.

This is an all-around enhancement.

Of course, some Martial Artists merely focus on boosting their blood and qi and combat power, without ever completing the Six Martial Artist Refinements.

Such people are actually the majority.

The Six Martial Artist Refinements are inhuman in their difficulty!

Many cannot endure the pain they bring.

Moreover, once you fail, your blood and qi and combat power will plummet severely.

This forces you to start cultivating again from scratch.

Blood and qi and combat power become harder to raise the further you go.

Starting over, cultivating again—not everyone can manage it.

Therefore, many Martial Artists with insufficient talent or lacking opportunities simply give up.

But once you complete even a single Refinement, your strength surpasses those without any Refinements, even making you invincible at the same cultivation level!

For this reason, many Martial Artists still risk the danger of regression to desperately attempt it.

In this process, if you have abundant resources and guidance from seniors experienced in the Refinements, your chances of completing them naturally increase.

And the Martial Artist Elite Camp offers such opportunities.

This immediately piqued Lin Mo's interest.

If it were just about raising blood and qi and combat power, Lin Mo wouldn't have cared much.

Besides, Wang Xiao had just mentioned that within this Elite Camp, there was also a chance to obtain Earth Grade Martial Skills.

These were treasures—if he acquired one, with the system's enhancement, couldn't he evolve it into at least a Heaven Grade Martial Skill?

Heaven Grade—the entire Huaxia seemed to have only two, owned by the two legendary supreme Martial Artists of Huaxia.

If he had one too, how impressive would that be?

"Lin Mo, now that you're heading to the Martial Alliance Elite Camp, you need to bring some honor to our Southern Province," Lu Li said, looking in an exceptionally good mood as he spoke cheerfully to Lin Mo.

"Commander Lord, I will do my utmost."

"Good, good, good. As long as you can rank in the top 1,000 of the Elite Camp assessment, I will definitely petition upward for an additional heavy reward." Lu Li said three 'goods' in a row, his face full of satisfaction.

But hearing this, Lin Mo's heart skipped a beat.

"Top 1,000? With the combat power I've shown publicly, I can't even break into the top 1,000?" Lin Mo couldn't help but be surprised.

"Are the people in this Elite Camp that strong?" Lin Mo looked at the screen and asked Lu Li.

"Of course, geniuses and prodigies are not rare. Think about it—what's the population base of Huaxia alone? Over five billion. Out of more than five billion, is it too many to have 1,000 geniuses? Even if there were 10,000, what percentage would that be? And among them are countless Martial Artist families. A large family with abundant resources raising a few to a dozen outstanding geniuses a year isn't too much, right? How many such large families are there in Huaxia? Too many to count. Not to mention the whole of Huaxia—just our Southern Province alone has 1,000 slots for entering the Elite Camp each time."

"Hiss!"

Hearing this, Lin Mo couldn't help but draw in a sharp breath.

One Southern Province alone had 1,000, and the entire Huaxia had 23 provinces. That would be 23,000 people, wouldn't it? There might even be some extra slots. By that calculation, there were quite a lot of people. Ranking in the top 1,000 out of fewer than 30,000 was indeed quite challenging.

"Of course, you don't need to worry too much. With your current data, as long as you work hard enough in there, you still have a good chance of making it into the top 1,000."

Seeing Lin Mo's silence, Lu Li spoke again.

"What are the standards for entering the Elite Camp?" Lin Mo thought for a moment and asked again.

"Standards? Eighteen years old, an Awakened, and reaching Third-grade Martial Artist."

Hearing Lu Li's words, Lin Mo frowned.

This once again broadened his horizons.

He had thought Awakened were rare, but looking at this, they weren't few at all.

The Huaxia Martial Alliance's Elite Camp alone had over twenty thousand Awakened appearing at once.

Wasn't it said that Awakened were one in ten thousand? This was way too many?

"Heh, Lin Mo, are you wondering why there are so many Awakened?"

As if seeing through Lin Mo's confusion, Lu Li said with a smile.

Lin Mo looked at him and nodded.

"The Awakened here aren't all naturally awakened; most are later-stage awakenings.

Strictly speaking, they became Awakened through special means.

For example, Companion Beads obtained from hunting in the wild.

Or swallowing some rare Rare Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

These can all make one an Acquired Awakening.

Truly Natural Awakenings are extremely, extremely rare.

However, under normal circumstances, the abilities of a Natural Awakening are stronger than those of an Acquired Awakening.

Take you, for instance. With the same Lightning ability, you're naturally awakened, so you're stronger than those Acquired Awakening Lightning users.

So you still have a significant advantage."

Hearing this, Lin Mo felt a bit embarrassed.

He wasn't what Lu Li thought; he too belonged to the Acquired Awakening category.

It was entirely because he swallowed the Thunder Bead that he gained the Lightning ability.

The reason Lu Li and the others misunderstood was that only Natural Awakenings suddenly see a massive increase in blood qi and combat power.

Acquired Awakenings only gain special abilities; their blood qi and combat power don't suddenly surge.

Lin Mo didn't bother to say anything about this.

If they wanted to misunderstand, let them. It saved him from having to explain why his combat power and blood qi had suddenly skyrocketed.

However, as for the claim that Acquired Awakenings' abilities are weaker than Natural Awakenings', Lin Mo wasn't convinced.

With his system, he believed such a gap shouldn't exist for him.

Still, thinking that there were so many prodigies among his peers, Lin Mo was somewhat shocked.

"Lin Mo, this is your Camp Entry Certificate and contract. Take a look."

At that moment, Wang Xiao had brought over the re-tailored contract and Camp Entry Certificate.

Lin Mo took them, glanced over them, and couldn't help but widen his eyes.

"The entire training lasts three years? Break through to Seventh-grade, or pass a designated assessment, and you graduate.

Upon graduation, you receive the Elite Camp's Graduation Medal and also a graduation certificate from the Military Martial University?

After graduation, if you choose to join the Military Department, you can directly obtain a Major Rank!

If you choose to return to a Base City, you can directly serve as City Lord.

Of course, you can also freely choose your future path.

But no matter what you choose, the Huaxia Martial Alliance will give an additional Monthly 10 Million Subsidy every year.

The only requirement is that when the nation is in trouble, you must answer the call!"

"So, joining this means I don't even need to attend a martial university?"

"Exactly! Everything a martial university can teach, you'll learn inside. What a martial university can't teach, you'll also learn inside."

Wang Xiao smiled lightly as he looked at Lin Mo.

"Oh? That's not bad! But what's that designated assessment?"

"That, once you enter the Elite Camp, you'll naturally find out." Wang Xiao laughed heartily, not directly answering.

"Uh, alright then." Lin Mo looked over the contract again, found no issues, and directly signed and fingerprinted it.

"Alright, then I wish you all the best and great results in the Elite Camp. See you tomorrow."

Lu Li, seeing that Lin Mo had completed the procedures, greeted him and ended the video call.

"Lin Mo, keep it up. You're the pride of our Jiangcheng No. 2 High School. I'll be waiting for your good news!

Also, the school will give you a reward of 5 million."

"Before you leave tomorrow morning, I'll have your homeroom teacher deliver it."

Yang Ziqing laughed heartily as he said his goodbyes and hung up the phone.

"Five million? Heh, an unexpected windfall."

Lin Mo chuckled, exchanged a few more words with Wang Xiao, then took his leave and headed home.

He had experienced too much today, and he was exhausted.

Once home, he washed up, lay down on the bed, and reviewed everything that had happened today once more.

"Tomorrow is a new beginning!"

If you can't find the book by its title, try searching by the author—maybe it's just been renamed!
