Morning, July 26th
"Mirrors, ripples…"
"Ninefold Thunderblade, force application." Xu Feng frowned slightly.
"Mirrors, mirrors…" Xu Feng's expression was a bit dazed.
"Mirrors!" Xu Feng's face lit up with joy.
No wonder Luo Feng could comprehend the fourth level of the Ninefold Thunderblade from the water.
The instant a water droplet created ripples…
It was very similar to when he had comprehended the second level of the Ninefold Thunderblade.
"Water droplets, creating ripples… the important thing isn't the ripples, nor the water droplets, but the mirror, the surface of the water that's like a mirror." Xu Feng mused. "Only when that water surface is even more still, still without a single ripple. Then, when a water droplet falls, the ripples will be even clearer." The application of force with his fists was the same. The focus isn't on those hidden bursts of force.
Instead, the internal force transmission would pass through the entire body's tendons, bones, and muscles.
Xu Feng, who already had a significantly improved level of power control compared to before, directly comprehended the fourth level, "Fourth Level."
"Now that I've comprehended the fourth level, my fist force output has reached 3.5," Xu Feng's eyes shone.
"As long as my Trial Tower ranking reaches .5, my battle power amplitude will exceed 12."
Of course, the main reason for Xu Feng's breakthrough was that he had already cultivated the Ninefold Thunderblade to the third level before coming to the training camp. With daily hard work in the training camp, without the slightest relaxation, he became more and more precise in controlling his power, and his foundation became increasingly solid. Even without this moment of inspiration, with another three to five months, Xu Feng could naturally reach the fourth level. However, being able to do it three to five months earlier was also a great thing.
According to the contract with the Limit Martial Arts Academy, as long as his battle power amplitude reached 12 before August 1st, he would be able to obtain an A-Class Combat Suit, a full set of weapons, any set of complete secret manuals, a portion of Dragon Blood worth 800 billion, and a Black God Suit. This was a huge reward.
Leaving aside the Dragon Blood worth 800 billion, just the secret manuals alone... Xu Feng would definitely choose a complete set of Ninefold Thunderblade manuals. The price of a complete set of Ninefold Thunderblade manuals was 100 billion, and even at half price, it would be 50 billion. Furthermore, the requirement for half price was four-star contribution points. Four stars! When would Xu Feng ever achieve that? But now, he could obtain such a set of manuals for free. "A set of manuals, plus Dragon Blood, plus a Combat Suit and weapons. Even at half price, it would definitely exceed 100 billion... If I had to buy it, when could I afford it?" "I have two more Trial Tower trials this month," Xu Feng thought to himself, "and my battle power amplitude will exceed 12."
Xu Feng ranked 85th!
Although he hadn't cleared the Trial Tower once, with the advantage of being a Spiritualist, Xu Feng's score wasn't much worse than the other students who had cleared it!
As long as his force exertion level reached 3.5, he'd surpass the number one on the Black Dragon Ranking: Moqide Lufei.
To rank first in the Elite Training Camp within the first month… it couldn't be said that others would follow at half price, but it was definitely unprecedented.
11:50 AM.
Xu Feng, dressed in casual clothes, strolled out of Jiangnan Pavilion. Zhao Ruo happened to be returning from outside and smiled, "Xu Feng, let's go eat lunch."
"I already ate," Xu Feng replied with a smile.
"I just checked the Black Dragon Ranking. You're actually ranked 85th! Little brother, you're amazing. Your elder sister here barely made it into the top 100," Zhao Ruo teased. Xu Feng grinned, "Sister, you need to be careful. My goal is to break into the top three in the short term."
"Short term? Two months? Three months?" Zhao Ruo raised an eyebrow.
"I'll talk to you later, I need to go," Xu Feng didn't say much.
No one in the training camp knew that he hadn't cleared the Trial Tower.
After saying that, Xu Feng walked towards the Ninefold Tower.
Along the way, quite a few trainees greeted Xu Feng. They respected the strong, and Xu Feng had managed to reach 85th place in the rankings within his first month at the training camp. Although the point rankings wouldn't be finalized until midnight on the 28th, Xu Feng's strength was already apparent.
At just 18 years old, he was already this formidable.
What about the future?
Therefore, many of these trainees, from South America, North America, Europe, Africa, and other places, had a good relationship with Xu Feng.
In the Trial Tower, twelve white trainees had just finished their training in the Trial Tower and the Gravity Room, and were sparring.
"Hey, Xu Feng, why are you here at noon?" one of the white trainees, who spoke Mandarin, called out. The other eleven white trainees didn't speak Mandarin. The proportion of American trainees who understood Mandarin was relatively small, even though Mandarin was now widely spoken around the world.
"I have something to do," Xu Feng said with a smile, and walked towards the training room. The training room scanned Xu Feng, confirming his identity.
Click.
The door to the Trial Room unlocked automatically, and Xu Feng gently pushed it open and entered.
"How can he possibly enter the Trial Room after 12?"
"Impossible to enter the Trial Room." These twelve white men spoke in fluent British English, their hometown dialect.
"Ah, Xu Feng is a new student. This July is his first month here. New students have the privilege of a Trial Tower level assessment during their first month."
"Could it be that he hasn't had his Trial Tower level assessment yet? It's the 26th already."
"He definitely hasn't been assessed. Otherwise, students wouldn't be able to enter the Trial Room between 12 PM and 1 PM."
"Good heavens, he hasn't been assessed in the Trial Tower, yet he's already climbed to above 85 on the Black Dragon Ranking. After the assessment, how high will he climb? Could he be in the top eighty?"
"A new student in the top 80 in their first month?"
"Quick, let's go to the Black Dragon Ranking. The rankings will definitely be refreshed soon."
"Quick, go!"
"To the Black Dragon carving."
The six Black students chattered excitedly, each one shocked. They quickly went down the stairs and rushed towards the Black Dragon carving at the main entrance of the training camp. They knew that in the training camp, it was almost impossible for new recruits to break into the top 100 in their first month. Those who could create such a miracle were all incredibly talented.
Could it be... Is someone going to appear, breaking into the top 80 right after entering the training camp?
In the trial room, Xu Feng turned on the lights.
Xu Feng lay on the sofa, picking up the Ethereal Blue Helmet. Under the light, this consciousness sensor helmet reflected a dazzling ethereal blue light.
"The further I go, the better," Xu Feng murmured, kissing the helmet. Then, he put it on, and whoosh...
On the boundless silver earth, the sky was an endless starry universe.
The only building was the seven-story Trial Tower, which seemed to pierce the sky.
Xu Feng arrived at the main entrance of the Trial Tower, just as he'd hoped. On the left pillar of the tower, information about him was displayed.
"Name: Xu Feng, Gender: Male, Status: Official Elite Training Camp Student, Trial Tower Level: 1"
Xu Feng smiled. Prompted by a virtual space notification, he quickly changed into his Combat Suit, and equipped his weapons and shield. Then, he stepped directly into the Trial Tower.
Xu Feng materialized onto a vast, desolate grassland.
"The electronic voice echoed throughout the grassland, 'The A-Class test is to kill 100 Elementary Beast General Level Moo Bulls within 30 minutes. If you die midway, you fail. If you haven't killed 100 Moo Bulls after 30 minutes, you also fail. This is your first time entering the Trial Tower, you have a five-minute preparation period.'"
"The electronic voice echoed throughout the grassland, 'The B-Class test is to kill 100 Elementary Beast General Level Moo Bulls within 30 minutes.'"
The first two tests were easily passed in just 10 minutes, without exception. Xu Feng's Trial Tower level also became 1.6.
"Xu Feng." The electronic voice echoed throughout the grassland, "You have completed the first level, B-stage trial. The next step is the C-stage trial. The objective is to kill 200 Moo Bulls within 50 minutes. Among these Moo Bull monsters, there are 190 Elementary Beast General Levels and 10 Intermediate Beast Generals. Good luck."
Xu Feng's eyes narrowed, his gaze sharp as a blade.
Having spent nearly a month in the training camp, Xu Feng was very clear about what to expect at each stage of the Trial Tower. The B-stage involved 100 Elementary Beast General Moo Bulls, but this time, there were 200, including 10 Intermediate Beast Generals. And he was only at the Elementary Warlord Level.
He had to eliminate them all within 50 minutes to succeed. "Hu~" Instantly, two hundred Moo Bulls appeared on the grassland, including several giant Moo Bulls with fiery red horns.
"Array~~"
The ground trembled violently. Leading the charge were ten Moo Bulls of the Beast General Level. This herd of bulls resembled a roaring wave, crashing towards Xu Feng. With his physical condition, a single direct hit would likely knock him out, leaving him to be trampled into a bloody pulp. He couldn't afford a single mistake.
"Come on," Xu Feng grinned, a Hexagonal Shield in one hand and a Blood Shadow Battleblade in the other, charging forward. When Xu Feng was taking the Trial Tower level assessment, many other trainees knew about it thanks to the six white students. This Chinese student, who had just entered the training camp, was already ranked 85th on the Black Dragon Ranking, and hadn't even taken the Trial Tower level assessment.
He was only starting the assessment today, yet he was already ranked 85th. After the assessment, would he break into the top fifty?
Immediately, many trainees who were eating quickly finished their meals and rushed towards the giant black dragon sculpture at the main entrance of the training camp. They all kept their eyes on the changes in the Black Dragon Ranking on the sculpture. In fact, this ranking changed almost constantly until midnight on the 28th, when it would stop updating.
Meanwhile, in the 1001st city of the Wilderness Zone, on the top floor of a dilapidated three-story villa.
Moqide Lufei, wearing a black Combat Suit, was sitting alone on the floor, holding a water pouch and replenishing her fluids. Although she was ranked first in the Elite Training Camp, Moqide hadn't relaxed her standards.
"One's own strength is the most fundamental. The rest is just fluff," Moqide took a small sip of water. "Today is the 26th, and there are only two days left until the end of this month's ranking. It seems I'll be ranked first this time, no problem."
"Hmm," Moqide looked at the communication watch on her wrist.
"It's Luo Luoyasuo's call."
"Call Back"
Moqide issued the command, and the call quickly connected.
"Moqide, you're calling me while I'm in the Wilderness Zone? Are you missing me?" Moqide teased.
"Moqide, a kid named Xu Feng just took the Trial Tower level assessment today," Luo Luoyasuo's voice came from the communication watch.
"He took the Trial Tower level assessment? What does that have to do with us?" Moqide's expression changed as soon as she finished speaking. "What did you say? He just took the Trial Tower level assessment today? Hasn't he taken the assessment for the past 26 days? If he hasn't been assessed, how could he get to the 85th spot? That's impossible! Impossible!"
Moqide refused to believe Xu Feng was that strong.
"I don't want to believe it either, but my sister, I have to tell you, that's the truth. This Xu Feng is currently taking the assessment in the Trial Room. And right now, dozens of students are watching the Black Dragon Ranking here at the training camp, waiting for the rankings to refresh. Even quite a few of the training camp instructors have come over," Luo Luoyasuo's English was fluent and spoken at a rapid pace. "If this Xu Feng can really break into the top 85 in his first month at the training camp, that would be incredible."
"I don't believe it."
"I absolutely don't believe he can break into the top 50."
"I don't want to believe it either, but you'd know if you were in the training camp right now." Luo Luoyasuo said. "Keep an eye on the Black Dragon carving, don't hang up the phone, and notify me the instant it refreshes."
Moqide Lufei replied, "Okay."
