At the main entrance of the training camp.
Xu Feng got out of the car and looked at the giant Black Dragon carving as he walked. His attention was completely focused on the names on the Black Dragon's scales. It was easy to find his own name - "No. 17, Xu Feng."
"Ranked 17th," Xu Feng chuckled. Then, he walked towards Jiangnan Pavilion, where a group of young white men and women were staying, and spoke in fluent American English, "That Xu Feng is actually laughing." He continued, "Although he's 17th now, tomorrow is the 28th. He's not qualified to go out and hunt monsters. When the 91st ranked students return from hunting monsters tomorrow, Xu Feng's ranking will likely be pushed outside the top 20."
"Jason, you're making fun of others?" someone asked. "I remember when you first came, you were only ranked 174th your first month."
April 28th, 10 PM.
Beside the giant Black Dragon carving at the Elite Training Camp, many students were already sitting on the ground, joking and chatting. They had worked hard for nearly a month. They had done everything they could and fought as hard as they could. Now, they could only wait for the final results.
Inside a residential building about three kilometers outside the training camp.
"Hurry up, set up the equipment."
"Everyone, be quick! The boss gave you so much money to work here. Working here is practically a vacation. The only things the boss has us do, we must do them perfectly. Understand?"
A burly man with short, yellow hair roared, and the other five team members quickly began to set up their equipment.
"Understood."
"Captain, we're ready."
A leaderboard appeared on the giant screen on the wall of the room. It was the ranking from the Black Dragon carving.
"Excellent." The burly man with yellow hair nodded. "When the rankings freeze at midnight, we'll send the information to the boss immediately. Oh, and the boss wants us to pay special attention to Xu Feng from our Huaxia country."
"Understood."
The other five people responded with smiles.
It wasn't just this team. In Hongning Base City, especially near the Elite Training Camp, many intelligence personnel were watching the Black Dragon rankings. Every night at midnight, not only the students of the Elite Training Camp were focused on the rankings, but also many organizations around the world were watching.
Each of the organization has a series of intelligence data on every student on the list.
April 28th, 10:19 PM.
Nine Heavens Tower Trial Room.
The door to the trial room opened with a "click." Xu Feng, wearing a dark blue training suit, was lying on the sofa. He put on his helmet again and entered the virtual space. On another sofa, a black girl was also lying down. After only a minute or two, the black girl took off her helmet, opened her eyes, cursed a few times, and then left the trial room.
The Trial Tower can only allow one person in at a time, so each student goes in and out individually.
Trial Tower, third floor.
An endless desert, where fifty of the Golden Vultures emerged from the sand, surrounding Xu Feng.
"Today, I have an hour to play with you Golden Vultures," Xu Feng said, full of fighting spirit.
"Kill!"
The battle began instantly. The Trial Tower level assessment would end if one died, so after Xu Feng's failure yesterday, the assessment privilege had already ended.
However, besides the Trial Tower level assessment, as the 183rd ranked in July, Xu Feng had the training opportunities of a one-hour trial room and a one-hour Ancient Civilization Gravity Room.
Xu Feng's one-hour trial was at 10:20 PM on the 28th. Within this hour, Xu Feng could continue to try if he failed. Regardless of how many times he failed, he could start over. However, once the time was up, whether he failed or succeeded, he would be immediately kicked out of the virtual space.
"Kill!"
"Pfft~~~"
"Time used: 3 minutes and 6 seconds. Killed 50 low-level Beast General Level Golden Vultures. Passed the third layer, A-level stage. Congratulations, Xu Feng student."
The electronic voice echoed in the scorching desert. Light flashed, and all the Golden Vulture corpses on the desert disappeared. Xu Feng's stamina and body also returned to a perfect state.
Flying beast monsters, the Golden Vultures, known for their ferocity, are the weakest of their kind, all at the Beast General Level.
Trial Tower, third floor.
It was a wasteland.
"Third floor, phase B trial. Student Xu Feng, your objective is to kill 190 elementary Beast General Level Golden Vultures and ten intermediate Beast General Level Golden Vultures within thirty minutes. Good luck."
As the electronic voice finished, a swarm of flying beast monsters appeared in the sky above the wasteland.
"Here we go..."
The Golden Vultures dove from the sky, a dense flock of flying monsters that seemed like a golden cloud, enveloping Xu Feng. No wonder many War God instructors always gathered on the third floor.
Xu Feng had to, no matter what, at least defeat the phase B flying monster group and reach level 3.5. "I must succeed." Xu Feng held the Blood Shadow Battleblade, his eyes ice-cold. Boom! The flying beast swarm instantly engulfed Xu Feng, and the slaughter began.
In this third floor, C trial, Xu Feng didn't know how many times he had died under the siege of the Golden Vulture monster swarm. Flying beast monster groups were far more terrifying than land-based monster groups. Because once caught by the claws of a flying beast monster, they could lift humans directly into the air. With no place to gain leverage in mid-air, facing the monster group meant certain death. Therefore, he absolutely couldn't be caught by their claws.
"Caw!" A piercing cry echoed.
"Maybe, my agility will enter the realm of conception." Xu Feng held the Blood Shadow Battleblade, continuing...
It was past 10 PM, and a training camp vehicle stopped outside the main gate. Two fully armed students walked out, one of whom was Mo Qi. Today was the day he went out to hunt.
"Mo Qi."
The blonde beauty Luo Luoya went forward to greet her, smiling. "Congratulations on keeping first place."
"What rank is Xu Feng?"
Mo Qi and Luo Luoya walked side by side towards the Black Dragon carving.
"Look, he's ranked 18th, oh, 18 is already 18." Luo Luoya pointed at the huge Black Dragon carving. Mo Qi looked up at the Black Dragon rankings and nodded with a dismissive smile: "That yellow-skinned kid, to be honest, his strength is indeed not bad, but to break into the top 10 in the first month, that's just a dream."
"It should be the turn of us EU Countries to have a newcomer break into the top ten in the first month. Today is an even-numbered day, and Xu Feng is out hunting on an odd-numbered day. He really has no chance." Luo Luoya smiled.
Mo Qi also laughed heartily.
Suddenly— "It changed."
"Xu Feng's rank has gone up."
"That's strange. Today is the 28th. Xu Feng hasn't gone out hunting. How did his rank increase?"
Many of the watching students were shocked.
Mo Qi and Luo Luoya, the two blonde beauties, looked up and were also a bit stunned.
Xu Feng's ranking had actually jumped from 18th to 9th.
"It's the 28th. How could Xu Feng improve? Did someone bet against him, betting on points?"
Mo Qi looked as if she had seen a ghost. "Impossible."
"Impossible, how could he rise today!" Luo Luoya couldn't believe it either.
It wouldn't matter if they didn't believe it; that's just how it was. The truth was that Xu Feng had completed the second stage of the A level, and the Trial Tower level had increased from 22 to 23. Therefore, his ranking had made a small improvement.
Time ticked by, and the students were all discussing the rankings. Xu Feng's ranking was currently at ninth place.
10:56 AM.
"Damn!" "OMG!" "Oh my god."
All the students were dumbfounded.
Mo Qi and Luo Luoya also stared blankly at the newly refreshed rankings: No. 9 Xu Feng, 570,403 points. To jump from 18th to 9th was too exaggerated. For a moment, the nearly one hundred students gathered there were completely in an uproar. This ranking leap was too fast.
"Cheating!"
"It must be a bet. Xu Feng bet with someone else, and the stakes were points. Someone deliberately sent points to Xu Feng through betting!" A student immediately shouted. "Cheating!"
Some of the students couldn't believe it. Xu Feng's ranking in the wilderness area had risen so dramatically.
"Is he cheating? Xu Feng is in the Trial Tower right now," a voice spoke in English.
"He's in the Trial Tower, we saw him go in."
A few young men and women, both white and black, walked over from the direction of the Nine Heavens Tower. The originally noisy group of genius students immediately quieted down. In fact, only a very small number of people had shouted about cheating. Among the 180-plus geniuses, there were still a few students with strong feelings of jealousy.
"Xu Feng entered the Trial Tower at 10:23. I finished my trial, and then it was his turn."
"Rebecca, Xu Feng is after you," a young black man walked over.
"Yes," the black-haired girl nodded.
"So Xu Feng is in the Trial Tower. It seems like his Trial Tower level is rising."
The numerous students here all looked forward to it. After all, in history, there had been five genius students who had broken into the top 100 upon first arriving at the Elite Training Camp. However, the earliest instance was 23 years ago.
The most recent time was also eight years ago. It had been a long time since the Elite Training Camp had seen such a thing happen.
And this time, Xu Feng seemed poised to create a miracle.
