Chapter 42 - Chapter 42. July

On July 1st, Wong is signed a contract and the news was swiftly disseminated by the extreme martial arts hall. Every faction was aware that the prodigious newcomer Wong he had been recruited by the Extreme Martial Arts Hall, destined to become a core figure within its ranks. Just a few months prior in April, Wong, he had been an ordinary student yet to take his college entrance examinations. The velocity of his astounding rise was nothing short of breathtaking. The significance placed upon Wong he by various factions escalated once more. July 2nd was an even number day designated for Wong to venture out into the training camp to hunt monsters. Hundreds of kilometers from the training camp laid an abandoned city codeamed 1. A flash of light akin to a bolt of lightning pierced through the head of an advanced beast general monster Agmas. exiting through the back of its skull with a splatter of crimson and white. The towering beast, reminiscent of mouse, yet standing two stories tall, swayed before crashing to the ground, raising a cloud of dust. Amidst the ruins of a dilapitated commercial building, Wong emerged slowly. Whoosh! A flying knife gracefully returned to the hidden pouch on his thigh while two battle blades were sheathed on his back. He approached the lifeless monster Escarcus, setting down his bulging combat backpack to begin collecting materials. The positions on the elite training camp's black dragon leaderboard were determined by points, calculated by multiplying battle achievement points by combat power amplitude. Battle achievement points were contingent upon the level of monsters slaying. The higher the monsters level, the greater the points awarded. However, students could only hunt at designated locations within the training camp and typically avoided slaying lord level monsters as killing more than two would deem them as demagogs resulting in premature graduation from the training camp. Hence, students generally opted to hunt beast general level monsters. Given Wong Yi's current prowess, dispatching these creatures was effortless. The efficiency of mental energy users in hunting surpassed that of their martial artist counterparts by more than 10fold. monsters that encountered Wong, he found themselves unable to escape. His strength rendered him the foremost individual within the entire training camp. And coupled with his identity as a mental energy user, he amassed battle achievement points at an astonishing rate. Odd number days were reserved for training and cultivation within the camp, while even number days were spent honing his skills in the wilderness. Evenings were dedicated to conversing with family and friends, leading to a tranquil passage of time. The ancient civilization gravity chamber within the training camp was the sole one he had visited and during the first month he was granted only an hour of training time there. He had frequented the far more numerous earth imitated gravity chambers. Wongi's physical condition continued to improve consistently. His days in the training camp comprised of studying, cultivating, hunting monsters, and resting. Though monotonous, they filled him with a sense of fulfillment. Even within the camp, he could still connect with family and friends online daily, sparing him from loneliness. Wong Ew awaited the opportune moment. His rank on the Black Dragon leaderboard was ascending rapidly. By midmon, due to his efficient accumulation of battle achievement points and his already substantial combat power amplitude, his rankings surged into the top 20. The momentum of his ascent showed no signs of abating, sending ripples through the entire training camp. While others diligently hunted monsters, it was evident to discerning eyes that their rate of point accumulation could not match Wong Yi. Having already become a prominent figure in the elite training camp, Wongi bass in the limelight. However, for him, this was not a matter of great astonishment. Although his combat power amplitude lag slightly behind that of the camp's top tier students due to his lower exertion level, his hunting efficiency as a peak advanced demagod mental energy user allowed him to rapidly accumulate points, bridging that gap. The black dragon leaderboard was merely a number. What truly captured Wong Yi's attention was the impending life or death adventure on August 1st in the Australian continent. This land held the enigmatic Mist Island, which Wongi regarded with utmost significance. The momentous day arrived. On the final day of July, Wong Yi's position on the Black Dragon leaderboard solidified at fifth. Although this outcome had been anticipated, the reality of his ascent to fifth place within the first month still astonished countless individuals. The world once again stirred as Wong Yi's name reverberated through the currents of time. Numerous organizations are tirelessly delving into the background of Wong e seeking to uncover his secrets. Speculation has arisen that Wong Yi's astonishing speed in slaying monsters might indicate he possesses the abilities of a psychic warrior. It is inconceivable that he could surpass the most elite veterans of the training camps within such a short span, achieving an unprecedented fifth place on the Black Dragon rankings within just one month. The elite training camp recognized as the foremost training institution globally does have psychic warriors. Yet none can match the terrifying kill count of Wong E. Consequently, many have deduced that Wong Yi's physical prowess and psychic abilities must be extraordinarily high. He is undoubtedly at the level of a war god, perhaps even an advanced one. Wongi remains unconcerned about the external speculations and rumors, for he has already attained sufficient strength for self-p protection. With the formidable support of the extreme martial arts school, he is not worried about other factions causing trouble. The only vexation lies in his repeated requests in July to seek guidance from the school master Hong which have all been dismissed on the grounds that the master is in seclusion. Wong he is left await confident that he will receive a response once the master emerges is not just Hong. Even Thor has treated him similarly. Wongi cannot help but marvel at how these two martial arts zealots renowned as the strongest on Earth have earned their formidable strength through such relentless training. He feels compelled to intensify his own efforts. Perhaps he should seek out location to check in. On August 1st, at the break of dawn, 193 students gathered on a grassy expanse before the nine-tiered tower. The number of participants fluctuates due to casualties in monster hunts or graduations, so students often gather in small clusters to converse. All are fully armed, carrying backpacks and weapons. For today marks the commencement of their perilous adventure. Wani too is among them. Clad in a gray black SS level combat suit with a reddish hue provided by the extreme martial arts school. He has placed two SS level flame war kn eyes on the ground beside him along with his combat backpack and 16 SS level throwing knives stowed in his concealed weapon pouch. As he chats with fellow students he has befriended during the month. Wong, shall we join forces on the Australian continent? Sure. Jang inquires. The news of Wong E being a psychic warrior has spread like wildfire within the training camp. And since Wongi shows no inclination to clarify, everyone is now aware of his true identity. The expedition in Australia will last a month fraught with danger. And students naturally prefer to team up with a powerful companion for safety. This is a common practice among the majority of students during their time in Australia. As only a select few elite students can venture out alone. Apologies, Senior Sher Jang, but I prefer to operate solo. This is not the first time someone has sought to team up with Wong. He yet he remains resolute in his refusal. His purpose for going to the Australian continent is to find Mist Island. It would be counterproductive to join forces with these training camp students. After all, the pursuit of wealth is best undertaken alone.
