, Trial Tower

The nine-story building has nine floors, and the hall is spacious.

When Jiang Ming arrived here with Zhao Fang, there were already more than ten training camp participants from all over the world talking and waiting in the hall.

Upon seeing the new faces, many people cast scrutinizing glances at them.

"New here?"

"Chinese? There are quite a few talented people in China lately."

"I don't know how long I can hold on."

Whispers rose from the crowd, carried in various accents of different languages.

In the elite training camp, the addition of each new member means a potential reshuffling of rankings and a redistribution of resources.

Zhao Fang ignored the comments and led Jiang Ming directly to a passageway at the far end of the hall. On either side of the passageway were tightly closed metal doors, each marked with a number.

"This is the training room."

Zhao Fang explained in a low voice.

"Each room is equipped with virtual reality equipment. Every new participant needs to take a test here."

"But you don't need to worry about the test results affecting you. You're already a member of the elite training camp. This test is just to get you started."

He stopped in front of a door marked with a '7' and pressed the palm print recognition button.

The door slid open silently, revealing a slightly dimly lit room inside.

The room was small, about 20 square meters, with two leather sofas in the center, and a dark blue helmet on each sofa.

"Virtual space consciousness sensor".

Zhao Fang pointed to the helmet.

"Wearing it will connect your consciousness to a 100% realistic virtual space."

There, you will undergo a Rank B trial, a medium-difficulty challenge on the first level of the Trial Tower.

"What will the test include?"

Jiang Ming asked.

"You will be prompted after entering."

Zhao Fang said.

"But I can tell you that the B-level test is to kill 100 low-level beast general-level wild bulls within 30 minutes."

Everyone in the virtual space has exactly the same physical attributes: a punching power of 10000 kilograms, a speed of 150 meters per second, and a neural reaction speed of beginner-level warrior-level superior.

"Using the same body is where true combat skills, movement techniques, and willpower are tested."

Jiang Ming nodded.

"Lie down and put on your helmet."

Zhao Fang gestured for Jiang Ming to lie down on one of the sofas, while he walked to the other one.

"I will go in with you, but only as an observer; I will not interfere."

Jiang Ming lay down as instructed and put on the dark blue helmet.

In an instant, it felt as if a tiny electric current had passed through my cerebral cortex, and a buzzing sound rang in my ears.

Everything went dark, and when it lit up again, I found myself on an endless silver land.

The sky is a deep cosmic expanse, with countless stars twinkling, illuminating the silver earth in a dreamlike way.

In the distance, a towering seven-story giant tower stands, its entire body carved with countless monster patterns, becoming increasingly ferocious and terrifying from the bottom to the top.

"This is the Trial Tower."

Zhao Fang's voice came from behind.

Jiang Ming turned around and saw that Zhao Fang had also appeared in the virtual space.

He tried to mobilize the genetic energy within his body, but found that he could not sense any energy flow, although the third eye mark between his eyebrows was still there.

"Look over there."

Zhao Fang pointed to the black stone pillars on both sides of the entrance to the Trial Tower.

Inscriptions appeared on the stone pillar on the left.

Name: Jiang Ming

Sex: Male

Identity: Elite Training Camp Student

Trial Tower Level: 1

The stone pillar on the right contains information about Zhao Fang:

Name: Zhao Fang

Sex: Male

Identity: God of War

Trial Tower Level: 3.5

"The Trial Tower has seven floors. Each floor you clear increases the integer part of your level by 1."

Zhao Fang explained.

"For example, if you pass the first level, it's 2.0; if you pass the second level, it's 3.0. And within a certain level, there will be a decimal rating based on your performance. For example, my 3.5 means that I achieved a medium rating in the third level."

"The current world record is 6.7 by the museum owner 'Hong', and no one has yet set foot on the seventh floor."

Jiang Ming looked up at the towering Trial Tower.

Seven floors... Hong could only make it to the sixth floor, which shows how difficult this Trial Tower is.

"Jiang Ming, please select your combat uniform and weapon. After selection, enter the Trial Tower within one minute to undergo the Rank B test!"

An electronic sound suddenly rang out, echoing throughout the silver space.

Virtual images of various combat uniforms and weapons appeared before his eyes. Jiang Ming quickly selected a well-fitting black combat uniform and a silver three-pointed double-edged gun.

......

In an instant, a vast and boundless grassland unfolded before my eyes, the wind rustling the grass low, and the horizon meeting the sky in the distance, a boundless expanse.

"Jiang Ming".

An electronic sound effect rang out.

"Level B Test Content: Kill 100 low-level beast general-level wild bulls that are besieging you within 30 minutes!"

If you die during the trial, you fail! If you haven't reached 100 kills after 30 minutes, you also fail! This is your first time entering the Trial Tower; you have five minutes to prepare.

[Martial Arts Proficiency Special Effects activated; you are now ready for battle...]

My physical condition has been adjusted to perfection...

[Combat instincts are adapting to the virtual body...]

Five minutes passed in the blink of an eye.

Rumble!!

A hundred meters ahead, a hundred wild bulls appeared out of thin air.

Each one is three meters tall, with bulging muscles, sharp, curved horns, red eyes, and scorching white steam coming out of its nostrils.

Jiang Ming stood still, gun in hand, his eyes calm as an ancient well.

The first wild bull charged forward, its horns piercing straight into his chest!

Jiang Ming moved his feet lightly, took a half-step to the side, and his spear, like a venomous snake spitting its tongue, accurately struck the bull's forehead.

The first level of the "World Destroyer" gun technique: 1.5 times the power!

puff!

Blood splattered, and the raging bull crashed to the ground.

[The Martial Arts Mastery effect has been activated, improving your marksmanship in virtual combat...]

......

The second, the third... the wild bulls charged one after another. Jiang Ming's figure moved among the bulls, and with each thrust of his spear, a wild bull's vital organs were pierced.

His movements were concise and efficient, without a single unnecessary action.

10 heads, 20 heads, 30 heads...

Time ticked by, and Jiang Ming's kill rate remained terrifyingly consistent.

With the blessing of "Martial Arts Divine Connection", the perfect-level spear technique has almost reached the pinnacle of skill, with each strike aimed directly at the weakest point of the bull's defense.

Ten minutes later.

"10 minutes and 01 second, all 100 wild bulls killed, Level B test passed! Congratulations, trainee Jiang Ming."

"You have completed the first stage, B phase of the trial. The next stage is C phase. The objective is to kill 200 Savage Bulls within 50 minutes. Of these 200 Savage Bull monsters, 190 are at the beginner level and 10 are at the intermediate level. Do you wish to continue?"

A sharp glint flashed in Jiang Ming's eyes.

"continue!"

With perfect marksmanship, near-perfect movement skills, and double the power level, Jiang Ming was naturally not satisfied with a mere B-level test.

The grassland scene has been reset.

Two hundred wild bulls appeared in the distance, ten of them particularly tall and strong, with dark gold horns and eyes that gleamed with cunning and ferocity!

A mid-level beast general-level bull leader!

........

Just as Jiang Ming was undergoing the C-level test, the staff of the elite training camp, who had access to the Trial Tower, immediately learned of the news.

The entire elite training camp has no more than 200 people, and each one of them is a peerless genius among the best on Earth, attracting the attention of all forces.

Jiang Ming was no exception.

The moment Jiang Ming entered the camp, his intelligence was already on the desks of various powerful forces.

Meanwhile, news that Jiang Ming passed the B-level assessment in 10 minutes and would continue with the C-level assessment spread instantly.

At this moment, the leaders of countless forces all turned their gazes toward the elite training camp.
