In the evening.
Shen Ping left the main urban area and returned to Yinhui Community.
At night.
Second-floor practice room.
Brilliant starlight streamed in through the skylight.
Shen Ping held his battle blade and performed complex movements. He was incredibly serious with each movement until he felt his body's fatigue. Only then did he sit down cross-legged and Cultivate his genetic energy according to the 'Five Hearts Towards Heaven' posture.
The free-floating energy of the Universe converged through five channels, and his cells, pushed to their limit, greedily absorbed it. The fifth level of the Liufeng Blade Technique increased his absorption efficiency by several times compared to when he first started.
Whoosh.
Until deep into the night.
Shen Ping finished his Cultivation.
He went downstairs, took a shower, and then tiptoed back to his bedroom.
Lying on the bed.
He opened the virtual interface.
Comprehension Ability Points: 928
Exchange Chances: 18
Exchange Chances (Silver): 0
Looking at the bottom of his eyes.
Shen Ping muttered, "I wonder how many Comprehension Ability points are needed for this silver exchange?"
The Epiphany from ordinary exchanges allowed him to completely master the first five levels of the Liufeng Blade Technique in just five tries, and the silver-level one would definitely be more powerful.
"It seems I need to keep accumulating."
Before, his Comprehension Ability accumulation was due to lack of money.
Now, to be able to exchange for the Advanced silver, he still had to endure.
In fact, Shen Ping had also considered taking advantage of his current slight surplus to purchase other Secret Manuals to comprehend, such as "Nine Heavy Thunder Blade", but after careful consideration, he dismissed the idea.
After all, too many cooks spoil the broth.
Although he had a Golden Finger that allowed him to forcefully comprehend, the exertion methods of the two different Secret Manuals were vastly different, and it might cause damage to his muscles and bones.
Of course, the most important reason was that these Secret Manuals were actually very ordinary, and even the exertion methods within them were relatively crude, far inferior to those collected by the Star-Ink lineage.
And good steel must be used on the blade.
He closed his eyes.
Shen Ping cleared his mind and slowly drifted into slumber.
…
Two days passed.
On the afternoon of October 15th, at the Huazhong Base City airport.
Shen Xue instructed, "Xiao Ping, when you get to the Training Camp, take good care of yourself. Remember to be kind to others, but also don't suffer in silence and let others bully you."
Shen Ping nodded, "Sister, I know… I'm going to check in now."
Looking at her younger brother.
Shen Xue's eyes were filled with reluctance and worry.
This was Shen Ping's first time traveling far from home.
Chen Ying, next to her, comforted, "Xue'er, don't worry, your brother can take good care of himself."
…
Following the passage, after checking in, Shen Ping and Yang Hui arrived at the top level of the gigantic disc-shaped passenger plane. The surrounding cabin walls were circular, with a three-dimensional projection in the center.
"The first-class cabin is indeed different from the economy class."
Sitting in his seat, Shen Ping curiously looked around.
Yang Hui chuckled, "What, have you ridden a passenger plane before?"
"Yes, once. Last time I went to Jiangnan Base City, I took a large passenger plane, but it was economy class."
China has six major Base Cities, and the distance between each Base City is very far, requiring passage through many Wilderness Area cities, so travel between them requires taking large passenger planes. However, passenger plane tickets are too expensive; a regular one costs 10 million China dollars, and a first-class ticket is 20 million China dollars.
So, let alone ordinary people, even wealthy individuals are reluctant to spend that much.
Only Advanced Martial Artists who frequently venture into the Wilderness Area and brave life-and-death situations would take passenger planes to other Base Cities.
Yang Hui suddenly understood, then said, "This time, the Martial Arts Academy reimbursed the passenger plane ticket, but next time you want to ride, you'll have to pay yourself. Of course, this amount of money is nothing to you. After you enter the Training Camp, making money will be a side matter."
At this point, a hint of longing suddenly appeared in his eyes, "If you can become a Disciple of Hong or Thunder God in the future, you might even get a fighter jet! Then you won't have to take large passenger planes anymore!"
"Fighter jet?"
Shen Ping blinked.
"Yes, it's the fighter jet that landed in your residential area last time. That's an allocation for the main dojo of each Base City, and a fighter jet costs at least 50 billion or more. Only some High-level Gods of War can afford it, so keep up the good work!"
While the two were chatting, the passenger plane started.
After more than an hour.
Hongning Base City arrived.
Compared to other Base Cities, this one was undoubtedly the most prosperous, as it was the Base City where Hong, the world's strongest individual, resided. Most of the Global rich and conglomerates stayed here, because it was the safest place on Earth!
Exiting the airport.
The two got into a special car.
During the drive, Shen Ping also observed the surrounding environment.
Although located in central Asia, the architecture here had a distinct ancient Eastern style, with pavilions and towers everywhere, and only occasionally could one see a tall building. If not for these buildings, it would give one the feeling of being transported back to the Tang Dynasty.
"During the Great Nirvana period, the Master of the Martial Arts Academy led a group of followers to establish a base here, and the Master liked our China ancient culture, so the architectural style also imitated ancient times. Later, Master Hong became the world's strongest, and the wealthy individuals and conglomerates who successively moved in simply expanded everything according to ancient architecture…"
As Yang Hui spoke, the special car quickly stopped at the main entrance of the Elite Training Camp.
Getting out of the car.
As soon as the two entered the spacious Training Camp gate, they saw a gigantic Black Dragon sculpture horizontally positioned in the plaza in front of the gate.
The enormous Black Dragon, nearly fifty meters tall, exuded an invisible pressure, especially its eyes, which made one feel suffocated with just a glance.
Shen Ping knew that this Black Dragon sculpture wasn't terrifying, but its eyes were.
"Don't stare at the Black Dragon's eyes. Those are the real eyes of an SS-level Monster. The Master killed a Black Dragon that was born from a volcano and dug out its eyes to put them there. The purpose is also to let the Geniuses who come in feel the pressure of a King-level Monster, and to always remember the current predicament of our Earth."
Yang Hui said, pointing to the scales on the Black Dragon sculpture, "Do you see the display screens on those scales? That's the ranking of all the Training Camp members."
Shen Ping looked over.
Names were displayed on the scales, a total of 182 names.
Ranked first was Renatus Bridge (530321).
Second was Chu Qiang (540601).
…
"The 182 members of the entire Training Camp are Geniuses from the five major Global countries and 23 Base Cities. When they come here, they also have to compete and be ranked. The higher the rank, the more resources they get, and the more precious they are. Like the treasures from ancient civilization ruins I mentioned before, their quantity is limited, so they will naturally be given to the higher-ranked Geniuses."
Yang Hui's tone was serious as he looked at Shen Ping, "So don't think that once you reach the Elite Training Camp, you can relax. The competition here is far more intense than anywhere else. The ranking on the Black Dragon scales is updated every month, and if you are continuously ranked among the bottom three for three consecutive times, you will be eliminated from the Training Camp!"
He patted Shen Ping's shoulder, "I don't want to see your name on the elimination list when that time comes!"
Shen Ping quickly said, "I will work hard."
"Let's go, first to where you'll be staying."
Yang Hui smiled. Shen Ping passing the assessment was not a big problem, which was why he said these things.
The two walked along the plaza and soon arrived at an area of palace pavilions.
"Do you see that Nine Heavens Tower? That's where the assessment takes place."
