Nine Heavens Tower.
The iconic building of the Training Camp.
It is not only the place where many Geniuses undergo their entrance assessment, but also where Training Camp members Cultivate and study. Except for eating and resting, almost all members spend most of their time in the Nine Heavens Tower.
Listening to Yang Hui's brief introduction, Shen Ping couldn't help but gaze at the gigantic tower, thinking to himself that he would also frequently enter and exit the Nine Heavens Tower in the Training Camp from now on.
The two talked as they arrived at a two-story pavilion.
"Shen Ping, you'll stay here tonight. The assessment will be held tomorrow noon. After the assessment, your accommodation will be arranged."
Arriving at the pavilion.
Inside, all the furniture was ancient, except for a laptop, power outlets, and electric lights. There were no other modern appliances.
"For meals, just make a call and someone will deliver them. Don't run around. You're not a Training Camp member yet."
Yang Hui instructed, as he did with every newcomer he was responsible for.
"Understood."
…
After Yang Hui left.
Shen Ping placed his backpack on the second floor, then walked to the balcony. The view here was expansive, allowing him to see beautiful palace pavilions in the distance. Within the pavilions, there were also many streams, rockeries, long pavilions, and an artificial lake.
Such scenery was pleasing to the eye just by looking at it.
"This place is indeed very suitable for Cultivating."
He sighed.
He turned and went to the study, closed his eyes, and let his thoughts drift away.
He ate a meal in reality, took some time to shower, and then entered the Devouring World. By then, it was already early morning the next day.
After Cultivating gene original force for a while and practicing his blade techniques, it was almost noon.
And right after he finished eating.
Yang Hui arrived, "Let's go, I'll take you to the Nine Heavens Tower for the assessment."
"Do I need to prepare anything?"
Shen Ping asked.
"No need, just come empty-handed."
The two left the pavilion and arrived at the base of the gigantic nine-story tower.
This tower, with each floor six meters high, looks like an ancient pagoda from the outside, but once inside, it is very technologically advanced, with walls and floors made of special alloy.
Taking the elevator, I quickly reached the ninth floor.
The ninth floor is the top floor, a spacious hall with some cushions, where many people were casually chatting while sitting on the cushions, evidently waiting for their turn at the Trial Tower.
Shen Ping's entrance with Yang Hui immediately attracted attention.
Several people from China saw Shen Ping and asked if he was from China. Upon learning that he was, smiles appeared on their faces, and one by one, they wished Shen Ping success in passing the assessment.
Passing through the hall and walking deeper, there was a passage with rooms on both sides.
The rooms were simply furnished, with only two sofas, each with a dark blue helmet, which was the consciousness sensor.
Seeing this helmet,
Shen Ping felt a bit of anticipation. In the Devouring World, he had experienced consciousness descending, so he wondered if using this consciousness sensor would be different.
It turned out Shen Ping was overthinking.
After putting on the consciousness sensing helmet, there was no change.
...
Boom.
Consciousness instantly arrived at a boundless silver land, with the Universe starry sky above, and the entire silver land had only one building: the Trial Tower.
The Trial Tower soared into the clouds, with images carved all over its body.
"What we are in now is a virtual space, only consciousness, no Physical Body, so here your body's genetic original power is also absent, and everyone who enters this virtual space, their body is at the Elementary Warlord level, no exceptions..."
Yang Hui explained, while leading Shen Ping to the Trial Tower about three to four hundred meters away.
In front of the Trial Tower's main gate, there were two black stone pillars on the left and right. When Yang Hui and Shen Ping stood at the entrance, carvings appeared on the black stone pillars.
The left side displayed:
Name: Shen Ping
Gender: Male
Identity: Elite Training Camp Reserve Member
Trial Tower Rank: 1
And the right side displayed Yang Hui's information: he was a God of War, and his current Trial Tower Rank was 3.2.
"The Trial Tower Rank represents your combat power level at the same genetic quality level. For example, I have only reached the B-level difficulty of the third floor, so it's 3.2, and you haven't challenged yet, so it's the original 1. The entire Trial Tower has seven floors, and no one has fully cleared it yet. The highest is Hall Master Hong, who has reached the sixth floor!"
Yang Hui sighed, "Once you enter the Trial Tower, you'll know how difficult it is to clear. Of course, with your current strength, passing this assessment won't be a problem!"
At this moment,
An electronic voice sounded.
"Shen Ping, please select your combat suit and weapon. After selection, you will enter the Trial Tower in one minute for the B-level assessment!"
As the electronic voice echoed, a combat suit and battle blade appeared before Shen Ping.
"Shen Ping, go in!"
Yang Hui smiled and waved.
Soon,
Shen Ping stepped into the pitch-black gate of the Trial Tower.
Swish.
The scene changed.
Shen Ping stood on a vast, boundless grassland.
"Shen Ping, the B-level test requires you to kill 100 Elementary Beast General Mang ox within 30 minutes. Death in the middle means failure, and if you don't kill 100 within the time limit, it's also a failure. This is your first time entering the Trial Tower, so you have 5 minutes of preparation time."
The electronic voice sounded.
Shen Ping took a deep breath; he was already mentally prepared for this.
Five minutes passed.
In the distance, a herd of Mang ox, all reaching the Elementary Beast General level, refreshed on the grassland. Upon discovering Shen Ping, they all charged towards him, stomping the ground.
"Moo~"
These Mang ox were all three meters tall, their sharp horns tinged with red, their nostrils puffing white Qi, and their eyes filled with bloodlust.
Shen Ping stood still, feeling the ground gradually tremble, gripping his battle blade tightly, his eyes sparkling with excitement, "Come on, let me see what level my current combat power has reached!"
Rumble~
The 100 Mang ox were incredibly fast, their charge like a tsunami, threatening to completely overwhelm Shen Ping. Just as the horns of the fastest charging Mang ox were about to pierce Shen Ping, he finally moved.
Swish.
With a slight push of his toes,
Shen Ping's body suddenly leaped out, and at the same time, he swung his battle blade.
At this moment,
The full amplification of the fifth level of Flowing Wind Blade Technique erupted!
A force of nearly fifty thousand kilograms was unleashed.
Pfft.
The Mang ox in front of him was directly sent flying backward, its body crashing into the herd behind.
Whoosh.
Shen Ping didn't even look back, his figure flying like the wind towards the Mang ox herd, but he followed behind the corpse of that Mang ox. A few seconds before he was about to approach the front row of Mang ox, he stepped forcefully on the killed Mang ox's corpse, and his body leaped into the air.
Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!
Blade light flickered.
Three Mang ox that simultaneously leaped were directly cut down.
The perfect-level movement technique allowed full utilization of everything in the surroundings. The Mang ox's charge, their corpses, and every part of their bodies were utilized to the extreme by Shen Ping, and his blade even used the wind generated by the airflow to increase the speed and power of his swings.
1, 2, 3...
As the Mang ox continuously fell,
The space Shen Ping could utilize gradually expanded, and his movement technique became even more ghostly and unparalleled. Combined with the blade light, from the outside, it looked as if he wasn't slaughtering, but rather splashing ink onto a landscape painting.
A moment passed.
All 100 Mang ox had fallen.
At this moment,
The electronic voice echoed across the grassland.
"Time taken: 5 minutes and 32 seconds. All 100 Elementary Beast General Mang ox killed. B-level test passed. Congratulations, student Shen Ping!"
Immediately after, the electronic voice continued, "Student Shen Ping, you will automatically leave the virtual space in 5 seconds..."
