“Trial Tower level 5 grants the position of Extreme Martial Arts Dojo ‘Supervisory Envoy’,” Luo Feng could not help but read it again carefully. “It also includes a set of ancient civilisation relic ‘Black God’… what on earth is this ‘Black God’ set?”
He was tempted.
There was no way not to be tempted. A Supervisory Envoy, even a national government or military would have to treat such a person with great caution. In other words, breaking through to Trial Tower level 5 meant soaring straight to the top of Earth’s power hierarchy. And on top of that, there was the mysterious ‘Black God’ set from an ancient civilisation relic.
Even though he did not understand it, he could still guess it must be something extremely valuable.
…
Very quickly, Luo Feng finished the entire Student Handbook. From it, he discovered that the training camp placed the greatest importance on three things, Trial Tower level, fist force output level, and Black Dragon Ranking position.
“So this is how points are calculated.”
Points equal battle credits multiplied by combat strength multiplier. Battle credits are simple and can only be obtained in one way, by hunting monsters.
A low level beast general class monster is worth 1 battle credit.
A mid level beast general class monster is worth 10 battle credits.
A high level beast general class monster is worth 100 battle credits.
A low level lord class monster is worth 1000 battle credits.
Of course, even in the elite training camp, even if someone had the strength to hunt low level lord class monsters, very few would be foolish enough to actually do so. After all, once a student accumulates enough to kill two low level lords, their strength evaluation becomes God of War level and they must graduate and leave the camp.
Not many students are willing to leave early.
As for the combat strength multiplier, it is simple, it equals fist force output level multiplied by Trial Tower level.
For example, if someone has 1000 battle credits, a fist force output level of 1.5, and Trial Tower level 2, then their combat strength multiplier is 3. Their points would be 3000.
“True enough, the camp really values fist force output level and Trial Tower level. Even a slight increase in combat strength multiplier leads to a huge jump in points,” Luo Feng thought after reading the Student Handbook. He then opened several teaching videos on the training camp laptop.
Although the camp had many God of War level instructors teaching various courses, the camp also understood that these genius students had strange personalities and would not all attend classes properly. So teaching videos were prepared, with every lecture recorded and stored in each student’s laptop.
Of course, attending real classes allowed direct one on one guidance and answers from instructors, which was better than videos.
“But I have never attended those God of War classes. I will just watch these videos,” Luo Feng said as he carefully browsed the folder.
The directory clearly separated videos into categories, including guiding techniques, movement techniques, force output, blade techniques, sword techniques, spear techniques, staff techniques, hammer techniques, and many more.
Luo Feng’s biggest strengths were three things, spiritual念力, movement technique at minor mastery level, and force output that could instantly reach 2.8 times his normal strength.
“Let’s start with movement techniques.”
He opened a teaching video and began watching.
Movement realms were divided into basic level, minor mastery level, perfect level, and intent level. Luo Feng opened several videos, most focused on explaining minor mastery level. As for perfect level, even the instructors could not clearly explain it in words.
It required comprehension, it was difficult to teach.
As for intent level, it was even beyond words.
…
4:35 pm.
Luo Feng was still sitting in front of the laptop, watching a force output training video.
“Teacher, my fist burst power can reach 1.8 times my normal strength. But my leg burst power is only 1.5 times. You said leg force should be able to match fist force. Why can I not do it?”
In the video, a black young man asked. The video language had been set to Chinese, so Luo Feng understood it clearly.
A white muscular instructor smiled and said, “You need to understand it yourself. Think carefully about how your fists generate force, then go back and study your legs. Since you can already reach 1.5 times, that means you have improved. From here on, it depends on you. The teacher can only guide you.”
Boom.
It felt like a bolt of lightning struck Luo Feng. He sat frozen in front of the computer, eyes wide, then suddenly burst into joy. He slapped his head and jumped up.
“I am such an idiot, so stupid, so stupid. How did I not think of something so simple?”
“Good heavens, I have never realised this before.”
“Yes, if fists can generate force, then legs can too.”
“My Nine Layer Thunder Blade technique allows me to reach 2.8 times normal strength, but my running speed has always been only at the level of a normal early battle general.”
“I never realised that if I can transmit dark force into my arms, I can also transmit it into my legs.”
Luo Feng could not help but laugh at himself.
It was a simple truth. After mastering precise force control, fists can explode with power, and so can legs. Yet he had never connected the two.
“Ordinary warriors are not spiritual念师. They cannot use spiritual念力 to boost their bodies.”
“So for warriors cultivating the Nine Layer Thunder Blade, if only attack power is strong but speed is slow, how can they fight above their level? An early battle general would not even be able to see a high battle general’s shadow.”
The reason he could fight above his level was because of his spiritual念力 support.
“It is my stupidity.”
“The force output of Nine Layer Thunder Blade can be used in the arms, and also in the legs. That means stronger legs and faster speed. With both speed and strength improved, only then can I fight above my level.”
His eyes shone.
“My current burst power is 2.8 times. That means my legs can also reach 2.8 times. My speed might nearly double.”
For true experts, speed is often more important than strength. If you are much faster than your opponent, you can completely control them.
“Speed. I need more speed.”
Without hesitation, he closed the laptop and rushed downstairs.
Every student building had an underground training chamber, built with Kro alloy walls for full strength training.
In Luo Feng’s underground chamber, he switched on the light. The room was about 2.5 metres high, 5 metres long and 5 metres wide. The greenish metal walls and floor were covered with faint dents from previous students.
“Ha.”
He lunged forward and punched the alloy wall.
Boom.
By the end of February, his punch force was close to 10,000 kg. By the end of March, it had increased to 11,500 kg. With 2.8 times burst power, it exceeded 30,000 kg, over 30 tons.
A faint dent appeared on the wall.
Compared with previous students, he was still weak. Those seniors likely already had God of War level strength at the time.
“Now my leg power.”
He began applying the Nine Layer Thunder Blade technique.
First layer.
One extra dark force.
Whoosh, whoosh.
His right leg became a blur, kicking repeatedly in mid air.
“Getting it.”
“Yes, release the force.”
“That is it.”
With his Third Layer mastery, he quickly reached 1.4 times leg burst power. He then began rapid movement training inside the narrow 25 square metre room, accelerating, changing direction, dodging.
In combat, the body constantly changes direction, so repeated bursts are harder than a single strike.
After 20 minutes, his legs had fully adapted to repeated 1.4 times bursts.
…
Next was the second layer, aiming for 2.1 times leg burst power.
…
“Luo Feng, you are too hardworking. You went into the underground chamber on your first day? Hurry up, it is almost eight o’clock. We are having a welcome banquet for you,” Zhao Ru’s voice came from outside.
Inside the chamber, Luo Feng, drenched in sweat, finally stopped.
“Almost eight o’clock? I came in at around four, I did not expect three hours to pass,” he thought happily. “Three hours, and my legs can now repeatedly burst at 2.1 times in movement. As for 2.8 times, I will need more time.”
He immediately rushed out.
“I will shower and change, and be right there,” he said, waving.
Outside, Shi Jiang and Zhao Ru shook their heads with smiles when they saw him soaked in sweat.
“He is indeed very diligent,” Shi Jiang said.
“Yes, even though the banquet starts at eight, he stayed in training until 7:30,” Zhao Ru said helplessly. But she was not surprised. Almost everyone in the elite camp trained hard. Still, it was rare to see someone go straight into underground training on the very first day.
…
After showering and changing into clean casual clothes, Luo Feng stood in front of the mirror with a bright smile.
“Mirror, mirror, I believe that once I reach 2.8 times burst power, my speed will nearly double. With that speed, how far can I go in the Trial Tower?”
A doubling of speed was terrifying. If his speed increased by one full level during the B class assessment, combined with his minor mastery level movement technique, even close to perfect level, dealing with those 100 rhinoceros bulls would be easy.
“Time for the banquet. I will meet the other Chinese geniuses.”
Smiling at the mirror, he turned and went downstairs, leaving Jiangnan Pavilion with Shi Jiang and Zhao Ru to attend the gathering of the Chinese faction in the training camp.
