Chapter 9 finally got inside.
After a journey, Lin Hao arrived safely at the entrance of the elite training camp.
As soon as you step through the gate, a giant dragon sculpture comes into view. The nearly fifty-meter-tall black dragon looks like it's alive, with its huge eyes seemingly staring right at you.
Lin Hao felt an invisible pressure coming at him, and his mind went blank for a moment.
Upon regaining consciousness, I saw that the giant black dragon was surrounded by small screens, each displaying a name.
Before Lin Hao could take a closer look, a figure approaching from a distance had already captured his gaze.
She was a young woman with a breathtaking figure, two swords at her waist, and wearing a purple training uniform.
The simple training clothes couldn't hide her impressive figure, and she exuded a sharp, edgy aura as she walked.
"Lin Hao, my name is Jiang Fang. You will be training under my guidance in the elite training camp from now on."
As she approached, Jiang Fang spoke, her seemingly delicate appearance belying a sharp, ruthless edge.
"Hello, Teacher Jiang, I am Lin Hao."
Lin Hao pretended to be a good boy on the surface.
A gentleman hides his weapon in his body and moves when he waits for time.
"Did you see the names on the black dragon? This is the monthly ranking list of trainees' points in the training camp."
The elite training camp recruits new members every March, but it was already December. Lin Hao was able to get in, and the martial arts school even canceled his entry assessment overnight and offered him a brand new contract. This made Jiang Fang very curious about him, but she was shocked when she found out what he was doing.
"Currently, the elite training camp has a total of 182 students, all of whom are top geniuses in the world. They are ranked monthly according to their combat power points."
Jiang Fang looked at Lin Hao with great satisfaction. "Lin Hao, I admire you. Not everyone has the courage to face a horde of rats. But in the training camp, that's not enough. You must not slack off and strive for a higher ranking. The higher the ranking, the more benefits you will receive."
"It is my honor to receive your praise..."
Lin Hao scratched his head.
Jiang Fang continued, "Every year, major forces on Earth are willing to spend hundreds of billions of Earth dollars to send geniuses here. Why? Because our Extreme Martial Arts Academy has Hong Dang, the strongest person on Earth, as its headmaster. We have the most top-tier treasures excavated from ancient civilization ruins, and our training camp has more than you can imagine."
"Don't think that you'll be worry-free once you get into the training camp. The competition here is very intense. Your ranking determines your treatment. The higher your ranking, the more valuable you are to train and the more resources you will receive."
"follow me."
Jiang Fang nodded slightly, turned around and led the way with light steps, with Lin Hao following closely behind.
After walking across the square and around the giant black dragon sculpture, we entered the elite training camp.
Although it is called a training camp, it is actually a magnificent ancient Chinese architectural complex with precious flowers, trees, bridges and streams. Apart from a few main palaces, there are elegant pavilions. Young men and women of various races can be seen coming and going from time to time, wearing loose training clothes.
The training camp is located at the center of a giant nine-story tower.
"That's the Nine-Story Building. The students' learning, training, and special training rooms are all located there."
Jiang Fang explained.
Each floor of the Nine-Story Building is about ten meters high. Although it has nine floors, it is comparable to the height of a regular twenty-story building. It has a classical appearance, high-tech interior, and a hard alloy floor.
Lin Hao walked past Jiang Fang, and many people looked at him.
Someone who recognized Jiang Fang asked loudly, "Teacher Jiang, who is this? I've never seen her before."
"The recruitment period hasn't started yet, so how come there are new students?"
Jiang Fang simply nodded slightly, gave a few brief replies, and then ignored the murmurs of the crowd, continuing to lead Lin Hao slowly toward their destination.
Some people greeted Lin Hao, and a burly young man asked with a smile, "Brother Lin Hao?"
Lin Hao smiled and nodded.
The young man smiled and said, "Keep it up!"
A tall, blond-haired, blue-eyed Western youth stood next to Lin Hao, arms crossed, glancing at him sideways. He said to his companion in a slightly sarcastic tone, "Look, another Eastern newbie who got in through connections. I wonder how long he can last."
Lin Hao ignored the other party's provocative gaze and followed Jiang Fang away.
Jiang Fang followed him to the office on the second floor.
Jiang Fang took a printed contract from her desk and placed it on the table: "Take a look. If there are no problems, sign it. This was sent to me by headquarters today. The contract terms were personally drafted by the owner and cannot be changed."
"Lin Hao, with your talent, your future will definitely be brilliant after entering the training camp. Various forces around the world will try to recruit you. However, as the number one force in the world, the Limit Martial Arts Academy can offer you something that money can't buy."
Lin Hao nodded and picked up the contract.
This is the official recruitment contract for the Ultimate Martial Arts Academy. Unlike the previous contracts, which only stated that the applicant was affiliated with the academy, there was no salary, and the applicant earned money by killing monsters. The requirements were also less stringent.
This contract involves power, interests, and responsibilities.
"Annual operating expenses of 50 billion RMB?"
Lin Hao saw that the amount of funding, equivalent to an annual salary, looked like a lot, but was actually quite little.
Although he often neglects to clean up the battlefield due to the large number of beasts, he has earned nearly 10 billion in the past month, not to mention his rapid growth rate.
The Extreme Martial Arts Academy pays salaries based on rank, with contracts specifying the amount each level receives. The highest-ranking Inspector among the War Gods only has an annual budget of 100 billion, and most people who join the academy are not there for the money.
Turn to the last page; the content there is crucial.
"The complete 'Ninefold Thunder Blade' manual is being given away for free? As a reward for my bravery in the rat horde?"
There are also rewards for reaching combat power amplitudes of 12, 16, and so on.
Among the rewards, the Dragon Blood and the Ancient Civilization Relics Black God Set were particularly tempting to Lin Hao. One could greatly improve physical attributes, and the other was a life-saving artifact in the early stages, usable up to the Stellar level.
Jiang Fang watched Lin Hao finish reading the contract and said, "You can refer to the student handbook later to see the rules for combat power amplitude and student points ranking mentioned in this contract."
Are you willing to sign?
"Sign it, why wouldn't I?"
Lin Hao nodded and immediately signed the contract.
"Very good. Choose a code name for yourself; it will accompany you throughout the entire training camp."
"Today is December 2nd, and you will officially join the training camp tomorrow. Therefore, the first four digits of your code name must be '5612', and you can choose any two numbers for the last two digits."
"Let's go with 01 then! What's the point of coming here if we don't get first place!"
Lin Hao replied firmly.
"Okay. Your student code is 561201."
Jiang Fang nodded, "The other formalities will be completed soon."
On the Black Dragon Sculpture Ranking of the World's Number One Training Camp, the 183rd name appeared that very day.
"No.183 Lin Hao (561201)"
……
On the first day of camp, Jiang Fang helped Lin Hao complete the formalities and then briefly showed him the main features of the Nine-Story Building, such as the "Gravity Chamber" and the "Challenge Chamber".
He wasn't trained any further; his formal training camp life will begin tomorrow.
Jiang Fang led him to a corner of the elite training camp, where there was a courtyard full of Jiangnan charm, with white walls and black tiles, which looked simple and elegant.
A large plaque hangs high above the main gate, bearing the three gilded characters "Jiangnan Pavilion," which gleam in the sunlight, exuding a unique grandeur.
"Lin Hao, you are currently ranked 183rd, which is an odd number. So starting tomorrow, you will join the other students to hunt monsters in the wilderness and earn battle points. On even-numbered days, you will stay in the training camp and learn from me."
Jiang Fang gave these instructions in front of Jiangnan Pavilion.
"is teacher."
Chapter 10 The Senior Sisters' Favoritism
Upon entering Jiangnan Pavilion, neither Senior Brother Shi Jiang nor Zhao Ruo were present. Perhaps because it was still early, they were still hunting monsters in the wilderness and had not yet returned.
Lin Hao quickly understood the basic contents of the "Trainee Instructions", especially the evaluation criteria for combat power amplitude and the rules for ranking by points.
The rule is actually very simple: multiply the martial artist's "fist power level" by the "trial tower level" to get the combat power amplitude.
Lin Hao's current "Trial Tower Level" is not yet available because the "Trial Room" requires reservation.
The punching power level was updated in the challenge room before; it's 2.8 for the third level of the Nine-Fold Thunder Blade.
I also experienced the gravity chamber under Jiang Fang's guidance. It was a pity that it only lasted for an hour, but it was still equivalent to five days of training!
The student ranking is calculated by multiplying the student's earned battle points by the battle power amplitude, and the final result is the student's score.
The entire training camp has 183 participants. At midnight on the 28th of each month, the participants' points will stop changing and be reset to zero. Then, the rankings will be recalculated based on the new round of points.
The way to obtain battle points is for students to hunt monsters themselves and then hand over the monster materials to the training camp. In addition to receiving corresponding monetary rewards, they will also receive battle points based on the monster's level, which is somewhat similar to the contribution points in the Extreme House.
Generally speaking, the higher the monster's level, the more battle points you can obtain.
The specific corresponding rules are:
A low-level Beast General-class monster, 1 battle point;
A mid-level Beast General-class monster, 10 battle points;
A high-level beast general-level monster, 100 battle points;
A low-level lord-level monster requires 1000 battle points.
However, in the training camp, almost no one goes to hunt lord-level monsters.
Because once a warrior submits materials for two Lord-level monsters, their level will be recognized as War God level, and according to the training camp's rules, they will have to graduate from the training camp.
Most of the trainees in the training camp already possess the skill level of a war god, but they are unwilling to graduate in order to continue receiving more high-quality resources and training in the camp so that they can further improve their strength.
……
"Wow, so handsome! You wouldn't happen to be the new guy, Lin Hao, would you?!"
Not long after, a young man and a young woman entered the living room. The man was slightly shorter than Lin Hao, with a strong build and a reserved gaze.
Another girl with a ponytail, who looked cheerful and lively and exuded youthful energy, took the initiative to greet Lin Hao.
"I am Lin Hao, and I am very happy to become your roommates."
Lin Hao also got up from the sofa and nodded to Shi Jiang and Zhao Ruo who came in.
"Lin Hao, well done!"
Shi Jiang, who was standing nearby, walked over enthusiastically and shook Lin Hao's hand. "My name is Shi Jiang, and her name is Zhao Ruo. We have both witnessed your heroic demeanor during the rat swarm!"
