Golden Wuya, a fierce bird of prey, had upper wings and feathers mainly black with a faint silvery-gray luster. Its underbelly and the feathers beneath its wings were golden yellow. Its powerful claws and wings, capable of immense striking force, posed a massive threat to Luo Feng, even though his speed had improved significantly.
However, surrounded by a swarm of flying beasts, anyone with slightly inferior movement techniques couldn’t even unleash their full speed.
“Thud!”
“Whoosh!”
Within the swarm of flying beasts, a flash of white blade light repeatedly shone, accompanied by piercing cries. One by one, the Golden Wuyas plummeted from the sky. Yet, other Golden Wuyas continued to charge forward frantically. In terms of speed, the Golden Wuya’s flight speed far exceeded that of land beasts at the same level. It was common knowledge that flying beasts were faster than land beasts.
This made it impossible for Luo Feng to escape the swarm of flying beasts. He could only fight desperately under their relentless attacks!
His blade techniques were like thunder, each strike instantly fatal!
“Not good!” Luo Feng was lifted off the ground by the claws of a Golden Wuya. With his feet no longer touching the earth, he couldn’t gain any leverage, and thus, couldn’t employ his movement techniques.
Without his movement techniques, Luo Feng was instantly torn apart by the swarm of Golden Wuyas, blood splattering everywhere!
Luo Feng’s body vanished, and the swarm of Golden Wuyas disappeared.
“Man, that hurt.” Luo Feng reappeared in the wilderness.
“What level am I at now in the Trial Tower?” Luo Feng shouted upward. During the previous killing frenzy, he hadn’t dared to be distracted and hadn’t kept track of how many Golden Wuyas he had slain. He only felt that this time lasted longer than the last. Yet, no matter what, he still failed in the end.
An electronic voice sounded: “Trial Tower Level 3.5!”
“Level 3.5?”
A hint of excitement appeared on Luo Feng’s face. At 3.5 times 3.5, his combat power amplification had already reached 12.25, exceeding 12!
He had succeeded!
Ha ha, he had actually succeeded!
Since arriving at the Elite Training Camp, he hadn’t dared to slack off for a single day. Because of his hard work in the first month, he had ranked 68th in that month and received the contract provided by the Limit Martial Arts Gym. After obtaining that contract, he had set a three-month deadline for himself, holding himself to the highest standards!
He constantly pondered martial arts.
Even while showering, his mind was on blade techniques. While chatting with his family and Xu Xin, he would sometimes drift into thoughts about blade techniques.
In the final month, he had crazily challenged fellow trainees, engaging in life-and-death battles again and again…
In the final challenge, he had even wagered 10 billion credits!
Finally…
On the night of July 30th, his combat power amplification finally reached 12!
“Haha, come on! Now, onto Stage B of the third level!” Luo Feng laughed heartily.
Once again, the sky filled with a swarm of Golden Wuya flying beasts!
Luo Feng no longer felt any psychological pressure and devoted himself fully to the trial…
…
An hour of trial ended!
Luo Feng’s final Trial Tower level was 3.6. He had finally succeeded in completing Stage B, but he was quickly killed during Stage C.
“Hmm, compared to my body’s power reaching 3.5 times and my movement techniques reaching perfection, my weakness is my blade techniques, which are only at the second realm of mastery.” Luo Feng realized that as the Trial Tower levels progressed, the requirements for each skill became increasingly stringent. If his blade techniques were weak, he couldn’t instantly kill over ten beasts when surrounded.
Trial Tower Level 3.6!
This score was actually quite impressive within the circle of warriors.
“My combat power amplification is 12.6!” Luo Feng smiled.
…
In the Jiangnan Pavilion, Luo Feng’s study.
When Luo Feng returned and turned on his laptop, it was already 10:50 PM. Without hesitation, he quickly retrieved the contract document he had signed with the Limit Martial Arts Gym from his laptop. This was a scanned copy of the original contract he had signed.
This contract contained a clear phone number. Once Luo Feng’s combat power amplification met the requirements, he could call this number to claim his reward.
“A huge reward.”
Luo Feng took a deep breath.
A full-priced Dragon’s Blood was worth 160 billion credits, while half-priced was 80 billion. A half-priced copy of the “Nine Thunder Blade” manual was also 50 billion. The cheapest set of combat gear and weapons was worth over 10 billion at full price, and nearly a billion at half price. Even at half price, these were staggering figures.
Of course, the cost for the Limit Martial Arts Gym was very low.
The “Nine Thunder Blade” manual was essentially a copyright, costing almost nothing. The cost of Dragon’s Blood was known only to the world’s leader, “Hong,” since he was the only one who could provide it. The cost of combat gear and weapons was only in the billions.
All added together, the total cost was at most a few hundred billion.
However…
That was just the cost! Who sells goods at cost price? Even governments bought Dragon’s Blood at the half-price of 80 billion.
“Beep-beep—” Luo Feng dialed the number.
“Hello.” A deep voice answered.
“Hello, I’m Luo Feng from the Elite Training Camp.” Luo Feng, surprisingly calm now, said, “I previously signed a contract with the gym. There were five reward clauses in the contract. Once I met any of them, I could call this number to claim the corresponding reward. Correct?”
“That’s right!” the deep voice replied.
“My combat power amplification has exceeded 12, meeting the first clause.” Luo Feng said.
“Wait a moment while I check.”
Just moments later, the voice’s tone slightly rose, “Ah, congratulations, Trainee Luo Feng. Your current combat power amplification is 12.6, and the current time is 22:56 on July 30th, which is before August 1st, meeting the reward clause. Your reward includes… a complete set of Series 9 combat gear and weapons, any one set of manual, and a vial of Dragon’s Blood worth 80 billion.”
Upon hearing this, Luo Feng couldn’t help but clench his teeth in excitement, his left fist tightening involuntarily!
Success!
“Please, Trainee Luo Feng, provide me with the detailed specifications of the complete combat gear and weapons you require, as well as the name of the manual you need.” The deep voice continued.
“I need a complete Series 9 combat gear set, sized according to…” Luo Feng quickly reported the size and style details of his combat gear, Blood Shadow Blade, Hexagonal Shield, and also mentioned some auxiliary tools like his communication watch, telescope, backpack, and, of course, his throwing knives!
“I also need the complete “Nine Thunder Blade” manual!”
“Lastly, I want the Dragon’s Blood.” Luo Feng replied, “Oh, and among the ten Series 9 throwing knives I need, I’d like two of them to be upgraded to SS-grade. I can transfer the payment for these two SS-grade knives.”
Throwing knives were small and required less material.
Even at SS-grade, their price was much lower than that of a similarly graded Blood Shadow Blade.
“These two SS-grade throwing knives can be considered part of the combat gear set.” The deep voice obviously didn’t care about two SS-grade throwing knives. After all, a single SS-grade throwing knife at full price was only worth 400 million, and at half price, just 200 million. The cost was even lower! For the Limit Martial Arts Gym, giving such a massive reward, who would care about such a small amount of money?
“The Elite Training Camp is located within the Headquarter Base City. This reward should arrive at the training camp’s main entrance within an hour. You can go there to receive it.” The deep voice said.
“Within an hour?” Luo Feng’s face lit up with surprise.
He hadn’t expected it to arrive so quickly.
“Finally, congratulations to Trainee Luo Feng for receiving this reward. Also, Trainee Luo Feng, keep working hard and strive to reach a combat power amplification of 16 as soon as possible to earn another reward.” After the deep voice finished speaking, the call ended.
The call ended, and the study fell silent.
Yet, Luo Feng’s heart raced.
“Dragon’s Blood, the Dragon’s Blood is coming soon.”
“My strength can undergo an incredible transformation instantly.” Even now, Luo Feng still felt as if he were dreaming… Just like that, the “Nine Thunder Blade” manual and a vial of Dragon’s Blood were about to be his. Considering the commotion caused by the 100 billion credit bounty, one could imagine how enormous that sum was.
Even at half price, the combined value of a manual and a vial of Dragon’s Blood far exceeded 100 billion.
…
Excited, Luo Feng was indeed too thrilled. After waiting in his study for 20 minutes, he couldn’t resist heading to the main entrance of the training camp.
Main Gate.
It was already 11 PM, and the night was a bit chilly. Since it was the 30th, there were no trainees at the gate at this late hour.
“Trainee Luo Feng, why are you here so late?” The head of the security forces at the main entrance, a middle-aged man, greeted with a smile. He naturally recognized this famous figure in the training camp.
“I have something to do.” Luo Feng replied with a smile.
The head of the security forces knew the rules and didn’t ask further.
Under the night breeze, Luo Feng stood alone at the gate, pacing back and forth, waiting. In this waiting, every minute and every second seemed to pass so slowly. Occasionally, a car passed by the training camp’s gate, and Luo Feng couldn’t help but look up, but unfortunately, none were for him!
“Beep!”
A horn sounded, and a large truck approached the training camp’s gate.
“Buzz! Permission granted!” An electronic voice came from the guard room at the main entrance, surprising the patrolling soldiers and other personnel on site. Many systems of the Elite Training Camp were controlled by intelligent systems, not manually operated. Usually, even official vehicles from the gym didn’t have the privilege to enter.
The main gate automatically opened.
The large truck drove in.
“It should be this one.” Luo Feng quickly walked aside. The large truck seemed to have noticed Luo Feng and directly drove to a nearby open area before stopping.
Creak!
The rear door of the truck opened, and a voice sounded: “Trainee Luo Feng, please get on board.”
Luo Feng ran to the rear of the truck, but before he could board, a blue light shone on him, and an electronic voice sounded: “Trainee Luo Feng, identity confirmed. Please get on board.”
The truck’s cabin was luxurious inside, housing three people who looked at Luo Feng in surprise.
“Is this Luo Feng?”
“I wonder what we’re delivering this time from the headquarters. It must be important for all three of us to be dispatched.” The three people inside the cabin, one East Asian and two Caucasians, were speaking in Mandarin. Mandarin was the common language in Hongning Base City, so most people at the headquarters could speak it.
Luo Feng jumped on board and immediately looked into the cabin. His eyes fell on a large safe. Judging by its size, it could easily hold a shield, Blood Shadow Blade, and other items.
At this moment—
The same blue light shone on the safe.
“Reward items confirmed, no discrepancies.” The electronic voice announced, “Trainee Luo Feng, please receive your reward items.”
Luo Feng took a step forward.
One of the three men, a tall Caucasian, picked up the safe and directly handed it to Luo Feng.
“Trainee Luo Feng, what’s inside?” The Caucasian man smiled and asked.
“Confidential.” Luo Feng smiled and accepted the safe.
Finally…
The massive reward was in his hands, and the Dragon’s Blood was his!
