In this training camp, although the opportunities to use the ancient civilization’s gravity chamber are rare, each use delivers astonishing results! Moreover, every day in the training camp offers two hours of training in a replica gravity chamber. While the replica chamber’s gravity is a mere triple, its prolonged usage more than compensates.
Therefore, Luo Feng’s progress here is significantly faster than when he was in the Jiangnan Base City.
When Luo Feng first arrived at the end of March, his punch force was 11,500 kilograms.
By the end of April, Luo Feng’s punch force had reached 13,600 kilograms. An increase of 2,100 kilograms in a month—an efficiency clearly much greater.
By the end of May, Luo Feng’s punch force reached 16,500 kilograms, an increase of 2,900 kilograms in a month. This was mainly because in May, Luo Feng gained an additional hour in the ancient civilization’s gravity chamber. This extra hour could be divided into twenty minutes over three days. Thus, the effect of three days equaled that of fifteen days of normal training! This is the speed of progress under extreme gravity.
Of course, part of the reason was Luo Feng’s improved physical quality, which naturally enhanced his training speed.
The stronger the body, the faster the training progress naturally becomes.
By the end of June—yesterday—Luo Feng personally tested his punch force, which had reached 19,600 kilograms. An increase of nearly 3,100 kilograms in a month. Compared to May, the improvement was not very significant.
It should be known—
16,000 kilograms to 32,000 kilograms is the level of an average warrior. 32,000 kilograms to 64,000 kilograms is the level of a high-ranking warrior. Exceeding 64,000 kilograms marks the level of a warrior god.
Currently, with a 2.8x burst, Luo Feng’s punch force is around 55,000 kilograms. He is not far from the level of a low-tier warrior god!
“Last month I ranked 48th, so this month, I will double my time in the ancient civilization’s training chamber.” Luo Feng clearly understood the effect of the ancient civilization’s gravity chamber. Twenty minutes a day, over three days, the effect equates to fifteen days of normal training!
This month, Luo Feng has four hours, which he can divide into twelve sessions of twenty minutes each.
This is also the most efficient training method elite training camp students have discovered through long-term experience—maximizing limited time. Each session of twenty minutes, over three days, produces an effect nearly double that of spending one hour a day in the ancient civilization’s gravity chamber!
“Last month, my punch force increased by 3,100 kilograms. This month, the estimated increase should reach over 4,000 kilograms.”
“If I continue like this, in ten months, my physical strength will reach the level of a low-tier warrior god. My mental power will reach the level of a high-tier warrior god!” Ten months—meaning by next spring—he would possess the invincible power of a warrior god level… of course, assuming the dark golden sphere in his mind contains enough mental power.
How exciting…
He hoped the dark golden sphere in his consciousness would continue to sustain him until he became a high-tier warrior god!
“If only I could obtain a portion of dragon’s blood!”
“With it, in just one or two months, I could become a high-tier warrior god!” Luo Feng strongly desired to obtain some dragon’s blood. The effects of dragon’s blood vary depending on the user’s strength. The stronger the user, the weaker the effect. However, it normally doubles one’s strength! Moreover, the medicinal properties in dragon’s blood can accelerate a martial artist’s future cultivation!
Dragon’s blood!
Now, he had an opportunity to obtain dragon’s blood—by achieving a combat power amplitude of 12 before August 1st.
“12! I’m only at 8.96 now. What should I do?”
“Normally, through hard training alone, it’s difficult to break through in just one month.” Luo Feng gritted his teeth. “No risk, no reward. I have no choice but to use that method!”
A life-and-death battle!
The best way to improve strength is through a life-and-death battle!
Life-and-death battles can be divided into battles with monsters and battles with humans.
Naturally, battling human warriors with superior combat techniques and greater intelligence yields better results. However, battling warriors with a significant strength disparity is meaningless. Defeating an opponent in one move, or being defeated in one move—where is the sense of life-and-death struggle? The ideal opponent—
Is one of equal strength, capable of an all-out fight to the death!
But how many martial artists are willing to fight to the death? Fortunately, there is the challenge chamber, where in its virtual space, one can fight without restraint.
However—
Challenge chamber duels require money or points!
“So what if it’s money?”
“Last time, I won 5 billion from William, and the Limit Martial Arts Gym also transferred this year’s activity budget of 5 billion to me! I refuse to believe I could lose 10 billion in a month. Even if I did lose 10 billion, as long as my combat amplitude reaches 12, it would be worth it.” In the final month before the deadline,
Luo Feng chose widespread duels!
…
The next day, Luo Feng returned from hunting monsters in the wilderness area. Around 8 PM, inside Jiangnan Pavilion.
“What, you’re going to challenge so many people?” Shi Jiang was greatly surprised, looking at Luo Feng.
Luo Feng nodded: “Yes, Senior Brother. I don’t know much about the strength of the experts in the training camp. I hope you can tell me who is around my level. I want to find someone of similar strength to challenge in a duel!” Fighting someone much stronger would not only be ineffective in a life-and-death battle but also handing money over to them.
“You’re really pushing it,” Shi Jiang shook his head. “The minimum bet for a duel in the challenge chamber’s virtual space system is 1 billion Huaxia Credits. Each duel is 1 billion, which is a huge sum.”
“Besides, those weaker than you definitely won’t accept the duel.”
“Only those confident they can defeat you will accept the challenge. With so many duels, you might lose a lot of money,” Shi Jiang sighed. “Alright, in the training camp, some people are good at monster hunting and rank high, but their actual strength may not be that high. Others are strong but not good at climbing the rankings.”
The rankings on the Black Dragon Leaderboard are based on points.
While they somewhat reflect strength, they cannot fully represent it.
Shi Jiang, as an experienced student and one of the top experts in the training camp, indeed knows many people’s true strengths.
“I’ll give you a list. These people are all close to your level, slightly lower, or slightly higher. In battle, whoever wins or loses will depend on their performance in the moment.” After saying this, Shi Jiang first opened his laptop to bring up the leaderboard, then looked at it and quickly typed out a list.
A total of 32 names!
These are the people Shi Jiang believes are not too far from Luo Feng’s strength.
“Thank you, Senior Brother.” Luo Feng looked at the list. These people were mainly ranked between 60th and 30th on the leaderboard, with a few exceptions. The most extreme case was 91st, and the highest was 21st.
…
Late that night, around 9 PM.
Kyoto Pavilion.
“Luofeng, why have you come? Please sit.” Three male students at Kyoto Pavilion were chatting together when they saw Luo Feng arrive, and they all stood up smiling to greet him.
“Senior Brother Wang.”
Luofeng humbly said, “I came here to challenge you to a duel.” Wang Tao’s ranking last month was 36th.
“A duel?” Wang Tao, the challenged one, frowned. He hadn’t provoked this rising star of the training camp, and the other two youths also slightly changed their expressions.
In the training camp, duels are usually considered provocative acts.
“Senior Brother Wang, I just want to spar and test our skills. No other intentions. We’ll duel, but not for points, just for money, at the minimum stake of 1 billion Huaxia Credits.” Luofeng quickly added.
Hearing this, Wang Tao smiled.
For the students, the most important thing is points, as points relate to rankings!
Generally, duels can be for points, money, or both! Duels for points require a minimum of 2,000 points, while duels for money require a minimum of 1 billion Huaxia Credits. Luofeng only wants to bet money at the minimum amount, clearly indicating it’s for sparring, not provocation.
“Haha, sure! I’ll accept Luofeng’s challenge. Just send me the challenge application tomorrow, and we’ll duel then.” Wang Tao readily agreed.
One billion is nothing, and he has a high chance of winning against Luofeng.
Why not do Luofeng a favor?
…
On July 3rd, Luofeng and Wang Tao’s duel took place in the virtual space’s tropical rainforest environment, a life-and-death battle.
Result: Luofeng lost!
After losing this first match, Luofeng started challenging other students! Throughout July, Luofeng sparked a challenge frenzy in the elite training camp. It’s rare for a student to challenge so crazily. However, since Luofeng didn’t bet points and only bet the minimum amount of money, and his opponents were rarely weaker than him.
Most of them accepted his challenge successfully!
Even some heard that Luofeng liked to challenge others and actively came to duel with him.
Every odd-numbered day during training camp, Luofeng could find an opponent for a life-and-death battle! It could be said that Luofeng was the most aggressive duelist in July.
From the 3rd to the 27th, Luofeng fought a total of 36 duels, losing 19 and winning 17. Each bet was 1 billion Huaxia Credits. Obviously, the students didn’t want to bet too heavily, meaning he lost 2 billion!
…
On the 28th, late at night around 11 PM.
Candice Polynesia returned to her residence.
“This Luofeng’s ranking has risen again this month, reaching 43rd. It’s almost midnight, just under an hour left, so his ranking probably won’t change much.” William and Candice walked back to their residence together. Candice’s face was grim as she snapped, “Don’t mention that Luofeng in front of me.”
William looked at Candice.
Candice gritted her teeth, clearly furious.
“I told you long ago, don’t chase Janet anymore,” William sat on the chair. “Janet only has eyes for Luofeng now.”
“That Chinese kid,” Candice was angry.
Over the past three months, Candice had tried every means to win Janet’s favor, but unfortunately, she failed repeatedly. Janet clearly only had eyes for her junior brother Luofeng. And tonight, when she went to check the Black Dragon Leaderboard, she tried to get close to Janet again, only to be driven back by a single sentence from Janet.
“Endure, endure, endure!” Candice forced herself to stay calm, trying to persuade herself.
Her reason told her not to provoke Luofeng, she must endure!
Suddenly—
Footsteps echoed.
“Hmm?” Candice and William both looked up in confusion. At this time, most people should be by the giant Black Dragon sculpture. Who would come here?
A figure entered the courtyard.
Candice’s expression slightly changed, and William was even more surprised, his eyes wide: “Why is he here?”
The person who arrived was none other than Luofeng!
“Candice, hello.” Luofeng smiled. In the list Shi Jiang had written for him earlier, Candice’s name was on it.
“Luofeng, what brings you here?” Although she wanted to devour the person in front of her, Candice still managed a faint smile, maintaining basic politeness.
Luofeng smiled: “Candice, I want to challenge you to a duel! I have no other intentions, just for sparring and testing skills… We won’t bet points, oh, and there are no points to bet tomorrow either. We’ll bet money, at the minimum stake of 1 billion Huaxia Credits. How about it?”
“A duel?” Candice and William both understood.
They had heard that Luofeng had gone crazy with duels.
They never expected that today, he would come looking for Candice.
“This yellow-skinned monkey always flirts with Janet!” Candice was full of anger, watching the girl she liked always getting close to another man. She had to suppress her anger for three months, an anger no ordinary person could endure. “I’ve been looking for a way to get back at you, and now you come to challenge me.”
Damn it!
How could she miss such a golden opportunity for open retaliation? And it was Luofeng himself who came knocking!
If she didn’t teach Luofeng a good lesson, she would be unworthy of enduring this anger for so long!
“A duel, sure! But the stake is too small. Luofeng, you’re such a rising star in our training camp. How about a stake of 10 billion Huaxia Credits?” Candice stared at Luofeng. This was a huge sum, a significant amount for her as well, but only with a large stake could she make the other party feel the pain!
“10 billion?” Luofeng was greatly surprised.
Each of his previous duels was only 1 billion, how could he play for 10 billion? Such a large stake was rarely seen in the elite training camp in a whole year! Moreover, in terms of strength, perhaps physically, this Candice Polynesia, as an experienced student, was much stronger than him. But in terms of combat amplitude, she probably wasn’t much stronger. Why did she suddenly raise the stake so high?
“Scared?” Candice smirked, looking at Luofeng.
“Not scared. I just want to spar with you, Candice. No other intentions. Why bet so big?” Luofeng said.
Candice sneered inwardly.
If the stake isn’t big, winning ten billion won’t hurt Luofeng at all. How can she vent the anger she’s been holding back for so long?
“Haha, back then Luofeng, you won 5 billion from me without even blinking. Now, you’re afraid to bet against Candice?” William chimed in, staring at Luofeng. “Or are you sure you’ll lose to Candice, so you don’t want to bet big? If that’s the case, why even come to challenge Candice?”
Luofeng frowned.
Candice and William’s words were clearly provoking him.
“Didn’t you have full confidence that you could defeat William, so you bet 5 billion with him and made a fortune? Now, without confidence in victory, you don’t want to bet big?” Candice looked at Luofeng.
“Candice, you really want to bet 10 billion?” Luofeng frowned.
“Of course, that’s more fun!” Candice smiled.
“Alright, as you wish!” Luofeng replied.
He knew his own strength best!
In the past month, from losing more and winning less at the beginning of the duels, to winning more and losing less later, each life-and-death battle brought some understanding and progress. Luofeng believed that his strength had improved significantly compared to the beginning of this month. Even on the 25th, the trial tower level had already reached 3.4.
His strength had indeed improved greatly.
“Although I’m not fully confident, I probably have a 50% chance of winning, maybe even a bit higher! The pressure of a 10 billion bet might even push me to another breakthrough!” Luofeng thought to himself.
There were only three days left until August 1st!
If he wanted to reach a combat amplitude of 12, this high-stakes duel was also an opportunity.
“As you wish?” Candice slightly struggled with the Chinese phrase, then looked at Luofeng in surprise. “You mean you accept the 10 billion duel?”
“Yes, a 10 billion duel.” Luofeng nodded. “I’ll go back and submit the application to the system.”
“Great.” Candice smiled, but in her eyes, there seemed to be a flicker of flame—the flame of revenge.
