"Let's make a bet, young man!"

After Wang Yi passed the virtual space test and officially became a student of the elite training camp, his name appeared on the Black Dragon rankings of the Extreme Martial Arts Club's Elite Training Camp as "No. 184 Wang Yi (560630)".

For his code name, Wang Yi casually chose the date he entered the training camp, as he was the only newcomer that month.

When Wang Yi's name appeared on the Black Dragon rankings of the world's top training camp, the news quickly spread across the globe, reaching the five major powers, the HR underground alliance, and various prominent families, consortia, and special organizations.

That same day, all these institutions and organizations received detailed information about Wang Yi. Everything from his birth, high school graduation, joining the Extreme Martial Arts Gym, to the people he interacted with was thoroughly recorded.

Upon learning this, a special department in Huaxia Kingdom immediately began monitoring and protecting the people close to Wang Yi, including, of course, his three girlfriends.

Different organizations also prepared various plans to recruit Wang Yi. The Jiangnan Pavilion is where students from Jiangnan Base City live, consisting of three separate pavilions. There are 52 such yards in total.

Since Wang Yi hails from Jiangnan Base City, he naturally resides in Jiangnan Pavilion, where two other students already live.

According to Wang Yi's understanding, the 1st to the 28th of each month is the time to earn points. On the 29th, the results are calculated, and the final ranking for the month is determined. At the start of the new month, all points reset to zero, and the students must earn points again to compete for rankings.

The students are divided into two groups based on odd and even numbers. Each group spends half the month hunting monsters to gain points and climb the Black Dragon rankings.

This ranking is determined by multiplying the 'combat power amplitude' by the points.

The higher the ranking, the more resources and rewards the student can receive.

Besides Wang Yi, the two other students in Jiangnan Pavilion are Shi Jiang and Zhao Ruo, both from Jiangnan Base City. Based on the original story, Shi Jiang is quite strong and has been in the training camp since year 53. He now ranks in the top 15 (originally in the top five after one year). Zhao Ruo, however, struggles to even break into the top 100.

The top 30 students in the training camp generally possess the strength of a God of War.

Despite this, Wang Yi didn't seek out any deliberate interaction with them. When he didn't see them while settling into the pavilion, he simply ignored it.

On the second floor of Jiangnan Pavilion, in a quiet study, Wang Yi sat holding a white porcelain cup, sipping tea while reading a student handbook on his laptop.

"Instructions for students."

"Training room, challenge room, gravity room..." Wang Yi muttered familiar terms from memory with a strange smile on his face.

Then his eyes landed on the ranking rewards.

"Rank first each month. If you achieve first place nine times in total, you can obtain dragon blood worth 80 billion, choose any three complete sets of techniques, and have 'Hong' or 'Thunder God' as your master, becoming one of their personal disciples."

Wang Yi shook his head. While he knew he could eventually rank first each month, waiting nine months felt too long.

Techniques? Too slow to practice!

Becoming a disciple of "Hong" or "Thunder God"? Perhaps others would be ecstatic at the chance, but Wang Yi had a cheat ability, his "gold finger." He had surpassed them in vision and ability thanks to memories from his past life. With his cheats, he knew it was only a matter of time before he surpassed them both, so he didn't need their help!

Considering all this, the rewards offered by the training camp weren't as appealing as one might imagine.

Dragon blood, a treasure that rapidly enhances physical fitness, was far more attractive to him!

At present, Wang Yi's physical strength was only around 24,000 kilograms, putting him at the middle level.

His mental power was probably at the mid-level of a beginner God of War.

Of course, going to the training camp was still necessary. For instance, Wang Yi's body techniques and swordsmanship could be instantly elevated to the "artistic conception" level, thanks to his cheat abilities gained by training there.

But what Wang Yi desired most now was an improvement in physical fitness and overall strength!

Especially physical fitness. Reaching the star level would mark a significant transformation!

Wang Yi continued reading.

"Fist force level 6: Receive 80 billion worth of dragon blood, SS-level combat uniforms, a complete set of weapons..."

"Trial tower level 5: Obtain the title of 'Inspector' of the Extreme Martial Arts Club, 80 billion worth of dragon blood, SS-level combat uniforms, a complete set of weapons, three full sets of techniques, access to ancient civilization relics, and the 'Black God' set..."

While Wang Yi was studying the 'Student Handbook' in Jiangnan Pavilion, information about him had already reached the top levels of the Extreme Martial Arts Club.

Because of his extraordinary talent, Wang Yi's situation was immediately reported and garnered significant attention among the higher-ups at the Club.

Except for the gym's owner, 'Hong', who was still in seclusion, the five inspectors of the Extreme Martial Arts Club, each of whom were beyond the level of God of War, gathered in a mysterious conference hall in virtual space for a meeting.

After much debate, they finally decided on Wang Yi's treatment.

Inspector Wang, stationed at the headquarters, was assigned to handle the matter.

The next day, on the morning of July 1st, Wang Yi, who had turned down a reception banquet prepared by his fellow students, woke up early, as usual, despite resting late the night before.

In the training camp, it wasn't uncommon to see young people of various ethnicities, all dressed in workout clothes.

Naturally, Wang Yi, an unfamiliar face from China, caught some attention.

"Hey!"

Wang Yi deliberately walked around areas with high foot traffic, and soon enough, a voice with a heavy foreign accent called out from behind him.

A strange smile appeared on Wang Yi's face, quickly vanishing.

He turned around with a puzzled expression, looking at a group of white youths jogging toward him.

"Are you calling me?"

"Yes, that's right, our friend from China!" The group of white youths quickly surrounded Wang Yi, smiling with an overly enthusiastic look on their faces.

After exchanging brief glances, one tall, slim, blond youth stepped forward, grinning broadly. "Let me introduce myself. I'm Archer Leolock from the European Union. I'm a huge fan of Chinese martial arts. I've always dreamed of competing against geniuses from China. Would you be interested in sparring with me?"

"A competition?" Wang Yi hesitated. "But isn't private fighting prohibited in the training camp?"

"No worries," Archer quickly reassured. "We can go to the challenge room and have a duel there, which won't violate the camp's rules."
