One day later, people gradually entered the dormitory area from the training zone.
Just as Old Wang had said, these people were already wearing masks when they came in.
Of course, even if they weren't wearing masks, Jiang Kai figured he wouldn't recognize them anyway.
Excluding the day of the opening of training, a total of 78 trainees had arrived.
This morning, all the trainees gathered together at the central grounds.
There were three people not wearing masks, but they weren't trainees.
One was the instructor, Xiao Fei. One was the counselor, Ge Yunfei. One was Zheng Xue from the data department.
Xiao Fei looked about forty years old, around 1.8 meters tall, with a solid build. He had very short stubble at the corners of his mouth, short hair, and his face was stern and unsmiling, looking extremely strict.
Ge Yunfei looked much gentler.
Zheng Xue was a short-haired young woman, also the youngest, around twenty years old, and always holding an instrument that resembled a tablet.
Xiao Fei looked at the 78 trainees before him and said in a deep voice,
"No matter if you come from Huaxia's War God Hall, or the local War God Halls, or other places, what I want to say is, being able to participate in Huaxia's War God Hall special training camp is your honor!"
Jiang Kai stood in the last row, frowning slightly.
Wasn't this something Luo Shen and the others insisted he come to…
Xiao Fei didn't notice Jiang Kai's tiny expression, and continued,
"The slots for the training camp are always extremely tight. Even those from Huaxia's War God Hall need to queue up to participate. So not a single one of you can waste this training opportunity. I hope each of you brings out your full potential!"
"Also, I don't care what power you have behind you, who your countless relatives are, or what glorious achievements you obtained before. Once in the training camp, everyone is treated the same!"
"Only strength determines how much improvement you gain in the training camp, not connections or status!"
"Now, the rules of the training camp: first, you must not reveal your identity to anyone. Even if you know who the other person is, you must not mention it. Second, in these three months of training, you may not take leave for any reason. Third, as long as you don't kill anyone, private fighting in the training camp is not forbidden!"
Hearing the last rule, the people in navy blue clothes in the front row glanced at each other and smugly looked toward the back rows.
Those in azure blue clothes in the middle then smugly looked toward the last row.
The ones in gray clothes in the last row exchanged looks with each other.
From Xiao Fei's words, it wasn't just "not forbidden" to fight privately—it was practically "encouraged."
Clearly, the strongest were those from Huaxia's War God Hall, followed by the local War God Halls, and last were those "trial trainees."
Of course, even among the trial trainees there were strong and weak. Some had already reached Transcendent Level Five but had not yet entered the War God Hall. The weakest were like Jiang Kai—those who hadn't even reached Transcendent Level Five.
"Alright, the 74th War God Hall Training Camp officially begins. Old Ge, explain the training hall, training points, rankings, and the Three Sacred Halls."
Ge Yunfei nodded, stepped forward, and his tone was much softer.
"You've all seen it, right? That is the training hall." Ge Yunfei raised his head toward the towering great hall.
"In truth, it already existed on Ghost Star—it wasn't built by us. All we did was construct an outer shell over this special place."
Jiang Kai was quite surprised. This was an original "special place" on Ghost Star? This was the first time he'd heard that term.
"The training hall has appeared in almost every country. Unfortunately, Huaxia only has this one. For example, M Country, F Country, and others in the top ten rankings generally have two or three such special places."
"But luckily, although they may have more of them, the functions are the same as ours. It's just that some countries' special places have occasionally shown different functions. That's just something for you to be aware of."
Returning to the main point, Ge Yunfei continued,
"Our training hall has four levels—Heaven, God, Earth, and Transcendent. Each level is divided into 20 areas, meaning 20 training rooms. Currently, even our strongest War Gods can only enter the Transcendent-level training hall."
"As you all know, the training hall has many effects, especially significant for skill efficiency. Of course, it also improves other abilities. Some people may gain special attacks, attribute boosts, talent upgrades, and so on within the Transcendent-level hall. In general, the longer you last inside, the greater the chance of gaining multiple effects, and the stronger each single effect becomes."
"In the training hall, as time goes on, you will face greater challenges."
"Finally, based on how long you persist in the training hall, you'll receive corresponding training points. According to those points, we will rank all 78 of you."
"You will have three days to break through the training hall. Three days later, at 8 p.m., we will rank everyone's results, and based on the rankings, issue the access cards for the Three Sacred Halls. I must remind you, according to the rankings, most of you won't even have the chance to use the Three Sacred Halls!"
"The functions of the Three Sacred Halls I won't explain in detail—you've already been introduced to them before."
"Another thing about private fights—the arena is right behind the Three Sacred Halls. There you can challenge someone. Both sides can bet their training points. Note: you must not kill your opponent in the duel. If you accidentally do, you'll be penalized with a deduction of points."
"Lastly, Zheng Xue here provides data analysis services. If you want to know what specific aspect you should focus on improving, you can ask her for technical data analysis."
After finishing, Ge Yunfei stepped back again.
Xiao Fei said directly,
"That's it. Now you can begin breaking through the training hall. There's plenty of time, so don't rush. Dismissed!"
The sooner they challenged, the sooner they could recover, so many people immediately rushed toward the training hall.
Unfortunately, the front row had the advantage, almost completely blocking the way ahead.
The ten-plus gray-clothed people saw they couldn't compete and most didn't move.
Jiang Kai originally wanted to compete, but when he saw that the others in gray hadn't moved, he hesitated for just a moment and lost his chance.
Since he couldn't be the first to enter the training hall, Jiang Kai could only take second-best—he thought of asking Zheng Xue for an analysis.
But several people had already surrounded Zheng Xue tightly.
Seeing this scene, Jiang Kai could only give up, sighing as he walked toward the Three Sacred Halls.
"Sacred Fire, Sacred Water, Sacred Spirit… But hey, I only have some flame abilities. Wu Tu and the Drunkard both got class-specific special attacks after becoming Transcendent. How come I, the Gambler, don't have one?"
Flame abilities were elemental attacks. Actually, they weren't rare—many classes could have elemental powers.
"If I could just have my own class special attack, that'd be great." Jiang Kai stood before the Sacred Spirit Hall.
At that moment, someone behind him called out,
"Hey, don't you want the service I'm offering?"
Jiang Kai turned back in surprise.
It was Zheng Xue, holding her instrument, tilting her head and smiling at him.
"You…" Jiang Kai quickly looked at the others. Weren't they all surrounding her just now?
"Oh, for data analysis, you need to go to the ordinary training area, and it consumes a lot of energy. They all want to break into the training hall quickly, so they said they wouldn't test for now."
"And, I know who you are." Zheng Xue added quietly, blinking at Jiang Kai. "Your data is the most incredible I've seen in all my years of research. So, I'm especially interested in you…"
Jiang Kai frowned and blinked.
Was this peach blossom luck coming his way? Or was she really just interested in his data?
For someone like him, who had absolutely no experience in romance, distinguishing between the two was practically impossible!
"Damn, I forgot to ask Hu Yan to calculate my marriage fate!"
"So, do you want to test it out?" Zheng Xue's bright eyes sparkled as she looked at Jiang Kai.
"T-test it then… test it."
