"This speed... is it the fastest ever?"
"Maybe not?"
"The First Elder and Second Elder are definitely faster than him!"
"I'm talking about the students. The fastest from the basic training camp to the Elite Training Camp seems to be 24 minutes and 13 seconds, right?"
"I thought the God of War forum was exaggerating, but it looks like he's got some skills."
"This Jiang Li is really something!"
"Just A-Rank!"
The blonde man, referred to as 'William' by Zhao Ruo, chuckled. "Anyone who can enter the Elite Training Camp can pass the first level A-Rank test, can't they?!"
He was telling the truth. To advance from the Basic Training Camp, passing the A-Rank test on the first floor of the Trial Tower was one of the criteria.
Aside from special spots, those recruited from around the world generally had to pass the B-Rank test on the first floor of the Trial Tower.
"William!"
Zhao Ruo was a little annoyed. "How about we make a bet?"
"What's the bet?"
William touched his nose, looking like he was sure to win.
"We bet on whether Jiang Li can pass... the first floor?!"
Although Zhao Ruo had confidence in Jiang Li, it didn't seem to be much.
"First floor? How much are you betting!"
William was quite confident.
And at this moment.
"Look! He passed the B-Rank test too!"
"My God, what speed is this? Even faster than last time?"
"3 minutes and 11 seconds?"
"How did he do it!"
"My goodness! It's unbelievable!"
Young men and women from all over the Earth, of various skin colors, were expressing their astonishment in different languages.
"William, I bet 5 billion, you in?"
Zhao Ruo put her hands on her hips, looking confident.
"William, if he gambles with her, it's just over 40 billion rubles, you can afford it!" A young man from the Soviet Union egged him on.
"Novsky, you have money, you bet!"
"NONONO, I think the Invincible God of War can break through the first floor!"
Novsky shook a finger, saying, "If we're betting, let's bet on the second floor!"
Jiang Li was unaware of the escalating excitement outside.
Inside the 'Virtual Space'.
Jiang Li had already begun the first level C-Rank test.
As with the previous two times, his figure appeared on a grassland, and at the same time, several monster bulls, each three meters tall, appeared on the grass a hundred meters ahead.
"Jiang Li."
An electronic voice echoed throughout the vast grassland: "You have completed the first level B stage trial, and the next step is the C stage trial. The objective is to kill 200 Raging Bulls within 50 minutes. Among these 200 Raging Bulls, there are 190 Elementary Beast Generals and 10 Intermediate Beast Generals. Good luck!"
Jiang Li was calm and composed, not taking it seriously at all.
Although the Trial Tower restricted many of his abilities, such as not being able to use his mental power, and even the Dragon God Domain was unusable.
As a result, his current physical body was only at the level of a War General.
But!
Sword techniques have no restrictions!
Against monsters below the Lord level, it's not just one-hit kills, it's more like many-hit kills!
"Hoo... Hoo..."
Two hundred Raging Bulls bellowed, charging toward Jiang Li like a tidal wave, led by ten Beast Generals with fiery red horns. The ground trembled!
With Jiang Li's current physique as a mid-level war general, if he were hit head-on, he'd likely lose his combat ability and be trampled to death by the herd.
However!
Facing the charging Raging Bulls.
"Taiji Sword Intent!"
Jiang Li's eyes gleamed, and he charged directly at the herd with his Blood Shadow Battle Sword!
'Boom!'
With one strike, a mountain-shattering force blasted the herd apart, tearing them in two. A dozen Raging Bulls were sent flying.
"With my current agility, Beast Generals can't touch me at all!"
Jiang Li's sword light moved like a shadow, his form weaving like a dragon.
After comprehending the Body Movement Technique, his agility had already surpassed the subtle level. However, during normal combat, Jiang Li would use his mental power to cover his movements, rather than relying on his agility to dodge to the extreme!
He understood the principle of using one's full strength even when dealing with a small opponent.
"World Destruction!"
"Ninefold Thunderblade!"
"..."
Jiang Li's Blood Shadow Battle Sword became faster and faster, until it was just a blur of sword shadows!
With the last bull head being thrown, blood rippled in the sky and gradually disappeared.
The electronic voice rang out again.
"Time taken: 7 minutes 53 seconds. All 200 Raging Bulls eliminated. C-Rank trial passed! Congratulations, Student Jiang Li!"
"You have completed the first-level C-Rank trial. Next, you will advance to the second level!"
Elite Training Camp, ninth floor of the Ninefold Tower.
At this moment!
A sea of black heads, countless eyes were fixed on the line of text displayed on the screen outside the Trial Tower room.
Student Jiang Li, passed the first level C-Rank trial of the Trial Tower, time taken: 7 minutes 53 seconds.
For a time.
The vast ninth floor!
Silence reigned, you could hear a pin drop!
Even Yang Hui, Shi Jiang, and Zhao Ruo were staring blankly at the words.
"E-Eight... less than eight minutes to pass?"
William stammered, saying those words.
In his heart, he was even a little relieved, relieved that Jiang Li had cleared it quickly enough, saving him 5 billion!
"My God!"
"He only used 14 minutes and 31 seconds to clear the first floor in total?"
"This isn't a genius, it's a monster!"
"Compared to him? Are we even worthy of being called elites?"
The students who failed to pass the first floor immediately looked dejected.
Zhao Ruo, however, had bright eyes and stared at William, whose face was ashen. "Classmate..."
"Are you betting on the second floor?"
"Hmph!"
Faced with Zhao Ruo's relentless questioning, William's expression was terrible. He grunted and retreated from the crowd.
He was too fast!
So fast that even if William didn't believe Jiang Li could pass the second floor, he didn't dare to make a bet!
"Candice, answer the phone!"
And at this moment.
In the desolate area of City 1001, in a dilapidated old residence.
A blond-haired, blue-eyed man wearing a black combat suit sat alone on the ground, holding a waterskin in one hand to replenish his hydration.
As the first heir of the 'Polenas' family, one of the nine core HR families, Candice Polenas had never relaxed his standards for himself.
He was even more diligent now than before.
"Just a God of War!"
"What's the use of fast cultivation? So many Gods of War can only be Gods of War for life!"
"If it weren't for Hong..."
Candice took a small sip of water, a look of confusion in his eyes, but mostly disdain.
What invincible God of War, white-robed God of War, blood-blade God of War, for the Polenas family, those were just Gods of War!
The one who truly made them bow their heads was still that man who dominated the entire world!
"Hmm?"
Candice looked at the communication watch on his wrist: "It's William's call? Return the call!"
Candice issued the command, and the call was quickly connected.
"William, you're calling me in the wilderness area? Are you missing me?"
Even though the family had that incident, his mood was still good, because if nothing unexpected happened, he could break into the top 40 of the Black Dragon Ranking this month.
If he worked a little harder, he might be able to become the personal disciple of the world's number one powerhouse!
