“There are indeed no good talents.”
“There’s only Xiao Ziyun. He underwent targeted training a year in advance, the few consultants at the Guangnan Branch Office also went to great lengths.”
Inside the campsite, not far out, six people started chatting.
All of them were instructors. On average, each of them were responsible for managing 50 admitted trainees. During the first two days of their admission, the chief instructor would be in charge of the trainees. They would only be divided into groups for training after the entry test.
During every special training camp, there would be one chief instructor and six instructors.
Put simply, the special training camp was just like a school with only one grade, divided into six classes. The six instructors are teachers while the chief instructor is the dean.
“Oh right.”
“I heard that three dangerous gods suddenly appeared over at North Lake Province, the military sent an impromptu requisition to all consultants in the neighboring areas to rush over to provide support?”
One of them asked.
His gaze was a little lowered. He had a darker skin color, like he had been tanned since a young age. His face was chiseled, his muscles were prominent but he was very skinny. His entire being was like a long spear that tore through the skies. His body was perfectly upright, standing like a pine tree.
“Yes.” Someone took over and went on, “They summoned a total of 12 consultants. Yunhai’s Fang Nanxun and Liu Sheng both went. They barely managed to stop the gods through joint efforts with the forces from the military, there were no casualties.”
“Oh.”
The tanned person nodded and did not say more.
Only when he heard Fang Nanxun’s name, an inexplicable gleam flashed across his eyes. He was Li Guanglei, registered Transcendent number 5039 of the Yellow River Organization, Hua Country. He was from Yunhai City.
…
On the other side.
The brawny chief instructor led the masses into the campsite.
All four sides of the campsite were mountains, it had the terrain of a small basin. The huge campsite was located in the center of many mountains.
Earlier, they had been enveloped in the night, it was dark and everyone could not see clearly.
Right now, it was dawn. The sky was lighting up. Many special training camp trainees instantly got a clear look of the campsite that was made up of multi-storied buildings.
There were only four of the buildings and the tallest only had two levels. The buildings were dark and no light could be soon. It could be that they were uninhabited.
As for the center of the campsite, vast areas of tempered glass were laid on the ground.
Simple and plain yet it appeared to be grand and magnificent.
Guo Bojun bowed his head. “A campsite with only four buildings, bearings unknown… the cradle of Transcendents, gods from the other dimension. What is going on.”
It was a mess in Guo Bojun’s heart, he no longer had the thought of returning to Yunhai as soon as possible to take over his family company.
It was the same for everyone.
The mysterious special training camp was seen in its entirety at this moment.
Tang Hong pondered inwardly and stole a glance. “The area beneath that sheet of tempered glass should be empty. It is either the core area of the campsite, or a special training ground.”
His thoughts flowed as he continued to walk straight following the burly man.
Footsteps were scattered and reverberated in the air.
300 people were all silent.
After experiencing the low roaring from the brawny man, the special training camp trainees realized that this place was entirely different from the normal world outside.
The key words were Transcendents and gods.
The former was alright but the latter was frightful to the ear, do gods really exist?
“Everyone!”
“Look up!”
The burly man suddenly yelled. Some people were so startled that they jumped. Following the lines of sight of the people around them, they saw a massive metallic sculpture, it stood squarely on everyone’s left.
Meeting the rays of the morning sun, the sculpture carried a metallic luster.
Rising from the ground, it was about 10 meters tall and 15 meters long.
This was a massive light-colored platinum monument carved with a large number of names!
“On this…”
“Every name represents an official member.”
Everyone was wide-eyed.
Listening to the burly man’s introduction, everyone secretly bore everything in mind: In-camp trainees become official members after successfully completing the camp, above that would then be Transcendents.
As he spoke, the burly man pointed to the rectangular frame at the top of the huge monument.
There were strange decorative patterns at the edges of the frame and it was divided into a series of small boxes. There were photographs mounted into them, there were names and lines of small words.
An even more detailed description.
There seemed to be an indescribable chasm pull opened between the boxes in the frame at the top and the names on the monument’s surface below, a disparity that was a whale of difference.
A distinctive honor.
“These people.” The brawny man went on, “Are the most outstanding Transcendents in the special training camp. Only those who become Transcendents before passing out are qualified to have this privilege.”
“And you people.”
“So long as you’ve left your name on the monument, it means that you have passed this special training and officially passed out.”
“According to the performance of past batches, at least 200 people will get the memory erased and return to normal life. If we can have 90 people leave their names on the monuments and clinch the qualification of an official member, that would be a pretty good performance.”
“I don’t have any expectations regarding this!”
“Remember!”
“On the path to Transcendency, this is only the beginning!”
“As for the gods from the other dimensions, they exist in all forms, they absolutely fit everyone’s fantasies about gods… of course, you don’t have to be too worried. That thing isn’t difficult to kill, they die once dozens of Transcendents charge forward together and surround it. Situations where you have to fight solo essentially do not exist.”
…
Some people felt a chill run down their back.
Erasing memories, a leading technique that only exists in sci-fi movies had really come into being?
According to reason, such an equipment would definitely spark heated discussions on the internet.
…
Some people were nervous and restless.
The metal monument had given everyone great pressure.
…
Some were full of excitement, wishing to immediately throw themselves into training and become a Transcendent as soon as possible.
Killing gods.
What a noble miracle. As for what existences the gods were, everyone was trying to imagine.
“Angels that descend from heaven?”
“Visitors from another dimension, they must be have bizarre and alien appearances.”
“They could be higher lifeforms, gods sound a little too exaggerated, how is it possible for humans to kill gods.”
After whispering for a while, there was yet to be anyone who wished to drop out from the special training camp for the time being.
Apart from the fact that their families had paid huge prices to get them these slots, just these shocking and incredible tales that this burly man had revealed was already really startling.
“This is a classified area drawn out by the military.”
“Other than the Yellow River Organization, the other organizations also have special training camps here. You ought to rejoice that you get to have exclusive use of the entire campsite and not have to share with the other organizations.”
This meant that there were also special training camps of other organizations nearby?
Tang Hong’s eyes gleamed.
He heard the brawny man’s voice reverberating again, “Accommodation and meals are on ground, the special training location is underground. Now I will speak briefly about the admission process: the two buildings behind the campsite are your lodging, six-man or eight-man rooms. The daily necessities are all in the dormitories, look for them yourselves.”
“The ones with glass doors are for females.”
“Go in and rest immediately, gather at 12 noon to eat. There will be someone bringing you around in the afternoon to get acquainted with the various rules of the special training camp. 7PM, entrance test!”
“The entrance test is very important.”
“The special training camp will provide the individual information scale on body constitution and willpower.”
When he was done.
His gaze was like an eagle’s as he surveyed them and pointed at one person among the many trainees.
“Xiao Ziyun!”
“You get a single room!”
The brawny man brought out a shabby silver key. Xiao Ziyun went forward peacefully and took the key.
“Dismissed!”
The burly man yelled.
The next moment.
Thoughts flashing, Tang Hong who had deliberated again and again pushed out of the quiet crowd and said in a clear voice, “Excuse me, what do we have to do to get a single room?”
“Eh?”
The burly man’s eyes glared, tremendous willpower was like a dark cloud cover as he directly locked onto Tang Hong.
That feeling…
It was like a pistol with its safety turned off being pressed hard against his temples!
Tang Hong’s heart pounded wildly, his blood flow accelerated and he forced himself to endure the pressure and not reveal any abnormalities.
Within seconds, he thought of a lot.
Had he gone back to the segment of eating his own words where people love to see and hear?
Tang Hong didn’t mind that, the key was whether he would he able to do so given his current level?
The number one seed, Xiao Ziyun was only a tiny bit away from breaking the limits of willpower!
Just as he was lost in his wild thoughts, he saw the brawny man exposing his white teeth with a smile. “Not bad, you have courage, I’m now a little optimistic about you… hmm, your name?”
“Tang Hong.”
Tang Hong answered.
The brawny man nodded and tossed another silver key to him. “Dismissed!”
“Sir, I would like to apply for a single room too!”
“Scram!”
The first dawn when 300 special training camp trainees were admitted ended with these two sentences.
…
The second level of the buildings that were painted a dark gray.
Deng, deng, deng.
Close to a hundred people went up the stairs, nobody spoke. At this time, no one was in the mood to chat.
At the end of the second level were two single rooms that were right across each other. Following the room number, Tang Hong used the key to twist open the lock. Entering his sights was a room, the furnishings were simple but not shabby.
There were four to five stools, a glass tea table and a bed.
The environment was slightly better than that of express hotels. The only con was the lack of lights, only the bright moonlight spilled into the room.
“I’d guessed right.”
“He was only establishing an imposing air for himself earlier.” Tang Hong heaved a light breath of relief but felt confused at the same time.
Making everyone stand till daybreak for no reason at all, could it be that there was also a cause for that.
At this moment.
Xiao Ziyun walked to his door and turned back to look at Tang Hong. “Aren’t you scared?”
“I am.”
Tang Hong nodded in admission. Who wouldn’t be afraid. He was terrified at heart at that point, but he had to clarify his doubts. Otherwise, it probably would be really troublesome if he asked for a single room after the dormitory arrangements had been settled.
Since he had to do so sooner or later, he might as well state his request on the first day.
After all, it was one less point of individual value with each day, that was 30 points in a month, it was too big a loss.
“Oh.”
Xiao Ziyun let out a breath. He thought that Tang Hong was innately bold, he didn’t expect that he had been afraid too. “You are really courageous, but becoming a Transcendent requires more than courage.”
