Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Steel of the Heart

The Trial Tower's tests are extremely difficult for ordinary martial artists, after all, it's almost impossible for an average martial artist to resist being attacked by fifty bulls of the same level.

However, every martial artist who can come here is a genius selected from among thousands in various base cities.

With so many people and martial artists in a base city, only one or two geniuses might make it here in a year.

Therefore, those who have made it this far are naturally highly skilled!

Min Cheng even passed the A-level test in a shorter time than Xiang Bei, which is not surprising to Xiang Bei. After all, Xiang Bei is a top genius cultivated by the entire Xia Kingdom's military with countless efforts, and his combat talent must be outstanding. An A-level test is naturally not a problem for him.

"Alright, first of all, congratulations to you two little ones for passing the test. From today onwards, you are official members of the elite training camp." Belinda smiled charmingly, her azure eyes sweeping over the two of them, her tone languid and casual.

"Next, I'll tell you about the basics of the elite training camp."

"First of all, most of the members of the elite training camp are still on vacation and will officially enter the camp on September 1st. You can wander around the training camp these few days and get familiar with it. Of course, if you don't want to waste time, you can also use the training camp's facilities these few days. However, there are still some trainees staying in the training camp, so you will need to queue if you want to use the facilities."

Secondly, I need to tell you that the elite training camp uses a bottom-ranking elimination system. You've all seen the statue at the entrance of the training camp; the dragon scales on the statue display the ranking of all the trainees' points.

The academy's points are cleared and reset at the beginning of each month, continuing until midnight on the 28th of each month. Students who rank in the bottom three for three consecutive months are directly eliminated and enter the basic training camp.

Last year, the elite training camp had a total of 108 students, and 21 of them graduated in July. Therefore, the training camp plans to recruit 11 students from outside and promote 10 students from the basic training camp.

Of course, if any of the eleven people recruited from outside fail the A-level test, they will be downgraded to the basic training camp, and then the spots in the elite training camp will be filled from the basic training camp.

Of course, advancing from the basic training camp to the elite training camp also requires passing the A-level test. If you fail, the elite training camp will rather have none than accept someone of poor quality.

Are there only 108 students?

The number of students in the Thunder Martial Arts Elite Training Camp was vastly different from the number of students in the Extreme Martial Arts Elite Training Camp in his memory, even by a factor of two.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. After all, the Thunder Martial Arts Elite Training Camp was built by Thunder God in imitation of the Ultimate Martial Arts Academy. Thunder God did not have many of the precious resources that Hong invested in it, and even the performance of the imitation was very different. It is not surprising that the Thunder Martial Arts Elite Training Camp recruits fewer students.

"However, you have already passed the test, so you don't need to worry about these issues now. Just be careful not to be at the bottom for three consecutive months."

"By the way, we need to enter your rankings next. It's August 2052 now, but our training camp starts in September. So, the top four will be 5209. You guys will have to decide the last two. What are your thoughts, kids?"

"10." Xiang Bei thought for a moment and decided to end with his birth month.

"Okay, little guy, your number is 520910, and your current ranking is, well, 101st. It seems that three people have already passed the test before you." After Belinda connected and operated the smart watch, Xiang Bei's ranking appeared directly in front of him.

"And what about you, little one?"

"01," Min Cheng said directly, his eyes sharp. Clearly, this military genius had a very clear goal: to reach the top in this training camp.

"No, you can't. Number 01 is already taken. If you want to use it, you'll have to start from 11. Hmm. Numbers 12, 13, and 20 are also taken." Belinda shook her head and said softly.

"Then let's go with 11," Min Cheng said helplessly, his will to reach the top already thwarted before it even began.

"Okay, then your number is 520911, ranking 102." Belinda nodded and directly entered Min Cheng's number.

"Alright, next I'll take you to your accommodations. Your accommodations are divided by country according to the elite training camp. You two are from Xia Country, so you'll be staying in the Xia Country section."

With that, Belinda led Xiang Bei and the other man toward an area to the east.

Before long, the group arrived at a spacious villa area.

"Little ones, this is the Xia Kingdom Pavilion. There are 25 villas in total, and 16 of them are currently occupied. You can choose any of the remaining 9 to live in." With that, Belinda sent the occupancy information of the Xia Kingdom Pavilion to the two of their smartwatches.

"Alright, that's all for now. You can figure out the rest yourselves. I'll head back now. Oh, by the way, remember to be there for the official start of the Elite Training Camp on September 1st."

Belinda winked at the two of them, then turned and left.

After Belinda left, Xiang Bei and the other man exchanged a glance and smiled at each other.

"Let's get to know each other again. I'm from BJ City." Xiang Bei extended his hand and smiled.

Previously, under the watchful eyes of several war gods, the group could not communicate with each other and could only cautiously follow orders.

Now that the war gods have all departed, it's natural for them to get to know each other.

"Min Cheng, from the Northwest Base City." Min Cheng also extended his hand and shook hands with Xiang Bei.

He was an outstanding genius in the military of the Northwest Base City. He had already become a senior soldier while still in military school. Later, he received great training from the military and is now a mid-level general.

"If you encounter any difficulties in the future, you can come to me. We both come from Xia Country, so we should help each other." Min Cheng smiled sheepishly, but his expression was unusually serious.

"Of course, as fellow Xia people, we should naturally unite against external threats," Xiang Bei nodded in agreement.

Are we in a foreign land? We're all Xia people, so we're the best alliance. If we're not united against external forces, why are we not united against internal ones?

After exchanging pleasantries, the two began to choose their accommodations. According to the map sent by Belinda, there were nine villas in the Xia Kingdom Pavilion that were unclaimed, and Xiang Bei and his companion could freely enter and visit until they chose one they liked.

They didn't have any particular needs for this place, so they simply chose a quiet villa in a corner and moved in.

The villa is fully equipped with amenities, including a washing machine, computer, and other daily necessities, which can fully meet Xiang Bei's living needs.

The training camp also has its own canteen, and meals are delivered daily after reservations are made.

These trainees wouldn't waste their precious time cooking for themselves.
