Swallowing the Stars: Starting with the Steel of the Heart

After officially moving into the Thunder Martial Arts Elite Training Camp, Xiang Bei wasn't in a hurry to go out and hunt monsters to increase his maximum health.

It wasn't for anything else, but because of the battle that tested him in A, his understanding of his own "Po Jun" halberd technique had reached a new level. Now he has gradually mastered the second level of "Po Jun", which is 1.8 times the power.

Therefore, he planned to use the time before the training camp officially started to solidify his "Breaking Army" halberd technique.

After all, in the world of Swallowed Star, one cannot completely crush all enemies simply by relying on physical strength.

Combat power amplitude is also a large part of strength.

Not to mention anything else, a high-level general with a combat power amplitude of 12 could even easily defeat a mid-level day-class war god.

According to the Elite Training Camp's assessment, Combat Power Amplitude = Power Amplitude × Trial Tower Level

Xiang Bei's power level is currently 1.8, and his Trial Tower level is 1.3.

The combat power fluctuation was only 2.34.

They were definitely at the bottom of the elite training camp.

He certainly didn't want to end up at the bottom of the standings three times and be relegated to the basic training camp.

He can't afford to lose face like that!

Time flies, and two more days have passed.

In the past two days, Xiang Bei also met two students who were also from Xia Country.

Both of them were students who chose not to go home to rest during the holiday, but instead continued their training at the camp.

One person named Sun Ruoruo ranked 70th in the training camp. She entered the training camp last year, but has been hovering at the bottom of the camp. This year, in order not to be eliminated from the training camp, she simply chose to train hard in the training camp.

One of them, named Fu Bin, came from Zhongdu Base City. He ranked seventh in the training camp. This year was his last year in the training camp, and he would graduate and leave next year. Therefore, he cherished his time in the elite training camp and did not leave.

The two were exceptionally welcoming to Xiang Bei and his companions, and even had a small dinner together that evening. However, the two disappeared the next day and began their arduous cultivation.

Xiang Bei, naturally unwilling to fall behind, devoted his main energy to cultivating the "Po Jun" technique.

Two days was enough for Xiang Bei to solidify the second level of "Po Jun".

Speaking of which, ever since Xiang Bei awakened the Heart Steel, the massive snowball effect of the Giant Devourer has brought him a huge boost!

At the same time, his own cultivation speed also seemed to have increased significantly compared to before!

Even his comprehension is much stronger than before.

He originally thought that even with some Xiang family halberd techniques as a foundation, it would take until around September or October to cultivate the second level of "Po Jun".

And now, before September, his "Po Jun" has already completed its second level.

He also had a movement technique at the level of "Entering the Subtle," which he hadn't expected to master, but it actually reached that level during his ten days of training in the wild.

Then a few more days passed.

Xiang Bei also took advantage of the fact that not all the trainees in the training camp had returned to use the gravity chamber a few times.

Unfortunately, it can only be used for 3 hours a day.

Furthermore, the gravity chamber at the Thunder Martial Arts Elite Training Camp is not the original; it's a pirated product made by Earth scientists, and the maximum gravity it can reach is only 3 times.

Anything beyond that is beyond the capabilities of current technology.

Xiang Bei didn't mind, after all, having something useful was better than having nothing at all.

However, after several days of training, Xiang Bei's strength has increased significantly again, and he has now officially entered the level of a mid-level warrior.

In other words, in just a few months, Xiang Bei became the one with the highest cultivation level among the three generations of the Xiang family.

Even in terms of power exertion, halberd techniques, and movement skills, she is no less skilled than her older brothers and sisters!

Meanwhile, the other trainees in the training camp gradually returned to the camp.

After Xiang Bei and others moved into the training camp, Xia Guoguan welcomed two new members.

They all improved from the basic training camp.

One of them is from Jiangnan Base City and is from the same hometown as the original protagonist, Luo Feng.

The other person was a tall and strong man from the Northeast Base City, who looked to be over two meters tall. However, he spoke very enthusiastically and quickly became friends with everyone.

Soon it was the day the training camp opened, and Xiang Bei and the others were gathered in the training camp square.

Xiang Bei originally thought that the Thunder Martial Arts School would also be going to do some kind of long-winded lecture.

Unexpectedly, the Thunder Martial Arts Academy simply sent a War God to explain some rules to the new students before dismissing them.

After all, time is precious in training camp.

Instead of going on and on, it would be better to cultivate for a while or go out and hunt a few monsters to earn some points.

The Thunder Martial Arts Elite Training Camp was modeled after the Extreme Training Camp, and many of its rules were copied directly.

For example, the points system is the same: one point for killing a low-level beast general, 10 points for a medium-level beast general, and 100 points for a high-level beast general.

1000 points for a beginner-level lord monster.

Then, multiply the monster kill points by the combat power amplitude to get your total personal score!

In addition, there are the benefits and perks of the elite training camp.

There are 30 replica gravity chambers in the elite training camp, which can be said to have cost Thunder Martial Arts School a great deal of money.

Although the effects of this replica gravity chamber are far from comparable to the original, its large quantity allows each student at Thunder Martial Arts School to dedicate a significant amount of time to it.

The Thunder Martial Arts Elite Training Camp has a total of 108 students.

The first-place winner gets to occupy a gravity chamber and can cultivate whenever they want.

The second to eighteenth place winners can use the gravity chamber for 12 hours a day.

The nineteenth to thirty-sixth ranked individuals can use the gravity chamber for nine hours per day.

The 37th to 72nd ranked individuals can use the gravity chamber for 6 hours per day.

From the 73rd to the last person, each person can use the gravity chamber for 3 hours per day.

In other words, Xiang Bei will have three hours of gravity chamber usage time every day from now on.

In addition, there is the use of virtual reality headsets, and Xiang Bei currently has one hour of usage time per month.

Of course, as a newcomer, Xiang Bei has one hour of usage time in his first month, plus a ranking opportunity with no time limit. The trial ends whenever he is eliminated from the Trial Tower.

Xiang Bei naturally wanted to save this opportunity for the end of the month, as he wanted to test how far he could go in the Trial Tower.

There are also some training camp rewards that require meeting certain requirements.

If you achieve the number one ranking for nine consecutive months, you will receive a Dragon Blood, three free sets of complete manuals, and the option to choose either Hong or Lei Shen as your teacher, among other benefits.

Finally, there's the time for students to train and go out to hunt monsters to earn points.

This timeframe depends on each participant's ranking in the training camp.

Students ranked in odd numbers train at the training camp on odd-numbered days of the month and go out to hunt monsters to earn points on even-numbered days.

Those with even-numbered rankings are similar.

The final points accumulation period ends at midnight on the 28th of each month.
