Swallowing the Stars: Cultivate to Become Stronger.

Chapter 44 Rewards in Hand

"Teacher, this is definitely cheating! We demand a thorough investigation into Luo Shen's grades!"

"Yes, cheating!"

"Even the most talented newcomer could never break into the top ten in their first month at the camp, especially in such a short time. Cheating, absolutely cheating!"

The students were all discussing the matter and demanding an explanation from the War God teacher around them.

A newcomer to the camp breaking into the top ten of the Black Dragon Rankings—is that even possible? Impossible, absolutely impossible! Such a monstrous genius has never appeared in the entire history of the training camp!

They simply couldn't believe that the gap between themselves and Luo Shen was so vast!

"This" group of War God teachers were also somewhat dumbfounded.

They looked at each other in bewilderment.

It is impossible to make it public, out of respect for the trainees, and because the training camp has never made the trainees' assessment process public before.

"How about we call the inspector?"

"As suggested by the God of War teacher."

Such a major event should be reported to the inspector, so that he can decide how to handle the situation.

All eyes turned to Yang Hui.

As Luo Shen's guide, he was naturally the most suitable person to inform the inspector here.

Yang Hui gave a bitter smile: "Then I'll call the inspector."

Family area of ​​the training camp.

Inspector Wang was meditating with his eyes closed in a quiet room on the second floor of his villa. This was his method of cultivation, and it was also the method of cultivation for the vast majority of powerful councilors.

"Buzz buzz buzz~" The cell phone on the table suddenly rang.

Slowly open your eyes.

Looking at the phone on the table, he was puzzled to see that the caller was Yang Hui.

Because all the teachers in the training camp knew very well that this was his usual training time, and unless there was something important, the other party would not disturb him.

"Has something happened?"

With that thought in mind, Inspector Wang reached for his phone and pressed the answer button: "Hello!"

Yang Hui's hurried voice came from the other side: "Inspector, I apologize for disturbing your cultivation, but I have a special matter to report to you."

Inspector Wang listened patiently to Yang Hui's report.

A look of surprise appeared in his eyes.

Luo Shen, that young man who had only been in the camp for less than a month, actually broke into the top ten of the training camp!?

He reached out and tapped the keyboard a few times, unlocking the room with his fingerprint. Suddenly, a projection appeared on one of the walls of the quiet room, displaying various information about the elite training camp participants.

Eyes locked on.

"Indeed, it has broken into the top ten of the rankings!" Inspector Wang nodded.

He continued operating the keyboard, clicked the mouse, and the screen switched, directly jumping to Luo Shen's personal profile information, which recorded all the information about Luo Shen's changes in the rankings today.

With a quick glance, Inspector Wang's pupils contracted slightly as his gaze fell on the column for the level of punching power.

The text clearly states that Luo Shen's punching power level is 5.5!

"A power level of 5.5!?"

Inspector Wang took a deep breath, and a complex emotion suddenly arose in his heart, because his punching power level was only 4, which was much lower than Luo Shen's!

"Truly a monster!" Inspector Wang sighed inwardly.

With a punching power level of 5.5, this means that even a beginner-level warrior can unleash a strike with power comparable to a senior-level warrior!

"Looks like we've struck gold this time."

Inspector Wang continued to look at Luo Shen's other records.

The reason why Luo Shen's ranking on the leaderboard has been rising is because of the increase in the Trial Tower level, from the initial 1 to 2.6, and the combat power amplitude has also increased to 14.3 (punch power level 5.5 * Trial Tower level 2.6)!

There are no problems with the ranking.

Yang Hui on the other end of the phone was still waiting for his reply.

"Yang Hui!" Inspector Wang replied into the phone, "Luo Shen's ranking is perfectly fine. The reason for his ranking jump is because his punching power level is high. As soon as the Trial Tower level increases, his combat power will increase dramatically."

"Yes, Inspector!"

Yang Hui's respectful voice came through the receiver.

The phone hangs up.

The light from the projection screen shone on Inspector Wang's face, revealing his thoughtful expression. After a long while, he finally made up his mind and dialed a phone number.

"Hello there."

A deep voice rang out.

"I am Inspector Wang Gang," Inspector Wang stated directly, "I'm calling today regarding the reward for training camp participant Luo Shen."

The contract that Luo Shen had previously signed contained two incentive and reward clauses.

First, if you make it into the top 100 of the Black Dragon Ranking within March, you will receive one Dragon Blood!

Secondly, if your combat power amplitude reaches 12 before May 1st, you can obtain a full set of 7-series combat uniforms and weapons, a complete set of any secret manuals, and a personal guidance and explanation from the Inspector!

Luo Shen's combat power amplitude has reached 14.3, far exceeding the required combat power amplitude of 12.

Therefore, there is no suspense regarding the distribution of the second reward.

The purpose of Inspector Wang's call was for this first reward clause.

Because the Black Dragon Ranking is constantly changing, under normal circumstances, even if Luo Shen has already broken into the top ten, he will have to wait until midnight on the 28th of the month, after the rankings are completely finalized, before he can receive this Dragon Blood reward.

With Luo Shen's abilities, it's only a matter of time before he receives the reward.

That being the case.

Issuing rewards early is not against regulations.

Most importantly, this also demonstrates the importance the Extreme Martial Arts Academy places on Luo Shen, preventing him from being easily lured away by those flashy (and ridiculous) martial arts academies outside.

"It seems that 50 billion is still too little," Inspector Wang sighed.

If we had known that Luo Shen would perform like this...

When making Li Yao pay the "ransom fee", he should also hand over the reward money from the previous 100 billion bounty!

******

With Inspector Wang's reply as evidence, the other students who questioned Luo Shen's cheating naturally had no chance to cause trouble.

Furthermore, since everyone can see the records, the challenge room was empty during this period, so it was impossible for someone to deliberately gamble on points.

In other words, Luo Shen truly earned his place in the top ten through his own merit.

After confirming this fact, the students became even more enthusiastic towards Luo Shen. Whether they were single or dating, all the female students flocked to him.

Even some female teachers couldn't help but look at Luo Shen with new respect.

The male trainees weren't much better off.

They all called Luo Shen their brother, hoping to quickly build a good relationship with him before he took off completely. Even if they couldn't get close to him, it would be good to chat with him and build rapport.

Luo Shen only managed to escape with great difficulty thanks to the help of a group of Huaxia students.

I just returned to my own private courtyard.

"Beep beep beep—" The phone rang.

He initially thought it was another call from a fellow student trying to build a relationship, since he had received countless such calls on the way back and was somewhat numb to them.

"Feed." He answered the call casually.

A deep voice rang out.

"Hello Luo Shen, this is a call from the Limitless Martial Arts Academy. You previously signed a contract with the academy, and according to our investigation, you have fulfilled two of the reward clauses. Your reward is a Dragon Blood worth 800 billion, a complete set of 7-element combat uniforms and weapons, any set of secret manuals, and personal guidance from the Inspector General. Is that correct?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Shen immediately straightened his back and said, "Yes, that's right!"

Although it was a bit strange that the dragon blood reward was being distributed so early, who cares? Anyway, it was a good thing for him. Getting the dragon blood sooner would allow him to improve his strength sooner!

The deep voice continued, "Please tell me all the detailed information about the combat suit and weapons you need, as well as the name of the set of secret manuals you require."

Luo Shen quickly reported information about his combat uniform, Ghost Shadow Blade, and other weapons and equipment.

The secret manual to choose from is naturally the complete set of "Ninefold Thunder Blade".

"The elite training camp is located within the headquarters city. This reward should be delivered to the main entrance of the training camp within an hour. You can go there to receive the reward," the deep voice said.

After saying that, he hung up the phone.
