Swallowing the Stars: Cultivate to Become Stronger.

Chapter 47 Renates's Challenge

3 month 23 day.

Europe, the Bolenas family residence, inside Vinina's detached villa.

"Auntie, those people in the family are so snobbish!"

Candice couldn't help but say angrily.

At the family meeting that just ended, several elders simultaneously attacked Candace, laying bare all the wrong decisions he had made recently, especially his falling out with Luo Shen, which they repeatedly brought up.

There were even subtle hints from clan elders.

Let Candice apologize to Luo Shen and mend their relationship!

The blonde woman, Vinina, looked at the video image of her nephew, Candice, on the giant screen and comforted him, "Don't pay attention to those clowns. With your aunt and uncle here, no one can take away your status as the first in line to inherit the mantle!"

As a high-ranking war goddess, Vinina had the confidence to say such things.

After the death of her only son, Li Wei, Vinina has focused all her attention on her nephew, Candace, and has transferred all the energy she previously devoted to Li Wei to him.

Moreover, Vinina was also aware of this.

The reason why Candace is in such an embarrassing situation today is largely due to them.

If it weren't for Li Wei's affair, Candace wouldn't have clashed with Luo Shen, and if he hadn't lost that 50 billion, his position in the family wouldn't have been affected.

"Luo Shen!" The mere thought of that name filled Vinina with rage.

Ultimately, it was all his fault!

"How is Luo Shen doing lately?" Vinina asked.

The saying goes, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated."

Although they could also find out about Luo Shen through their family members, no matter how capable the family members were, they couldn't be placed in the training camp. Therefore, Candice, who was also in the training camp, knew more about the situation.

Candice couldn't help but sigh.

"Aside from hunting monsters, he spends most of his time cultivating in his courtyard or the Nine-Story Tower, and does almost nothing else. However, his ranking has already entered the top five."

Top five in the training camp.

Those were opponents that even Yang Hui, a mid-level War God, wasn't confident he could defeat; each of them possessed at least the strength of a mid-level War God!

"Hmph, daring to kill my Wei'er, I'll make him pay with his blood sooner or later!" Vinina glared angrily. "If he has the guts, let him stay in Hongning Base City and never leave, otherwise I'll make sure he dies a horrible death!"

Fortunately, Luo Shen was an orphan and had no family ties.

Otherwise, given Vinina's ruthless methods in controlling the HR Alliance's China region for so many years, she could definitely make them wish they were dead.

After all, her title is "Scorpion"!

"Don't worry, Auntie. By August at the latest, all the trainees in the training camp will need to undergo life-or-death training. That will be the best time for us to make our move!" Candice said.

August is a month of life-or-death adventures.

The elite training camp allows its participants to go home in January and February each year.

Of the other ten months, nine were very safe, either in the training camp or in City 1001 in the wilderness area, which was under close surveillance by the training camp. During these nine months, deaths were rare in the training camp.

Even the most reckless Li Yao wouldn't dare cause trouble under Hong's nose.

But August is different.

This is a month of life-or-death adventure. All trainees will leave the training camp, board a passenger plane, and head to a dangerous place for a month of adventure!

The mortality rate for ordinary martial artists is relatively high in the wilderness.

Although elite trainees are of a higher standard and have more ways to protect themselves, making them difficult to kill, there is still a mortality and elimination rate of nearly 10% among the trainees in elite training.

Most importantly, during this month, the trainees were completely left to their own devices.

Even if they are killed by human martial artists, it can only be blamed on their lack of strength.

The training camp is only responsible for nurturing and providing the best resources and conditions, but whether one can truly survive and become a super strong person depends entirely on oneself.

"August... Hmph... Let him live a few more months!"

If she could, Vinina would even like to capture Luo Shen right now and torture him horribly to console the spirit of her son Li Wei in heaven.

Just hung up the phone.

"Candice, Candice!"

Then William hurriedly pushed open the door and walked in, his voice urgent: "That Chinese guy's ranking has risen again!"

Upon hearing this, Candace's expression changed: "Promoted again?"

It's worth noting that once Luo Shen emerged and broke into the top ten of the rankings, the entire rankings became incredibly competitive, with almost everyone desperately trying to climb higher and achieve a good result.

Those in the top ten, in particular, are all feeling insecure.

Even so, Luo Shen was like a tightly wound toy, relentlessly pursuing his lead. Anyone who relaxed even slightly would be overtaken instantly.

"I just came back from the Black Dragon Sculpture; he's already moved up to third place."

William shrugged.

He was well aware of the reason for his friend's distress.

"Damn it, damn it!" Candace slammed his fist on the table in a fit of rage, the terrifying force instantly leaving a large, dark hole in the solid wood.

Everyone else is so competitive, so how did Luo Shen manage to break into the top three?

This means that Luo Shen's strength is now almost equal to that of Chu Qiang, Retnas, and others. If he continues to develop smoothly like this, he might become the top player this month.

"I think we should find someone to challenge Luo Shen to a duel," William suggested.

Candace asked, somewhat puzzled, "So what if he challenges me? How many people in the entire training camp can defeat him?"

He even recalled the day he was easily defeated by Luo Shen.

They're not even in the same league!

If he hadn't been defeated by Luo Shen, with the talent he displayed and the support of his aunt and uncle, how could those old families have dared to plot against his position?

"Retnas!" William said earnestly.

Seeing that Candice still didn't understand, William analyzed carefully, "The Chinese are on such a strong upward trajectory right now, they might actually overthrow Letenas and Chu Qiang this month and top the Black Dragon Ranking!"

"So, we're not the only ones who're nervous right now."

Candice's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and she clapped her hands, saying, "That's right, Retnas is definitely worried about being robbed of first place by this newcomer, Luo Shen!"

A newcomer successfully reached the summit in his first month in the camp.

For the successful, it's naturally a time of flowers and honors, but for others in the same period, especially those who have consistently held the top spot like Retnas and Chu Qiang, it's not such a good thing.

After graduation, they will at least lead a special department on their own.

But he hasn't even graduated yet, and he's already been defeated by a newcomer. How can he expect other newcomers to respect him in the future?

Everyone would think that.

If you can be knocked down once, why can't you be knocked down a second time?

"Moreover, the stronger the momentum of the Chinese, the greater the blow will be if they suffer a setback along the way. Not to mention anything else, it will definitely be impossible for them to continue to charge forward like they are now!" William continued.

And that's exactly what Candice needs.

He didn't want Luo Shen to continue being so domineering; he wanted Luo Shen to be completely defeated!

"I'm going to find Retnas right now!"

Candace made a quick decision: "I refuse to believe I can't persuade Retnas! He's been in the training camp for so many years, and he can't even beat a newbie. He'll definitely agree!"

really.

As they analyzed.

When Candice approached Letners, the two hit it off immediately.
