"Good!"
Thunder God laughed aloud as he pressed forward again. Lightning saber light and staff shadows collided repeatedly in midair, metallic clangor rolling across the sky like thunder.
Bodies crossed, separated, and collided once more.
More importantly, insights collided.
Each exchange sharpened Bai Yue's understanding. His staff techniques linked more smoothly, transitions growing tighter and more decisive. His footwork became increasingly deliberate—advance and retreat no longer instinctive, but calculated. These were things no amount of solitary cultivation could provide. They could only be carved out through direct confrontation with a true powerhouse.
On the surface, Bai Yue appeared to hold the advantage.
In truth, that was an illusion.
Thunder God had not unleashed his true strength. He was suppressing himself to Planetary Level One, far below his actual peak of Planetary Level Seven. Bai Yue, on the other hand, was already operating at full output. Even with thirteenfold amplification, he could not injure Thunder God in the slightest.
The gap between major realms was like a bottomless chasm.
Inside Hong's Great Wilderness–grade intelligent fighter jet, the sparring session finally came to an end.
Bai Yue leaned back slightly, breathing steadily. After drinking a cup of tea stored aboard the craft and restoring some of his energy, he looked at Thunder God—who appeared completely unaffected.
The faint swelling of confidence in Bai Yue's heart quietly dissipated.
Still too weak.
Planetary level… no, even higher.
On Earth, Planetary-level experts were supreme existences. But in the vast universe, that level barely qualified one to step onto the stage.
Originally, Bai Yue had also wanted to spar with Hong.
But the difference was even more absurd.
One side would have to suppress themselves completely, while the other couldn't even breach their defense at full strength. Such an exchange would be meaningless.
I'll challenge him after I break through.
"Your current combat strength already qualifies you as a Councilor-level existence," Hong said calmly from the side. "I intend to appoint you as the Sixth Inspector of the Dojo of Limits."
Bai Yue shook his head lightly. "Not yet. I haven't broken through to Planetary level. I'm confident I will—but it won't happen overnight. Besides, I've just announced that I'll guide the students. I should at least follow through."
He paused briefly.
"Let's announce it after I break through."
Hong studied him for a moment, then nodded. "Very well. Since you're confident, I won't push it. Break through soon."
After a short pause, Hong added, "If Inspector is premature, you can first serve as Supervisor of Hong Ning Base City. Take some time to hunt monsters, raise your certification level, and formally enter the War God Palace."
The Supervisor position had long been vacant—perfectly suited to Bai Yue. It carried authority, yet left him ample freedom.
In the days that followed, Bai Yue's life settled into a steady rhythm.
He went to the Wilderness Area to hunt monsters, tempering his martial skills while completing certification requirements. At the same time, he truly integrated into the Elite Training Camp.
Whenever he had time, he appeared in the cultivation hall, personally guiding students.
Time passed quickly.
On March 28th, a familiar figure arrived at the gates of the Elite Training Camp.
Luo Feng.
At the entrance, Luo Feng stood frozen, staring at the colossal black dragon statue. He had no idea that Bai Yue had already been here for quite some time.
"Finally here?"
A hand landed on his shoulder.
"This eyeball belonged to a King-level monster," Bai Yue said with a smile.
Luo Feng jumped slightly, then turned in disbelief. "Lao Bai?!"
From the side, Yang Hui greeted respectfully, "Supervisor."
"Supervisor?" Luo Feng repeated blankly.
He had assumed Bai Yue was simply training here. When did he become a Supervisor?
Seeing their reactions, Yang Hui immediately understood. "You two already know each other, then I'll skip the introduction. Bai Yue has been appointed Supervisor of Hong Ning Base City."
Luo Feng stared at Bai Yue for a long moment before laughing. "Congratulations, Lao Bai. Looks like I've got someone to rely on here."
"These are small things," Bai Yue waved it off. "Congratulations on joining the Elite Training Camp."
"I still need to pass the test," Luo Feng said honestly.
"That test won't stop you," Bai Yue replied casually.
His confidence sounded effortless—stronger than Luo Feng's own.
Although Luo Feng didn't know why Bai Yue was so certain, his heart inexplicably steadied.
They followed the standard procedure and first arranged Luo Feng's accommodation. Since it was already late, the assessment was scheduled for the next day.
As a student, Luo Feng was naturally assigned to Jiangnan Pavilion, where all trainees from Jiangnan Base City stayed.
After Yang Hui left, only the two remained.
They talked for a long while.
Unlike Bai Yue's secluded cultivation, Luo Feng's past six months had been turbulent—filled with danger, breakthroughs, and unexpected turns.
"Oh, right," Bai Yue said suddenly. "I've arranged for a few bottles of Water of Life from America. When they arrive, come take one for Luo Hua."
Luo Feng hesitated instinctively.
Bai Yue interrupted him directly. "Why be polite between brothers? Luo Hua is my younger brother too."
"…Then I won't be," Luo Feng said quietly. "I'll just consider it exploiting a rich man."
But the gratitude in his heart was unshakable.
They agreed that Bai Yue would accompany him to the assessment the next day. After that, Bai Yue returned to his residence.
The following day, on the ninth floor of the Nine-Story Building, Bai Yue brought Luo Feng to a room equipped with a consciousness sensor helmet and explained its function.
Moments later, silver-white light filled their vision.
They appeared before the familiar Trial Tower.
"In this virtual space," Bai Yue explained, "everyone's physical fitness is standardized at Beginner Warlord level. The higher you clear, the higher your force-exertion level is judged."
Their information surfaced on the black stone pillar.
Luo Feng glanced at his own… then at Bai Yue's.
Trial Tower Level: 8
"…Lao Bai," Luo Feng asked slowly, "why is your level eight?"
"Otherwise, how do you think I became Supervisor?" Bai Yue smiled. "Clearing the Trial Tower."
He added calmly, "Before this, the highest record—Hong—only reached the sixth floor."
Luo Feng sucked in a breath.
"Each floor has A, B, and C stages," Bai Yue continued, cutting off further shock. "To stay in the Elite Training Camp, you only need to pass B-level on the first floor. Now—choose your equipment."
The test proceeded smoothly.
For Luo Feng, it posed no real difficulty.
After completing the trial, Luo Feng finally understood what Trial Tower level truly represented.
"I honestly don't know how you cultivated," he said with emotion. "You actually cleared the entire tower."
Bai Yue laughed. "Your progress isn't slow either. In less than a year, your Mental Power has already reached Mid-level God of War. That's rare on the entire Earth."
Luo Feng's heart skipped. "You… you know?"
"Relax. I didn't tell anyone," Bai Yue said calmly. "But you won't be able to hide it forever. I'm a Mental Master too—I can feel it. Councilors can probably sense it as well. Be prepared."
He patted Luo Feng's shoulder lightly.
"Lao Bai… you already know about the bounty?"
"Who doesn't?" Bai Yue laughed. "A 100 billion reward—first time in history."
Luo Feng wanted to ask if Bai Yue was tempted.
Then he remembered the Water of Life.
The question died before it formed.
