Those trainees almost broke down upon hearing that they had to hunt Direbeasts and give what they hunted to the training camp for free.

Not only that, they must not hide their harvest because it was going to affect their results.

Poor result meant poor ranking.

Poor ranking meant poor benefit.

Poor benefit meant poor self-cultivation.

It was a vicious cycle!

What vexed them even more was that those vitality-enhancement fluid and Gene Arcana-enhancement fluid given to the outstanding trainees were bought using the money from the Direbeasts that they hunted.

How sad!

It would be nice if they could make it to the top 30 and enjoy the vitality-enhancement fluid and the Gene Arcana-enhancement fluid. If not, they were going to get the short end of the stick—big time.

But this was nothing compared to what came next!

“To prevent some trainees from dawdling around, we have this rule: those who occupy the last three places for three consecutive weeks would be kicked out of the Super Training Camp.”

The camp commandant said coldly. “So never think of dillydallying because it is not possible!”

Everyone was shocked. They could be kicked out of the Super Training Camp? This was something they did not know before.

“Of course, those who occupy the top spots consecutively will receive handsome rewards. But I am not going to tell you what the rewards are. You all can read it in the training camp manual.

“All right. I have said what I need to say. Let me remind you one last time, the leaderboard will be updated weekly!”

The camp commandant gave everyone a once-over. “It is Thursday today. As per the rule, you all have got to go into the wilderness to hunt Direbeasts.”

“Today?”

“We have just arrived!”

“Did I hear that correctly?”

The trainees were grumbling. They had just arrived at the Super Training Camp and not gotten any training. Yet they were asked go hunting for Direbeasts?

That was so depressing.

“Because this is the first hunt, the training camp strictly requires you all to form teams. The Direbeasts in the Australian continent aren’t something you have ever imagined.

“There are various tools, dimensional pockets, transports, cold weapons, Direbeast radar in the training camp. You can rent whatever you want. You heard it correctly—for rent! They are nice to use, but once broken, considered sold.

“One last reminder, the Australian Direbeasts differ from the Direbeasts in other places. They are not only vicious but also horrifying in terms of strength. So don’t simply go to the high-risk zone. Otherwise, you all will die for nothing. Now, dismiss!”

As the camp commandant finished and left, Jing Biao and other mentors also followed suit, leaving behind Ling Jiu and the rest of the 200 trainees looking at each other.

“It has started just like this!”

Shi Gang sighed, then looked at Ling Jiu with an expectant look. “Should you and I form a team?”

“Form a team?”

Ling Jiu frowned. In all fairness, he did not feel like wanting to form a team. He knew very well of his ability; forming a team would only bring down his score.

Not that he had any choice; it was the training camp’s rule.

Just then, Ai Yuhe and Yang Ling-er came up to him. Ling Jiu had already read their minds. “You two want to form a team with me, too?”

“Yea.”

The two girls nodded. Being fresh off the boat in unfamiliar territory, the best thing to do was to choose someone they knew.

Ling Jiu nodded his agreement. “Since the rule says we have got to form a team, then let the four of us form a team.”

Forming a team with someone else might bog down him. However, Ai Yuhe was an exception; her arcana was impossibly powerful.

He was not so sure about Yang Ling-er, though. Since she could get a place, just like Ai Yuhe did, she probably was no slouch either.

“Let’s rent some tools.”

“All right.”

The four of them came to the armory, rented ten top-tier dimensional pockets, and left the fortress. They all had their own maglev airship. So it did not matter whose maglev airship they used.

Stealth mode was activated as the airship lifted off. The four of them sat in the living quarter staring at the Direbeast radar screen.

“The radar shows that there are many Direbeasts in the northeast.”

The one who spoke was Shi Gang. “For safety’s sake, we had better start with Class-Four Direbeasts.”

“Class Four is too lame. It is pointless.”

Ling Jiu tapped on the Direbeast radar screen, filtering out the other classes and leaving only Class-5 Direbeasts on the radar screen.

“Shall we start with Class-Five?”

Shi Gang’s expression changed subtly. “We all are just Level-Four arcanists. Would it be too reckless for us to take on Class-Five Direbeasts?”

“Not at all.”

Ling Jiu let out a smile. “I think we need to get to know each other’s arcana and strength before we start hunting. Only then we could work together seamlessly.”

The three nodded in agreement with Ling Jiu.

“I am capable of earth and gravity manipulations.” Ling Jiu took the lead. “I can hunt Class-Five Direbeasts alone.”

Ai Yuhe and Yang Ling-er curled their lips petulantly. “Who are you bluffing? Who doesn’t know that you have triple arcana?”

“I will tell you all about my other arcana when the time is ripe. But now,” Ling Jiu paused, then continued, “it is a secret.”

“Whatever.”

Ai Yuhe rolled her eyes, sneering at Ling Jiu’s action of hiding his ability.

“I have Dimensional Arcana, the ability to manipulate dimensions, using dimensions to suppress and hem Class-Five Direbeasts. Besides, I can hem a Class-Six Direbeast for over ten seconds.”

“Dimensional Arcana?”

Shi Gang was astonished. “You are capable of the legendary Dimensional Arcana? That’s awesome! It is one of the most powerful arcana!”

“It is all right.”

Ai Yuhe let out a smile. “Ling-er’s arcana are the most incredible. She could manipulate and annihilate the five elements!”

“Manipulate the five elements?”

“Annihilate the five elements?”

Ling Jiu was as stunned as Shi Gang was.

Ai Yuhe continued. “Ling-er could manipulate the five elements—metal, wood, water, fire, and earth—at the same time. That means everything that comprises these five elements is under her control!

“The same goes with Five-Element Annihilation. She could annihilate everything that is made up of the five elements—metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.”

“D*mn!” Shi Gang exclaimed.

Ling Jiu was wide-eyed. Earlier, he had guessed that Yang Ling-er’s ability was good, but he did not expect it to be this shocking.

Five-Element Manipulation—just this one arcana alone equated the five arcana of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth manipulations.

Manipulating metal, wood, water, fire, and earth at the same time; that had almost covered all elements in the world. After all, most things were made of these elements.

Let alone Five-Element Annihilation, which was even more terrifying.

“I can’t believe that there is such an arcana in this world!”

There was a light in Shi Gang’s eyes. “It is my honor to have such a teammate among us. We are going to make some really big kills!”

Yang Ling-er let out a timid smile.

“What is your arcana?” Ling Jiu looked at Shi Gang.

“My eyes!”

Shi Gang took off his sunglasses, revealing his eyes.

Ling Jiu’s jaw dropped to the floor while Ai Yuhe and Yang Ling-er covered their mouths with their hands in astonishment.

They were blood-red.

Shi Gang’s eyes were blood-red, like a pair of rubies with pupils in the shape of black flame.

There was only one way to describe his eyes: they were Sharingans where the Magatama Pupils were replaced by the black flames.

“My eyes are something special.”

Shi Gang explained. “By focusing my vision upon an object, the black flame will be ignited. This black flame is extremely destructive, burning through virtually everything.”

Ling Jiu’s jaw dropped to the floor again.
