Massive Reward

Golden Vultures, raptors with black upper bodies and wing feathers that shimmered with a faint silvery-gray luster. Their lower bodies, belly down, and underwing feathers were golden yellow. Their powerful talons and flapping wings posed a huge threat to Luo Feng! Even if his speed had surged significantly, those with inferior footwork couldn't unleash their speed when besieged by an avian horde. “Thwack!” “Whoosh!” Within the flock of flying beasts, white blade light flashed repeatedly, and shrill cries echoed through the sky. Golden Vultures fell one after another, but others attacked relentlessly, one after another. In terms of speed, the Golden Vulture's flight speed far surpassed that of land beasts of the same tier. Flying beasts are faster than land beasts—that's common knowledge. This meant Luo Feng simply couldn't shake off this avian horde; he could only desperately slaughter them while under siege by the flying beasts! His blade work was like lightning, every strike fatal! “Not good.” Luo Feng was lifted by the talons of a Golden Vulture. His feet left the ground, unable to exert force, so his footwork couldn't be used. Luo Feng, unable to use his footwork, was instantly torn to shreds by the Golden Vulture horde! Blood splattered everywhere! Luo Feng's body vanished, and the Golden Vulture horde disappeared. “That really hurt.” Luo Feng reappeared in the wilderness. “What's my Trial Tower level now?” Luo Feng shouted, looking up. In his previous state of intense slaughter, Luo Feng dared not be distracted, naturally not counting how many Golden Vultures he had killed. He only felt that it lasted longer than last time. But no matter what, he still didn't succeed in the end. An electronic voice sounded: “Trial Tower Level 3.5!” “3.5?” Luo Feng showed a hint of pleasant surprise. 3.5 multiplied by 3.5, his combat amplitude was already 12.25, exceeding 12! He succeeded! Haha, he actually succeeded! Since coming to this Elite Training Camp, he hadn't dared to relax for a single day. It was precisely because of his desperate training in the first month that he ranked 68th in the first month, and obtained the contract provided by the Extreme Martial Arts Dojo. After getting that contract, he set a three-month deadline for himself, demanding the highest standards! Every moment, he was pondering martial arts. Even when showering, his mind was on blade techniques. Sometimes, even when chatting with his family or Xu Xin, his mind would drift to thinking about blade techniques. In the last month, he even frantically challenged other trainees in the camp, engaging in life-and-death battles again and again... The last time, he even bet 10 billion! Finally... on the night of July 30th, his combat amplitude finally reached 12! “Haha, come on, this third level, B-tier stage, let's continue!” Luo Feng laughed heartily. The Golden Vulture avian horde appeared in the sky once again! Luo Feng no longer felt any psychological pressure; he simply devoted himself entirely to the trial... ...One hour of trials ended! Luo Feng's final Trial Tower level was 3.6. He finally successfully completed the B-tier stage, but in the C-tier stage, Luo Feng was quickly killed. “Hmm, compared to my body's power reaching 3.5 times and my footwork reaching the perfect level,” Luo Feng mused, “my weakness is my blade technique, which has only reached the great success of the second realm.” Luo Feng understood that the higher the Trial Tower level, the higher the requirements for each aspect. If his blade technique was weak, facing a beast horde, he couldn't instantly kill more than ten monsters. Trial Tower Level 3.6! This achievement was actually considered quite good even among War Gods. “My combat amplitude is 12.6!” Luo Feng smiled. ...Jiangnan Pavilion, inside Luo Feng's study. When Luo Feng returned and opened his laptop, it was already 10:50 PM. Without much thought, Luo Feng quickly pulled up the contract document he had signed with the Extreme Martial Arts Dojo from his laptop. This was a scanned document of the contract he had signed. The contract contained a clear phone number. Once Luo Feng's combat amplitude met the requirements, he could call this number to claim his reward. “A massive reward.” Luo Feng took a deep breath. A full price for a portion of Dragon Blood was 160 billion, half price was 80 billion. A set of the “Ninefold Thunderblade” secret technique was also 50 billion at half price. The cheapest full set of combat uniform and weapons was over 10 billion at full price, and nearly 10 billion at half price. Even at half price for everything, it was an astonishing sum. Of course, the Extreme Martial Arts Dojo's costs were very low. The Ninefold Thunderblade was essentially sold as intellectual property, with almost zero cost. The cost of Dragon Blood was probably only known by the Grandmaster 'Hong' in the entire world, because only he could provide Dragon Blood. Combat uniforms and weapons cost only a few billion. All combined, the cost was at most a few tens of billions. However... that was the cost! Who would sell you something at cost price? Even if governments worldwide bought Dragon Blood, they would buy it at the 80 billion price. “Beep—beep—” Luo Feng dialed the number. “Hello.” A deep voice sounded. “Hello, I am Luo Feng from the Elite Training Camp.” Luo Feng, at this moment, had calmed down instead. “I previously signed a contract with the Martial Arts Hall, and it has five reward clauses. If I meet any one of them, I can call this number to receive the corresponding reward from you, right?” “Yes!” The deep voice replied. “My combat amplitude has exceeded 12, which meets the first clause.” Luo Feng said. “Please wait a moment, I'll check.” After only a moment, the voice's tone rose slightly. “Ah, congratulations, Trainee Luo Feng. Your combat amplitude is now 12.6, and it is currently 22:56 on July 30th, which is before August 1st, meeting the reward clause. Your reward is... a full set of 9-series combat uniform and weapons, any set of secret techniques, and a portion of Dragon Blood worth 80 billion.” Hearing this, Luo Feng couldn't help but grit his teeth in excitement. His left fist involuntarily clenched tightly! Success! “Trainee Luo Feng, please tell me the detailed information for the full set of combat uniform and weapons you require,” the deep voice continued, “and also the name of the set of secret techniques you need.” “I need a set of 9-series combat uniform, size according to...” Luo Feng quickly reported the size, style, and other information for his combat uniform, Blood Shadow Battle Blade, and hexagonal shield. He also mentioned some auxiliary tools like a communication watch, binoculars, and a backpack, and of course, the throwing knives he needed! “I also need the complete set of the 'Ninefold Thunderblade' secret technique!” “Finally, there's that portion of Dragon Blood.” Luo Feng replied. “Oh, and among the 10 9-series throwing knives I need, I hope two of them can be replaced with SS-tier throwing knives! I can transfer the money to purchase these two SS-tier throwing knives.” Throwing knives are small in volume and use less material. Even SS-tier ones are much cheaper than a Blood Shadow Battle Blade of the same tier. A single SS-tier throwing knife is only 400 million at full price, and 200 million at half price. The cost is even lower! For the Extreme Martial Arts Dojo, after issuing such a massive reward, would they care about this small amount of money? “Consider these two SS-tier throwing knives as an addition to the combat uniform set.” The deep voice clearly didn't care about two SS-tier throwing knives. “The Elite Training Camp is located within the headquarters Base City. This reward is estimated to be delivered to the main entrance of the training camp within 1 hour. You can go there to receive it.” The deep voice said. “Within an hour?” Luo Feng showed a hint of pleasant surprise. He didn't expect to get it so quickly. “Finally, congratulations, Trainee Luo Feng, on receiving this reward. At the same time, Trainee Luo Feng, please continue to work hard and strive to reach a combat amplitude of 16 soon, to receive another reward.” After the deep voice finished speaking, it hung up. After the call ended, silence filled the study. Luo Feng's heart, however, was pounding. “Dragon Blood, Dragon Blood will be here soon.” “My strength can undergo astonishing changes instantly.” Luo Feng, even at this moment, still felt as if he were dreaming... Just like that, the “Ninefold Thunderblade” secret technique and a portion of Dragon Blood were about to be his. Just look at the stir caused by that sky-high bounty of 100 billion, and you'd know what a massive fortune 100 billion was. And a set of secret techniques and a portion of Dragon Blood, even at half price, combined would far exceed 100 billion. ...Excited, Luo Feng was indeed too excited. After enduring for 20 minutes in his study, he still couldn't resist rushing to the main entrance of the training camp. The main gate. It was already 11 PM, and the air was somewhat cool. Because it was the 30th, there were no trainees at the entrance late at night. “Trainee Luo Feng, why are you here so late?” The chief in charge of the guard army at the main entrance, a middle-aged man, called out with a smile. Of course, he recognized this popular figure of the training camp. “Something came up.” Luo Feng replied with a smile. The guard army chief also knew the rules and didn't press further. And Luo Feng, under the late-night breeze, paced back and forth alone at the entrance. In this waiting, Luo Feng felt every minute and second pass so slowly. Occasionally, a car would pass by the training camp entrance, and Luo Feng would involuntarily look up, but alas, none were it! “Beep!” A horn sounded. A large truck drove towards the training camp entrance. “Beep! Clearance granted!” An electronic voice came from the main gate guard room, surprising the patrolling soldiers and other personnel present. Many systems in this Elite Training Camp were controlled by intelligent systems, not by humans. Usually, even Martial Arts Hall special vehicles weren't allowed in. The main gate had now automatically opened. The large truck drove in. “It must be it.” Luo Feng quickly walked to the side. The large truck seemed to have noticed Luo Feng, drove directly to an open area nearby, and then stopped. *Clang!* The truck's rear door opened. A voice sounded: “Trainee Luo Feng, please board the vehicle.” Luo Feng rushed to the truck's rear door, but before he could get in, a blue light shone on Luo Feng. At the same time, an electronic voice sounded: “Trainee Luo Feng, identity confirmed. Please board the vehicle.” The truck's interior was very luxurious. There were three people inside, all looking at Luo Feng in surprise. “This is Luo Feng?” “I wonder what the headquarters is making us escort this time, to send all three of us.” The three people in the compartment, one Asian and two Caucasians, were speaking in Huaxia. The common language in this Hongning Base City was Huaxia, so most people at the headquarters spoke Huaxia. Luo Feng jumped into the truck, his gaze sweeping the compartment. He immediately saw a large combination lock box. Judging by its size, it could indeed hold a shield, Blood Shadow Battle Blade, and similar items. Just then— The same blue light as before shone on the combination lock box. “Reward item, confirmed, correct.” The electronic voice sounded. “Trainee Luo Feng, please receive your reward item.” Luo Feng stepped forward. One of the three, a tall Caucasian, picked up the combination lock box and directly presented it to Luo Feng. “Trainee Luo Feng, what's inside?” The Caucasian man asked with a smile. “It's classified.” Luo Feng smiled and took the combination lock box. Finally... This massive reward was in hand, Dragon Blood was in hand!
