The assessment ended not long after Ling Jiu stepped down the stage.
“According to the regulations, the top 30 contestants in this hunting competition will receive generous rewards, which are as follows.”
The host’s voice reverberated in the air.
“One Top Vitality Enhancement Fluid worth 1,000 contribution points.
“One Top Gene Arcana Enhancement Fluid worth 1,000 contribution points.
“One Deep Awakening Treasure of Heaven and Earth worth 1,000 contribution points.
“One Top Gene Arcana secret manual worth 1,000 contribution points.
“One Ultimate Dimensional Pocket worth 1,000 contribution points.
“One Ultimate cold weapon worth 1,000 contribution points.”
As the host stopped speaking, a storm was set off in the hearts of all the trainees.
A Top Vitality Enhancement fluid, a Top Gene Arcana Enhancement Fluid, a Deep Awakening Treasure of Heaven and Earth, a Top Gene Arcana Secret Manual, an Ultimate Dimensional Pocket, and an Ultimate cold weapon; all of which worth 1,000 contribution points each.
Generous. That was generous.
Bear in mind that when Ling Jiu won three consecutive first place back then, he had only received an Ultimate Gene Arcana secret manual worth 1,000 contribution points, an Ultimate Treasure of Heaven and Earth worth 1,000 contribution points, and an Ultimate Gene potion worth 1,000 contribution points. There were only three prizes.
And now there were six.
Physique enhancement.
Gene Arcana enhancement.
Deep awakening of Arcana
Gene Arcana secret techniques.
Equipment.
Weapons.
…
The six major rewards cover almost all aspects of an Arcanist. With these rewards, an Arcanist would change its strength tremendously.
“Damn! This reward is too handsome!”
“Blunder! It was a huge blunder. I should have squeezed myself into Top 30 by hook or by crook had I known there were such handsome rewards.”
“I am jealous. I could increase my strength by a significant amount if I could get those rewards.”
The top 30 trainees were overjoyed while the rest could only look on with envy. They knew that there were going to be handsome rewards, but they did not expect it to be so generous.
Six major rewards.
All of which were best of the best.
Envy was written all over everyone’s face.
“The reward is quite generous, but it means nothing much to me.” Ling Jiu quietly sighed. “Maybe I can give them to Ling’er.”
“Next, all top thirty trainees, please come onto the stage to receive your rewards.”
The hunting competition officially ended after the top 30 trainees received their rewards and the camp commandants gave their closing speeches.
After that, trainees from other training camps boarded their airships and left the Australian mainland, while Ling Jiu and others from the Super Training Camp returned to the training camp base.
As soon as Ling Jiu arrived at the camp, he was summoned into the camp commandant’s office.
“Are you looking for me, Commandant?”
“You are here!”
The camp commandant looked at Ling Jiu with admiration. “Well done, Ling Jiu. You have made the training camp and me proud. Good job!”
“It’s my job.” Ling Jiu was very humble.
“Staying in the training camp is a waste of talent for you, considering your level of abilities.” The camp commandant let out a smile. “That is why I am seeing you. I want to know your opinion. Do you want to stay in the training camp, or go to the Ultimate Matriculation Camp directly?”
“I can go directly to the Ultimate Matriculation Camp?” Ling Jiu was stunned. “If I remember correctly, I am supposed to complete the training camp first before going to the Ultimate Matriculation Camp.”
He had been given a place in the matriculation camp, which was a sure thing. But that was only after successfully graduating from the training camp.
Going to the matriculation camp in advance?
Was this even possible?
“We can make an exception and let you in.”
The camp commandant smiled. “As long as you meet the requirements of the Ultimate Matriculation Camp and apply, you will usually get it. The question now is, are you willing to leave the training camp in advance and enter the Ultimate Matriculation Camp?”
“Of course, I will.” Ling Jiu nodded.
Staying back in the training camp was just following a routine path. It was a waste of time.
He was as well enter the Ultimate Matriculation Camp early and enjoyed better training and resources.
“Great! Then I will apply for you!”
The camp commandant let out a smile. “Before applying, I need to know your personal details such as your strength and the Arcanas you have mastered. You should know that although the boss has already given you early access, you still have to go through the procedure.”
“I know.”
Ling Jiu nodded. “I am currently a Level 6 Arcanist. I am capable of nine Arcanas: Earth Manipulation, Shadowform, Blink Arcana, Gravity Arcana, Tungstenform, Ten Thousoundfold Gene Arcana, Five-Element Manipulation, Dimensional Arcana, and Time Halt.”
“Nine Arcanas? Time Halt?”
The camp commandant gasped in awe upon hearing what Ling Jiu said. As much as he knew Ling Jiu well, what Ling Jiu had mastered still stunned him.
Besides the previously known Five-Element Manipulation, Blink Arcana, Tungstenform, Gravity, and Dimensional Arcanas, Ling Jiu had so many other Arcanas.
Shadowform. Ten Thousandfold Gene Arcana. Time Halt.
“Ten Thousandfold Gene Arcana? Did you replicate that from Janet?” The camp commandant looked at Ling Jiu in amazement. “And you replicated Time Halt from Hao Shuai?”
“Nothing can evade your eyes, Commandant.” Ling Jiu smiled and nodded.
“You are getting more and more perfect, kid!” The camp commandant patted Ling Jiu on the shoulder with a gratified expression. “What you have done is absolutely unprecedented. There are no two ways about it, you are going to enter the Ultimate Matriculation Camp early.”
“Thank you, Commandant.” Ling Jiu was still as humble as ever.
“The application will take a few days, during which you can stay back in the training camp or go home and wait for the news.” The camp commandant smiled. “I will inform you as soon as I get the news!”
“I am thinking of going home after coming out for so long,” Ling Jiu said after thinking for a while.
“Sure. Just give me a heads-up when you go. I will ask Jing Biao to give you a ride.”
“It is okay, Commandant. I can go back by myself!” Ling Jiu said. “I know the many dangers on the road, but I possess a Dimensional Arcana. I can avoid all dangers.”
“You are right,” the commandant said. “Just let me know when you go.”
“Sure thing, Commandant.”
“Go now.”
“Goodbye, Commandant.”
Leaving the camp commandant’s office, Ling Jiu returned to the dormitory. He heard Shi Gang’s jealous voice as soon as he stepped into the room. “Take out the rewards quickly, Ling Jiu. I am jealous of you.”
“Go to hell!”
“Hey, I am just joking, okay? Do you really think I am envious of you?”
“Humph, I have got 17 energy crystals with equally handsome rewards on the Pandora trip. When I finally digest these energy crystals, it is time to break into the Level 6 realm.”
“Then I wish all of you the best in attaining Level 6 the earliest!”
“I will!”
After talking with Shi Gang for a while, Ling Jiu dialed called Ling’er on the phone.
“Would you please come to my dorm, Ling’er?”
After a while, Ling’er arrived in Room 308. “Is there anything, Ling Jiu?”
“Let us talk out there. I have something to tell you.”
Ling Jiu took out today’s reward once they were outside the training camp.
“Take these, Ling’er.”
