I gain permanent defense when attacked; even gods and demons can't hurt me.

The points they painstakingly earn at school can only be exchanged for resources and equipment that the War Academy offers only to students.

However, the military merits they now possess are recognized throughout the entire country of China.

Military merits are completely different in nature; they can be directly used to exchange for top-secret strategic materials within all military regions of China!

The resources that can be redeemed with military merits are several levels higher in both rarity and equipment quality compared to those redeemed with points!

Before everyone could recover from the overwhelming joy of five thousand military merits, Fang Zhentian smiled slightly and revealed the ultimate purpose of calling them here today.

"The first two items are honors and awards given to you by the military."

"And this third reward is the true secret that our War Academy has specially opened up for you geniuses!"

"The academy's leadership has unanimously decided to open the most crucial resource location in the academy's history—the War God's Treasury—to your entire team!"

"Since the school was founded, only a handful of freshmen have been able to enter the War God's Treasury."

The War God's Treasury?!

Upon hearing these four words, Chu Tianxing, who was usually calm and aloof, suddenly trembled and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

This time, even he, a well-traveled young master from the capital, couldn't remain calm.

Looking at the shocked crowd, Fang Zhentian explained seriously, "The contents of this War God's Treasury are not ordinary items."

"Inside are all the resources that our War Academy's predecessors and great masters brought back from the most dangerous demon caves of the Abyss Battlefield."

"In addition, the treasure vault also contains the practice works created by the most outstanding blacksmiths in China when they were young, created in a flash of inspiration."

"And the various top-quality equipment they created after reaching the Grandmaster level."

Fang Zhentian turned his head and said, "In view of the difference in the size of the battle merits, Lin Yuan, you can go directly to the second floor of the treasure vault and choose any item you like."

"As for the rest of you team members, you can freely choose any piece of equipment or material you like to take away from the first floor of the treasure vault."

Upon hearing this assignment, Chu Tianxing and the others felt no jealousy whatsoever; instead, they were so excited that their hands trembled.

Upon hearing about this reward, Chu Tianxing was deeply shocked and overwhelmed.

He never expected that after this training, not only would he be promoted in rank and gain military merit, but he would also be able to obtain a ticket to enter the War God's Treasury of the Academy!

Don't be fooled by the fact that these team members can only enter the first floor to pick things up.

However, with Chu Tianxing's family background and perspective, he was all too aware of the value of the War God's Treasure Vault!

Resources that are strictly guarded and included in this first-level treasure vault are of absolutely the highest quality.

At least for his current level, it's sufficient.

He had heard about it from his elders long ago.

Even the worst equipment in the War God's Treasury of the War Academy is at least platinum quality.

It can be said that the War God's Treasury is one of the foundations upon which the War Academy is built.

This is actually one of the reasons why he, the eldest son of the Chu family, one of the five great families in the capital, would rather travel thousands of miles to the War Academy than attend a top-tier academy in the capital with such an advantage.

Aside from not wanting to rely on family connections and follow the conventional promotion path of the Imperial Capital Military Region.

The second reason is that he wants to establish merit through his own strength and then enter the War God's Treasury with dignity!

After leaving the principal's office.

"Permanently Increases Defense When Hit, Even Gods and Demons Can't Damage Me": Explosive word-of-mouth and rave reviews!

Fang Zhentian led them to the War God's Treasury.

What comes into view is a magnificent high-rise building with an extremely simple and even somewhat oppressive design.

This is the War God's Treasury!

Unlike modern skyscrapers that use glass curtain walls, it is entirely made of dark, deep-sea meteorite iron.

The entire building resembles an ancient treasure vault, presenting the shape of a heavy octagonal tower, with its surface densely covered with defensive array patterns that emit a faint glow.

Simply standing in front of the treasure vault's gate, everyone could feel an overwhelming sense of solemnity and weight.

But in front of that heavy gate, there was no fully armed guard unit as one might have imagined.

On the stone steps beside the gate sat only a thin, white-haired old man dressed in coarse linen clothes.

The old man was squinting in the sun, looking like an ordinary logistics worker.

However, just as everyone was wondering about the old man's identity.

When Principal Fang Zhentian, who led them there, saw the white-haired old man, he surprisingly put aside his usual imposing manner.

Fang Zhentian bowed slightly and greeted him respectfully, saying, "Elder Sun, I've brought these few youngsters who have made contributions here to collect some resources."

"Oh, it's Xiao Fang."

Old Sun smiled and glanced at Lin Yuan and the others. "I already know what happened."

Old Master Sun's tone was very gentle, "Faced with the Abyss Cult and the Abyss Monsters, these freshmen not only did not collapse, but were also able to fight back. They are truly remarkable."

"The younger generation is truly formidable; it seems our human race has a promising future. Alright, all of you, go inside."

Listening to the two of them exchanging words that sounded like an elder giving a lecture.

Chu Tianxing, Ye Cang, and the others standing at the back were immediately filled with shock and disbelief!

Even a school principal of Fang Zhentian's caliber, a top-tier military leader in China, would respectfully address him as "Old Master Sun"!

He was even affectionately called "Xiao Fang" by the other party?!

Everyone immediately realized that this was no ordinary gatekeeper!

This is definitely the kind of reclusive, hidden master found in novels!

No one dared to be negligent in the slightest; they immediately bowed in unison and greeted, "Greetings, Senior Sun!"

Lin Yuan, who was standing at the very front of the group, instinctively narrowed his eyes.

He wanted to check out the hidden information of the mysterious old man in front of him.

However, the data displayed on the panel the next second made Lin Yuan's pupils shrink abruptly!

Name: Sun Wuji

【Profession:???】

【grade:???】

[Hidden Information: Insufficient level to view!]

Holy crap?!

Lin Yuan couldn't help but curse in his mind, and his heart skipped a beat.

The screen is full of question marks! How is this possible?!

Keep in mind, he just upgraded the "Omniscient and Omnipotent" gold attribute to level 5!

The current detection permissions allow us to ignore disguises and directly perceive the detailed information of all professionals whose level is no higher than our own by 60!

He is currently level 33, and with the level jump of 60, it means that as long as the other party's level is no more than 93, he can at least see the most basic information.

But now, the system is telling him that he doesn't have enough permissions, and he can't even see his level or class!
