Gao Wu: Others practice martial arts, but you cultivate immortality?

"In ancient mythology, there was a divine tree that connected heaven and earth, called Jianmu;

This is the origin of the name "Building Wood Project".

We hope that you will not only become useful talents, but also grow like the Jianmu tree, supporting the world of Qin!

On the snow, a bald man stood in mid-air with his arms crossed over his chest;

His muscles were bulging, and his loose training clothes were stretched to their limit.

But his eyes didn't look like those of a brute; they were deep and calm...

"I am your head instructor, Xie Jun;"

However, I won't teach you anything, much less train you! Xie Jun paused, then said, "My only responsibility is to assess! To assess you constantly!"

You are all geniuses from all over the Qin Dynasty, and your biggest opponent should be yourselves!

If you make significant enough progress, even if you have the lowest cultivation level and the weakest combat power in the base, you won't be eliminated!

Conversely, even if you are at the Inner Breath Realm, if your strength stagnates... then it means you are not a genius, do not deserve the best training, and will be eliminated!

What if it's the Divine Power Realm? This thought subconsciously popped into many people's minds as they secretly glanced at Chu Yuan;

Xie Jun certainly saw it too, but he pretended not to see anything and continued:

"The base will provide basic resources, but you'll have to fight for the more valuable resources yourselves!"

Breaking through cultivation realms earns cultivation points.

Go to that snow mountain, slay strange beasts, and you'll earn kill points;

Ten days later, the leaderboard will open, and the top 100 will receive ranking points!

Everything you can think of can be redeemed with points!

Elixirs, weapons, armor, martial arts techniques, cultivation methods... all can be redeemed with points!

It is to become a tree, supporting heaven and earth;

Whether you become withered branches, trampled on by others, is entirely up to you!

"The Jianmu tree cannot support the heavens and the earth; it can only stretch the atmosphere..."

Hearing the laughter from the crowd, Xie Jun glared at the person who had chimed in and said, "You think you're funny?"

"Reporting, instructor, I'm only a little bit humorous..." The boy was a little flustered, but the laughter around him seemed to give him courage, and he still answered with 'high emotional intelligence'.

"What's your name?"

"Reporting, Instructor, my name is Wang Jiahao!"

"Jiahao, right?" Xie Jun smiled. "Don't be afraid. Although you make me very unhappy, I won't punish you, much less eliminate you."

What we need are true strongmen;

Instead of soulless, rigidly obedient machines.

Wang Jiahao breathed a sigh of relief, then heard Xie Jun sneer, "But I think that a fool like you who likes to make clever jokes will definitely be among the first to be eliminated!"

He muttered defiantly, "Instructor, that's a personal attack!"

"That's right, so what?"

"I......"

"Don't doubt the judgment of a seventh-realm martial artist..." Xie Jun said meaningfully;

Then, ignoring the boy who was struggling with his thoughts, he continued, "Each of you can initially choose one cultivation method and three martial arts techniques."

This will replace the Quenching Yuan Technique;

Of course, those who have already practiced other martial arts techniques do not need to choose; they can choose one more martial art!

Then you will be free. The first test will be held in seven days!

Since this is the first assessment, the standards will be relatively lenient: anyone who hasn't mastered the new techniques will be eliminated!

"Reporting, Instructor!"

"explain."

"After choosing a cultivation method, is there a teacher to guide you?"

"No." Xie Jun shook his head. "You need to figure it out yourselves! If you can't... I'll say it again, then you're not martial arts geniuses and don't deserve the best training!"

"......" Now everyone could see that there seemed to be no point in reasoning within the training base;

The instructors only give you a goal; if you achieve it, you can stay here.

If you don't reach that level, you're not a true genius and don't deserve to stay here...

But the energy array inside the room alone was enough to make many people reluctant to leave, and that was just the most basic facility.

Besides these, who knows how many more precious martial arts resources there are!

A sense of urgency spread through the crowd...

"Of course, some people may be good at other things, but they are just a little lacking in comprehension;

I'm not denying you any chance... You can use points to redeem opportunities for guidance!

Everyone fell silent again, vaguely understanding Xie Jun's intention;

Without breaking through to a higher realm, you don't get points, and you can't learn new techniques to break through to a higher realm. It's like needing work experience to find a job, but not having work experience means you can't find a job.

If the leaderboard isn't open, you won't get any points; even if it is, you might not be able to get into the top 100...

So it seems they only have one choice left?

That is, to kill strange beasts in the snowy mountains to earn killing points;

It really is "entirely voluntary"...

"That's it, disband."

"Go back and choose your cultivation techniques and martial arts skills on the terminal. Someone will deliver them to you. You must finish choosing before today." Xie Jun's gaze shifted to Chu Yuan: "Chu Yuan, come with me for a moment."

.......

"Instructor."

"There's something I need to tell you... Please be gentle with the strange beasts in the snow mountains."

"It wasn't easy for us to bring all that over here..." Xie Jun said tactfully.

"..."

"Actually, with your current strength, there is absolutely no need for you to participate in this training camp."

Even if you were sent directly to the outer battlefield, you would be qualified to serve as a mid-level officer in any legion.

Chu Yuan's heart skipped a beat, and he asked, "Instructor, will the second half of the training camp take place in the outer battlefield?"

Xie Jun nodded: "That's right, this training camp will last for two months."

First, let's solidify your basics and familiarize yourselves with low-intensity combat...

The second month was spent in the outer battlefield for trials, and rewards were distributed according to the amount of military merit.

I can give you a heads-up: the person with the highest military merit will not only receive a formal position within the legion... but the rewards will be no less impressive than the Martial God's Scroll you obtained during the last secret realm trial!

"I understand." Chu Yuan didn't ask if he could go see Elder Zhang after the outer battlefield.

If you have enough military merits, then everything will be easier to discuss.

But making demands before anything has even been done will only annoy people.

"Go on, and don't forget to choose your martial arts technique."

"Um."

Chu Yuan left Xie Jun's office;

He didn't need any special cultivation techniques, but he did need to be selective about his martial arts skills, as he had long felt that his methods were too limited...

Although he had just mastered the Golden Rainbow Piercing the Sun and the Reverse Fate Divine Technique he learned from Jiang Fei, he was not yet particularly proficient in either of these two spells.

It's like trying to bite off more than you can chew; if you can't chew it properly, then chew it slowly...
