Chapter 10: Great Improvement in Strength!
Chen Ping showed Gu Ce around the training camp and then told him to return to his room.
The life-and-death adventure had just begun. The Thunder Martial Arts School's life-and-death adventure took place in Antarctica, an area teeming with powerful marine monsters. It was a human-forbidden zone that rivaled the danger of the Australian continent.
As a teacher in the training camp, Chen Ping needed to leave to attend to the students.
This left only Pan Xi and Carl at the training camp.

The Chalcedony and Purple Source Crystal
"Is this the chalcedony?" Gu Ce asked, staring at the test tube in his hand, which contained a viscous, jade-colored liquid.
After a phone call, someone had delivered the chalcedony and purple source crystal to him.
Following the instructions, Gu Ce took the chalcedony. Instantly, a cold sensation spread from his stomach throughout his entire body.
Hiss!
Gu Ce shuddered as the chalcedony quickly decomposed in his stomach. Threads of icy energy spread through his body, from his bones to his flesh, and even to the surface of his skin. His body seemed to radiate a cold aura.
His cells began to transform, stimulated by the chalcedony, splitting and regenerating, replacing the old, useless cells.
Soon, the cold feeling subsided, and Gu Ce felt his body lighten. A large amount of toxins and impurities were expelled from his system, leaving him feeling refreshed.
But that was not the end.
Gu Ce took the purple source crystal and followed the instructions to crush it, then made a small cut on his palm. The substance from the crystal entered his bloodstream through the wound and flowed toward his bone marrow.
Hum!
Gu Ce gritted his teeth against the sharp pain, as if his bone marrow were being extracted and then regrown. The pain soon faded, replaced by a soothing warmth, like a bath in hot springs.
Huh!
Exhaling a breath of foul air, Gu Ce stood and went to take a shower.
He returned to the punching machine and threw a punch.
"21,087 kg!"
He was now at the mid-level of a general, but still had some distance from reaching the high-level.
The combination of chalcedony and purple source crystals had boosted his physical strength by about four times.
Gu Ce also tested his speed.
"163 m/s!"
Not bad.
He nodded slightly, pleased with his progress.
Afterward, he donned the 9-series combat suit and the Changsheng Sword, which his uncle had given him. Although better equipment existed, it wasn't necessary for now.

Hunting in the Field
Today was August 3rd. Gu Ce was supposed to go hunting only on even-numbered days, but with his newfound strength, he decided to test himself in actual combat.

Luo Feng's Conversation with Zhuge Tao
"You said you are a spiritualist?" Zhuge Tao asked, surprised.
"Yes," Luo Feng replied, demonstrating his spiritual power. Books nearby lifted into the air, confirming his claim.
"Hmm..." Zhuge Tao paused in thought. "Your mental power is currently at the level of a primary general. With your performance as a warrior and your age, you still have a chance to enter the elite training camp. Let me apply for you. There are still available spots for China this year. You should try."
"Thank you, Director Zhuge!" Luo Feng thanked him gratefully.
"Director, I have one more question," Luo Feng hesitated. "What about my family if I join the training camp?"
"Don't worry about that," Zhuge Tao reassured him with a smile.
"Do you know what the elite training camp is called outside of China? The War God Preparatory Camp!" Zhuge Tao said. "Who would dare provoke a War God? And you would be one of the War Gods, a mentalist no less!"
"The martial arts hall will protect your family, so you needn't worry about them."
"Then I have no problem," Luo Feng said, relieved.
"Good." Zhuge Tao nodded. "Your talent is impressive, and you rank among the top in Jiangnan Base City. However, the Thunderbolt Martial Arts School has Gu Ce, and Wang Heng is also connected to the Gu family. Somehow, he has become a War God."
"Should you make it into the elite training camp, I hope you won't lag behind Gu Ce too much."

Gu Ce's Battle with Beasts
Meanwhile, two hundred kilometers away, at City No. 999, a deserted city and exclusive hunting ground for Thunder Martial Arts School students, Gu Ce was engaged in a fierce battle with a herd of monsters.
As he darted through the group of beasts, Gu Ce swiftly killed many with a single swipe of his sword. Most of the monsters were beast soldiers, weak in comparison to Gu Ce's abilities. The only real challenge came from the leader of the herd: a high-level beast general, the Split-Toothed Lizard.
Gu Ce's eyes glinted with determination. He
