At this moment, Liu Feng looked at the other nine instructors and said,
"When the time comes, each of you will be responsible for your own part and quickly finalize the scores."
"Alright!" The instructors nodded.
Soon, the ten of them returned to their respective training rooms and began to diligently revise the students' papers.
"Hm?"
Chen Shu looked at the first test paper presented on the virtual screen. It was anonymized...
"It seems they really aren't going to play favorites anymore..."
He shook his head, dispelling any other thoughts, and began to revise earnestly.
Two days passed in a flash.
The students lined up neatly early in the morning, eagerly awaiting the announcement of their scores.
Liu Feng calmly arrived at the front of the crowd, a smile on his face, and said,
"Everyone, your scores for the first phase are out. Everyone has done quite well!"
"However, no matter what, there are still differences in ranking. Please check for yourselves below."
With that, a massive virtual screen appeared before him, displaying everyone's rankings.
Instantly, everyone looked towards it, and their expressions varied, some excited, some dejected...
"Hm?"
Chen Shu also hadn't received his ranking beforehand, and now he looked over with curiosity.
[First Place: Fang Si]
[Second Place: Wang Sheng]
[Third Place: Xiang Yao]
[Fourth Place: Shi Ziming]
[......]
The crowd looked on in surprise. Among the top ten students, six were Silver-ranked, indicating that the first round of testing had little to do with beast taming levels.
"Hm?"
Chen Shu raised an eyebrow. Among his closest friends, only Fang Si and Wang Juesha made it into the top ten.
The others were all in the upper-middle tier, which could only be described as decent.
Xie Sunan was the most egregious, ranking eighty-eighth...
However, considering that this guy couldn't even write the character 'Han' in 'Han Fei', it was quite reasonable.
Liu Feng said calmly, "The reward for first place is forty billion, second place is..."
As he announced, envious glances filled the students' eyes.
The top ten students shared two hundred billion in resources, while the remaining three hundred billion was distributed among the other ninety people.
The initial reward system wasn't like this, but because everyone's performance was so outstanding, Liu Feng naturally changed the rules on the spot.
"The reward amounts have been converted into training camp points. You can decide what rewards you want to redeem."
Liu Feng looked at everyone and said,
"The theoretical courses have now concluded. Before the commencement of practical combat courses, there will be a three-day gap."
"During this gap period, Chen Shu will continue to teach in the mornings."
Upon hearing this, the students' expressions stirred, and they looked towards Chen Shu with eager eyes, with many nodding repeatedly.
Clearly, Chen Shu's lectures had benefited them immensely.
Most importantly, it had dispelled their fear. High-level Lords and Kings they had once considered invincible could, in fact, also be killed.
"In the afternoons, you will have the opportunity to ask questions on all sorts of topics, and we ten instructors will answer them collectively."
"As for the nights."
Liu Feng pondered for a moment and slowly said, "The Spirit Gathering Device will be activated again, and at an even higher power than before!"
Instantly, the students' expressions were shaken, and they became extremely excited.
"This is your final period of cultivation!"
Liu Feng stated, "I suggest you convert your training camp points into Beast Taming Orbs."
Beast Taming Orbs, combined with the dense spiritual energy of heaven and earth, would further increase the students' beast taming levels.
For a time, most people followed Liu Feng's advice and decided to redeem Beast Taming Orbs. However, there were wealthy youngsters who were not short of Beast Taming Orbs, such as the fourth-generation rich heir, Xiang Yao...
That day, most of the students spent their training camp points.
Chen Shu made a trip to Blue Star and retrieved a large number of Beast Taming Orbs from the official warehouse.
Who else could be as fast as him...
Three days passed in a flash.
As the final sprint phase, indeed, four more individuals broke through, reaching the Golden Beast Tamer level, becoming powerhouses that shook the region!
It's important to note that their ages were all under thirty, which in any era would be considered top-tier geniuses!
However, aside from talent, the most significant factor was the immense consumption of resources!
Under normal circumstances, it would have been impossible to invest more than twenty King's True Pearls to cultivate young people. Such a level of material could no longer be measured by mere wealth.
This also made the students lament that the chaotic world, for them, was both a crisis and an opportunity...
On this day, the students gathered.
"Everyone, your theoretical courses and beast taming cultivation will temporarily come to a close."
Liu Feng coughed lightly and said, "However, theory is still theory. We cannot defeat our enemies with just our mouths."
Upon hearing this, some students' gazes turned towards Chen Shu...
After all, the footage of him tormenting the Bat Emperor that day had spread globally.
Some believed he had used some mental skill, while others thought he had used his words to repeatedly break the Bat Emperor's mental defenses, ultimately causing it to vomit blood and die...
"Uh..."
Liu Feng also reacted instantly and said,
"That is something only a very few people can achieve. You, as progressive youths of the new era, should not aim for that. After all, your inherent qualities are what they are."
"???"
Chen Shu, who was below, looked over innocently.
What was the meaning of that? Was he implying that the Nanjiang Han Fei had low-quality attributes?
"Alright, the topic has drifted."
Liu Feng waved his hand and said, "In short, all theory is for one purpose: practical combat!"
"Especially now, in this chaotic era, I believe you all understand the purpose of the officials cultivating you."
The crowd nodded seriously.
All gains require investment; they wouldn't have received trillions in resources for free.
"The practical combat courses are very simple."
Liu Feng stated, "The entire training camp will be divided into ten groups, with ten people per group, led by one instructor."
"The specific practical combat projects will be tailored for you by your respective instructors."
He continued, "Furthermore, during each battle, the instructors will record the footage, and upon completion of the course, we ten people will judge the scores."
Hearing this, the students' expressions stirred, their eyes filled with anticipation, and they appeared eager to get started.
After nearly a month of intense cultivation, their strength had improved, and they were eager for a hearty battle!
"We need to discuss the grouping, so please rest for now."
Liu Feng said, "Also, it doesn't matter who your leading instructor is; we won't interfere easily. We will only protect your lives at crucial moments."
Following this, the ten instructors left the area and ascended to the summit of the great mountain.
"Everyone, before we proceed with the grouping, let me first say something."
Liu Feng cleared his throat and stated,
"For the practical combat courses, the higher the difficulty, the better! At least the strength of the fierce beasts should be superior to the students' apparent levels. After all, we are cultivating geniuses, not mediocrity!"
Everyone nodded, finally understanding.
"Uh, Chen Pi, you don't need to nod. The lower the difficulty you set, the better!"
"???"
Chen Shu looked bewildered and asked, "Why? Aren't we cultivating geniuses?"
"That's right, we are cultivating geniuses, but not madmen who court death!"
Liu Feng pursed his lips and said,
"The difficulty you set, kid, is all based on yourself as a reference. Do you really think everyone is as abnormal as you are?"
