Jiang Kai shook his head while saying, "Friend, I just want to quietly complete the special training, I don't want to cause trouble," and at the same time turned his head back.
Standing behind Jiang Kai was actually a trainee wearing gray clothes.
That person quickly walked over. "You were threatened too?"
Jiang Kai frowned. "What threatened?"
That person pulled Jiang Kai into a corner beside the great hall.
"Brother, the people from the War God Hall look down on us trial trainees, and they even snatch points from us. I noticed you seem to have a somewhat different identity…"
Jiang Kai frowned as he listened to the person talking.
"My, my identity isn't anything special."
"Don't kid me. In the special training camp, who doesn't know your backing is strong? Using an isolated training room all by yourself— I've joined two special training camps before, and I've never heard of anyone being given that treatment," that person said. "Even though the isolation training room isn't of much use, still… you using it alone, that's privilege."
Jiang Kai helplessly shook his head. That wasn't his intention at all. If possible, he'd rather others had the chance to enjoy that kind of treatment. Alexander!
After thinking for a moment, Jiang Kai said, "Friend, you've participated in two rounds of special training? Then isn't your backing even stronger than mine?"
"I don't have any backing, it's just that I achieved some accomplishments in research. I broke through several forging difficulties of Ghost Star extraction materials many times and received military rewards. Later, well, you know too, transcendent professions can extract attributes and become real-life superhumans. I also longed for power, so I requested to join the War God Hall special training camp, hoping to improve my own strength… actually my time inside Ghost Star was very short."
Jiang Kai couldn't help but size this person up again. Even though he wore a blindfold mask, judging from the tone of his speech and his whole bearing, he really did appear gentle and refined.
"You're in scientific research?"
"Mm, researching weapon-making after extracting transcendent materials, the weapons used on the Beast God Battlefield."
Jiang Kai suddenly understood and nodded. "Oh… my apologies, so you're a scientist. My younger sister also wants to develop in that direction."
"Right, what did you come to me for?"
That person said, "It's like this. Our trial trainees' points keep getting stolen, and we really can't swallow this insult, so we decided to fight them!"
Jiang Kai frowned, thought a bit, then said, "Friend, this… I don't really want to get involved in this kind of struggle. We're all Huaxia people, there's no need for internal conflict."
"We don't want to either, but… ever since the national war, the training effect of the Special Training Hall and the Three Saints Hall has greatly increased. In order to get longer usage time, they keep snatching our points."
"Actually, we were mentally prepared. If we lose, others will snatch our points. But… but they keep humiliating us."
"I help them make weapons outside part-time, yet they still treat me like this. I just can't stand it."
Jiang Kai's brows were so tightly furrowed they almost twisted together. "It can't be that bad, the War God Hall people I know are mostly quite good."
That person looked around, then leaned close and whispered, "They have internal divisions too, but the dominant faction is the one exploiting us."
"I heard it's the new War God of the Godslayer Guild."
"Godslayer Guild? Never really heard of it," Jiang Kai shook his head.
"Brother, you don't even know Godslayer? A recently rising guild, a branch split off from the Huang family line of the Xuanwu Guild. My friend said, once they develop into an A-class guild, they'll merge back with Xuanwu."
Originally, Jiang Kai held the attitude of "less trouble is better than more," but hearing this, anger instantly flared.
"Who's the founder of the Godslayer Guild?"
"Seems to be Huang Jianguo, he used to be a vice guild leader of Xuanwu."
Jiang Kai immediately took a deep breath, suppressing himself from erupting right then.
Good grief, this Xuanwu Guild really had plans. They promised him before that they kicked the Huang line out of Xuanwu Guild, but they actually had a backup move.
Establish the Godslayer Guild, then merge again later. That's essentially the Huang family returning to Xuanwu.
At this moment, Jiang Kai suddenly realized how naive his earlier thinking was.
He had only wanted to target the Huang family. But now it seemed, within the Xuanwu Guild, there were plenty of forces who were birds of a feather with the Huangs!
Other people's matters, maybe Jiang Kai didn't want to meddle. But this matter, Jiang Kai absolutely could not ignore!
"Very good, playing this game with me huh!" Jiang Kai narrowed his eyes, his face full of killing intent, scaring the brother trying to rope him in.
"Brother, you, you… why do I feel like you're angrier than us?"
Jiang Kai quickly pulled back his killing intent, awkwardly saying, "Ahem, I, I'm just the kind of person who hates evil like an enemy, can't stand injustice without speaking out."
"We're all wearing gray clothes, naturally we should stand together."
"Really?" that person said in surprise. "That's great, can you use your connections then?"
"What connections, I don't have any…" Jiang Kai said helplessly. "Aren't you guys going to fight them? Count me in."
"Ah?" that person looked disappointed. "Brother, this… your joining doesn't really change anything, does it?"
"I…" Jiang Kai looked at him in surprise. "So you only wanted me to use connections?"
"What else? Let you go fight? You're also gray-clothed, maybe not even transcendent level five. Adding one more person, what, to spread the damage more evenly?"
Jiang Kai was so angry he was utterly helpless.
"Forget it, no more talking. I don't have connections, but anyway, count me in! When are you fighting?"
"Tomorrow morning," that person said. "The War God Hall also has people helping us, we mainly rely on them, but not sure if we can win!" Saying this, he looked at Jiang Kai again. "Brother, if you don't have connections, I advise you not to join. This time both sides are betting big."
"Betting? I hate gambling the most… what are you betting?" Jiang Kai asked.
"Losing means directly quitting the special training camp, never allowed to join again in the future."
Jiang Kai frowned. That wager was a bit small… anyway, since the fight hadn't started yet, he'd wait and see.
"Alright, I'll first go to the Trial Hall. When the time comes, I'll be there too."
After saying that, Jiang Kai walked into the Special Training Hall.
After entering the hall, a staff member led Jiang Kai to an available training room.
"Number 72… coming to train this late? You really are here for a vacation huh… There's a button inside, if you can't hold on, just press it, the training will end. Remember, don't force it." After mechanically saying this, the staff turned and left.
Jiang Kai walked into Training Room 7.
Inside, the ground and walls of the training room were covered with rock similar to volcanic stone, uneven and jagged.
"This is a training room? Feels more like a natural cave." Jiang Kai suddenly remembered what Old Wang said, that the Special Training Hall was actually naturally existing on Ghost Star, and the War God Hall merely built an outer shell.
That could explain the strange environment inside the training rooms.
The training room was small, about 20 square meters. All around the cave walls, wall-fires were embedded, and right next to the entrance was a very conspicuous red button.
That button should be the switch for the training room.
A moment later, the familiar gentle female voice of the Ghost Star system sounded.
[You have entered the special cultivation area. In 10 seconds, the environment of this area will change. Please be prepared.]
After the 10-second countdown, just as Jiang Kai was still anticipating what kind of changes the environment would undergo, he suddenly felt the gravity on his body sharply increase.
The increase in body gravity was actually still bearable, but suddenly Jiang Kai felt short of breath, his heartbeat slowed, his whole body as if trapped in a swamp…
"Damn, so increased gravity feels this bad…" Jiang Kai felt even speaking was difficult. He quickly sat cross-legged to adapt to the current environment as fast as possible.
He needed to increase his flame strength, even gain new special attack abilities. He needed to recover stamina, he needed to improve energy efficiency.
"I must obtain a large amount of points!" Jiang Kai thought. With that, he simply calmed his mind and focused on resisting the pressure brought by gravity.
