Let's set off for the Elite Training Camp!

In the time that followed, Lin Xiao buried himself in the Wilderness Forest.

His name even spread throughout the Vicious Beast circles on the outskirts of the Wilderness, known for being incredibly brutal, more vicious than the Vicious Beasts themselves.

This also led to him sometimes not encountering a single Vicious Beast for half a day.

After punching and killing the second-order Vicious Beast in front of him, the System's mechanical voice echoed in his mind.

Lin Xiao looked up at the sky; it was time to go back.

"Tomorrow is the one-month deadline, so I'll stop here today and go back to rest early."

He hadn't forgotten that on the day of his Awakening, the Principal had given him a spot in the Prodigy Training Camp, and tomorrow was the last day.

After exchanging some Materials for gold coins, Lin Xiao concluded his month-long journey in the Wilderness.

"He finally left... With him around, we couldn't even get a hand in on these tasks."

"Don't even mention it, I haven't even seen the shadow of a single first-order Vicious Beast during this time, it's like seeing a ghost."

"You still don't know? That guy has killed them almost to extinction."

"Tsk tsk."

Returning to his dilapidated small room, Lin Xiao glanced at his panel.

Cultivation Points: 43548 (Exchangeable Cultivation Points: 18354)

After working so hard for so many days and only getting this much, Lin Xiao was not very satisfied.

He just shook his head.

"The Vicious Beasts on the outskirts of the Wilderness Forest are almost extinct, and the deeper parts are Sealed off."

He had thought about going deeper to kill them, but a mysterious Seal blocked him.

The System said it was the power of a Formation, and with his current strength, he temporarily couldn't break through it.

He scratched his head, wondering what was happening in the deeper parts.

"System, exchange Cultivation Points!"

"Ding, exchange successful."

Cultivation Points became 61902.

After thinking about it, he decided to continue using them on his innate Special Ability.

"System, add points to my talent!"

"Ding, points added successfully!"

"Talent: SSS-rank Special Ability Space-Time (Super SSS-rank Space-Time Sacred Law Origin, Awakening progress 14%)

Space-Time Divine Eyes (One of the Ten Great Divine Eyes of the Heavens, Awakening progress 12%)"

"So little?!"

After spending 60,000, his two major innate Special Abilities combined only increased by less than 5%.

"System, you didn't cut corners, did you!"

Lin Xiao's tone was a bit off; he had worked so hard killing Vicious Beasts for so many days, and he felt like he was working for the System.

"Ding, this System is fair and just. this system brother disdains such despicable and base behavior!"

Suddenly, a knock on the door interrupted his thoughts.

A familiar voice came from outside the door, "Excuse me, is this the home of Lin Xiao from No. 3 Middle School?"

Hmm? This voice, it sounded like the Principal.

Lin Xiao opened the door and, sure enough, it was the Principal!

"Lin Xiao, I hope I'm not disturbing your rest." Principal Chu smiled as he looked at Lin Xiao.

At the same time, he turned to introduce the middle-aged man beside him.

"District Chief Ma, this is my student from No. 3 Middle School, Lin Xiao."

Lin Xiao's gaze fell on the middle-aged man. His facial features were very proper, and he wore a Zhongshan suit with slicked-back hair.

Hmm, just right!

"Hello, Student Lin Xiao, I am the District Chief of Pingan District, my surname is Ma." District Chief Ma extended his right hand.

Lin Xiao quickly extended his right hand and stepped forward, "Hello, District Chief Ma!"

"Haha, you don't need to be so formal. I also heard from your Principal Chu that his No. 3 Middle School produced an exceptionally talented Prodigy."

"Now it seems, Old Chu, you didn't lie."

Principal Chu, standing by, chuckled. These days, he had practically spread this news throughout the upper echelons of Pingan District.

This also led to all the high-ranking officials in the entire district knowing that No. 3 Middle School had produced a young man with an SSS-rank Special Ability talent this year.

Lin Xiao looked at his Principal, not expecting him to promote him so vigorously.

"Uh... District Chief Ma, Principal, please come in."

"We won't go in. I came today because I personally wanted to meet the number one Prodigy of our Pingan District."

District Chief Ma did not enter. As the person in charge of the entire Pingan District, if such a talented Prodigy emerged in his jurisdiction, he certainly had to see him.

"Lin Xiao, it's our first meeting, so I didn't prepare too much. You just Awakened, so here's 10 million in funds, which is the government's reward for you."

District Chief Ma pulled out a bank card. He had already checked Lin Xiao's background, and it was very clean.

For such a Prodigy from a humble background, their local government had a special reward System.

They also hoped to help these Geniuses from humble backgrounds grow faster.

Lin Xiao's eyes lit up when he heard about the money. He quickly took the bank card with both hands, continuously expressing his gratitude.

"Thank you, leader, thank you, government!"

"Old Chu, you were right, this kid is quite a money-grubber." District Chief Ma turned to his old friend upon seeing this.

It was he who suggested giving money directly.

"Haha, this kid is good in every way, except for this greedy habit..."

Principal Chu and District Chief Ma had been old friends for many years, having fought on the battlefield together, and their relationship was very good.

"Well then, Lin Xiao, District Chief Ma and I won't disturb your rest. Oh, and remember to come to school tomorrow, the Prodigy Training Camp staff will come to pick you up then."

After Principal Chu finished speaking, he and District Chief Ma left.

From afar, their discussion could still be heard.

"How about it, Old Ma, isn't my student great!" "A Dragon and Phoenix among men, Old Chu, where in the world did you get such a stroke of luck!"

District Chief Ma, as the head of the entire Pingan District, possessed a Peak fifth-order Special Ability Cultivation.

He discovered that the student's body contained an incredibly vast amount of energy, which greatly astonished him.

Lin Xiao, meanwhile, happily looked at his balance. He planned to save up to 1 million Cultivation Points again before making a comprehensive improvement.

The next day.

"System, sign in!"

"Ding, sign-in successful, rewarding 10 Special Ability Stones."

Hmm? Special Ability Stones?

What are these?

He looked at the stones emitting a strange glow in the System space. With a thought, a Special Ability Stone appeared in his hand.

"Such dense Special Ability energy."

Lin Xiao discovered that this stone contained a very dense Special Ability, and he tried it out—this Special Ability could be directly absorbed into the body.

"Isn't this equivalent to the Spirit Stones mentioned in novels from my previous life?"

"Good stuff!"

His luck was good, and he was in a great mood.

After a quick tidying up, Lin Xiao set off towards the school.

At the entrance of No. 3 Middle School.

Lin Xiao approached and found the Principal waiting for him at the entrance.

"Hello, Principal."

"Lin Xiao, you're here. The people coming to pick you up will arrive soon, let's wait here." Principal Chu looked at his proud student and motioned for him to stand beside him.

"Okay, Principal."

Not long after, a black extended bus drove up, and a Plainclothes Martial Artist stepped out from the door.

"May I ask who is Lin Xiao?"

"I am!"

"I am the staff member responsible for the Prodigy Training Camp's pick-up service. Student Lin Xiao, please proceed to the Prodigy Training Camp. This is my work ID."

The Plainclothes Martial Artist pulled out a Prodigy Training Camp staff ID card stamped with the Dragon Kingdom's Seal.

Principal Chu glanced at it, and after confirming it was correct, he nodded to Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao looked at the black bus. There were other figures inside. He turned to bid a brief farewell to the Principal, then boarded the bus.

The bus started, heading towards its destination.

Lin Xiao chose a window seat and sat down. Including him, there were nearly 100 young people on the entire bus.

He roughly scanned them with his Mental Energy.

Hmm... it seemed there wasn't anyone particularly formidable.

The other people on the bus saw a newcomer and curiously looked at Lin Xiao.

They all came from various regions as Prodigies, with powerful family backgrounds, extensive resources, and connections. In the past, the Prodigy Training Camp was basically a training ground for Noble Families' children.

But they heard from their elders that this year, an eccentric had appeared, with a very powerful talent, and was directly given a spot by the person in charge of the Prodigy Training Camp.

And which of them wasn't a Prodigy?

Regarding this Prodigy from a humble background, some of them showed disdain and whispered mockery, some were observing, and some were indifferent.

Lin Xiao didn't know that his reputation had already spread so widely among these 100 people.

"Brother, do you mind if I sit here?"

A slender young man sat down next to him.

"Let me introduce myself, I am Murong Yun, from the Murong Family of the Northwest Tianrong District."

Lin Xiao turned to look at this young man.

"Lin Xiao, Pingan District No. 3 Middle School."

"So your name is Lin Xiao, I've long admired you." Murong Yun showed a curious gaze.

"Hmm? Brother Murong, what do you mean by that?" Lin Xiao frowned slightly, sensing a different tone.

"Hmm? You don't know?"

"Know what?"

"It seems you really don't know, what a lucky guy." Murong Yun, seeing that Lin Xiao didn't seem to be faking his expression, immediately began to explain.

It turned out that not just anyone could enter the Prodigy Training Camp. Generally speaking, thousands of Geniuses from the entire western region would be recommended each year, and after a series of screenings, only the top hundred could truly enter the Prodigy Training Camp.

And Lin Xiao, from a humble background in a small place, with no background whatsoever, was actually given a guaranteed spot.

If it weren't for the unusual background of the Prodigy Training Camp's person in charge, which made those powerful families quite apprehensive, it wouldn't be so easy for a humble family's child to enter the Prodigy Training Camp.

But even so, many high-level Noble Families had issued numerous directives, all targeting Lin Xiao.

The dignity of powerful families must not be infringed upon!

"So that's how it is..." Lin Xiao hadn't expected such a thing.

"How about it, are you panicking?" Murong Yun had been observing the changes in Lin Xiao's expression.

"Because you were directly given a spot, you missed quite a bit. The final competition in this selection is individual strength!"

"This batch of ours has produced quite a few formidable individuals!"

Murong Yun spoke while observing, and he suddenly noticed that Lin Xiao's expression was extremely calm.

He was a bit puzzled, was this kid faking it?

"See that guy sitting at the very back?"

"He's from the Northwest's number one Noble Family, the Tuoba Family, named Tuoba Shi. He has an S-rank Special Ability talent—Innate Divine Power. In less than a month, he has already broken through to the Peak Late Stage of the first-order, and his pure Physical Body strength is comparable to the Early Stage of the second-order!"

"And that one, named Gongsun Qin, has an S-rank Special Ability talent—Netherworld, also with a Late Stage first-order Special Ability Cultivation."

"The most terrifying one is that girl, with an SS-rank Special Ability talent—Frost. She has a military background, and some speculate that she might have already broken through to the second-order."

Oh?

Lin Xiao's gaze subtly shifted towards that young girl.

SS-rank Special Ability—Frost?

Not bad.

He interrupted the increasingly excited Murong Yun.

"Brother Murong, you know them so well, you must not be an ordinary person yourself!"

Murong Yun was startled. Good heavens, you're even probing me now.

"Brother Lin is joking. Compared to them, I, Yun, am not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning."

After speaking, Murong Yun said no more. He also realized that this Lin Xiao was exceptionally good at pretending!

He deliberately revealed the strength and backgrounds of those Prodigies, intending to shock the young man in front of him.

He hadn't expected him to maintain such composure.

Lin Xiao's brows suddenly furrowed. His eyes looked into the distance, and a hint of divine light faintly flickered in his pupils.

At the same time, the driver and the Plainclothes Martial Artist exchanged glances, then suddenly disappeared from the car.

"Indeed."

"If nothing unexpected happened, I'd doubt whether I was the protagonist or not."

Lin Xiao sighed inwardly.

If nothing unexpected happened, then an accident did happen.
