152: Chapter 152 Blue Star Genius Training Camp

The day after the tournament concluded, at the Han City Federal Headquarters.

Inside the Chairman's office, Minister Li Long placed a summary of the finals in front of Chen Mo.

"Chairman, this is the detailed information and final score summary for all seventy-two finalists."

Among the seventy-two finalists, competitors from the Xia Kingdom accounted for eighteen, securing fifteen of the top three spots across the six categories.

Only in the Basic Realm Early Stage category, limited by the differences in the progress of nationwide Cultivation, was the Xia Kingdom's best result only third place, with the champion and runner-up spots taken by competitors from Europa and the United States, respectively.

Chen Mo swept his gaze over it, and all the information was instantly imprinted into his mind.

He put down the light screen and pondered for a moment, "Send out the notice: all seventy-two finalists who Advanced to the finals are to be included in the Federal Genius cultivation system.

Establish the Blue Star Genius Training Camp, with Cheng Jian serving as the Chief Instructor.

Additionally, launch the Genius Selection Plan for the twelve major continents; screen geniuses from each continent annually to supplement the training camp and implement a dynamic entry and exit mechanism."

"Understood." Minister Li Long immediately took note, then asked, "Chairman, how should the top three competitors be arranged? And regarding the champion's reward, what do you think..."

"The top three in the six categories will be listed as seeds one through three, enjoying the highest level of resource allocation."

Chen Mo said calmly, "I will personally fulfill the additional rewards for the champions tomorrow."

Over the next half hour, the two finalized many details such as the training camp's resource allocation, assessment cycles, and elimination criteria.

From the spirit source quota to Cultivation guarantees, and from the authorization of Advanced exercise methods to the matching of weapon forging, every item was implemented in reality.

Once the plan was finalized, the notice was sent to all competitors as quickly as possible.

...

That afternoon, all seventy-two finalists received a notice from the Extraordinary General Administration, requiring them to immediately assemble at the General Administration's special training base.

The news came suddenly, and everyone was a bit confused.

Inside the spacious conference room, crowds were moving, and the sound of discussion rose and fell.

Originally, everyone thought that only the top three would receive focused training from the Federation to prepare for the legendary Regional Genius Tournament.

Many of the competitors who missed the podium were still immersed in disappointment and regret; some were reviewing their mistakes in the competition, while others were secretly sighing about their bad luck.

But now, the Federation had actually summoned everyone?

The eighteen competitors from the Xia Kingdom naturally gathered together.

It wasn't intentional exclusion; it was just that the Chinese of most competitors from other continents was still very poor.

Communicating involved speaking and gesturing, and some words required pondering for a long time, making the efficiency extremely low.

Xiao Xuan leaned against the wall with his arms crossed, looking at Grandmaster Zhao Wuji, who was resting with his eyes closed beside him: "Grandmaster Zhao, do you have any news? Why were we all suddenly summoned here?"

Grandmaster Zhao Wuji slowly opened his eyes, shook his head slightly, and said in a calm tone: "I'm not sure. Since they called us here, there must be an arrangement. Don't be impatient."

"Hey, I actually heard an old comrade from the military mention something." Zhang Feng leaned in, his voice very low, "It seems to be related to the Regional Genius Tournament, but I didn't find out exactly what's going on."

Xiao Xuan glanced at him, speechless: "You might as well not have said anything."

Beside them, the taciturn Lin Mo nodded slightly, as if in agreement.

"Ah, it's just a guess." Zhang Feng scratched his head and looked towards the stage, "Whatever it is, it can't be a bad thing. I just regret that I didn't perform well in the finals; otherwise, I might have gotten some guidance from the Chairman."

There was regret in his tone, but not much jealousy, purely the unyielding spirit of a strong person meeting another strong person.

"I am looking forward to the Chairman's guidance." Grandmaster Zhao Wuji said softly.

As soon as these words were spoken, several people nodded one after another, their eyes filled with longing.

Not far away, competitors from other continents were also discussing in twos and threes.

Andre from Europa stood at the very front of the crowd, his brows slightly furrowed, his eyes sharp beneath his golden hair.

As the only non-Xia Kingdom competitor to win a category championship, his spirit was extremely high; at this moment, he felt both anticipation and a trace of unyielding defiance.

There were also competitors complaining in low voices that the reason for the summons wasn't even stated in advance.

But complaints were just complaints; no one was willing to leave.

This was the highest-level summons from the Federation; even a fool knew it meant an opportunity.

A few minutes later, the conference room door opened.

Minister Li Long was in a black uniform with a solemn expression, and Cheng Jian followed by his side with steady steps.

As soon as the two entered, the buzzing discussion instantly subsided, and everyone stood up in unison.

"Hello, Minister! Hello, Captain Cheng!"

"Sit down." Minister Li Long raised his hand, walked to the podium, and swept his gaze across the audience, "I know you all have questions.

Today, I summoned everyone here to announce only one thing—the Federation's first 'Genius Cultivation Plan' is officially launched."

The eyes of everyone in the audience lit up at the same time.

"The original plan only covered the top three of the tournament." Minister Li Long's voice was steady and powerful.

"But the Chairman personally approved: for the sake of fairness, and so as not to bury any talented individual, all seventy-two people who broke into the finals will be included in the Blue Star Genius Training Camp, with unified training, unified assessment, and shared federal resources."

As the voice fell, an irrepressible gasp of surprise erupted from the audience.

Everyone was stunned.

It was no surprise that the top three stayed, but all seventy-two of them?

Those competitors who had originally prepared to go home first showed astonishment on their faces, followed by an irrepressible ecstasy.

To think... everyone was included?!

Minister Li Long raised his hand to press down, and the venue quieted down again.

"Of course, resources are not distributed equally." He continued, "The top three in the six categories will be seeds one, two, and three respectively, enjoying the highest level of resources and Cultivation Technique permissions. The rest are members of the reserve camp."

"The training camp will implement monthly assessments with elimination for the bottom-ranked, and at the same time, new geniuses will be selected from the twelve major continents every year to be added.

The capable rise, the mediocre fall; it is fair and open."

"All training, all resources, have only one ultimate goal—to prepare for the Spirit Energy Universe Regional Genius Tournament.

To represent humanity on Blue Star and compete on the same stage with Prodigies from the entire region."

As his voice fell, there was silence in the venue, and then the sound of breathing became a bit heavier.

Regional Genius Tournament.

These five words weighed heavily on everyone's heart; there was pressure, but even more, there was boiling Battle Intent.

That was a battlefield where countless races in the Universe competed on the same stage!

To be able to represent humanity and stand there, even just to participate, was a lifelong honor.

"Next, Chief Instructor Cheng Jian will announce the training rules."

Minister Li Long stepped aside.

Cheng Jian stepped forward, his gaze as sharp as an eagle's, sweeping across the audience.

"I am Cheng Jian, your Chief Instructor."

His voice was not loud, but it carried a soldier's toughness, "Let me make this clear first: the training camp is not a place to enjoy life.

You were able to reach the finals, so your talent is not bad. But here, talent is just the threshold."

"The training camp will continue until the Regional Genius Tournament begins. During this time, some people will be eliminated, and new people will join.

Those who can persist until the end will receive the best resources in the entire Federation and become the strongest batch of Evolvers on this planet."

The people in the audience listened with boiling blood, their eyes fixed tightly on Cheng Jian.

But immediately after, Cheng Jian's tone changed:

"But correspondingly, what you have to pay is also something ordinary people cannot imagine.

The most extreme physical tempering, the most rigorous Mental Power polishing, day-after-day repetition, and the pressure of potentially being eliminated at any moment."

"In addition, I am clearly stating an iron rule here: before the Regional Genius Tournament ends, everyone is forbidden from making a Breakthrough to the Source Power Realm. Including myself."

As soon as this sentence was spoken, there was an uproar in the audience.
