Three days later, when the training of Bloodthirsty Camp started again, Lin Xun found that this was the special training designed for every trainee!

The remaining 42 trainees would be trained separately.

Each trainee had a drillmaster to carry out special one-to-one training according to the trainee's characteristics.

This training was aimed at arousing the potential of every trainee.

At the same time, there were many more profound and advanced knowledge in theoretical courses; for example, how to practice a martial art to the Mastery level in the shortest time.

Trainees would learn the challenges and dangers faced by the practitioners in Gang Spirit Realm, Sea Spirit Realm, Tao Insight Realm and Reincarnation Developing Realm respectively.

Such knowledge on cultivation and important secrets of martial arts contained the experience and fruits of painstaking efforts of countless forerunners although it was just a kind of theories. It was very valuable for practitioners because it could hardly be learned in outside world.

Similarly, training like this had never been conducted in the Bloodthirsty Camp in the past.

All these signs proved that Lin Xun and other 41 trainees who had passed all tests won the final recognition of the Bloodthirsty Camp.

And they would enjoy the real inheritance and cultivation of the Bloodthirsty Camp.

...

As the No. 1 of battlefield assessment, Lin Xun had priority in selecting drillmaster.

While many people were speculating that Lin would choose Shu Sanqi as his training drillmaster, Lin Xun chose Young Ke at last.

Shu Sanqi, chief drillmaster, might have incredible power, but for Lin Xun, Shu Sanqi was not the most suitable drillmaster.

Only Young Ke understood how Lin Xun grown from original sixth level of Martial Realm to the present state. Young Ke knew everything about Lin Xun.

Lin Xun believed that only Young Ke could carry out targeted training considering his strengths and weaknesses, thus promoting his progress.

Young Ke responded nothing to Lin's choice, but Young Man expressed heartfelt appreciation for this.

From this day on, Lin Xun started the new training under the guidance of Young Ke.

Though different from the previous training, it wasn't cushy; on the contrary, it was crueler and harsher.

Young Ke was never a merciful drillmaster. She formulated a perfect training plan according to the limits shown by Lin Xun and carried it out consistently.

In this extreme training, Lin Xun run out of all strength everyday, and his body was in a state of fatigue but not reach the extent of self-destruction.

The only good new was that the supply of pills and elixirs in the Bloodthirsty Camp was no longer limited, so that every trainee could recover in the shortest time while he was exhausted and continued his daily training.

Time flew. Lin Xun gradually enjoyed this simple, cruel but highly enriched training life.

His spiritual power, physical strength, soul force and martial arts were gradually improving.

Unlike other trainees, Lin Xun advanced to the Spirit Transformation, the ninth level of Martial Realm, for only a month time. He had a broader promotion space.

With the continuous change of Lin Xun's overall strength, Young Ke made subtle adjustments to the training plan, so as to arouse the potential of Lin Xun to the maximum extent.

Young Ke knew that cultivation was equal to fighting against fate. If one wanted to climb the peak of Taoism, he should lay a solid foundation first.

Martial Realm was the stage of "foundation building" of cultivation. If one did not consolidate the foundation to the extreme in this stage, it would be too late to consolidate the foundation when he promoted to Gang Spirit Realm.

...

Time zipped by silently.

A month later.

In a secret room, Lin Xun took a deep breath, and all his spiritual power was boiling like raging waves.

This story has been taken without authorization. Report any sightings.

His fist was dazzling with azure luster, and then he hit the Spirit Testing Stone.

Buzz!

Spiritual light on the surface of Spirit Testing Stone was surging. A bright light rose and quickly passed scales one after another.

Each scale represented a level of spiritual energy possessed by practitioners of Martial Realm.

Lin Xun, who tested his spiritual power once in Martial Practice Hall of Donglin Town, had the power of 4,900 Jun in his sixth level of Martial Realm!

This also meant that Lin Xun could compete with top practitioners at the eighth level of Martial Realm in terms of spiritual strength at that time.

Now, Lin Xun had reached the ninth level of Martial Realm, and experienced more than half a year of cruel training in the Bloodthirsty Camp. With the help of Nature Insight & Spirit-Devour Scripture, his spiritual strength today was far stronger than before.

Quickly, the shining light on the surface of Spirit Testing Stone easily crossed the scale of "8,000 Jun".

Young Ke, who was next to Lin, was calm as usual.

Generally speaking, the strength of "8,000 Jun" was the highest level of Martial Realm.

But for the trainees in the Bloodthirsty Camp, this standard was too low, and it was not worth paying attention to at all.

However, when she saw that light reaching the position of "9,000 Jun", there was still no sign of slowing down. Instead, it kept rushing upward, which made Young Ke take it seriously.

Nine thousand Jun!

This was already the standard of the level of strength that a good trainee of Bloodthirsty Camp could possess. Young Ke was sure that all of the 42 trainees currently trained in the camp could reach this level.

If you wanted to distinguish the 42 trainees, it depended on how far their testing results could reach after 9,000 Jun.

9,100 Jun.

9,300 Jun.

9,500 Jun.

...

With the rising light on the surface of the Spirit Testing Stone, Young Ke's look became more and more serious. By the time the light passed 9,800 Jun, the rising speed finally slowed down, but Young Ke did not relax. Her eyes were fixed on the Spirit Testing Stone as if she was expecting something.

This Spirit Testing Stone refined by the Academy of Spiritual Implements was precise and stable, which was far better than the ordinary ones on the market.

There were 9,999 scales on the Spirit Testing Stone, and the final one represented the ultimate strength standard that could be reached in the ninth level of Martial Realm. Generally speaking, spiritual power of ordinary practitioners could hardly be higher than 8,000 Jun. But at this moment, Young Ke suddenly found that the scales on the stone seemed inadequate...

When she saw that light reaching the scale of 9,999 and finally disappeared, Young Ke was completely convinced that the scales on the testing stone were not enough for Lin Xun!

Lin Xun's strength obviously exceeded the level of 10,000 Jun! Young Ke's calmness was broke somehow.

Ten thousand Jun!

This was like a huge chasm between ordinary practitioners and outstanding ones. Among the numerous practitioners of Martial Realm in the empire from ancient times to present, it was absolutely rare to see practitioners whose spiritual power was over 10,000 Jun, which meant just one among a million practitioners could reach ten thousand Jun or more!

Even some ordinary practitioners in Gang Spirit Realm could hardly possess such strong spiritual power!

"Drillmaster Ke, my testing result is..."

Lin Xun had also been paying attention to this scene, and he was somehow surprised too.

"You don't need to test again."

Young Ke woke up from her shock and turned away with Lin Xun.

Young Ke visited Shu Sanqi in the night and said, "Lin Xun's spiritual power has also broken through 10,000 Jun."

Shu Sanqi was in a daze and then nodded his head, "It's not a surprise that his spiritual power can reach this level according to his performance in the Demon-cloud Ridge."

So far, among the 42 trainees in the Bloodthirsty Camp, 8 trainees have owned the spiritual power on this level.

So Shu Sanqi did not doubt that Lin Xun's power could reach this level.

"But unlike that of others, Lin Xun's strength showed a slight sign of slowness when he broke through 98,000 Jun. According to my judgement, his final achievement must be far higher than 10,000 Jun."

As soon as Young Ke uttered this remark, Shu Sanqi's eyes narrowed and his cold face showed a serious expression, "What's scale he can reach then?"

"It's hard to tell," Young Ke said. "Unless you change a Spirit Testing Stone and test it again."

Shu Sanqi was helpless at once, "It is impossible. The Spirit Testing Stone in the Bloodthirsty Camp is aimed at the practitioners of Martial Realm. The stone of more than 10,000 Jun is specially designed for practitioners in Gang Spirit Realm. We don't have that kind of stone."

Speaking of this, he could not help sighing, "Who can imagine that the original standards of the empire are not suitable for these young people at all? This is tantamount to breaking the previous record and creating a new record."

Young Ke corrected Shu Sanqi, "It is not only the trainees of our Bloodthirsty Camp that can reach this level in Martial Realm."

Shu Sanqi said, "Have you ever seen someone special like Lin Xun? As far as I know, he hasn't reached the Mastery of ninth level of Martial Realm yet?"

Young Ke understood it thoroughly.

Indeed, Lin Xun had not yet reached Mastery of Spirit Transformation. But he already possessed such strong spiritual power. What kind of power he would have if he had reached the Mastery?

"Remember, everything about him must be kept secret. Talents will face more dangers when they are not strong enough. I don't want him to be spotted by the big shots of the empire."

Shu Sanqi made a decision after short thinking.

Young Ke agreed and asked, "Is it worthwhile for you to do so? You should know that helping trainees hide their secrets is contrary to the will of the empire."

Shu Sanqi narrowed his eyes and remained silent for a long time before he said, "I obey the will of the empire, not the will of the big potatoes. Young Ke, you should understand the difference."

"But it will bring trouble to you if what you do is found out," Young Ke said earnestly.

Shu Sanqi snorted, "I'm helping the empire train the true strong men, instead of working for the big potatoes to train obedient lackeys! If they blame me, it's not a big deal. I will close the Bloodthirsty Camp again just like last time."

Young Ke smiled. She appreciated Shu Sanqi's characteristics as before.

"You do this just for Lin Xun?" Young Ke asked the last question.
