Chapter 38: Summons

Elite Training Camp, Ninth‑Level Tower trial chamber.

Zhou Yang, who had just pushed the door open, was instantly surrounded by a noisy crowd!

Trainees of all skin tones jostled forward, scrambling to get ahead.

"Zhou Yang, congratulations on breaking into the top fifty of the ranking in your first month; I am from the Flame Organization."

"You go ahead, I got there first, Zhou Yang, I'm from the HR Alliance, I—"

"Zhou Yang, hello, I'm representing our Huaxia Military and would like to invite you."

"Junior Zhou Yang, I'm Elena; may I ask if you have a girlfriend?"

One by one, trainees and even teachers offered him blessings.

"Actually, the training camp is on break in January and February; I won't be able to use it until March."

The Inspector—he's truly a top figure of the Jixian Wuguan.

"Inspector Wang's summons this time is probably to discuss a contract with you; make sure your attitude is respectful later."

Immediately after, the voice of Teacher Dong Dao sounded on the other end of the phone.

Senior Sister Zhao Ruo's gaze kept scanning him, her face showing an exaggerated expression.

He couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Inspector Wang, seated behind the tea table, gave him a faint smile.

The offers from each faction were truly top‑tier; the annual event budgets alone ran into hundreds of billions!

"Um, that's true, but I've turned them all down."

In an instant, Zhou Yang felt as if he were enveloped by the endless Xingkong, his gaze sinking irretrievably into it.

Teacher Dong Dao waved his hand indifferently and continued:

The reception room contained no chairs, only a low‑legged tea table placed in the center.

With the door to the reception room open, Zhou Yang, looking deferential, stepped straight inside.

"Hahaha, senior brothers and sisters, you're flattering me; I just happened to breakthrough my gun technique, which let me reach the top fifty."

Senior Brother Shi Jiang said with a smile.

"The teacher's call?"

Zhou Yang was startled—could it be?

"Got it, teacher, I'm coming right over!"

"Let me tell you, before Great Nirvana I was an Alliance professional player, and my Chrysanthemum Gun was absolutely top‑notch."

"Come in."

A noble‑bearing middle‑aged woman smiled and greeted:

"Brother Dong, stay and chat with us, and tell us about the times before Great Nirvana."

Zhou Yang quickly changed clothes and rushed outward.

"Feel free to sit, no need to be restrained."

"Don't be nervous; it's a good thing."

Teacher Dong Dao's reply confirmed his suspicion.

During the challenge of the Trial Tower's second floor, stage a, he luckily grasped the second level of the "Apocalypse" gun technique.

He quickly pressed the answer button.

Moments later, he rendezvoused with Teacher Dong Dao, and under his lead they headed toward the villa district deep within the training camp.

Zhou Yang walked alone up the stairs to the second floor.

She was petite, with a neat short haircut, slightly darker skin, and not very large eyes.

She didn't seem to be his type.

"Sorry, senior sister, women only slow down my gun‑drawing speed!"

Even many people asked whether he was single.

Zhou Yang didn't dare stay long; he found an excuse and fled in a hasty scramble toward the residence at Jiangnan Pavilion.

He only suffered a regrettable failure when he reached stage a of the third floor.

"Haha, good! Zhou Yang, you go up."

He couldn't help but sigh.

Soon, Zhou Yang returned to Jiangnan Pavilion.

"Teacher Dong, the Inspector is waiting for you; please come in quickly."

"Is this the power that surpasses a War God level? I'm still far behind!"

"Pfft—hahaha."

"Fiftieth place, then next month I can use the gravity chamber and trial chamber for four hours, right?"

"Junior brother, no need to be modest; you're the first to break into the top fifty in the first month."

Fortunately, the feeling vanished in an instant, and the next second he snapped back to reality.

Before he could act, a slightly hoarse voice sounded in the reception room.

Soon the living room echoed with his booming voice.

In the end he actually surged straight to the 50th spot!

The teacher, looking like a little old man, was flushed and asked with a smile:

"You've just broken into the Black Dragon Ranking at 50th place, causing quite a stir; by now, many major forces must have approached you, right?"

That also caused his total points to double‑spike, achieving consecutive jumps.

"On the contrary, they're hurrying to figure out how to bind you to the great ship of the Jixian Wuguan."

Zhou Yang stepped forward and bowed slightly.

Following the scent of tea, he easily arrived at the doorway of the second‑floor reception room.

"Brother Dong, you're here? Old Wang is in the upstairs reception room; let that kid named Zhou Yang go up directly."

He looked about forty, sported a moustache shaped like a pair of commas, his face was slightly lean, yet one could faintly discern the handsome bearing of his youth.

Taking the opportunity, he smoothly elevated his gun technique realm to the Specialist level.

"Junior brother, you're really awesome, it's like a bull on a rampage!"

At that moment he was sitting with his eyes closed, meditating, while a cup of clear tea on the table before him emitted a delicate fragrance.

"Inspection Envoy summons?"

"Yes, Teacher."

The instant the courtyard gate was pushed open, two ghost‑like figures rushed straight to his front.

At that moment, the cell phone set aside rang suddenly.

"It's fine, this is normal; the Martial Arts Academy's higher‑ups won't say anything."

These five Inspection Envoys have already reached the pinnacle of human strength, each one a being that surpasses a war god!

At that moment Senior sister Zhao Ruo gently brushed the strands hanging over her forehead, and her gaze toward Zhou Yang turned eager.

Zhou Yang smiled shyly.

"Come meet me immediately; Inspection Envoy Wang wants to summon you!"

"These people are really enthusiastic!"

A figure behind the tea table sat cross‑legged in silence.

In the end his Trial Tower level settled at 3.1.

With his power‑output level boosted to three times, his combat Amplitude directly reached 9.3!

"Junior brother, may I ask you something!"

Normally, the real decision‑makers of Jixian Wuguan are the five Inspection Envoys.

Even the usually steady Senior brother Shi Jiang couldn't help but blurt out two words:

Around ten a. m. the next day, Zhou Yang was silently mastering the second‑tier power technique of 'Extinction' in the Secret Chamber beneath Jiangnan Pavilion.

"Teacher, the Inspection Envoy summoned me; do you know what it's for?"

On the road, Zhou Yang tentatively asked Dong Dao.

In the end, under a full‑force burst, he managed to clear the b and c phases of the second layer in one breath!

When such a powerful and lofty figure summons you, it surely isn't for a trivial matter.

Moreover, many took the chance to extend invitations on behalf of the forces behind them.

When Zhou Yang mimicked the other's posture and sat cross‑legged opposite him at the tea table, Inspection Envoy Wang reached out and pushed a contract toward him.

The silver‑haired Teacher Dong Dao gave Zhou Yang a brief instruction and walked toward the living room.

The cross‑seated Inspection Envoy Wang lifted his eyelids, his gaze sweeping toward him.

Zhou Yang followed Teacher Dong Dao, and soon they arrived in front of a villa styled after ancient Tang‑dynasty China.

"Sir Inspection Envoy."

A faint tea aroma drifted into his mouth and nose.

"Awesome!"

Following the butler into the villa's interior, Zhou Yang immediately saw several dignified women chatting in the first‑floor hall.

Hall Master Hong, being the world's strongest, devoted most of his energy to martial‑path exploration.

At the villa's entrance, an elderly man looking like a butler waited for them.

Zhou Yang was startled and couldn't help to size up the senior sister before him.

"Ah?"

However, he had already slain nearly half of the fifty intermediate beast‑general monsters in the a phase of the third layer.

Zhou Yang replied.

"Um, junior brother, do you have a girlfriend?"

"In your first month in the training camp you surged to rank 50; junior brother, you literally made history! Absolutely, absolutely."

"This is the contract the Martial Arts Academy prepared for you; take a look, and if there's no issue, go ahead and sign it."
