Father Xiao Kangcheng also founded a team named Shao Shan. Originally, he wanted to call it Xiao He, but the Hunting Department made a rule that the original camp names couldn’t be used, so he changed one character to Shao Shan.
The Shao Shan team was clearly founded by my father to commemorate the Xiao He Camp.
Although it’s quite weak now and doesn’t rank within the twenty-three hunting teams, Xiao Hen has witnessed his father’s hard work in managing it.
So, it goes without saying, once he breaks through the Earth-digging Realm, he will definitely join the Shao Shan team to help his father.
Thinking of breaking through, Xiao Hen immediately asked, "A Lin, what is the current record age for breaking through to the Earth-digging Realm?"
Xiao Lin, who loves finding out about these things, quickly replied, "Fifteen years and nine months, named Li Yuanqing."
Fifteen years and nine months.
Hearing this number, Xiao Hen’s expression instantly showed some frustration.
He was already fifteen years and seven months old, with a basic strength of 7,400 jin. Given the current pace of cultivation, it was almost impossible to break this record by reaching the Earth-digging Realm within the next two months.
"Ah Heng, stop thinking about it. We’ve had too hard a life before, our cultivation talents and physical foundations are incomparable to those from Great Xia. For example, Liu Peng, who just broke through the Logging Realm, do you think he’s impressive? I just overheard them discussing that Liu Peng’s record might be broken in just a few days."
Xiao Hen, puzzled by the words, thought breaking through to the Logging Realm at age eleven was already extraordinary. How could it be broken in a few days?
"There are several kids just over ten years old, all trying to break through the Logging Realm. Among them, a child named Lu Dong is already on the brink of breaking through, poised to set a new record."
Xiao Hen was already feeling a bit numb.
He had broken through the Logging Realm at age thirteen, which was a sensation at the camp for several months. His father even said there would probably not be anyone younger than him in the Logging Realm in the Five Ape Mountain region.
Just over ten, Logging Realm!
"A Lin, we need to hurry up and train, not waste time. Fifty Contribution Points per day aren’t cheap and should be utilized well. Next time we may not know when we get to come here again."
Xiao Hen felt a strong sense of urgency. After speaking, he immediately focused on training.
The Martial Arts Hall only had 200 spots daily, and having Contribution Points doesn’t guarantee entry to train.
The Camp Supply Department allocated spots in the Martial Arts Hall, dividing them according to cultivation into three parts: Earth-digging Realm the most, with 120 spots; Logging Realm 50 spots; below Logging Realm 30 spots.
Even with this, they had to rotate through them, showing just how tight the quotas were.
Currently, the camp had over 4,000 people in the Logging Realm, relying solely on those 50 spots. It would take Xiao Lin at least three months to get inside once.
His own situation was a bit better, as he had quite a good aptitude. The Camp Supply Department would give special consideration, but even so, it would be over a month before he could come in once.
In recent days, both he and Xiao Lin could train here, not only because their fathers provided their Contribution Points, but also because the spots were from their fathers.
This wasn’t uncommon in the camp, with many older members in the Earth-digging Realm doing the same.
The Camp Supply Department recently issued a regulation stating that entry spots to the Martial Arts Hall could be transferred but only allowed between blood relatives.
Because of this, not just him and Xiao Lin but others who took over spots from their parents or relatives also trained very diligently.
"Time’s up, everyone out!"
Time slowly passed. As the person responsible for the Martial Arts Hall gave the reminder, everyone who had trained for the day gradually walked out.
Xiao Hen and Xiao Lin were among the crowd, feeling that their basic strength had increased significantly. They were excited yet a bit reluctant.
"If only we could stay and train in the Martial Arts Hall forever."
"Not realistic, it’s not just us who want to become stronger..."
Xiao Hen shook his head slightly, pointing in front of the Martial Arts Hall after speaking.
Outside the Martial Arts Hall, another group of two hundred was ready and immediately filled in after their batch exited.
Xiao Lin shrugged and, with Xiao Hen, followed the crowd toward the wooden building.
Just before dawn, as they walked, they noticed a small group in the crowd veering around the wooden building, heading to the side.
"What are they going to do?"
Xiao Lin’s curious nature immediately surfaced. He quickly moved to the front row and followed, not forgetting to pull Xiao Hen along.
The two followed the crowd around the wooden building to the front, on the west side, where a few wooden houses came into view, and the discussions among the front crowd reached their ears.
"Is that finished one the house of Lord Minister?"
"Of course, the one being built next to it is for Lord Yuan Cheng, the captain of the Dragon Slayer Team."
"Besides these two, there are still eight others under construction? So many?"
"The owner’s names are written above the houses. Look for yourselves."
"Number 3 Luo Yuan, Number 4 Zhao Long, Number 5 Zhao Hu, Number 6 Zhao Bao, Number 7 Huang Yong, Number 8 Hong Gang, Number 9 Ying Xuan, Number 10 Yue Feng, how do they have so much Contribution Value? I remember plot number 11 already costs 5,000 points, and plots 3 to 10 are closer to the wooden building, wouldn’t they be even more expensive?"
"Nonsense, Lord Luo Yuan is the captain of the Tiger Leopard Team; Lords Zhao Long, Zhao Hu, and Zhao Bao are the captains of the Falcon, Steel Tusk, and Golden Eagle teams, respectively; Lord Huang Yong is the captain of the Zhao Long Team. You wouldn’t be unaware of these five hunting teams, right?"
"So it’s them, no wonder."
"But wait, Lord Minister, Lord Yuan, and these five captains, we understand their hunting teams are strong and possess lots of Contribution Value, but what about the other three?"
