"Fine. Very good."
The black-robed youth’s expression shifted repeatedly before finally settling into a cold sneer.
"I admit that your strength has completely exceeded my expectations. But do not become too pleased with yourselves."
He swept his gaze across Li Yun and the others before continuing in a threatening tone.
"I might as well tell you something. Within the Genius Training Camp, we are far from the only people who find you unpleasant. In fact, among those people, we are probably the weakest."
"Defeating us means almost nothing. Before long, stronger experts who dislike you will naturally step forward. When that happens, your end will be far more miserable than anything you can imagine."
"Let us go."
After leaving behind those words, the black-robed youth did not remain any longer.
He turned around and led the other five cultivators away, quickly disappearing from Li Yun and the others’ sight.
"They bully the weak and fear the strong. What a bunch of useless cowards."
Xie Wushang sneered coldly.
He did not take the black-robed youth’s threats seriously at all.
He admitted that there were certainly many people within the Genius Training Camp who were stronger than him. However, in his eyes, most of those people simply had the advantage of having cultivated for several more years and possessing a higher cultivation realm.
If their cultivation levels were equal, Xie Wushang feared no one.
"Li Yun, remember this."
He suddenly turned toward Li Yun and sneered.
"As the number one genius of our session’s Heaven’s Chosen Assembly, if you lose to some insignificant nobody here and make the rest of us lose face along with you, I will personally step in and tear you apart."
"You do not need to worry about that."
Li Yun’s expression remained indifferent.
He understood very clearly that, as the champion of this session’s Heaven’s Chosen Assembly, he would inevitably attract attention wherever he went.
Even if he remained completely quiet and never provoked anyone, there would still be people who would deliberately seek him out and try to step on him to raise their own reputation.
Li Yun was completely calm about such matters.
Whoever came, he would face them.
Since he had entered the Genius Training Camp, there was no reason for him to fear challenges.
Anyone who wanted to use him as a stepping stone needed to be prepared for the possibility that they would instead be defeated by him and have their reputation crushed.
Afterward, Li Yun’s group dispersed, with everyone choosing an empty stone house as their temporary residence.
Inside Li Yun’s stone house, the interior was just as plain as its appearance suggested.
There was only a stone bed, a stone table, and several stone stools.
Other than those simple furnishings, there was nothing else.
On the stone table rested a jade slip.
With a thought, Li Yun picked it up and swept his soul power through it.
His brows immediately twitched.
The jade slip recorded several important matters concerning the Genius Training Camp.
The first section explained the differences in treatment between ordinary members, elite members, and core members.
Ordinary members formed the largest group in the Genius Training Camp.
Their treatment followed the standard rules, and there was nothing particularly special about it.
However, elite members received considerably better treatment.
There were only fifty elite members in total.
Aside from receiving twice the monthly base points of ordinary members, elite members could cultivate for an additional three days inside the Enlightenment Pagoda every month.
When they entered the other five major secret realms, they only needed to spend two-thirds of the points required from ordinary members.
In addition, elite members could use points to exchange for certain treasures that ordinary members had no authority to obtain
Just as the middle-aged man in green robes had explained earlier, points were the only circulating currency inside the Genius Training Camp.
Everything required points.
Points could be exchanged for time inside the secret realms, and they could also be exchanged for countless treasures.
The range of available resources was astonishingly broad.
There were cultivation techniques, martial skills, spiritual artifacts, medicinal pills, rare spiritual materials, and many other treasures that were rarely seen outside.
One could even spend points to receive guidance from powerful experts.
If someone possessed enough points, they could even request Elder Qing himself to provide personal guidance.
Of course, the number of points required for that would be an astronomical amount.
However, although points were extremely important, they were not all-powerful.
Some unusually rare and precious treasures on the exchange list required not only enough points, but also sufficient authority.
This authority came from special statuses such as elite member or core member.
At first glance, being able to exchange for a few additional treasures might not seem particularly significant.
But in reality, all the treasures restricted by authority were exceptionally rare. Many of them were things that could not be purchased in the outside world even if someone possessed enough wealth.
Such treasures could provide enormous assistance in increasing a cultivator’s strength.
Compared to elite members, core members received treatment that was even more astonishing.
Core members could cultivate for an additional seven days inside the Enlightenment Pagoda every month.
When entering the other five major secret realms, they only needed to spend half the points required from ordinary members.
Furthermore, core members faced no authority restrictions when exchanging for treasures.
For ordinary treasures that did not require special authority, they even received a twenty percent discount.
Naturally, this discount did not apply to treasures that already required special authority.
Even so, such treatment was enough to make countless ordinary members extremely envious.
The geniuses from the Heaven’s Chosen Assembly had only just entered the Genius Training Camp, yet several of them had immediately received elite or core member status.
It was no wonder that many existing members were dissatisfied with them.
After all, even many experts at the 3rd level of Spirit Manifestation Realm were still only ordinary members.
Their strength was clearly higher, yet their status was lower than Li Yun and the others.
It was only natural that resentment would appear.
Li Yun shook his head slightly and continued reading the jade slip.
