    Harrison rk, you have already gained a huge advantage in the first three events. As long as you dont make any major mistakes in thest two events and dont get two zero scores, you are basically guaranteed a ce in the top 100 of the entire army,


    In the small temporarybat meeting room, Daniel Thompson was repeatedly advising Harrison rk on the precautions for spacebat and groundbat.


    Professor Owen and Nora Camp were also present in the meeting room, whereas Martha Owen and representatives from Ancient Civilization Research Institute were listening online.


    Now, Harrison rk possessed extremely high research value.


    Not only because of his 100% adaptability but also due to his horrifying talent. Thepetition format was slightly different from what Harrison rk originally thought. Instead of fighting each other, it was a battle between humans and virtual opponents.


    The twenty contestants each had their own identical arena, where they had to defeat virtual opponents generated by data simtions on their own.


    The virtual opponents were set to the same parameters as the Azure Dragon Armor, and their eleration levels were constantly set at 15G.


    The contestants had to continue defeating the virtual opponents in front of them.


    Defeat one, then face two simultaneously. Deal with two, then face three at the same time.


    The number of opponents increased with each round, continuing in this manner.


    Thepetition ended under two conditions: the contestant persevering for an hour or being hit consecutively, damaged in vital areas, and judged by the system as dead or losingbat capabilities.


    The scoring method was also straightforward: the contestants would be scored based on the number of virtual opponents they defeated and the extent of their injuries.


    The rules for scoring space warfare and indoor ground warfare were identical.


    The essence of both types of battles was the same. The ground battles were conducted indoors, simting the situation in spacebat, such as in space stations or insiderge spaceships with gravitational environments.


    ording to the militarys strategic guidance, if the war had progressed to ground battles, then humanity would have already lost.


    In short, everything you need to know is here, off you go.


    After finishing the instructions, Daniel Thompson waved his hand with a grand gesture of sending someone off on a long journey.


    Hold on. Nora Camp stood up.


    What are your orders, General Camp? Harrison rk asked obediently.


    Nora Camp thought for a moment, Although you have an advantage in terms of hard power and operation level, actualbat is different from simple maneuvering operations, and includes fighting skills and resource utilization Dont underestimate those data-simted virtual opponents either. Each simted soldier has entered the fighting skills andbat instincts of the regrmandos, so dont underestimate them. If you feel like you cant hold on, dont force yourself  after all, youve already gained a lot of points in the first three events.bender


    Upon hearing this, Daniel Thompson chimed in, Thats right. Although your talent is high, you havent practiced fighting skills. Although advanced medical treatments are avable now and can heal injuries as long as you dont die, a lengthy recovery time could dy your future progress.


    Following suit, Professor Owen added, Oh yes, and theres a difference between armoredbat and regrbat. To master thebination of the two, even for you, it would take at least a month, or no, two to three weeks of training  and thats provided you have already mastered mature fighting techniques.


    Harrison rk thought to himself that it was aplicated issue.


    Others concerns were a sign of goodwill, and it was hard to refuse them.


    However, in reality, everyones concerns were quite unnecessary.


    But at this point, mere words wouldnt be enough; it was better for him to demonstrate his skills in the ring instead.


    Alright, Ill remember everything you said. Rest assured, Ill be careful, It was only when he entered the rarely used specialbat simtor in the base that everyone began to feel nervous.


    But their nervessted for less than five minutes.


    Harrison rk had never experienced spacebat in a zero-gravity environment before. Especially when his virtual opponent used a metal rod from the spaceships porthole as a weapon, catching him off guard. But his panic didntst long. After steadying himself, he quickly adapted to the space warfare environment and applied the maic system ingeniously. Using the positive and negative tractions on the warships metallic surface and disrupting the opponents movements with maism.


    It took him less than five minutes to go from being a beginner to being proficient in these intricate operations.Even more crazily, hepletely broke his promise to be careful, constantly raising his own eleration to 23G, and even asionally reaching the terrifying peak of 23.5G.


    As for the hand-to-handbat skills that everyone was worried about, it was never a problem from the start. He onlycked the experience ofbining armorbat with real-lifebat, and then he bridged that gap in just five minutes.


    As long as the game does not allow the use of long-range weapons, he would be undefeated, no matter how many opponents he faced.


    Consequently, this spacebat simtion battle became a bloodbath with no suspense at all.


    Both sides had different G values, making their fighting capabilities onpletely different levels.


    As time went by, when the other yers could only withstand up to six opponents before being dered losers and kicked out of the room, Harrison rk had already been evading twelve opponents for quite some time.


    He skillfully utilized his advantage in speed, and made full use of the terrain on the battleships surface, sometimes retreating like a fish and sometimes striking back like a ghost, then breaking his opponents one by one.


    Even if the program for simting opponents had incorporated cooperative attacking techniques, Harrison rk simply didnt give them any opportunities to work together against him.


    An hour passed, and the number of opponents in front of him finally maxed out at fifteen.


    Upon exiting the simtor, he sighed with regret, Ah, there just wasnt enough time. If I had ten more minutes, I couldve taken down all fifteen of them.


    The Training Building became eerily quiet.


    Everyone had grown numb to Harrisons absurd remarks.


    How does it feel?


    Though no one else spoke, Professor Owen, as Harrisons operating assistant, had to make some kind of response.


    Harrison seriously pondered for a while before giving his evaluation: Its all just data-based stuff, and the adaptability is not as good as real people. As long as you find a pattern, its easy to take on ten or even fifteen opponents at once However, I believe real people wouldnt be so easily defeated. If the simted opponents didnt chase me so relentlessly and instead stuck together more firmly, I would be at a loss. Simply put, its no big deal.


    Professor Owen turned his face away, thinking that he shouldnt have asked.


    As the representative of the Yellowstone Research Institute, Martha Owenughed uncontrobly in her private chat with Nora Camp; Youve got quite a talent in this subordinate of yours. If anyone else tried to talk like him, theyd be asking for a beating. But when he says it, it seems like its only natural. Nora Camp chuckled, Isnt that just like how we used to be?


    Martha Owen carefully pondered, No, theres still a slight difference. Hes even more arrogant than we were. But this feeling is familiar to us; its the loneliness thates from being at the top.


    Time passed, and another hour and a half went by. When the sun set on the western horizon, the military-wide T8oo Grouppetition came to an end. Unlike previous years, even though the T8oo Groupspetition garnered a lot of attention, participants still constantly entered otherpetitions in order to maintain the efficiency of the overall game.


    But this time, on the one hand, it was because Harrison rks eleration was so high that it upied too much of the central-brainputing power, forcing the military to reduce the number of simultaneously runningpetition divisions. On the other hand, there were too many participants who were eagerly waiting to watch hispetition, and thus they were reluctant to enter their own matches.


    As a result, by this point, less than a quarter of the total militarypetition had just beenpleted. In the past, thesepetitions would have been finished in two or three days, but this time they might have to be extended to four or five days.


    However, no one med Harrison rk for upying too many social resources.


    The reason is simple: the significance of genius to an era is that it can raise the limits of peoples horizons and further improve the overall performance of the environment.


    Perhaps it was really due to his stimtion, or it could be that the other contestants had finally reached the crucial point after their arduous training, but the overall performance in thispetition was much stronger than in  previous years.


    However, no matter how strong the others were, the top spot in the militarypetition had already been predestined.


    To celebrate Harrison rks resounding victory, Nora Camp took the lead and invited all military officers with the rank of lieutenant and above at the base to attend the celebration party on the top floor of the cafeteria building.


    Of course, this included Harrison rk himself, as well as the newly promoted lieutenants.


    At the banquet, Harrison rk wore his newly tailored uniform. He also received his own officers certificate and epaulets, signifying that he hadpletely left the ranks of new soldiers.


    From now on, he would be a true military officer within the military system.


    To him, titles were just empty and virtual things.


    What mattered was that he had finally obtained the freedom of time.


    This was the best benefit he could ever ask for..
