The next day.

Everyone gathered at the training grounds with their respective teams.

Wang Dong was standing behind Su Hei.

He asked in a low voice, “Su, I’ve heard that they will be introducing a new type of training today. Do you know what it will be?”

Su Hei shook his head.

Li Burou was standing in the lead for Team Two. He heard Wang Dong’s words and slowly walked over to them.

“As far as I know, it’s the War Drums Cliff training.”

Everyone was puzzled to hear those words.

All of them were transmigrators, so they still did not understand certain terms.

Seeing this, Li Burou was even more shocked.

“Don’t tell me that you don’t know what War Drums Cliff is.”

All members of Senior Class One shared confused glances with one another and shook their heads.

“Indeed. We have never heard of it,” Su Hei replied.

“You guys are weird.”

Li Burou shook his head and glanced at Senior Class One.

“I can’t help but wonder if you’re from this world. How can you not know what War Drums Cliff is?”

“Cut the crap. Tell us,” urged Su Hei.

He felt a little alarmed that Li Burou had unknowingly guessed the truth and quickly smiled at him.

“War Drums Cliff is a dangerous place on Yannopolis Mountain, which is located just outside of the Yannopolis survival base.”

“There are a total of 81 war drums on the bottomless cliff. The rhythmic beat of the war drums can be heard from thousands of miles away. Our combat strength will increase exponentially with every beat of the drum.”

Li Burou patiently explained to them.

“What? Such an amazing place like this exists? So why are we still diligently doing the gravity training?” Wang Dong instantly got excited.

Li Burou waved his hand in a dismissive gesture and continued to speak.

“Rewards are often accompanied by danger. Since the War Drums Cliff brings about so many rewards, naturally, terrifying dangers will accompany it.”

“The effect of the war drum will backfire on those who aren’t strong enough, and those people would go insane after hearing the beat of the war drum. In the worst-case scenario, they will lose their lives. Therefore, not everyone dares to try. Those who dare to go up are either martial arts fanatics or those supercilious conceited geniuses.”

Wang Dong widened his eyes in disbelief.

“It’s so dangerous, but they still want us to train there?”

“Has Sikou Nanbo gone crazy? He might as well kill me!” Wang Dong groaned.

If it was really as Li Burou had said, the City Defense Team had really crossed the line by making them go to the War Drums Cliff.

Su Hei thought so too.

Li Burou laughed heartily and shook his head.

“Wang Dong, you’re overthinking this. We’re not going to the War Drums Cliff in Yannopolis, but the one here.”

Hearing this, Su Hei and Wang Dong were confused again.

“We have imitated the War Drums Cliff and built a training ground that has war drums. Although it works the same way as the War Drums Cliff in Yannopolis, it’s not as effective as that.”

Bai Tiantian was the one who had said this.

Ice Cream was in Bai Tiantian’s arms as usual. Li Hua and Jiang Jinyu had their eyes glued to Ice Cream the moment they saw it.

Women found adorable and glowy items absolutely irresistible.

“Ah. Is that so? Okay, we get it now.”

Su Hei nodded.

At this moment, Sikou Nanbo and the other four instructors appeared in front of everyone.

“Today will be a tough day of training for you all. Apart from having eight hours of gravity training, we are going to add war drum training to it.”

“Before the boot camp ends, normal fighters will need to break 10 war drums. The section leaders will need to break 30 war drums.”

Everyone took a deep breath. Following that, the crowd was in an uproar.

“Ten war drums? Isn’t that only something achievable by an intermediate-level martial artist?”

“My combat strength is only a little more than 1,400. In less than a month, you want me to do something that only intermediate-level martial artists can do! You might as well kill me with a single strike.”

“This… This is impossible!”

The natives of the Quilton survival base knew how difficult it was to break the war drums.

They were dumbfounded after hearing the chief instructor’s order.

Sikou Nanbo did not have any intention of explaining to everyone the reason behind his order. He only said, “Those who don’t meet the requirements will be eliminated.” With that, he turned around and left.

“Heed my order, Team Three! Forward march!”

“Heed my order, Team Five! Forward march!”

–

Just like yesterday, Su Hei led a team of martial artists and followed Fang Dongjin to their new training ground.

–

“This is it.”

Fang Dongjin stopped and turned around to look at Su Hei.

“I’m only responsible for showing you the way. You guys can decide if you want to enter now.”

“The war drums here aren’t like those in Yannopolis where you will suffer backfire if you fail to break the drums. However, it will be challenging. Those who aren’t confident can go for gravity training first before returning here to break the drums.”

“Thank you, Instructor Fang.”

Su Hei politely thanked the instructor.

Following that, he turned to the other members of Team One.

“Everyone is free to make your own arrangements. You’re dismissed!” Su Hei bellowed.

“Instructor Fang, I’ll head in first.”

Fang Dongjin nodded.

With that, Su Hei entered the war drums training ground without looking back.

Just like the training ground for gravity training, the building for this was also square-shaped. The only difference was that the entrance was smaller, and it had a narrow passageway. Thus, it could only accommodate one person at a time.

Su Hei had just stepped in when he heard the sound of mechanical gears behind him. Following that, the door behind him slowly closed.

In the next second, dim yellow lights lit up on both sides of the passageway.

“They really know how to create an ambiance.”

Su Hei thought to himself.

He took a couple of steps forward and saw a huge drum on the wall. It was similar to those red leather drums in his past life. He could see one every ten meters.

“Since the drums are made of wood, it shouldn’t be difficult to break them,” thought Su Hei confidently.

He reached out and tapped lightly on the drum.

Thud!

A dull drumbeat sounded. There was nothing special about it.

However, Su Hei noticed that when the drumbeat sounded, there was a wave of energy that was invisible to the naked eye in the surrounding air.

“Oh?”

He raised his eyebrows and put more power into his fist.

Boom!

He had delivered a punch that had a thousand pounds of power in it. Instantly, the drum burst.

“I see. The drum magnified and reflected the power I threw out, causing me to be attacked. It’s similar to being retaliated. Interesting,” he thought.

From the looks of it, those drums that were placed further and deeper would reflect higher damage to him.

Su Hei stepped forward and clenched his fist.

He smashed every drum that he passed, leaving numerous drum fragments on the ground.

When he reached the 20th war drum, Su Hei used slightly less than 6,000 combat strength and smashed it to pieces.

Suddenly, Su Hei shook his head.

“If it’s too simple, the rewards are nothing great,” he murmured.

He had smashed 20 war drums, but his combat strength had increased by no more than 500.

Of course, this was mostly because Su Hei’s combat strength was already an astronomical figure. Naturally, he would not benefit much from such a low-level checkpoint.

If everyone else could see Su Hei’s reaction to this, he would definitely incur their wrath.

Breaking 20 war drums was their target for that month.

However, Su Hei could do it in less than 10 minutes. Despite that, he was complaining that it was too easy. He was inhuman!

Su Hei was too powerful!
