Chapter 30: Assembly of the Freshmen
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Not only did Lin Yuan learn a lot from Elder Yang, but even Wu Di’s martial arts foundation was also solid.
The final farewell was not too emotional.
Just as Elder Yang said, their lives had just begun.
…
Four days later, the morning sun had not risen yet.
In the villa.
“You must pay attention to your safety, understand?”
With tears in her eyes, Jiang Xiu kept saying goodbye to Wu Di in a low voice.
As a mother, knowing that her son was going to be a soldier at Tianshui Military Academy, she was both proud and worried at the same time.
From the moment they entered Tianshui Military Academy, the country would be pouring in resources to nurture freshmen. Yet, the freshmen couldn’t even report to their families that they were safe.
Wu Di comforted his mother, Jiang Xiu.
“We’re going to the military academy, not to the battlefield.”
“It’s not that dangerous.”
Wu Dafu’s nose was sore, but he still said in a deep voice, “Don’t embarrass me when you get to the military academy.”
…
In the other room, Lin Yuan was packing his last luggage.
Before going to the military academy, Lin Yuan went home two days ago and said his final goodbye to his father, Lin Shouyi.
There weren’t many stories.
However, the mechanical-type spirit skill that Diyi Middle School had promised Lin Yuan was handed to Lin Yuan the day before they left.
This spirit skill was called “Photon Pistol”, and its basic requirement was a total of 100 points of spirit energy.
Lin Yuan had spent a whole day studying it yesterday before he had some insights, but the speed of condensing the Photon Pistol was still very slow.
The main reason was that the structure was very complicated and not as simple as a Mechanized Crossbow.
Just the firing mechanism alone was made up of the transmitter base, hammer parts, iron block parts, pull rod parts, safety, single shot lever, and all kinds of springs. Condensing them together was extremely time-consuming and energy-consuming.
However, the power was very considerable. Even if a level three martial artist was hit in the vital parts, he would probably be crippled or even killed.
“Lin Yuan.”
Lin Yuan heard someone calling him from behind and turned around. “Uncle Wu?”
Wu Dafu walked into the room and smiled amiably. He closed the door and chatted with Lin Yuan for a while.
In Wu Dafu’s eyes, Wu Di was not as mature and calm as Lin Yuan.
“Okay, I got it, Uncle Wu. Don’t worry.”
Before Lin Yuan and Wu Di left, Wu Dafu spent a large sum of money to buy equipment for the two of them.
At this moment, the level three spiritual weapon “Sparrow Moon Longsword” on Wu Di’s back cost him ten million.
Lin Yuan also obtained some necessary spirit stones, including a level three Blue Flame Stone, which cost more than a million.
…
The military academy’s gathering point in Qingshan City was Qingshan City Diyi Middle School.
All the candidates who applied for the Tianshui Military Academy in Qingshan City would gather at the square outside Diyi Middle School and head to the southwest branch of Tianshui Military Academy. It was located in the southwest of Tianshui Kingdom.
The usual easy journey made Wu Di, who had been pretending to be calm and cool in front of his parents, suddenly nervous.
“Lin Yuan, I’m a little nervous.”
“D*mn, I suddenly feel a little regretful…”
Lin Yuan chuckled. “You chose it yourself. You can’t blame me.”
Soon, Lin Yuan and Wu Di arrived at the square outside Diyi Middle School. At this moment, the square outside the school was extremely noisy.
Not only Wu Di, but many freshmen of the military academy were a little nervous. They talked with each other to ease the tension.
“There are quite a lot of people.”
Wu Di looked at the students in the square in surprise. There were about five hundred people.
They were all students who had applied for the military academy in Qingshan City and the surrounding small areas.
But among the nearly five hundred people, only about ten percent of them were women.
Otherwise, why would they say, “Two or three years in the army, the sows are better than Diaochan”.
“Lin Yuan!”
“Wu Di!”
Among the crowd, the other six people who applied for the military academy in Diyi Middle School were gathered together. One of the students waved at Lin Yuan and Wu Di.
When Lin Yuan, Wu Di, and Jiang Yining, the top geniuses of Diyi Middle School gathered together, the square was also filled with discussions.
After the Martial Arts College Entrance Examination, these three people had quite a reputation in Qingshan City. Among these five hundred people, there were less than ten of them who were level three martial artists.
When he saw Jiang Yining again, Wu Di, who was standing at the side, was a little embarrassed. He didn’t dare to look directly at her.
The students of Diyi Middle School weren’t familiar with each other. They only knew each other. However, before they could chat with each other, the rumbling of the fleet of vehicles in the distance gradually sounded.
“F*ck… So cool…”
“Tianshui Army armored vehicles!”
One after another, powerful and domineering Tianshui Army armored vehicles stopped in front of the square. A few soldiers in military uniforms alighted from the huge armored vehicles and said in a loud voice, “Qingshan City freshmen, get on the vehicles!”
“After you get on the vehicles, don’t talk. Sit on the seats and hold the files in your hands!”
…
The eight students of Diyi Middle School got into the same armored car. Each armored car could hold about a hundred people. The seats were not too crowded. In just two minutes, all the freshmen got into the armored car.
Lin Yuan and the others were sitting in the first armored car. In the middle of the armored car stood a tall woman.
The pure black armor could not cover the curves that made people daydream. However, the cold and frosty face made these freshmen who were not even eighteen years old not dare to look directly at her.
When the armored vehicles started moving, everyone could vaguely hear someone shouting outside the vehicles.
“Wait for me!”
“I’m also a student of the Tianshui Military Academy!”
“Wait for me… Hey…”
“Please…”
One after another, blue armored vehicles whizzed past. They completely ignored this late student and drove out of the city.
When everyone heard the youth’s desperate cry, they couldn’t help but gulp.
At this moment, instructor Zheng Yin, who was standing in the middle of the armored vehicles, said coldly, “I am Tianshui Military Academy instructor, Zheng Yin.”
“Now, take out all of your files.”
All the freshmen kept quiet and obediently took out the student files. Zheng Yin walked around the armored vehicles and put away all the files. Then, she sat at the front seat.
The group of freshmen looked at each other, and sat in their seats obediently, not daring to make a sound.
It took about 30 hours to get from Qingshan City to the southwest branch of Tianshui Military Academy. They hadn’t eaten anything since they got on the armored vehicle early in the morning.
Even so, no one dared to make a sound, for fear of leaving a bad impression in front of the instructor.
At about 11 p.m., just as everyone was about to fall asleep after sitting in the car for a whole day, the armored car suddenly stopped at a brightly lit rest area!
Some of the new students who were dozing off gradually woke up.
“Get out of the car.”
Zheng Yin gave the order, and the freshmen rubbed their eyes and jumped out of the armored car one after another.
Lin Yuan just jumped down and turn around to look. The area was like a military base, brightly lit. With a loud rumble, helicopters flew out of the base one after another.
“It doesn’t look like a military academy.”
Lin Yuan looked at the scene around him and thought to himself.
There were dozens of other armored vehicles besides them.
More and more armored vehicles from the cities in the southwest region arrived.
Zheng Yin was the last to jump down from the armored vehicle. She heard the discussion and said loudly, “Shut up, all of you.”
“Line up and take your equipment in turn.”
“Prepare for the freshman exam!”
