Chapter 31: Team of Five
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“Freshmen assessment?”
“F*ck, it’s already here? I’m not mentally prepared yet…”
“It’s too sudden.”
“Shh…”
Among the freshmen, there were a few discussions at first, but they quickly quieted down.
Those who were originally dozing off gradually woke up, and their expressions became serious.
They naturally lined up into two columns, and their execution was quite good.
There was a fundamental difference between Tianshui Military Academy freshmen and martial arts academy freshmen.
The former had already made mental preparations in advance.
Moreover, 80-90% of these martial artists were civilian martial artists.
These civilian martial artists had applied for the military academy to reverse their fate, so they were very determined.
Woo… woo…
Armored vehicles entered the military base one after another. In the distance, there were already quite a number of freshmen running towards the base.
Zheng Yin stood at the front of the team and said loudly, “Next, distribute each new student’s grade one interspatial ring!”
“The interspatial ring contains water, food, a map, and a level two Tianshui Army uniform!”
As soon as Zheng Yin finished speaking, two soldiers of the base distributed each person an interspatial ring.
Interspatial ring?
Lin Yuan took the ice-cold ring and could clearly feel its profound spirit energy aura.
An interspatial ring was without an owner. As long as spirit energy was injected into it, it could be opened.
A grade one interspatial ring had a space of 1 cubic meter with a length of 1 meter and a width of 1 meter inside.
Lin Yuan injected his spirit energy into it. There were five things inside, namely food, water, a map, a military uniform, and a military academy card.
All the freshmen were very excited. Interspatial rings were very difficult to buy on the market. They did not expect that every cadet had one.
Zheng Yin coldly glanced at the excited new cadets and shouted, “Next, we will announce the contents of the new cadet assessment!”
An angry shout made all the new cadets shut their mouths.
Zheng Yin continued to shout, “Five people in a group, depart from 21st Military Base in the south where we are now!”
“Arrive at the Tianshui Military Academy within 25 days and report. You will be deemed to have passed the assessment excellently.”
“If you arrive within 30 days, you will be deemed to have passed the assessment.”
“If you arrive after 30 days, you will be deemed to have failed the assessment!”
When these words were said, almost all of the freshmen were stunned on the spot.
What?
Walk from this location to Tianshui Military Academy?
Lin Yuan, Wu Di, Jiang Yining, and a group of freshmen instantly opened up the map.
Lin Yuan, who was strong-willed, sucked in a breath of cold air the moment he saw the location of the military academy.
Jiang Yining’s expression was grim.
Wu Di almost collapsed to the ground due to a “heart attack”.
“You… you must be joking…”
“How is this possible…”
Lin Yuan listened to the terrified sounds around him and looked at the map carefully. It traversed more than a thousand kilometers, and the distance didn’t seem too long.
However, the terrifying part was that they had to pass through Hundred Flowers Forest, Flowing Cloud Swamp, Ten Thousand Beasts Canyon, Twin Peaks Snow Mountain, and finally cross the Tianshui Plain to reach the Tianshui Military Academy!
“All five of you have arrived. All of you have completed.”
“One person has not arrived. All of you have failed.”
“If you have any questions, raise them now!”
Zheng Yin’s powerful aura spread out, and the freshmen instantly felt a lot of pressure.
One of the freshmen mustered up his courage and braced himself to ask, “Instructor, if we don’t arrive within thirty days, what will happen if we fail?”
Zheng Yin glanced at the new cadet and said in an extremely cruel tone, “Resources!”
“The outstanding eat meat, the qualified drink soup, the unqualified…”
“You can only lick their dregs.”
All the new cadets were shocked. Resources were the core of the military academy.
However, it was impossible for the military academy to train warriors in an equal way. Only the truly outstanding warriors could receive the pouring of resources!
Although these new students had not officially entered the military academy, the competition had already begun at this moment. Once they entered the military academy, it would only become more intense!
Hearing this, a female student timidly raised her hand and said, “Instructor, I… I’m from the medical-type…”
Zheng Yin snorted coldly and directly replied, “So what if you’re medical-type? Medical-type martial artists still have to follow the team to the battlefield!”
“The enemy doesn’t show mercy to you because you’re a woman. They will only be crueler!”
“Remember, in Tianshui Military Academy, there are no gender differences!”
As soon as these words were said, the expressions of the freshmen on the field changed one after another.
Zheng Yin continued to speak loudly, “If there are no more problems, then start forming your team!”
“Once registration is complete! Set off immediately!”
…
After Zheng Yin left, the whole group of freshmen in Qingshan City was instantly in an uproar.
The conversation of five hundred people was as noisy as five thousand people!
Almost all martial artists wanted to form a team with stronger people. If five people formed a team and the team arrived, that would be the barrel effect.
The barrel effect meant that how much water a barrel could hold depend on the shortest piece of wood. Everyone understood this principle.
However, in this new student assessment, the weak wanted to lick the strong, while the strong might not favor the weak.
More than 30 medical-type girls were pushed aside. They were both embarrassed and scared at the same time.
Wu Di immediately looked at Lin Yuan. Lin Yuan was studying the map and the route.
“Lin Yuan.”
“What should we do?”
“Say something.”
Even as one of the few level three martial artists on the field, Wu Di was still very nervous.
Lin Yuan had always been calm. It was definitely not wrong for him to follow Lin Yuan.
“Twenty-five days should be enough,” Lin Yuan said in a low voice, then looked up to his side.
Coincidentally, he exchanged a glance with Jiang Yining and asked naturally, “Are you coming?”
Jiang Yining nodded readily and said, “Yes, okay.”
Lin Yuan and Jiang Yining had interacted with each other a few times, so he knew that Jiang Yining was not as cold and elegant as she appeared to be.
Jiang Yining readily asked Lin Yuan if she had any questions in Basic Martial Arts.
Among all the freshmen, the one Jiang Yining was most familiar with was probably Lin Yuan.
Both Wu Di and Jiang Yining were level three martial artists.
Lin Yuan was a top level two martial artist and was famous in Qingshan City.
As long as the three of them stood there, countless freshmen would flock to them.
Even a few former classmates from Diyi Middle School surrounded them.
“Lin Yuan, let’s go together.”
“Brother Yuan, bring me along.”
“Wu Di, there are still two vacancies left, right?”
…
Just as Lin Yuan was frowning, a genius level three martial artist slowly walked toward Jiang Yining and Wu Di.
“Count me in.”
A gentle youth’s voice sounded from the side.
Wu Di heard this voice was very familiar. He looked up and was suddenly stunned.
“It’s you…”
This youth was none other than the genius martial artist of Qingshan City Dier Middle School, Han Yu.
He was a level three martial artist who had met Wu Di in the Combat Test during the Martial Arts College Entrance Examination.
In the end, after a fierce battle, Wu Di lost that battle.
“Hello, Sister Jiang.”
Han Yu smiled and nodded to Jiang Yining.
The Jiang and Han families were both first-class aristocratic families in Qingshan City. He had met Jiang Yining several times on some occasions among the aristocratic families.
Lin Yuan, Wu Di, and Jiang Yining were all 17-year-old freshmen.
However, Han Yu, a young genius, was not even 17 years old yet.
He jumped a grade to participate in the College Entrance Exam and was very strong.
“Hello.”
Jiang Yining also nodded.
The grudges between aristocratic families naturally disappeared after they entered the military academy.
They were not only competing with the geniuses of Qingshan City for resources but also with the geniuses of other provinces and cities!
