Chapter 106: Abnormal Place
After Drillmaster Young Ke lifted her foot, the suppressed Bloody-pupil Leopard leapt up like lightning and mercilessly rushed at Ning Meng.
Its claws were over six inches long, with terrifying bloody gloss, extremely sharp, and able to tear hard rocks.
But the most dreadful characteristic of Bloody-pupil Leopard was its speed which made it flexible as a ghost and extremely terrifying.
The movement of Ning Meng was extremely rough and simple. His strapping body was like a moving mountain. The skin was covered with wispy strands of thunder which made him look more extraordinary.
Boom!
When Ning Meng yelled, he had fought fiercely with the Bloody-pupil Leopard. His boxing style was like thunder, extremely fierce. Every move of the martial art performed by Ning Meng now required the person who practiced it to stretch out as far as he could.
“Thunder Power from All Directions (TPAD)…I know who he is now…”
In the crowd, Shi Yu chuckled.
Lin Xun was right there. He stared at the battlefield as mute as a fish. He was not surprised that Shi Yu could see through the background of Ning Meng at a glance and was not in the mood to ask.
People who were able to be in Bloodthirsty Camp were not simple. Except Ning Meng, Shi Yu and a crowd of boys and girls nearby were sure to have special identities.
Soon, Ning Meng shouted in the battlefield. He took advantage of the situation, seized two legs of the Bloody-pupil Leopard with his hands fiercely and extended his arms outwards.
Zip!
He should directly tear the body of the Bloody-pupil Leopard apart with hands. Blood mixing with colorful internal organs poured out.
Blood also poured over Ning Meng, which made him look wilder and more intrepid. The scene immediately shocked many people present. There was guard and fear in their eyes when they looked at Ning Meng.
He was definitely a rare talent of martial arts, since relying on the cultivation of Martial Realm, he was able to slaughter, by himself, a Bloody-pupil Leopard which could be compared to a practitioner of Gang Spirit Realm.
“Ha ha ha, I killed one with bare hands last year. It is a piece of cake.” Ning Meng laughed and was perky.
“You can choose a room.” Drillmaster Young Ke glanced at Ning Meng and did not say more.
“Thank you.” Ning Meng suited himself and chose No.1 room directly.
The scene stimulated many people to be ready to act.
Although the Bloody-pupil Leopards had the strength comparable to that of practitioners of Gang Spirit Realm, it was just a fierce beast, didn’t understand special skills of combat and did not have much wisdom. For some boys and girls present, the threats were not enough to hold them back.
Soon, a boy named Qi Can came forward. Drillmaster Young Ke, without a nonsense, ordered people to catch another Bloody-pupil Leopard.
Buzz!
Qi Can’s figure was slim. Once he began to move, wisps of dazzling cyan light gushed out of his body, which made his momentum as ethereal as the cyan sky.
Different from that of Ning Meng, his combat style was straight and narrow, giving consideration to both offense and defense. Although he couldn’t kill the Bloody-pupil Leopard in a short time, he did not suffer any loss, either.
“It is the ‘Jade-breaking Art by Sky Power (JASP)’ of Qi Family, the oldest and best-known family of Northern Yan Province. He is the most outstanding person of the present age, being able to reach the ninth level of Martial Realm at the age of fourteen.”
Shi Yu murmured. It was unknown whether he spoke to himself or to Lin Xun next to him. He looked as cool as a cucumber.
Lin Xun looked at this in silence, with a growing awareness that all the people who were able to enter Bloodthirsty Camp for training were not ordinary.
Take Ning Meng for example. Although he was only thirteen years old, he had the potential to step into Gang Spirit Realm four years ago! You could imagine how amazing his flair was.
Like Qi Can, he had the ninth-level cultivation of Martial Realm at the age of fourteen and was able to fight with a Bloody-pupil Leopard with naked fists. Ordinary people were not be able to do this.
At least, speaking of cultivation alone at present, Lin Xun was inferior to Ning Meng and Qi Can.
Besides, there were surely many powerful people among the over forty people present.
All this made Lin Xun have to sign with emotion. There was no shortage of excellent men in the world. If Lin did not leave Feiyun Village and Donglin Town, he was doomed to be a person of narrow view all his life.
Soon, Qi Can won and was granted the right to live in No.6 room.
Then another person came to challenge the Bloody-pupil Leopard. Two victories in a row seemed to dilute those present’s fear of the Bloody-pupil Leopard. They became ready to act gradually.
Only Lin Xun did not act. He knew that he might be able to kill the Bloody-pupil Leopard if he risked his life, but he had to pay a heavy price at the same time. It was obvious that the loss outweighed the gain if he suffered such a wound for a room.
Suddenly, a scream woke Lin Xun up from meditation. The left arm of the girl who was the third to challenge the leopard was torn off by the Bloody-pupil Leopard and blood burst forth.
People cried out in alarm. When the girl was about to be killed by the Bloody-pupil Leopard, Drillmaster Young Ke appeared on the girl’s side. Upon a neat side kick, the Bloody-pupil Leopard suddenly flew more than three hundred meters away. It hit the ground hard and turned into a puddle of muddy flesh.
“Take her away.”
Drillmaster Young Ke waved her palm to stun the screaming girl. Then two attendants took the girl away. There was no doubt that the girl not only lost her arm, but also was eliminated.
The bitter lesson made many people calm down. In the following time, one after another person stepped forward.
Eventually, there were another three people getting injured and being eliminated. The remaining eight rooms were occupied by people, including Shi Yu, one by one.
Lin Xun was deeply impressed by Shi Yu’s fighting style. After appearing on the stage, he didn’t stop evading until he took a chance and launched an attack immediately without hesitation.
The final result was that the head of the Bloody-pupil Leopard was smashed to pieces by a hand and it died suddenly on the spot. However, Shi Yu was calm and peaceful with his white robe spotlessly clean, and the winning was extremely fantastic.
Lin Xun was very clear that the combat style in which one hit was sure to cause death was the most terrifying!
…
At night.
In the dark cave, the space was so narrow that only one person could cross his legs or lie in it. Outside the cave, cold wind was howling, like ghosts crying and wolves howling, upsetting people.
This kind of environment tortured people’s body and mind most and made people depressed. Living in the environment for a long time could even make people freak out.
Lin Xun sat at the mouth of a cave in silence. In spite of his strong body, he felt a sharp chill. It was the cost of not being able to occupy a room.
According to regulations of Bloodthirsty Camp, if one wanted to replace his place of residence, there would be an opportunity to fight for it after a month.
Outside the cave, the whole No.39 Campsite could be overlooked and the cold moon in the distant sky was clear and bright.
In Lin Xun’s hands laid a document recording the basis information about Bloodthirsty Camp, and Lin had read it.
Until then, Lin Xun finally understood that the total number of the practitioners participating in the training of Bloodthirsty Camp was two thousand. They were all under fifteen years old, and had the cultivation of over fifth level of Martial Realm, with outstanding aptitude and talent of cultivation.
A camp was composed of 50 people. One drillmaster was responsible for routine training of each camp. The chief military instructor was Shu Sanqi.
Lin Xun was in the Camp 39 in the charge of Drillmaster Young Ke.
The training of Bloodthirsty Camp was extremely unique and cruel. Those who didn’t obey orders would be put to death directly. Those who violated rules would be severely punished or directly eliminated.
The most basic requirement for trainees was to obey orders and finish all trainings. Being unable to finish a training project meant being eliminated.
Besides, an assessment would be conducted in Bloodthirsty Camp once a month. Those who failed in the ranking would be eliminated and those who were on low-ranking would also be eliminated!
And assessment was often related to accumulated points.
The accumulated points of Bloodthirsty Camp were very precious because if you wanted to get all kinds of benefits here, you must exchange accumulated points for them. Each point was matched with some kind of reward and award.
In a word, Bloodthirsty Camp was a place which couldn’t be described with the word “cruel”. No one could guarantee to stay here for a year without being eliminated.
After meditating alone for a long time, Lin Xun lay down in the dark cave. The cold wind was howling outside the cave. The biting coldness made it difficult to sleep. However, Lin Xun was extremely calm.
He rubbed a copper nameplate in his hand. It was the identity nameplate. The number “39” was engraved on the obverse, representing that he belonged to the Camp 39 and the identification number “13” was engraved on the reverse.
The nameplate was used to get and accumulate points and was also a unique identifier of Bloodthirsty Camp.
Lin Xun did not have any bad feelings or discomfort about his current situation. He was never a sentimental person.
Soon, Lin Xun started to focus on cultivating and then meditating. There was nothing different. Maybe there was something different – Shia Zhi was not there.
After four hours.
Suddenly a harsh ring rang. Lin Xun subconsciously got up and rushed out of the cave. It was still dark outside and it was about four o’clock in the morning.
When Lin Xun arrived at Camp 39, many people had been there.
When the slim figure of Drillmaster Young Ke appeared, forty-two people had gathered, two people fewer than yesterday.
Lin Xun knew it later that two people living in the caves last night were unable to stand the biting coldness and depressive environment, so they sneaked out of their caves. As a result, they were found by the attendants of Bloodthirsty Camp on patrol and were directly eliminated.
“From this day on, the formal training starts.”
Drillmaster Young Ke still looked comely and calm. Her voice was flat and emotionless. However, no one dared to neglect her words.
“Today’s training is very simple. One word – combat. As a practitioner, cultivation is an aspect. However, how to turn cultivation into the most effective combat capability is what every practitioner must master.”
“You may think you have mastered all kinds of battle skills before. But in my opinion, all battle skills haven’t been checked by battles of life and death are showy but not practical skills.”
When their own battle skills were called showy but not practical skills, many people present were not convinced, but no one dared to question her words. Because every one was clear that Drillmaster Young Ke was a hardhearted woman with a beautiful appearance and a devil heart. Daring to question her was equal to making fun of their own lives.
After speaking, Drillmaster Young Ke waved her hand and soon a treasure ship came down from the sky.
Led by Drillmaster Young Ke, Lin Xun and other people entered the treasure ship. No one knew where the destination of this training was. Some of them anticipated and some of them meditated.
Lin Xun looked at the spiritual tattoos inscribed in the treasure ship to kill time. It was no use thinking too much. They would see when they got there.
After the duration of a burning joss stick, the fatty middle-aged man who was sailing the treasure ship suddenly cried out, “Shit! No.1 to No.9 Training Fields have been occupied! Guys of other camps should come out so early? Are they crazy?”
Young Ke frowned, was silent for a moment and said, “Let’s go to No.10 Training Field.”
The Fatty Middle-aged was wide-eyed and yelled exaggeratively, “Shit. These little guys are on their first day. Do you want them to die?”
All trainees in the cabin were shocked, and their expressions were a little twisted.
