100: Heading to training camp

In the Secret Realm trials, they were just bait. It was inevitable that some experts participating in the event would be unwilling to let their most beloved children face such danger.

Although the Martial God Scroll was highly desirable… sending a junior from the faction would have the same effect.

Take Li Hong, for example, a child who wasn't particularly favored within his Family…

As for why Li Ji also followed them in, perhaps the expert from the Li Family wasn't qualified enough to know the inside story of the Secret Realm trials?

Come to think of it, according to the agreement between the Li Family and Senior Brother, the principal, they were supposed to occupy one Jianmu Project quota in Chenyang City.

But after Li Hong was taken away by Tong Han, they didn't send anyone else, and it was unclear what the reason was.

Perhaps they couldn't spare the time?

Lin Xin continued, "Of course, there certainly won't be many such people."

"Although our Great Qin has many experts, it's not such a coincidence that all their descendants are crowding into this year's College Entrance Examination."

He was mainly reminding Chu Yuan, the holder of the zhenwu token.

For Yang Yi and Cui Hanyu, this news was just something interesting to listen to; it was of no real use to them.

As expected, Yang Yi said optimistically, "Let them come. Anyway, I was never a match for most of them to begin with…"

Cui Hanyu showed even less reaction. She was only in the Leakless Realm, so even if immortals were fighting, she wouldn't be caught in the crossfire.

She just needed to keep moving towards her own goals, striving to reach the Inner Breath Realm after the training camp!

...

This time, they didn't take a teleportation array, perhaps because time wasn't too pressing.

After the three of them were sent to Yunan Prefecture, they boarded a fighter jet and flew towards the northwest of Great Qin.

With the roar of the fighter jet, the scenery outside the porthole gradually became vast and magnificent.

For hundreds of miles, there was no sign of human habitation, only naturally growing vegetation.

Occasionally, one could glimpse broken walls and ruins—cities abandoned since the Early Stage of the martial arts era, carrying an air of desolation.

Even though Great Qin later counterattacked and reclaimed its lost territory, the original inhabitants never moved back, having long since thrived elsewhere…

Amidst these various thoughts, the fighter jet gradually slowed down and descended, coming to a stop at the foot of a towering snow-capped mountain.

After disembarking from the fighter jet, a biting cold wind whipped against their faces.

Chu Yuan looked up and saw, amidst the nearly primitive environment, rows of seemingly newly constructed buildings that looked out of place.

"The training camp starts in one day. I'll take you to register first," Lin Xin said, immediately starting to walk forward.

Their shoes crunched against the thick snow, making creaking sounds.

The temperature must be dozens of degrees below zero, right? Chu Yuan thought to himself.

However, as they were all Martial Artists, even with thin clothing, this bit of low temperature was nothing.

A long line had already formed ahead, and sure enough, they saw many familiar faces.

Two boys who were chatting casually at the end of the line noticed someone approaching from behind and glanced over nonchalantly.

One of them let out an instinctive yelp, "Holy crap! Chu Yuan!"

Chu Yuan: "…"

This name seemed to have some kind of magic; a commotion immediately broke out in the line, and many people instinctively turned to look.

Then, a wave of discussion arose.

"Didn't Chu Yuan… didn't he take a boiling source pill? I thought he wouldn't be coming…"

"Don't be so rash. Since he passed the selection, perhaps his injuries have already healed."

"Isn't the backlash of the boiling source pill unsolvable?"

"Who knows… Maybe a starving camel is still bigger than a horse. Even if his injuries haven't healed, the students from that small place, Chenyang City, still won't be able to stop him…"

Chu Yuan didn't really like being discussed like this, but he couldn't just beat people up because of it.

For a moment, he just kept a straight face, pretending he hadn't heard anything.

The boy who had yelped earlier seemed to realize he had caused trouble for Chu Yuan and said somewhat embarrassedly, "Chu Yuan, you guys can line up in front of me."

Chu Yuan shook his head, "No need."

It was just registration, checking identity information, so it was actually quite fast.

But no matter how fast it was, it couldn't handle so many people… Even if it only took ten seconds per person, with over two thousand people here, it would still take over five hours.

Lin Xin had wanted to say that if Chu Yuan had the zhenwu token, he wouldn't have needed to line up in the first place.

But seeing Chu Yuan's indifferent expression, he decided not to mention it.

Sometimes abusing privileges wasn't a good thing… especially since Chu Yuan was already prone to attracting jealousy; who knows what kind of gossip it would invite.

Even if being gossiped about wouldn't cause him to lose a chunk of flesh, it was still disgusting…

Chu Yuan seemed a bit distracted, moving forward with the line subconsciously.

In fact, his attention had long drifted into that snow-capped mountain in the distance with his Divine Sense!

Unlike the bustle here, the seemingly quiet and peaceful big snow mountain… was actually quite lively.

Over there, a giant bear was rubbing its back against the mountain wall, causing large patches of snow to collapse.

Over there, a snow leopard was hiding in the depths, staring at an antelope not far away with a fierce glint in its eyes.

Or perhaps a bird with a wingspan of several meters and magnificent tail feathers was patrolling with its wings spread; once it spotted prey, it would dive down like a bullet…

So many exotic beasts?

Chu Yuan muttered in his heart. Nowadays, in the territory of Great Qin, exotic beasts could be considered rare.

But his Divine Sense had only covered a portion of the snow mountain, and he had already discovered several Fourth Realm exotic beasts, dozens of Third Realm exotic beasts… and the number of First Realm and Second Realm ones was even greater!

If someone said the authorities hadn't surveyed this beforehand and deliberately chosen this location… Chu Yuan wouldn't believe it even if he were beaten to death.

It seems that later, he wouldn't be able to avoid dealing with these things…

...

Yang Yi was also chatting with Cui Hanyu. For some reason, he felt that the two of them got along quite well.

The line behind them was also getting longer and longer…

Just then, a large hand pressed onto his shoulder, shoving him to the side.

Subsequently, a burly boy walked past him with complete composure.

"What are you doing!?" Yang Yi said angrily.

How could there be such an ill-mannered person? Everyone is lining up, and you come up here and try to cut in line?

But the boy seemed not to have heard, completely ignoring him, and shoved aside Cui Hanyu who was in front of him, then moved to press his hand onto Chu Yuan's shoulder.

Although Chu Yuan had been observing the inside of the snow mountain with his Divine Sense, he had also been paying attention to the movements around him.

Seeing this behavior from the boy, he felt speechless.

He immediately grabbed the boy's arm with one hand.

"Hmm? Take your lowly hand off." The burly boy was surprised for a moment, then ordered with an indifferent expression.

Registration was imminent, and he didn't want to cause any extra trouble; but if someone didn't know what was good for them, he wouldn't mind making a move.

Chu Yuan wasn't about to indulge him, saying speechlessly, "I can understand that you want to cut in line… but the road is so wide, why don't you just go to the very front to cut in?"

"Why are you shoving people around? Is something wrong with your brain?"

A familiar weird laugh rang out from behind: "It's not just that his brain is bad;"

"He's trying to give you a show of force to cultivate some bullshit 'Invincible Spirit'~"

Chu Yuan suddenly realized, "I didn't see you at the Secret Realm trials? You don't even dare to go to the Secret Realm, yet you're acting all high and mighty… Get to the back of the line!"

Being played by the two of them in tandem, with one hitting and the other following up, the boy was extremely ashamed and angry, his gaze cold and terrifying: "You're looking for…"

But Chu Yuan didn't even have the interest to listen to him spout threats. He applied force to his hand, and a crisp sound of a fracture rang out!

He casually snapped the boy's arm and threw him toward the back of the line…
