114: The forest hunting begins

That evening.

Yu Xiu, Chu Tianjiao, and others gathered on the third floor of the restaurant. Due to the military training, everyone was restrained in their drinking.

Afterward,

Yu Xiu selected the ninety-nine strongest individuals from among Chu Tianjiao and the others.

The list of members for Martial Arts Class One was officially released and reported to the Principal.

As the Principal entered the information into the System, a System prompt sounded in Yu Xiu's mind.

Total Qi and blood: 9426

The total Martial Skills instantly brought all of Yu Xiu's Elementary Martial Skills to the highest Realm of peak mastery.

In particular, Chu Clan Boxing also reached the Realm of peak mastery, which shows Chu Tianjiao's rapid growth during this period.

As for his Talent, it had not changed.

Now, Yu Xiu's strength was formidable; even with the added Talent, his improvement was not significant.

However, Yu Xiu's strength had Broken Through to the Realm of a Two-star Martial Venerable this time.

But the improvement of his Realm was not something Yu Xiu cared much about at the moment.

His combat power was equivalent to a Martial King.

The combined increase from the university class could no longer keep up with Yu Xiu.

What Yu Xiu cared about now was the battle team.

The moment the battle team was registered,

he would instantly Break Through to Martial King.

His combat power would nearly rival a Martial Emperor.

More importantly, the Two Hundred Death Warriors had already begun to Cultivate the Spirit Guiding Technique and the General Skills and Techniques from the Scripture Pavilion; these were what Yu Xiu cared about.

With these enhancements, Yu Xiu's combat power would likely become even more terrifying.

Next,

he only needed to steadily develop the battle team.

He would improve the strength of the battle team members, earn military merits, and increase the team's numbers.

It wouldn't be long before Yu Xiu's strength could Break Through to Martial Saint, or even Martial God.

“Today, we practice formations.”

“I have already taught you the Mandarin Duck Formation. Next, you need to practice the Mandarin Duck Formation in conjunction with the formations.”

Now, only about ten days remained until the end of military training.

Yu Xiu summarized the military training program based on his previous life.

What was useful to these students was nothing more than standing at attention, formations, and the final drill, a five-day forest hunt.

Finally, perhaps out of nostalgia,

Yu Xiu also decided to hold a military training cultural performance, which was also a chance for these freshmen to relax.

After all, once military training ended, they would then be busy striving for resources and military merits.

There wouldn't be much free time; some would even choose to enlist in their second year... Five days passed in a flash.

Teamwork, as well as formations and the Mandarin Duck Formation, these freshmen had all become proficient.

Next was the forest hunt.

Under the Principal's arrangements,

buses drove directly to the forest.

It was the forest in Wu Mountain.

There were many Vicious Beasts inside.

“From now on, you will undertake the forest hunt project. During this period, you will have no food, no water, and no outdoor survival items whatsoever.”

“You only have your teammates. For five days, collect the left ears of Vicious Beasts. The team that collects the most will receive military merit rewards, and the individual with the most will also receive military merit rewards.”

“Of course, if anyone in the team is injured or dies, all military merit and resource rewards will be canceled.”

“Now, you may depart.”

As Yu Xiu's words fell,

whether they were students from Huaxia University or other schools, they all rushed into the forest in teams.

“I am very much looking forward to this year's freshman forest hunt.”

Accompanying Yu Xiu was the Dean of the Martial Arts Academy. Accompanying students from other schools were their team-leading mentors.

As for the Principal, he had already returned.

After all, the forest hunt for other students also had to proceed, and they all went to the forests around their respective cities.

And the new recruits of the military district,

were led back to their respective military districts by their leaders.

Before leaving,

the Colonel once again invited Yu Xiu to serve as the General Instructor, but he refused.

Yu Xiu had many things to do next.

He simply had no time to be a General Instructor for any military district.

His primary goal now was to improve the strength of his battle team members, and then to obtain as many military merits and resources as possible.

Then, he would seize a Secret Realm City to ensure the safety of his family and the families of his members.

The more he knew,

the more Yu Xiu realized the danger in China, after all, he had too many enemies.

“Through Yu Xiu's training, these students have already undergone a complete transformation. They have understood the importance of teamwork.”

“Moreover, with the Mandarin Duck Formation, they can probably easily defeat even Grandmaster-level Vicious Beasts.”

“Indeed, I heard that after the Mandarin Duck Formation was spread, many second and third-year students also began practicing it.”

“You probably don't know, do you? Now, high schools across the country have also introduced military training, all to make up for the students' lack of team spirit.”

“This is a good thing. This way, the students' overall strength and unity can be fully developed.”

As the mentors discussed, the Dean of the Martial Arts Academy next to them was filled with pride.

For no other reason.

Yu Xiu was his student.

Even though Yu Xiu's strength was greater than his, it didn't change the fact that he was his student.

The more achievements Yu Xiu had, and the greater his reputation, the higher the prestige of him, the Dean of the Martial Arts Academy, became.

Thinking about his little granddaughter at home during this time,

when she learned that Yu Xiu was his student, the look of admiration in her eyes made him feel very pleased.

“Yu Xiu, should we go rest in the Training Camp?”

The Provincial Training Camp was located in the forest.

Yu Xiu was naturally familiar with this place.

The former Chief of the Training Camp was Chen Sihai. Since following Yu Xiu, he had begun his retirement life.

Every day, he would either drink tea with Yu Xiu's father or find a place to play chess with others.

From Go to Chinese chess,

now Yu Xiu's father and Chen Sihai were the chess killers of the Jiangtan area.

Many people were unwilling to play chess with them.

For no other reason.

Only because they always cheated.

Their chess skills were superb, but cheating always made people very unhappy.

Thinking of Chen Sihai, a Martial Venerable powerhouse, spitting and arguing with a group of old men who weren't even Martial Artists, Yu Xiu couldn't help but want to laugh.

“Let's go!”

Yu Xiu nodded, and the other mentors naturally followed closely behind.

A moment later,

Yu Xiu arrived at the entrance of the Training Camp.

Although there were no students here now, everything was still running.

The instructors were still present.

“Yu, Yu Xiu?”

The guard saw Yu Xiu and immediately became nervous, “Is there something you need?”

It was clear that the guard was very cautious when facing Yu Xiu.

“The students are participating in the military training hunt here. We've come here to rest for a bit.”

“Oh, I see! Please come in quickly, I will immediately contact the Chief.”

Yu Xiu nodded.

Not long after walking into the Training Camp, he saw a middle-aged man running towards them, accompanied by several people in instructor uniforms.

The middle-aged man was a Martial Venerable.

He must be the new Chief.

However, the several instructors beside him made Yu Xiu look twice.

Because among these instructors, one of them was Yu Xiu's old acquaintance, Nightingale.

Jiang Zuoyi had used the Chu family's connections to transfer Nightingale here.

However, the Training Camp was closed prematurely not long after, due to Yu Xiu.

“Nightingale, long time no see.”

Seeing Yu Xiu speak to Nightingale first, the Chief showed no dissatisfaction; instead, he stood by with a smiling face, waiting.
