23: Xiao Wan begs for help on her knees

Over at the Genius Training Camp.

Two hours passed quickly, and just as speculated, except for the students from First High, all of them passed the assessment. The pass rate for the other students was pitifully low, with the total number barely exceeding half.

There were originally seven hundred official members from the seven high schools in Jiangtan City, but now, fewer than four hundred people passed.

“From now on, those who passed the assessment will become official members of the Genius Training Camp, and you will also receive corresponding points.”

The dark-faced man turned to look at Nightingale, “Both of you, take them into the Training Camp.”

Cang Lang and Nightingale paid no attention to whether these students, who had just reached the summit, were tired. They simply glanced at them and then led the way down the mountain.

And those students, with pale faces and trembling legs, had no choice but to brace themselves and follow.

They arrived at the foot of the mountain.

The military trucks that would take them to the Training Camp were already parked there. Nightingale and Cang Lang each took the passenger seat of a truck.

As for the other students, they could only sit in the back of the military trucks.

“Yu Xiu, there are a few more passenger seats over there. You can decide how to allocate them. After all, we can’t waste resources, right!”

“Yang Duling, you take one.”

Yu Xiu turned to look at the students from First High, “The rest of you can choose your own people.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Xiu walked to the nearest military truck, opened the door, and got in.

Seeing this scene,

the students’ faces showed resentment, but they dared not speak up in protest.

As for the Pre-selection class crowd, Xiao Wan frowned and angrily thought to herself, “You and I are childhood sweethearts, why didn’t you let me sit there, but let Yang Duling sit there instead?”

“It’s been so long, has Dad contacted Uncle Yu yet? Why is Yu Xiu still not reacting?”

“Does he even care about his daughter? This Genius Training Camp has no death limit. He just wants me to die.”

At this moment, Nightingale shouted, “Everyone else, get in the truck quickly! You have one minute. If you exceed the time, you’ll have to run behind.”

Upon hearing this, the students frantically boarded the trucks. At this point, they didn't care about the crowded compartments; they just wanted to get on the truck within the specified time.

The compartments, which could originally only accommodate dozens of people, became overloaded due to the frantic scramble, leading to people being squeezed together. Even so, no one was willing to get off.

“What a good show.”

Cang Lang saw this and sneered, but he did not stop them.

“Ten seconds left.”

Yu Xiu sat in the passenger seat, watching the students like ants on a hot pan, and then looked at Nightingale and Cang Lang, who were sneering.

He remained expressionless, only feeling that here, the weak had no human rights; the weak were merely slaves and toys of the strong.

“Time’s up!”

“Depart!”

As the military trucks started, Yu Xiu also withdrew his gaze. As for whether anyone had to run behind, he didn't care in the slightest.

Their destination was deep within Wu Mountain, which was the true Genius Training Camp.

About half an hour later,

the military trucks stopped in front of a forest.

Nightingale shouted, “All Pre-selection class members, get off the trucks immediately.”

When over a thousand people got off the military trucks, Nightingale spoke again, “This forest is where you will live next.”

“There are wooden houses in the forest where you can live, instructors for you to consult, and resources for you to exchange, but all of this requires points.”

“Here, there are no rules. If you want to obtain anything, you must obtain it with your own hands.”

“Of course, I also want to remind you that this Genius Training Camp has no death limit, and you may face danger at any time.”

“Not only danger from people, but also danger from Vicious Beasts.”

“As for how to survive specifically, there are people in the forest who specialize in selling guides.”

At this point, Nightingale chuckled, “But if you want a guide, the prerequisite is that you must go to the person selling the guide.”

Upon hearing this!

Both Pre-selection class members and official members changed their expressions. Through Nightingale’s words, they already understood the danger level of this forest.

Moreover, living and food both required points, but the Pre-selection class had none at all.

So, they could only snatch and seize.

Without a death limit, the fighting would only become more brutal.

“I... I want to go home. I don’t want to participate in the Genius Training Camp anymore.”

“You are treating human lives like grass.”

“What a crappy Genius Training Camp! You are abusing us! I want to leave.”

Starting with just a few people, soon more joined the rebellion.

Among the crowd, Xiao Wan trembled all over, her face already completely devoid of color, obviously scared by Nightingale’s words.

“I... I don’t want to die.”

“Yu Xiu, that’s right, Yu Xiu can definitely help me. He’s so amazing.”

Thinking this, Xiao Wan, as if grasping at a life-saving straw, frantically rushed towards the military truck where Yu Xiu was sitting.

“Yu Xiu, Yu Xiu…”

“I’m Xiao Wan, please help me. I really don’t want to die here.”

“We are childhood sweethearts. You used to like me so much. I can accept your pursuit now, please help me!”

Xiao Wan’s outburst immediately silenced the entire scene, even Nightingale and Cang Lang exchanged glances.

“What terrible taste. He used to like this kind of person.” Nightingale muttered in her heart, then her face showed pleasant surprise, “Yu Xiu can fancy this kind of person, it seems I also have a chance!”

Nightingale smiled and looked at Xiao Wan again. She wanted to see what Yu Xiu would do.

“Yu Xiu!”

“I know you can hear me. Can you help me?”

“My dad only has me as a daughter. He and Uncle Yu have such a good relationship. If I die, my dad will definitely be sad, and Uncle Yu will also be very sad in his heart.”

“Yu Xiu, please help me!”

However, no matter how Xiao Wan shouted outside, Yu Xiu never rolled down the window, as if the matter had nothing to do with him.

“Yu Xiu, you are truly heartless. You used to frequently sneak into First High to find Xiao Wan, and now that she’s in trouble, you turn a blind eye. You’re truly selfish, cold-blooded, and you deserve a terrible death.”

“You think you can be arrogant just because you became a Great Grandmaster? A selfish, cold-blooded beast like you, Yu Xiu, even if you become a Martial God in the future, we will still look down on you.”

“Unrequited love, resenting Xiao Wan, Yu Xiu, you are a coward.”

Those students who had originally wanted to seek help from Yu Xiu, seeing Xiao Wan get snubbed, understood in their hearts that they had no chance at all.

So, they began to curse, seemingly transferring all their resentment onto Yu Xiu, trying to vent.

Perhaps some also wanted to use this method to make Yu Xiu feel guilty, and in turn, help them.

However, no matter what their thoughts were, it seemed everything was in vain.

Yu Xiu ignored them from beginning to end, as if their words were just air.

“You bunch of bastards, what right do you have to talk about Cultivation God? How you gloated on the mountaintop before, and now you want Cultivation God to help you? What are you even?”

“Moral blackmail? Do you have the right? A bunch of idiots who only know how to bark.”

“Besides, it’s only right for Cultivation God not to help you, you dogs.”

“I’m not afraid to tell you, in this forest, there are students from other cities. Now you’re barking here, I’m waiting for you to be played like dogs.”
