"I understand.
"
nMeng Quan took a deep breath. His gaze was firm.
nHe understood in his heart that these enemy kingdom soldiers that had experienced the baptism of the battlefield had long ago had thrown away any hopes of living the moment they were captured, and as such, they would attack without mercy.
nHe felt pressured.
nBut even more so, he felt the intent to do battle!
nMeanwhile, the Iron Blood Army’s Vice Commander looked towards the group of youths that stayed behind before saying,
"Very good, you’ve all not disappointed me… As such, I shall now declare that the Genius Camp test officially begins!
"
nAs Qiao Qing Shan’s voice echoed out, a group of Iron Blood Army soldiers walked over quickly, brought along with them a group of bound enemy kingdom soldiers, and stood at a side of the drill grounds.
nThe army of soldiers moved like a large nimbus cloud that enveloped the lands.
nThese enemy kingdom soldiers all had dull expressions without any trace of life…
n
"Today, I’ll give you prisoners a chance at freedom. Six ninth level Body Tempering prisoners, three first level Core Formation prisoners, and one second level Core Formation prisoner will join forces. If you can kill any one of them, I’ll return your freedom to you!
"
nQiao Qing Shan pointed towards the group of youths, whereas his gaze instead descended upon the two thousand plus enemy kingdom soldiers.
nInstantly, these enemy kingdom soldiers, whose faces were white and lifeless, suddenly felt their spirits shake, and their eyes emitted a yearning desire…
nA yearning desire to live!
nA yearning desire for freedom!
nFollowing which, their gazes descended upon the group of youths on the drill grounds. Their eyes emitted a bloodthirsty killing intent.
nImmediately, the expressions of many youths in the group went pale.
nWhen had they ever faced such fierce and ruthless people before? The gazes of these people were practically wishing to tear them to pieces…
n
"These enemy kingdom soldiers will definitely fight to the death for the sake of freedom and to continue living!
"
nDuan Ling Tian sighed.
n
"Yeah, we absolutely can’t slack off.
"
nXiao Yu agreed deeply.
n
"Number 1, fall out.
"
nOne of the captains behind Qiao Qing Shan stood out and his gaze descended upon the group of youths.
nImmediately, a youth walked out in large strides. The youth’s face was ghastly pale and his eyes emitted a trace of fear…
nNoticing the state of the youth, the Captain frowned as he asked,
"Are you taking the test alone or with your companions?
"
n
"I…I’ll be taking the test with my companions,
" the youth said in a slightly flustered manner.
nMeanwhile, two more youths with similarly ugly expressions fell out.
n
"Report your numbers.
"
n
"Number 2.
"
n
"Number 3.
"
nThe two youths took a deep breath and stood with the youth that walked out earlier after they had finished reporting their numbers.
n
"Release 30 prisoners into the arena.
"
nThe Captain looked towards the group of enemy kingdom soldiers in the first row.
nAfter being untied, the 30 enemy kingdom soldiers stretched their limbs and walked quickly into the arena. Their faces emitted frenzied and savage smiles.
nTheir gazes flickered with cold light as they looked at the three youths like a pack of dogs seeing three bones…
n
"Begin!
"
nAs the Captain’s voice descended, the 30 enemy kingdom soldiers and the three youths all moved.
n
"Kill!
"
nThe 30 enemy kingdom soldiers roared together, their voices like thunder!
nHearing their voices caused the three youths’ expressions to turn grim. Facing the 30 enemy kingdom soldiers that pounced at them like fierce beast actually caused them to be stunned out of fear momentarily, so their legs seemed as heavy as lead, and they were unable to move an inch.
nIn the blink of an eye, the three youths were torn to shreds!
nBlood and flesh flew about in the air as a bloody stench suffused into the entire drill grounds.
nAt a side of the drill grounds, more than 90% of the youths were scared to the point that their expressions turned ghastly white; some were even worse and puked out everything they had eaten that morning.
nFor a time, the entire drill grounds was suffused with a weird smell…
n
"So smelly.
"
nThe ghastly pale-faced Meng Quan pinched his nose.
nXiao Yu frowned.
nOnly Duan Ling Tian didn’t have any reaction. As a mercenary in his previous life, he had stayed in even worse conditions than this.
nAs far as he was concerned, this was nothing.
n
"Send them out of the city!
" the Captain ordered.
nImmediately, a group of Iron Blood Army soldiers fell out.
n
"Thank you, Sir!
"
nThe 30 enemy kingdom soldiers emitted a wildly joyous expression as they knelt down and kowtowed three times before leaving.
nSeeing 30 of their companions easily regaining their freedom caused the remaining enemy kingdom soldiers to emit a bright light from their eyes, as they yearned for themselves to be able to enter the arena as soon as possible…
nPresently, they looked at the group of youths in the distance as if they were looking at a group of sheep waiting to be slaughtered.
n
"If you choose to join hands with a companion and undergo the test, the danger is even greater! When three people face 30 enemy kingdom soldiers who will cooperate with tacit understanding, even if your strength is formidable, it will still be difficult to go against their joint attacks.
"
nSome of the youths noticed some inklings.
nSome of the youths that originally intended to join hands with their companions now had all given up on this intention.
n
"Looks like I have the ability of foresight.
"
nMeng Quan grinned widely.
n
"These enemy kingdom soldiers are to savage and cruel; I really hope we can join hands… Meng Quan, are you really confident?
"
nDuan Ling Tian frowned.
nThis past month’s travel and interaction had long ago made him take Meng Quan as a friend.
n
"I’ll try my best.
"
nMeng Quan’s eyes emitted an intent to battle.
n
"Number 4!
"
nMeanwhile, the Captain spoke once again.
nThis time, only one youth entered the arena.
nAfter the ten enemy kingdom soldiers were untied, they glared fiercely at the youth while walking over...
n
"Begin!
"
nThe Captain’s voice had only just sounded when...
nWhoosh!
nThe youth exploded forth with his entire strength, and three ancient mammoth silhouettes appeared above him.
nSecond level Core Formation martial artist!
nIt had to be noted that the youth’s movement technique was extremely profound and his speed was extremely swift.
nEven the second level Core Formation martial artist amongst the enemy kingdom soldiers could only eat dust behind him.
nBefore long, the second level Core Formation enemy kingdom soldier decisively roared,
"Box him in!
"
nFor a moment, the ten enemy kingdom soldiers abruptly spread apart before surrounding the youth and causing him to have nowhere to dodge.
nThe youth’s expression turned grim as he targeted a ninth level Core Formation enemy kingdom soldier. His body then jerked before pouncing towards the soldier.
nBang!
nHis Origin Energy exploded forth and his fist that carried with it the force of lightning smashed onto the soldier’s head, directly smashing it into pieces. His face was splashed with brain juice as well.
n
"Nice!
"
nMany of the youths that were spectating cheered.
nBut in the next moment, their voices stopped abruptly.
nThe youth on the arena screeched after blasting apart the enemy kingdom soldier’s head, then a wave of violent vomiting followed…
nObviously it was his first time killing someone.
nIn the next moment, however, he was killed by the other nine enemy kingdom soldiers that pounced on him.
nThe nine enemy kingdom soldiers obtained their freedom.
nIt is needless to say that the lesson drawn from another’s mistakes were undoubtedly the best lesson.
nAfter numbers 1 to 13 were all killed, number 14, a second level Core Formation youth, finally launched a counterattack. He killed the enemy kingdom soldiers one by one until finally completely annihilating them.
n
"Number 14 passes!
"
nThe youth took a deep breath when he heard the Captain’s voice and walked out of the pile of corpses with a heavy expression.
nFollowing him was number 15.
nAfter killing six enemy kingdom soldiers, the youth was exhausted and thus killed by the remaining four soldiers.
nThe slaughter continued on.
nOne after another, the youths either passed the test or were killed…
nLater on, these young geniuses from every corner of Swallow Mountain County were numbed towards the slaughter and were able to freely exert their strengths.
nThe number of youths who passes the test increase as time went by.
nMeanwhile, the expressions of the enemy kingdom soldiers weren’t very good.
n
"Looks like it’s beneficial to be at the back of the line.
"
nMeng Quan glanced at the number 139 card in his hand and grinned.
n
"Number 100!
"
nIn the wake of the Captain’s call, a black figure flashed into the arena like a ghost.
nIt was precisely Yu Xiang!
nThe ten enemy kingdom soldiers eyed Yu Xiang with hostility in the beginning, but once they saw the six ancient mammoth silhouettes that appeared above him, they were all terrified.
n
"Fourth level of the Core Formation Stage!
"
nThese soldiers understood that if they didn’t fight desperately with their lives on the line, they would undoubtedly die, so they pounced towards Yu Xiang like madmen.
nBut unfortunately, Yu Xiang just stood there. They weren’t even able to break through his defensive qi barrier… They were killed by Yu Xiang one after the other.
n
"Although arrogant, this Yu Xiang does have some strength.
"
nDuan Ling Tian’s eyes narrowed.
nUp until now, Yu Xiang was the young genius that passed the test in the most relaxed manner.
n
"Great work, Brother Yu Xiang!
"
nYu Xiao and the other three Yu Clan youths couldn’t help themselves from cheering.
nAs Yu Xiang slowly walked back, his haughty gaze descended open the violet-clothed figure in the distance, and his eyes flickered with a malicious brilliance….
nDuan Ling Tian naturally noticed Yu Xiang’s gaze; however, he paid no attention to it.
nNo matter whether it was his previous lifetime or the current one, there were plenty of people who wanted him dead, but in the end he still lived well on…
nBesides that one time where he was sold out by the person he looked to as a brother.
nAfter Yu Xiang and before Duan Ling Tian, a few third level Core Formation young geniuses appeared, and one after the other they smoothly passed the Genius Camp test.
n
"Number 137!
"
nFinally, it was Duan Ling Tian’s turn.
nDuan Ling Tian walked out in large strides, attracting the attention of many.
nMany of the people present felt respect in their hearts towards this youth that dared to speak freely and frankly in front of the Iron Blood Army’s Vice Commander.
nThe serious expressions of the ten enemy kingdom soldiers that followed him up into the arena eased up when the noticed that Duan Ling Tian was much younger than the other youths, and their eyes emitted a sense of insanity.
nAs far as they were concerned, a youth that looked to be not even seventeen wouldn’t be exceptionally strong.
nBut when they saw the six ancient mammoth silhouettes that appeared above Duan Ling Tian, they were utterly dumbstruck…
nAnother fourth level Core Formation martial artist!
nSpirit Serpent Movement Technique!
nDuan Ling Tian’s body moved as if transforming into a bolt of lightning, flashing straight towards the ten soldiers that were still in a daze.
nHe lifted his arm and swung out!
nLike a huge python swinging out its tail, extremely ferocious!
nBang!
nInstantly, six of the soldiers were blasted away by his arm swing, and three among them instantly died.
nThe remaining three were barely breathing and had lost all means to continue battling.
n
"F**k! Freak!
"
n
"Not even using a martial skill, only a casual swing of his arm, and it seemed to contain the force of lightning… This Duan Ling Tian is too terrifying!
"
n
"He’s actually a fourth level Core Formation martial artist? No wonder he dared to confront Yu Xiang.
"
n
"He seems to not even be seventeen yet… Such natural talent is virtually against the heavens!
"
n...
nThe group of youths was dumbstruck, and as they returned to their senses, they repeatedly swore.
n
"What a kid!
"
nQiao Qing Shan’s gaze shone brightly.
nThe second level Core Formation soldier’s expression distorted as he howled,
"Disperse!
"
nThe remaining four enemy kingdom soldiers immediately dispersed, avoiding being taken out in one hit by Duan Ling Tian…
n
