Gu Xingmian slept in Xiao Qiong's spirit body for a night, and woke up the next day full of energy.
As soon as he opened the door of the dormitory, he saw Eric and Fu Fenglin waiting outside, and Gu Gu and Haman rushed in immediately.
Gu Xingmian hugged Gu Gu and listened to Eric and Fu Fenglin talking about the content of yesterday's class. Suddenly, he had the illusion of rushing to early classes with his classmates in college.
Eric grabbed his hair and started to complain: "You don't know how terrible the course was after you left yesterday. Instructor Dai was fine, but how come even Teacher Wright became so fierce!"
Fu Fenglin sneered: "I told you to train well, but you didn't listen and always slacked off. Now you know how powerful it is!"
Gu Xingmian and Eric shrank their necks at the same time.
Thinking about how he didn't want to stay in Xiao Qiong's spiritual body before, he not only slacked off and ran out to play, but also kidnapped Gugu and Harman. Hearing such words, he felt guilty.
Xiao Qiong found that Gu Xingmian was unusually quiet today, and couldn't help but look at him, but found that he looked serious, as if he was making a difficult decision.
He was about to ask Gu Xingmian, when he suddenly raised his head and said with high spirits: "Today's training must be completed 100%!"
Xiao Qiong: "..."
What stimulated him?
However, Gu Xingmian's fighting spirit only lasted for half an hour.
When they arrived at the training ground, after hearing today's mission, Gu Xingmian suddenly became depressed.
Teacher Wright held the training board and said seriously: "The content and map of the four-school league competition will only be more complicated and difficult than the school selection. You also watched the video of Admiral Gwen yesterday. The reason why he was able to turn defeat into victory in the end was not only because of his tacit cooperation with the God Card and his superb tactics, but more importantly, his familiarity with various terrains. It was with this ability that he was able to play his opponents in the palm of his hand."
Speaking of this, he paused and glanced at Xiao Qiong and Gu Xingmian.
In fact, Gu Xingmian's move yesterday also borrowed the advantage of the terrain to some extent, which was similar to Admiral Gwen's.
Gu Xingmian also thought of this, but he knew in his heart that he was lucky to win yesterday. If Ella and Fred were not so afraid of water, or if Fred used range attacks from the beginning, he would not have been able to hold on to Xiao Qiong.
The four-school league competition relies on real skills, and it is impossible to rely on this little cleverness.
However, he looked at the tasks on the training board and couldn't help but feel weak in the knees.
There are a total of ten types of terrain in the new training ground. All terrains must be passed within the specified time to meet the standard. Moreover, the card master cannot use auxiliary cards and must pass them together with the God Card. As
soon as these words came out, everyone immediately cried out in pain.
"The terrain is complicated enough, why are we being attacked!"
"With such a short time, how can we get through it by running without auxiliary cards!"
At
this time, the card master whose weapon is the God Card is very envious of the classmates who have alien beasts. After all, most alien beasts can be used as a means of transportation. For example, Ella from Fred's family can even be regarded as able to fly. Passing this course is simply a piece of cake.
However, Fred's face did not look very good. After all, one of the terrains is water, which hits his sore spot.
Of course, no matter how difficult they are, it is not as difficult as Gu Xingmian.
Just when he was about to back down, a palm gently pressed on his shoulder: "Don't worry, I'm here."
He turned around and saw Xiao Qiong's calm expression as usual.
The fear and retreat in his heart gradually dissipated, and he waved his fist vigorously: "Fuck him!"
When they were ready, Wright took them to the new training ground. When they walked in, they saw a steep mountain in front of them. The mountain was overgrown with weeds and the road was almost invisible.
Everyone couldn't help but swallow their saliva: It's so difficult at the beginning, isn't it!
And Wright completely lost his previous amiable look, and said coldly: "I remind you again, this is a single-player mission. Only the card master and the God Card are allowed to cooperate with each other. Others cannot help each other, otherwise it will be considered a failure. Do you understand?"
Gu Xingmian: "..."
He always felt that this was said to himself.
After Wright finished talking about the precautions, he shouted to start without mercy.
Everyone immediately started to climb the mountain in a hurry.
Without the help of auxiliary cards, everyone was not used to it at first, but soon, some people found a way to cooperate with the God Cards and began to show their skills.
Molly sprayed a white spider silk, tightly wrapped around the tree trunk in front, and Nina grabbed the spider silk and quickly climbed up.
Another classmate who used a zipline used a similar method, using the zipline to grab the mountain wall in front, and his speed was not slow.
However, the fastest one was still Fred. This kind of forest was simply the most suitable place for Ella to perform.
Only two minutes after the start, everyone quickly opened up the gap.
Xiao Qiong and Gu Xingmian were left far behind.
Gu Xingmian gritted his teeth, not looking at the people who passed him, but focused on the road under his feet. He knew that he was an ordinary person, and his physical fitness was not as good as theirs in all aspects, but since he decided to "fuck him", he never thought of giving up.
If it were normal, maybe he would be lazy and act coquettishly and ask Xiao Qiong to carry him, but now it is different, they are teammates.
During training, Xiao Qiong can carry him to protect him, but what about the subsequent competitions?
Since the so-called gods have tied them together, he at least doesn't want to be a burden to Xiao Qiong, and it's a good opportunity to see how far his ability can go.
Xiao Qiong looked at his pale face, the sweat running down his forehead, and his body was rubbed with gray marks, but he was unaware of it, his eyes were full of tenacity of not admitting defeat.
This was a more ferocious look that Gu Xingmian had never shown before, but Xiao Qiong was moved by him.
He understood Gu Xingmian and did not offer to help him, but just slowed down and followed him silently.
Gu Xingmian also slowly found his own rhythm, and his speed actually increased.
At this moment, a scream suddenly came from the front.
Everyone stopped and looked over, only to see a thick vine that had grown on the side of the road at some point, and it actually swept him away very quickly.
At the same time, Wright's voice rang above their heads: "Joseph, failure."
Everyone was shocked.
"What is this?!"
"They said we would be attacked on the road, could it be these things!"
"Damn, where did this thing come from?"
Because of the vines that appeared inexplicably, everyone slowed down, but even so, some people were still attacked.
The vines were the same color as the surrounding trees, silent and extremely fast. Before everyone could react, they were dragged away.
But in just a few minutes, three people had been dragged away.
Everyone didn't care about climbing the mountain anymore, and they were alert all around.
Gu Xingmian also stopped, gasping for breath. When he just climbed up, he saw the last person being dragged away.
He calmed his breath a little and said, "This seems to be Milgard vine. This vine grows on trees and changes color with the surrounding environment, so it is difficult to be found. But because it absorbs nutrients and moisture from the trees it is attached to, the branches it is attached to will dry up..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Song Nanting pointed to a tree next to him and said, "Is that right?"
Everyone looked in the direction of her finger and saw that although the tree was tall and strong, its trunk was dry. The dark brown trunk was not smooth. Looking closely, it seemed as if it had many tumors.
Suddenly, those tumor-like things turned into a long vine and attacked everyone.
But this time they were prepared and all dodged.
"It's actually true!!"
"What kind of rice vine is this? Is there any way to deal with it? Otherwise, we not only have to climb the mountain but also have to be on guard all the time. It's too difficult..."
Gu Xingmian nodded: "Milka vine has a weakness, it's afraid of sourness."
He said, and asked Song Nanting to pick the bunches of bright red fruits on the roadside: "This is called Feifei fruit. Although it looks good, it tastes sour..."
Before he finished speaking, Eric had already pinched a fruit and put it in his mouth, and then his facial features wrinkled because of the sourness.
Gu Xingmian: "..."
He once again felt that it was not easy for Eric to live safely for so long.
Gu Xingmian asked them to pick these fruits and rub the juice on their bodies, and Milka vine would not attack them.
His eloquent talk directly stunned everyone.
"You... you recognize it?"
Gu Xingmian coughed lightly: "I've read "The Encyclopedia of Flora and Fauna of St. Robert"..."
"Hey, is there such a book?"
"I think I've seen it in the library..."
Before, when Gu Xingmian couldn't go out to play, he ran to the library to borrow books. Who would have thought that the books in the library were all about fighting or cards. He finally found one or two unpopular leisure books. Who would have thought that they would come in handy today.
Everyone rubbed the juice of the Fifi fruit on their bodies as he said, and they really didn't suffer from Milgarten's attack again.
But everyone didn't dare to let down their guard. They slowed down and followed Gu Xingmian, for fear that there would be some strange plants attacking them in front.
Gu Xingmian thought he was definitely the last one in the first level, but he didn't expect to catch up with the main group for this reason.
Fu Fenglin walked beside Xiao Qiong with Gugu in her arms, and said with emotion: "It's UR Ka indeed!"
Xiao Qiong had a faint smile on his face, but he corrected him without hesitation: "It's not UR Ka, it's Gu Xingmian."
Fu Fenglin: "What's the difference... Okay, I know, I won't say it anymore."
At this time, cheers suddenly came from the front: "We've reached the top of the mountain! We've passed the first level!"
Xiao Qiong and Fu Fenglin looked up and saw the sign that represented the end of the first level, but nearly 20 minutes had passed, and there was not much time left for the rest, so everyone had no time to rest and rushed into the second level.
Wright, who was watching all this outside, sighed: "Three people have failed in the first round, what will happen next?"
Dai Baiyu calmly poured cold water on him: "At least it's better than our previous prediction of eliminating half of them."
Wright said helplessly: "If Gu Xingmian hadn't recognized Milgarten and knew how to deal with it, they wouldn't have had it so easy. Maybe it would be worse than we expected."
Dai Baiyu: "This UR card is really unpredictable."
Ever since Gu Xingmian was drawn out, apart from his affinity for the God Card, he has not shown any decent abilities, so much so that many people in the academy are now saying that he is a useless card with only a name.
Wright was also worried about this, but when he saw Xiao Qiong's face, which didn't care about anything except fighting, showing his concentration and concern for others for the first time, he felt that this might be God's arrangement.
Dai Baiyu watched them enter the second level and shook his head: "The next desert terrain looks simple, but it is not easy to pass. I don't know how many people can pass it..."
...
Everyone looked at the rolling yellow sand in front of them and was stunned for two seconds.
"After climbing the mountain, we will cross the desert. The teachers really know how to have fun!"
"By the way, the desert should not be as difficult as the mountains..."
"That's not necessarily true..."
When they were still hesitating, Fred had already set off first.
Ella's body grew rapidly, and even carrying Fred did not seem to be a problem at all. She glided across the yellow sand in front of her like a leaf and went far away.
The others were almost envious.
With a God Card like Ella, it was as easy as cheating!
But at this moment, a tornado suddenly appeared not far away and swept them in.
Wright's voice came again from above: "Fred, failed."
Everyone: "!!!"
Tornadoes are a bit absurd, right? !
But they had no choice but to grit their teeth and move forward.
The desert was endless, and there were no plants to attack them, but from time to time there were tornadoes, and quicksand pits that could easily lead to them. It seemed peaceful, but in fact it was full of dangers.
Gu Xingmian swallowed a mouthful of sand and could only say "Pooh, Pooh, Pooh" while covering his head and face with his clothes.
Visibility was extremely low in the wind and sand, and soon he could not see the people around him. At this time, a hand reached out and grabbed him.
Xiao Qiong's voice was also vague through the wind and sand: "Follow me, don't get lost."
Xiao Qiong's palms were large, and his palms were hard ropes. He felt as safe as he did, and he continuously transmitted strength.
Gu Xingmian followed Xiao Qiong forward, one foot deep and one foot shallow.
Suddenly, Xiao Qiong rushed directly towards him and pressed him under him.
"Mmm..."
Gu Xingmian didn't have time to react before he felt a gust of wind with a devastating momentum sweeping over them.
The terrifying sound of the wind was whistling in his ears, as if it was going to turn the entire ground over.
Xiao Qiong lowered his body, thrust his arms into the sand, veins bulging, and used all his strength to fight the strong wind.
Gu Xingmian was firmly protected under him, the only safe place in this sandstorm.
After an unknown amount of time, the wind gradually died down.
Xiao Qiong dragged Gu Xingmian out of the sand.
Gu Xingmian collapsed on the sand, exhausted. Xiao Qiong stood up, looked into the distance, and said, "Hold on a little longer, I think I can see the edge of the desert!"
Gu Xingmian wiped the sand off his face and tried to get up: "Okay..."
But before he finished speaking, his body sank. He immediately realized something and shouted, "Don't come over!"
The quicksand pit under his feet was moving very fast, and it instantly submerged Gu Xingmian. When the yellow sand was about to cover him, he only saw Xiao Qiong rushing towards him.
...
When he opened his eyes again, he was already lying in the rest room outside the training ground. Xiao Qiong was in a better condition than him, and was using a treatment card to treat his arm injury.
There were many people sitting or lying in the room. Gu Xingmian counted them and found that most of his teammates were here.
"It seems that Nina and Eric haven't come out yet!" someone said.
However, as soon as the words fell, Eric and Harman were sent in with dusty faces.
And Nina didn't hold out longer than him. Just when she entered the third terrain, the swamp terrain, she was also sent in.
At this time, Wright and Dai Baiyu walked in together.
At this time, Wright regained his usual smile: "Classmates, how do you feel?"
No one answered.
Wright asked, "Is it difficult?"
A weak voice suddenly rang out from the crowd: "Yes..."
Wright changed his tone: "But this is only the most basic terrain in the Four Schools League. If you can't even pass this, let alone fight against card masters from other academies, you can't even qualify for the Four Schools League."
The enthusiasm of the crowd was dashed. The difficulty of the Four Schools League was simply not on the same dimension as they thought.
How excited I was to watch the video of Admiral Gwen's game yesterday, how frustrated I was today.
After knocking, he told them that tomorrow's course would still be the terrain course. When they finished this lesson, they could enter the next class.
After that, Wright and Dai Baiyu left.
After they left, the classmates also left in twos and threes. Xiao Qiong came to Gu Xingmian's bed and said, "Let's go back too."
"Oh." Gu Xingmian climbed down from the bed, but his legs were so sore that he almost knelt down on the spot to wish Xiao Qiong a happy new year.
Xiao Qiong had no choice but to let him return to his spiritual body to rest.
Thinking of Gu Xingmian's pale face and his trembling legs that could hardly stand up, he hesitated for a moment before saying, "How about I carry you on my back in tomorrow's geography class!"
Gu Xingmian was stunned, and then he felt a little depressed: "Am I a burden to you?"
"No. " Xiao Qiong immediately retorted, "I just think that since it is a cooperation, we should play to our strengths. If we fight alone, what is the point of cooperation? 】
He paused: 【I have good physical strength, carrying you on my back will not affect my movements, and those strange animals and plants along the way are just for you to identify...】
Gu Xingmian thought for a while, and felt that what he said made some sense, and immediately became motivated again: 【Okay! I will go back tonight to find the "Saint Roberts Flora and Fauna Encyclopedia" and read it again! 】I
must take the determination of the college entrance examination and memorize it.
Xiao Qiong laughed: 【Okay. 】
In the next few days, all the students tried hard to conquer the topography class, but no one succeeded.
Because the topography class every day will change from the previous day. Maybe the first type of terrain today is a mountain, and tomorrow it will become a swamp. In addition, the animals and plants in each type of terrain will also change, and the experience of the previous day is not applicable today.
The closest Xiao Qiong and Gu Xingmian came to success was at the eighth level. When the two were climbing the cliff, they were attacked by cliff birds. Gu Xingmian lost his grip and fell down.
After waking up, Gu Xingmian was in a trance for a long time.
Xiao Qiong asked him worriedly.
But he heard him say sullenly: "I'll go to your spiritual body."
Xiao Qiong thought he was tired, so he said: "Okay, you take a rest, and I'll call you out when you get back."
Gu Xingmian went in, but was in a daze.
He thought of the recent classes and the times that Xiao Qiong came to save him.
In fact, he knew very well that if it weren't for his own burden, with Xiao Qiong's ability, he might have passed it alone.
Xiao Qiong didn't say anything.
But Gu Xingmian thought that since Xiao Qiong drew his card, it didn't bring him any benefit, and it seemed to cause him trouble.
He once heard other classmates say that Xiao Qiong didn't want to draw the card at first. He was even late on the day of the card drawing and didn't take it seriously at all.
Moreover, Xiao Qiong is a very opinionated person. Does he really want to have his future practice direction determined by a card?
Gu Xingmian didn't dare to think about it anymore.
Today's topography class made him see the cruelty of the four-school league. Even the four-school league was not the end. After that, they might join the army and fight against the evil spirits that he had only heard of but never seen.
Gu Xingmian really wanted to retreat, but along the way, his mentality seemed to have gradually changed.
Although he still didn't accept himself as a card in his heart, he accepted Xiao Qiong as his teammate.
But could he really be Xiao Qiong's teammate when he knew nothing?
Xiao Qiong felt the depression coming from his spiritual body.
In fact, he didn't care much about the result of today's topography class. After thinking about it, he comforted Gu Xingmian: [You don't have to worry.
For topography, as long as you practice makes perfect, you will definitely pass it.] However, Gu Xingmian didn't have the usual energy. He slowly came out of his spiritual body and made up his mind: "I want to test my ability again."
Xiao Qiong was stunned.
Ever since Gu Xingmian was injured in the last test, the two of them tacitly didn't mention this matter again. Why did Gu Xingmian suddenly remember it again?
Gu Xingmian nodded vigorously, as if he was talking to him, or to himself: "Try again, we have to face it eventually!"
Xiao Qiong wanted to persuade him, but he stood firm: "Come on!"
Xiao Qiong could only take out a card and threw it at Gu Xingmian.
Gu Xingmian focused his attention and was surprised to find that the star map seemed to be more complete this time than the last time, but just when he was happy, the star map disappeared in an instant like last time, and the knife attacked him.
Gu Xingmian: "!"
But this time Xiao Qiong was prepared. When he threw the card, he had already come to his side and blocked the attack with other auxiliary cards in time.
Cold sweat slid down Gu Xingmian's forehead. He could no longer hold on and fell to the ground.
"What's wrong?"
Xiao Qiong hurriedly supported him and found that he just fell down because of exhaustion and it was not serious, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
Xiao Qiong felt that Gu Xingmian was really a little strange today. After his repeated questioning, Gu Xingmian stammered out his thoughts.
Xiao Qiong didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
He said that recently Gu Xingmian couldn't get out of his spiritual body in the middle of the night, and often ran into his spiritual body outside of class. It turned out that he thought his ability was related to the tacit understanding between the two, so he secretly worked hard.
Gu Xingmian muttered: "But it is indeed useful! The star map I saw tonight seems to be more complete."
Xiao Qiong was stunned, and then said in a deep voice: "What have you done recently?"
Gu Xingmian also thought of this, counting on his fingers: "It is no different from before, just training, reading, drilling your spiritual body, oh, and taking auxiliary cards..."
Xiao Qiong suddenly said: "You don't seem to have vomited for a while?"
Gu Xingmian reacted immediately.
"It's auxiliary cards!"
