Even a cleared outer area of the Twilight Forest was vast; the 300 students disappeared into the jungle almost without making a ripple.
Su Qing closed her eyes and opened them again, her pupils reflecting the scene in the forest.
A fully three-dimensional image took shape in my mind.
This area has been cleared out more than once, and the monsters inside were deliberately released.
Su Qing silently watched the students scurrying around like headless flies, her face expressionless. She opened her mouth, and someone immediately handed her some fruit.
I took a bite, the juice filling my mouth, then leaned back and comfortably settled into the large, sturdy recliner.
"Seeing those children suffer, I, as the principal, really feel a little heartbroken!"
Su Qing addressed the teachers and director beside her, looking extremely pleased, and took another bite of the melon.
Attention shifted to the forest, where some students had already come into contact with magical beasts.
With the tree canopy overhead blocking out the sun and withered branches and leaves crunching underfoot, the boy, about 1.5 meters tall and muscular, held his small blue python and warily watched his surroundings.
The boy walked quickly, intending to leave the dark area as soon as possible.
Whoosh!
With a whooshing sound, the boy quickly rolled away to dodge. When he stood up again, he had a short knife in his hand. He glanced at the stone that had fallen to the ground, then looked up at the tree behind him.
Two gray-furred apes, each holding a rock formed from earth elemental energy, looked at him mockingly, with a gleaming gold coin hanging from their chests.
Enraged, the boy unleashed his fighting spirit and charged towards the two monkeys.
Su Qing noticed the boy who was the first to come into contact with a magical beast and couldn't help but shake her head.
These two stone monkeys were at least five or six meters high in the tree, while the boy was holding a short knife and dagger. Rushing over like this would probably lead to trouble.
Sure enough, the two stone-throwing monkeys kept throwing stones down. The boy dodged left and right, but was still hit by several stones. The skin turned blue where he was hit, and his bones ached.
The boy bared his teeth, showing he wasn't truly stupid, and quickly retreated and fled.
However, the two monkeys seemed unwilling to let the boy go and continued to chase after him relentlessly.
Similar scenes occurred one after another, which did not surprise Su Qing at all. This experience was originally intended to give these teenagers more experience.
What really matters is which of these teenagers reacts first and delivers a standout performance.
Half a day passed, and Su Qing instructed one of her companions to go into the forest and bring back the two unconscious students.
The two guys entered the hallucinatory zone, where there were patches of small purple flowers that could emit hallucinogenic mist.
These two were also the first to be eliminated.
However, shortly afterward, someone else delivered a performance that Su Qing found impressive.
He was a boy who was about 1.7 meters tall, standing out among his peers. He had bronze skin, well-proportioned muscles, and bright, deep eyes.
Ruble, that very diligent student, is the third on Su Qing's list of key students to observe, second only to Alice and Locke.
This 14-year-old boy always exudes a temperament that is inconsistent with his age and that of a student.
He appears quiet and shy, but is actually aloof at heart.
At this moment, the boy was communicating with his magical pet. The two-headed wolf, named 'Dong Sheng', was very resistant, but was eventually persuaded by the boy through coercion and enticement.
Ruble hoisted the two-headed wolf to a tree with a straw rope, then carefully checked the surroundings several times before hiding in a very dense thicket of grass.
Then the two-headed wolf howled. Because it was suppressed, the sound wasn't very loud, but the nearby magical beasts with keen hearing would definitely be able to detect the target that Rub was trying to attract, which was precisely these magical beasts.
Entrapment!
This kid has potential!
Su Qing picked up a notebook next to her and wrote Ruble's name on it with a pen. She then marked a star next to the name if she was satisfied.
After waiting for about an hour, Rub was very patient. He knew that there was a high probability that some magical beasts had their eyes on this place, but out of caution, they did not come over.
Sure enough, a swishing sound soon rang out, and a large cat with fiery red fur slowly approached.
The sound just now was from the grass brushing against the big cat's body.
The big cat's ears perked up, alerting its surroundings, its greedy eyes fixed on the two-headed wolf hanging from the tree.
Who was the kind person who prepared this midnight snack for her? The two-headed wolf looked at the cat, which was more than ten times his size, and almost burst into tears.
This is terrifying, I want to go home!
The big cat arched its back, a sign that it was preparing to attack, but in the next moment, a figure moved as fast as lightning.
Before the big cat could recover from preparing to attack, a cold dagger had already plunged into her body, slicing open her stomach.
Fresh blood and intestines were spilled all over the ground, and the stench of blood filled the air, making it especially disgusting.
The ruble ignored it, and immediately retreated after landing a hit.
The big cat has a strong will to live and is still alive, but it is only barely clinging to life.
The intense light transformed from bewilderment to pain, then to hatred, and finally lost its color.
It was at this moment that the boy revealed a weaker side, gagging with a pale face.
But he quickly adjusted his mindset, took the gold coins off the big cat—there were four in total.
Su Qing placed different amounts of gold coins according to the different strengths of the magical beasts.
They don't necessarily have to choose to kill; they can also choose to steal. The gold coins they get represent their achievement in this training.
After untying his magical pet, the two-headed wolf immediately rushed to the large cat's corpse and began to tear and devour it.
The fact that monsters have the ability to devour other monsters to strengthen themselves is not surprising to Rub.
But he was urging the two-headed wolf to hurry up, because once the smell of blood spread, it would soon attract other magical beasts, and their numbers would definitely be considerable.
The two-headed wolf understood, at least through their shared thoughts, what Ruble was worried about. It didn't become overly greedy, ate some flesh and blood that was enough for him to digest for the time being, and then the two of them quickly left.
Not long after they left, a large number of magical beasts swarmed in and devoured the remaining flesh and blood.
Ruble was the first teenager to perform well, and as the others gradually adapted to the situation, they also began to show their talent.
Su Qing silently gave them scores.
Alice single-handedly cut down a pack of seven or eight wind wolves.
Their terrifying talent, combined with their arduous training over this period, has finally yielded results at this moment.
It must be admitted that, in terms of actual combat strength, this girl is the strongest among all of them.
However, Su Qing wasn't particularly satisfied with her; she was too honest. What was the point of being so honest?
You could have ambushed them! You could have taken them by surprise!
