Freshman Camp Tournament (7)
The falling red light was like a huge meteorite from outer space, colliding with the air and emitting extremely high heat, smashing heavily into Xia Shuxing, who had little fighting power left.
The audience outside the stadium couldn't help but hold their breath, as if they were the ones about to face this blow.
Xia Shuxing leaned on the Bi Hai Cang Long Spear and watched Shi Jianxia's figure infinitely enlarged. In this short period of time, he felt a moment of confusion in his heart.
The girl who had forced him into this predicament possessed only C-rank mimicry. She was a specially recruited freshman majoring in Zerg anatomy. At the military training results acceptance competition nearly a month ago, she had shown some ability, but was only on par with the average freshman from the combat department. In a one-on-one fight, she was no match for him.
But now, she summoned a hundred-meter-long dragon as a mimic, and the surging fighting power around her was intimidating. It seemed that any obstacle in front of her was not worth mentioning to her.
Are you afraid?
No.
Xia Shuxing stared straight into the pair of crimson vertical pupils, his heart beating uncontrollably. He waved the Azure Sea Dragon Spear in his hand and let out a loud shout.
In an instant, thunder rumbled in the tide, and the shadow of the Mosasaur swirled up, turning into a deep blue sea of stars that quickly shrank back, and then suddenly expanded in the next second.
Xia Shuxing's eyes turned into dark blue vertical pupils, and his long black hair, which was tied up high, also turned dark blue inch by inch, like seaweed swaying under the deep sea, blooming a dangerous halo in the converging cold currents. At the center of his eyebrows, the ancient Mosasaur totem swam quietly.
Outside the virtual screen, Baili Xuanyao narrowed his eyes slightly. "Isn't this the talent [Ancient Dragon Soaring] that only SS-rank Azure Sea Dragons can use? If I remember correctly, Xia Shuxing's mimicry is only S-rank, right?"
Yue Wuyin was still immersed in his own thoughts. When he heard these words unexpectedly, his eyes looked a little confused.
Gongye Jiwang leaned back on the sofa and replied, "The totem resonance of the mimicry of miracles doesn't specify which level of mimicry is required to use it. However, it's difficult for low-level mimicry to resonate with the totem, and this kind of talent is basically useless."
Having said that, he paused and commented simply, "Xia Shuxing is being stimulated."
As the saying goes, when you meet a strong opponent, you become stronger.
When mimicry was first invented by humans, there was no clear classification of levels, and mimicry was not divided into different levels like it is now. At that time, those with special abilities did not know that insect crystals could improve the combat level of mimicry. They all became stronger in actual combat, either fighting against the Zerg or challenging those with special abilities who were stronger than themselves.
Xia Shuxing was first defeated by Shi Jianxia's Zhulong in his mimicry, which he was proud of. At this moment, he realized that he was about to be defeated by her. His unwillingness to admit defeat made him make a final effort.
He is indeed a genius. He can resonate with the mimic totem under such extreme circumstances. He will definitely be a formidable opponent in the future.
Baili Xuanyao bent his fingers and tapped the table lightly, a hint of amusement appearing in his amber eyes. "That's interesting."
Yue Wuyin looked at him, then at Gongye Jiwang, and suddenly stood up and said, "I'll take a week off."
Baili Xuanyao made an OK gesture and asked, "Going to Nanteng Star?"
"I have to go and find out clearly, otherwise I will not be able to sleep at night." Yue Wuyin grabbed her jewel-encrusted bag on the chair and ran away in a hurry.
On the field, Xia Shuxing was still unaware that he had accidentally resonated with the mimic totem. He only felt a surge of aura, as if possessing boundless power. Even when he was approaching like a meteor, he no longer felt the same intense pressure as before.
At the moment when light and shadow intertwined, he swung his gun upwards!
The shadow of the Mosasaur roared and turned into a deep blue stream of light rushing towards Shi Jianxia!
The red and blue lights collided with each other, sending out terrifying air waves. The air waves pushed forward layer by layer, like a horrible meat grinder, breaking everything in the mountains and forests!
The branches and leaves are broken and the grass is flying!
The audience in front of the live broadcast couldn't bear such a dazzling light and subconsciously closed their eyes.
The red-blue halo magnified to the extreme and then disappeared in an instant. The round moonlight silently sprinkled on the earth. The dense mountain forests were like bald men with shaved heads, drooping miserably after this battle.
The air wave flattened the world.
On the cliff, Yuan Huai, who had been hiding behind the rocks, quietly moved out.
He first glanced at Jun Xiaoyi, who was covered in dust and dirt in the flying sand and rocks just now, and was extremely glad that he had dodged quickly. Then he stood up quickly, rushed to the edge of the cliff in a second, and looked around anxiously.
Finally, he found Shi Jianxia, wearing a red and black battle robe, at the end of a pit that was hundreds of meters long.
She lay on the ground in a miserable state, her majestic red and black battle robe was torn in several holes, her left hand hung limply, and blood was visible. The red jade crown was also a little crooked, and a few strands of hair fell from her temples, with half a green leaf hanging on it.
Yuan Huai suddenly shouted nervously: "Xia Xia! Xia Xia! How are you?"
When Shi Jianxia heard his shout, her dizzy vision gradually came into focus.
Above the sky, the full moon was bright and the stars were twinkling, presenting a peaceful and tranquil scene. There was no sign of the battle that the mountains and forests illuminated by it had gone through in the past few hours.
Shi Jianxia raised his almost powerless right hand, wiped the blood flowing down from his lips, used the last bit of strength in his body to stand up with the gun, and raised his right hand high towards the two people on the distant cliff.
At the same time, system announcements resounded inside and outside the stadium.
[System Announcement: All members of 'First Place' and 'Do You Agree?' are eliminated. The winning camp of this freshman camp competition is 'Brave Pu Pu, Not Afraid of Difficulties'!]
Yuan Huai burst into cheers, jumped up suddenly, and hugged Jun Xiaoyi, who was still picking fallen leaves beside him, like a koala.
-
The competition map turned into data fragments and disappeared, and all the contestants exited the Xuan Tower. Many people heard Yuan Huai's cheers that resounded throughout the indoor training ground before they even opened their eyes.
"We won, we won, we won! Aaaaaaaaaah! We! Win!!"
Yuan Huai was so happy that he almost flew up. He hugged Jun Xiaoyi who was sitting next to him and shook him until he felt dizzy.
From childhood to adulthood, Yuan Huai had everything he wanted. Others had to work hard to get into the Nan Teng Military Academy, but his father donated ten training grounds to exempt him from the entrance examination, thus lowering the admission threshold. Precisely because he could easily get what he wanted, he basically never experienced the pride and sense of honor that comes from hard work and victory.
Jun Xiaoyi tried hard to control the corners of his mouth that were curled up, cleared his throat and said, "Keep a low profile. There are so many defeated enemies here. If you shout so loudly, what will happen if we get beaten up?"
The cadets from other camps sitting not far from the three of them: "..."
I didn't have any idea at first, but after hearing this, my hands started to itch. What's going on?
Shi Jianxia rubbed his brows, listened to the conversation between the two people beside him, and the corners of his lips rose uncontrollably.
After withdrawing from the competition, the pain caused by her injury gradually subsided. Apart from being a little tired due to the high-intensity combat, there were basically no negative effects.
"Winning is winning, why don't you let people talk about it?" Shi Jianxia muttered and joined in the topic.
This game was not of great significance, but it could not contain the joy they felt for the victory.
Yuan Huai straightened his back and said, "After we have a good rest, we should go out for a meal. It's my treat!"
At that time, Xia Hejun and Xiao Yi agreed readily.
When the heir to a chaebol invites guests, they must go for a big feast.
As he was speaking, the chief instructor came to the stage and commented on the performance of each camp in this competition. Those who were praised were naturally filled with joy, while those who were criticized hung their heads and wished they could dig a hole in the ground and crawl into it on the spot.
But no matter whether it is praise or criticism, everyone gains something after a game.
In the 'I'm sure to take first place' camp, Xia Shuxing lowered his head, his eyes unfocused. Anyone could see that he was in a daze. When thinking about his defeat at the hands of Shi Jianxia's men, many people slowed down their breathing, fearing that he would lose control of his emotions.
Jin Ze, who was sitting next to him, didn't know what to say.
Xia Shuxing has had a smooth life since childhood and is a recognized genius. After entering school, he attracted the attention of most people as he wished. Later, Wen Qiuqiu emerged and was sought after by many people. He wanted to defeat Wen Qiuqiu and become the true number one in the combat department.
But this goal has not been achieved yet, and he has already been defeated by Shi Jianxia, who is studying Zerg anatomy. How can he not be depressed?
No matter who it is, it would be difficult to accept such a huge gap at first.
Jin Ze was racking his brains to think of how to comfort him, when Xia Shuxing suddenly raised his head and said in a calmer tone than ever before: "Jin Ze, I made the right decision to come to Nan Teng Military Academy."
Nan Teng Military Academy's performance in the league in recent years has been unsatisfactory, and the quality of its students has gradually declined, not as good as the other four major military academies. His family originally wanted to arrange for him to go to Ruoshui Military Academy, but he was not happy and insisted on coming to Nan Teng Military Academy, and even had a big fight with his father.
His goal is to participate in the next league. Naturally, his opponents will not be the rookie freshmen who entered school with him, but the best players in the previous league.
Now, Shi Jianxia gave him a fatal blow.
He is not as strong as he thought.
Xia Shuxing suddenly realized that he used to be like a frog in a well, looking at his peers with a narrow vision and unaware of the vastness of the world.
Jin Ze was stunned by his reaction, wondering if he was overstimulated and started talking nonsense.
Xia Shuxing didn't care whether he could understand or not. He looked at his empty palm, slowly bent his five fingers until they formed a fist, as if he was holding something very important.
-
After the chief instructor finished his speech, Shi Jianxia and the other two couldn't wait to slip out of the indoor training ground, preparing to have a meal and then go back to the dormitory to sleep.
Although nutrient solution can supplement the necessary nutrients and trace elements needed by the body, it cannot replace the satisfaction brought by delicious food.
While waiting for the meal to be served in the cafeteria, Yuan Huai asked curiously, "When did you two start practicing the triangle formation behind my back?"
He really knows nothing about tactics, but he has a good vision and can see how tricky the triangle formation is. Combined with Shi Jianxia's mimicry, he can be a master.
Jun Xiaoyi took a sip of juice and said, "During your evening class, they trained for about a week. Xia Xia's kids are very smart and very efficient."
The curriculum of the Martial Arts Department is very demanding. They study theoretical classes during the day and practical classes every night. Yuan Huai is often unable to complete the training with them in the Xuan Tower.
"I was wondering how your two training points increased so quickly? Turns out you came up with this great thing!" Yuan Huai exclaimed.
"By the way, how did you come up with this battle formation? The chief instructor was praising you to bits on the stage just now." Yuan Huai asked again.
Jun Xiaoyi didn't take credit for it. "I've told you before that my grandmother is a history enthusiast and has studied a lot of ancient civilizations. I saw this battle formation in an ancient book that she restored, and I thought it could be used in the competition. After making some minor changes, I discussed it with Xia Xia and tried to use her mimicry to see if it would work. Unexpectedly, the effect was surprisingly good."
Perhaps because he lived with his grandmother since he was a child, he also likes ancient civilizations, especially the culture of war.
Shi Jianxia nodded.
She didn't know much about formations, but she knew that in ancient times, marching and fighting required the deployment of troops. A good formation could quickly defeat the enemy and reduce one's own losses.
Jun Xiaoyi suggested using the cubs to experiment with battle formations, and she agreed decisively.
"So that's how it is." Su Jiuzhong came over and waved to the three of them with a smile, "Would it be convenient for us to share a table?"
He also brought Nan Chiqing with him.
Nan Chiqing greeted the three of them with a smile, and after they agreed, he sat next to Shi Jianxia.
Yuan Huai was a little reserved and obediently called out "senior" twice.
Nan Chiqing laughed and said, "I won't eat people, so just be as casual as you can."
As the student union president, she is usually serious and decisive in handling matters. People who don't know her well may find her difficult to get along with.
In addition, she is also the new chief of the combat department of Nan Teng Military Academy. She is extremely powerful. In the last league, she and Su Jiuzhong were known as the Nan Teng Twin Stars. The freshmen who just enrolled are inevitably a little restrained in front of her.
Yuan Huai uttered "oh" twice, and his shoulders relaxed slightly.
Then I saw Xia Hun, and it turned out that he could see all kinds of thighs!
Su Jiuzhong said, "We all saw your performance in the competition. It was very exciting and impressive. You will be the focus of attention of the other four major military academies."
This is definitely a very high evaluation.
Students who graduated from the five major military academies of the Federation are basically the future pillars of the Federation. The fact that their reputation can spread among these people is a recognition of their strength.
Yuan Huai looked at Jun Xiaoyi and Shi Jianxia excitedly. As for himself, he still had some self-awareness and just wanted to be a pendant.
Shi Jianxia said shyly: "It's all because of Xiao Yi's ability."
Jun Xiaoyi said shyly, "Xia Xia was the one who took us flying."
Nan Chiqing couldn't stand the commercial boasting and glanced at them. "I'm not going to waste my time on this nonsense. I came here to invite the three of you to join the student union."
The three of them looked at each other.
It’s true, none of them has ever paid attention to anything related to the Student Union.
Shi Jianxia was thinking about how to make insect crystals all day long. After the anonymous trading fair, he had to worry about his identity as a high-level traitor. How could he have the time to deal with these things?
Apart from studying, Jun Xiaoyi basically stays in the Xuan Tower. No one knows what he does exactly, but his task points are skyrocketing, even higher than Shi Jianxia's.
As for Yuan Huai, the courses in the martial arts major were very heavy. He was dizzy from studying every day. He had to squeeze out time to eat with Shi Jianxia and the others. How could he have time to care about these things?
Nan Chiqing had a look of 'as expected' on his face.
"The student unions of the five major military academies in the Federation are different from those of ordinary schools. Although they oversee many things, their primary function is to train cadets participating in the league. Through a series of training matches, they interact with cadets from other academies, helping them adapt to the rhythm of various competitions more quickly and achieve good results in the league."
She elaborated on a series of advantages of joining the student union and successfully brought the three people under her command.
After a simple meal, Shi Jianxia said goodbye to his friends and returned to the dormitory.
In fact, with their physical fitness, not sleeping for two or three days is nothing, but after a game, the energy consumed is far more than usual, and only sleep can help them adjust their mental fatigue.
Shi Jianxia took a shower while yawning. When he came out of the bathroom, Xixi and the nine-tailed fox were squatting on the open pages of "Classic of Mountains and Seas" on the left and right, facing each other, scratching at each other with their four furry paws, and it was unclear whether they were playing or fighting.
She walked over, picked up a little kid in each hand, and threw it onto the bed with two clatters.
朏朏 rolled around on the bed and its head fell into the quilt. The nine-tailed fox relied on its many tails to barely maintain its balance and only fell down and bit the quilt.
The Zhulong, as thick as a chopstick, poked its head out of the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", glanced at Shi Jianxia, and then shrank back.
At this time, the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" happened to be open to the introduction page of Zhulong.
[Double-Sided Mimicry Name: Zhulong (Strange Beast/God of Zhongshan)]
[Mimicry Level: C-level (0/10 C-level vortex required for upgrade)]
[Mimetic Potential: Can be upgraded to 3S level]
[Mimicry Talent: Candle Dragon Time]
[Talent Introduction: Zhulong can control the change of day and night and the changing of seasons in a designated area. The owner of the mimicry can obtain double the combat power bonus of the current state. Living and non-living things in the area will be affected by 10% of the current state of the eclipse/solar eclipse effect. The talent lasts for 2 hours and has a cooldown of 230 hours (cooling down).
Active - Divine Puppet Candle Dragon: Candle Dragon can obtain the same combat power as the current state of the mimic owner, lasting for 2 hours, and the reserve quantity is 1/1 (active cooldown time: 230 hours)
[Battle Level: Level 2 (Level 2 Insect Crystals 103/10000 required for upgrade)]
[Fusion Combat Bonus: Increases the Mimic's physical function by 200% and grants the appearance of a Candle Dragon Robe x 1 (cannot be removed during fusion combat)
Active - World Destruction: At the same Mimic/Zerg rating, a single target within the designated area that is one level higher than the Mimic's combat level has a 100% chance of being killed, and the Mimic's owner will lose 50% of their current health (Active cooldown: 230 hours)
Zhulong, Chenghuang and other cubs were awakened in the same batch, but they could never be summoned until the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" was successfully upgraded before the new camp game, and its page was updated again.
At that time, Shi Jianxia learned that Zhulong had two forms. One form was a strange beast that could be summoned from the strange beast chapter, and the other half-human, half-beast form was in the mythology chapter and could appear in the form of a divine puppet.
Zhulong's mimicry talent is also quite complex. One of her active abilities, [World Destruction], can challenge opponents of higher levels, but it can only be used when she is in a fused combat state with Zhulong, which is the method she finally used to deal with Xia Shuxing.
Shi Jianxia gently tapped the illustration of Zhulong in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", closed it and took back the source of spiritual power.
The principal promised that the winning camp in the freshman camp competition can choose a weapon from the weapon treasury, but the specific selection time has not been announced yet, and it is not known whether there will be star cores in it.
Shi Jianxia sat down on the bed thoughtfully, yawned, pulled the quilt over him and lay down to sleep.
Xixi and the nine-tailed fox crawled into the quilt and poked their little heads out from the edge, then quickly retracted them, leaving two small bulges in the quilt.
When she was half asleep, Shi Jianxia vaguely felt that someone opened the dormitory door. This thought circled in her half-awake mind, and she opened her eyes alertly in an instant.
Outside the bed curtain, a shadow was walking in quietly.
Shi Jianxia's heart moved, and he decisively lifted the curtain, and happened to meet Wen Qiuqiu's gaze.
It's been almost a month since I last saw her, and Wen Qiuqiu is still the same as before, with long, smooth, black, straight hair, bangs that almost cover her eyes, and skin that is too white.
After a brief silence, Shi Jianxia took the lead and said, "You're back? Are you okay?"
She didn't rashly bring up topics that shouldn't be mentioned.
Wen Qiuqiu nodded, raised her finger to point at her own intelligent brain, raised her index finger and shook it.
It is obvious that her intelligent computer was given to her by the Zerg Investigation Bureau, and she is most likely still under surveillance.
"Sorry for making you worry." Wen Qiuqiu said softly.
"How is your brother?" Shi Jianxia asked.
Wen Qiuqiu's eyes lit up, and she immediately said, "The Zerg Investigation Office found the best doctor for him, and he's now receiving treatment in the hospital."
She originally had a very happy family. Even though her family was not wealthy, her parents loved her and her younger brother very much, and they lived a very warm life.
The sudden appearance of the Zerg made her an orphan, and her only surviving brother was half brain dead, and she didn't know when he would leave her completely.
Wen Qiuqiu felt resentful and cried, but it was all in vain. In her confusion and unwillingness, she learned to be calm and to save herself.
"I'm glad you're okay." Shi Jianxia smiled.
The two talked about some unimportant things, and then Shi Jianxia left Nandong Military Academy and went to the dormitory in the community assigned to her by Nixie.
After the freshman camp game, there happened to be two days of vacation.
I haven't seen Number Nine for a long time, and I don't know if he has caused any trouble.
Just as Xia Jian had this thought, the smart computer suddenly rang. It was the children's smart computer she had left for No. 9.
She clicked the call, and the person who appeared in front of the virtual screen was not Number Nine, but a young woman with a decent smile and wearing restaurant work clothes.
The woman smiled with her perfect eight teeth and spoke softly, "Hello, are you Ms. Shi Jianxia? Your... friend spent 96,327 star coins in our restaurant."
The virtual screen camera turned, and No. 9, who was wearing black casual clothes, was sitting with his legs crossed and looking at the camera with an unhappy expression. Beside him stood a group of big men in black clothes, who looked like they were afraid that he would eat a free meal and run away. They all looked ferocious.
Shi Jianxia: "...How much?"
"Thank you. 96,327 star coins." The young woman answered patiently.
Shi Jianxia said expressionlessly: "Who is this person? I don't know him."
Young woman: “…”
Number Nine sneered and said, "Hei Xiaoqi, if you don't come to redeem me, I won't be polite."
Shi Jianxia: "..."
Who taught this idiot to call her that?
Half an hour later, Shi Jianxia was paying the bill while clenching his fists.
She did not hide the murderous intent in her eyes. The smile on the young woman's face paused for a moment, but her professional ethics still allowed her to maintain the necessary elegance and propriety, and she greeted the customers in a soft voice.
But before she could say anything, she was shocked by Shi Jianxia's actions.
Shi Jianxia, whose wallet was half emptied, didn't tolerate the prodigal son behind him at all. He turned around and punched No. 9 in the pretty and delicate face, making him stagger and almost fall on his butt.
The people around looked at him in shock. Shi Jianxia waved his hands and smiled, "Excuse me, excuse me, my little one is disobedient and needs to be taught a lesson."
Number Nine was furious: "Seven—"
"Bai Xiaojiu, do you want to wash dishes here to pay off your debt?" Shi Jianxia interrupted Number Nine with a fake smile, then added to Number Nine's wide-eyed expression, "If you want, I can help you do it right now."
He is really capable. He was able to sneak out of her house even though his mental strength has not recovered. He ate and drank to his heart's content here and spent nearly 100,000 star coins on her in one go!
Spendthrift! Money-losing bastard! Get off me, you piece of shit number nine!
