Jiangnan Base City, in the main urban area.
One of the areas covers an area of more than 5,000 acres and is surrounded by high walls. From a distance, the entire area is shrouded in fog.
This place is different from most places in the base city. It is not crowded at all. There are tall trees as thick as a person's waist planted on the roadside, and occasionally you can catch a glimpse of some strange-looking plants, which are obviously not Blue Star species.
The playground is wide, the training ground is majestic, and all kinds of training equipment can be seen here.
"This is the training camp in Jiangnan Base City."
"Basic training camp."
After the establishment of the Blue Star Alliance, major base cities also established training camps one after another. Different from the Xinhuo Training Camps with increasingly higher standards today, they were the Xinhuo Elite Training Camps.
This training camp is only aimed at ordinary people, and the more outstanding talents among ordinary people.
They are selected from various high schools and universities, and some are self-taught people in society.
After they graduate, some of them will enter the Investigation Bureau and other departments for further training before taking up their posts; or they can choose to join the Hunter Association; or they can join the garrison corps of major base cities; and some can enter the Xinhuo Training Camp for further study.
...
...
This depends not only on the students' own performance, but also on their own intentions.
The first basic training camp has not yet begun, but Chi Honghao has foreseen that it will not be long before all parties will compete for talents.
Um,
As a member of the Xinhuo group and the chief examiner of the basic training camp, he naturally shoulders the responsibility of supplying talents to his own training camp. At the same time, he also has two precious recommendation places.
They can go directly to the elite training camp, obtain a "Class B training contract", enjoy super high welfare benefits, and occasionally receive personal guidance from powerful people such as the chief instructor, the Split Fist Martial Saint, the Scarlet Witch, etc.
Some time ago, this quota was extremely valuable. Moreover, after the establishment of the Blue Star Alliance, the admission standards for the elite training camp have been raised again and again, and all countries are competing for it.
If word gets out that he has two places, many wealthy and powerful people in Jiangnan Base City will spend a fortune to buy them.
but……
Of course this is impossible.
Chi Honghao was able to meet the requirements and serve as the chief examiner not only because of his excellent academic performance, solid foundation and teaching experience, but also because of his high moral integrity and fairness.
What's more, he can't give these two places at will, and the recommended students must be excellent enough.
If he fails to meet the requirements and the recommendation is rejected, he will be embarrassed.
"Just barely meeting the requirements? That's not enough!"
"If you are going to recommend someone, recommend a true genius. Otherwise, I'd rather these two spots go to waste."
Chi Honghao pondered and walked into this basic training camp.
This was also his first time here, and he was treated by an official here to a tour of the entire training camp.
"What do you think, Instructor Chi?"
"Yes, all kinds of facilities are very complete." Chi Honghao paused and asked, "The first batch of students will arrive tomorrow, right?"
Speaking of this, Chi Honghao also missed the time when he was still a newbie.
He was the 25th batch of students in the Xinhuo Training Camp. At that time, there was no concept of elite training camps. He also trained, studied, and became stronger at the base in Shuize City.
Together with many other newbies.
As pure newcomers at that time, they made a lot of jokes. It seemed as if their entire world view was reshaped when they first arrived at the Shuize Base City. Afterwards, under the training of the instructor at that time, Chi Honghao entered the state of "training to death as long as he doesn't die."
In this process, some people fell behind, while some geniuses made a splash.
Chi Honghao is not a genius.
He still remembered that Wang Wu, Lin Daozhi, and foreign geniuses such as Xi Bei'er and Yue Qi Mai Xiang were able to improve from zero to meet the standard of one sleep in just a few days.
He soon won the qualification for membership through internal competition.
Now, each of these geniuses of the same period is at an inhuman level. Many of them, like the Mingdeng Mage, form teams to explore deep into the strange world (shallow layer), or go deep into the gray fog area to hunt and eliminate difficult strange evil spirits.
The future is promising.
In comparison, Chi Honghao himself was much worse. He was mediocre among his peers. It took him more than half a month to get a place for awakening, and he competed three times before he was successfully admitted.
He has been working diligently because he is really ordinary and there are experts taller than him everywhere.
However, in the eyes of many people, Chi Honghao is already a great master, and has earned the reputation of "Flame Swordsman" in the outside world. This is his signature killer move. He starts with the North Wind Swordsmanship and cooperates with his own flame attachment ability. He once slashed out a flaming sword beam dozens of meters long, and his record is also glorious.
This time, in the Jiangnan training camp, he serves as the chief examiner, the highest position with the power to eliminate people. He also serves as the guiding instructor, responsible for adjusting the training plan at a macro level.
…
…
The next day,
In Jiangnan Base City, at the gate of the basic training camp, buses drove in one after another. The fog that shrouded the eyes of the newbies suddenly became clear the moment they drove in. A road led straight into the depths. On both sides, sturdy trees and small buildings could be seen, and there were towering stadiums standing in the distance.
"Is this our destination, the basic training camp?"
On the bus, the high school students were all nervous.
One of the buses carried students from Baijiang No. 1 Middle School, Ancheng No. 1 Middle School, Yunhua Affiliated Middle School, Pingcheng No. 1 Middle School, and Xingyuan High School.
Among them was Xu Feng, a student from the elite class of senior high school's military department.
He was actually a little confused.
A few days ago, Mr. Chen in the physical education class told him mysteriously about the legend of the "Basic Training Camp". Then, he was successfully selected into the elite class. However, before he started his training life in the elite class, the elite class teacher told him that in view of his excellent performance in the previous assessment, he had obtained a preliminary examination quota for the basic training camp.
Xu Feng was half confused and half excited. He took his luggage, boarded the bus, and went all the way from the third satellite city to the main urban area, to this training ground shrouded in misty white fog, which seemed particularly mysterious.
The majority of students were as confused as he was and had almost no knowledge of the training camp.
However, there are also those who have extraordinary family backgrounds and we know about it in advance.
Next to him, a young man wearing the uniform of Xingyuan High School and a valuable watch on his wrist was looking at the strange trees on both sides, his brows full of expectation and confidence.
"This pre-examination quota is very rare. Some wealthy families want to spend a lot of money to buy it but cannot. Of course, this is also because their price is not high enough and their channels are not wide enough."
The young man told some news from the upper class circle. Seeing that everyone was amazed, he became more excited and continued without thinking,
"It's not difficult for the truly wealthy and powerful to get a place in the exam. Whether it's starting from the school or finding connections, it can be done. There are many ways to do it."
"It's even possible to squeeze in a 'special recruit' who can enter the basic training camp without taking the test."
He knew of several "specially recruited students".
His family could even get him a place to enter without taking an exam, but he just didn't want it and he was disdainful.
"This is a training camp, a place for training and becoming stronger. It would be a waste to force incompetent mediocre people in here. As for those who spend money to find ways to buy a place in the test, that's even more stupid."
"Those who are selected normally may not be able to pass the examiner's test and stay, let alone those who buy the quota through the backdoor. Ha, wait and see how these people are eliminated in minutes."
As expected, there is another test.
Upon hearing this, Xu Feng couldn't help but recall what the elite class teacher said when the list was announced yesterday.
"Those who have been selected in the first round of examinations may not necessarily be able to stay in the training camp. Those who were not selected this time do not need to feel disappointed. You can compete for the second and third rounds. Your future is full of infinite possibilities."
Xu Feng was still in deep thought when someone next to him looked at the young man from a wealthy family and asked, "Classmate, do you know what the test is about?"
The young man shook his head. "The content of the test was determined by the chief examiner and the other nine examiners. I don't know the specific content before it is announced, but..."
The corners of his mouth slightly raised, "No matter what the test is, I, Mo Zian, will definitely pass it, and with the first place!"
As we were talking, the bus had already arrived at its destination.
Under the direction of a teacher accompanying the team, the excited, inspired and nervous new students got off the bus one by one. They looked around and talked in low voices.
"While there is still some time, you should hurry up and adjust your condition. Once everyone is gathered, the training camp assessment may begin at any time."
The teacher from Anjo First Middle School spoke up.
He was the only teacher accompanying Xu Feng on the bus. As for the martial arts teacher of Baijiang No. 1 Middle School? He did not come along. After all, a high school usually only has a few dozen vacancies.
There were only six people from Baijiang No. 1 Middle School who came this time, and it was even more embarrassing for Xu Feng, who was in his senior year, to be the only one there.
However, at this time, looking around Xu Feng found that there were quite a few people coming here, probably hundreds or even thousands of people.
With so many people, how many can stay here?
Xu Feng thought to himself,
'No matter what, I must pass the test and stay.'
"As long as I can continue my studies at the training camp, my family won't have to bear all the training expenses."
He clenched his fists, his conviction firm.
Soon, a group of people entered the magnificent gymnasium in an orderly manner under the guidance of the staff. Some people were so excited that they danced. However, the training camp instructor's words, "The assessment has begun now. Those who do not obey the command will have their evaluation points deducted," made those curious and sociable people all behave themselves.
They are lined up like ducks being herded.
soon,
“Here it comes!”
"The ten examiners who will be conducting our entrance test are here!"
"I heard that these examiners are all top-notch experts, including elite soldiers from the military and cadres from the Investigation Bureau. They all have made great military achievements. They will also serve as our instructors. However, these experts will not stay in the training camp all the time. They will only arrange the training plan at a macro level and give us lessons occasionally."
"However, if you are lucky, it is possible that these strong men will notice you and give you some private instruction."
At this point, the boys and girls who knew a little about the basic training camp could hardly contain their excitement.
Xu Feng just listened and didn't say anything.
But looking at the ten examiners who appeared on the podium one after another, his eyes were full of longing.
There were ten examiners, six men and four women. Some were as strong as a bear, while others were tall and thin like a pole. It didn't look like many of them were strong.
But of course no one underestimates it, not to mention...
"The tall and thin guy, known as Ghost Hand Wang Wu, is said to have been a well-known strongman among the evil hunters. Later, he joined the special operations team and went deep into the gray fog area many times, and won great merits."
"I know that beautiful instructor. I've seen her interview on TV. She comes from a martial arts family called the Chen family."
"What about the one in the middle? That one is the chief examiner. Logically, he should be the strongest among the ten examiners, right?"
"You guessed it right. The chief examiner is said to be from a mysterious department. He must have made great achievements in battle. He once held a flaming sword and fought from the southern end of the evil wave to the northern end without blinking an eye. Don't disbelieve it. Our chief examiner is also a 'titled strongman', and his title in the martial arts world is 'the flaming swordsman'."
"hiss--"
Most students actually didn’t understand much, but they could tell it was very impressive.
I couldn't help but exclaim.
On the high platform, ten examiners were also looking at these newbies, observing their mental state.
"Everyone looks quite happy."
"After all, it's a rare opportunity to come here. I can understand that."
"Hehe, I'm looking forward to seeing these newbies crying bitterly later."
"What a bad taste this is, examiner Luo."
"Lao Luo is seeking revenge. Looking back, this guy made a fool of himself in the selection test. At that time, he was... wuwuwu."
"It hasn't been that long since then, but when I see these cute newbies, I suddenly feel like I've aged. No, no, this must be an illusion. I'm still 18 years old and youthful and beautiful!"
The chief examiner Chi Honghao spoke a few words on the stage, briefly explaining the situation of the basic training camp. Well, the few words he said were really just a few sentences.
It was so brief and sparse that many teachers who came with the team wanted to listen carefully and learn more about the training camp.
"Okay, that's the end of my speech."
This, is this all?
Shouldn't it take half an hour to finish three sentences? How come it's less than three minutes? We don't mind if you talk more. We want to hear it!
These teachers could only complain in their hearts. As the chief examiner finished his speech, the entrance test for new students officially began.
Ten examiners walked down the platform and pointed to the playground in front of them, the track that circled the huge training ground, and said:
"Your assessment is very simple. Just run around this playground three times."
Three laps.
This playground is much wider than the standard school playground. The track specification is one lap is one thousand meters, but even so, three laps is only three thousand meters.
Only three thousand meters, that’s it, that’s it?
"Running three laps, that's all you need to have legs."
"I didn't expect the training camp test to be so simple. It looks like it's just a formality."
"That's right. We have already gone through a round of selection at school. Now we are running three laps just to see our spirit."
Some are happy, some are disappointed.
The confident young man was very disappointed. "How can such a simple assessment highlight my level, Mo Zian? Damn it. I can only show my extraordinary ability after I officially enter the training camp."
The examiners couldn't help but smile as they looked at these confident newbies.
A malicious smile.
"How naive."
"Hahaha, only newbies would be so naive. Today I'll teach them their first lesson: never be careless or complacent at any time."
The innocent little freshmen stepped onto the wide track. Following a command from a staff member nearby, batch after batch of freshmen students started running.
Immediately, dozens of people left the main force behind and ran away at great speed.
After all, it's just three laps, three thousand meters, there's no need to conserve too much energy, just run.
Since the entrance test is so simple, I'll just try to get a top score.
Many young boys and girls think so.
However, he unconsciously overlooked a key factor, which is... the examiner only said to run three laps, but did not mention the time limit.
How could there be no time limit for the assessment?
Did I forget, or...
Xu Feng thought subconsciously, and he ran forward with the surging crowd, keeping his position in the middle. His eyes also glanced forward from time to time, at the first echelon that was ahead of most people.
Wait, they seem to be slowing down?
They had only been running for a short time, less than half a lap. Logically, everyone still had plenty of energy. Even if some people wanted to save their strength, it was impossible for everyone to slow down. It was as if they suddenly realized something.
Xu Feng didn't understand at first, but as he was running and crossing a certain line, he felt his body sink, as if his hands and feet were tied with weighted sandbags. It wasn't very heavy, but it consumed a little more energy. However, it was still easy to run three laps at this speed.
but,
My body suddenly felt heavy when I ran half a lap.
So, will it continue to be heavy, or will there be other changes?
Xu Feng thinks so! Most likely!
Sure enough, the camp entrance test was not that simple. Running 3,000 meters was not difficult, but to overcome numerous obstacles and complete 3,000 meters, that... was definitely not easy.
It was precisely because of this realization that the young boy and girl, who had been walking very fast at the beginning, slowed down gradually in order to conserve more energy.
Be amazed at the mysterious power acting upon you.
It is not easy to take the assessment seriously. It would be funny if you fail to pass the assessment due to some mistakes.
The first group, the group with the best physical fitness, changed their expressions slightly and gradually became serious. When the other newbies realized this, their expressions also changed. For a moment, the whole playground became much quieter, with only the sound of the newbies panting as they ran.
And the complexion changes again.
'That special heaviness is coming back!'
"No, I have to slow down and adjust my breathing, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to finish three laps."
"Damn it, the training camp assessment is really difficult."
The newbies had a lot of thoughts in their minds and gradually widened the gap between them.
Xu Feng did not slow down too much, so he gradually left the main group behind and maintained his position in the third echelon.
When I ran one and a half laps, changes occurred again.
This time, it wasn't that his body continued to feel heavy, but that he suddenly felt dazed. There seemed to be a sea of blood and corpses in front of him, and terrible roars ringing in his ears, as if... as if he was facing an evil spirit.
There were waves of pain in my head, and my hands and feet seemed to be out of control.
“Plop——”
There was a girl in the third echelon who tripped and lost her balance and fell forward, rolling on her face. Two newbies who were near her were also affected and fell to the ground with a thud.
Some staff took action to avoid a stampede.
The assessment is still ongoing.
Many newbies fell down and got up again, their eyes were a little red, their chests beating violently like bellows. At this time, their minds were no longer filled with complicated thoughts, and they felt drowsy and were supported only by a strong will. Some of them could not hold on any longer and changed from running to walking, from walking to sitting, or even walked out of the runway and lay down directly.
The only thing Xu Feng had in mind was to keep running forward.
The mysterious power was still growing stronger, and the body was getting heavier, as if filled with lead. Shadows appeared in front of him, as if a terrible monster was trying to climb up his body.
But you still have to run! You must pass the assessment to enter the training camp.
This is the hope of becoming an awakened one!
I don’t know how long it took, but it was like a fish jumping out of the water. The heavy shackles on my body were suddenly removed, and the terrible roar in my ears gradually faded away.
Only the figures of the staff became clear in front of him.
"Young man, you completed the entire race and passed the test."
Xu Feng was stunned.
He realized that he had already finished three laps and was in a very front position. Well, he found that there were less than ten people in front of him. He was in the top ten, and the rich boy Mo Zian who was in the same car with him was among them.
Mo Zian was also a little surprised, he walked over and patted him on the shoulder and said,
"Oh, that's good, brother. You have a bright future, although you are still far behind me who got first place."
Xu Feng showed surprise and admiration on his face.
Mo Zian arrived at the finish line much earlier than himself, and it seemed that he had not reached his limit yet. His strength was indeed beyond his reach.
“That’s amazing.”
He was sincerely impressed.
Mo Zian raised a smile, but still waved his hand and said, "It's just the first place in the basic training camp assessment, and it's only in the Jiangnan base city area, this is nothing."
"To be honest with you, this basic training camp is just a stepping stone for me. My goal is the Xinhuo training camp, the legendary elite training camp!"
"Moreover, I, Mo Zian, am destined to have my name recorded on the elite training camp ranking tablet! I will stand above the sky!"
"I will start from the basic training camp and leave a legend behind."
He has broad knowledge and his own level is extraordinary.
Those newbies who finished running three laps were full of admiration and some came forward to compliment them.
Time passes,
Gradually, more and more newbies finished running three laps, but they still only accounted for a minority of the examinees. Most of them could not run even a step and fell down halfway.
Until the examiner announces the end of the test.
Chief examiner Chi Honghao walked onto the stage and snorted coldly:
"You are the worst class of students I have ever seen. Don't be dissatisfied. Look at how many of you have completed three laps. According to my standards, anyone who can't complete three laps will fail!"
After he finished speaking, the other examiner played the good cop.
It was announced that several hundred people who performed well during the test had barely passed and were able to remain in the training camp.
Chi Honghao walked towards the group of outstanding newbies who had finished running three laps.
Seeing the chief examiner approaching, Mo Zian's mouth slightly raised, and he whispered,
"Although most people can't finish three laps, I think our performance will satisfy the examiner. Just like this year's average level is not good, there will be outstanding individuals."
He looked forward to the praise from the powerful chief examiner.
However, the chief examiner shook his head.
"Your performance is also... very ordinary. None of you impressed me."
"Don't be dissatisfied. I have seen geniuses who can practice swordsmanship to the proficient level in just one day, monsters who can double their physical fitness in just a few days, and fierce men with a sharp will who can cut through iron... In comparison, you are nothing but ordinary!"
"With your level, even if a few of you can enter the elite training camp, you will just be passers-by who are indistinguishable from the crowd."
After saying that, Chi Honghao shook his head and walked away.
Only a faint voice could be heard from a distance. It was this person chatting with other examiners, and his voice also revealed disappointment.
"Sure enough, I shouldn't have expected that."
"Boss Chi, your requirements are too high. These newbies definitely cannot compare with those monsters..."
"Those monsters are also very perverted in their newbie stage."
"Don't even think about the monster level, just work on discovering a few second-rate geniuses."
