Chapter 229: Small Vacation

After hearing from the instructor that the wood energy cluster contained in the mutant tree of Mufei Star was not a secret, but that such mutant trees were extremely rare outside the forest, Maidong was speechless.

The instructor said that she was very lucky to encounter a mutant tree rich in wood energy clusters when she entered the forest. Maidong did not explain that she found this special mutant tree by sheer luck.

She first "saw" the mutant tree with her mental power, and then discovered that there was an energy ball on the trunk of the mutant tree, and then she led everyone here. Otherwise, according to the original trajectory, they would definitely miss this tree.

But it was also true that she was lucky. After only one hour in the forest of Mufei Star, she got an opportunity and her wood-related abilities were upgraded to a higher level.

This gave Mai Dong an illusion that the location chosen by Imperial Capital University for this training camp seemed to be chosen specifically for her.

Not only did her wood ability reach the late fourth level, but it also raised Zhuang Huiya's wood ability to a higher level.

If Mai Dong relied on self-cultivation alone, it would take at least three or four years to reach this level.

After her wood-related abilities were enhanced, Mai Dong had a deeper "perception" of the trees in this forest, allowing her to easily distinguish which mutated trees were safe and which were dangerous.

There is no elimination system in this wilderness survival training, nor are there any tasks or goals. There is only one requirement: all students must survive in the forest of Jupiter for one month.

After being rescued from a life-threatening situation, every student has to return to his or her team after recovering from the injuries and continue training.

When they finally emerged from the forest, they looked almost like savages.

Being in a harsh environment is undoubtedly the most challenging. Everyone's cultivation has been enhanced to some extent, especially those with wood abilities, whose cultivation has been greatly enhanced.

Mai Dong never found a mutant tree with wood energy balls again. In order to upgrade her wood ability to the early stage of level 10, she avoided other energies when she could use wood ability in the forest. In addition, the abundant wood energy in the forest was very helpful for the cultivation of wood ability. A few days ago, her wood ability was finally upgraded to the early stage of level 10.

Zhuang Huiya also followed his cousin's example. I don't know if it was because he worked hard enough or his potential for cultivating wood-type abilities was relatively low. His wood-type abilities were still stuck at the late stage of level 2. However, it was also a great success at the late stage. If he worked hard to cultivate, he should be able to advance to level 3 soon.

After returning to school, the campus team competition continued.

This time, the Phantom Team did not advance to the quarterfinals like last year, but made it to the final and won the championship of the tournament.

According to last year's schedule, after the group competition, there was a big exam, and then a four-month long vacation.

But after they finished their final exams, the school suddenly announced that this year's holiday would be a one-month vacation, and everyone had to return to school early to participate in special training.

This news certainly caused dissatisfaction among the students, but the order was not issued only by the Imperial University, but by schools throughout the Blue and Black Empire. More importantly, the supervisory agency did not accept the students' complaints, and everyone had to accept the order.

Neither Mai Dong nor Mai Xuan mentioned this incident in the novels they read. After all, the main content of the novels was after the world crisis, and the premise was not described in such detail.

"The school has had a four-month holiday every academic year for hundreds of years, but it suddenly changed this year. The higher-ups must have known about the global crisis, so they wanted to confine the students to school. This can reduce the occurrence of danger and allow them to train more and improve their combat effectiveness as much as possible," said Mai Wanxuan.

Mai Dong agreed with Mai Xuan's speculation. After all, the change was to the schools of the entire Blue and Black Empire, while Wang was only in the Imperial Capital Star.

It was considered an extended vacation, and Mai Dong estimated that Admiral Su would let her go to the Third Army Group for training this year.

Although Admiral Su did not say their current situation, Mai Dong could analyze from some information that the army has now entered an emergency state of preparation for war.

As a result, the school just announced a one-month holiday that day, and that evening Mai Dong received a notice that he was undergoing special talent training.

During this month's holiday, a ninth-level cultivator will provide special training to the special talent training center, and all members of the special talent training center must arrive at the training center on time.

That night, Zhuang Huiya also received a training notice from the National Special Training Camp, which surprised him beyond words.

Originally, this special training camp was looking for young talents with S-level cultivation potential, but Zhuang Huiya's cultivation potential was only 3A.

The message Zhuang Huiya received said that although his cultivation potential did not meet the standard, his cultivation speed was almost comparable to that of an S-level practitioner. After investigation, the instructors of the special training camp felt that his conditions barely met the standard, so he was also notified to participate in the training.

"Wang Liming recommended me. He said it's worth a try." Zhuang Huiya happily told her cousin the news, and then happily sent a message to Wang Liming.

Mai Dong had to stay in the special talent training center for this month, so he went to Zhuang Huiya to take care of him. However, with Zhuang Huiya's current cultivation level, if he practiced on his own, the speed of improvement would be very slow.

She was thinking about finding a coach for him, but then she received the good news and let Mai Dong come.

Zhuang Huiya was able to enter the special training camp, which not only improved his cultivation, but also further expanded his interpersonal relationships.

Mai Xuan also received information that special talents were being trained.

After his cultivation potential rose to double S, Mai Dong, as a recommender, submitted an application for him to join the special talent training center, and one day he was approved.

Therefore, after the holiday, the siblings and Lin Qingzhou took a bus to the special talent training center together.

Here Mai Dong met Ye Zhengyan and Booker whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

After a year of seeing each other, both of them had reached the late sixth level.

"This is your cousin. He looks a bit like you. In fact, he is your biological brother, especially in terms of his evilness." Ye Zhengyan said.

The brother and sister laughed and talked. In the past year, they found that they might be strangers. They looked more and more like their previous lives, and the appearance of the brother and sister in the previous life was at least 60% similar.

By the evening, a total of 24 people had arrived at the special talent training center. These people were young geniuses with double S cultivation from all over the Blue and Black Empire.

Some of them had received the training notice more than a month ago and had come to the Imperial Capital Star early. It was said that several people were on the way and would not arrive here until tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.
