"Origin."
Facing the guard’s inquiry, Li Zheng imdiately said:
"We are the first batch of graduates from the Snow Valley Training Camp, delayed here due to special reasons."
Upon hearing this, the crystal stone face of the guard flickered with a series of glimrs, then nodded:
"Your situation has been recorded. Before entering the second-phase training camp, we need to thoroughly examine your physical condition. Follow ."
With that, the guard turned and walked into the city, and Li Zheng and the others imdiately followed.
They completely understood the need for a physical examination.
During this journey, they would encounter the Soul Beasts released by the Soul Returning Clan, whose characteristic is that they can perfectly inherit all the abilities of the devoured, including mories.
If used as spies, they could easily infiltrate the Reverse Tide Army.
Therefore, the check was also to clarify whether they were students or possessed Soul Beasts.
Following into the city, a rich sense of history greeted them. The buildings here were constructed of stone, with many showing signs of weathering, appearing old and ancient.
The ground was paved with heavy bluestone slabs, and they followed the guard into a uniquely styled towering building.
The hall’s floor was covered with spiritual patterns.
Along the way, the guard had already introduced the process of the physical examination, and all they needed to do next was follow the guard’s instructions.
After the inspection was completed, Li Zheng and the others were led by the guard to a vacant room, where they were arranged to stay. The guard would contact the instructors of the second-phase training camp to connect with them next.
An hour later, while waiting in the room, Li Zheng and the others t the chief instructor of the second-phase training camp.
Upon entering, the chief instructor slapped his hand on the door, startling Li Zheng and the others.
Turning to look, they found a nearly two-ter-tall man standing at the door, half-naked, with a physique as robust as a tower. His shoulders were broad, and his bulged chest muscles resembled two hard rocks, gently rising and falling with each deep breath.
Surging Qi-blood flowed within him, producing a sound akin to waves crashing.
Li Zheng and the Liver Emperor Group players could even clearly sense the Qi-blood fluctuations emanating from him.
"Let introduce myself, I’m Yan Sha, the Chief Combat Instructor of Gale Castle in the second-phase training camp." Yan Sha’s gaze swept over Li Zheng and the others as he introduced himself coldly.
Hearing this, Li Zheng and the others stood up, saluting with the Reverse Tide Army salute.
As their gaze focused, their analysis ability activated, and Yan Sha’s relevant information appeared in their minds.
[Yan Sha]:
Hunting Level: 105
Target Analysis: An outstanding warrior of the Vajra Clan, Thorn Level Warrior of the Reverse Tide Army, currently serving in the Gale Castle Training Camp of the Reverse Tide Army, responsible for training new generation reserve students of various clans.
...
Through the analysis introduction, it was discovered that Yan Sha and Kuang Sha were both Thorn Level Warriors of the Reverse Tide Army.
After a brief exchange and completing identity registration.
Yan Sha’s gaze swept over Li Zheng and the others, speaking solemnly:
"Starting tomorrow, you will officially join the second-phase training camp, but I can make it clear to you, every missed training program must be made up, be prepared for rigorous training."
"Instructor, can we freely explore the training camp now?" Li Zheng inquired at this ti.
"All ti outside training hours is free, you may go to any area outside the canteen."
Without waiting for Li Zheng’s response, Yan Sha turned and left.
...
Nightfall.
After a day of high-intensity training, Ghost Pupil was eating heartily in the canteen.
Sitting around the sa table with him were the brothers from the Snow Valley Training Camp.
During the al, Ghost Pupil instinctively glanced at a tall and burly figure in the distance, and the other seed to sense it, raising his head and baring a fierce grin at him.
The other was a student from the Dragon Valley First Training Camp and was recognized as the strongest student in their second-phase training camp, "Gale Castle," dominating Ghost Pupil throughout the training, holding an superior strength pedestal in this phase.
"If only those bastards were here, to continue the grueling hunger endurance training with them, even if defeated, we could let off so steam." A student from the Bronze Clan lanted in a low voice at this mont.
Upon hearing this, the eyes of the students from the Snow Valley Training Camp turned somber.
At that ti, if the Player Clan students hadn’t stood up and chose to sacrifice themselves to cover their retreat, they would never have made it here.
"After the al, let’s visit the cetery." Ghost Pupil said as he continued to eat heartily.
Hearing this, the remaining students also accelerated their eating pace.
Once dinner ended, the students from the Snow Valley Training Camp followed Ghost Pupil toward the cetery area on the east side of the training camp.
Entering the area, countless tombstones stood erect.
Each tombstone was a ceremonial grave, lacking any buried remains, most were students who had died in battle on their way to the second-phase training camp, but not all of the deceased students qualified for entry here.
Each student morialized in the cetery had sacrificed themselves for other students.
To honor these brave and fearless young reserve warriors, the second-phase training camp established this cetery.
Over the long years of developnt, the cetery continued to expand.
Under the starlight, they followed the moss-covered path to the end, arriving before a row of tombstones.
Each tombstone bore a na.
Masonry, Chi Tu, Shared Family, Killing Heart...
Ghost Pupil stepped forward, crouching before Li Zheng’s tombstone, placing a piece of energy paste he had brought with him on the tombstone:
"Masonry, you know the training camp rules, no spirit food can be taken out of the canteen, look after this piece of energy paste yourselves...."
In his narration, Ghost Pupil’s mory drifted back to that day.
The scene where the Player Clan students sacrificed themselves to cover their retreat, helping them escape the encirclent of Soul Beasts at all costs.
At the end of the image, Li Zheng lay in his arms, coughing blood endlessly, looking depressed.
When the Li Zheng in his mory turned into a black mist and dissipated, Ghost Pupil’s heart twitched, prompting him to deeply inhale:
"Rest assured, once we finish our training, we will definitely go to the White Plain to avenge you, I swear by the Reverse Tide God, and by the honor of my Four Eyes Clan."
After saying this, Ghost Pupil wiped his hand across the tombstone, then stood up.
Once Ghost Pupil stepped aside, the other students stepped up one by one, wiping each tombstone of the Player Clan students.
They expressed their rembrance of the deceased in this manner.
Finally, they stood in a line, silently mourning before the tombstones.
Recalling scenes from the Snow Valley Training Camp, their eyes reddened involuntarily.
At this mont, a cheeky voice sounded from behind:
"With emotions in place, shouldn’t you be bowing before you leave?"
"Right, they paid the price of life for you, bowing wouldn’t be excessive."
Familiar voices ca from behind.
Ghost Pupil and the students from the Snow Valley Training Camp turned around.
They saw the familiar faces standing not far away, now looking at them with a teasing expression.
At this mont, Ghost Pupil and the students felt as if they were dreaming, not yet awakened.
