"You still know how to vent your anger. Looks like you've adapted well." Number One hovered in the air opposite Ling Lan, an almost imperceptible smile in his eyes as he expressed his first acknowledgement.
Instructor Number One's words made Ling Lan feel a faint sense of joy. She actually felt like she was being praised by a parent, and couldn't help but feel a little smug. However, Ling Lan was not so easily appeased. With a cold expression, she said irritably, "Instructor Number One, aren't you afraid that I'll be driven crazy by this cruel environment?"
Ling Lan knew very well that if it weren't for her mental fortitude, this primeval forest could easily drive a normal adult insane. Furthermore, she was currently just a 6 year old child to the outside world. No matter how talented a child was, they would not be able to survive in this primeval forest.
Although one could revive an unlimited number of times here, the various horrifying ways of dying, as well as the reality of the situation, were enough to drive an immature child to the brink of a mental breakdown, much less complete a mission.
Ling Lan was very suspicious. Was this learning space really meant to nurture children into talents, or was it meant to destroy children's futures? That was why she had asked the question in her heart as soon as she saw Number One.
Number One's expression was still cold, and he only asked in return, "Are you crazy?" In other words, if Ling Lan was not crazy, her protests would be meaningless, and if Ling Lan was crazy, she would be even less likely to protest...
Ling Lan looked up at the sky, speechless, tears streaming down her face. Hells, she had finally seen through it all. These so-called hosts of hers had no power at all. As they grew up, they could only be enslaved and oppressed by this despicable learning space, unable to resist at all.
Very satisfied with Ling Lan's resolve, Number One said, "Since the mission has been completed, the learning space will not be stingy with its rewards."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ling Lan heard the learning space's system alert, "Hunting mission successfully completed. Reward: 50 honour points."
F * ck, the learning space was too bloody stingy!
Ling Lan despised the system internally, but this also proved that her original guess was right — honour points were indeed hard to come by. This terrifying mission that almost drove her crazy only rewarded her with 50 Honor Points. She couldn't help but rejoice that she didn't waste those Honor Points in the beginning.
After receiving the system reward, Number One didn't say anything and just flicked his finger. The environment around them changed once again. There was no more greenery, swamps, or skeletons. There was only an empty space.
They had once again returned to the learning space, the place where she had first learned physical skills from Instructor Number Nine. Seeing the familiar scene, Ling Lan felt for the first time that the scenery before her eyes was so beautiful... even though there was actually nothing before her eyes.
"It's almost time. Go back first. Remember to restrain your murderous aura... "Instructor Number One kicked Ling Lan out without explaining further. In the next second, Ling Lan had already arrived at the great hall in her mindspace.
Sitting in a corner, deep in thought, Little Four seemed to have sensed something. He lifted his head and saw Ling Lan's figure. His eyes lit up with surprise, and just as he was about to pounce on her, he suddenly jumped up and scuttled behind one of the large pillars, his face full of fear. He carefully poked his head out to ask, "Boss?"
Little Four's shifty-eyed look made Ling Lan extremely annoyed. With a leap, before Little Four could react, she had already pinched his little ear.
"Little Four, why are you running...?" Ling Lan sneered. She couldn't deal with Instructor Number One, but taking care of a brat like Little Four was still a piece of cake.
"Protest, protest! You promised me that you wouldn't resort to domestic violence!" Little Four stomped his feet in protest, but at the same time, he also let go of his fear. The person who dared to resort to domestic violence was definitely Boss Ling Lan. In that instant just now, he had thought that Ling Lan was another person, a butcher full of murderous intent.
Ling Lan let go of his ear in exasperation and asked Little Four, "Why are you asking me if it's me? Could it be that other than me, there is someone else who can sneak in here? "
Little Four looked seriously at Ling Lan, and then said, "Boss, did you not notice the changes in your body?" As soon as he finished speaking, an extremely large full-length mirror appeared in front of the two of them. Their images were accurately reflected in the mirror.
Ling Lan lifted her head to take a look, and immediately understood what Little Four meant. She also understood what Instructor Number One had reminded her to rein in her murderous aura before he left.
The Ling Lan in the mirror was no longer as harmless as before. Her fierce gaze, the murderous intent at the corners of her eyes, and the faint blood-red murderous aura around her all showed that this child in front of her was a ferocious wild beast who could attack you in the next second.
"How could this be...?" Ling Lan quickly rubbed her face, trying to calm her expression. If she went out like this, she would definitely scare her old mother. Even if she didn't scare her old mother, it wouldn't be good to scare those old servants and guards either.
With Little Four's help, Ling Lan finally managed to rein in her murderous aura. She tried her best to squeeze out a smile. Ling Lan found that the previously harmless Ling Lan had returned. Only then did she say goodbye to Little Four in satisfaction and return to her own world.
Little Four waved his hands enthusiastically as he sent Ling Lan off. When he saw that Ling Lan had disappeared, he finally gave up supporting his body and fell to the ground. He wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. Even if he was beaten to death, he would never tell Ling Lan that he was the one who had adjusted the duration of the illusory space to the longest …
Alright, actually, the reason why Ling Lan couldn't come back from the primeval forest wasn't because of Instructor Number One, but because of Little Four's personal decision. It could only be said that Ling Lan was unlucky to have such a stupid teammate like Little Four. She should be thankful that she didn't go crazy.
Back in the real world, Ling Lan had already made preparations. She reined in her murderous aura and was as frail as usual, so she didn't attract much attention. However, the next day, Ling Lan made a request to Chamberlain Ling Qin to begin her actual combat training.
Of course, her excuse for making this request was that in the final test, there would be a combat test with the examiners. And because she had never been exposed to this type of combat before, her performance in the test wasn't very good, so she didn't get a high score. In the end, she was only able to enter the Central Scout Academy in 17th place.
Ling Lan believed that she couldn't relax. Perhaps after entering the scout academy, actual combat would become a specialised course. She didn't want to embarrass herself again, so she wanted to take advantage of the fact that school hadn't started yet to begin and begin her actual combat training.
Actually, this was all part of Instructor Number One's plan. The purpose of this was to deal with Ling Lan's murderous aura.
Murderous aura couldn't be forcefully reined in often — this would cause harm to Ling Lan's body, and might even affect her future growth. It was extremely disadvantageous. Unless one reached the level of experienced combat veterans like the instructors, who could control and rein in murderous aura as they wished, then there wouldn't be any hidden dangers.
Ling Lan's request made Ling Qin extremely excited. What the elderly loved the most was to see the juniors they cared for develop ambition, and become successful in the future. Without hesitation, he immediately summoned the Ling family's best combat fighter back to the academy to be responsible for feeding his little master moves.
Just like that, in the month before school started, Ling Lan began her self-torture routine.
During the day, she sparred with the combat fighter arranged by the Ling family, and at night, she was mercilessly tortured by her own Instructor Number Nine. At Ling Lan's current level, she still wasn't qualified for Number One to personally torture her …
In this kind of intense battle, which alternated between day and night, the murderous aura Ling Lan had been suppressing began to slowly seep out, then slowly retracted bit by bit until it finally disappeared without a trace. In the end, only when Ling Lan's killing intent rose up would the murderous aura on her be slightly exposed.
Thanks to Number One's careful arrangements, Ling Lan was able to safely avoid the danger of her secret being discovered. At the same time, there were only two days left until the start of the scout academy.
