In a corner of the carrier, Li Yao stared at the hologram of the crystal processor attentively. He had to seize the last few minutes to learn the rules and regulations of the Thunder Training Camp.
The more he learned, the more he frowned.
"It's really difficult!"
After a long time, Li Yao grinned and murmured to himself.
Of the four training camps, the Thunder Training Camp was the harshest one. It was also known as the "Death Training Camp".
The word "death" meant that there were many training subjects in the training camp that were very close to actual combat. They were extremely dangerous, and there was even a certain probability of injury and death. It was clearly written in black and white on the training contract that they signed before they entered the camp.
The Thunder Training Camp was only open to the brave, not the cowards.
On the other hand, it referred to the extremely high elimination rate.
The Thunder Training Camp was divided into the Inner Division and the Outer Division. The Outer Division was designed for Refinement Stage Cultivators. Usually, 100 students would be recruited in each semester. After three months, only 10 would be able to stay.
The elimination rate was as high as 90%. It was much more difficult than most of the courses in the Combat Department of the Grand Desolate War Institution!
The cruel training style and the high elimination rate made the Thunder Training Camp famous. Countless training maniacs were willing to pay a huge sum of money just to get a shiny "Thunder Exo" badge.
Since these students could afford the high tuition fee, they were more likely to wear the Crystal Suit that was worth billions in the future. They were either the sons of wealthy families or the future stars of cultivation sects. They had both resources and strength. They were completely different from the opponents that Li Yao had encountered before.
"These 100 students are all real experts. They are incomparable to the freshmen like Zhao Tianchong and Lu Tieshan."
"Many of them have some experience in wearing the Crystal Suit, unlike me. They have never touched it before. They are complete rookies. "
"It will be quite difficult to enter the top 10 among these 100 experts!"
While he was thinking. The carrier slightly shook and landed on the Gobi Desert next to the oasis.
Li Yao and a dozen other students walked out of the carrier.
It was the afternoon, the hottest time of the day. There was no cover in the Gobi Desert. The strong sunlight was piercing their skin.
The oasis was not far away, but the students had to wait under the sun.
The transport ship swept up a large cloud of dust and whistled away. However, not a single staff member came out to help.
Several other transport ships took off and landed. The number of students in the Gobi Desert gradually increased.
Li Yao observed in secret. Most of the students were over twenty-five years old and had fought in the real Asura Battlefield before. Their expressions were very sharp, and they did not have the immaturity of university students at all.
Although everyone had used the Soul Converging Technique to hide their strength, Li Yao could tell that many of them were strong just by looking at them standing under the sun for a few hours without a single drop of sweat on their bodies. Both of them had reached the high level of the Refinement Stage.
Perhaps, his strength was the weakest among the hundred students.
Most of the students' eyes shone brightly as they vigilantly scanned their competitors for the next three months.
When he sensed that there was an opponent whose strength was about the same as his, he unabashedly released his hostility.
Training camps were different from schools and sects.
Fellow disciples in schools and sects were all in the same interest group. No matter how fierce the competition was, there was still some affection and a sense of collective honor.
Just like Li Yao, Zhao Tianchong, and Lu Tieshan, although there was competition between them. But they were all fellow disciples of the Grand Desolate War Institution. When they encountered a big event, they would still unite and work together.
Training camps were different. It was a naked transaction. There was not the slightest bit of relationship between each other. They were the most direct competitors.
Out of a hundred students, only ten could laugh in the end. Everyone was an enemy. Once there was an opportunity, they would eliminate others!
This was the truest thought of all the students.
While Li Yao was pondering, his eyes suddenly darkened. The sun seemed to be covered by a huge black cloud.
Squinting his eyes, Li Yao saw a tall young man with gray eyes and a sharp face that seemed to be carved out of stone.
On the young man's face, there was a slightly strange smile. His glittering eyes were like a cat that had caught a mouse but was not in a hurry to bite it to death. Instead, he wanted to play with it for a long time.
"Grand Desolate War Institution, Li Yao?"
The grey-eyed young man raised his eyebrows and asked casually.
Li Yao keenly detected a hint of hostility. He stood straight and looked at the young man.
"You are?"
"Yuan Yeshi of the Battlesuit Department of Deep Sea University."
The grey-eyed young man said unhurriedly.
Li Yao frowned. This was a very strange name.
"You don't know me, but I've heard a thing or two about you."
Yuan Yeshi sneered, "My sister, Yuan Yexue, is a true disciple of Supernova Jiang Sheng and one of the Novem Stellae. I read some files about you from her. I know that you are a refining genius who has been in the limelight recently. In the Refiners' Registration Examination, you crushed Deep Sea University.
"However, the Thunder Training Camp is the territory of the Exos. What are you doing here instead of working as a refiner?"
"Sunbathing."
Faced with the aggressive question, Li Yao replied lazily.
Lightning flashed in Yuan Yeshi's eyes. He was about to open his mouth when he heard a commotion behind him.
It was a ferocious-looking, skeleton-like flying shuttle that was galloping toward them.
"The tutor is here!"
Someone called out.
Yuan Yeshi's face changed. He said, one word after another,
"The grudges between refiners have nothing to do with me. I don't care.
"However, I don't like the way you talk.
"You may be a refining genius, but it doesn't mean that you can be so arrogant in the world of Exos.
"From today on, I will keep an eye on you and eliminate you at the first opportunity!"
While he was talking, he glared at Li Yao with his eyes that were as sharp as sabers and returned to the crowd.
At this moment, a middle-aged brawny man jumped down from the skeleton-shaped shuttle. Before he landed, two deep footprints were left on the ground. It was as if a ten-thousand-ton boulder had smashed into the ground. The mountain shook and the earth shook, rolling up smoke and dust into the sky.
"What an intimidating aura!"
"He's at least in the high level of the Building Foundation Stage!"
Many students whispered to each other.
When the dust cleared, a figure appeared in the middle of the crowd. It was a short, fat, ugly, muscular man.
Most of the top of his head was shiny, but there was a tuft of hair on the top of his head. On his lips, there were two black, shiny whiskers that looked like black scimitars.
At first glance, the three tufts of hair had attracted most of the attention. It made people forget his real appearance.
Many students couldn't help laughing.
But the eyes of the muscular man were as sharp as lightning. After a quick glance, everyone felt a chill on the back of their heads. Their throats seemed to be choked, and their laughter died in their stomachs.
"My name is Mao Feng. I am the supervisor of the Thunder Training Camp. I will also be your chief tutor for the next three months. I will become the most terrifying, disgusting, gnashing person that you will want to tear into pieces! "
With his hands behind his back, Mao Feng paced among the students unhurriedly.
When he stopped in front of a student, he would stare at him.
In less than five seconds, the student would groan and admit defeat.
Mao Feng snorted in satisfaction and walked to the next student.
His voice was not loud. But in the strong wind of the Gobi Desert, his voice was clearly transmitted to the ears of every student.
"I have read all of your files. You are all geniuses, one in ten thousand cultivation geniuses. Not only do you have a strong background, but your own strength is also outstanding.
"Many of you have participated in countless bloody battles and killed hundreds of demon beasts by yourself.
"Many of you have already known about the Crystal Suit. Some of you are even students majoring in Battlesuit major in major universities. Taking advantage of the summer vacation, you come to the Thunder Training Camp to improve yourselves.
"But, here, everything has to start from scratch!
"I don't care who you are. You are a celebrity in your school, a mainstay in your sect, or a war hero on the battlefield. Your identity, status, and past are meaningless here!
"In the Thunder Training Camp, you are the most common students. You don't even need to have a name. From one to one hundred, you only need a number!
"I will give you the harshest, cruelest, and most brutal training. If you slack off or waver in the slightest, you will be eliminated mercilessly!
"However, most people couldn't hold on until they were eliminated. They cried and yelled that they wanted to quit voluntarily!"
"Remember, the Crystal Suit is a piece of magical equipment among magical equipment, and an Exo is a Cultivator among Cultivators!
"An Exo will always be at the forefront of the battlefield and will always be surrounded by enemies. An Exo who doesn't die three to five times a day is not a real Exo!
"The Thunder Training Camp only trains real Exos. If you are not prepared for this, get the hell out of here!"
While talking, Mao Feng walked to Li Yao and stared at him with his lightning-like eyes.
"What a strong mental power!"
Li Yao felt that the mental power of this Instructor Mao was hundreds of times stronger than that of the three-eyed ape he had met on the Devil Flood Dragon Island.
If his soul hadn't been cleansed and refined by Ou Yezi, he wouldn't have been able to hold on for more than half a second.
Li Yao gritted his teeth and stared at Mao Feng.
One second, two seconds, three seconds, five seconds, ten seconds!
Ten seconds later, Mao Feng raised his scimitar-like beard and said fiercely, "What's your name?"
"Sir, my name is Li Yao!"
Li Yao held his head high and said loudly according to the requirements of the camp handbook.
"It's you!"
Mao Feng grinned, looked around, and said loudly, "I just said that there are many hidden dragons and crouching tigers in this group. We are all geniuses. Even this inconspicuous little guy has a great background!"
"I'm afraid you don't know him yet. Let me introduce him to you. He is the youngest and weakest student in our class.
"He is also a ruthless person!"
