On the record board, there was the ranking of the school and the students. Shang Jing Academy was at the top of both records.
Shang Jing Academy had gathered 502 herbs, their record far surpassing the other schools. Even the sum of all the herb gathering teams could not match up to Shang Jing Academy.
The person at the top of the list of students was Yan Po Jun. Yue Yang realized that this guy had actually gathered 45 Black Eared Shrivelled Heart Orchids. It seemed that he was quite knowledgeable about herbs. Next was Feng Qi Sha, who was ranked second with thirty-six herbs. As for that brat Xue Tan Lang, Yue Yang realized that he was a martial arts fanatic. His knowledge of medicinal herbs was very limited. He only managed to gather ten herbs, which was barely a passing grade …
"Yan Po Jun, Yan Po Jun gathered 45 herbs?" The Ivy Academy students who were queuing up to hand over their herbs also discovered this ranking board. Immediately, there was an uproar.
"So handsome! As expected of the Three Great Killing Stars! "For a moment, the girls' eyes were filled with little stars.
"This arrogant guy …" Fatty Hai was extremely jealous.
"You guys, why did you come here empty-handed?" The boy who was scolded just now couldn't help but laugh when he saw Yue Yang, Ye Kong and Fatty Hai coming here empty-handed. "Don't tell me you guys can't even gather one herb? As expected of Ivy Academy students. Tsk tsk tsk, Ivy Academy students have this kind of quality! "
"No matter how low our quality is, we won't cheat! Are the students of your Shang Jing Academy so outstanding? Alright, you guys are all outstanding, all of you are experts at cheating! "The long haired girl laughed coldly.
"How can you say that?" When the two companions behind the boy heard this, they seemed to have been stabbed in the foot, glaring angrily.
"Do you want to fight?" The thief girl who was the fastest in gathering herbs flashed out. Her eyes were as cold as daggers as she stared at the Shang Jing Academy students. "Anytime!"
"Enough, after you guys hand over your herbs, scram. Don't cause trouble here!" The eagle-eyed guy shouted. Immediately, the Shang Jing Academy students who had surrounded them retreated. Before leaving, the boy who cheated threw down some harsh words. "Ivy Academy students, remember this. When the time comes, we will meet at the Hundred Schools Elite Competition. At that time, it will be clear who is better and who is worse. Today, you have a teacher protecting you. When it comes to the competition, let's see if he can still protect you! As long as you trash dare to go up the stage, see if I don't beat you up! "
"What bullsh * t, a cheater dares to show off here!" Fatty Hai was so angry that his nose almost became crooked.
"I don't want to talk to a piece of trash who would be beaten down after ten seconds on stage …" That boy completely looked down on Fatty Hai and left with his eyes on the top of his head.
"Don't stop me! I want to beat him up, don't stop me!" Fatty Hai was furious. He rubbed his palms together, pretending to rush forward and fight to the death with the other party.
"Pig, I don, you. With your strength, you is, I is is is is, you. I reckon that in his hands, you would at most be able to hold on for ten seconds before falling to the ground. If you want to die, then go ahead. We won't stop you. Don't worry, after you die, I promise to collect your corpse! " "Master Hai Hai Hai." If. Yang Academy, he, there, you, he, you, he, you Academy, you, you is., if, you, you, Hai, you., you, I, I have you.
"No, if he goes through special training, Young Master Hai will still have a chance to win if they really fight!" Yue Yang shook her head in disagreement.
"This training is a bit difficult. Normal people might not be able to handle it. So, forget it." Yue Yang said.
"This special training is a little difficult. A normal person might not be able to handle it. So, let's just forget about it." Yue Yang was obviously thinking that Fatty Hai couldn't handle the hardship.
"What did you say? I was born into this world for special training! Do you think I am a normal person? Can an ordinary person have a body as fat and strong as mine? Let me tell you, there is nothing in this world that I, Master Hai, can't do. Sometimes, when I go berserk, not to mention others, even I am afraid. Isn't it just training? To me, it's a piece of cake … Don't tell me that I have to eat a bowl of braised pork every day? Let me tell you, although it is difficult, I dare to tell you that I have no problem. "Fatty Hai patted his chest, stirring up waves of flesh.
"Why would I be friends with a pig, I regret it." Ye Kong covered his head, feeling extremely dejected.
"Idiot!" The Ivy Academy students hurriedly moved away from Fatty Hai, in case others misunderstood that they knew this guy.
"Students, these … Are the Black Eared Shrivelled Heart Orchids that have just bloomed?" The old lady doctor, who had been smiling calmly, couldn't help but be moved when she saw Princess Qi Ming and Little Princess Bei Bei handing over the herbs. "Hundreds of Black Eared Shrivelled Heart Orchids? You must have discovered the Black Eared Orchids. Children, you have done well. Every one of these herbs has double the effect … I thank you on behalf of the soldiers. Children, because of your hard work, you will save even more lives. "
"This time we were lucky to succeed, but I still want to criticize you when you are praised. This method is very dangerous. Especially when you lack sufficient protection, waiting for the Black Eared Orchids to bloom is a mistake. "The eagle-eyed guy poured cold water on Princess Qi Ming and the others' happiness.
"Indeed, children, in the Demon Abyss, any precious herbs that bloom or bear fruit will be hunted by powerful beasts. Waiting for the Black Eared Orchids to bloom is dangerous. Children, you are the future of the country. Even if our soldiers die, they would not be willing to see you, who are so young, sacrifice your precious lives to save them. Remember, children, the first thing we think of should be to complete the mission. As for completing the mission in excess, you must first think about whether you possess powerful strength … You have done well, but it makes me very worried. I can't bear to scold you, but I have to remind you that you must be careful when you complete missions in the future. Heading to the dangerous Demon Abyss, you must be a hundred times, a thousand times more careful than when you do missions normally. " The old lady doctor stood up and kissed the children's faces one by one. Finally, she carried Little Princess Bei Bei and warned them gently.
"We have Big Brother to protect us. These herbs, they also have a share!" Little Princess Bei Bei pointed at Yue Yang, Ye Kong and the others.
"Really? As expected, I guessed correctly. " The old lady doctor looked at Yue Yang, Ye Kong, Fatty Hai and the Li Brothers one by one. Finally, she turned her gaze back to Yue Yang and nodded slightly. "You have done well. I will give every one of you excellence. Other than that, I also want to tell you that you have worked hard. Your performance is worthy of the title of Human Elite. "
"…" Fatty Hai's eyes brimmed with tears when he heard this. He had always been trash, but this was the first time he had heard such an honorable praise. He was so moved that he almost cried.
"…" Ye Kong and the Li Brothers also felt their blood boiling.
They had originally thought that they would starve to death in Tong Tian Tower, but they did not expect that after meeting Yue Yang, they did not starve to death. Instead, they turned from trash to Human Elite.
Of course, they were also clearly aware that there was actually still a gap between their strength and that of Human Elite.
These honors were all earned by Yue Yang.
However, as a member of Yue Yang's team, they also had the reason to feel proud and honored.
Although he wasn't an elite human right now, there would be a day when he would be worthy of this glorious title. Especially under his leadership, as long as he followed his footsteps closely, he would be able to step into the forefront of the elites … Ye Kong and the Li Clan Brothers looked at Yue Yang, their eyes blazing with pride, like a raging flame.
These words, they would not say it out loud, but they would engrave it in their hearts and use their whole lives to realize it.
"Are these herbs enough?" Yue Yang asked a question that all the students, including the Three Great Killing Stars, had never asked before.
When the old lady doctor heard this, her expression changed slightly.
On the contrary, the black armoured eagle-eyed man's expression was a little matter-of-fact, because he had always been secretly observing Yue Yang. Whether it was Yue Yang's gaze sweeping over the injured, or looking at the herb recording board, or his following thoughts, everything was seen by the black armoured eagle-eyed man.
As early as in the Demon Abyss, the eagle-eyed man had already discovered that Yue Yang was completely different from the others, so he paid extra attention to him.
Towards the questioning Yue Yang, the old lady doctor first muttered to herself, then lightly shook her head. "Originally, there were less than a thousand herbs. Adding the four hundred herbs that your Ivy Academy collected, the total is one thousand three hundred and ninety herbs. Your last hundred herbs can produce double the medicinal efficacy, but it can only save around one thousand and five hundred people. However, the number of poisoned soldiers is more than five thousand. Just what you saw in the plaza, there are more than three thousand people … "
"Why didn't you send more people to collect them?" Yue Yang was curious. Why didn't the army send more soldiers to collect the herbs?
"In the army, other than military doctors, how would ordinary soldiers know how to collect Black Eared Shrivelled Heart Orchids? Besides, there are no more Black Eared Shrivelled Heart Orchids to be collected. Your harvest is already a pleasant surprise! In order to save people, we gathered the most elite students in a few academies and took a huge risk to send you all to the Demon Abyss. This is already the biggest gamble. To tell the truth, although I am a doctor who saves people, I am opposed to doing this. Because as long as you are discovered by the army of the Demon Abyss, then there is a possibility that the entire army will be wiped out! You all are the future of the Da Xia Empire, we should not use you all to gamble. However, this is His Majesty's order, so I can only nod my head in agreement … Fortunately, all of you have returned safely. Children, you all do not need to feel guilty. You all have already done extremely well. Our rescued soldiers, as well as their loved ones, will all thank you for your efforts! As for the remaining soldiers who cannot be rescued, I will think of a way to extend their lives, so that before they leave, they can see their loved ones one last time. "The old lady doctor's voice was filled with pity, as if she saw her own loved ones about to leave.
"Then the three thousand people who cannot be rescued, how do they choose? They are all the same soldiers, are they to draw lots, or according to merits? "Yue Yang felt that no matter who died and who lived, the choice was a difficult problem.
Who would be willing to die in a situation where they could be saved?
Who would be willing to watch helplessly as others were rescued and revived, while they themselves died?
※ ※ ※
"It's very difficult to choose, but the soldiers themselves have already made the decision. Young soldiers who are the only child in their family, or who have just given birth to a baby, or whose parents are old and so on, will be given priority in treatment. The old soldiers who have been on the battlefield for their entire lives are willing to set an example for the younger generation … This is not the first time we have done something like this, and it will not be the last! Students, this is where the spirit of our Da Xia Empire lies. As long as the Martial Spirit does not die, the old soldiers will take the lead! It is precisely because of our generations of sacrifices that there is today's Da Xia Empire, that there is hope for tomorrow. When you all grow up and see more things, then you will understand the wishes of the old soldiers! If the humans of the Soaring Dragon Continent did not have such a noble spirit of sacrifice, I'm afraid that we would have long been conquered by the Demon Abyss! " The old lady doctor finally nodded towards Yue Yang and said: "Just like how you all risked your lives to protect the children while gathering medicinal herbs, your actions and the choice of the old soldiers are essentially the same."
"The soldiers in the plaza all voluntarily gave up on treatment, that's why they came to the plaza to bid farewell to their loved ones." The eagle-eyed man suddenly interjected.
"… …" Yue Yang's heart was immediately filled with deep veneration.
No wonder the soldiers in the plaza all looked so old, some of them even had white hair. It turned out that they were the old soldiers who had volunteered to sacrifice themselves.
Yue Yang was shocked by their spirit of sacrifice!
In the face of life and death, how many people could do this? In China's Xia Dynasty, there were countless onlookers, bystanders, push-ups, and people who did not save the dying. The various kinds of indifference in society made Yue Yang's heart deeply shut. What he saw the most were ungrateful people who repaid kindness with enmity. What he saw the most were vile people who bared their fangs and brandished their claws, while kind-hearted people cried bitterly … Things like scamming, dying from depression, dying from nightmares, entrapment, beating people without seeing blood, etc., made Yue Yang's heart feel incomparably cold.
Kindness? Honesty?
Weren't these things the weaknesses that some people exploited?
He had always felt that the spirit of sacrificing oneself for others had long been spurned by others. Only fools would do that!
In the past, there were indeed people who did good deeds like Lei Feng. But now, if anyone did it casually, they would be courting death … … Of course, there were still people who did it, but what they got in return was tears of pain. For example, when they saw a bag being robbed, they would be stabbed. Even the person who was robbed would not admit that they had acted bravely for a just cause. They would even think that this fellow was a busybody. When they helped an old lady, they would have to pay 49,000. When they picked up the money and handed it to the authorities, they would immediately be thought that they were hiding a portion of it … …
After transmigrating, they arrived at the Soaring Dragon Continent.
Yue Yang discovered that the world here was completely different from the one he knew in the past.
In China's Xia Dynasty, he behaved very normally. But here, he became a 'different species' … … To protect himself, not letting himself get hurt, everything was for his own benefit. In China's Xia Dynasty, Yue Yang believed that there were countless people who thought like him. However, in the Soaring Dragon Continent, it was the opposite. Fourth Mother could go bankrupt for him. She used the money she had saved for more than ten years to buy a Spirit Beast Awakening Knowledge Pill for her adopted son. But his own daughter did not even have the money to learn skills.
If Fourth Mother did it for her family, then what about these old soldiers?
The old soldiers here must have been bathed in blood on the battlefield, rolling around in piles of corpses. It was not easy for them to come back alive. In the last moment of life and death, they chose to sacrifice themselves for others without hesitation … … They gave their chance to be saved to others, to young people whom they did not know but had more hope!
If he did not see it with his own eyes, Yue Yang would not dare to believe that this was the truth!
There were also people who sacrificed themselves for others in China's Xia Dynasty. The Yan Huang Clan had countless heroes, so the fire of civilization was able to continue, becoming the only one among the Four Great Civilizations.
In the Soaring Dragon Continent, the reason why Da Xia Dynasty could stand for thousands of years without falling was probably because of this kind of spirit.
It was because of the dedication and sacrifice of the predecessors.
That was why the younger generation could continue to grow and multiply, passed down from generation to generation … …
"Let's go, we have tried our best!" The eagle-eyed guy patted Yue Yang's shoulder and waved his hand to order the students of the Death Class. "Everyone, return to the academy and continue training tomorrow! Competition is cruel, if you don't want to be eliminated by others, then you must be stronger than anyone else, be more outstanding than anyone else! "
Yue Yang followed the team and left, looking at the poisoned soldiers around him.
He discovered that although these old soldiers' faces were black, their expressions were calm and even proud.
Many soldiers surrounded them, helping these old soldiers change into brand new military uniforms. Some of the old soldiers' chests were decorated with all kinds of medals, as dazzling as the stars. When Yue Yang saw countless doctors carrying bowls of farewell wine, they passed it to the old soldiers one by one. Even those who were so heavily injured that they could not hold a bowl, they also held back their tears, dipped their fingers in the wine, and gently smeared it on their lips.
"General … …" A few soldiers helped an old man with white hair and beard to wear a dazzling General's Star. The youngest soldier's eyes suddenly reddened as he wiped his tears.
"Bastard, what are you howling for, scram, don't embarrass me, I have already earned enough." The old man's voice was weak, but his aura was like that of an old lion.
"General, you can't leave like this, you still have to bring us to continue fighting, if you leave, what are we going to do?" The youngest soldier cried bitterly.
"I am already tired, I don't want to fight anymore, I just want to have a comfortable sleep now! For so many years, I have never rested, everyday I am either fighting here or there, I have received a lot of medals and whatnot, but I don't even have the time to have a good sleep. It is all because of you bastards, you make me worry every day, every day, it is not easy to turn you from cowards into real soldiers, these years are really tiring … … You guys work hard, don't think about embarrassing me, otherwise, even if you go to the underworld, I will still kick your butts … … Bring the wine, ever since I heard that damned doctor say that I will stop drinking, I have not drunk a drop of wine in three months, now I am about to die, I don't care about him, bring all the wine, I will be a happy drunkard before I die, haha! " When the old man changed into the general's uniform, Yue Yang saw that his body was full of densely packed scars, some of the scars were terrible, the wounds were so deep that the bones could be seen.
A poisoned general actually did not receive treatment?
Of course not, if he did not personally refuse, he would probably be the first to receive treatment.
But why did he refuse treatment? Could it be that he was really willing to sacrifice himself to give a young man a chance?
Yue Yang was a little curious, he could not help but take large strides over, and asked, "Are you really a general?"
Hearing this, the old man's face was full of astonishment. Suddenly, he laughed involuntarily and asked, "Brat, you don't know me? Alright, that brat Jun Wu You even praised me, saying that everyone in the whole Da Xia Kingdom knows me, everyone knows me. I already knew that brat was just bragging, his goal was to trick people into working for him. Luckily I did not become complacent, otherwise I would have lost a lot of face! "
The black armoured eagle-eyed man appeared behind Yue Yang, and his voice became even more respectful, "This is General Dao Feng, the leader of the Da Xia Kingdom's Ten Great Generals."
"What Ten Great Generals, they are all just dead old ghosts, if they were really that awesome, I would not be the only one left after dying! They have all left, after so many years, I have had enough. Why is it that they are enjoying incense offerings in the Martial Spirit Chamber every day, but I have to risk my life with these old bones? Even Yue Hai that fellow has given up, why should I still persist? Suffering like this every day, being called one of the Ten Great Generals, don't the wounds on my body hurt? I'm not even allowed to drink a cup of wine, living like this is meaningless, why don't I go to hell and meet up with those old ghosts … "The old man's name made Yue Yang slightly stunned. The name General Dao Feng, even though he had not transmigrated for long, he had heard of it before.
General Dao Feng was the leader of the Da Xia Kingdom's Ten Great Generals, and also the only one left.
This old general's age was unknown, it was said that he was already more than 200 years old, and was the most experienced person in the army. He entered the army at the age of 18 to train, and was promoted to General at the age of 40. Then, he worked hard until now, and achieved countless merits. Even a few books would not be enough to finish writing his biography.
Originally, with his merits and abilities, it was more than enough for him to become the country's Grand Marshal.
However, the strange thing was that he refused to be promoted to Grand Marshal ten times, and insisted on being a General. The reason was unknown to the world, only Jun Wu You, the Da Xia Emperor, and Elder Yue Hai, who he strongly recommended to be promoted to Grand Marshal knew. This General Dao Feng, in the Da Xia Kingdom's army, was practically a living fossil. At the same time, he was also a lucky general. He had escaped from death countless times, and had fought thousands of battles in his life. He had never experienced a complete wipeout. Even in the harshest environment, under a crushing defeat, he was still able to preserve the strength of his Dao Feng Army.
The Dao Feng Army, which he had personally built and trained, could be said to be the leader of the Da Xia Kingdom's Three Great Armies.
Who would have thought that such a legendary person would actually refuse treatment, give the chance of survival to his subordinates, and lie on the plaza waiting for death …
"Why? Isn't it better to be alive? If you're not here, who will lead your soldiers to battle? Are you really at ease leaving the Dao Feng Army to others? "Yue Yang discovered that he had the talent of a gossip reporter.
"I'm about to die, why would I care so much!" The old man was quite open-minded.
"What if you can survive?" Yue Yang paused and asked.
"Actually, I'm tired of living. If I want to live, I can live now … Who in this world wouldn't die? For someone like me to live for 200 years and still have to fight a war, my life is too bitter! I'm a soldier, a veteran. I should die on the battlefield with glory, and not on a comfortable bed … In this battle, although the Demon Abyss killed over 3000 of my subordinates, I didn't lose out either. I killed over 30,000 of their soldiers, and even killed two Demon Commanders. So, dying now doesn't matter! If I wait until I'm so old that I can't even lift my blade, and get killed by a green-skinned creature, that would be sad! " The old man struggled to sit up. He first looked into the distance, then turned to Yue Yang: "Brat, I understand what you're thinking. Aren't you just trying to knock me unconscious, and then secretly save me? This trick is useless against me … Go, a veteran dying with glory, this is the best ending! "
Yue Yang who had Level 3 [Divine Vision] could see the truth.
This old man, this famous General Dao Feng, other than being poisoned, he had even more serious injuries.
His body was already very old, and with the addition of his injuries, it made his body, which was strong enough to not collapse, become extremely weak. Furthermore, he had received a fatal blow from the enemy, and his entire internal organs were severely injured! Being poisoned, to him, was only a superficial symptom. Even if the poison was completely expelled, with this kind of body, it was estimated that he wouldn't be able to live for another month.
This point, was probably the real reason why the old man refused to take the medicine to survive.
After seeing the truth, a strange feeling suddenly arose in Yue Yang's heart. Could it be that there was really no way to cure him?
The White Jade Beetle, in addition to Innate Qi, could expel the poison and heal his injuries at the same time.
Using Innate Qi, a breakthrough in the understanding of medical treatment might be right in front of him. This was the best chance. Anyway, he could only treat a dead horse as a living one. Yue Yang felt that, maybe, he could try …
