After five days, he understood why Ji De chose to give up. It was because the second stage was too difficult. It was almost impossible for a human to complete. The second stage of training was not complicated.
There was only one goal: to transport a ton of ammunition 50 kilometers away in one day.
It sounded simple, but it was as difficult as climbing to the sky. A ton. With Qi Yue's current strength, he could barely move it. However, there were no supplies in the desert. 50 kilometers was longer than a marathon, and he had to drag a ton of weight. Perhaps only a tank could do it. No, a tank would probably sink into the sand.
This was a training of strength, but also a further tempering of willpower. The muscles on Qi Yue's body were much stronger than when he had first arrived. Five days into the second stage, he was no longer a purple man, but a black man. Almost every special forces soldier would experience sunburn, but Qi Yue was different. He was Kirin. The Water Thundercloud Force protected his skin. It also maintained a certain amount of water in his body. From the beginning of the second stage of training, there was an instructor. Once the special forces soldier felt that he couldn't hold on, he could immediately ask for support.
"Qiangqiang, don't force yourself. Go back and rest. Continue tomorrow." The instructor's lifeless voice sounded in Qi Yue's ears.
Qi Yue reluctantly raised his head. Looking at the instructor standing beside him with a big bag on his back, he firmly shook his head and said in a hoarse voice, "Instructor Lei, I can continue for a while. I can get up after a rest. "
Instructor Lei nodded. He didn't say anything else. No one knew what the instructor's real name was. The other instructors called him Lei Zi. He was about the same size as Ji De. He was a little shorter than Ji De, but more majestic.
Twenty minutes later, Qi Yue struggled to get up from the ground. He tightened the rope that tied the ammunition to his back and asked Lei Zi, "Instructor. How far have I gone? "
Lei Zi said indifferently, "About 11 kilometers. It's one o 'clock in the afternoon. This is the most difficult time. It's rare that you could hold on for so long. "
Qi Yue smiled bitterly and said, "If I can eat and drink, I might be able to pull it over within a day."
Copper said, "You still don't understand the true meaning of this training. The most difficult part of this training was not the one ton of ammunition, nor was it the fifty kilometers of desert cross-country, but water and food. In other words, it was the control of one's own nutrients. You have to understand that we are not training ordinary people here. Everyone who walks out of here. Even if they only passed the first training, they would be absolute monsters in the outside world. In this second training, you have to learn to control your pores, control your breathing, and use all the nutrients in your body to pull things. Only in this way can you go further.
It had been ten years since anyone had been able to complete this training. It seemed that geniuses were hard to find! “
Qi Yue looked at Leizi with a strange expression. Usually, it was difficult for Leizi to speak more than a few words, but today, he seemed to be particularly talkative. "I understand. The second test is to train a camel. Instructor Leizi, I heard that there were fourteen people who passed all three tests! How come no one passed the second test in ten years? "
Leizi said, "Those fourteen who passed the test. Three of them passed when this place was just built, ten passed in the first year after it was reopened, and the last one passed eleven years ago. Do you know why there were so many people who passed the first year after it was rebuilt? Because those ten people were the most outstanding geniuses in our country, or rather, each of them was a monster. They all had their own special abilities. Physical abilities. The reason why you could walk ten kilometers, wasn't it also because of your special ability? Those special soldiers who passed the first training stage, after entering the second stage, can't even go beyond five kilometers. If I guessed correctly, one of your abilities should be the ability to gather water. Otherwise, you wouldn't have been able to last until now. "
Qi Yue smiled bitterly and said, "Your guess is quite accurate. However, Instructor, do you believe that within ten days, I will definitely pass the second test?"
Leizi nodded seriously and said, "I believe you."
"Oh, you believe me?" Qi Yue looked at him in surprise.
Leizi said, "Because you are Qiangqiang. I am forty-two years old this year. I came here when I was twenty-one years old, and I have been here for twenty-one years. In these twenty-one years, you are the one who has made the most progress I have ever seen. Perhaps some people can pass all the tests in the first few days, but none of them can make such huge progress every day like you. Perhaps, I should describe it as a leap. Your adaptability and self-regulation are very strong, especially your self-recovery ability. It seems that the cells in your body are different from ordinary people. If it wasn't for your special identity, I'm afraid there would already be scientists who want to study you. "
Qi Yue tried hard to take a step forward. "Even if they really study me, it will be a waste of time. They won't be able to study anything from me."
"Stop talking nonsense. With every word you say, the water in your body will evaporate a little more. Don't you understand this simple principle? "
Qi Yue's heart suddenly moved. "Instructor, I have an idea, and I want to ask for your help."
"What?" Leizi looked at Qi Yue coldly. "Don't expect me to help you with anything. If you want to pass any test here, you have to rely on your own strength."
Qi Yue smiled. His smile contained something that Leizi couldn't understand. "Instructor Leizi, I just want you to help me pull me back before I die."
Leizi was stunned. His sharp face showed a trace of impatience. "Don't play word games with me."
Qi Yue stopped and looked at the heavy object that left a deep mark in the desert behind him. "I will lie here from now on. Please feel my body's condition. If you think I am about to die, give me water to drink. Consider my action today a failure. As long as I am not about to die, don't worry about me. " As he said that, he tore off his camouflage clothes with his hook-like hands and quickly stripped himself clean. He spread his arms to the sides and lay down on the desert with his arms spread wide.
"Qiangqiang, are you crazy? You are committing suicide. I didn't expect that even your willpower couldn't hold on. "As Leizi said that, he pulled Qi Yue up from the ground. Qi Yue's weight of more than 100 kilograms was like a straw to him.
Qi Yue's body struggled. "Instructor Leizi, I am not giving up. This is a type of cultivation method. Put me down. "
Leizi was stunned. "Bullshit. What kind of training method is running naked? Look at your current appearance. In the desert, it won't take long for you to turn into human jerky. " Without the protection of the body, the body's water content wouldn't last long when the sun was at its hottest at noon.
Qi Yue shook his head and said, "Instructor, what I mean is that you can save me before I turn into human jerky. As you can see, one of my abilities is water. I'll be honest with you. I have four abilities: water, thunder, fire, and wind. If I want to improve my strength, I need to improve all four at the same time to enter the next realm. Remember when I first came here, I couldn't hold on on the first day, but on the second day, I beat all the special forces? At that time, it was because I entered a new realm. What I need to do now is to break through another realm. I need to absorb a large number of fire energy molecules to do that. So. I need to evaporate as much water as possible in my body. Only in this way can my body absorb more fire energy molecules. This is obviously the most suitable time. Instructor, please let me try. "
Leizi looked deeply at Qi Yue. "But, you will be in great danger. Once you consume too much water, I can't save you. The higher-ups have told me. No matter what, I can't let you be in danger. "
"I want to try. If I can break through this bottleneck. Maybe tomorrow, I can pass the second stage of training. Instructor Leizi, isn't this what you want to see? "Qi Yue's voice was firm.
It suddenly occurred to him that water and fire were two completely opposite energies. If he let his body have less water, the faster the fire energy training would be. It was obviously the luck brought by Lei Lin You to upgrade the Wind Thundercloud Force to the second cloud. But the Fire Thundercloud Force wasn't so easy. If he wanted to upgrade it, he would have to pay a higher price. There were plenty of wind and fire energy molecules in the desert. This was his chance! Since he had suffered so much, why not take the risk and try it again?
Qi Yue had always been a person who wasn't afraid of taking risks. In the beginning, he had attracted lightning with his body. Although it was dangerous, it brought him great benefits. Facing the impossible task of the second stage, Qi Yue knew that he didn't have the potential to become a camel. So, if he wanted to break through the second stage of the test, he needed to upgrade the Thundercloud Force. As long as he broke through the second cloud, his Water Thundercloud Force would directly rise to the third cloud. At that time, the abundance of Water Thundercloud Force would be enough to support him to complete the task better. And when his whole body rose to the second cloud, it meant that the Kirin blood in his body would further transform his body. The purpose of this special training would be achieved.
"Okay. But when I feel that you can't go on, I will stop you. "Leizi let go of Qi Yue. A man appreciates another man. It sounded a little disgusting. But when a man with an iron will looked at someone who was similar to him in front of him, this kind of appreciation was like looking at his own brother, a real brother.
Qi Yue lay down again. Without clothes, as soon as his body came into contact with the scorching heat of the desert, his whole body spasmed violently as if it was on fire. The sun was above him, and the scorching yellow sand was below him. That feeling was not something that ordinary people could imagine.
Lying there, Qi Yue didn't do anything deliberately. The Kirin bead on his neck had naturally turned red. A large number of fire energy molecules were transferred into Qi Yue's body through the Kirin bead and quickly circulated according to the cultivation route of the Rising Qilin Skill. Although the Water Thundercloud Force had reached the second cloud, it had been almost consumed in order to protect Qi Yue for most of the day. In this situation, the Water Thundercloud Force would only be consumed faster. The water in Qi Yue's body was constantly evaporating in the scorching environment.
Qi Yue suddenly wanted to laugh. The sunlight made it difficult for him to open his eyes. He wanted to laugh because he felt like a chicken wing lying in the oven. It seemed like it would turn brown after a while. The chicken wing smelled good, but he didn't know what it would taste like when it was cooked. Uh … My brother down there won't be roasted, will he?
Lei Zi's eyes were fixed on Qi Yue. Standing there, his clothes were already drenched in sweat. Looking at this young man who was more than 20 years younger than him, he felt like he was looking at his younger self again. The Taklamakan Military Base wasn't just used for training. It was an important military base for the Yan Huang military. And this special training center was only a small part of it. However, the status of the training center was supreme in the eyes of all the special forces soldiers. It was even sacred. As long as a special forces soldier could walk out of this place, even if he didn't pass the first stage of training, he would still be respected by other special forces soldiers. Being able to make it to this place was a testament to one's strength.
There were a total of three instructors here. The three of them didn't just stay here. There were only two training sessions here every year, and each session lasted about two hours. For the rest of the time, they all had their own identities. If Qi Yue knew that Instructor Lei was actually a major general, what would he think?
Qi Yue's expression gradually changed. His skin became abnormally dry, and there was no longer any sweat on his body. The hottest time of the day was coming. Lei Zi's feet moved a few times, but he retracted them each time. Even he could feel the changes in Qi Yue's body. There were two extreme changes. One was a strong energy fluctuation. The other was the feeling of walking towards death.
Was it hot? When a person was roasted to the point where he completely lost the feeling of heat, it was impossible for him to be conscious. Vaguely, Qi Yue saw himself when he was young. When he was sensible, he asked the director of the orphanage who his parents were. The orphanage's director's answer was simple. Just like any other orphan, he had been abandoned in front of the orphanage. On his body was a piece of paper with two simple words: Qi Yue's name.
Parents? For Qi Yue, these two words were so far away! When he was young, Qi Yue was never willing to leave the orphanage, because he was afraid to see the happy faces of other children who were about the same age as him. At that time, his character was a bit eccentric. It was not until he graduated from junior high school, when he met his first big brother, the smoker, that the situation changed. The result of the change was that he became a ruffian, a hooligan. A scum of society, or a vermin of the country.
Scum, what an ugly word! Qi Yue wanted to cry, but at this time, the water in his body could no longer help him secrete tears. He wanted to cry, not because of pain, but because of happiness. Or because of gratitude. Master Zagrú changed his life, and he was one of the few people he was most grateful to in his life. What Ji De said was right, Qi Yue was a person with strong self-esteem. No one was born a hooligan, but he was too helpless before. Except for the state's relief to support his life, no one was willing to help him, and no one could help him change the situation at that time. But the appearance of Zagrú changed everything for him, giving him strength, and the blood of the king of Kirin, making him who he was today.
An unprecedented fighting spirit suddenly burned in Qi Yue's heart. Opportunity, since I have the opportunity to become stronger, no matter what difficulties I encounter, I must go through. I am Kirin, the king of all the zodiac guardian gods, and also the king of the mythical beasts. At this moment, everything that was originally fuzzy suddenly became clear. Qi Yue clearly felt that his body seemed to be completely integrated with the whole desert. Kirin's skills appeared clearly in his mind, and every one of them was so clear. The originally scorching Fire Thundercloud Force suddenly turned into a warm liquid, and the red fire seemed to have turned into blue water. At that moment, Qi Yue clearly saw the purple, blue, red, and green lights in his body light up at the same time.
It was an indescribable feeling. Every cell that had fallen into a dead silence became active again, and every cell was constantly dividing. His bones felt itchy. His whole body seemed to be full of strength, especially his right arm, the bones of his arm had turned black. It was an incomparably deep black, a black that was full of power.
Lei Zi saw that Qi Yue's breathing had begun to pause, and he knew that it was time for him to make a move. Otherwise, there would be no way to save him. Just as he took out a water bottle and was about to save Qi Yue. Suddenly, two dazzling lights burst out from his eyes. His body subconsciously bounced back.
The Kirin Bead emitted an incomparably bright light. A purple thunderbolt soared into the sky, followed by a red flame, followed by a green tornado, and finally, the most precious thing in the desert, a moist water vapor. Then, a strange scene appeared. Qi Yue's body, which was originally close to death, floated up from the sand. As the four colors of light hovered, the sand on his body completely disappeared. The four colors of light began to rotate, wrapping Qi Yue inside. Lei Zi clearly saw a monster appear on Qi Yue's chest and back. It had a black body, silver hair, and that strange horn. Together with that strange horn, they were both gorgeous and dazzling. The beast seemed to come alive as a faint radiance enveloped Qi Yue's entire body.
The sound of crackling made one's teeth ache. It was the sound of Qi Yue's bones. Lei Zi stared at everything in front of him, stunned. Qi Yue's body seemed to be changing. His dark skin had returned to its bronze color, and the traces of dryness had disappeared. A layer of lustrous luster appeared on the surface of his skin, and his long black hair was scattered behind his head. An irresistible and domineering aura suddenly emerged from the monster pattern. Strong, Lei Zi could only use these two words to describe it.
He looked carefully and saw that Qi Yue's face also seemed to be changing. Although it was still not a handsome face, his facial features looked more harmonious. Perhaps it was because of the special training he had undergone for the past half a month, but his face revealed a resolute look.
"What kind of ability user is this kid? Why is he so strange?" Lei Zi's heart was filled with doubts.
Fifteen days. In a short period of fifteen days, Qi Yue had broken through the Bottle Path of the first cloud and ascended to the Second Cloud Realm. All of this could not be explained by chance. Chance was built on many certainties. When he obtained the three Kirin's Octadic Treasures, Kirin Red, Kirin Bead, and Kirin Yin had already begun to transform Qi Yue's body, making his Thundercloud Force more condensed. Because of the Relic Bead, Qi Yue did not have to worry about cultivation deviation. After many days of accumulation, coupled with some accidental opportunities, he had gradually experienced the Kirin Fast Cultivation that Xie Zhi had mentioned. A Qilin's cultivation speed should be faster than any other ancient beasts. What's more, there was the Blue Sea Thunder Bead, a divine object created by the power of nature. Qi Yue had finally begun to take steps towards becoming a true powerhouse.
This time, the changes in his body were obviously much stronger than before. Qi Yue could clearly feel every change in his body. The four different attributes of the Thundercloud Force had magically combined, as if there was an incomparably majestic voice constantly roaring in the depths of his heart. Fire and wind flowed back and forth in his meridians like mercury, but at this time, Qi Yue's body was suddenly cold and numb. The nine Blue Sea Thunder Beads clearly appeared in his body, and the energy contained within them slowly exploded. The already wide meridians seemed to expand endlessly, and the blue and purple energy constantly emitted from the nine beads. Even in a semi-conscious state, Qi Yue could still feel the huge amount of energy.
The physical strength that he had lost was quickly recovering, and the feeling of being filled with power made him slowly open his eyes. The four-colored light surrounding his body slowly gathered below him, and the illusory Kirin phantom stepped on the four-colored auspicious cloud, raising its head high. Qi Yue suddenly felt that his right arm was very itchy, as if there were countless ants crawling in his meridians. His body stood upright in mid-air, and with a fierce roar, as if a bolt of lightning had struck down from the sky, green veins appeared on his right arm along with his bulging muscles, and a terrifying energy seemed to condense under his flesh and blood.
The originally sunny sky suddenly changed, and under the cover of the dark clouds, the earth lost its original light. The earth lost its original radiance. Strong winds blew and clouds moved. Qi Yue, who was completely naked, suddenly felt as if his body was being torn apart. Waves of excruciating pain radiated from his body. On his right arm, a black and a silver halo alternated. Qi Yue knew that he finally possessed the true power of the Qilin Arm. Although this was only the initial stage, he still possessed it. What it brought to him was a qualitative leap in his strength.
Fifteen days, I've completed the cultivation of the second cloud. Then, there are still fifteen days left, can I improve again? As he floated to the ground, his muscular right arm suddenly stretched out. Qi Yue shouted, "Instructor Lei, don't be so arrogant." Qi Yue lifted the ton of ammunition above his head and shouted, I'll wait for you at the destination. " A blue light flashed under his feet, and as if only a phantom could be seen, his body disappeared in an instant. That tall and burly figure, that right arm that was like a demon king, left an indelible mark in Lei Zi's heart.
As Qi Yue left, all the visions in the sky also disappeared. Although the sunlight once again shined on Lei Zi's body, But he still felt cold all over. Just as Qi Yue was floating in mid-air, he realized that his body seemed to be enveloped by an invisible aura. At that time, he didn't dare to move, as if he only needed to make the slightest change.
It would bring about a catastrophe. After more than 20 years, Leister once again felt that someone could bring him so much pressure just by relying on their physical strength.
"Could it be that another owner of a diamond badge is about to appear? It seemed that the third stage of the test would not be able to stop him from advancing. It seems that I should write a report to the higher-ups. " Helplessly shaking his head, Lei Zi's body suddenly jumped out, and after a few ups and downs, he disappeared behind a slope in the desert.
Half a month later, Beijing International Airport.
Hai Ruyue stood expressionlessly at the 13th exit, waiting quietly. Perhaps because she didn't have a job today, she deliberately didn't wear her usual business attire, but chose a light blue casual dress. If it weren't for the silver-white mink shawl on her shoulders, it would be hard to imagine that she was dressed in winter clothes. Her long hair was combed into a ponytail, which added a bit of charm and a bit less of Wang Long's toughness. She had been at the airport for some time. Today was the day when Ming Ming and the others would return. They had been away for more than two months. The day before yesterday, Zagrú informed Hai Ruyue that they were about to return. The time of the Eastern Guardian Exchange Conference was getting closer and closer. Hai Ruyue had already begun to nervously prepare. It was the most suitable time for Ming Ming and the others to return. But although she was at the airport, her heart had already drifted elsewhere.
Qi Yue had already left the capital for an entire month. In this one month, there was not a single bit of news from him, as if he had vanished into thin air. Hai Ruyue had sought out Ji De more than once to inquire about Qi Yue's whereabouts, but Ji De had always rejected her with the reason that it was a military secret. It had been a whole month, and the exchange conference was getting closer and closer. Qi Yue, when will you come back?
"Sister Ruyue." A clear and surprised voice awakened Hai Ruyue from her thoughts. She saw Ming Ming, who was dressed in sportswear, walking quickly towards her. Behind her, followed by Yan Xiaoyi, Vole, Guan Ping, and Modi. The five of them looked energetic, without the tiredness that should have appeared after a flight.
"Ming Ming." Hai Ruyue held Ming Ming's hand. The aura of the Ascending Dragon Spell and the Ascending Rooster Spell came into contact. Without deliberately sensing it, she could clearly feel that Ji Ming Ming's strength had increased again.
When Yan Xiaoyi saw Hai Ruyue, his eyes lit up instantly. He strode towards Ruyue and lifted the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a smile that he thought was handsome. "You must be the dragon. I heard from Ming Ming that you're a stunning beauty. You're much more beautiful than I imagined." As he spoke, he had already extended his hand towards Hai Ruyue.
Hai Ruyue looked at him coldly. Yan Xiaoyi only felt two solid eyes piercing into his heart like sharp needles. His whole body trembled, and his mind actually appeared to be in a trance for a moment. His whole body froze there, and for a moment, he did not know what to do.
Hai Ruyue pulled Ming Ming and directly brushed past Yan Xiaoyi. Yan Xiaoyi vaguely heard her say, "Are you that sheep that only knows how to play tricks? You're not qualified to shake hands with me. "
When Hai Ruyue's gaze met Modi's, a faint smile appeared on her face. Although Modi deliberately wore a long coat, when she walked, she unintentionally revealed her long legs, which were still so soul-stirring. Last time, Modi, Vole, and Yan Xiaoyi did not have much contact with Hai Ruyue. They only went directly to Tibet under her arrangement. Today was the first time they officially met. The two beauties, who were about the same age, looked at each other and could not help but reveal a gentle smile.
"Hello, I'm Hai Ruyue." Facing Modi, Ruyue took the initiative to stretch out her slender and white right hand. Modi shook hands with her, smiled slightly, and said, "Hello, I'm Modi."
Hai Ruyue nodded to Vole and Guan Ping and said, "Let's go. We'll talk in the car."
The extended Cadillac car was waiting for them outside the airport. As soon as they got in the car, Ming Ming asked impatiently, "Sister Ruyue, hasn't Qi Yue come back yet?" She only heard from Ji De that Qi Yue had gone for special training, but Ji De did not tell her the specific location.
Ruyue shook her head and said, "Not yet, but it should be soon. There are still more than ten days before the exchange. The last time he left, he only asked for a month's leave from me. How are the results of your trip? "
Hearing that Qi Yue had not come back yet, although Ming Ming tried to restrain her emotions, Hai Ruyue still felt a faint sense of loss from her.
"Sister Ruyue, this time, the strength of our Zodiac Guardian has greatly increased. When I first met Qi Yue, I couldn't figure out what was so powerful about him. But since his appearance, we have four more companions. Sister Modi has already completed the cultivation of the Fourth Cloud, and Brother Guan is even more powerful. He is about to complete the Fifth Cloud. The strength of Innate Awakened is really fast. Especially in the early stage, it is said that Brother Zagrú inherited the Lion Mastiff bloodline, and is a special dog warrior of the zodiac. In the future, his fighting potential will be very big. Vole and Yan Xiaoyi have also reached the Initial Cloud, and basically have the basic abilities of their Zodiac Forms. Overall, we have gained a lot from this trip to Tibet. With Big Sister Modi and Big Brother Guan, there shouldn't be any problems with this exchange. "
Guan Ping sighed softly and said, "After talking with Grandmaster, I have understood a lot of doubts in my heart. It seems that I will have to guard our country with another identity in the future."
