After the first day of training, Li Xiang was both excited and nervous as he lay on his bed. It had been a long time since he had experienced such a feeling of excitement. If the grayish-white liquid stored in the grayish-white scale bar was liquefied Origin Substance, then he would really hit the jackpot.
A drop of liquefied Origin Substance was equivalent to a standard tube of gaseous Origin Substance. The first four trainees only received five standard tubes of gaseous Origin Substance every day. From the grayish-white scale bar, ten drops of liquefied Origin Substance would only fill one percent of the bar. He didn't know what kind of changes would occur after it was filled to the brim.
Unfortunately, he had touched all the mechanical devices around the dormitory building. Upon closer inspection, he discovered that there was an additional line of small steam characters on the gray scale bar.
Origin Substance: 0.6%. It really was Origin Substance!
So many mechanical devices could only fill so little of the scale bar. It looked like Li Xiang would have to wait a long time before it was filled to the brim.
Early the next morning, as soon as the morning bell rang, Li Xiang jumped out of bed like a carp.
From today onwards, it would be considered a true Polar night training camp life. Washing up and eating breakfast in the morning had to be done according to the hierarchy. Chen Fan casually wiped his face a few times before pulling Li Xiang towards the cafeteria.
When they left the bathroom, the Kuang Tie and Li Xiang bumped into each other at the narrow door. His expression was cold as he glared at the two of them before slowly walking into the bathroom.
"Damn, so cocky." Chen Fan muttered, but didn't go up to argue. He ran down the stairs side by side with Li Xiang and told him some of the gossip he had gathered. "Let me tell you, Ah-Xiang, the Kuang Tie brat isn't honest. Last night when he was washing up, he was already trying to win over people's hearts. Quite a few girls were even willing to be his women. Oh right, that number 44, your little fangirl, he'll take special care of her. She looks like she's already head over heels for him. "
Li Xiang smacked him on the head and ran into the cafeteria to pick out a suitable breakfast. At the same time, he retorted, "You should pay more attention to your Sister Wanqing."
His voice was not loud, but it scared Chen Fan half to death. He ran over and covered Li Xiang's mouth, whispering, "F * ck, big brother, are you trying to kill me? I'm also having breakfast in the canteen. "
Following Chen Fan's gaze, Ji Yanqing was sitting in the middle of a few girls. She had a gentle smile on her face, and when she met their gazes, she was also incomparably gentle.
The cute girl who was brimming with killing intent was also there. She was still eating by herself. Her body was curled up on the chair like a vigilant little hedgehog.
Li Xiang knew the meaning of that posture. For a short period of time in his previous life, he went through a similar period. He didn't dare to trust anyone and didn't dare to get close to anyone. It was as if the whole world was hostile to him.
Since she was also having breakfast at this time, she should be one of the top four students in some class. Compared to the smiling Ji Yanqing, her threat was not small. In fact, she was even more threatening.
Before the morning class, a new training program was added. It was a 10,000-meter endurance run as a warm-up.
After the run, the trainees' bodies heated up and were dripping with sweat. After stretching their joints, they wouldn't get injured easily for the rest of the training.
Li Xiang noticed that the total number of trainees had decreased a little, but now the mercenaries wouldn't whip the trainees for no reason. After the early stages of training, this group of people should be considered to have officially stepped through the door of Polar night.
That day's training was compact and extremely intense. Several low-sequence trainees were sent to the infirmary after vomiting. Li Xiang also felt a stronger sense of oppression. Although he was still far from his limit, it was clear that the training in Polar night wasn't static. Instead, it was constantly increasing.
At five o 'clock in the afternoon, Han Shi and Rocca both appeared at the training ground. The instructors of the six classes appeared one after another. They also brought along their respective magic circuit course teachers.
There were men and women, old and young, and their attire was different. Generally, university professors would wear the school's badge. Only Rocca was still in his simple style and didn't have a badge. Seeing this, the trainees had a premonition of what might happen next. One by one, they woke up from the fatigue of training, their faces full of anticipation.
Sure enough, the instructors of each class led their own people to the back of the training camp. It was a huge forest with many broken barbed wire fences outside. On the outermost edge was a stone tablet with the words "Forbidden Area" written on it.
A total of 156 trainees from the six classes stood quietly in line. The six instructors communicated with each other and announced the ranking of all the classes for the day. The class with the best results was Instructor Ge Wei's Class Two, followed by Han Shi's Class One, and the worst was Class Six. The instructor was a black man as tall as an iron tower. His expression was very bad. He swept his gaze over the trainees in the class. Those trainees lowered their heads in silence, their expressions fearful.
"Then I'll take my leave first, Old Demon Han." Ge Wei threw a flying kiss at Han Shi. Han Shi was so angry that he gritted his teeth, but there was nothing he could do.
The members of Class Two walked into the forbidden area one after another, while the other trainees stood in their military positions and waited motionlessly.
"It's been ten years. Why are you still at odds with her?" Rocca teased Han Shi from the side. He seemed to be very familiar with them.
Han Shi snorted and touched the stubble on his mouth with his hand. He sneered and said, "Deal with her? She and I will never be able to deal with each other. By the way, how is it? Is there any change in the order of our class? How are the talents of these little bastards? "
He spoke at the top of his voice in front of the trainees, as if he did not care about them at all.
"There is no change in the top four." Rocca took out the scorebook and glanced at it. He then paused and said with a smile, "How are their talents? Didn't you see their magic circuit test?"
Rocca practiced Tai Chi, and Han Shi did not bother to ask any more questions. He did not care about the results of these little bastards. There was no need. The results would naturally be revealed after time.
A group of people waited quietly under the hot sun. It was July, the hottest summer. The sun was like fire, and it was not comfortable to be exposed to the scorching sun.
Li Xiang was behind Kuang Tie. He was too tall and blocked everyone's line of sight.
After a few minutes, all kinds of shrill cries came from the forbidden area. There were both men and women, and they seemed to be in pain. It made their hair stand on end. They did not know what the trainees of Class Two had encountered. Even the usual harsh training could not force them to this extent. Now, they were crying and screaming in pain.
"Hehe, this sound is so nostalgic. When we first did it, I felt like my bones almost melted!" Han Shi sneered in a low voice. Rocca shrugged noncommittally.
After a few more minutes, Ge Wei led the trainees of Class Two out one by one. They were all sweating profusely. The girls used their hands to cover their chests and private parts so that they would not be exposed. Their prison uniforms were completely soaked and clung to their bodies.
"You guys are over time," Rocca said in a low voice as he and Ge Wei passed each other.
Ge Wei waved her hand helplessly. "Well, there are a few girls whose absorption efficiency is too high. You know what I mean."
Rocca nodded in understanding.
On the other side, Han Shi came to the front of the line.
"Okay, brats, it's your turn." Han Shi kicked Chen Fan, who had been staring at Ji Yanqing non-stop, in the butt. He laughed and led them into the forbidden area.
Rocca followed at the back. The trainees of the other classes were still waiting.
The air in the forest was fresh and comfortable. The dense foliage completely blocked out the scorching sun, making people feel relaxed and happy.
Han Shi brought them to the innermost area. They saw rows of small wooden huts. Outside the wooden huts was a small tank-like steam boiler. Countless metal pipes extended from the inside. Below them was a metal caterpillar. All kinds of gears of various sizes were embedded in the internal structure. Some of them were exposed and slowly turned.
Li Xiang used his X-ray vision to see that the inner wall of the steam boiler was wrapped around a standard test tube. The test tube was filled with a grayish-white gaseous Origin Substance. The test tube was connected to the main driving mechanism. There was also a large pipe that led from the boiler to the top of the wooden hut.
"This is the Origin Substance Decomposition Room. Even if it's a small amount of gaseous Origin Substance, our bodies can't directly absorb it. If we directly absorb it into our bodies, it will be more frightening than the most frightening poisonous gas. Unless it's one of those disasters, a human's flesh and blood won't be able to withstand such a large amount of energy. "
Rocca stood in the middle of them and explained, "Your bodies are like newborn babies. They're still very delicate and can only be absorbed through the Origin Substance Decomposition Room. Once you become magic apprentices, you can inject yourself through the Origin Substance Decomposition Room and absorb it. Remember to take off all your clothes in the room and then relax. Open all the pores on your body and try to absorb as much of the steam as possible. The steam contains gaseous Origin Substance. Wasting even a little bit is a huge loss. "
Following that, everyone in Class 1 entered the sefirah decomposition room according to their Sequence ranking. The sefirah decomposition room for High-Sequence Beyonders was further inside. Before entering, Li Xiang specially checked the steam boiler outside. Indeed, there were five standard tubes of gaseous sefirah.
He took off all his clothes and closed the door, quietly waiting for the steam to come out from the huge tube above.
Not long after, an ear-piercing roar could be heard from outside the room. The steam boiler slowly began to move. A moment later, the huge metal tube on the roof slowly heated up and turned red. Then, with a rumble, it spat out a stream of hot steam!
Logically speaking, such a hot gas should have been enough to burn him, but when the white steam came into contact with his body, apart from a burning sensation, there were no signs of injury.
He finally understood why the people in the second class had been shouting like crazy. After the steam hit his body, it slowly formed all kinds of strange feelings. Soreness, pain, numbness, and gradually deepened. It was as if a small knife was gently cutting at the skin all over his body. The pain seeped into his bones, making him want to leave like crazy.
Li Xiang gritted his teeth and endured. He couldn't dodge the steam; he had to absorb it all. The surrounding Origin Substance Decomposition Room was filled with howls of anguish. This kind of slow pain was far more frightening than the instructors' whips. After enduring for so long, his consciousness began to blur.
Just as he felt like he was about to faint, a clear aura suddenly rose from the bottom of his heart, as if something had broken out of its cocoon.
