The truck roared as it sped through the wilderness. This time, Li Xiang and the others were not blindfolded to confuse their senses.
He and Ming Xu sat side by side. The container was filled with the smell of blood and medicine. Several Polar night trainees were with them. Their clothes were dirty and messy. It was obvious that the mission had been difficult. Many of them were frowning. It seemed that they had failed the mission.
Everyone was silent, and the atmosphere was tranquil. A faint sense of sadness spread through the container.
The mission was the only standard to test the results of their one month of training, but not everyone was as strong as Li Xiang and the rest. Many of the trainees who took the risk never came back, and even if they did, they were crippled.
No one spoke.
When the truck arrived at the gate of the Polar night training camp, Li Xiang found that he was the last batch to return. Trainees from various classes stood sparsely on the training ground. Most of them looked dispirited and listless. There were very few of them, only about 50 people left.
Was this the total number of people who returned safely?
The elimination rate was really high.
Li Xiang and Ming Xu returned to their respective classes. The people they were familiar with were there, but there were also many faces that they would never see again, such as Ji Xue.
Kuang Tie, who was at the front of the line, stood upright. He had become a lot stronger in the past month. His muscles were clearly defined, and his expression was gloomier. When Li Xiang walked past him, he suddenly raised his head. His eagle-like eyes stared straight at Li Xiang's face. He did not hide his killing intent.
Li Xiang did not pay attention to him. He bumped fists with Chen Fan, who was grinning beside him. Everything was understood without words.
The returning trainees from the six classes stood in military posture, quietly waiting for the instructors' instructions. Han Shi and Ge Wei stood together. Their faces were solemn as they stared at the gate of the training camp not far away. Li Xiang did not see Rocca and the other course instructors.
After a while, the roar of a heavy pickup truck came from the gate of the training camp. The truck sped all the way into the training camp and stopped in the middle of a group of trainees and instructors.
The instructors immediately stood at attention, leaning on their feet as they stared straight at the pickup truck. The door of the car opened, and the energetic chief instructor stepped out of the car. This time, Li Xiang could see his epaulette clearly. It was a bright falcon, a major general!
Those who could reach the rank of general in the military were at least players. They also had to have a lot of connections and experience in the military. It was clear that the chief instructor was not a simple guardian.
The old man strode forward, sweeping away the lazy aura he had when he first appeared. His eyes were like a wolf, sizing up the trainees one by one.
When he scanned Li Xiang's body, he clearly felt an unknown probing force inspecting his body. His body trembled, and the chief instructor also made a sound of surprise. Then, the chief instructor looked at him deeply but said nothing.
After a round of inspection, the trainees felt as if they had just fought another fierce battle. Exhaustion surged through their bodies like a tidal wave. A few of them almost couldn't stand still.
The chief instructor returned to the line of instructors and waved at them. A group of people went into the side of the building.
Only the trainees and mercenaries were left in the empty training ground. The atmosphere was a little anxious. Everyone knew that they had gone to discuss the results. Whether or not they could go to the second phase of the Polar night training depended on this!
A month of hard training was about to see the results. Many people had mixed feelings in their hearts. Li Xiang, on the other hand, was very relaxed. People like them who were in the top four shouldn't have a big problem. He looked at Kuang Tie's back. This guy was his biggest enemy at the moment.
After a while, Han Shi came out of the building with a thick stack of documents.
"Ahem, now I represent the Polar night training camp to announce the list of people who have been selected for the second phase of the training. Before I announce it, I have a few points to say." Han Shi cleared his throat. The trainees' uncontrollable excitement reminded him of the past. "First, the results will not change because of any factors. No objections. Second, the trainees who are not selected should get out of here immediately. Unfortunately, you will not have the opportunity to get the player qualification. Of course, you are also very lucky. Compared to those little bastards who died, at least you are still alive. Third, after leaving the Polar night, you are not allowed to mention anything about the Polar night anywhere at any time. You are not Polar night people. In the future, you are free to do whatever you want. We will not interfere. But at the same time, if anyone dares to get involved in anything related to the Polar night again, hehe … Fourth, the trainees who are on the list should immediately come out and wait in the building! "
"Do you understand?"
"Understood!"
Han Shi nodded with satisfaction and began to read the names on the list. "Class One candidates: Li Xiang, Kuang Tie, Chen Fan, Atsushi Amakusa; Class Two candidates: Ji Yanqing, Dong Ling, Ming Xu, Ai Yakumo; Class Three candidates: none; Class Four candidates …"
As the names were read out one by one, the more than fifty trainees clenched their fists slowly loosened. Some were happy, some were sad, but no one showed the slightest expression on their faces.
In this month's Polar night training, they had already evolved from ignorant candidates to experienced magic apprentices. Even those trainees who did not make it into the second phase of the training had already been booked by some forces. In the future, they could still enter a high-quality university and become a group of people who walked at the forefront of their peers.
A total of twelve people were selected, and they entered the building with envious eyes. The rest of the trainees watched them gradually disappear into the shadows, feeling that the possibility of them meeting in the future was almost zero.
The building was like a terrible demon, opening its mouth to devour them one by one.
But that was hell, and also heaven!
Since coming to Polar night, their goal had never changed — to graduate smoothly, obtain the player's qualification, and enter a player's university!
And now, only these twelve people had the chance to move forward.
Li Xiang walked into the dark building with the other eleven trainees. This was the first time he had come to the instructor's building. The decoration inside was not much different from the trainees' dormitory. Han Shi, who led them into the building, walked in front with a pile of documents. At the end of the corridor, there were two rows of benches. The row on the left was already full. There were also twelve people, wearing white prison uniforms, sitting opposite them.
What a strong sense of oppression. Li Xiang frowned. The twelve people were obviously trainees, but he had never seen them before. Most of them had gloomy faces and lowered their heads in silence. They did not pay attention to Li Xiang and the others who were walking over.
"Ha, Old Demon Han, long time no see." A strange voice sounded in the corridor. At the end of the left bench stood a tall and thin man, who looked like a clown in poker cards.
Han Shi rolled his eyes at him and ignored him. He gestured for Li Xiang and the others to sit on the right bench. There were twelve seats, corresponding to the trainees on the opposite side.
It was mentioned before that they were from the first training camp. It seemed that the opposite side was the second training camp. Li Xiang suddenly understood. No wonder the first four in each class were relatively superior. Six classes meant twenty-four people, and the second training camp had a total of twenty-four places. The top twenty-four in each training camp were indeed the strongest competitors if there were only two training camps.
Sitting across from Li Xiang was a girl with a flamboyant personality. She stood out among the trainees. When she raised her head and saw Li Xiang, she smiled wantonly and placed her hands on the back of the bench. Then, she looked at Li Xiang with a half-smile.
Han Shi and the clown instructor walked into a closed meeting room. After the door was closed, the girl suddenly stood up and extended her right hand to Li Xiang.
Li Xiang looked at her in confusion. The girl pushed her fair hand a little closer to him, as if she wanted to shake his hand.
"Hmm?" Li Xiang lowered his head and looked at the ferocious white dragon on the back of her hand. He remembered that mark very clearly. Bai Yuhan and Bai Shanshan both had it on their bodies. It seemed to be a mark that belonged to the Bai family.
Ye Tong left because she had the same mark on her chest.
Li Xiang instinctively felt disgusted and repulsed by the mark, but he still politely reached out to shake her hand.
"My name is Baimiya, and I'm here to kill you." The girl giggled. She suddenly exerted strength in her hand. In that instant, her strength was no less than Li Xiang's. Before Li Xiang could retaliate, she immediately pulled her hand back.
Baimiya? Another member of the Bai family?
Li Xiang's face gradually darkened. Baimiya didn't seem to care about his expression. She whistled and returned to her seat. The trainees on both sides of her intentionally avoided her body. This woman's smile gave people a feeling of extreme danger.
The younger generation of a large family like this either came from a branch family far away or came from the top of the ranking list to experience life. Because of their background, it was easier for them to unite people on the Polar night. At the same time, it was also easier for them to make enemies.
When she said the word "kill", Ming Xu's hand that was playing with the Origin Energy gun suddenly paused. Her situation was similar to Baimiya's. The two girls quickly looked at each other. Their similar auras made them feel uncomfortable when they looked at each other. A moment later, the two of them looked away. However, in their hearts, they had already placed the other person on a list.
Occasionally, the sound of fierce arguments could be heard in the meeting room.
Inside the instructor's meeting room.
The two factions at the round table were about to explode. The head instructor, who sat in the middle, smiled but didn't say anything. He watched them argue and argue.
"Han Shi, you came at the right time! Hurry up and persuade the head instructor. He's actually planning on using that for the second phase of training! " Ge Wei stood up from the other end of the round table. She was particularly conspicuous among the group of male instructors surrounded by smoke. The meeting table was scattered with the information of the twenty-four trainees selected for the second phase of training. Many of them were already crumpled.
Han Shi, who had just walked into the meeting room with the clown instructor, was a little confused. However, when he heard the word "that", he immediately shuddered and subconsciously looked at the old man sitting in the middle.
The old man looked at him with a smile and said, "Little Stone, come and sit down. Let's discuss whether my proposal is reasonable or not."
The so-called "that" was a training method that the head instructor had conceived at the beginning of the Polar night training camp. Because it involved the teaching of magic circuit materialization, it had always been opposed by many investors. This was a course that should only be taught in universities. At this moment, it was compressed into a month of training. The requirements for the trainees were too high!
Moreover, the learning of magic circuit materialization was different from the previous training. Not only did it consume a lot of resources, but it was also extremely dangerous.
"This, this is for the head instructor to decide." Han Shi, who had always been grumpy, was unexpectedly shy. He would only show this side of him in front of the head instructor.
Ge Wei glanced at him speechlessly and discreetly gave him the middle finger.
"I have no objection to the head instructor's proposal, but the premise is that the two training camps cannot be mixed." A young instructor patted the round table and said coldly. He reached out and grabbed a few documents, among which Li Xiang's information was also on the list. "If this pile of trash is in the same group as our people, wouldn't it be too convenient for them?"
"What do you mean?!" Han Shi was immediately unhappy. He saw Li Xiang's information at a glance. To be honest, he was most optimistic about this trainee. Even though Kuang Tie had awakened six magic circuits, and Li Xiang was only awakened by death, he was still more optimistic about Li Xiang.
Han Shi was naturally unhappy that the person he was most optimistic about was directly denied.
"Nothing. Look at the evaluation of his mission. He is too soft-hearted. Without any high-level bloodline, his future achievements are destined to be limited. This is common knowledge. Look at our training camp's Baimiya. She is a real genius. " The young instructor was not afraid. He pulled out Baimiya's information and threw it at the top, which soon attracted the amazement of a group of instructors.
"Fine, if you don't want to draw lots together, then don't. Let's wait and see whose people are the trash." Han Shi laughed coldly and suddenly said to the head instructor, "I agree with the use of the 'Twelve Zodiac' training plan!"
"I agree too!" The young instructor was not to be outdone and raised his hand at the same time.
The head instructor smiled and nodded. He reached out and pressed down slightly. The noisy instructors' conference room was instantly deserted.
"The minority obeys the majority. It's settled then."
