Chapter 314 Hiding the Edge
The gate of the training camp was opened, and the reservists helped each other to stand up, finally stepping into the threshold of mastering promotion resources with wounds.
After dividing the dormitories by themselves, the fourteen-day training began.
The living conditions in the training camp were not bad. The dormitories were suites with four bedrooms and one living room. Jiang Qian lived with Canyon Laoliu, Honghu Yufei, and Sky Ranger.
The first two were friends who had shared hardships, and Sky Ranger was like a "relative household" in between.
But he quickly found his position: "I have a strong sense of time. From now on, I will wake you up, eat, and take care of your daily life?"
Jiang Qian and others were naturally happy to be free.
For college students who are most familiar with dormitory life, this living condition can be called a luxury.
In order to maintain physical strength, Jiang Qian continued to fight wits and courage with the instructors. After the room was divided, he washed and went to bed early.
What he didn't know was that that night, he had once again become the subject of heated discussion among the reservists.
Such as:
"He was able to poison and repel eight ancient beast pets by himself. What a powerful talent! No wonder the instructors were so angry!"
"Haven't you heard? Qianlong Wuyong offended the chief instructor. He will be in trouble when he enters the graduation arena."
"The hot weapon matrix is also very big! And the tree princess Senxi, she is the goddess of many powerful people, the legendary daughter of heaven! She actually obeys Qianlong Wuyong's words..."
"Is it because of the "Children's Paradise"? Princess Senxi was trapped for two years and was only freed after Qianlong Wuyong passed the level. She was somewhat grateful."
"Is it just gratitude? A hero saves a beauty, a talented man and a beautiful woman, tut tut, it's hard to say!"
"You have to be lucky to enjoy the flowers and the moonlight, right? If he offends the chief instructor, I can hardly imagine how he will survive in the future..."
"Yes, Qianlong Wuyong is very intelligent, but when it comes to the stage of armed confrontation, he may not be the opponent of the instructors. ”
……
Compared to male compatriots, female reservists discussed topics more freely, and the angle of discussion was mostly praise from the angle of charm!
Of course, this charm includes the wisdom of dealing with crises and the feeling of being in a spring breeze when dealing with people.
In their view, although Qianlong Wuyong has not had the opportunity to officially "take action", the claim of "weapon weakness" in the forum rumors is no longer meaningful.
……
The next day, the promotion training course was officially launched.
The training is based on life science theory, covering real-time information collection, organization, interpretation skills, the mutual complementation and restraint between different species, various solutions to face the beast king, etc.
The systematic and high-intensity training system, from rich theoretical knowledge to practical application scenarios , everyone's schedule is full.
During this period, the instructors also changed their strong and domineering attitude on the day of entering the camp, and spared no effort to transform their personal expertise and devote themselves to teaching.
What surprised the reservists secretly was that Jiang Qian's performance was unexpectedly humble and low-key.
Whether in class or in private contact, both sides maintained a subtle distance, neither confrontational nor close, but close and distant.
It seemed that both of them were struggling secretly.
Jiang Qian really had no time to think about those things. The agreement was there and would not disappear. He was very busy now, very busy.
He had to attend classes during the day, which consumed both intelligence and physical strength.
After dinner, he had to accept the special "supplementary meal" arranged by the official Ten Clans.
This led As a result, he had almost no extra entertainment except for replenishing food and sleeping to restore energy.
But this also gave Jiang Qian a more three-dimensional understanding of the real promotion ceremony.
For example, he could get a clear idea of the opponents he was likely to encounter from the list of free organizations and casual cultivators and intelligence provided by the Scale Clan, Deep Sea Clan, and Feather Clan that might participate in the promotion ceremony each year, and be on guard in advance.
Those death lists and distress intelligence that could not be publicly displayed to other powerful reserve forces also became Jiang Qian's most valuable warnings.
For another example, the martial arts experts stationed by each of the ten clans also taught Jiang Qian some key warnings that were not known to outsiders based on the characteristics of their own clan, so as to avoid any accidents in Jiang Qian's competition for the King of Cards and the King of Domains.
And Jiang Qian's super learning ability also The dignitaries who were teaching on site were amazed to varying degrees.
In addition, there was also high-level confidential information about the existing beast kings.
Jiang Qian finally learned clearly that the eight beast kings that he "knocked down" that day were actually docile species that had been "restricted" by powerful priestly props.
The beast kings encountered by the dignitaries in the promotion ceremony might be more than ten times more ferocious than them.
Of course, the beast king is already an "extraordinary test question". After all, when it comes to the actual promotion stage, Jiang Qian can introduce foreign aid through the special channels of the evolution copy, and the foreign priests or dignitaries will help suppress the ferocious beast king!
There is a drawback here.
That is, once foreign aid is introduced, the beast king that is mainly subdued by foreign aid will be difficult to succumb to the candidate himself. If it fails to be tamed, it will eventually be killed.
If you really want to completely tame a beast king and make it your own pet, you must try your best to subdue it with your own means.
All of the above are being carried out in secret and in an orderly manner.
In the process of reasonably receiving resources, Jiang Qian neither had any possible conflicts with the instructor team nor got too close.
This principle of getting along also applies to his communication with other powerful reserve forces.
Until the end of the training camp, the final assessment is coming!
It will determine the ownership of the final resource package, that is, who will participate in the promotion ceremony and who will not be promoted this year.
The assessment is divided into written test and martial test.
The written test is just as the name implies, and the martial test refers to the arena confrontation.
Jiang Qian has never been afraid of exams since the accident in his childhood. But for many other reserve forces, it is a bit difficult!
Especially for reserve forces that have been away from the school environment for a long time, the pressure of the written test is even greater than that of the martial test.
Coincidentally, a few days before the exam, the island ushered in a rare storm.
This somewhat affected everyone's sleep quality and mood, and a few reserve players even caught a mild cold.
Super-species players can also get sick, but most of the symptoms are mild, and they will recover quickly even if they don't go to the doctor.
...
On the day of the exam.
"Ahem, get up, brothers, prepare to eat, and then take the written test... cough cough."
Air Ranger urged them to get up and poured himself a cup of hot water to relieve his cough.
Honghu Yufei walked out of the room rubbing his hair, standing in front of the window and lamenting the bad and changeable weather at sea:
"It has been raining for several days, right? As an authentic northern man, I'm really not used to it."
"Yes, although it's harmless, the noise is really too loud, and I can't sleep at night."
At this time, Canyon Laoliu had also put on his clothes and walked out of the room yawning.
"Is that because your hearing is too strong?"
Air Ranger sniffed his nose and laughed and teased.
"Haha, that's right!"
"What about Qianlong Wuyong?"
Several people looked at Jiang Qian's closed door.
Sky Ranger said confidently: "He didn't come back here last night. He must be in special training?"
Honghu Yufei frowned slightly: "Really?"
"Yes, ahem, he often...eh? Yufei!"
While Sky Ranger was talking, Honghu Yufei had already approached Jiang Qian's door and knocked, and then tried to break in.
Fortunately, his behavior was successfully stopped by Sky Ranger.
"What are you doing?!" Sky Ranger said in surprise.
Canyon Laoliu also came up: "What's wrong, Yufei?"
"No, I just suddenly felt that it was a bit strange that he did special training the day before the exam and didn't come back all night. Maybe I was too suspicious..."
Honghu Yufei said, patting Sky Ranger on the shoulder, indicating that he didn't care.
The sixth old man in the canyon said, "Qianlong Wuyong is the designated candidate, why are you so nervous?"
The three of them did not delay and quickly rushed to the examination room.
As soon as they entered the room, Jiang Qian was already in place, chatting in a low voice with the tree princess Senxi who sat next to him.
Seeing the two of them talking happily, the sixth old man in the canyon and the sky ranger laughed, laughing at the fact that Honghu Yufei was worrying about nothing.
There were still lightning and thunder outside the examination room.
"Rookies, take your positions!"
Examiner Da Wanghua walked into the examination room with two deputy invigilators and announced the official start of the examination.
Like any ordinary written test, the promotion written test between super-species players was conducted in a quiet and orderly environment.
But it was not without highlights.
For example, when the examination time was just halfway through, Jiang Qian stood up and handed in the paper, and in response to Da Wanghua's questioning, he said that he had checked the content many times and was really bored, so he wanted to go out for a breath of fresh air.
Immediately afterwards, Princess Senxi also stood up and handed in the paper.
The two left the examination room in public, leaving behind a group of backs that the reserve soldiers could not catch up with.
And hot topics!
The male compatriots who regarded the sweet and lively Princess Senxi as their goddess were all lonely, while the female classmates who worshipped Jiang Qian were either sad or excited:
The genius who is rare in ten years, Qianlong Wuyong, who controls the super-species mutation healing technology, and the tree princess Senxi with a distinguished background and extraordinary talents! Is it a beauty and a hero who are in love, or a love that ended without a result?
Some people immediately gossiped about the reason why Qianlong Wuyong offended the chief instructor: It seems to be because of a girl?
After a closer look... Yeah, the real girlfriend!
So the sense of separation appeared.
The man who offended the chief instructor in order to save face for his girlfriend, but secretly "flirted" with another girl with a distinguished background?
Isn't this the behavior of a scumbag?
After the written test of that day, Jiang Qian did not return home again that night.
Jiang Qian did not show up at the martial arts test venue until the next day, just before the test began.
The storm at sea was not over.
Outside the martial arts test venue, there was a continuous gusty wind and heavy rain from time to time, making the atmosphere of the final exam of the promotion training particularly tense and depressing.
"Master? Ahem, you didn't go back to the dormitory yesterday... Are you very busy with business?" Even the time management master Sky Ranger came to inquire about the news.
"Yes, I'm in special training." Jiang Qian said concisely.
...
"Silence!"
On the ring, the female instructor of the battle axe, Da Wanghua, read out the rules of the martial arts test:
The martial arts test is divided into the first and second halves.
In the first half, the reserve players will draw lots to form a two-on-two promotion match and compete within a fixed range.
The chief examiner will score each reserve player according to the specific technical content of the competition, and finally select the top ten to enter the second half of the "extra test".
The second half of the extra test will select the best through the form of "ring round-robin battle" to become the champion.
In addition to the obvious advantage of obtaining promotion props and resources, the champion will have priority over the regular dignitaries of the same class or even previous classes in terms of job appointment and dismissal after successful promotion.
In short, comprehensive comments, but the winner takes all!
With the announcement of the rules, the on-site lottery began.
Everyone was nervous or looking forward to who their opponent would be, only Jiang Qian was at ease, as if it didn't matter who the opponent was.
As a result, the PK object in the first round was Senxi.
As soon as this result was announced, it immediately attracted great attention from other reserve forces and instructors!
The female instructor of the battle axe, Da Wanghua, who was standing on the stage, was also slightly surprised, and couldn't help but sigh: How come the two strongest people of this session were drawn together in the first round?
Most of the instructors in the backstage also focused on the group of Jiang Qian and Senxi.
"It's incredible, the ability of Princess Senxi of the Tree Clan is not something that ordinary three-state fusion bodies can contend with!" An instructor exclaimed.
"Hey, you actually used the word 'ordinary' to describe Qianlong Wuyong?"
"Speaking of which, this guy has been hiding his strength during the entire training camp. Who knows if he is really capable or really incompetent..."
This was just heard by Da Wanghua who came down from the stage. She sneered and expressed her opinion:
"I am more inclined to believe that Qianlong Wuyong is really capable, otherwise he would not have the confidence to challenge Lao Bai. He hid his strength during the training camp, probably to avoid exposing his means and wait to show his skills in the martial arts test."
"It's a pity that his opponent is Princess Senxi. If he faces Senxi, the more capable he is, the more dangerous he will be..."
Da Wanghua has never mentioned to others that as a member of the Tree Clan, she admires and fears Princess Senxi of her own clan.
And the reason why Princess Senxi was once famous and obsessed with many heroes of the ten clans was not in vain.
Jiang Qian is not the only one who hides his strength.
Outside the martial arts test venue, thunder was still rolling outside the window, and dense raindrops were hitting the walls, doors and windows.
Inside the venue, dense cameras suspended in the air recorded all angles and processes of the martial arts test.
The 40 reserve players who have remained from the training camp so far were numbered in groups and took the stage one by one to prepare for the battle.
The pace was faster than expected.
Bai Wuhen sat in the chief examiner, and his peripheral vision was paying attention to Jiang Qian's location.
Jiang Qian sat calmly in the waiting seat, and his opponent Princess Senxi sat next to him. The two even communicated about the PK process of other reserve players. They seemed to have a harmonious and relaxed relationship.
This relaxation came from strong self-confidence and determination.
It seemed that Jiang Qian had no concerns about the risks he was about to face.
This reminded Bai Wuhen of his meeting with Jiang Qian in special training a few days ago.
At that time, Jiang Qian could be impartial with him and abide by the rules and etiquette as if the conflict that day had never happened.
At the end, he said to him in a subtle "arrogance": "Then we can also solve our problems on the stage."
"Result of this group: Canyon Lao Liu wins! The specific score will be announced later."
The instructor's loud announcement interrupted Bai Wuhen's thoughts:
"Next group: Qianlong Wuyong, Senxi!"
As the martial arts test progressed, Jiang Qian and Princess Senxi finally stood up from their seats at the same time.
In full view of the public, they walked to the two ends of the martial arts test stage.
…
