Star Hunter 064 Rocky Mountain Duel

  "Oh dear, now that you mention it, I remember that guy from over a month ago saying he'd come sign up the next day? I was still waiting for him to come and pay his respects, but there's been no sign of him till now," Arthur said.

  Thomas put down the dinner knife in his hand, tilted his head and thought for a moment "To be exact, it was 36 days ago that the irregular identity documents were destroyed, or was it the college data I helped him look up..."

  "That's strange, I haven't heard about the academy recruiting new students for a while?" Relok said thoughtfully, pushing his coffee cup with his finger "A talent personally guaranteed by the Second Princess and General Kupfer, now that's someone I'm interested in..."

  Thomas thought for a moment, then opened the terminal next to him and started searching carefully. But ten minutes passed, Thomas was shocked and said "What the hell? How did this person called Wu Chang suddenly disappear?"

  Three heads squeezed together, staring at the holographic screen in front of them. Indeed, there was no information about Wu Chang in the search bar for new students in the college, and even when Thomas broke into the background system of the college, he did not find any trace of the existence of the name Wu Chang.

  Lei Luo suddenly became interested "Really? There's indeed a mystery here, how can a living person disappear out of thin air?"

  "Shall we investigate this matter further?" Arthur asked.

  Lei Luo thought for a moment and shook his head "Forget it, let's talk about everything after the summer training camp. I heard that our class is going to represent the school in the competition, so let's not make things more complicated than they need to be."

  Lei Luo's words were light, but his heart was already boiling. This matter was really too strange, someone actually dared to lay a black hand on the Ice Dragon Academy, and even erased the talent recommended by the Second Princess. The conspiracy behind this must be unimaginable.

  Although I am the heir of Viscount Left Bank and respected on the planet Left Bank Paradise, when it comes to the entire empire, especially the struggle between the two princesses, I don't even count as a fart.

  Everyone present was smart enough to naturally shift the topic to the upcoming summer training camp, also known as the summer martial arts competition, which would take place in ten days.

  On the Left Bank of Paradise, there were countless military academies and training camps of all sizes, from the lowest infantry to special forces, armored combat troops, including space battleship schools. It was precisely because of the numerous academies and training camps that resources were allocated unevenly.

  Every school thinks it's the most important, everyone wants to get the biggest piece of cake in the imperial budget, involving core interests, and no one is calm. At the end of the year, the Ministry of Finance on the Left Bank of Heaven Star and the offices set up by the Imperial Department will be surrounded by hundreds and thousands of principals and bosses.

  Soldiers' quarrels often end in fights after a few words, and after countless violent conflicts, the military finally came up with a solution - to hold a 10-day wilderness survival competition in the Rocky Mountains every summer, with funding allocated for the following year based on the final ranking.

  The summer tournament rules of the Rocky Mountains are very simple. First, a preliminary selection is made among countless academies, and each school recommends a group of five people. Among the tens of thousands of schools on the planet, 100 teams are selected first. After the selection match is over, the tournament officially enters the Rocky Mountains.

  The military had buried 100 medals in the Rocky Mountains ahead of time and distributed the coordinates to each team. After the competition started, there were ten whole days for these teams to search, whether you went to explore in person or robbed from others. As long as you handed in the most medals in the end, you would be the first place.

  "This year with Leiluo leading the team, our Ice Dragon will definitely still be first place. Do those poor schools think they can compete with us?"

  "No kidding, last year Da Shuai led the team to first place, this year with Zuo An Nan Jun leading the team, it's even more of a sure thing"

  Lei Luo waved his hand "Stay calm, don't make a fuss, after all this is a public place. As for this martial arts competition, although we are confident of getting first place, but in preparation we can't relax, in tactics we must pay attention to the enemy's..."

  Then, the three of them got together and started determining the members of the five-person group.

  At the same time, in the dilapidated Black Horse Training Camp, a thrilling arena match was being held on the playground. The selected players from each class not only had to compete for the qualification to participate in the summer training but also for the 3000 gold coins prize.

  "Brothers, our Black Horse has not won a single medal for three consecutive years, and last year we were even more shameful, failing to qualify for the mountain and being eliminated by others in the preliminary round... This is a shame, a huge shame..."

  On the edge of the arena, Instructor Iron Fist's loud voice never stopped "This year I personally quarreled with the big boss, and only then did this 3000 gold coin reward come out. As the saying goes, 'heavy rewards must have brave men', today I want to see what your true strength is like..."

  "Let's all show our spirit, even if we lose, we must still show our spirit..."

  Accompanied by the sound of iron fists, there were the sounds of flesh colliding on the arena, Meilin had already won three consecutive games. The thrill of victory stimulated the members of Sanban to shout wildly one after another.

  Mei Lin's hands moved like knives, cutting through the air in a strange arc and striking the neck of the person in front of him. The enemy, caught off guard, was knocked out by this single palm strike and fell to the ground, unconscious. Mei Lin had finally achieved his fourth consecutive victory.

  "Who else is not convinced......" Mei Lin gazed coldly at the disciples below the stage, although he was already covered in scars, his waist remained straight. Although Mei Lin had won four consecutive matches, his opponents were not pushovers either. During the battles, Mei Lin's left eye was beaten to a pulp like a panda's, and his right ribcage also suffered a severe impact, almost breaking his skull.

  Offstage, Lu Li was furious and jumped onto the stage, using his body to block Meilin. "You trash down there, you've all been calling me a rice bucket, haven't you? Well, now the rice bucket is standing right here, letting you hit him. I'll see who dares to come up...". As he cursed, Lu Li also pushed Meilin off the stage.

  Lü's provocation enraged the soldiers below, and a three-section warrior jumped onto the stage, charging forward without saying a word and entangling himself with Lü.

  Lu's strong point is his strength and endurance, but agility is his weakness. As soon as he gets entangled with the small but agile warrior in front of him, he is suppressed by the quick and nimble opponent. A flurry of fists rains down on Lu's body, pounding him mercilessly.

  At this time, there was a burst of boos from the audience, and countless people began to mock Lu Li: "Stupid big guy, hurry up and get off the stage. You've been beaten into a sandbag, but you still don't want to leave with dignity?"

  The provocation under the stage did not anger Rourou, because everyone did not know how perverted Rourou was. The enemy's fist, like a stormy rain, seemed to him as if it were scratching an itch. When he saw his opponent's loophole, he actually used his left arm to hold down his opponent's arm, and with a single move, he threw his opponent off the stage.

  "Who else doesn't accept this?" The robust Lu Li was recklessly showing off his muscles on the stage, and in a short while, two more opponents were thrown down from the stage by him. One of them unfortunately hit his head against the wall and fainted on the spot.

  Today's third shift was a big explosion, changing the usual low-key, under Meilin's leadership, they took turns on stage, within three hours, 22 opponents were defeated, shocking thousands of soldiers in the city who didn't dare to come forward.

  At this time, in a corner of the crowd, Stick Brother, with a face full of resentment, stared at Mary on stage and muttered, "What's wrong with you all today? Did everyone from Class 3 get chicken blood or did they smoke too much mist? Even this broad is on stage?"

  Unfortunately, no matter how much Gang Ge scolded, he couldn't change the momentum of Sanban's overwhelming victory. Because earlier, Meilin, Luli and Qianxun had already taught a lesson to many three-stage warriors in the camp, now Mary's opponents were all some primary and secondary stage warriors, this kind of strength was purely for her to practice with.

  When Mary knocked down a reckless beginner martial artist, the younger brother next to Stick Brother couldn't help but say "Boss, are we just going to watch Sanban go crazy? Let's get on stage, take advantage of them being injured now and give them a good beating. This is a great opportunity for revenge..."

  The proposal under his hand only got a big slap from the stick brother "Dizzy. What are you going to do? Do you want to participate in the summer martial arts competition? You really want to be a soldier, huh? Damn it, I'll send you to the front line tomorrow."

  "Remember, our goal is to select talent for the boss, not to go to the front line and fight with the hunting team."

  Here is the translation:

  "Speaking of which, Brother Stick glared at Mei Lin, who was applying an ice pack to his face by the ring, and cursed in his heart: "You stinky little brat, I humbly went to recruit you, thinking you were a talented person. But it turns out you're not giving me any face. You'd rather go to the front lines to be cannon fodder than accept our boss's charity. Are you really trying to die?"

  "Hehe, maybe you still have a dream of being an officer in your heart? Unfortunately, with me around, none of your dreams can come true."

  Thinking of this, Stick Brother turned his head and left the playground, too lazy to look at these three-class members who made him disgusted.

  In the short three-hour confrontation, all the strong players in Class 3 took to the field, ultimately silencing all dissenters with a record of 28 consecutive victories. However, Wu Chang was not among the warriors who took to the field.

  To be honest, I don't understand why Merlin is so desperate. This low-key and ordinary him has changed too much. Isn't his dream just to go to the front line, get a little glory, mix for half a year without dying, and then return home with no disabilities, take the imperial retirement fee, and then be a small police officer or something?

  Isn't this peaceful life his ideal? Why is he so abnormal today. In the end, it was Mary who stepped down to help Wu Chang enlighten him.

  "Mei Lin told me to tell you that after the summer martial arts competition is over, he will have money to pay you back. He also said to reassure you that those 1,100 gold coins will definitely be returned to you without a single coin missing."

  At that moment, Wu Chang suddenly became furious and grabbed Mei Lin's collar, scolding him loudly when the third shift returned to their dormitory.

  "You think you can just look down on me like that? You three classes think you can push me out?" Wu Chang raised his fist, ready to punch Mei Lin at any moment, but when he saw Mei Lin's silly-looking head, he couldn't bring himself to do it.

  After struggling for half a day, he didn't hit him in the end, but just pushed him to one side. He himself sat on the edge of the bed and sighed, asking "Why? Why did you do this?"

  "No reason, I just don't want to owe you a favor. I can owe these poor brothers a favor because I can pay them back, but your favor I won't be able to repay." Meiling said calmly.

  Wu Chang was speechless, he had never considered himself a superior person, what was there to be proud of as a miner from Huang E Star? But today's performance by the third batch of students made Wu Chang very depressed, he felt like there was a huge boulder stuck in his chest.

  Just as a lone figure was standing on the rooftop blowing in the cold wind, Nurse Mary walked over and handed him a bottle of beer.

  "I know you're puzzled, but the truth is that everyone's distance from you doesn't come from the money in your pocket, but rather from your outstanding identity. If you can't explain this clearly in one day, then we won't be able to accept you."

  "You're an outstanding talent with a powerful fire element attribute, you should be going to the Ice Dragon or the elite academy that specializes in training war armor combatants! Why are you coming to this crappy place like Black Horse?"

  "There are too many unreasonable things about you, so much that we don't dare to get close to you." After saying that, Mary patted Wu Chang's shoulder and turned back to sleep, leaving Wu Chang alone in the cold wind.
