Chapter 70 A Sleepless Night (At the Fifth Watch)
This martial training camp was originally for the training of Innate Realm warriors, and there is nothing here that is suitable for Mortal Heart Realm warriors to train in. However, Zhou Changlao didn't explain anything, allowing this misunderstanding to deepen, causing the Mortal Heart Realm warriors to hate the Innate Realm warriors so much that they wanted to kill them all and take their place.
On the fourth day in the afternoon, Su Ming waited in the courtyard for Elder Zhou to send someone to inform him to go to the Warrior Training Camp, but after waiting for a whole morning, no one came.
Su Ming originally went to find Su Wei, but he had no idea where Su Wei and his family lived, and the maids in the courtyard didn't know either, which made Su Ming's resentment towards Zhou Changlao reach its peak.
It's not that the maids don't know, but rather Old Man Zhou won't let them say anything. He doesn't want Su Ming to meet with other warriors alone because he's afraid Su Ming will ruin his plans.
In the afternoon, Su Ming was informed to go to the Warrior Training Camp. When he arrived at the camp, he found that only more than 20 congenital warriors had come, and not a single acquired warrior had arrived. At this time, Su Ming felt uneasy in his heart, it seemed that Zhou Changlao was going to make a real move, and there would definitely be a large number of deaths in the next few days.
"Do you know why I want to see you all individually?" Zhou Changlao said as he saw that the members of the Pre-Heavenly Squad had arrived.
At this time, the innate team members shook their heads as if they had discussed it in advance, and they really didn't know about the question asked by Zhou Changlao.
"I've called you two here separately to reduce the conflict between your teams. The past few days have already seen sparks fly between your two groups, and now the entire Fan Xinjing team is united in their desire to take you down. To avoid unnecessary friction, I've decided to announce the competition tasks separately today, so that you can calm down for a day and avoid any unnecessary conflicts tomorrow. You are both talented young men from within the Western City Prefecture, and you are both hopes for its future. I don't want anything to happen to either of you."
Zhou Chang Lao had a sincere expression on his face, and after he finished speaking, many innate martial artists cast admiring glances at him. However, in their hearts, they added another layer of resentment towards the Mortal Heart Gang. At this moment, they were already looking forward to tomorrow's task, when they could properly deal with those members of the Mortal Heart Gang.
"Tomorrow, I will take you to the Thousand Fantasies Swamp, where your two teams will have to complete three tasks. Whichever team completes the three tasks I assign first will get the opportunity to compete for the top ten strongest young people." said Zhou Changlao with a serious face.
"Zhou Changlao, which three tasks?" a congenital martial artist asked.
"The first task is to kill a group of fifty third-tier intermediate demon beasts, the second task is to kill three fourth-tier intermediate demon beasts, and the third task is to capture the only fourth-tier late-stage demon beast, Starlight Mink, in the Thousand Fantasies Swamp."
After Zhou Chang Lao finished speaking, the pre-heavenly boundary warriors looked at each other in dismay, their eyes revealing a hint of panic. Their strength was only enough to fight against early-stage third-tier demonic beasts, and it would be difficult for them to hunt down fifty mid-stage third-tier demonic beasts. As for killing three mid-stage fourth-tier demonic beasts, it was simply unimaginable, which was no different from seeking death. As for the last one, they were already at a loss, capturing demonic beasts alive being much more difficult than killing them, and it was still a late-stage fourth-tier demonic beast.
If they knew that this Starlight Mink was a demon beast with the bloodline of a divine beast, I'm afraid they would lose their courage to complete the task. A fourth-stage late-stage demon beast with the bloodline of a divine beast is almost as powerful as a fifth-stage demon beast, which is equivalent to a Tianling Realm warrior. Although they have 26 innate experts, most of them are in the early stages of innate, and facing a Tianling Realm warrior is almost powerless.
"Do you think the task is difficult?" asked Zhou Changlao with a frown.
As soon as Old Man Zhou finished speaking, everyone nodded in agreement without any hesitation.
"Are you not even comparable to the ordinary Heart Realm team? Both teams have the same task, and they didn't show any fear when receiving the task, instead they looked forward to defeating you." Zhou Chang Lao's face changed, seemingly very dissatisfied with everyone's performance.
At this time, the congenital team members' faces showed an awkward color. If the Fantian team took on this task, they had no reason not to accept it and no reason not to complete it. Otherwise, they would definitely be ridiculed by those warriors of Fantian, and when that happened, they would lose face all the way back home.
"Old Master Zhou, we will definitely be able to complete these three tasks." At this time, a congenital warrior spoke up, and after he finished speaking, many warriors also responded.
This warrior is the only one among them who has reached the middle stage of Innate, and in these few days, he has already had a faint aura of being the leader of the Innate realm. Many Innate warriors have taken him as their leader, while Su Ming, who is actually the strongest, has not been recognized by them due to his low-key nature and distant residence.
"I look forward to you successfully completing the task and achieving final victory. At that time, I will select the top ten outstanding warriors from among these twenty-six innate martial artists and reward them, while also giving them the opportunity to join the Spiritual Temple." Elder Zhou nodded in satisfaction and smiled as he spoke.
"What is a Spirit Palace? What does it mean?" asked the mid-term innate martial artist.
"The Spiritual Hall is the best place for young cultivators in Western City, after entering the Spiritual Hall, you will receive full training from Western City, giving you the best cultivation techniques, the best martial skills and the best weapons, allowing you to become a Heavenly Spirit Realm warrior in the shortest time." Elder Zhou said with narrowed eyes.
As soon as this was said, except for Su Ming, the other warriors were no longer calm. Just now they felt that the three tasks could not be completed, but at this moment they wished to go to Qianfan Swamp and hunt down the demon beasts immediately, with full confidence.
After seeing the desired effect, Zhou Lao left the Martial Artist Training Camp with satisfaction, leaving this group of Spring-filled innate realm teenagers in the camp. At this time, he was no longer worried that Su Ming would tell them the truth, because nothing could stop these teenagers now, not even death.
Su Ming looked around and shook his head helplessly, then let out a sigh.
Su Ming brought Su Wei into his small courtyard and handed him the Jingshen Dan, telling him to raise his power to mid-First Heaven tonight so that he would have a better chance of survival when they went to the swamp tomorrow.
The first two tasks, Su Ming wasn't worried at all because he could complete them by himself. However, the key was the last task. Zhou Changlong had spent four days increasing the hatred of two teams, definitely wanting them to go all out in the final task. At that time, facing 74 Mortal Realm warriors would definitely be a bloody battle.
The reason why Saikyō uses such a cruel method is that only by experiencing a true life-or-death struggle can one see the true potential of a young man, as well as their explosive power.
This night will be a sleepless night, one hundred young men, no one sleeps, they all look forward to the arrival of tomorrow.
