It was half past five, and it was still dark outside the window.
Lin You has made all preparations and is ready to go out at this moment.
At six o'clock, it's time to officially set off.
Before that, everyone in the advanced class must gather at the Welcome Square.
From the villa area to the square, it only takes about half an hour to walk there normally.
Soon, Lin You went out.
Since it was still early, I didn't see many people on the road.
It wasn't until we got closer to Yingxin Square that it became lively.
Nearly a hundred people were already standing in the square, most of whom were students in the advanced class.
Others came just to join in the fun, but they got up so early.
In addition to these students, there are also some teachers and school leaders. Among them, the one with the highest position is Vice Principal Xia Yan, Xia Mu's father.
I don’t know if I will come to this training camp.
In addition, there was a strange young man wearing the white uniform of the Duelist Association.
Maybe he was the instructor in charge of this training camp.
Many students were discussing in lowered voices.
They seemed very excited to guess the identity of this strange man.
After all, it has been almost four months since I entered the school and I have been locked away in the school. Although the school life is rich, and in this era where information is so circulated, it cannot be said to be isolated from the world.
But I still miss the outside world. I haven’t been out for a long time!
Not all freshmen are like Lin You. After entering the school, they have the experience of going on missions.
After all, the entry level has to be advanced class students.
Then, the second-year ranking students have to take the initiative to invite them. These ranking students refer to the top fifty on the rising star rankings.
The number of freshmen who meet both conditions may only be in single digits.
For some students who are not well-known, even if they are advanced class students, few people will invite you.
Therefore, many people have been holding back their feelings, and this time is just an opportunity to vent.
"Hey, Lin You."
As soon as Lin You appeared in the square, someone shouted his name in a hurry. The person calling was Guo Rui.
This guy is not bad. In the end, he still maintained his reputation as a student in the advanced class.
Otherwise, I would probably cry if I just break in and get kicked out right after.
There was still some time, so Lin You was not in a hurry and walked over slowly, "How long have you been waiting? What happened here just now?"
"It didn't take long, only about twenty minutes."
Guo Rui's face was red and he was obviously in a good mood. He smiled and said: "It will be six o'clock in a few minutes. Principal Xia may say a few words later. After that, the Duelist Association member should take us away.
.”
"Listen to what you said, the teacher of our school will not follow you this time? Just hand us over to the other party?"
"That's right."
Guo Rui nodded and said: "Not only us, but other colleges and universities are the same. When we get to the training location, it's all up to the instructor's command. You can train as you want. I already have a picture of a devil instructor who won't stop.
to carry out devil training on us."
Speaking of this, he said somewhat tragically: "I don't know if I can handle it this time. I'm really being tortured to death. Where can I reason with you?"
"Are you scared?"
Lin You joked: "Aren't you trying your best to get into the advanced class, and are you still afraid of being punished? Besides, it's not like going to a secret realm. No matter how ruthless the instructor is, it's not the same as a secret realm. At most, it's not the same thing.
If you're half disabled, you don't have to worry about dying."
"..."
Guo Rui was speechless. After a moment, he gave a thumbs up and said, "Lin You, you are amazing."
What else can I say?
When Bancan said it from his mouth, why did it sound as normal as eating and drinking?
However, he quickly added: "But this time, it seems that we are not going to a secret realm. I don't know if there is any other suitable location or a secret training base?"
"Not surprisingly."
Lin You said leisurely: "Isn't this linked to the Duelists Association? It would be easy for the people from the association to arrange a suitable training area."
Apart from anything else, there was nothing wrong with the warning area that I and Hua Peiling went to before to take a break and use it for special training of students.
Of course, due to the intervention of dark duelists last time, Lin You was not sure what the original situation of the mutated cave was, how dangerous it was, and how difficult it would be to conquer.
But at least, someone as powerful as Hua Peiling must be treated with caution. If one person is allowed to go in and take risks alone, probably no one in the advanced class will come out alive.
For a training camp, it would be good to challenge them in small groups.
Lin You made random guesses, but it was extremely unlikely that the training location would be in that warning zone.
After all, it is a special area, and it is linked to some tasks, so we will not just let so many people pass there.
The training location is more likely to be a secret area controlled by a duelist association.
At this time, six o'clock arrived.
All the students who were supposed to come have also arrived.
Without checking anything, Xia Yan said loudly: "Everyone, from today until the 12th of January next year, it will be the day when you, together with outstanding students from major universities in Jiangcheng, start training. The so-called training is actually
It is a process of growing together and competing together, and those participating in this training camp are all top freshmen from each school."
"It is no exaggeration to say that what they represent is exactly the face of their respective universities. Which ones are strong and which are weak will be revealed without leaving any room during this one-month training period. And this is an absolute self-examination.
This is a great opportunity to test where you stand as a new student in this city and how much you weigh."
"In the eyes of outsiders, you are all geniuses. Many people can't match them, and you are the object of envy from the bottom of their hearts. But they all say that birds of a feather flock together, and when many geniuses gather together, those seemingly dazzling lights may become
It dims in vain, because someone is emitting a stronger light than you, covering up your existence. This is called someone outside the world. Only those who can stand out from many geniuses are truly worthy of this title."
"This is also the meaning of this training, to help you further understand yourselves and to tell you how long the road is still there. Maybe not everyone can gain motivation from the examination of reality, but if you can't even bear this blow,
, who has been unable to recover since then, I think the strong man’s pass will not favor such a person."
Speaking of this, Xia Yan looked around at the people in the square and said loudly: "For Jiangcheng University, and for yourselves, don't let anyone look down on you. When you were young, you should have some wolfish nature, and you should challenge your limits.
Learn to force yourself, now is the age of hard work. Only by giving your best can you have a youth without regrets."
Xia Yan kept talking, and everyone listened carefully.
A more dazzling light stands out from many geniuses!
Win glory for the university, win glory for yourself, and gain reputation!
Many people's blood boiled when they heard it, and they secretly clenched their fists.
After all, they are still a group of young people in their prime.
Let me ask, who doesn’t want to surpass their peers, shine with the most dazzling light, and become the beam of light that amazes everyone?
Even if our abilities are limited now, it is not too late. We have just stepped out of the starting point. Some people left late and some left early.
But the distance we have traveled now does not mean it will be fixed in the future.
Who can easily determine a person's future and prospects?
Principal Xia is right, now is the time to work hard!
Some students who were originally a little loose-minded and even planned to take advantage of this training camp to relax for a few days immediately gave up their 'fun' thoughts.
Why relax? Relax, it's just that you got good grades in school and put in some effort, but what does that count?
Compared with people like Zeng Xi, Wan Yibin, and Deng Zhuo, aren't they just scum?
Not to mention Xiao Yi and Xia Mu.
As for Lin You, let's forget it. It's not a matter of working hard or not.
Even if you practice 24 hours a day, it may be difficult to catch up with others.
That's a BUG that needs to be classified separately!
If you want to surpass him, you shouldn't rely on how hard you work or how good opportunities you encounter. You can only rely on others who are actually squeezing your potential. Your magic power is almost blocked and it will be difficult to make progress in the future.
Otherwise, wake up!
…
"In this training camp, our school will not have any instructors who are casual. In other words, in this training camp, you only need to fully follow the instructions of the local instructor and complete each training content according to his standards and requirements. After the training is over, the school will
Someone will be sent to take you back to school."
After talking for a while, Xia Yan mentioned the final precautions.
As for this, the students in the advanced class had already heard about it and had no special reaction at this moment.
Even if we didn't know it in advance, nothing would happen.
It’s a training camp anyway, and it doesn’t matter whether the school sends people to follow you.
It's not like we are really going to a dragon's den or a tiger's den. The instructors for the training are also members of the Duelist Association. No matter how hard they train, they will not eat them.
"Okay, I'll trouble you, Instructor Chen."
After explaining what he wanted to say, Xia Yan looked at the man from the association.
But the man from the association waved his hand and said politely: "What are you saying, Principal Xia? I'm just a 'driver'. It's Senior Jia who's in trouble. Well, that's not right. If it's that senior, he's really in trouble."
, it’s these kids.”
At this point, there was a little pity in his eyes.
"You can become a better person by enduring hardships. Young people should also endure some hardships."
Xia Yan said calmly: "It is easier and more efficient to grow through hard training. This is also a great blessing for them."
The man from the association just smiled and said nothing more. His eyes suddenly turned and landed on an open space in front of him.
The next moment, magic suddenly emerged.
The turbulent and powerful aura spread, a mechanical shadow shattered, and the next moment, a bright red summoning light shone.
The moment they saw this light, all the students' eyes widened.
This is...the red star monster?
Not only that, this is a summons without any sacrifice, that is to say, a special summons!
Directly special summon the red star monster?
Is this the strength of the association members? They clearly look young!
Boom!
A slightly dull loud noise spread, and a tank-sized mechanical monster appeared!
This mechanical monster is generally blue in color, with crawler drives on both left and right sides. Directly in front, there is also a crawler loaded into steel armor.
It looks like a mutated tank, except that the top of the tank is a mechanical head with sensors, and there are two thick outer armors on both sides of the tracks.
How do you look, how domineering!
Especially combined with the fierce aura, just feeling this aura made all the students tremble with fear.
This is where you can experience the power of the Red Star Monster up close!
The aura of the Red Star Monster is not only a deterrent, but can actually evolve into a real means of destruction!
Of course, I am restraining myself now, otherwise I might accidentally shock a student to death on the spot.
It was an unjust and depressing death.
Although he died in the hands of the powerful Red Star Monster, he was not beaten to death, but was blown to death by a breath. That was not much different from being smoked to death by a strong man's fart!
"That's awesome. Is this the world of the strong?"
Guo Rui sighed in admiration when he saw it, and his eyes shone with longing.
Lin You was better. After all, this was not the first time he sensed the aura of the red star monster at close range.
However, the yearning is for sure!
Who doesn't long for one day to step into the world of the strong, stand high on the Duelist's Pyramid, and look out at the endless scenery below with contentment?
At this time, Guo Rui sighed for a while, and then said: "But what does this mean? Do we have to rely on him to take us out? There is not enough space no matter how you look at it, right?"
"really."
Lin You nodded, also a little confused.
Many students are like this.
But the man from the association smiled and said: "Everyone, we are ready to set off. Now we can come up in an orderly manner. Just ten people at a time will do. We will walk to the mechanical fortress, which is this monster. There is no need to think about anything else."
Just go by like this?
Don’t consider anything else?
Many students felt strange, but some quickly followed suit.
Anyway, that's what I said, why do you think so much?
Soon, ten students lined up and stood in front of the mechanical fortress.
Click click click~
A slight mechanical noise was heard, and the mechanical fortress opened its hands, one with each hand, and grabbed two students.
Immediately afterwards, the back of the fuselage flipped over, and a cabin opened.
Throwing the palm away, one student went in. Throwing it away again, another student also went in.
Then repeat this action.
Not long after, all ten students entered.
The students were even more surprised. If they were thrown in like this, they wouldn't be squeezed to death, right?
real or fake?
"Hurry, don't waste time!"
At this time, Xia Yan's urging came, and the students took action again.
There are still ten people.
The mechanical fortress also moved very quickly. Half a minute later, these ten people were properly placed.
At this time, the students thought of something.
The space inside this mechanical fortress is probably somewhat special and has expanded a lot.
Otherwise, judging from what can be seen with the naked eye, it is already difficult to carry ten people, let alone twenty people packed so casually.
There is obviously plenty of space.
"Let's go."
Lin You didn't look again, patted Guo Rui on the shoulder and walked over.
Guo Rui was also in a hurry to keep up.
The mechanical fortress is still one palm, and the work is mechanized, but it is extremely efficient.
Now, it was Lin You's turn.
Let the other party grab you, the force is just right and there is no discomfort.
With a flick of the mechanical hand, Lin You was thrown into the cabin.
After a moment, he landed.
What came into view was a large and elegantly decorated lounge.
The space is big enough.
There are at least hundreds of chairs placed in the entire lounge, with a certain distance between them, leaving plenty of room.
Sure enough, there is an independent space inside the mechanical fortress.
It's quite magical.
But this is a Red Star monster after all, so it has some special features, so that makes sense.
"Is the space so big?"
Guo Rui, on the other hand, couldn't help but exclaim, "Could this be the awakened space skill?"
"Space skills?"
This time, it was Lin You's turn to be surprised.
I thought this was the innate ability of the Red Star Mechanical Monster, but after hearing what Guo Rui said, it was also linked to space skills?
Space skills are quite rare.
Lin You is not completely unfamiliar with this.
Very early on, I watched some card-themed movies.
Some powerful space skills can really break the space!
Although it is a movie effect, in this world of cards, Lin You can guarantee that reality is probably more exaggerated than illusion!
As for the mechanical fortress, if this is a space skill, then it should be a separate space, right?
It’s also very strong!
"should be."
Guo Rui nodded and said: "Although this is my first time to experience it personally, I have seen many related competitions where strong people compete. There are also people there who can use similar skills. I didn't expect that the instructor looked quite young.
With such strong strength, he deserves to be a duelist of the association."
Speaking of this, I couldn't help but ask: "Do you think he is the instructor in charge of our training this time?"
Lin You shook his head without thinking, "Obviously not."
"Why?"
"Do you still need to ask? This training camp is not specially carried out for us. Some news has also been revealed before. This training camp is not conducted in batches. It is mostly done by one person. The strong ones also have the energy. Since
There is only one person in charge, so why would he come to our university to pick someone up? How shameless are you? Jiangcheng University may really have such a shameless attitude, but it is not appropriate at this time to just take someone else's word for nothing."
"That's true."
Guo Rui is not an idiot. After a little reminder, he figured it out.
He didn't say anything more and muttered, "I don't know how long it will take to get here. I was too excited last night and didn't sleep well. I'm still a little sleepy now."
Just as he was talking, there was suddenly another noise outside.
There's quite a movement!
Looking around, all the students who should have come in have already come in.
Obviously, the mechanical fortress is activated!
The noise lasted for a while and soon calmed down.
Everyone sitting inside could not feel any movement or vibration.
“Comfortable!”
Guo Rui was quite satisfied and stretched out. This chair was not bad. Although it was not a soft seat, the backrest was well designed and tilted horizontally, making it quite relaxing.
Immediately, he lay down and said lazily: "Lin You, why don't you take a rest? What awaits us at the end of this journey may be hell on earth, so let's try to enjoy it for a while now."
"hell?"
Lin You smiled and wrote lightly: "Isn't that just a way to relieve the boring life? I also have some days where I can't move my muscles."
"Ahem, sorry, I almost forgot, you are a monster, you can't be compared to us."
Guo Rui also suddenly remembered this.
It was really because of Lin You that every time he was silent, it lasted quite a long time.
But if you show up again, you will always get some big news that shocks people's hearts.
This time, there may be no exception!
At this moment, such thoughts emerged strongly in Guo Rui's mind.
hell?
Who knows.
Perhaps for this kind of real monster, hell is his paradise, right?
