Inside the large amphitheater of Jiangzhong Junwu.
Among the principal-level Professor Shan Hai, Ning Zhiyuan and Cheng Qingqing, who are currently ranked first and second and were voted by all Jiangzhong military students, are standing on the podium.
There are three other Shanhai professors sitting in the first row.
In the large lecture theater, in addition to these five professors, there were also nearly 300 military and military students gathered.
There are about 70 or 80 freshmen, and the rest are sophomores and juniors.
When the clock on the wall pointed to a certain node, Ning Zhiyuan, who had been closing his eyes to rest his mind, suddenly opened his eyes.
"Quiet."
The faint voice was not loud, but the entire lecture theater fell silent instantly.
And Cheng Qingqing had already picked up the chalk and wrote four big characters on the blackboard: beautiful yet sharp.
"Nine-day battle!"
The expressions of the students present were visibly subtle.
Many people clenched their fists excitedly and couldn't help but talk about it.
"Sure enough, I guess we were summoned just for this matter..."
"It's almost there. Other schools have released their list of contestants one after another, but Jiangzhong Junwu has not made any move. We only have less than half a month to go. If we don't select people, it will be too late."
"So, the people here are the elites of our military. Hey, no wonder my roommate looked at me strangely when the assistant coach came to inform me."
"Strange, why don't I seem to see Shen Qian? He can't be here, right?"
"It's true, could it be..."
"Shh!"
Someone noticed that Ning Zhiyuan's expression had become cold and quickly reminded him.
Everyone quickly shut up, and then Ning Zhiyuan spoke calmly.
"Many students have guessed it, so we will go straight to the topic without making any detours."
"Fourteen days later, that is, January 11th of the new year, will be the day when the 'Nine Days' begins. As the largest college competition in recent decades or even longer, we, Jiangzhong Junwu, are the nominal first team.
Wu, of course, cannot be absent."
"I would like to thank all the classmates for their support in selecting me and Professor Cheng as the tutors for this team."
Warm applause and whistles sounded, temporarily interrupting Ning Zhiyuan.
When the applause stopped, Cheng Qingqing lazily took over the conversation, "The first thing today is to form the Jiangzhong Military and Military Team."
"Everyone knows that the 'Jiutian Cup' is actually an event divided into two units. The 'Jiutian Cup' is held every year. The rules this year are similar. Freshmen from all colleges and universities still form a team of ten to participate in the competition.
."
"There are five regular players and five substitutes. They compete in a circular manner. The winner takes all."
"There are eighty-three freshmen in this classroom at the moment. You are all geniuses selected by professors from various subjects. You will all go to the physical examination hall with me in a while. You will have to challenge each other to determine the nine best choices.
Quota..."
When Cheng Qingqing said this, there was a commotion where the freshmen were gathered.
"What's wrong?" Cheng Qingqing raised her eyebrows.
"Um...Professor Cheng, why are you competing for nine places?"
One boy stood up bravely and asked after hesitation.
There were a lot of echoes around, obviously many people had similar questions.
More than eighty people competed for ten places, with a ratio of almost ten to one. It was already extremely cruel, and now that there was naturally one less place, everyone was naturally unwilling to do so.
Those who can enter the Jiangzhong Army are geniuses above the baseline, not to mention those gathered here at this moment are geniuses among geniuses.
Naturally, no one wants to miss an opportunity like the "Jiutian Cup" to show off.
"What else could be the reason? Why don't you look at who is not here?"
Yue Dakan, who put his hands behind his head and stretched out comfortably on the chair, yawned.
Everyone was startled, and after looking around each other, they gradually came to their senses.
"Shen Qian?"
Someone whispered the name in everyone's heart.
Obviously, the reason why there are only nine places is because one of the places has been directly reserved.
"Why..."
A girl subconsciously wanted to question, but her mouth was immediately covered by the classmate next to her.
"What are you doing?" the girl asked her companion angrily.
"Axue, are you stupid? Don't look at the people in the first row and say nothing. Why are you trying to be the first person?" said the companion with a bitter smile.
The female voice calling Axue was startled, looked up, and then suddenly stopped.
Yue Dakan, Ye Shicong, Geng Qianqiu, Zhao Keyi, Xiao Ye, Shangguan Ting...
Those sitting in the first row are all influential figures in Jiang Zhongjun's freshman year, truly unparalleled geniuses.
If they don’t even have an opinion, others will indeed have no confidence.
The people in the back were talking a lot, but the geniuses in the first row who they looked up to were also a little discouraged.
But their reasons are different from those in the back row.
"Old Ye, have you really asked?" Geng Qianqiu confirmed again.
"Well." Ye Shicong said impatiently, "Professor Cheng said it himself yesterday that Shen Qian was just a substitute this time. Originally, he was not willing to participate in the 'Nine Heavens Cup'. The school directly gave him a place out of insurance.
."
"Mom, I feel so complicated!" Zhao Keyi exhaled a breath and said helplessly, "I don't know whether I'm angry at the school for not believing in us, or because I'm angry at that bastard for not looking down on the Jiutian Cup at all."
Zhao Keyi's words can be said to accurately describe the feelings of several people.
From the time they entered school until now, they have been living in the shadow of Shen Qian, and they are almost in bad shape.
Finally, the "Nine Heavens Cup" was held, and everyone was very excited. They were waiting to shine in front of the people of the country and vent their depression during this period.
The more hidden psychology is...
We also want the world to know that there is more than one Shen Qian in Jiangzhong’s army.
It's fine now. Shen Qian is not ready to play with them at all.
The meaning of not participating in the "Nine Heavens Cup" is obvious. Shen Qian is completely focusing on the Nine Heavens Competition!
Even though several of them are obsessed with self-confidence, they also know that for them now, the Nine Heavens War is just about participating.
"I'm really curious about Shen Qian's strength. Maybe I can finally see it this time..." Shangguan Ting murmured.
Seeing that after the freshman students digested themselves for a while, no one raised any questions, Cheng Qingqing continued.
"As for the sophomores and juniors, there is no limit on the number of places in the nine-day competition for the main event, so I have called you here mainly to allow you to participate in a ten-day training camp."
"The curriculum is created by the principal himself..."
Cheng Qingqing was talking on the stage, but Qu Bai, who was not far away from the stage, was a little distracted.
Shen Qian...did you ask for leave again?
"Qu Bai, what did Shen do so mysteriously the day before? It seems that he won't even participate in the training camp hosted by the prince. He must have some shady secrets!"
Feng Manlin pinched her smooth chin and thought.
Qu Bai didn't answer in a hurry, he just turned his gaze to the window, fixed on a flaming cloud at the end of the sky in the far distance, and then smiled.
"At our level, who doesn't have some secrets?"
……
Under the clouds as thick as flames, a young man with a bright face and three-dimensional features is sitting cross-legged on the top of the mountain.
On all sides of him, six black standard formation flags were planted, forming a ten-meter-square vacuum zone to block out the violent spiritual energy and extreme weather.
Shen Qian withdrew his dazed gaze from the flaming clouds, and then glanced at the special compass in his hand.
Damn it... I seem to be lost again!
Shen Qian is unwilling to admit it, but it seems to be true.
Because according to the "Advanced Restricted Area Manual", this special weather called "Lihuoyun" seems to be exclusive to the Second Province of Shannan.
In other words, I should have gone east, but I have deviated for the third time in one day, but this time I have veered to the west, which is equivalent to going completely in the opposite direction.
That’s outrageous!
I still remember that when setting off two days ago, Shen Qian asked Lao Liu for precautions in the restricted area. The other party once mentioned that nothing else is important, and the sense of direction must be the first priority.
Shen Qian didn't take it seriously at the time, but now his face hurts.
He regretted why he didn't bring Yuan You or Wan Ning with him.
Now think about it, during the two months when the certified hunter wandered in the restricted area, the reason why he never got lost was not because of his "extraordinary talent".
In restricted areas with chaotic magnetic fields, mental power does not have much effect, and the compass can only work in a certain area.
Shen Qian did ask for leave.
After settling the affairs of the military camp, Shen Qian went directly to Yu Shousi to ask for a short vacation, and agreed to meet the school team directly in the Magic City.
The Magic City is the venue for this Nine Heavens War.
It's not that Shen Qian really doesn't like the training sessions hosted by Wang Hou. After all, he hasn't listened to the teachings of the big brother Gao for a long time. Uncle Pingyang's guidance will definitely help him gain something.
The real reason is that... the energy of the system has almost dropped below 20%.
I tested the system's combat power last time, and the system immediately issued a yellow warning after the test.
Shen Qian directly asked for leave this time and planned to walk all the way to the Magic City. The main purpose was to find a suitable energy source.
Without the system, Shen Qian really lacks a sense of security.
The second purpose is to gain some experience.
Before setting off, Shen Qian went to Jiangzhou City. In addition to staying one night with Jiang Xuan, he also went to two places.
One was to find Master Gu and take away some special weapons he had asked him to build before. The other was to go to the Martial Arts Association in Jiangzhou City and take on a lot of messy bounty tasks in the name of the old team.< /p>
The route runs right through Jiangzhou to Shanghai.
At this moment, Shen Qian was extremely glad that he had done this.
There was no other reason. The mission scroll had a certain guiding role. Otherwise, after he got lost, he would have to find a way to contact Lao Liu and ask him to pick him up.
…That’s too embarrassing.
When Shen Qian was distracted, a beast's roar sounded, and an ape over two meters tall appeared outside the defensive formation.
This ape is all white, and if you look closely, you can see a few strands of golden hair on its forehead. The weirdest thing is that it is actually holding a three-meter-long metal stick in its hand, which is still shining with a faint luster.
A monster that can use psychic weapons!
If this happened to the outside world, I don’t know how many people’s jaws would be shocked.
"Great Sage, are you back from hunting?" Shen Qian raised his eyelids, then smiled and removed the defensive formation.
The white monkey in front of him is the emperor monkey that Shen Qian kidnapped in the psychic market.
It's embarrassing to say that Shen Qian really didn't take care of it after bringing it to Junwu. Most of the time, he let it fend for itself in the monster forest outside the school gate.
This time when he went out to practice, Shen Qian finally remembered that he still had a monster beast, so he simply brought the emperor monkey out with him.
It can be regarded as a chance to make up for the responsibility as the big brother.
But after seeing each other again, Shen Qian was really shocked.
Because they haven't seen each other for a month, the Emperor Monkey has actually left the infancy stage and entered the growth stage, already possessing the strength of the first stage of a high martial artist.
In addition, the opponent is extremely intelligent and can also use martial arts, so his combat power is not inferior to that of a warrior in the later stage.
Later, I was relieved when I got to know Shen Qian. Although Shen Qian didn't care, Wan Ning did not forget his duties and had been buying various elixirs for monsters and feeding them to the Great Sage regularly.
The growth of monsters is closely related to their bloodline, and there are not as many thresholds as human warriors.
Therefore, as long as the resources can keep up, the Emperor Monkey, whose talent is not bad, will naturally start to take off.
It became even more obvious after following Shen Qian in the past two days.
After all, Wan Ning had to be careful with his budget, while Shen Qian fed him whatever he had. In just three days, Shen Qian had already fed him elixir worth at least five million.
The golden hair on its forehead only grew in these two days.
Shen Qian is not sure what it symbolizes, but he only speculates that it is a precursor to some kind of bloodline evolution.
The upper limit of the corresponding growth of a T-level monster is the middle stage of a high-level warrior. If it can evolve to an S-level monster, it can grow to the peak of a high-level warrior.
This also makes Shen Qian somewhat gratified. He is destined to become a legendary man. If Ma Zai around him doesn't even have the realm of mountains and seas, how can he show his true character?
Dao Jiu, who had not appeared for a long time, was originally going to follow Shen Qian, but Shen Qian sent him directly to the military camp to temporarily serve as another vacant adjutant.
After all, Shang Zuo and others are not considered his own people, so Shen Qian is not at ease after all.
"%&#@..." After the emperor monkey jumped over, his body quickly shrunk, becoming half a man's height again, and then he rushed forward excitedly and started gesticulating.
"That's right...where did you hang the body?"
Hearing that the emperor monkey had killed its intended prey, Shen Qian touched its head to express his appreciation, and then asked.
"1800 meters...I know."
After the emperor monkey made a few more gestures and gave the detailed direction and distance, Shen Qian nodded slightly.
Then, he pulled out a huge silver metal box from under his butt.
The box was opened, and an assembled black and white sniper was lying quietly inside.
Shen Qian took out the "Shooting Sun" and set it up, lying on the ground and starting to aim, while the Emperor Monkey on the side also hid aside, waiting with bated breath.
This scene has been repeated more than ten times in the past two days.
Shen Qian knew that he was crazy. He was doing something that would make all sniper training officers speechless.
A newbie is actually practicing sniping in a restricted area!
Only a madman would do this.
Regardless of wind speed and direction, air pressure, temperature, or visibility, it can be called an irregular restricted area, and it is definitely a hell-level sniper difficulty.
But Shen Qian was mainly too lazy to follow the steps.
He also has his own confidence.
The common ace snipers among military warriors are generally not mountain and sea warriors. After all, this requires a lot of time to practice. With that time, the real genius will have already broken through the martial arts.
Therefore, Shen Qian is not only unique, but at least very rare to learn sniping from the ground up despite being a master of mountains and seas.
The dual advantages of mental strength and physical body allowed Shen Qian to directly set a higher starting point for himself.
After all, he doesn't have that much time to waste on guns.
Acting as an observer, he visually inspected the meteorological and geographical conditions of the target location. Shen Qian silently calculated in his mind and constantly adjusted the position of the gun.
After a while, Shen Qian finally stopped moving, and then his figure became completely still.
The next second.
Bang!
As Shen Qian pulled the trigger, the world around him suddenly trembled. A bullet that was ten centimeters long, burning with white flames, spun and disappeared into the air.
