Chapter thirty-seven: temptation before the decisive battle
At dusk, when the setting sun was dying, Li Tianlan walked into Sky Academy again.
Three years later, the inside of Sky Academy does not seem to have changed much, but the atmosphere inside has become more tense and intense than before.
The final exercises for this session of both chambers will begin a month later.
That is the battlefield for young geniuses, but for some people with insufficient credits, it is also the last chance.
This term of Sky Academy officially started in early September three years ago.
The final exercise will be a month later at the end of July and last until September.
Sky Academy and Deep Sea Academy suspended classes one month before the final exercise.
For the teachers of the two special warfare academies, in the last two months, they must complete the assessment of each student's combat effectiveness and comprehensive quality, formulate their career direction after graduation, confirm the students' personal intentions, and calculate their
Credits are then summarized and reported to the leader of each course group.
After the team leader confirms that the students' information is accurate, they will sort and summarize the students according to their level of credits and career direction, and divide them into civilian and combat categories.
Civilian positions include tactical staff, torture, intelligence collection and analysis, electronic intrusion and other categories.
The combat position is much simpler. Based on their daily performance and the comprehensive evaluation summarized by the teacher, their future development direction can be easily determined.
At the very least, it is unlikely that true sharpshooters and students who are good at close combat will be assigned to the same department.
After the course group leaders sort out the categories, each course group leader will gather together for a meeting to discuss and put students in the same category together to form a final list.
The final list is submitted to the Teaching Office.
The Teaching Office will grade the students in the categories that have been sorted out based on their credit levels.
Those with the highest credits are at the highest level, and they will definitely enter the most elite departments after graduation. The difference in credits in the same level directly determines the difference in salary after graduation.
This so-called treatment refers to everything such as military rank, level, and resources received.
After the education level is determined, the final list will be forwarded to the Political Department.
The Political Department will interview the leaders of the liberal forces in the college who have formed before graduation to confirm the future plans of their respective forces.
If the internal structure of the free forces is stable and no one is willing to quit, the members of the free forces on the final list will be picked out individually, and their names will be simplified into the names of each force.
Finally, a list of students and forces was formed.
The Political Department will hand over two lists to the principal.
The principal convened a meeting with senior executives with the title of curriculum group leader and above in the college to discuss and grade the two lists.
The list of the most elite level will be submitted directly to the cabinet and Kunlun City by the principal after the meeting.
The second-level lists are recommended to various sensitive departments in the name of the Special Warfare Academy, such as the General Staff, the Ministry of Security, the Shadow Force, the Border Guard Corps, etc...
Those at the next level are crammed into special operations departments in various places.
This process is very complicated, but extremely rigorous. Therefore, except for a small number of students who do not have enough credits to graduate and those who voluntarily stay in school after meeting the conditions, everyone else will receive a more appropriate arrangement.
For students, the month before the final exercise and the month before are also top priorities.
Everyone will adjust their own state and try to destroy the opponent's state as much as possible.
The final exercise lasts for a month, from individuals to teams, involving various courses. Every victory or defeat, advancement or retreat, every increase or decrease in credits will be enough to affect the students' future life path.
So it is no exaggeration to say that the final month of the exercise was a contest of strength and wisdom.
The month before the final exercise was a contest of conspiracy and trickery.
The only thing the two contests have in common is cruelty.
You will die and I will live until death.
The academy will not stop such a competition, because in the final analysis, it is still competition.
Although such competition may seem extremely cruel and vicious, it is the most common thing in the dark world.
Gu Youlan's decisive battle with Li Baitian.
This is just the beginning of this series of contests.
The decisive battle takes place at the No. 1 training ground.
The time is a quarter past six in the afternoon.
There are still fifteen minutes left before the decisive battle.
But the training ground was already crowded with people.
There are even some people who are obviously not teachers and students of Sky Academy.
Military uniforms, plain clothes, camouflage, and crowds all mixed together, making it look extremely lively.
Li Tianlan stood on the periphery of the crowd without any sense of presence, but there was no surprise in his heart.
This time period is when there are the most people in Sky Academy.
Every student is thinking about his or her future future.
The various forces in the Central Continent Special Warfare System are also looking for the talents they need.
The Special Warfare Academy is no longer closed. It is completely open to the Central Continent military and special warfare system. Any department can come here to recruit talents. Negotiations are free and the academy will not interfere. However, after the negotiation is completed, a report must be made to the academy.
Be prepared, this is also the only condition.
Li Baitian, Gu Youlan.
Not only in the Sky Academy, but also in the entire Central Continent, the younger generation are also at the peak of their fighting power. They may not be as stunning as Wang Shengxiao and Gu Hanshan, but as long as they grow up, they will definitely have a style that cannot be concealed in the future.
, such a character will naturally interest many powerful departments.
Moreover, this battle can be said to be the prelude to the formal competition between the younger generation of Central Continent before the final exercises of the two houses. No matter from which aspect, this battle has been given too much extraordinary significance, and it will naturally trigger unexpected events.
s concern.
Time passes bit by bit.
There are more and more people around the No. 1 training ground.
Li Tianlan stood quietly in the crowd, looking at the empty high platform of the No. 1 training ground, waiting silently.
I could hear the chatter of the crowd.
Discussions came from all directions, and one sentence after another reached Li Tianlan's ears.
"Zhenwu Shi is definitely the Taixu Sword Master...Tsk, tsk, what do you think of this battle?"
"I'm optimistic about Gu Youlan. After all, he is a disciple of the Invincible Realm. Shushan... is still a bit weak."
...
"The Taixu Sword Intent is still stronger. It's not that it's really stronger than the Zhenwu Shijue, but Li Baitian is the Taixu Sword Master, and that is the most suitable sword intent for him. His performance should be slightly stronger than that of Gu Youlan.
"
"Gu Youlan is already in the stable stage of Thunder Realm, and his realm is slightly higher than Li Baitian."
"Li Baitian must die!"
...
"The four major forces of the younger generation... I thought they would stage a real battle between dragons and tigers during the final exercise, but if something happens to Li Baitian today..."
"They still have potential. But they are missing a truly dominant leader."
"That's true. Among the four major forces of the younger generation, Three Thousand Realm has Jiang Shangyu, Yingying has Song Ci, and Jileifeng is a little weaker, but the relationship between Gu Youlan and Three Thousand Realms is not a secret. On the other hand, look at Donghuang Palace.
..I heard that Song Ci seriously injured Xu Chu in Tiannan some time ago. If Gu Youlan kills Li Baitian today, the Donghuang Palace will not have top combat power."
"Actually, there is. If His Highness can come back..."
"That person...has been missing for three years, right? In fact, it's a good thing not to come back. Rumor has it that he made a big break and started over. No matter how fast his progress is, he will never be able to return to the same state he was in Tiandu."
"That's why I feel it's a pity. If that person had grown up normally, he would definitely not be weaker than Wang Shengxiao."
"So what? If that's the case, maybe the three major forces will attack the Donghuang Palace together. If the tree is big and attracts the wind, there won't be a second result."
"The results are similar now, right? Originally, the three major forces attacked the Donghuang Palace together. This was just to block the Donghuang Palace from the final exercise."
...
"Three Thousand Worlds... already has more than 40,000 credits. After the practice, I don't know if I can surpass the 100,000 credits of Donghuang Palace."
"The difference is sixty thousand, are you kidding me?"
"Jilei Peak also has nearly 40,000 credits. If Three Thousand Worlds can sweep all the way to the final exercise and get a lot of credits, then there is still hope to merge with Jileifeng and surpass the 100,000 credits of Donghuang Palace."
"Even if it's not enough, there is Youying. Youying's credits are almost the same as Three Thousand Realms. Song Ci will definitely not be able to let Donghuang Palace develop smoothly. She seriously injured Xu Chu some time ago and has already made her attitude clear."
.......
"It's really a pity that Donghuang Palace could come back..."
"What will happen if we come back? If a useless person can go to heaven in three years, will he still be able to go to heaven?"
"A useless person? Oh, if the genius of Zhongzhou is a useless person, then who is not? The genius of Kunlun City? Or the so-called genius of Beihai?"
"That bullshit genius of Zhongzhou. If he hadn't abandoned his martial arts back in Tiandu, how could he be that strong? It's a joke."
...
Discussions came intermittently from different directions.
Li Tianlan listened expressionlessly without making any unnecessary movements.
Everyone's discussion was very clear, and at least he knew something.
The Three Thousand Realms founded by Jiang Shangyu, Jileifeng founded by Gu Youlan, and a man named Song Ci seriously injured Xu Chu and also established the Shadow Organization.
Together with Donghuang Palace, these are the four major forces of today's young generation.
The other three major forces seem to want to unite to surpass the credits of Donghuang Palace.
There are still many people hoping for his return.
Li Tianlan twitched the corners of his mouth.
No matter what the mentality of those who want him to come back is, Li Tianlan is not prepared to disappoint them.
He stood quietly in the crowd, but the noisy crowd seemed far away from him.
He just stood there, not hiding deliberately, but his illusion did not arouse anyone's thoughts.
The bell of Sky Academy rang.
The sound of the bell is deep and distant.
The melodious bells swept through the entire training ground and spread outside the training ground.
A faint blue arc suddenly lit up at the edge of the training ground.
The arc spread in the air and hit the high platform of the No. 1 training ground.
The space above the high platform distorted without warning.
A tiny, almost dull lightning suddenly took shape in the twisted space.
The color of the lightning is subtle and dim, and seems to disappear at any time.
But the vague and mysterious sword intent enveloped the entire high platform in an instant.
The electric light that rushed towards the high platform spread instantly.
Dense light floods everyone's vision.
And the dim lightning on the high platform became increasingly dim.
The misty sword intent continues to condense.
The lightning seemed to gradually disappear, and a sword shadow with a subtle blue light suddenly appeared in the air.
The melodious bells continued to spread.
The subtle sword shadow and the spreading electric light were instantly intertwined.
The wind suddenly picked up in the field.
A straight and dazzling blue lightning appeared in the sky and the earth.
Crazy thunder echoed in the sky after the lightning, shaking the surrounding areas.
Two vague figures were separated in the spreading light, and fell towards the high platform below, which was mixed with a large amount of alloy and appeared to be extremely solid.
The light gradually dissipated.
The figures of Gu Youlan and Li Baitian stood at both ends of the high platform.
After a brief tentative confrontation, neither of them gained any advantage.
"cough..."
An old cough suddenly sounded.
Zhuang Huayang, the dean of Sky Academy, appeared on the high platform.
The old man was listless and seemed a little listless.
Gu Youlan and Li Baitian bowed to the old man at the same time: "Principal."
Zhuang Huayang nodded casually: "Are you all ready?"
"I'm OK."
Li Baitian's tone was calm.
Li Tianlan in the audience frowned slightly. Looking at Li Baitian's pale face, his eyes became colder and colder.
Li Baitian was injured.
And the injuries were not minor.
Then why did he agree to this decisive battle today?
"I don't have any problem either."
Gu Youlan said softly.
"very good."
Zhuang Huayang nodded. Before his figure disappeared, he looked at Li Baitian intentionally or unintentionally, and then said: "Then let's get started."
