“Even if I really need to find someone, I should find someone I know.”
However, he glanced at the classmates in the carriage and quickly shook his head helplessly.
With over two hundred people in this carriage, there wasn’t a single familiar face.
The others were probably assigned to different transport vehicles, and it was unclear if they would be grouped together after arriving at the destination.
Rejected by Lin Su, the boy’s eyes filled with disappointment, but he wasn’t too surprised.
Lin Su’s strength was much stronger than that of the other students.
For those elite Beast Tamers who had not mastered Guardian Beast Co-operation, the strength of their guardian beasts roughly equated to their own strength. Lin Su had two beasts, which meant he alone could match the utility of two teammates.
And both of his guardian beasts were strong.
Frost Flower Dream Shadow needs no mention; everyone had participated in the practical assessment and were deeply impressed by that visually stunning and powerful beast.
So, could Lin Su’s other dark-element beast, which hadn’t yet made an appearance, be any weaker?
They certainly didn’t believe it would be.
Thus, this boy’s initiative in inviting Lin Su was fundamentally driven by the desire to align with someone powerful.
If Lin Su had agreed, wouldn’t it have been a huge win?
Now that Lin Su had declined, they lost nothing and could still recruit another classmate into their group.
Five minutes passed quickly, and the newcomers in the transport felt a slight jolt underfoot before Li Hong emerged again from the cockpit.
“We’ve arrived. When disembarking, don’t swarm out. Though you haven’t been taught the military rules yet, forming two lines should not be too difficult, should it? Disembark in order!” Li Hong called out sternly, nodding slightly when he saw the newcomers forming two lines in the aisle and his gaze landed on Lin Su with a touch of complexity.
Knowing Lin Su’s identity, his initial perception of Lin Su as a troublemaker subtly shifted.
However, he didn’t show much expression and soon averted his gaze.
“Okay, let’s get off!”
…
The newcomers from Mountain City University totaled 4,000.
Among them, naturally, some were deterred by the 5% mortality rate or were indifferent to Guardian Beast Co-operation.
In the end, only about 3,200 agreed to participate and came here, accounting for approximately 80% of the new students.
These participants in the Co-operation Camp, two hundred per carriage, arrived here in sixteen floating transport vehicles. Now, as the vehicles neatly aligned and landed in a spacious area, the cabin doors gradually lowered into stairs, and the crowd disembarked, looking around curiously.
For the vast majority, this was their first visit to a military camp. After gradually overcoming their initial reluctance to engage in combat, they couldn’t help but grow curious, wanting to know what a military camp really looked like.
However, with exclamations arising, their gaze quickly uniformly swept past the border railing towards a distant area, looking like an intensely oppressive domain swirling with endless darkness, where blood-red light flared into the sky occasionally, stirring up the clouds.
The sunlight, not too harsh in the late morning, draped over them, bringing comfort and warmth. Yet, it contrasted sharply with the distant dark clouds.
Without needing much explanation from the instructors, they quickly realized what the daunting scene, never seen before and even from afar felt extremely terrifying, actually was.
The border front between the Yan Huang Alliance and the Dark Demon Immortal Country!
One by one, the instructors also disembarked from the transport vehicles after all students had exited.
Rarely, the instructors, who often emphasized strict military discipline in the camp, didn’t interrupt these students who were new to the camp at this moment, but just silently watched the dark sky.
Different from the shock of the students seeing this scene for the first time, each instructor’s eyes were heavy with a deeply ingrained hatred emerging after seeing the blood-red flares.
“That’s enough now.” After a while, as one instructor spoke up, the others nodded and called out to the students from their respective vehicles to gather.
Soon, over three thousand students messily stood in the middle of the field, forming a dense crowd.
Besides the sixteen instructors from the sixteen floating transport vehicles, other instructors had come during the time the students were observing the dark clouds and now stood next to the other instructors, assessing the new Co-operation Camp members, seemingly in search of promising candidates.
One of the instructors stepped forward, a light blue glow interweaving under his feet, and soon, a creature with a human-like upper body and arms, but a deer-like lower body, covered in light blue glowing patterns with huge branching antlers on its head and no facial features except for a single eye, stepped out of the void.
A Wood and Spirit type, lower-command species, Heart Connection Deer Spirit.
After summoning his guardian beast, that instructor spoke softly.
“One hundred people per combat team. You Co-operation Camp members have been divided into thirty-two combat teams. Now, I will read out the names of each member in each combat team in turn. Those whose names are called should follow the respective combat team’s lead instructor and orderly depart to your training area.” ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
Waves of invisible ripples spread from the body of the Heart Connection Deer Spirit, enveloping all the camp members, and at that moment, the instructor’s voice, no matter the distance, clearly entered everyone’s minds.
Heart Connection Deer Spirit Talent Skill, Spiritual Ripples.
This is an advanced version of the Mental Talent “Mind Speak.”
With no unnecessary preamble, after explaining, the instructor efficiently activated the communicator and started calling from the list, beginning with Team 1 and moving onwards.
Every time he mentioned a combat team, an instructor would step forward and raise their hand to show they were responsible, directing the named students to gather on the nearby ground.
Once a hundred were assembled, they directly led the team away.
The once-bustling area gradually emptied.
Feeling a bit nervous, Lin Su finally heard his name called.
“Combat Team 19, Lin Su!”
Was he the first on the list?
Curiously, Lin Su glanced at the instructors, wanting to know who his lead instructor was.
Suddenly, his expression turned strange.
Among the instructors, Li Hong at this moment silently raised his hand.
