Chapter 54 If anything happens to him, he'll pay with his life!
Forcing down the discomfort, I quickly composed myself and focused my attention on the person in front of me.
Yan Yan nodded in satisfaction at the orderly scene, his gaze sweeping over the smaller crowd than before, a complex mix of emotions in his eyes. Finally, he slowly spoke.
"It's great to see you all here today."
"This means you survived another battle, and weren't left behind on that distant battlefield."
"But the war is far from over; this is just a small test."
"More than victory, I want to see everyone return alive. This is not an excuse for those who are afraid of death."
"It's not just that you have the country behind you, but also many people waiting for you to return."
"The skills I teach you are primarily for self-defense. Victory is essential, but sacrifices are also inevitable."
"But we don't need meaningless sacrifices. What you need to do is figure out how to protect your country on the battlefield while also taking care of yourselves!"
After saying this, Yan Yan took out a manual from behind him and began to check whether everyone was present by calling out names one by one.
"...Xu Weixuan"
"To!"
"Southern Hammer..."
"To!"
"Zhang Yue?"
"arrive"
"..."
Some people continued to respond, while others, after calling out several times, fell silent.
Those present would silently lower their heads and mourn for a few seconds—everyone knew what was going on, and everyone knew what was wrong with the person who couldn't respond.
He called out a string of names, but almost half of them went unanswered. A somber look clouded Yan Yan's eyes. Finally, he slowly uttered the last name, his voice heavy with an unspeakable burden.
"Mo Wunian..."
"arrive"
I had been intentionally listening for my own name, and when I heard him call it, I quickly responded, only to meet his shocked gaze.
"..."
He seemed somewhat surprised to be alive: there was no ambiguity, just amazement at being alive.
After receiving the response, Yan Yan fixed his gaze on him, looking him up and down. Although he remained outwardly calm, his heart was in turmoil.
"...They actually survived that defensive line..."
"Even the injuries don't seem to affect his movements anymore..."
As he pondered this, meeting the other person's dark and deep pupils, he saw a glimmer of light that was usually absent in that person's eyes:
That was an existence he had never seen since he began teaching the other party.
It's important to know that in the simulated training camp, when two people team up, the opposing team won't give the other person a chance to make a move; they're practically fighting like madmen to finish off the remaining enemies.
His attack methods would evolve from the standard swordsmanship of the Night Return Army that he was initially taught to him, to the swordsmanship he himself practiced.
Even his teammates had to keep their distance to avoid being accidentally injured.
Because of this incident, many people are no longer willing to team up with that kid. He's spoken to him privately, but every time he finishes talking to him, he only sees the other person slowly raise their head, their eyes as calm as a stagnant pool.
I don't care.
[And if I'm the only one who gets hurt... wouldn't that be a good thing?]
These two sentences silenced him completely. He had intended to try and persuade them further, but the next moment, due to the urgency of the situation at the front, he was forced to send these new recruits to the battlefield as well.
And now, the person who had been constantly hovering on the brink of death seems to have truly crossed that boundary between life and death, and ushered in a new life.
"Have you confirmed that no one else has arrived? In that case, let's officially begin training."
"Let's start with the basics!"
"In a moment, you will be divided into pairs according to the draw and enter the simulation training field!"
Basic training was actually quite simple for him, given his physical abilities. Furthermore, because of his past injuries, his supervisor deliberately reduced the intensity of the training.
She would deliberately come over to check on him every now and then, as if she were afraid something might happen to him on the training field.
He simply smiled at this, then perfected his training, and nodded and smiled at the person in charge to show that he was reassured.
"Mo Wunian's personality has indeed improved..."
"This young man has such a handsome smile, why didn't he smile much before..."
Of course, compared to the smooth training on his side, things on the other side seemed to be in complete chaos.
"I'm not training anymore! What a piece of trash training..."
"Stretching? What stretching... I'm in so much pain..."
"This is oppression! I'm going to have someone sue you..."
Turning back to look at Zhang Yue, who was wailing and howling in the distance, Mo Wunian found himself increasingly pleased with him. The scene before him, the person in charge's reprimands and harsh demands on Zhang Yue, were clearly all for Zhang Yue's sake, in his eyes.
So let's ask him to lend a hand... this is a deep "comradeship in arms"!
At this moment, the person in charge on the other side, watching Zhang Yue stubbornly refusing to get up from the ground, felt a surge of helplessness and barely concealed anger. He knew Zhang Yue was like a stubborn leech, and if it weren't for the possibility of his superiors intervening, he would have personally gotten rid of him long ago.
"If you don't want to train, don't waste my time!"
"Go find a stinking ditch and stay there! You filthy maggot!"
"Watch your mouth, I just think this training is unnecessary!"
"If you're so capable, let me go straight into the simulation training ground!"
"You dare to lay a hand on me..."
"I'm coming~"
A familiar voice rang out behind the two, and the person in charge turned around sharply to see Mo Wunian's "kind" smile.
However, it wasn't aimed at him, but at Zhang Yue, who was lying on the ground, completely stunned.
"Mo Wunian?"
"It's me. I saw that someone here seemed to need my 'help,' so I came over."
"Him? Avoid contact with him, don't get yourself into trouble..."
"How can you say that? We're all from the same training camp..."
The person in charge looked at Mo Wunian's smiling face, his heart filled with mixed emotions. When he learned that the other party's purpose in coming was to help this scumbag, he couldn't help but feel astonished and indignant.
However, the Mo Wunian before them seemed to radiate a gentle light, his helpful enthusiasm remained unchanged, and his personality was even more gentle than before, without the slightest alteration.
"This...this is far too troublesome..."
“I’ve exceeded my training goals, so this little thing is no trouble at all…”
It wasn't really troublesome; the sword in his hand was already itching to be used.
He has 100 ways to make someone feel pain, but never leave a scar.
"That's really too much trouble for you! Please feel free to come to me if you have any material problems in the future!"
"In that case, I'll go supervise from the other side."
"Go ahead and relax~ヾ(^▽^*)))"
He watched as the person in charge left with a look of trust and happiness on their face, and he was naturally happy and joyful as well.
Seeing Zhang Yue struggling to get up and run away, he swiftly interrupted his movements with a sword strike.
"Damn it! You..."
"The response is substandard! It's so slow, it can't even catch the food!"
"no……"
"You can't even avoid this? What will you do on the battlefield...?"
"Oh my god...!!!"
He admitted that he did intentionally torment the other person, but he also gave that person a chance!
He gave him weapons and even helped the guy get back on his feet, and even deliberately let him have a few moves... but he really didn't expect the other guy to be this bad.
Even his students can't compare... No, wait!
How can such scum compare to Huo Huo? He's really been practicing for so long that his brain has become muddled.
After a friendly "sparring session," Zhang Yue, who had initially been hurling insults, was gradually subdued and began begging for mercy.
"Big brother, please stop hitting me... I... I..."
"Can't I just find a corner to hide in... give me a chance..."
After a friendly "training" session, he was exhausted: all he could say was that his opponent had been raised to be tough and resilient; he could even feel the wooden sword bouncing back at him.
Just then, the whistle for assembly sounded again from the other side. I quickly packed my things, not even wanting to glance at the people wailing and howling on the ground, and turned to leave.
He could anticipate the look in the other person's eyes the moment he turned around, but he was confident in his own abilities.
At least this kid can't outsmart him.
My intention with this move was to draw all the hatred towards myself, so as not to affect Beiwang and Huohuo.
What he fears least is someone trying to harm him.
They rushed to the assembly point, where those who had finished training had already lined up and quickly went inside to await further instructions.
"Is everyone here? Then let's move on to the simulation training ground!"
"Teammates are identified electronically, so don't complain!"
"On the battlefield, you need to cooperate with anyone, regardless of any past conflicts or grudges between you. Put them aside for now!"
"Next, we will announce the allocation list..."
Yan Yan gave a few instructions, then quickly posted the list on the bright blue panel. Searching for his own name on it, he could only say it was quite a coincidence:
It just so happens to be Zhang Yue
"Heh, shall we go?"
Seeing the unsurprised look in the other person's eyes, he most likely knew that the list had been tampered with. Although he didn't know what awaited him next, he was not afraid.
"Let's go... let's go..."
Zhang Yue gave a cold laugh, picked up his weapon, walked to his side, chuckled, and then stepped into the training ground first.
Without saying much, I thought I wouldn't feel any fear, but a strange unease quietly arose—not worry about myself, but a premonition that someone was about to meet with misfortune.
"..."
He gripped the sword tighter and quickly stepped into the simulation training ground.
The moment he stepped inside, he sensed that the surrounding frequencies were off, and he quickly frowned: He knew that the monsters simulated in training grounds were usually of the light wave level, and shouldn't have such a turbulent frequency.
"You actually followed me in! I thought you were so clever!"
"The surveillance here has been blocked, and all data will be deleted afterward."
"A Giant Wave-class... Let's see how many you and that guy can handle in one go!"
"Just wait until you and that brat named Ji Yan end up half-paralyzed!"
After speaking, the other person swiftly left through the other door. Initially, he remained unmoved by the first two sentences, but when the last sentence reached his ears, his pupils constricted sharply, and his emotions surged like a boiling volcano.
"You tm!"
I never expected that they would actually dare to attack Ji Yan!
After quickly calculating the time, it became clear that the other side should indeed be testing their combat fundamentals in the simulated training ground.
He rushed to the door, tentatively pushed it, and found it wouldn't open. Just as he took a few steps back, intending to draw his sword and smash the door down, he heard a monster's roar behind him.
Three giant bears pounced on him quickly, but fortunately, their movements were rather clumsy, and he dodged the attack with a sidestep.
"Arrowhead Bear..."
He had lost all interest in playing house with the three monsters; his mind was completely consumed by the thought that Ji Yan might be in grave danger. He felt himself trembling uncontrollably, his thoughts in turmoil, unable to calm down.
Anyway, the surveillance cameras have been dismantled by the other party, and the data won't be left behind. Even if we want to find something, it will take a long time!
"Zhang Yue...you'd better be glad Ji Yan is alright..."
"Otherwise, you can forget about keeping your head on your neck!"
He swiftly drew the longsword hidden within the spatial dimension, lowered his body, and instantly rushed to the core of the three monsters. The blade sliced through the air with a sharp whistling sound, and blood splattered as soon as it was drawn.
Without flinching, he swiftly and decisively dispatched the first monster. However, an attack from behind struck, and a wave of excruciating pain jolted him from his daze. Despite this, he did not stop.
He took a step back and then stepped forward again, stomping on the body of another giant bear as he descended from the sky. The sword pierced his body, sliding from his neck down to his waist. Blood splattered on his face, still somewhat warm.
It crashed to the ground, then stood up, fixing its gaze on the last monster. The remaining elephant wasn't entirely without intelligence; the giant bear, realizing the creature before it was no match for it, began to flee.
"..."
He casually used his healing talent to stop the bleeding on his back, then quickly activated his internal energy and charged forward, leaping up the wall and descending from the sky, piercing the opponent's head with a single sword strike.
The battle ended in just a few minutes. Without a moment's pause, he rushed to the door, grabbed his sword, and cleaved it open. In the instant the outside air rushed in, he saw the worried crowd.
"Mo Wunian! There's a problem with your simulation training ground. What happened inside?"
"All the data is lost..."
"Zhang Yue has also disappeared without a trace..."
"..."
Ignoring the greetings of those around him, he wiped the blood from his face and quickly grabbed his sword, rushing towards the testing site he remembered.
He was left with only one thought:
If Ji Yan were to encounter any mishap, he would make that person pay with their life right now!
