Chapter 171 is long overdue(1/2)
When the day when the war zone assessment ended, it rained in the Magic Cloud Ridge.
The rain was raining but it could not wash away the thick blood on the ground. The smoke of war reached an unprecedented tragic state on this day.
Every student of the Blood Killing Camp who participated in the assessment was in the final battle.
Outside the Demon Cloud Ridge, in the Imperial Black Wind Army Camp, a group of instructors from the Blood Killing Camp had already arrived. They looked at the Demon Cloud Ridge bathed in the rainy rain and waited quietly.
“How many people have been eliminated at the moment?”
Dong Lu, who was extremely burly in shape, asked like a mountain.
"More than half of the 117 people were forced into desperate situations. They had no choice but to break through and advance and were eliminated. Most of the remaining ones were sent out distress signals and were eliminated."
Song Ling next to him quickly reported an accurate number, "The only uncertain thing at present is how many students died in the Demon Cloud Ridge."
Donglu frowned and sighed: "The loss is a bit big."
Song Ling thought for a while and said, "The students of this class of Blood Killing Camp performed very well, at least much better than ours back then."
In one sentence, it shows that Song Ling, a colonel-level general of the Black Wind Army, actually participated in the training of the Blood Killing Camp!
Donglu suddenly asked, "How many losses have the students at Camp No. 39 lost?"
Song Ling said: "There are currently 17 people eliminated, and among the remaining 10 people, it is still impossible to determine how many people died."
Dong Lu frowned. There were 237 students from eight camps who came to participate in the theater assessment this time. Now, 17 people were eliminated in Camp No. 39 alone, and the elimination rate is really high.
From this we infer that the situation in the other seven camps must be quite different.
"It seems that the number of students who can return to the camp to continue training this time is probably not more than fifty." Dong Lu sighed lightly.
Song Ling snorted coldly: "This kind of assessment results is already dazzling. In the past, only 23 students returned in every battle zone assessment!"
Dong Lu smiled and said, "That's true."
"Speaking of this, there was a little guy who surprised me this time." Song Ling suddenly spoke up.
"who?"
"Lin Xun."
Song Ling concisely narrated the bloody battle that happened on the volcano a few days ago, and then said with emotion, "From this perspective, Lin Xun's strength is no less than that of top figures such as Bai Lingxi, Zhao Yin, Li Duxing, and Changsun Hen."
"So it's this little guy."
A strange look appeared on the corner of Donglu's lips, and he laughed.
"Why, you also noticed that this guy is very special?"
Song Ling couldn't help asking.
"Well, it's really special. When I entered the Blood Killing Camp on the first day, this little guy was one of the lowest-cultivated students in the entire camp, and almost no one was optimistic about him."
Dong Lu's eyes showed a hint of recollection, "But over time, this kid gradually showed extraordinary potential. Every time he was not optimistic about it, he could always prove himself with iron facts, which made many people dumbfounded."
"The most rare thing is that this boy never plays according to common sense. He seems to be low-key and harmless, but in fact he is as ruthless as iron. In the entire Blood Killing Camp, many people suffered a secret loss in his hands."
"At that time, I occasionally heard a comment from Xu Tou, saying that this boy is very wise and close to the demon, and his scheming is as scheming as the sea, and his temperament is complicated and difficult to figure out. What kind of achievements can such a person achieve in the future is the most difficult to evaluate."
There was a hint of emotion in Dong Lu's voice.
"Tou Xu actually has such a high opinion of this boy?"
Song Ling was surprised. In his impression, Xu Sanqi was definitely not the kind of person who talked nonsense.
“This is not pure appreciation.”
Dong Lu looked at Song Ling meaningfully, "You should know that people like this are the most rebellious and difficult to control."
Song Ling was silent immediately and nodded silently for a long time.
A sound of restlessness came from afar, and many soldiers in the barracks couldn't help but exclaim.
Donglu and Song Ling were both stunned. Looking up, they saw a graceful and elegant figure walking towards the military camp in the hazy mist and rain in the distance.
She was wearing a white dress, black hair shawls, and draped down to her waist. Her jade face was clear and beautiful. Walking in the misty rain, she was like a fairy walking out of a painting, with a transcendent aura that was untainted by dust, which attracted the audience's eyes.
Bai Lingxi!
She was actually the first time she returned from the theater assessment!
"This woman has talented attributes, Xing Zhaoqiu, and being the first to return from the assessment shows that she is extremely confident in the military achievements she has obtained this time. As expected, she is most likely the number one in the theater assessment."
Song Ling seemed to be thinking.
Dong Lu next to him nodded and said, "This woman is indeed amazing. I heard that when the Blood Killing Camp's assessment is over, she will be admitted to the Imperial Qinglu Academy for practice."
Song Ling's expression was a little subtle and complicated: "This is the proud daughter of heaven. The path of cultivation is destined to be different from other cultivators in the empire."
After Bai Lingxi returned, she waited quietly there.
There is less than an hour left before the end of the assessment. When the assessment is completely finished, the military merits will be evaluated to divide the final assessment results.
Not long after, another figure came from a distance. His figure was tall and slender, with dragons and tigers walking, and his eyes were shining brightly. He had a arrogant aura all over his body, which was Zhao Yin.
Zhao Yin's arrival attracted many glances, making a reserved smile appear on the corner of his lips.
But when he saw Bai Lingxi's graceful and slender figure, Zhao Yin narrowed his eyes, sighed helplessly, and came to Bai Lingxi and said, "I didn't expect that it would be a little worse than you."
Bai Lingxi looked as quiet as water, and said, "The time to come back cannot affect the final ranking results at all."
Zhao Yin smiled and said, "Don't be humble. I already have a premonition. If you hadn't been absolutely confident in your military achievements, you would never return early."
Bai Lingxi looked into the Moyun Ridge in the distance, and seemed unwilling to talk about this topic.
"That's it?"
"Li Duxing! Why did he become like this?"
Suddenly, an uproar sounded, which made Bai Lingxi and Zhao Yin look at each other. He saw a thin figure walking step by step from a distance in the continuous rain. His long hair was loose, his whole body was ragged, and blood was flowing freely on his abdomen, shoulders, and legs.
From a distance, he looked like a wounded lone wolf, returning from the battlefield in silence.
Bai Lingxi and Zhao Yin's eyes narrowed together. Li Duxing's origin was very mysterious. There were many rumors about him, but none of them could tell the authenticity.
But no matter what, in the eyes of Bai Lingxi, Zhao Yin and others, the entire Blood Killing Camp could make them feel competitive pressure, and Li Duxing was one of them.
At this moment, he saw him returning home in tears, looking embarrassed and lonely, but the two of them dared not look down on him at all.
"Li Duxing is a foolish sword like a madman, and he is alone. The path of such a person can only be described as the six words "not crazy and not alive."
Dong Lu commented.
Song Ling said in surprise: "Do you know this very well?"
Dong Lu shook his head: "This is the common understanding of all the instructors of the Blood Killing Camp. Don't you think he is very similar to Xiao Pifu back then?"
Song Ling's pupils shrank, Xiao Baifu!
In his mind, he was vaguely reminded of a king who was shocked by sword hundreds of years ago, and remembered the incident of the king breaking into the dark royal court alone and killing the thirteen great witches angrily.
Xiao Pianfu!
This is a legendary sword king!
His glorious deeds have been around for a long time in the empire and have been praised by countless practitioners.
"One person has his own way of life. Li Duxing is still too young. Even if he has the same temperament and style as Xiao Pifu, it is hard to say whether he can have the terrifying strength as Xiao Pifu in the future."
Song Ling thought.
Donglu smiled, not saying anything.
After Li Duxing returned, students returned one after another, such as Changsun Hen, Gong Ming, Shi Yu, Ning Meng...
In just half an hour, more than 30 students gathered in the camp.
These students were able to return safely during the assessment without being eliminated, which is enough to prove how powerful their combat effectiveness is.
"Why didn't Lin Xun return?"
Song Ling suddenly frowned.
"Wait, isn't the assessment time not over yet?"
Dong Lu also had a hint of worry in his heart. If he did not return at this time, there were only two situations to explain. Either Lin Xun was fighting with all his strength because he lacked enough military merits.
Either... he may have been in danger or died in disaster!
On the other side, Shi Yu and Ning Meng were arguing over a bet.
"Young man, hurry up and prepare a thousand gold coins. I will definitely win this time!"
"Idiot, when you start to evaluate military merits, you will understand in tears. How stupid it is to say such words at this time!"
"Haha, then I'll wait and see if your military achievements can make me cry!"
While arguing, Shi Yu suddenly raised his eyebrows and said, "Where is Lin Xun?"
Ning Meng was also stunned, glanced around, muttered, "Can this guy be eliminated long ago?"
Shi Yu sneered: "Don't worry, Lin Xun is much better than you. You have not been eliminated. How could Lin Xun be eliminated?"
As he said that, Shi Yu frowned and murmured: "There are only ten minutes left before the assessment is over. Why hasn't this kid appeared yet?"
To be continued...
