Chapter 021: Dragon's Tooth
After class, when Instructor Kan Jing walked out of the classroom, the rest of the people were not only immersed in the joy of igniting the martial arts node, but also looked at Chen Ning with pity. Compared to the elite group here, out of a thousand rookie fighters, only fifty people were selected. But Chen Ning only has the strength of a first-class soldier, which is very ironic and suspicious.
Most of the people around looked at Chen Ning with the same eyes as the weak, and some even said coldly: "Hehe, the worst of our people here are second-level soldiers, most of them are third-level soldiers, this guy is only a first-level soldier, I don't know how he hunted third-level zombies and second-level zombies when he was assessed?"
The guy who said this is called Xiao Zihao, he was not in the same group as Chen Ning before, but he was the strongest rookie warrior in the other group, this time he activated the martial arts, and like Bai Yuhao, he directly ignited the four nodes with force, and became one of the few fourth-level generals in the elite group.
Xiao Zihao and Liu Xi have a good relationship, both of them are from the wealthy family of Vermilion Bird City, and they even made an appointment to meet together in the elite group, but Xiao Zihao got the news that Liu Xi died on the night of the assessment.
Xiao Zihao has always felt that Liu Xi died strangely, compared to Liu Xi's strength, there are two fundamentals, but on the night of the assessment, Liu Xi and him were both dead, which made Xiao Zihao very suspicious of Liu Xi's cause of death.
Today, when he saw Chen Ning, who had only activated one node of the martial arts, he immediately remembered that Liu Xi had said that he had a grudge with Chen Ning before.
As a result, Xiao Zihao immediately had a strong suspicion of Chen Ning.
He even seriously suspected that it was Chen Ning who used despicable means to sneak attack Liu Xi on the night of the assessment.
For example, when Liu Xi and the third-level raider zombies were defeated, Chen Ning sneaked up behind and killed Liu Xi, and took away the brain core obtained by Liu Xi and the zombies they hunted, and finally entered the elite group by deceiving the world.
Otherwise, how could a mere first-level soldier hunt 1 third-level zombie, 1 second-level zombie and 3 first-level zombies?
Xiao Zihao said that he didn't know how Chen Ning hunted so many zombies, and his voice was not loud or small, deliberately just so that Chen Ning could hear it.
The people around also heard it, Xiao Zihao suspected Chen Ning of cheating during the assessment, as for the means of cheating, of course, it was opportunistic and killing people to get out of the way, so everyone looked at Chen Ning's eyes at this time, and it was weird.
When Chen Ning heard Xiao Zihao's yin and yang strange words, he couldn't help frowning slightly, and looked at Xiao Zihao with displeasure: "What do you mean?"
Xiao Zihao is a fourth-level general, and he was born in a wealthy family, whether it is his own strength or family background, he completely crushed Chen Ning, so he is not afraid of Chen Ning at all, in the face of Chen Ning's questioning, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, his eyes stared at Chen Ning, and he said coldly: "It doesn't mean anything, I just think that it is impossible for you to get such a dazzling record on the night of the assessment." And I know that you have a grudge against my friend Liu Xi, I seriously suspect that you killed Liu Xi by means, and he Liu Xi's results are his own, otherwise with a soldier of your level, you can defeat a third-level zombie, who can you deceive?"
The people around felt the tense atmosphere between Xiao Zihao and Chen Ning, and at the same time, they became more and more suspicious of Chen Ning's results on the night of the assessment.
Although Chen Ning's force only lit up one node of the black and white martial veins, he knew that his strength was definitely more than a first-level soldier, but he had dual martial arts, so he didn't know how to measure his true strength?
But he didn't plan to tell the secret of his dual martial vein, because he was worried that his dual martial vein would have something to do with his identity as a demigod?
But now, in the face of Xiao Zihao's aggressive and arrogant attitude, as well as the suspicious eyes of the students around him, Chen Ning felt that he had only one way to prove himself, and that was to stand up and apply for a duel with Xiao Zihao. Let everyone see, is he really only the strength of a first-class soldier?
When Chen Ning stood up with a calm face, Bai Yuhao in the seat not far away was already sensitively aware of what Chen Ning was going to do.
Bai Yuhao felt that although Chen Ning was more than the strength of a first-level soldier, his real strength should be between a second-level soldier and a third-level soldier, and Xiao Zihao was a fourth-level soldier, and if Chen Ning duel with Xiao Zihao, he would probably suffer.
So, Bai Yuhao didn't wait for Chen Ning to challenge Xiao Zihao, he had already come to Chen Ning's side, and said to Xiao Zihao with a smile: "Hehe, Xiao Zihao, even the butcher instructor didn't say that Chen Ning's assessment results were problematic, and you slandered people like this without evidence, it's a bit of a bully, right?"
Xiao Zihao was originally very invincible, although he and Chen Ning were both members of the elite group, but he didn't take Chen Ning seriously at all, and even wanted to find a reason to kill Chen Ning. Just now, he had been deliberately stimulating Chen Ning, wanting Chen Ning to stand up and prove his strength in anger, it was best to challenge himself, then he could kill Chen Ning openly.
However, he didn't expect to kill Bai Yuhao halfway.
Xiao Zihao knew Bai Yuhao's origin, the Bai family had a position in Vermilion Bird City, and even in the Imperial Army, Xiao Zihao had a little scruple about Bai Yuhao, and when he saw Bai Yuhao standing up to help Chen Ning, he was a little annoyed and said: "Bai Yuhao, this is my grudge with Chen Ning, why did you come to this troubled water?"
Bai Yuhao glanced at Chen Ning, and said with a polite smile: "The reason is very simple, first of all, Chen Ning is my friend, and I believe in him. β
Xiao Zihao didn't expect Bai Yuhao, who was usually too high and looked down on anyone, to treat Chen Ning, a waste from the slums, as a friend, which surprised him, he looked at Bai Yuhao and Chen Ning deeply, and finally said to Bai Yuhao: "This waste is your friend, and Liu Xi is also my friend!"
After Xiao Zihao finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Chen Ning, and said coldly: "Boy, this time for Bai Shao's sake, I will let you go for the time being." But you'd better not fall into my hands in the future, let alone let me find out that you killed Liu Xi, otherwise I will let you die a miserable death. β
After Xiao Zihao finished speaking, he raised his feet and left the classroom, and suddenly there was an uproar, five or six people followed him, and it could be seen that Xiao Zihao had a lot of subordinates in the elite group.
The people around also left with different expressions, although Chen Ning and Xiao Zihao did not fight, but everyone still believed in Xiao Zihao's words, compared to Chen Ning only showed the strength of a first-level soldier, it stands to reason that he could not hunt so many zombies on the night of the assessment.
Chen Ning turned his head to look at Bai Yuhao and said with a wry smile: "You helped me again just now, thank you." β
Bai Yuhao said lazily: "Thank you, you think the word friend is called in vain...... Let's go for lunch, and we'll train in the afternoon. In addition, the butcher instructor said that the students who can enter the elite group will receive rich rewards, and it is said that the butcher will personally give you the rewards, so we can look forward to it. β
Chen Ning went to the cafeteria with Bai Yuhao, Su Luo, and Da Luo and Xiao Luo, and after eating, everyone went back to the dormitory.
Since entering the elite group, their treatment has been greatly improved, and they no longer need to live in public dormitories, but have their own independent small dormitories. The dormitory is small, only a few square meters, and there is not much space outside of a bed, but this is quite good in a barracks.
The main reason is that there are fifty of them, all of whom are protΓ©gΓ©s of butcher instructors, and they must be trained to enter the Immortal Bird Legion as officers in the future.
In addition, the separate dormitory allows everyone to practice "Tiger Battle" quietly without being disturbed by others.
Chen Ning returned to the dormitory, sat down cross-legged on the bed, closed his eyes and began to practice the Tiger Warrior Duel, he has a dual martial vein, and he must work harder and pay twice the price of others in order to catch up with others' levels.
While cultivating, Chen Ning felt that an illusion appeared in his consciousness.
In the pitch-black environment, there is a dry lake in the middle, on the left is a black martial vein filled with black gas, and on the right is a white martial vein with silver flashing, both martial veins have 12 nodes, and the two martial veins are the first node at the bottom to be lit.
Chen Ning began to cultivate according to the guidance of Hu Bendu.
Tick!
As Chen Ning cultivated, a drop of water fell into the dry lake.
It turns out that this water bead is the force obtained by cultivation, and it takes continuous cultivation to be able to get more water droplets, and when the dry lake is full of water and enough force is stored, it can once again try to light up the other nodes of the black and white martial arts.
Before you know it, two hours have passed.
But Chen Ning found that when he cultivated the Tiger Warrior Duel, he began to obtain more force water beads, and he obtained a drop of force water beads every second, but slowly, the force water beads became slower and slower, and only one drop of force water beads was obtained at the last minute.
He opened his eyes, stopped practicing, and remembered what Instructor Suga had said: "Tiger Ben must cooperate with physical training in order to be able to continue cultivating." Physical training is to provide energy to the body, and the body stores energy, so that it can cultivate the water beads of force with the help of the tiger and the decide. Therefore, the best way to cultivate is to train physically for half a day, and then practice for half a day with Tiger Meditation. β
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the piercing assembly whistle sounded, Chen Ning suddenly bounced up from the bed, quickly dressed neatly, and then jumped out like lightning, came to the training ground, and gathered with the fighters of the other elite group, everyone stood straight like javelins.
The burly, topless, cigar-sting, rugged-looking butcher instructor came over with a few of his men.
The butcher looked around at the crowd and said with a big grin: "I told you before that there will be rewards for entering the elite group. However, everyone's reward is not the same, and the most important thing is that it is suitable for you and helpful to you. β
Next, the butcher began to hand out the rewards.
There are all kinds of prizes, but most of them get the Bone Washing Pill, which can repair old diseases damaged by the body, and can also improve the strength of the first level.
However, Xiao Zihao and Bai Yuhao, a few disciples of the wealthy clan, smiled bitterly at the bone cutting and marrow washing pill they obtained, because they had obtained this precious medicine from the family before, and they couldn't use it again based on the fact that bone cutting and marrow washing could not be used twice, so they were also very helpless.
Chen Ning did not get the Bone Washing Pill, the butcher felt that Chen Ning only had the strength of a first-class soldier, but he was able to kill many zombies on the night of the assessment, which was amazing, so the reward for Chen Ning was the best.
It is a standard Tang knife that only high-ranking officers have the opportunity to obtain, and this Tang knife also has a name: Dragon Tooth!
This knife is straight and sharp, simple and beautiful, and it is definitely a very good weapon.
Many people looked at the Tang Dao Dragon Tooth obtained by Chen Ning with great envy, especially Xiao Zihao, who looked at the Tang Dao Dragon Tooth in Chen Ning's hand with burning eyes, revealing a strong look of greed. In his opinion, how can Chen Ning, such a waste, be worthy of such a good knife?
