Chapter 44: Persistence and Abandonment
"Tenth on the Sin Demon List?" Mo Dou remembered that the so-called Sin Demon List was the Sin Demon Monthly's evaluation of the strength of the people who were mixed in the ruins of the Sin Demon, and it was conceivable that he could rank among the top ten.
"Jiang Xinyu is my cousin, he has just returned from the ruins of the demon and became a strong soul king, very good, but he always opposes me... In short, the opponent of our class is the so-called elite class he leads. Jiang Xinxin said with a frown.
"Genius with the elite class, although I don't know what you want to compare, but I feel that there is no chance of winning compared to anything. Mo Dou thought for a moment and said.
"yes. Jiang Xinxin was stunned for a moment, and then sighed, "But if you don't give it a try, if you admit defeat like this, I'm very unconvinced. β
"So what are you going to compare?"
Mo Dou knew that Jiang Xinxin had never been in contact with the sinister of society, so he would say such naΓ―ve words, but he didn't want to hit Jiang Xinxin, so he could only quietly change the topic.
"We are playing a game called 'Capture the Commander', where each side sends ten men to fight, one of them is a marshal, one is a killer, and the remaining eight are soldiers. There are only two ways to win, the first is to make the opponent lose all of them to combat effectiveness, and the second is for the killer to leave a mark on the opponent's marshal. The two sides have no way of knowing the identity of the other, and the killer only has one chance to assassinate the marshal, and the rules are probably like this. Jiang Xinxin explained.
"I kind of understand," Mo Dou nodded as if he didn't understand, "We can only find out the other party's marshal to assassinate before our own marshal or everyone falls." β
"Yes, it's as simple as that. Jiang Xinxin nodded and said.
Mo Dou was stunned for a moment, and shook his head with a slightly wry smile, the strength of the two sides is very different, Jiang Xinxin's students really can only look at luck if they want to win!
"Gather the students and let me see the strength of your students. Mo Dou said.
"Okay, you stay here for a while, and I'll have my students gather on the playground right away. Hearing Mo Dou's words, Jiang Xinxin's eyes lit up and she couldn't wait to run out.
Half an hour later, the No. 10 training ground of the Three Souls Academy.
"Mo Dou, the students in our class have arrived. Jiang Xinxin counted the number of people and said to Mo Dou.
"Hmm. Mo Dou looked at the more than thirty students on the playground and nodded thoughtfully.
"Let's get started. Jiang Xinxin said anxiously, after all, there is only less than half a month before the competition, and the time is very urgent.
"There are only ten people to play, and I will pick ten of you. Mo Dou's gaze swept over the students, "Before that, you told me why you wanted to become a soul cultivator. β
"Defend the country. The students replied in unison.
"Good. Mo Dou nodded meaningfully, "Then you have to try your best to stand for a longer time." β
As soon as the words fell, the students didn't have time to wonder, and the soul power in Mo Dou's body suddenly exploded, and the overwhelming coercion instantly made them breathless.
The unprepared students' pupils widened, and they felt that a mountain was pressing on them, and it was extremely uncomfortable.
Although Jiang Xinxin, who was standing on the side, did not directly feel Mo Dou's coercion, the faint aftermath still made her feel slightly uncomfortable.
In less than ten seconds, the students fell one after another.
At twenty seconds, all but four soul-level students had already fallen.
At thirty seconds, even the remaining four students fell one after another.
Although all the students had fallen, Mo Dou did not regain his soul power.
Looking at the students in pain, Jiang Xinxin couldn't bear it, and wanted Mo Dou to withdraw his soul power, but just as he wanted to speak, Mo Dou spoke.
"If you go to the battlefield one day, you will definitely be the first to die, and you can't even protect yourself, do you still want to protect your family and defend the country?" Mo Dou's expression was cold, and he looked at the fallen students with disdain, "The academy is just protecting you by driving you away, I advise you to give up being a soul cultivator as soon as possible." β
"Mo Dou, they're just children, wouldn't you be too strict like this?" Jiang Xinxin said bitterly.
"You don't know how cruel the outside world is, the enemy won't kill you because you're a child, if you don't be harsh on them, someone else will be harsh on them instead of us in the future, and tuition may be life...... "Mo Dou glanced at Jiang Xinxin coldly and said.
Jiang Xinxin has a father who is a deputy commander, and since she was a child, she has been exposed to all kinds of things like the law of the jungle, although what Mo Dou said was ugly, she was speechless.
"I can't even protect myself, and I still want to protect my family and defend the country, it's really funny, you should give up being a soul cultivator quickly." Mo Dou looked indifferent and mocked mercilessly.
Mo Dou's words seemed to hurt the students, and all the students lay motionless in place, looking very depressed.
Looking at the slumping students, Mo Dou sighed lightly and shook his head in disappointment, just as he was about to withdraw his soul power, Gu Guangyi suddenly struggled to get up.
"I'm from Macheng, and I was forced to move by local bullies, so I had no choice but to go to Cannes to join my uncle...... But when I came to Cannes, I was also bullied by the bullies here......" Gu Guangyi's body trembled, and he slowly stood up, his expression became extremely firm, "Only by becoming a soul cultivator can I have the ability to protect myself and my family from being bullied, so ...... No matter what, I won't give up my ...... of being a soul cultivator."
"I don't want to be transparent anymore, I want everyone to notice me, so I won't give up being a soul cultivator. An introvert-looking girl gritted her teeth and stood up.
"I know I look like a girl, but I hate it when people laugh at me for being a sissy, and I must become a soul cultivator and shut up those who laugh at me. Immediately afterward, a good-looking boy struggled to stand up with tears in his eyes.
"I want my parents to be proud of me......"
"I'm going to make myself strong......"
"I'm going to fight side by side with my brother......"
"I want to ......"
Under the influence of Gu Guangyi and others, all the students stood up tenaciously one after another, and said their original intention of wanting to become a soul cultivator.
The reason why they want to become soul cultivators is very simple, it is insignificant compared to "defending the family and defending the country", but this trivial reason gives them the power to go beyond the limit.
The students' faces were pale and their bodies were shaky, but each one of them gritted their teeth and used their willpower to keep themselves from falling.
After seeing the students fall down and all stand up, Jiang Xinxin's face could not hide the surprise, she didn't expect her students to have such perseverance.
After all the students persevered under the pressure of Mo Dou's soul power for a minute, Mo Dou showed a satisfied smile on his face, and then withdrew his soul power.
The soul power was withdrawn, and all the students were relieved, and couldn't help but sit on the ground and gasp.
"Soul cultivators stealing the power of heaven and earth for their own use is originally a very selfish act, and when you feel lost on the path of soul cultivators in the future, think about what you just said, that will be the driving force to support you on this path. Mo Dou looked at the students thoughtfully and said earnestly.
The path of a soul cultivator is much more difficult than that of ordinary people, if they don't have a firm believing, it is difficult to persevere, and the original intention of becoming a soul cultivator is their firmest belief!
"We're going to use this training ground, you garbage get out of the way. β
Just as Mo Dou was about to take the next step of training, a group of people came over and shouted arrogantly from afar.
Mo Dou followed the prestige, his perception swept over the group of people, and his expression couldn't help but sink slightly. There are a total of twenty-two people in that group, all of them are above the soul level, one of the two leaders is at the soul venerable level, and the other is not even perceptible to Mo Dou, obviously a strong man at the soul king level!
Jiang Huajun...... He Gangwei ...... "Seeing the person coming, Jiang Xinxin's face was instantly ugly and terrifying, "There are so many idle training grounds, why do you have to come to grab us." β
"No reason, our class has the right to requisition all the facilities of the academy, and you garbage class just need to abide by it. Jiang Huajun, who was wearing a white shirt, had an indifferent face and glanced at Jiang Xinxin with disdain.
"Our sixth class is not a garbage class. Jiang Xinxin's face turned red with anger, but she was obviously a little lacking in confidence when she spoke.
"Teacher Jiang, our class really doesn't mean to be difficult for you, but we just need this training ground, I hope you can understand. He Gangwei showed an embarrassed expression and said aggrievedly.
"You're just deliberately finding fault. Jiang Xinxin didn't buy He Gangwei's account at all, and said through gritted teeth.
"Jiang Xinxin, if you don't know each other, don't blame me for not missing my relatives. Jiang Huajun looked at Jiang Xinxin and said coldly.
"Damn......" Jiang Xinxin was so angry that her teeth were tight, but she was helpless.
The first class has the priority to use all the resources of the academy, and Jiang Huajun's strength is far above Jiang Xinxin, so no matter how angry Jiang Xinxin is, he can only give up the training ground.
"Everything comes first and last, and Class 6 will never let go of this training ground. Just as Jiang Xinxin was about to give up the training ground, Mo Dou said lightly.
Mo Dou didn't know the rules of the academy, but he would never give in to anyone easily.
"Who are you, it's not your turn to speak here. Jiang Huajun raised his eyebrows and stared at Mo Dou coldly.
"Who are you, it's not your turn to approve me to speak. Looking at the arrogant and domineering Jiang Huajun, Mo Dou unceremoniously retorted.
"Mo Dou, forget it, the first class does have priority to use this training ground. Seeing that the sparks between Mo Dou and Jiang Huajun were getting bigger and bigger, Jiang Xinxin hurriedly pulled Mo Dou, for fear that things would get bigger, after all, Jiang Huajun was a strong soul king, and Jiang Xinxin didn't think that Mo Dou, who had the strength of the soul venerable, could compete with Jiang Huajun.
"Mo ...... Mo Dou?" Jiang Huajun suddenly looked surprised, and then said to Mo Dou with a respectful face, "It turned out to be the mad ape Mo Dou, I was really embarrassed just now." β
Mo Dou was stunned, he really couldn't understand why Jiang Huajun's attitude suddenly took a 180-degree turn.
Not only Mo Dou, but even Jiang Xinxin and He Gangwei were also confused.
"When I was in the ruins of the demons, I also had a little friendship with Xiao Yi and Fu Yan, and it was really a big flood that washed the Dragon King Temple just now. Jiang Huajun said respectfully and with a little apology, "Since you came first, this place is naturally used by you, and I will take my students to other training grounds." β
Saying that, Jiang Huajun couldn't wait to leave in a hurry with He Gangwei and the students of the first class.
Jiang Huajun also rushed when he came, and rushed when he went, making everyone scratch their heads.
"Okay, it's time to break, training begins...... "Although I don't know what happened, but now that time is pressing, Mo Dou must hurry up and train the students.
