Chapter 259: Cruelty

"How can you talk about it for so long?" Xiao Lin looked at the throne on the high platform that was talking to all the students who participated in the trial, and couldn't help muttering in his heart, "I'm tired of listening." ”

The throne has been standing on the high platform for most of the day, and there is still no sign of stopping, from the situation on the mainland, to talk about individual growth, Xiao Lin's ears are calloused.

"This trial is divided into three parts. "The throne talked for a long time, and finally talked about the most critical issue, about the content of the trial arrangement of the genius training camp.

"Finally got to the point. Xiao Lin sighed in his heart, and immediately cheered up, although he no longer needed to participate in the trial, he was still very interested in the content of this trial.

"The first part is the simplest basic test. "As we all know, genius training camps pursue geniuses and don't need waste. ”

"That's pretty straightforward. Xiao Lin muttered softly.

"So, in the first trial, it's not so much a trial as a test. The throne continued, "We're going to take the Empire's most modern means of detection, examine all aspects of your metrics, and use that data to estimate how far you can reach in the future. ”

"So exquisite. Xiao Lin was a little surprised, and at the same time he had a hunch that more than ninety percent of the students would probably be eliminated in this test.

"The Talent Camp has been held for several years. Throne continued, "This training camp has only one purpose, that is, to cultivate strong people, you are all young capable seedlings, you must also know that strong people are not born casually, talent, resources and hard work are indispensable." ”

Xiao Lin nodded, and agreed very much with what the throne said, talent alone cannot become a strong person, and without the support of resources, it can only be ignored by everyone in the end, and resources alone cannot become a strong person, if only resources are needed, I am afraid that there will be countless generals in those big families, and in the end, the empire still has only a handful of generals.

"Resources are provided by the Empire. "All you need to do is prove that you're talented, and you're working hard enough! ”

All the students present looked at the Tianxiang Throne with solemn faces, their eyes flashed with an amazing light, since they had come here, they naturally hoped to be selected for the training camp, so that they could step into the ranks of the strong in the future and achieve extremely high achievements in this country and even the entire continent.

"The second test is field training. "You need to survive in the jungle for a month, and there are countless beasts and criminals in it, and there is only one thing you have to do, survive." ”

"I thought I would accumulate points to rank like before. Xiao Lin muttered, he had experienced similar training in the Forest of Demons before, relying on killing to earn points and finally complete the ranking.

"The mortality rate in this trial was high. "If you don't have the guts, then it's best to beg you to be swept away in the first round, the empire won't send people to protect you, no matter where you come from, big families, towns and villages, you don't treat everyone equally, death is death." ”

"So ruthless?" Xiao Lin was taken aback, but he quickly got used to it, they had also encountered fatal crises many times in the Forest of Powerful Ghosts, and there were obviously masters nearby in the Black Court, but they just watched them go to a desperate situation, without any intention of helping.

Afterwards, some students with a very hard family background complained to Ghost Hand, thinking that Heiting's behavior was too cold and had no human touch, but Ghost Hand just said coldly, if you can't stand it, get out of me, so choked that those students couldn't say a word.

"Desperate situations can really force people to grow. Xiao Lin felt a little emotion in his heart, it had only been about a year since he left Qingzhu Town, and as a result, his body had undergone earth-shaking changes, which would have been unimaginable if it had been changed before.

"The final test is the ring fight. The throne continued, "Winning or losing does not mean the final result, the empire will determine who can finally enter the training camp and become the latest batch of students, the above is the specific arrangement of this trial, and then there will be staff to lead you to the indicator test, get ready, boys." ”

After saying that, the figure of the throne suddenly blurred, and disappeared out of thin air from the high platform, as if it had never appeared.

"The opening ceremony is over. Su He whispered next to Xiao Lin, "Are you going to stay here for a while or go back to your room?"

Xiao Lin tilted his head and thought for a while: "Can I go and see those students to take the index test?"

"Naturally, it's not a big deal. Suhe nodded, "What, suddenly interested in this?"

"Idle is idle anyway. Xiao Lin said casually, "It's out, so let's go and take a look." ”

Su He couldn't laugh or cry when he heard it, he thought that Xiao Lin had something to think, but he didn't expect it to be just because he was idle, and then he said helplessly: "Then let's go, it's estimated that you won't be able to enter if it's late." With that, Xiao Lin followed Su He and quickly swept into the distance.

Soon, Xiao Lin was surprised to find that there was a hole in the dense forest on the edge of Shangyue Lake, and after passing through the dense and tall trees, he saw a row of buildings located in the forest, and the dark green buildings were hidden in the dense forest, which could not be found from the outside.

"It turns out that there are houses in the woods. Xiao Lin muttered stunned.

"This forest is called the Lower Moon Forest. "This was originally one of the wonders of the Tianxiang Empire, and if the timing is right, you can see the moon rising over the lake and finally setting in the forest, hence the name. ”

"I see. Xiao Lin nodded, he was still wondering how the names of the lake and the forest were taken.

"Later, the land was reclaimed by the Empire. Sukh continued, "Because of some special circumstances, it was no longer open to ordinary people, and it ended up being the territory of the organization, and the headquarters of the organization was not here at first, but it was later relocated. ”

Xiao Lin nodded to show that he understood, the organization in Su He's mouth was the black court, and at the moment, there were mixed fish and dragons around, and Su He didn't talk about the black court, and used "organization" instead, anyway, Xiao Lin just understood it.

At this time, the dense forest was not as calm as Xiao Lin had when he first came, and the waves of sound spread towards the outside of the forest, the thick tree trunks in the forest seemed to be swaying, and the long dragons formed by more than a dozen people were swinging in the forest, and at the front of the team were fifteen black buildings built up.

Xiao Lin looked up, the students walked into those rooms one by one, and then walked out of the room with different faces, some expressionless, some full of joy, and some with gloomy faces, from the expressions on the students' faces, you can see what the results of this test are like.

"No way, there must be something wrong with this test of yours. Lin Jian suddenly remembered a piercing scream.

Xiao Lin turned his head to look, only to see an old man in a cloth robe screaming at a staff member of the Tianxiang Empire.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Lin looked at the commotion a little confused, and didn't understand why he suddenly quarreled.

Su He frowned and pushed Xiao Lin: "Go over and take a look." ”

The two soon came to the place of commotion, where the student testing had come to a standstill, and the people around them formed a circle, all watching the excitement, some with smiles on their faces, and others with impatience, hoping to continue the testing.

"What's going on?" Sukh asked in a whisper as he walked over to a staff member.

"The children he brought with him obviously didn't meet the requirements, and people came to make trouble, saying that there was a problem with our tests. The staff member said with some distress that this kind of thing happens almost every time the talent training camp is selected, and most of them are mainly people with poor family conditions.

Xiao Lin turned his head to look and saw a little girl with a ponytail next to the old man, wearing shabby clothes, covered with all kinds of patches, all kinds of flowers, tears flashing in the corners of the girl's eyes, holding the old man's arm with both hands, without saying a word.

"Show me her report. Su He said to the staff, and Xiao Lin also came to Su He's side, wanting to see the girl's test report.

The staff quickly took the girl's test report, Su He's eyes swept quickly, and he sighed in his heart, he didn't think that there was a problem with the test report of the Tianxiang Empire, this girl's various indicators were 108,000 miles away from the standard, and there were many indicators stuck at level nine, this kind of value could not enter the genius training camp anyway.

In fact, if you think about it, the old man and the daughter look like they should be grandchildren and grandchildren, judging from their clothing, the living conditions seem to be a little difficult, and it is reasonable that the granddaughter failed to meet the standard.

Su He leaned into the old man's ear and whispered a few words, the old man's dry face showed a trace of pain, and finally he could only nod silently, pulling up his granddaughter and walking into the distance, her figure looking even more rickety.

Xiao Lin had been silently watching the old man and the girl from the side, and then he took his own pocket and chased after him.

"What is this kid going to do?" Su He looked stunned, but did not stop him, just followed from a distance and did not come forward to disturb.

"Wait a minute. Xiao Lin called out to the old man, walked up to the grandfather and grandson, and took out a pile of crumpled banknotes and a rather old book from his arms, "This is some change, and a book of cultivation exercises, take it." ”

"I can't do it. The old man waved his hand vigorously, not daring to accept these very precious things in his eyes.

"It's just some change, buy something delicious. Xiao Lin's voice was a little low, he had also experienced this kind of life before, that kind of upheaval life still flashed in his mind from time to time, he could understand their mood very well, the old man naturally hoped that his granddaughter could be selected, become a powerful person, and change their lives from then on.

But sometimes life is so ruthless and cruel, the capable people need to spend a lot of property and resources to grow, and the poorer the family, the more they have no future, and they can only be with the mountains, forests and fields for the rest of their lives.

"Take it. Xiao Lin stuffed the money and ancient books into the old man's hands, "This is a book on elemental cultivation, it is good for your cultivation, there is still a chance in the future, don't give up." Xiao Lin's last words were addressed to the girl.

The girl stretched out her pale palm to take the ancient book, clutched it in her arms, her eyes were shining with tears, she looked at Xiao Lin directly, as if she wanted to remember Xiao Lin's appearance in her mind: "Brother, what's your name?"

"Me?" Xiao Lin was stunned for a moment and pointed to himself, "My name is Xiao Lin." ”

The girl looked at Xiao Lin and bowed: "Thank you." ”

"It's okay, it's okay, practice well. Xiao Lin waved his hand and left, walking to Su He's side.

"You have a good heart. Su He looked at Xiao Lin with a smile in his eyes, "What kind of ancient books are you handing out? ”

"You found out about this?" Xiao Lin said as if surprised.

"You kid can do everything. Su He said helplessly, but he didn't mean to blame, a worn-out manuscript cheats were just a cheat book, and it was not a big deal to send it out.

After the dispute was resolved, the trial could finally continue, and the distant sky darkened imperceptibly, and in a corner of the dense forest, two figures hid in the shadows and talked quietly.

"Is that the kid?"

"That's right. ”

"Is the information reliable?"

"You can't be wrong. ”

"What do you need us to do?"

After an eerie silence, a cold word rang out.

"Kill!"
