Chapter 56: January

"Whew. Xiao Lin walked out of the tent and took a deep breath, the sky was still only bright, the students were still resting in their rooms, and there was no one outside.

The early morning dew drops on the green branches and leaves, occasionally falling a few drops and jumping into the soil, and a few crisp bird sounds can be heard in the forest, and the breeze is a little cool, caressing the trees, and there is a "rustling" sound.

Xiao Lin walked around his tent, stretched his body, and was ready to start training later, a dark flame flashed in his eyes, and a sneer flashed at the corner of his mouth: "It's really ghostly, aren't you tired all day long?"

Xiao Lin's perception of his surroundings is constantly improving, and he doesn't know why he has this ability, it stands to reason that this should be a means for people with spiritual abilities.

He suspected that it was a benefit that the door had given him, and thanks to this ability, he was able to detect a slight presence that someone was watching him, but it was only a vague and hazy feeling.

He was unable to pinpoint the exact location of the watchers, only a vague sense that they were in his vicinity, hidden in the blind spots or shadows that were invisible to the naked eye.

"It's been a month. Xiao Lin restrained the dark flame in his eyes and sighed.

It's been a whole month since the domain master came to the Forest of Demons with his team, and during this time, the ghost hands have arranged most of the training items in the residential area, and they will not easily enter and leave unless they are forced to do so, and leaving means that they may encounter danger.

The Black Court has laid a lot of defenses in this area, aerial probes have been hovering in the air, there are capable people patrolling all day long in all dead corners, automatic artillery has been set up on the perimeter, once an unknown energy is detected, it will fire directly, and there are all kinds of energy detectors, which are mainly to search for those who use illusions, domains, and change abilities to infiltrate.

It can be said that the security level of the cadet's residential area has been raised to a fairly high level, and it is almost impossible to repeat the situation like last time, unless the general is there in person.

Xiao Lin opened the communication compass in his hand, clicked on an interface, and a large series of dense numbers popped up at once, which was about various indicators of his combat power, the domain master not only brought a powerful team to strengthen the defense, but also brought the latest batch of communication compasses.

This kind of communication compass is a product independently developed by the Black Court, and at present, only the Black Court has it, and even the military department has never owned it.

This communication compass called the "Chill Night" series by the Black Court not only adds the monitoring settings of the ability indicator, but also greatly enhances the communication ability and the level of carrying interference, and the skills of the field can also be transmitted when encountering again.

Xiao Lin was a little unconvinced, why didn't he distribute this kind of equipment before, and threw them a brand new product within a few days of the accident, how to look at it and how unreliable.

However, he thinks that the monitoring settings of the ability indicator are quite practical, although the ghost hand said that this is a generation of products, and a lot of adjustments and changes are needed in all aspects, and it is only in the trial period, and the detection of the ability indicator can be used as a reference, but it is not accurate.

"Why is the ascension so slow?" Xiao Lin stared at the dense numbers on the compass carefully, the screen of the compass was too small, making him have a hard time looking, this is probably a shortcoming of this thing.

"Alas, there is almost no change, but the strength has reached the level of the eighth level, it should be because of the practice of swordsmanship. Xiao Lin sighed, quite dissatisfied with his ascension speed, he had been in the dark court for a long time, but the change was quite small, and there was almost no progress.

He summed up the changes of this month, in addition to completing the prescribed training items every day, he also had to practice "Heart Technique", "Heart Sword Technique" and "Three World Sword", at the same time, the basic physical fitness and comprehensive strength could not be left behind, but even such a compact practice that was full every day still could not allow him to improve quickly.

"What are you thinking?" the ghost hand appeared behind Xiao Lin and asked with a smile, his eyes glancing into the shadows not far away without a trace.

"It's too slow to increase your combat power. Xiao Lin complained with some distress, "At this rate, when I get stronger, I'll already be an old man." ”

The ghost hand said with a smile: "How long have you been practicing, this kind of thing can't be rushed, don't test your level at every turn, it's not conducive to your cultivation, because your mind is scattered, do a good job of daily things, and when you look back after a while, you will find surprises." ”

The ghost hand poured a big bowl of chicken soup into Xiao Lin, and Xiao Lin pouted: "I will also say this kind of thing to you, is there any secret to improving your strength quickly." ”

"Nope. Ghost Hand shook his head: "Step-by-step cultivation is the only way, and anyone who tries to take shortcuts can't become the strongest." ”

"That'...... What about the treasures of heaven and earth?" Xiao Lin thought of the two Huo Yuan Flowers he had obtained before, one of which had already been put into his stomach, and most of the medicinal power was used to treat his injuries, and now there was one lying in his package.

"It's an option. Ghost Hand nodded, "But the vast majority of Heavenly Treasures have limited medicinal power, they will not be increased indefinitely, and they are easy to develop resistance, and generally after taking them twice, they will not have much effect." ”

"Then change a few varieties a few more times. Xiao Lin nodded thoughtfully.

The ghost hand was helpless: "Do you really think that these heavenly treasures are cabbage, I am afraid that the effect will not be bad if you spend the time you are looking for in cultivation." ”

"Instructor, do you have any books on pharmacology that I can take and see. Xiao Lin asked, "I can study it first, just in case." ”

Ghost Hand shook his head, this kid's patience is really poor, and he thinks about taking shortcuts all day long: "I do have a copy there, I'll call you to get it when I'm free, gather now first." ”

Xiao Lin nodded, and walked towards the place of residence with some cheerfulness, and the ghost hand followed behind and shook his head helplessly.

The students gathered one after another, and Xiao Lin stood at the back of the team, thinking about how to quickly improve his combat power.

"Listen to it all!" Ghost Hand said loudly as he cleared his throat as he stood at the front, "You've been here for a month, and I've basically told you everything that this joint practice can teach you, and it's up to you to master it." ”

On the other side, the domain lord has been sitting under the pergola, always holding a pot of wine in his hand, the old god is looking at those young faces, there is a smile on the corner of his mouth, and there is a light of memory in his eyes: "I still remember the days of training back then, and before I know it, I have seen more than 20 classes of students. ”

The gaze of the ghost hand stayed on each student's face for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Don't think that your task has been completed, the next two months will be the real test, you better listen carefully to me." ”

Each student looked up at the ghost hand, attentive to the next words.

"Three days later, the trial of this joint training is about to begin, let's talk about a statistic, the number of students participating in this trial in each class is about 200. "On average, twenty-three people died, thirty-five were seriously injured and disabled, and one hundred and forty-two were lightly injured. ”

Xiao Lin's face changed after hearing this, there were about fifty students in their three branches here, which meant that there would be eight students dead, nearly ten disabled, and no one could avoid the risk of injury.

"Do you think this trial is too harsh for you? The ghost hand looked at the student in front of him and said, "Then let me tell you another set of data, the adult ability of the Black Court attends three thousand times a year, and the casualties are two-thirds, close to two thousand!"

"It's too dangerous. I don't know which student muttered in a low voice, saying what all the students thought.

Xiao Lin nodded sympathetically, if this data is true, for every three people who go out, at least two people will be injured or die, and the risk factor is not ordinarily high.

"The requirements for this trial will be specified next. Ghost Hand said in a deep voice, "Listen carefully, don't blame me if you die accidentally." ”

All the students immediately tensed up and looked serious, not wanting to miss a single word that the ghost hand said next.

Ghost Hand was very satisfied with the reaction of the students, nodded and continued: "This trial lasts for two months, and there is no protection from the Black Court during these two months, of course, we will ensure that nothing like last time will happen, you can rest assured of this." ”

Xiao Lin breathed a sigh of relief, if the black court didn't care about anything, a high-level ability could destroy him if he came in, fortunately, this trial also had a bottom line, after all, the purpose was to make the students stronger, not to let the students die.

"In the trials of these two months, according to the team you formed before, you can't return to the residential area, you can only move and survive in the forest, and at the same time, the Black Court will put down two hundred criminals in this area, the weakest criminal is the eighth-level ability, and the strongest is the seventh-level peak. ”

"Different criminals have their own points, and you will receive a message from me on the compass later. "All you have to do is kill the criminals and earn as many points as possible, and the top three teams will be rewarded, and the bottom three teams will be miserable." ”

The ghost hand's smile made all the students tremble, Xiao Lin's face was serious, this test was even more difficult than he imagined, this was not simply fighting with criminals, there were many dangers in addition to criminals in the Forest of Powerful Ghosts.

Ghosts are the biggest threat, and if you're unlucky enough to encounter one, you'll be in trouble.

"Okay, there is no training today, and there will be no training in the next three days, so you should seize this last bit of matter and discuss tactics. "Remind you that survival is more important than anything else." With that, he waved his hand and left.

The trainees were quickly disbanded, and everyone gathered together according to their previous groups to discuss tactics, and they were all very wary of being listened to by the other teams.

Xiao Lin and Linglong also got together.

"Any ideas?" Xiao Lin asked.

"Alive. Linglong said lightly.

"This ...... What a good idea. Xiao Lin didn't know how to answer, so now, let's take one step at a time.

Three days, in the blink of an eye.
