An invitation letter from Akio University on the island of Taishima was sent.

Wang Guoqi, the president of Hanhai University, immediately asked people to gather a few students who had been selected a long time ago, and he personally brought the invitation letter to find Zhou Ran.

Zhou Ran is still not like Yin Guangjie, Luo Chaosheng and Wen Liu, even if he quits military training, he is still working hard in the gym, he has not even bothered to walk out of the villa these days, most of the time he is either lying on the bed and falling asleep, or sitting in front of the window in a daze, as if the whole person is in a state of soul flying out of the sky.

It has been more than half a month since the start of military training, and among the small number of borrowed students, some are really desperate, and some people are pretending to persist for a few days and finally can't pretend to show their temperament.

Following Zhou Ran, one lazy person after another appeared in Longchi Academy.

Compared with Zhou Ran, who seems to have nothing to worry about, those children of the family who can't endure great hardships do not hesitate to spend a lot of money to get in touch with formal students, and all kinds of strange things are indeed easy to attract people's hearts. Some rare things from several secret lands are often the favorite of many people, and it is even more attractive if you can get the flesh and blood of some fierce beasts in the dense lands and eat them.

The four secret lands are now under development, but they are not greatly developed, and the secret land and the outside trade routes are still tightly held in the hands of several major consortia, and outsiders have no chance to interfere at all.

Just like the flesh and blood of many fierce beasts in the dense ground, it is currently only exclusively for certain special legions, and only a small part of it will enter the market. And these things will be pulled into their hands by the major wealthy families as soon as they appear. Ordinary people may not have heard of it, let alone seen it.

The big family at the top has begun to collect the four secret lands for production, and once the four secret lands enter the real stage of development, this popular wind will definitely blow all over ordinary people in a very short time.

When a group of borrowers pretended to be desperate, Zhou Ran, who chose to quit from the beginning of military training, was definitely an outlier.

Nowadays, when many borrowing students pretend to be unable to go on and start spending money to win people's hearts, Zhou Ran, who doesn't do anything or even rarely talks to people, still looks like an outlier.

Wang Guoqi had already determined that Wen Liu and the three of them were not here before he came here, and it was not difficult for him, who was dressed in civilian clothes and whose strength had reached the innate third realm, to avoid everyone's sight and come here. In the entire Hanhai University, probably only the chief instructor of the Star Vertical Realm can find out one or two, but how could that military boss have the leisure to secretly pay attention to his every move?

"Minister Zhou, you are ......"

It has only been a few days since I met Zhou Ran last week and talked about the exchange of students on Taiwan Island, and Wang Guoqi saw Zhou Ran again, but found that he seemed to be seriously ill. But anyone who has reached the innate realm can be introverted. On the surface, it looks no different from ordinary people, but the essence that occasionally emerges in the depths of his eyes is like the stars in the night sky. At this time, Zhou Ran not only had no splendor in his eyes, but his whole person's breath was also a little fluctuating, and his face was even more sallow.

Zhou Ran, who looked a little sluggish, shook his head lightly and said, "It's okay." ”

"Are you alright?"

Wang Guoqi said worriedly.

Zhou Ran is the current chief official of the Ministry of Supervision, and he is the successor of the Zhou and Tang families, if something happens to Hanhai University, he, the principal, will have to do it.

"It's fine. ”

Zhou Ran nodded, and then asked, "The date for going to Taiwan Island has been set?"

"The day after tomorrow. ”

Wang Guoqi put the invitation on the table, and he said to Zhou Ran seriously: "If Minister Zhou is physically inconvenient......

"No!"

Zhou Ran said: "How many people from Hanhai University have gone over this time?"

"Ten people. ”

Wang Guoqi said: "Two junior teaching assistants, five freshmen, two borrowers, and Minister Zhou. ”

After speaking, Wang Guoqi took out the information of the other nine people and put them on the table.

The two junior assistant teachers are named Chu Moling and Sang Yufa, both of them are the strength of the Guiyuan Realm, they have been to the Mirror Lake Secret Land more than once to participate in the siege and killing of fierce beasts, and they have also performed some special tasks of the Ministry of Supervision, and the real combat power may not belong to the top column of the Guiyuan Realm, but it is far beyond the ordinary Guiyuan Realm.

Among the two borrowed students, there is one person who Zhou Ran is very familiar with, it is Luo Chaosheng who lives with him.

The other is named Hua Xitian, a member of the Hua family in Guangzhou.

After Zhou Ran, he was the second student to withdraw from the military academy.

Hua Xitian and Luo Chaosheng are both level 5 in physical fitness.

The remaining five formal students are: Du Ruofei, Geng Heqiu, Zhu Cunmo, Tang Qingyu and Shen Shutong.

Among these five people, only Du Ruofei has reached the ninth level of physical fitness, Geng Heqiu and Zhu Cunmo have the eighth level of physical fitness, and Tang Qingyu and Shen Shutong are the seventh level of physical fitness.

The number and strength of exchange students are in accordance with the convention.

After reading it, Wang Guoqi took out another document and handed it to Zhou Ran, saying, "These are the four students we are going to bring from Mingxiong University this time. ”

Wang Guoqi continued: "There is news from the Military Secretariat Bureau that someone on the island of Taiwan has paid to hire Southeast Asian killers to organize Rainforest. As soon as these four students from Mingxiong University stepped out of Taiwan, those killers would kill people, and the situation was similar for the other three schools. ”

Zhou Ran paid very little attention to this aspect, he did not go to see the information of the four people on Taiwan Island, but asked Wang Guoqi: "Is there any information about the rainforest?"

Wang Guoqi nodded and dictated directly: "The rainforest was originally created by the eleven countries of Southeast Asia, and it was to train masters for the alliance. Later, the Eleven-nation alliance fell apart, and the rainforest disappeared with it. ”

"Ten years ago, the eleven nations were preparing to form another alliance, but a few of the dignitaries who were the first to propose them died tragically overnight. ”

Wang Guoqi continued: "The word rainforest reappeared in front of the eyes of the world at that time. ”

"At present, the rainforest is already one of the top five killer organizations in the world, and at its peak, the rainforest had a total of thirteen innate realms, and the first star powerhouse that appeared in the eleven countries of Southeast Asia died in the hands of those thirteen people. ”

Wang Guoqi said: "The momentum of the rainforest now seems to be far less than it was in its heyday, and most of the thirteen congenitals of that year were missing. When it comes to danger, the rainforests are even more terrifying today than they were at their peak. The Military Secret Bureau has been paying attention to the rainforest for the past few years, and according to the dark line report that has been dormant in the rainforest for many years, it is likely that a terrifying killer in the rainforest has appeared in the starry realm. ”

When Zhou Ran heard this, he said unexpectedly: "Star Killer?"

"Yes!"

Wang Guoqi said with a faint look in his eyes: "This can be regarded as the most powerful killer of all time, right?!"

Zhou Ran was noncommittal and asked, "Is he the hired killer on Taiwan Island?"

"It's not. ”

Wang Guoqi shook his head and said, "But it is likely to be one of the thirteen people back then." ”

Zhou Ran didn't answer, casually picked up the information of the four students of Mingxiong University on the table, and said while reading: "You say, could that Star Vertical Killer be one of the two mysterious masters who suddenly appeared in Sun Moon Lake?"

"It's possible. ”

When Wang Guoqi was on the phone with Wan Guofeng of the Ministry of Military Affairs before, he heard Wan Guofeng say this guess.

Zhou Ran then asked, "There are also people staring at the other three universities?"

"Yes. ”

Wang Guoqi said: "Minister Wan has already communicated with the three presidents, and if they encounter a situation where they can't do anything, they can bring someone to Mingxiong University to ask us for help." ”

Zhou Ran bowed slightly, but his face suddenly sank, threw the information in his hand back on the table, and said, "What does Hong Qinghui mean again?"

Wang Guoqi smiled silently, didn't say yes or no.

Hong Qinghui is the head of the nine generalissimos, and he was not visible when Tang Lao did not retire, and after Tang Lao retired, no one in the military could compare with Hong Qinghui's prestige.

The veteran ruffian who dared to point at Tang Lao and scold the street, Feng Wanli, couldn't count the number of times he was deflated in Hong Qinghui's hands.

This orphaned man who has never married in his life has sat in the highest position in the military by his own ability.

In today's military, there are very few people who can respect Zhou Ranfa from the bottom of his heart.

Hong Qinghui is one of them.

In the face of major rights and wrongs, Zhou Ran definitely does not care. But he always had the feeling that others had dug a pit and were waiting for him to jump in, which made him a little unhappy.

Zhou Ran thought for a while and asked, "Why didn't Guan Shanhai make a move on the rainforest in the first place?"

Wang Guoqi said succinctly: "At that time, the high-level felt that the rainforest still had a need to exist. ”

Zhou Ran laughed silently and asked, "What now?"

"Now it's up to you. ”

Zhou Ran was a little speechless, and asked instead, "What's the situation in Sakurajima Country?"

Wang Guoqi laughed inexplicably and said: "It is also a coincidence that several universities in Sakurajima have also established an exchange mechanism with Taiwan universities, and it happens to start this year. ”

Zhou Ran rubbed his temples and said, "The package doesn't include Mingxiong University?"

"It's not just Mingxiong University. ”

Wang Guoqi said: "It's all universities that have an exchange mechanism with the mainland. ”

Zhou Ran said expressionlessly: "What is the current national strength of Sakura Island Country?"

"Very strong!"

"How strong?!"

"It's only behind the two superpowers and the big five. ”

Zhou Ran asked, "In addition to the Toyama Secret Land, has Sakurajima Country found other secret lands?"

"Not really. ”

Wang Guoqi said with a relaxed smile: "It's good that Sakurajima Country can have a rich mountain dense land. ”

Zhou Ran asked again: "I remember that Guan Shanhai seemed to go to Sakura Island Country alone. ”

"Yes. ”

Wang Guoqi smiled: "Guanbu...... Guan Shanhai also confronted several gatekeepers in Toyama. ”

Zhou Ran didn't know much about this, and asked, "What is the result?"

"Four of the seven janitors died, and the other three were almost deposed. ”

Wang Guoqi said: "If it weren't for the Sakurajima country's national protector who came in time at the last moment, maybe Guan Shanhai would really have to go to Toyama to walk around." ”

Zhou Ran raised his eyebrows, and said with a slight surprise: "Master of protecting the country?"

Wang Guoqi nodded heavily, and said with a serious look in the back student: "That's the old monster cultivated by the Sakurashima country with hundreds of years of national fortune, and it crossed the gate of heaven not long ago. ”

"Another one who has crossed the gate of heaven!"

Zhou Ran muttered softly, he felt more and more that the heaven and earth that was sealed for thousands of miles and called the ancestral land became more and more unfathomable, and he was even a little looking forward to how many masters would appear after the real spirit tide broke out.

"If it's just some rainforest killer organization, and Sakurajima country exchange students, you shouldn't find me. ”

Zhou Ran said: "Let's talk about the point!"

Wang Guoqi only said two words: "Country A!"

"Country A?"

"Yes!"

Wang Guoqi said: "Whether it's the rainforest or the Sakurajima country, these are just seasoning clowns, and what the high-level really cares about is country A." ”

Country A is a superpower formed by the world's largest power, country M, and dozens of ancient countries in Europe, and it is also the only existence that can be ranked with China today.

Wang Guoqi said: "One of the two mysterious masters who appeared in Sun Moon Lake is from country A!"

"Are you sure?"

"Sure!"

"I see!"

Zhou Ran finally knew why a small island could attract Hong Qinghui's attention. He looked at Wang Guoqi and said, "There won't be a new secret land on the other side of Sun Moon Lake, right?"

Wang Guoqi nodded heavily and said, "There is such a possibility!"
