Chapter 37: Combat Division One

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

On the rainy night, countless gazes were locked onto Lin Yuan.

Yet, Lin Yuan’s gaze was locked onto the hideous human face, and he pulled the trigger in the sky without hesitation!

Bang!

A gunshot suddenly sounded, and a blue flame bullet fell from the sky, shooting into the hideous face of the human-faced centipede.

The bullet seemed to tear through everything, drilling into the human-faced centipede’s head and exploding inside.

Boom!

“Ao!”

A horrifying scream sounded in the night. Everyone could only see the human-faced centipede’s head seemed to be burning with blue flames.

In the next moment, the ferocious human face gradually shattered!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Lin Yuan did not care about the consequences and fired four shots consecutively in the air.

He forcefully used up all of his Blue Flame Stone mechanical energy, afraid that the struggling human-faced centipede survived at its last breath.

After landing steadily, Lin Yuan immediately turned to look at the human-faced centipede not far away.

After its head was filled with blue flame, the human-faced centipede soon lost all of its vitality.

Its huge body fell on the ground and crashed into an ancient tree.

Plop.

Plop.

The moment the human-faced centipede fell, Han Yu and Wu Di fell and sat down, allowing the rain to hit their bodies.

They did not feel the slightest bit of joy when they killed the human-faced centipede.

Instead, they felt a kind of exhaustion from the inside out.

“D*mn it, if it comes again, I’ll die for him to see…”

Han Yu continuously released high-intensity spirit skills, and his spirit energy was completely exhausted.

Wu Di was even worse off. His injuries that had not fully healed were aggravated by the continuous high-intensity exertion of strength.

The moment the battle stopped, he felt intense pain. Lying flat in the water, he panted heavily.

A white light flashed. Jiang Lu used her Basic Healing Technique with all her might to complete the duty that a medical-type martial artist should do.

The chaotic rainy night just now became extremely quiet at this moment.

Only the sound of heavy rain falling on the ground could be heard.

Lin Yuan came to the side of Wu Di, who was lying flat on the ground. He actually saw a smile on Wu Di’s face.

For the first time in his life, Wu Di felt like he was needed by the team and the others. This sense of responsibility was very strong, but it was full of aftertaste.

“Why are you smiling?”

“Nothing.”

“It f*cking hurts. Hurry up and give me a hand.”

“Ah…”

..

Military Base 21.

“Four rookies can actually kill a level three human-faced centipede?”

“The quality of these freshmen is very high.”

After watching the whole process of the extreme combat assessment of Lin Yuan’s team, the instructors discussed among themselves.

Even Zheng Yin showed a rare look of surprise.

Zheng Yin looked at the five people on the screen who were supporting each other while looking for a place to settle down, she turned her head and asked, “How many people do you think can enter Combat Division 1?”

A middle-aged instructor with a mature expression supported his chin and said, “These four are not bad.”

“Especially that mechanical-type kid. Old Luo would be very happy to see him.”

Someone around echoed, “Yeah.”

“The goldie and the lightning girl’s adaptability is very strong.”

“That little brat’s talent in spirit energy control is not ordinary.”

In the battle just now, although Han Yu was a little flustered at the beginning, he released a few spirit skills very well after he calmed down.

Even when his spirit energy was exhausted, he could still ensure the stability of his spirit skills.

As for the yellow-haired and the thunder-type girl, one of them was lightning-type while the other was thunder-type.

Their Basic Martial Arts were solid, and their ability to judge the battle situation was not bad. They were both unpolished gems in the art of war.

As for Lin Yuan, he was even more amazing. But at the moment, the instructor was unable to make a judgment on Lin Yuan’s mechanical-type combat mode.

The Tianshui Military Academy’s first-year combat division was divided into Combat Division 1 to Combat Division 5.

All five-men outstanding teams that arrived at the military academy within 25 days would enter Combat Division 2.

Five-member teams that passed would enter Combat Division 3, and those that failed would enter Combat Division 4.

As for the other two divisions, Combat Division 1 was the focus of training talents that displayed extremely strong combat strength or potential during the assessment.

Combat Division 5 was simply a rubbish heap.

To be able to enter a military academy, one’s talent won’t be too bad.

It was not easy to enter Combat Division 5 under such circumstances. It was not too much to describe them as rubbish martial artists.

Zheng Yin nodded. Her opinion was basically the same as theirs.

“Alright.”

Actually, it was closely related to Lin Yuan for this temporarily formed team to be able to quickly adapt to this environment.

If Lin Yuan had not been so calm during the process, the performance of the team would have been completely different.

…

Next to the fire.

After a night of fighting in the rain, the four of them collapsed by the fire in the cave.

Jiang Lu looked very serious and tried her best to cast her healing spell. Her forehead was full of sweat.

“Lu, take a rest…”

Han Yu could not bear to say this.

Jiang Lu raised her hand to wipe the sweat off her forehead. She shook her head and said, “I’m fine.”

“You guys rest well later. I’ll help you to watch.”

Along the way, the four of them had completely protected Jiang Lu.

Every dangerous and difficult battle, she could only stand at the back and watch. It was always these four people who rushed forward to fight.

The only thing she could do as a medical-type martial artist was to do her best to help the other four people recover quickly.

Other than that, she could do nothing else.

Lin Yuan nodded. “Okay, thank you for your hard work.”

After a night of fierce battle, it was almost dawn.

Everyone’s spirit energy and physical condition were very poor. It was impossible for them to continue moving forward under such circumstances.

Lin Yuan decisively told the team to stop and rest for a day and a night.

He would wait until Wu Di’s injuries were healed by Jiang Lu.

The fire grew stronger and quickly dispelled the darkness, warming up the cold cave.

A light crackling sound was heard in the fire.

It was the sound of firewood burning. It was crisp and mesmerizing.

Wu Di grimaced in pain under Jiang Lu’s treatment, but he forced himself to endure it.

“I really can’t take it anymore.”

“If I have to do it again, I’ll die for them to see…”

Han Yu felt his body go limp, and he couldn’t exert any strength. Leaning against the rock wall, he asked Jiang Yining, “Sister Ning, why did you join the army?”

The Han family and Jiang family were both aristocratic families in Qingshan City, and they knew each other quite well.

Han Yu joined the army because of his father, who was still at the front line. Han Yu had said this before.

However, Jiang Yining, a girl from an aristocratic family, had chosen to join the army. This was indeed a little surprising.

Jiang Yining’s expression changed slightly. She smiled bitterly and said, “It’s nothing.”

“I just feel that the army is a little purer.”

Seeing that Jiang Yining did not want to say anything more, the few of them did not continue speaking.

Lin Yuan leaned against the bonfire and lay down. His eyelids twitched, and his vision became dimmer slowly. He had completely fallen asleep.

Early in the morning, the weak sunlight seeped into the cave through the vines.

The fire had already been extinguished, leaving only the burnt traces and charcoal.

Lin Yuan pushed away the vines and walked out of the cave. Jiang Lu was holding on to her exhausted body, observing the situation around her for everyone.

“Jiang Lu.”

When Jiang Lu heard the voice, she turned around and happened to see Lin Yuan coming out of the cave. Her face was slightly red.

“Ah!”

Lin Yuan smiled and said, “You go and have a rest.”

“Thank you for your hard work.”

“Okay..”
