Chapter 38: Arrival after 21 Days!

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

Psychology, environment, survival, unity, and willpower.

These were the five aspects of Tianshui Military Academy’s freshmen assessment.

The night of the extreme rain battle allowed the five members of the team to delay for a full day and night before they set off again.

After confirming that the other four members of the team, except for Jiang Lu, had entered Combat Division One, the base stopped testing Lin Yuan’s team.

Without the pressure of a level three fierce beast, based on the current ability, mentality, and experience of Lin Yuan’s team, they would not be in a dangerous situation under the siege of a normal level two fierce beast.

In the Ten Thousand Beasts Canyon, almost all the teams that had performed well in the first half of the assessment had been tested, and a group of freshmen had emerged.

As long as they could successfully arrive at the military academy, they would be able to successfully enter Combat Division 1.

…

“Hu…”

As he approached the Twin Peaks Snow Mountain, Lin Yuan could clearly feel the cold air under his feet. It was so cold that he stomped his feet.

It was already the thirteenth day since they left the military base. The whole process was within Lin Yuan’s expectations.

“It’s too d*mn cold…”

Han Yu squeezed his body and released his spirit energy to protect his body from the cold.

Jiang Yining looked up at the sky. “Look.”

Hum hum hum…

In the sky above Twin Peaks Snow Mountain, several helicopters were circling, ready to rescue the freshmen who were in a bad situation at any time.

It was rare to see so many helicopters in the previous areas.

Similar to their previous guess, the fierce beast attacks were under the control of the military academy and would not harm their lives.

However, fighting against nature was completely different.

The highest elevation of Twin Peaks Snow Mountain was 14,511 meters, and the temperature was extremely low. If one wanted to stay here, they had to use their spirit energy to fight against it.

For a level two martial artist, this was not a small consumption.

In addition to the difficulty of the snowy mountain road, they had to gather the spirit energy of five people together and support each other in order to get through it.

This was the unity in the assessment.

“We can’t stay on the snowy mountain for too long. We’ll need to cross the snowy mountain in three days.”

“We’ll reach here tonight. We’ll cross the snowy mountain all day tomorrow and try to reach this position before the sky gets dark.”

Lin Yuan marked two locations on the map.

They were the camps at the front mountain and the back mountain.

Although the highest elevation of Twin Peaks Snow Mountain was more than 10,000 meters, there was no need for them to take the most difficult path.

“Okay.”

“No problem.”

The four of them nodded and followed Lin Yuan step by step on the snow as they walked toward the camp on the mountainside.

After 14 days of experience, everyone’s mentality had undergone an earth-shattering change.

From the initial nervousness to a breakdown, to getting used to it, and finally to the confidence they had at this moment, this was the purpose of the military academy’s freshmen assessment.

The camp in the mountains was bone-chilling cold.

However, the five people who had started the fire were roasting sawtooth horse meat. They took turns keeping vigil, releasing their spirit energy to protect each other while they rested.

Soon, a night passed.

The next morning, everyone took advantage of the slight increase in temperature to set foot on the road to cross the Twin Peaks Snow Mountain.

Wu Di was at the front. With every breath, a bone-chilling chill was sucked into his lungs, and he felt a slight tingling pain.

As they climbed higher, the snowstorm on the snow mountain was also getting stronger!

“The five of us need to stay close!”

“Circulate your spirit energy!”

“Okay.”

In this environment, the five of them did not care about whether men and women were intimate or not. They supported each other.

The previously vast and desolate land was gradually replaced by the snow, and the temperature of the surrounding air was constantly dropping.

The snow-capped mountains towered into the clouds. From time to time, a blizzard would pour down, accompanied by a violent cold current.

Three level three martial artists, Wu Di, Jiang Yining, and Han Yu, took turns leading the team.

Five level two martial artists could safely pass through the Twin Peaks Snow Mountains together, so it was not difficult in theory.

Jiang Lu almost slipped twice after exhausting herself, but she was quickly lifted up by Lin Yuan and Jiang Yining.

The spirit energy of the five of them formed a whole and continued to move forward.

Rumble!

When they reached the peak, Lin Yuan kept observing the situation around him and growled in a low voice, “Faster!”

“There’s a small avalanche here!”

“Okay!”

Just as they passed through a depression, they suddenly felt a tremor under their feet.

Then, they heard a loud noise.

On the snowy mountain, a huge mountain-like snow block slid down like a waterfall!

Wu Di turned around and cursed when he saw the small avalanche, “F*ck!”

“Everything I’m afraid of would land!”

“I’m really the main character!”

With a loud rumble, the snow on the small hill slid down!

Seeing the scale of the avalanche, Lin Yuan gathered the mechanical power in his hand and quickly formed a shield in front of him.

“It’s not big!”

“Hold on tight!”

“Ah!”

As the earth and mountains shook, countless snow hit Lin Yuan’s shield. The shocking impact shocked the five of them.

After using all their strength, the five of them were still flipped over and slid down with the small avalanche!

However, because the scale of the avalanche was not big, they were not injured or buried in the snow when they stopped sliding down.

“Come!”

Lin Yuan pulled Jiang Lu up from the snow and shouted to the people behind him, “Are you hurt?”

Han Yu and Jiang Yining replied one after another, “I’m fine.”

“No!”

Wu Di’s body was trembling as he said, “Hurry… Hurry up…”

Fortunately, this was the snow mountain that was controlled by the Tianshui Kingdom.

If it was a real snow mountain filled with fierce beasts, they would not be able to handle two fierce beasts at this moment.

The five of them walked shoulder to shoulder in the snowstorm.

…

Twenty-one days had passed since the assessment.

When Lin Yuan and the others passed through the Tianshui Plain and saw the modern metropolis in the distance, they all smiled brightly.

“We’re finally here!”

“Ah…”

“It’s not easy!”

They were so happy when they were about to reach the finish line.

Even the originally beautiful Jiang Yining was dirty all over.

After 21 days of training, they couldn’t be said to have completely transformed.

But to a certain extent, they were already ahead of the geniuses who had just set off for the martial arts academy.

“Let’s go!”

The five of them walked side by side towards the city in front of them.

…

Tianshui City was a separate city.

In the center of the city was the southwest branch of Tianshui Military Academy.

All the students of the military academy in the entire southwest were there to undergo arduous training and become real soldiers.

Of course, there were also a few civilians and merchants in the city.

Many civilians were the direct relatives of the soldiers.

For example, when a certain soldier retired and became an instructor at the Tianshui Military Academy, his wife and children would inevitably live in Tianshui City.

Some of the direct descendants of the soldiers had grown up near the military academy since they were young. Their growth trajectory was completely different from that of Lin Yuan and the others.

The vendors were all specially supplied by the military. They were all at cost prices and could only be exchanged with credits.

This was also to stimulate the enthusiasm of the new cadets in their cultivation.

These resources were to be piled up on top of these new cadets.

After entering Tianshui City, they felt a sense of absent-mindedness.

They were not used to returning to the city from the fierce battle in the wild.

The sun was already setting.

Lin Yuan led the team through two streets and soon found the south gate of Tianshui Military Academy.

At the south gate, military academy staff wearing military uniforms were registering the arrival of a team from another province..
