Military Training Ends

Seeing everyone fighting so fiercely, Chen Jianshu felt his body boiling with excitement and rolled up his sleeves, ready to engage in a fierce battle.

"A Shu, wait! This is too dangerous!"

Seeing Chen Jianshu heading to the battlefield, Gu Yue couldn't help but worry and immediately tried to dissuade him. Chen Jianshu completely ignored her, thinking, "What a joke! Me, avoiding his sharp edge?"

"Everyone else is fighting tooth and nail, how can I slack off in the rear! I must fight! Fight!! I'm a man!"

He shouted and rushed forward, snatched the Asura Demon Sword from Wu Bingyu's hand, and leaped off the city wall.

The surrounding area was engulfed in flames of war, with countless Abyss Creatures from the abyss perishing. The air was thick with smoke, creating a scene straight out of a purgatory.

However, no one died. After all, it was all Projection. If a fatal attack was about to occur, the Evil Emperor would control the attack to deflect it. If you lost the ability to resist, the Abyss Creatures around you would ignore you.

Otherwise, people would have died long ago in such a fierce battle. Chen Jianshu wielded the massive Asura Demon Sword and slammed it down, instantly blasting away numerous Abyss Creatures.

"Noble Phantasm Projection! The Asura Demon Sword!"

Chen Jianshu Projection another Asura Demon Sword, then wielded one in each hand, continuously wielding the crimson sword light, slicing the surrounding Abyss Creatures in half.

"Phantom Rotation Technique!"

The Chen Jianshu began to spin, relentlessly crushing the surrounding Abyss Creatures like a spinning top, truly a meat grinder of the Abyss.

Soon, a Predator at the Titled Douluo level attacked. Upon seeing this, golden Dragon Scales appeared on its body, and it charged forward wielding a huge Asura Demon Sword, bringing the sword down with it.

Bang!

With a muffled thud, countless spiderweb-like cracks appeared beneath the Predator's feet. With a furious roar from Chen Jianshu, the Asura Demon Sword severed off the predator's crimson-green arm.

Blood splattered everywhere, Predator let out a miserable howl. Without hesitation, Chen Jianshu wielded his twin swords, chopping the predator into mincemeat with each strike.

Surrounded once again by numerous Abyss Creatures, Chen Jianshu continued to wield his two giant swords.

Surrounding them, Gu Yue, Gu Xuanyu, and Na'er were all keeping an eye on Chen Jianshu's situation. If there was any danger, they would immediately take action.

With everyone's combined efforts, the war finally came to an end. After fighting for two whole days, everyone was exhausted.

Under the intense pressure of the battle, Chen Jianshu broke through one level and directly reached level forty-six.

After the battle, he felt exhausted and, without caring that the floor was dirty, lay down immediately.

"Phew! It's finally over. This Military Training was exhausting. I probably never want to Military Training again!"

Chen Jianshu, lying on his back on the ground, couldn't help but sigh. Around him, the members of the Star Dou Corps, though exhausted, were all excited. They had won this seemingly impossible Military Training.

"We won!"

"We won! Yay!"

"My God! The Abyss is terrifying!"

Countless people wept with joy, then collapsed to the ground, exhausted. Na'er was the first to come to his side, and lay down beside him, resting her head on his arm.

"Brother, we won!"

"Yes, we won."

Looking at Na'er, who was resting her head on his left arm, Chen Jianshu smiled and reached out to pat her head.

Gu Yue looked at Na'er nestled in Chen Jianshu, puffed out her cheeks, and then quickly walked over and lay down next to Na'er on her right.

"Gu Yue, what are you doing lying here too?"

Looking at the other person resting their head on their right hand, a question mark appeared above his head. The other person blushed and explained:

"It's uncomfortable to lie on the floor, I want to rest my head on your arm."

"All right."

He didn't pay much attention to the answer, but soon, Gu Xuanyu, Ye Xinglan, Wu Siduo, and Xu Xiaoyan all ran over.

They all looked exhausted, and then unceremoniously rested their heads on Chen Jianshu's arms.

Three people were nestled on each of Chen Jianshu's arms, making it seem a bit crowded, but they were all his wings, making him appear like a six-winged angel.

Now, there was no room for his arm. Wu Bingyu glanced at her ancestor and said with a look of exasperation:

"Ancestor, you'd better step up!"

Wang Dong glanced at Chen Jianshu, who was already full of space, and couldn't help but complain that girls in this era had no sense of propriety at all.

In the end, she also chose to lie down and rest next to Chen Jianshu. She was simply too exhausted; she couldn't withstand such intense combat.

Xiao Xiao, Meng Hongchen, Wu Bingyu were also lying not far from Chen Jianshu, while Xue Liushuang and Weng Daimin were also lying hand in hand not far away.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Zhang Yangzi and Wang Jinxi were lying together, and Tang Wulin and Xie Xie were lying together, all holding hands. After this Military Training, they had become even closer to each other, and they were all brothers who would risk their lives for each other.

Yuanen Yehui and Qian Xue sat on the Cold Trench, their faces showing exhaustion, wishing they could go back and sleep for the rest of their lives.

Dai Yun'er, who had always maintained the proper image of a young lady of the Dai Family, now disregarded her manners and sat on the city wall.

Coming to their senses, everyone still felt as if they were dreaming. Their Star Dou Corps, including NPCs, only had 295 members, yet they had actually defeated an army of 20,000 abyssal Abyss Creatures.

Even novels wouldn't dare write something like this. Posei Shui, Mu Xi, and the others were so exhausted they couldn't even move a finger, and Yue Zhengyu collapsed into bed without any regard for his image.

Just as everyone was resting wearily, the surrounding scene changed instantly, leaving Chen Jianshu stunned.

Everything around them shifted from the battlefield to an unfamiliar place, followed by a feeling of weightlessness as everyone plummeted downwards.

The next second, Chen Jianshu felt the breath of life rush towards him, and then he landed on the solid floor again. He immediately got up, and the girls who had been resting their heads on his arms also sat up.

What came into view was no longer a scene of ice and snow and war, but a vast forest, and in the center of this forest was a huge, boundless, turquoise lake.

An incredibly rich Life Energy rushed towards him, and Chen Jianshu felt every pore on his body greedily absorbing this Life Energy.

"This is the Lake of Life?!"

Gu Yue recognized it. Wasn't this her house? Where did she come from? Why was she delivered to her doorstep?

Just as everyone was stunned, Di Tian's figure appeared behind them, and he said loudly:

"Congratulations on completing your Military Training. You will have two days to cultivate by the Lake of Life for free, which is also your holiday. Oh, and remember to wash yourself by the lake and don't dirty the water."

Di Tian pointed to a well-sized villa not far from the Lake of Life, indicating that everyone should go and clean it up. Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up.

Wow, that's awesome! Two days of free training at the Lake of Life! That's incredibly generous!

In the bathhouse of the villa by the Lake of Life the Star Dou Great Forest, Chen Jianshu was washing himself in the men's bathhouse. This time, Wang Dong couldn't enter the men's bathhouse, since there were too many people.

"Xie Xie, I dropped my soap, could you help me pick it up?"

Just then, Tang Wulin's soap fell to the ground, landing right at Xie Xie's feet. He immediately asked Xie Xie for help.

"Okay."

Upon hearing this, Xie Xie responded and immediately bent down to pick up the soap. Tang Wulin quickly appeared behind him, seemingly having discovered a business opportunity and wanting to invest. As for which business? Who knows?

The women's bathhouse is divided into two areas: one is a bathing area where everyone soaks together, and the other is a shower stall.

Since there were only ten shower stalls, they thought queuing up one by one was too slow, so they took a bath together without showering first, so they could finish showering sooner and start their cultivation sooner.

Five minutes passed quickly, and Chen Jianshu was the first to finish showering. He came out wearing a bathrobe and checked his phone to see the time limit for his cultivation in the Lake of Life.

Everyone is guaranteed at least two days of free training time, and the better one performs during Military Training, the more free training time one receives. His free training time is half a month.

Just as he was about to go to the Lake of Life to cultivate, he was suddenly stopped, and a voice transmission resounded in his mind.

"Young friend, may I have a word with you?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Jianshu looked in the direction of the voice and gazed into the depths of the forest. His incomparably powerful Spiritual Power of the Spirit Abyss Realm spread out, as deep as an abyss or a prison, reaching from the highest heavens to the deepest hells.

He quickly spotted a tall, robust old man with white hair. Who was this? A question arose in his mind, since he didn't recognize the old man.

However, this was the Lake of Life in the Star Dou Great Forest, the territory of the Di Tian. He immediately took a step forward, and in an instant, the space flickered. He covered fifty meters in one step and arrived in front of the old man in a few steps.

"Sir, is there something you need?"

He was the first to ask a question, and he dried his wet hair with a towel while sizing up the reserved old man in front of him. The man seemed to be no ordinary person.

He couldn't sense any aura from the other party. If the other party hadn't revealed himself, he would never have been able to find him. Soon, the old man spoke up.

"Young friend, I would like to ask you to pass on an item to my... junior."

"Transferring items? Is it to my classmate?"

Upon hearing the request to transfer the item, Chen Jianshu pondered. Since it was someone he knew who was asking him to transfer the item, it was most likely a classmate.

The person in front of him was named Yuanen Zhentian, Martial Soul Titan Giant Ape. He was Level 99 Limit Douluo and also held an elder's seat in the Spirit Pagoda. However, he was a guest elder, just a figurehead elder who did not participate in any affairs.

He was also Yuanen Yehui's grandfather. Of course, Chen Jianshu didn't know any of this. Also, Yuanen Zhentian had investigated the situation of his granddaughter.

Throughout the journey, he had sent people to protect his granddaughter, who was also arguing with him because he was the one who personally drove her mother away from the Yuanen family.

There was nothing that could be done about it. At that time, demons invaded, and blood flowed like rivers. If it weren't for the support of the Spirit Pagoda, the Yuanen family would probably have been wiped out. In the end, Yuanen Yehui's mother was taken away by Snow Empress. The Spirit Pagoda originally wanted to study the Demon Plane.

Unfortunately, the Demon Plane Seed is currently in Yuanen Yehui's possession, and the higher-ups of the Spirit Pagoda have come up empty-handed.

Yuanen Yehui came to Star Dou City at the behest of their Yuanen family ancestor, the 100,000-year-old Titan Snow Demon Xue Da.

Because this place has the most resources, studying at the Star Dou Spirit Transmission Academy will allow you to obtain more resources that can be used for training.

At the same time, he also learned that Chen Jianshu had taken in Yuanen Yehui. The other party had not done anything excessive, and his granddaughter was doing well. Now that he had appeared, he wanted to give the ten-thousand-year-old spiritual medicine he had obtained to his granddaughter, which was why he approached Chen Jianshu.

"That's right, it's your classmate. You'll find out who it is soon enough."

Yuanen Zhentian reached out, and a brown, sweet potato-like ancient herb appeared in his palm. But that wasn't all; next to the sweet potato was a piece of metal.

At the same time, a huge phantom of a monkey Martial Soul appeared behind the old man. It was the Titan Giant Ape. In an instant, Chen Jianshu understood who the other party wanted him to find.

"Consider this piece of metal as payment. I heard you're a Forging, young friend."

Yuanen Zhentian's hands were exceptionally large; he could easily hold up two items with one hand. Chen Jianshu glanced at them and recognized them as extremely rare Dragon Gen Iron.

This metal is an extremely rare dragon-attribute metal, which can only be born in ley lines where true dragons have lived for many years, and is born from the long-term absorption of dragon energy.

The metal is extremely expensive, almost comparable to the Ice Extreme Divine Crystal. Although there is only one piece, its value is still considerable. This five-kilogram piece of metal is worth several million Federation Coins, and it hasn't even Forging.

"Dragon Gen Iron? Grandpa, you're so generous!"

Looking at the piece of Dragon Gen Iron, he couldn't help but sigh. Yuanen Zhentian stroked his beard and said:

"Young friend, to reach the Level-Six Forging Master at less than eleven years old is a talent unparalleled throughout history. Perhaps you will be the next Divine Craftsman. Consider this piece of metal a friend."

Yuanen Zhentian was also a cunning old fox. After learning that Chen Jianshu was a Level-Six Forging Master who was not even eleven years old, he naturally had the idea of winning him over and befriending him.

"Okay, I'll deliver the items for you."

Seeing this, he readily agreed, took the two items, and headed towards the Lake of Life. Yuanen Zhentian stroked his beard and then disappeared.

After returning to the Lake of Life, Chen Jianshu immediately noticed that people were already cultivating there, mostly boys, since boys tend to bathe faster.

He immediately plunged into the lake, and in an instant, an incredibly rich Power of Life washed over his body, with a large amount of energy surging into his body.

He submerged Clone in the Lake of Life, leaving only his head above water, and began to frantically absorb its energy.

The Lake of Life today is not the same as in the original story; the Star Dou Great Forest in the original story only has a Core Circle left.

The prosperity of the Lake of Life is also related to the size of the Star Dou Great Forest. The more prosperous the forest is, the more abundant its vitality is, and the more Life Energy the Lake of Life will have.

In the original story, the Lake of Life was almost dried up, so the Ferocious Beasts naturally couldn't properly protect Lake of Life.

Now, the area around the Lake of Life and the central island is filled with a large number of spiritual herbs with life attributes, and even Immortal Herbs with life attributes, which is why the Lake of Life is so well preserved.

Chen Jianshu circulated his cultivation technique once and felt that his cultivation efficiency was ten times that of usual! It was so exhilarating! Even more exhilarating than taking off! But let's be honest, taking off is still the most exhilarating thing.
