April 7th, clear skies. Lu Chong skipped school and headed straight to the military camp outside the suburban hunting grounds to gather.

"Just a little more, and I'll reach Martial Apprentice Stage 9."

"As for the Golden Cicada Robe, its cultivation progress is considerable, but my bonus is almost spent. It's a good thing I can earn some more during this special training."

This time, only one hundred third-year students participated in the special training, with First High School alone securing thirty spots.

After all, First High School was the best high school in the city.

Lu Chong quickly spotted Lou Qingqing and Sister Yu beside her.

Besides other students not from Class 5, Lu Chong only recognized a few faces and had barely interacted with most of them.

There was Xiang Yueya and Huang Junyan from Class 1, along with four students at Martial Apprentice Stage 8, and eleven at Martial Apprentice Stage 7. Class 1 alone took up more than half of the school's quota.

Lu Chong didn't know everyone else, but all the students here recognized him, mainly due to his outstanding performance in the mock exam and the subsequent publicity.

"Lu Chong, over here," Lou Qingqing called out to him enthusiastically.

After some close interaction, Lou Qingqing had become quite familiar with Lu Chong and was no longer as shy.

"Hello, Sister Yu," Lu Chong approached Lou Qingqing and politely greeted Sister Yu.

She was a Stage 9 Martial Artist, so it was important to maintain a good relationship.

Sister Yu was still wearing her black suit and large sunglasses that covered half her face. She merely gave Lu Chong a curt nod.

Lu Chong didn't mind. He knew that Sister Yu, despite her cold exterior, had a warm heart. She hadn't skimped on his private tutoring fees during this time.

"Why is Sister Yu here?" Lu Chong leaned closer to Lou Qingqing and asked in a low voice, curious.

Lou Qingqing's face flushed slightly, and she said somewhat sheepishly, "Sister Yu is a bit worried about me, so she's coming along to the wilderness."

So that's how it was.

Lu Chong understood. At the same time, he noticed that several other students had brought their own experts with them.

After all, they were entering the wilderness and would face real exotic beasts. It was understandable for families with the means to provide escorts.

Furthermore, the special training camp didn't seem to prohibit such arrangements.

For example, both Xiang Yueya and Huang Junyan had a Martial Artist escort accompanying them.

"Lu Chong?"

At this moment, a lean male student with a crew cut and a black Zhongshan suit approached Lu Chong and asked.

"I am Lu Chong," Lu Chong looked at him curiously, realizing he wasn't a student from First High School.

The male student had a stern expression and introduced himself, "I am Xue Cheng, from Class 1 of Third High School."

"My teacher speaks highly of you, but I want to compete with you again, during this special training. Let's see who earns more military merits," Xue Cheng said seriously.

Lu Chong then remembered that this Xue Cheng was likely the student from Third High School who placed third in the mock exam, a top student at Martial Apprentice Stage 9.

However, Lu Chong wasn't interested in competing with him. What mattered to him was how much military merit he could earn by hunting exotic beasts during the special training.

As far as he knew, tasks like hunting exotic beasts and collecting medicinal herbs during the special training could be directly exchanged for military merits, and military merits meant resources. This was a great opportunity for him to make money.

After all, after the expenses of the past two days, the rewards he received after the mock exam were almost depleted.

He needed about 200,000 more to cultivate the Golden Cicada Robe to perfection.

"I'm not interested," Lu Chong flatly refused him.

While they were busy comparing themselves, he still had to hustle for a living and cultivation resources.

Sigh!

Children from poor families have to grow up fast.

But Xue Cheng clearly had no intention of giving up. He seemed to know Lu Chong's financial situation well and directly dangled a bait, "If you can win against me again, all my military merits can be yours."

If you had said that earlier, I wouldn't be so sleepy.

As soon as money was mentioned, Lu Chong's interest was piqued, and he said directly, "Okay, it's a deal."

"What if you lose?" Xue Cheng nodded with satisfaction and retorted.

Lu Chong never even considered losing, but he still said humbly, "What do you want?"

"If you lose, I demand that you provide private tutoring to Xiang Yueya for a month, free of charge, with one hour of sparring every day," Xue Cheng stated his demand without hesitation.

Lu Chong was slightly stunned and couldn't help but glance at Xiang Yueya, who was facing away from him in the distance.

Good heavens, this school beauty from First High School has some influence, even affecting students from other schools.

Fortunately, this Xue Cheng was a bit more rational than that Zhao Longfei, at least knowing what he lacked right now.

"No problem." Lu Chong readily agreed.

Only then did Xue Cheng leave with satisfaction.

"Lu Chong, if you really lose, are you going to be Xiang Yueya's private tutor?"

Lou Qingqing, who had been eavesdropping the whole time, sidled up and asked reluctantly.

Lu Chong laughed heartily, "How could I possibly lose? Don't worry, the reward you're giving is so high, I won't be a free private tutor for anyone else."

Lou Qingqing then smiled happily, but still felt something was off.

The students, in small groups, chattered amongst themselves. They waited in the camp until 10:30 AM, when the instructors for this special training finally arrived, fashionably late.

The special training instructors were no longer teachers from the high schools, but true Martial Artists from the military.

There were a total of seven instructors, each standing tall and exuding an aura like an abyss.

Compared to the high school teachers, these instructors possessed a more killing aura, clearly hardened veterans who had experienced real battlefield combat.

Besides the seven instructors, two important figures were also present: Colonel Huang and Principal Fang of Third High School.

With the arrival of these two big shots, the students in the camp quickly quieted down, focusing their attention on them.

"Students, I am your lead instructor for this special training. You can call me Teacher Fang, or simply Old Fang."

"Hello, Principal Fang."

The students recognized the Principal of Third High School, whose reputation was second only to Principal Wei, and they all shouted loudly.

Principal Fang smiled and gestured for them to calm down before saying, "The students selected for special training each year are the promising talents from Guanyun City who will be taking the college entrance examination."

"The reason for organizing this special training is to let you truly experience wilderness combat, as it is closer to the college entrance examination than mock tests."

"These seven instructors here are all from the military, and they are all true Martial Artists who have fought against Exotic Beasts."

"Furthermore, each instructor has cultivated at least one school Martial Skill to Perfection."

"Therefore, having them guide you during the special training will be the most effective."

"As for what to pay attention to when entering the wilderness, Colonel Huang will explain it in detail."
