Deng Qing's "Devour Heaven Scripture" has arrived at Minor Mastery. It is really easy to deal with the Wasteland Qi here. Deployment Office has saved up all the Blazing Sun Pill distributed every day, and so far he has not used any of them.

Soon, the layer of white frost spread to his feet.

A stream of heat poured in from the soles of the feet. Deng Qing silently performed "Devour Heaven Scripture", and the heat stream that invaded the body was immediately guided out of the body.

Wasteland Qi keeps pouring in, and he keeps moving out.

Deng Qing As I was walking, I suddenly remembered a classic math problem I had done in my previous life.

A pool has its water inlet and outlet open at the same time. How long will it take to fill the pool?

His current body seems to have this meaning.

However, his water outlet can now be adjusted to be large enough.

Naturally, his pool cannot be filled to its full capacity.

Deng Qing After walking out of Xiaoyili, a figure appeared under a big rock in front of us.

It was a young man wearing White Robe, with a red ribbon wrapped around his arm, squatting at a stone root and digging.

When Deng Qing came over, the young man only raised his eyes to look at him, then lowered his head and continued working.

Deng Qing didn't bother either.

He straightened the Image Recording Needle on his chest, then walked around the boulder and continued walking forward.

Yes, his current identity is Junior Test Coordinator.

The person just now is Martial Exam Student who participated in the first phase of the retest Desolate Soil.

The so-called coordinator, in Deng Qing's view, is roughly a security guard without Exam Proctor authority.

His current errand is to maintain the security of the two-mile radius, pay attention to the surrounding movements, prevent Wasteland Beast from intruding, and protect the candidates to successfully complete the exam.

As for what the candidates are taking the test and whether they are doing it correctly, he has no control over it and does not have to care about it.

Deng Qing doesn't know what the young man was doing squatting under the rock just now.

However, when he was eating in the cafeteria, he vaguely heard people talking about it.

In this re-examination, the test is not only about fighting and killing, but also about the study and research of Desolate Soil knowledge.

Deng Qing is very curious about this knowledge, but he does not have access to it for the time being. What he cares about now is how many Qi Beast can be killed every day.

After all, this is his core KPI and an important basis for upgrading to Intermediate Test Coordinator.

Deng Qing held the sword and slowly patrolled along the territory he was responsible for, his eyes occasionally scanning the giant trees in the distance and various stones scattered nearby.

Soon, he saw another candidate whose stature was somewhat similar to Li Cheng. When he looked closely, he saw that he was not.

It has been ten days since Desolate Soil, but Deng Qing has still not seen Li Cheng.

Although there are quite a few Martial Exam Student here, Deng Qing searched carefully and even found two or three nasty ones, but there was no sign of Li Cheng.

Deng Qing guessed that Li Cheng has left.

As for whether it was a temporary incident or whether he had a grudge against him due to the death of Zhang Quan, he had no way of knowing.

Thinking of all the past events, Deng Qing felt a little emotional.

He didn't know if this friendship had come to an end.

However, he has a clear conscience.

Deng Qing took off the kettle from his waist and took a sip. The water in the kettle was sweet and refreshing. He felt that if the water was taken out for filling, he could even sell it directly for money.

He smacked his lips and was about to take out the cooking cake he had brought with him in the morning and take a few bites when suddenly a harsh cry came from the sky.

Deng Qing Follow the sound and see a fiery red bird flying towards this direction.

The bird was no more than the size of a fist, and its feathers were bright red, making it particularly eye-catching in the dim light.

It flew in a circle around Deng Qing's head, its cry became more and more urgent, and then it flapped its wings and flew south quickly.

Deng Qing's meal was interrupted, so he raised his sword and chased after him.

The little bird is named Flamebird. It is extremely fast and is responsible for patrolling the movements of Qi Beast within a ten-mile radius.

When it comes, it means Qi Beast is coming.

Deng Qing was overjoyed and stepped quickly, following the direction of Flamebird.

Speaking of which, among Desolate Soil, not all beasts can become Wasteland Beast.

There are still a lot of Qi Beast here.

The huge fish in the lake before were just ordinary Qi Beast.

It looks scary, so it's just scary.

The powerful guy in Qi Beast usually has Qi Petal on his forehead, which is easy to identify.

Killing these Qi Beast with Qi Petal is the most important source of Merit Points for Deng Qing at the moment.

Flamebird hovered slightly in front, suddenly rose up, and let out another scream.

Deng Qing Reduce the speed and a forest appears in front of you.

The roots of several giant trees are knotted together, and dark gaps are exposed between the roots.

Suddenly, a gray figure emerged from it, but it was a Unicorn Wolf.

This thing was several times larger than an ordinary wolf, with bulging shoulders and back, thick and long limbs, and hair like steel needles poking all over its body.

There is a single horn on the top of its head, and a light cyan Qi Petal is embedded between its eyebrows. It is shaped like a petal of a sunflower.

Unicorn Wolf lowered his head, staring directly at Deng Qing with a pair of soy sauce-colored eyes. The corners of his mouth were raised, revealing two rows of sharp teeth that could be used as daggers.

As it roared, white smoke spewed out from between its mouth and nose.

Deng Qing wiped the blade of the sword with his left thumb, which was stained with blood, and pressed it to Image Recording Needle's chest.

Then, his body swayed and he rushed towards Unicorn Wolf. His sword edge flew forward and struck Qi Petal between Unicorn Wolf's eyebrows.

And where Qi Petal is, is where the cover door is.

Unicorn Wolf screamed sharply and opened his mouth suddenly.

Phew!

A cloud of ice spurted out and hit Deng Qing directly at the sword's edge.

The frost rolled up and then spurted out from the wolf's mouth, turning into a wind knife and frost sword, slashing towards Deng Qing.

However, the sword thrust by Deng Qing was a false move.

While holding the sword in his hand, he always left room at his feet.

The moment Unicorn Wolf opened his mouth, Deng Qing twisted his waist and changed steps, and jumped out diagonally.

A frost sword just brushed Deng Qing's shoulder, knocking off a large piece of stone on a huge boulder, and Deng Qing had already circled to the side of Unicorn Wolf.

Stab out with a sword and go straight to Qi Petal.

Unicorn Wolf was so fast that he waved his claws to block it. In the next moment, he used the momentum to rush closer and pressed Deng Qing's chest with another claw.

Deng Qing blocked it with his horizontal sword, and Unicorn Wolf knocked Desolate Iron Sword away with his other claw.

As everyone knows, Deng Qing has been waiting for this moment.

When the wolf's claws hit the chest hard, a flash of red light suddenly lit up, and the sharp claws were actually impenetrable.

Blood Baleful Intent had taken away most of the force of the blow, but Deng Qing was still hit with a tightness in his chest.

Unicorn Wolf had a flash of doubt in his eyes, and his horn shone slightly, apparently to complete the forward swing and launch a frost attack.

However, Deng Qing, who was ready to go, used Phoenix Swaps the Nest's move, and unexpectedly managed to deflect the giant claw Unicorn Wolf blocked in front of him.

The next moment, a punch was thrust out, and the punch hit the light cyan Qi Petal!

Unicorn Wolf's head suddenly froze, and the next moment, a loud bang came from its forehead.

The huge wolf body was shattered in an instant, and the fur and flesh that had not yet been scattered began to melt into a large puff of mist.

The wolf claws on Deng Qing's chest also dispersed.

Bang, the light cyan piece of Qi Petal fell to the ground and bounced slightly.

Deng Qing rubbed his stuffy chest, took a breath, and picked up the sword that had fallen beside him. Then he leaned over to pick up Qi Petal and collected it as Waist Pouch.

Deng Qing did not delay, put away Qi Petal, picked up the sword, and quickly returned to the area he was responsible for.

Next, he began to patrol his defensive zone.

Unfortunately, until the application time, I never encountered Flamebird's message again.

Suddenly, a sharp whistle sounded.

Deng Qing breathed a long sigh of relief, climbed onto a nearby high rock, and looked at the several candidates in his area.

Those people stopped what they were doing one after another, some were happy and some were sad.

Deng Qing waited for a while, and when they all returned, he jumped off the big rock and walked straight north.

After traveling for more than ten miles, a hillside appeared in front of us.

There are a large number of wooden sheds set up on the hillside, high and low, spread out along the slope.

Outside each shed, there are wooden signs hanging with the words "Merit Reward Office", "Canteen", "Medical Shed" and other words.

During this period, there were many people coming and going, including candidates, facilitators, and office workers in a hurry holding Booklet.

This group of shantytown buildings is where Prefecture Examination Deployment Office Yanshan District lives.

There are two more stations like this, located in adjacent areas, housing people from the other two prefectures.

And pushing forward seventy or eighty miles, there is Front Line, the army of Command Center fighting against Donghuang Cult.

Therefore, this place is both Front Line and the rear.

Command Center's soldiers and horses set up a line of defense in front, and behind this line of defense, the candidates were taking an exam that was not difficult.

Deng Qing went up the solid ramp and went to Merit Reward Office first.

He took out the Qi Petal he got today, untied the Image Recording Needle from his chest, and handed it over together.

The clerk behind the case took it, first verified Qi Petal, then took away Image Recording Needle, and recorded today's achievements for him in the book.

After that, Deng Qing turned around and went to the canteen.

There were already many people sitting in the cafeteria, either eating or chatting, and it was very lively.

Deng Qing waited in line for a while and then received his meal.

A large wooden tray has several coarse porcelain bowls and a wooden basin placed on it.

There was a large bowl of multi-grain rice, piled to the top; a large pot of boiled vegetables with a lot of meat; and a bowl of hot soup with a lot of fat in it.

What Deng Qing cherishes the most is the few red cubes of meat placed in a small bowl in the corner of the tray, which add up to only three taels.

The name of this item is Fortune Meat, which is actually the meat of Wasteland Beast. It contains extremely high energy, which is far beyond the comparison of ordinary meat.

It's a pity that he can only get so much in the evening.

Deng Qing held the tray, found an empty seat and sat down, then picked up a piece of Fortune Meat and put it into his mouth.

When chewing, the meat is firm and tastes great. After swallowing, it doesn't take long for a feeling of warmth to fill your stomach.

While he was eating, there was suddenly a noise outside.

"The results are released!"

"Today's list is out!"

After a few greetings spread, the canteen next door Martial Exam Student immediately erupted into a shocking commotion.

In the blink of an eye, a large group of White Robe figures rushed past on the ground in front of the bulletin board outside the canteen.

Deng Qing looked up and continued eating his own.

He has long been accustomed to this scene.

Deployment Office will announce the day's results every day and list the students' total results.

Those who do well in the exam want to move their rankings forward, fearing that people behind them will catch up; those who do poorly in the exam see others moving further and further away, so they can only grit their teeth and catch up.

Deployment Office's arrangement is naturally to inspire these candidates to continue working hard.

However, this excitement has nothing to do with Deng Qing for the time being. He ate the rice with great gusto.

Suddenly, a young man with a big nose in a green robe came over and sat down opposite him.

Deng Qing looked at the person, "Brother Chen, what's the matter?"

He recognized this person, his name was Chen Tai.

His abilities are not great, but he is extremely active. He has a wide circle of friends and is a well-known person among the coordinators.

Chen Tai whispered, "Brother Deng, I have to advise you. Don't be too aggressive and leave some way for others to survive. I think your results are enough to stand out."

For the next two days, just stay on your own terms.

This is not just what I mean, but also what several big shots mean, what do you think?"

Deng Qing put down Chopsticks and said, "The results of the coordinator have not been announced. I don't even know what my work performance is. Where did Brother Chen start talking about this?"

Chen Tai said, "Just because you don't know, it doesn't mean that I don't know. I am also entrusted by others. Your current results are really amazing. You are already ranked in the top three. Tell me, are you too eye-catching? Are you not giving everyone a way to survive?"

The day after tomorrow, the first wave of Retest will end. Nearly half of the Martial Exam Student will be eliminated, and the number of coordinators will naturally decrease.

With your current results, even if you no longer hunt Qi Beast in the next two days, your status as a mid-level coordinator will still be stable. In this case, why do you need to be in the limelight again?"

The cafeteria was still noisy, but Deng Qing sat quietly, thinking a thousand times.

Chen Tai continued, "I also saw that you are an honest person, so I came here to remind you.

You must know that some limelight only belongs to certain people.

Can you understand what I said?"

Deng Qing suddenly realized it, raised his hands and said, "Brother Chen's words are really like an enlightenment, and it's like being splashed with ice water on a hot day in the dog days. I suddenly wake up. Brother Chen, just rest assured."

Chen Tai nodded with satisfaction and said, "Brother Deng is on the road and your future is worry-free."

After that, he picked up the tray and left.

After Chen Tai left, Deng Qing packed up the dishes, left the canteen, and went straight to Back Mountain.

There is a remote place Mountain Hollow behind the mountain. Several large rocks block the way. Walking in, you will find an open space.

There were no sheds nearby and few people came, so he used it to practice his martial arts.

On the open space, there are stones of different sizes arranged in a row. According to the weight, they range from more than 300 kilograms to more than 1,500 kilograms.

The more than 300 kilograms of stones were the training tools used by Deng Qing when he first entered this place. The weight of the stones he can now hold has increased to 500 kilograms.

After stepping into the venue, he selected the five-hundred-jin boulder he used yesterday, clasped both sides of the stone with both hands, raised his arms, and turned his waist to bring the boulder from in front of him to the right.

Only then did he stand firm on his feet, his hands had already changed their positions, and he once again turned his waist to lift the boulder to the other side.

A change of move Phoenix Swaps the Nest was used.

I saw this five-hundred-jin stone moving back and forth in his hands without appearing cumbersome.

Even so, it is still a heavy weight for Deng Qing.

After practicing for a while, he felt soreness and swelling between his shoulders, back and waist.

Deng Qing not only did not stop, but also changed his moves. One of his arms penetrated under the stone, and the other arm closed from the outside.

As soon as his shoulders reached him, his legs exerted their strength, and he lifted up the entire stone.

Exactly the move Carrying the Elephant Across the River.

Deng Qing hugged the big stone and walked forward for a few steps, then changed steps and turned back. Suddenly his legs sank and his waist straightened, like a fully drawn bow.

Elephant Hurls, Mountain Crumbles!

The boulders flew out with a roar, and crashed down five feet away, creating a deep crater and breaking several giant trees.

Deng Qing exhaled, walked over quickly, lifted the big stone again, and started practicing again.

After practicing hard, Deng Qing's forehead was covered with sweat.

He stood there, slowly calmed down, and then called up the panel.

[Realm: Bone-Tempering Two(5%)]

[Devour Heaven Scripture: Initial Understanding: Minor Mastery(35%)]

[Elephant-Throwing Method: Minor Mastery(27%)]

[Mystic Wasteland Baleful Blood: Initial Baleful Intent(35%)]

Deng Qing read it item by item and nodded with satisfaction, feeling that these ten days of hard work were not in vain.

Compared with before, several items have improved, especially "Elephant-Throwing Method", which has reached 27%.

The reason why Mystic Wasteland Baleful Blood does not increase is that it cannot grow through cultivation, but can only grow by devouring Wasteland Blood.

After looking at the panel, Deng Qing looked at the sky and rushed to the dining hall.

When he rushed to the dining hall, there was no one there.

There were piles of uncollected dishes on several long tables, and the floor was wet. A few helpers were moving stools and wiping the tabletops, while Chef Fei was standing at the door of the kitchen, rolling up his sleeves and pouring hot water into the wooden basin.

Chef Fei was born stocky, with a round face and a lot of gray hair on his temples.

The apron around her waist was washed white and tied around her bulging belly, but she worked very quickly.

Seeing Deng Qing come in, Chef Fei hurriedly greeted him, "Brother Xiao Deng, are you here again? You have worked hard during the day, and you come here after work. I trouble you every day. I really feel sorry for you."

"It should."

Deng Qing responded with a smile, rolled up his sleeves, picked up a pile of bowls on the table, and helped to get busy.

He has been helping with this kind of work for many days.

It's not that he is naturally diligent and has to find something to do for himself.

But he had already found out clearly that this Chef Fei was transferred from Martial Dao Lower Court, and he had been working at Martial Dao Lower Court for more than 20 years.

Even though he is a cook, he has this qualification and is quite valuable.

At least, this Chef Fei is a good source of information.

Moreover, Deng Qing is thinking more long-term. He feels that he will have to go to Martial Dao Lower Court sooner or later. Laying the groundwork in advance may be useful in the future.

As for the contribution, it is nothing more than a little busyness and a few ridicules from boring people.

But this is nothing to Deng Qing.

Of course, when Deng Qing first came into contact with Chef Fei, he talked about his past at the Celebration Hall.

He focused on the part about helping the cook in the kitchen. The purpose of what he said was to dispel Chef Fei's concerns.

Otherwise, how could it be possible for a coordinator to come to the kitchen to do chores without arousing suspicion?

Chef Fei naturally does not believe what Deng Qing says. When asked about the details of the kitchen work, Deng Qing actually knows a lot about it.

In addition, he worked quickly and never made any demands. Gradually, he became familiar with Chef Fei.

As time passed, Chef Fei felt a little embarrassed.

After finishing working in the kitchen, Deng Qing went back to his room, a cramped space sandwiched between wooden boards, and slept until dawn.

The next day, in the evening.

After working for a day, Deng Qing was sitting in the canteen eating.

Just as he picked up a piece of Fortune Meat, the bench opposite was violently pulled away, making a harsh sound.

Chen Tai stood in front of the table menacingly, staring straight at him, "Deng Qing, what do you mean?"

Deng Qing swallowed the meat in his mouth, raised his head and said, "What's wrong?"

"What's wrong?"

Chen Tai snorted coldly and said in a low voice, "Didn't you promise me not to hunt Qi Beast today? As a result, you actually hunted two more Qi Beast!"

As he spoke, he leaned forward, deliberately creating a sense of oppression, "Are you really going to be an enemy of everyone?

Don't forget, there are many young men from famous families and rising stars in our sect in our team. They just want to get a good resume here, but you want to snatch away all the honors. What good will it do to you?"
