My System is Too Awesome!

"Eat bugs?"

The moment they heard Chief Instructor Reno's words, the entire training formation erupted into an uproar. Countless trainees went pale, their bodies turning weak.

Although Bai Ye had known the survival training would definitely be awful, hearing that it merely involved eating bugs did not make him feel much of anything.

Perhaps it was because he had watched too many wilderness survival shows in his previous life?

After all, he still remembered that famous saying from the internet in his previous life: Chop off the head and remove the tail, and it's all protein!

Bai Ye could not help rubbing his chin.

As long as they looked decent, and were grilled first, Bai Ye felt he could still accept them.

Afterward, Reno had the Holy Knights under his command distribute the captured bugs one by one, telling everyone to overcome their psychological barriers and eat them.

Although many trainees found it extremely difficult to accept, they ultimately swallowed the distributed bugs one after another, their faces green with nausea.

"Um... can I grill it before eating it?"

When the Holy Knight distributing bugs reached Bai Ye and handed him one, Bai Ye accepted it and could not help asking.

He was not incapable of accepting eating bugs raw, but he still had to consider the species.

Spirit Hall's true purpose in arranging this bug-eating training was likely to test their willpower. There should not have been any requirements regarding how they ate the bugs.

After all, if they had to eat bugs in the Misty Trail Grand Canyon, why eat them raw while fighting back the urge to vomit when they could spend some effort grilling them instead?

"Yes."

The Holy Knight distributing the bug to Bai Ye did not hesitate at all. He nodded directly in agreement.

When they heard that the bugs could be cooked before being eaten, many trainees who had swallowed theirs before Bai Ye immediately turned green. Their stomachs churned, and they nearly threw up.

So they did not have to eat them raw!

Why had they not asked earlier? Damn it!

Bleurgh~

And so, once they learned that the bugs did not have to be eaten raw and could also be grilled, the trainees afterward found them far easier to accept.

Very soon, everyone had completed the test.

Afterward, just as he had previously introduced the poisonous and usable plants, fruits, and fungi, Reno began introducing all the edible bugs in the Misty Trail Grand Canyon to everyone.

For the following days, everyone was made to identify the edible plants, fruits, fungi, and various bugs found in the Misty Trail Grand Canyon.

After three or four consecutive days of survival training,

because everyone had learned to identify the edible plants, fruits, fungi, and various bugs in the Misty Trail Grand Canyon, the survival training was essentially declared over.

On the final day, Chief Instructor Reno gathered everyone again in the morning and gave a speech on the main training ground.

At last, after wishing everyone satisfactory results in the Genius Selection Competition, Reno led the group out of the Holy Knight Training Camp.

Outside the Holy Knight Training Camp, hundreds of carriages had already been parked.

These carriages had come to transport trainees like Bai Ye and Qing Lin, who were participating in the Genius Selection Competition, to the Misty Trail Grand Canyon.

Because the Misty Trail Grand Canyon was still quite far from Spirit City, traveling there on foot would likely take half a day. As Spirit Hall was wealthy and had no shortage of money, it naturally used carriages to take everyone there.

Looking at the hundreds of carriages parked outside the Holy Knight Training Camp, Chief Instructor Reno shouted for everyone to choose whichever carriage they wished to ride.

Trainees who planned to form alliances after entering the Misty Trail Grand Canyon could choose to ride in the same carriage, making it easier to send them into the Misty Trail Grand Canyon together later.

Since Bai Ye and Qing Lin did not intend to find any more allies, they directly chose the nearest carriage, entered it together, and boarded.

The next dozen or so minutes were spent with the trainees finding companions, forming alliances, and filling out their teams.

On the Douluo Continent, the concept of Spirit Master teams was deeply ingrained in people's hearts.

Moreover, compared to fighting alone, a Spirit Master team with defense-system Spirit Masters, assault-system Spirit Masters, agility-attack-system Spirit Masters, control-system Spirit Masters, support-system Spirit Masters, and Food System Spirit Masters was indeed better equipped to handle all kinds of situations.

After more than ten minutes had passed,

as all the trainees successively boarded the carriages, the vast convoy departed from the Holy Knight Training Camp and set off toward the Misty Trail Grand Canyon.

More than two hours later, the carriage carrying Bai Ye and Qing Lin finally arrived at the Misty Trail Grand Canyon.

After getting off the carriage, Bai Ye looked at the mountains before him, each with a different shape and surrounded by white mist. Countless peaks towered upward, split through the middle by a long, narrow rift.

Bai Ye could not help smiling.

So this was the Misty Trail Grand Canyon?

"Come on, Qing Lin. Let's go in!"

After arriving before the Misty Trail Grand Canyon, Bai Ye immediately led Qing Lin as the two used the Phoenix Dance Six Illusions movement technique. They leaped into the air, darting continuously across the treetops as they headed deeper into the Misty Trail Grand Canyon.

After arriving at the Misty Trail Grand Canyon, Bai Ye's thinking was clear.

In his previous life, as a fan of wilderness survival shows, Bai Ye knew very well what was needed for survival in the wild: first, water; second, shelter; third, food!

It was already getting late. Bai Ye needed to quickly bring Qing Lin deep into the Misty Trail Grand Canyon and find a water source.

Although he had brought some water in his Space Ring, it was enough for drinking but not enough for bathing, washing food, and doing laundry.

After leading Qing Lin deeper into the Misty Trail Grand Canyon and searching for a while, Bai Ye finally found a flowing stream.

It had to be said that, thanks to the Phoenix Dance Six Illusions movement technique, Bai Ye and Qing Lin could move very conveniently through the dense forest of the Misty Trail Grand Canyon, making it especially easy to search for water.

Otherwise, for assault-system Spirit Masters, finding water in such a dense forest would not only require crossing mountains and ridges, but also forcing their way through all sorts of thorn bushes, shrubs, and vines. That would be extremely difficult!

Having found water, they also discovered quite a few fish, shrimp, and crabs in the stream.

Although these fish, shrimp, and crabs had grown in the stream and were all rather small, making it troublesome to gather enough to fill their stomachs,

both Bai Ye and Qing Lin knew the Heavenly Demon Force Field. With it, they quickly collected a large quantity of fish, shrimp, and crabs from the stream.

It had to be said that the fish, shrimp, and crabs in this stream had suffered a catastrophe!

After catching a large quantity of fish, shrimp, and crabs and having Qing Lin prepare the food, Bai Ye began working on their shelter.

However, Bai Ye did not need to gather branches and broad leaves everywhere to build a shelter.

That was because he possessed the Tree of Life as his second martial soul.

Although Bai Ye's Tree of Life martial soul had yet to obtain a spirit ring, he had discovered long ago that he could use it to control all kinds of plants!

Thus, in a patch of woodland filled with thorn bushes, shrubs, and vines—somewhere ordinary people could not enter and would find difficult to discover—

Bai Ye selected several of the oldest trees, whose trunks were so thick that even three people together could not wrap their arms around them, intending to use the Tree of Life martial soul to transform the insides of these trees into a treehouse.
