Upon hearing this, the scene fell silent for a moment.
Many people frowned slightly, but weren't too worried.
Chang Lei's gaze slowly swept over everyone, unsurprised by the situation.
Suddenly, his gaze paused slightly and landed on a boy.
"Report!"
"Speak!" Chang Lei said, his voice concise and forceful.
"Is it some kind of training? Why are there casualties?" the boy asked.
Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at Chang Lei.
"For the next three months, I will mainly lead you in three types of training: strength training, combat training, and practical combat training, which is to say, clearing the Light Gate." Chang Lei said in a deep voice with no expression on his face.
"So, the casualties are what you encounter when clearing the Light Gate?" the boy continued to ask.
"Yes, that's right," Chang Lei said in a deep voice.
Hearing this, many people breathed a sigh of relief.
If it's just about cleaning up Light Gate, then they do have some experience, though not a lot.
However, Chang Lei seemed to see through their thoughts and said:
"I know you participated in the mission to clear out the Light Gate when you were at Wuhan University, but those Light Gate were all just ordinary Light Gate."
"Even without teachers leading the team, there shouldn't be any casualties among the first batch of students to enter Wuhan University. But this time is different!"
" The Light Gate you'll be entering going forward is the Light Gate now handled specifically by the Supervision Bureau, not the Light Gate you were assigned before."
"Regardless of the number of Calamity Beast in these types of Light Gate, without exception, there is at least one Fourth Tier Calamity Beast, and Fourth Tier Calamity Beast..."
The sound gradually subsided, Chang Lei's gaze slowly swept over the crowd in front of him.
"For you now, if you are directly attacked, the only difference is whether you are slightly injured, seriously injured, or dead, depending on where you are hit!"
"This is only the best-case scenario, with only one Fourth Tier Calamity Beast."
"If it were of a slightly higher rank, or if there were many other Calamity Beast around, even if you all attacked together, you might not be able to win!"
Chang Lei paused here, looking at everyone with a serious expression.
"Of course, the ones we send you to won't be the ones you have absolutely no chance of winning!"
"At the very least, I will only take you there if I can determine that you can win even if you lose a certain number of people."
"This..." The boy's face darkened. After a moment's hesitation, he asked, "Won't you intervene?"
"Yes!" Chang Lei stared at him sternly, "But I will only intervene when your forces attacking the Calamity Beast Calamity Beast begin to crumble, and I am certain that you are no longer capable of killing it."
The scene suddenly fell silent.
A collapse? That would probably only happen after at least two or three of the people attacking the Calamity Beast die, right?
Of course, they knew that Chang Lei was exaggerating somewhat; after all, it was impossible for the other side to kill everyone!
But judging from the other party's tone and expression... they had reason to believe that even if five, six, seven, or eight people died, the other party could still accept it!
But if so many people die...
Everyone's face darkened.
To be honest, there's a significant difference in skill level among many of them, but...
The gap between the Third Tier and Fourth Tier is too great. In front of Fourth Tier Calamity Beast, apart from a few individuals, no one dares to say that they will definitely not be the one to die!
Suddenly, everyone started discussing it.
Although the volume was deliberately kept low, the scene was still somewhat noisy.
Shen Shuning frowned slightly, her gaze unconsciously drifting to her two friends beside her.
Su Xingyu's head was tilted to the side, her face showing some worry; Xiao Bai'er's expression was even more serious, his head slightly lowered, his brows tightly furrowed.
Shen Shuning pondered for a moment, then suddenly called out, " Bai'er!"
"Hmm?" Xiao Bai'er raised his eyes, but his expression was still somewhat gloomy.
"I want..." She paused, hesitated for a moment, and finally looked into Shen Shuning friend's eyes and said, "Why don't you quit?!"
"Huh? This..."
Xiao Bai'er opened her mouth subconsciously, but then didn't know what to say.
Actually, her performance was quite good by the standards of the entire Northern Martial Arts; otherwise, she wouldn't have made it onto the training camp roster.
The problem is, those who can stand on this side are all outstanding performers!
In other words, if someone does end up sacrificing themselves, there's a strong possibility that it will be her!
"Yes, Bai'er, why don't we withdraw together?" Su Xingyu nodded seriously from the side.
Shen Shuning looked at Su Xingyu with some helplessness, "The school won't agree to your withdrawal, will it?"
"Huh? This..."
Su Xingyu only remembered after being reminded, and her expression turned troubled again.
Unlike Shen Shuning and Xiao Bai'er, she was specifically requested to join this training program.
In this situation, even if she wanted to withdraw, she probably wouldn't be able to, just as Shen Shuning said.
Su Xingyu scratched her head in frustration, finally letting out a helpless sigh and complaining, "Seriously, S-Class abilities aren't all that great, are they? We have to be controlled about this too!"
"This is also a result of the country's nurturing of you," Shen Shuning said.
"Well, I guess so!" Su Xingyu muttered.
Shen Shuning didn't pay much attention to Su Xingyu. With her abilities, as long as she wasn't too careless, she shouldn't be unable to defeat or die when dealing with a Fourth Tier Calamity Beast. Now, the key issue was Bai'er Erna.
Turning her gaze to Xiao Bai'er, Shen Shuning said earnestly:
" Bai'er, you really should consider it!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Bai'er hesitated for a moment, then looked at Shen Shuning and asked, " Shuning, do you want to keep it?"
Their eyes met, and even though she knew what Xiao Bai'er meant, Shen Shuning hesitated for a moment before slowly nodding, "Yes, I'll stay!"
"Then I'll stay too!" Xiao Bai'er breathed a sigh of relief.
"If we stay, it could be very dangerous later!" Shen Shuning said.
"There's no such thing as absolute safety! Besides..." Xiao Bai'er looked at Shen Shuning and Su Xingyu, "If I were really in danger, you guys would help me, right?"
"Hehe, of course!" Su Xingyu said with a smile.
Shen Shuning did not reply; given her relationship with Xiao Bai'er, this question did not require a response.
She looked at Xiao Bai'er for a long while, then let out a soft sigh, "In that case, you need to be more serious from now on. You can't be like you were before!"
"Yes, I know!" Xiao Bai'er nodded seriously.
I'll keep an eye on you!
"Huh?" Xiao Bai'er uttered the word subconsciously, but after seeing Shen Shuning's serious gaze, she slowly nodded. "Okay, I understand!"
The others nearby were also discussing it.
Chang Lei stood there, watching their discussion.
After a while, as the sounds subsided, he slowly swept his gaze across the crowd and said:
"It's not too late for anyone who wants to leave!"
After he finished speaking, everyone stood silently in place.
Some people's expressions changed slightly, but seeing that the others were still standing there, they ultimately chose to stay as well.
Looking at the scene before him, Chang Lei's lips finally curled up slightly.
"Very good, at least you're not an easy target! Now, come with me!"
After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the building in the distance.
Everyone instinctively followed.
Shen Shuning followed behind.
"Report!" a boy shouted.
Shen Shuning looked over there, then turned her gaze to Chang Lei in front of her.
"Speak!" Chang Lei walked straight ahead.
"Didn't the school say the training camp would last for six months? Why did you just say three months? Has the training camp schedule been changed?" the boy asked.
Upon hearing this, many people looked at Chang Lei with similar confusion.
Chang Lei said, "Nothing has changed. I'm only responsible for training you for three months. After three months, I'll be returning to the Erosion Zone. Who will teach you then is headquarters' business, not mine."
