58. Training Camp Guide
The following day at noon, Ling Bingtian, having eaten his last lunch at home before heading to camp, prepared to set off.
Even Lingjun didn't say much before going, clearly knowing that his son had no choice but to go.
Fortunately, the training camp offers a break every few months, and Lingjun believes that with her son's excellent abilities, he will definitely be able to secure a break, so she is not too sad.
But I still can't escape giving them a few words of advice.
After listening to the instructions and packing his things, Ling Bingtian bid farewell to his parents and met up with Wang Dayu and Yuan Chao at the Ling family's gate, then ran straight towards the north gate.
The training camp was not located within the Ling family compound, but rather in a place located north of Extreme Ice City, yet still some distance from the far north.
According to Ling An, once they exited the north gate and were far from the crowd, people from the training camp would naturally come to guide them.
The journey was filled with the bickering between Wang Dayu and Yuan Chao. With their bodies honed through years of training, the three of them arrived at the North City Market in no time.
Once away from the noisy crowd, Wang Dayu and Yuan Chao's bickering subsided considerably; they were still somewhat apprehensive about the youth training camp.
This is a message from the elders in the family.
Whenever the training camp is mentioned, the elders who came from it will look nostalgic, then give a meaningful smile and stop answering.
The few responses that did come up were mostly just for kids, like talking about fighting a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast—isn't that nonsense?
Ling Bingcai suddenly stopped when he could no longer hear the noise of the crowd behind him.
As soon as he stopped, Wang Dayu and Yuan Chao also stopped and looked around warily.
Ling Bingtian wouldn't stop for no reason; if he did stop, there must be a reason.
However, the surrounding area was calm and undisturbed.
Just as Wang Dayu and Yuan Chao were about to cast their questioning glances at Ling Bingtian, three silver needles suddenly shot out from a tree, each aimed at one of the three.
With the enhanced eyesight granted by his Ice Crystal Phoenix Martial Soul, Ling Bingtian easily spotted the dark, ghostly light reflected on the tip of the silver needle.
Night ghost?
Ling Bingtian's mind raced. Night Phantom was a powerful sleeping pill; users would only wake up when exposed to moonlight at night.
Even if they are our own people, we should never treat them this way.
Ling Bingtian snorted coldly, mobilized the ice-attribute soul power within his body, and raised his hand to shoot out three ice blades, which collided head-on with the flying needles.
"Clang—" A crisp metallic clang rang out as Ling Bingtian's ice blade struck down the silver needles flying toward the three of them.
At this moment, Wang Dayu and Yuan Chao, who were watching Ling Bingtian shoot out ice blades, realized that someone had launched an attack on them.
"Drink—" Wang Dayu and Yuan Chao shouted at the same time, releasing their martial spirits.
The one that changed the most was Wang Dayu. Fine, ice-blue scales grew from his skin, and he gradually grew 2 to 30 centimeters taller. His face became slightly elongated, and a thick tail swam behind him.
A golden, yellowish-brown soul ring floated behind Wang Dayu, proving his identity as a soul master.
Most astonishingly, Wang Dayu's open mouth revealed teeth that resembled saw teeth.
Ice Sea Sawtooth Crocodile Martial Soul, Possession!
Compared to the drastically changed Wang Dayu, Yuan Chao hardly changed at all, except that he had some more fur on his body, his face looked more like an ape, and his fingernails had grown slightly longer.
This is Yuan Chao's martial soul, which is weaker than Huo Gua's original Spirit Eye martial soul, the Wind Baboon, and its innate soul power is only a pitiful half level.
Even now, with Ling Bingtian's help and martial arts assistance, Yuan Chao has only barely reached level 6, and is still a long way from obtaining his first soul ring.
"what?"
A surprised exclamation came from the direction from which the silver needles had flown, and then a figure jumped down from the tree.
The three of them looked closely and saw the "full view" of the figure.
The newcomer was completely covered by a snow-white hooded coat and a snow-white mask. From the three people's perspective, they could only see the person's bright eyes.
"Who are you?" Ling Bingtian asked first, having already guessed the identity of the newcomer.
Although he did not release his martial spirit, Ling Bingtian was always on guard, and he would not hesitate to take action if the person made any unusual moves.
Wang Dayu and Yuan Chao also looked nervously at the newcomer. Apart from each other, they had almost never fought anyone before.
Fortunately, the newcomer quickly dispelled their wariness with his actions.
After uttering a surprised sigh, the man in the white hood suddenly knelt down on one knee, took out a token from his waist, held it with one hand, pointed it at the three people, removed his mask, and shouted loudly, "Bai Ying, subordinate of the training camp, greets the young master."
Hearing Bai Ying's words and seeing the Ling family's exclusive token in her hand, Ling Bingtian believed her almost entirely.
only……
"Why did you attack us?" Ling Bingtian asked, puzzled. If you're going to lead the way, just lead the way properly. Why throw needles at us?
"Uh, I'm sorry, young master. This is the first test that everyone who goes to the training camp has to undergo," Bai Ying said somewhat awkwardly.
Although it was a mission, the fact that she had attacked the eldest son of the Ling family still made her somewhat apprehensive.
"I wonder if the young master is petty?" Bai Ying wondered to herself, feeling a little worried.
Ling Bingtian was not the petty person she thought he was.
After Bai Ying revealed the reason for her attack, Ling Bingtian forgave her.
As Wang Dayu and Yuan Chao breathed a sigh of relief, they began to observe the girl in front of them, who looked a little older than them after taking off her hood.
Bai Ying, true to her name, has skin as white as snow, delicate features adorning her fair face, and loose hair cascading over her shoulders. What is most impressive about her are her pair of bright, expressive eyes.
Most remarkably, her eyes were an unusual emerald green.
The two young men had never seen such a beautiful young lady before.
Even the prettiest girl in the class is far inferior to Bai Ying in front of me.
Of all the girls they've met in the past few years, only Ma Xiaotao has been able to consistently outshine Bai Ying, thanks to her fully matured appearance.
For a moment, the two of them were even a little infatuated.
Bai Ying glanced at them indifferently, sensing their strange gazes; she had seen this kind of look many times in the school over the past few years.
Over time, she grew to like hoodies and masks. These two items effectively concealed her appearance and prevented her from getting into trouble.
If Bai Ying hadn't thought it would be impolite to bow to Ling Bingtian while wearing them, she would never have taken them off.
Upon seeing this, Bai Ying noticed that the soul power fluctuations of the two were much weaker than hers, and a sense of disdain immediately arose in her heart.
"Does someone like this deserve to be by the young master's side? What is the master thinking?" Bai Ying was completely baffled.
Seeing his two underlings' embarrassing performance, Ling Bingtian covered his face in embarrassment and then gave each of them a loud slap on the forehead.
"Ouch." *2
The two felt a sharp pain on their foreheads and couldn't help but cry out. But they also realized how embarrassing they looked, and stood behind Ling Bingtian, clutching their foreheads and looking aggrieved, without saying a word.
"You flatter me, Senior Bai. Now that I've knocked the silver needles away, I suppose I've passed the first test."
Seeing that Wang Dayu and the other person had returned to normal, Ling Bingtian then asked Bai Ying a question.
Judging from Bai Ying's age, she couldn't possibly be an instructor in the training camp. Therefore, she could only be one of their senior classmates.
"Yes, young master, you have passed the test. As for these two," Bai Ying said, glancing at Wang Dayu and the other man, "thanks to your help, they have also passed."
Upon hearing this, the two, who were already somewhat embarrassed, blushed even more. They had said they were going to protect their young master, yet they couldn't even detect the enemy's attack. They were still far from being good enough.
However, neither of them were the type to give up easily. After realizing that their own level was still far from sufficient, their desire to become stronger only grew stronger.
Ling Bingtian didn't care about Bai Ying's disdainful attitude towards the two behind him. Although it's sometimes necessary to build their confidence, occasional setbacks are also necessary.
He replied to Bai Ying indifferently, "In that case, I'll trouble you to lead the way."
"Yes," Bai Ying replied respectfully, then turned and ran towards the east.
Ling Bingtian said no more, glanced at the two behind him with a speechless and slightly disgusted look, left a message saying "Don't fall behind", and ran after Bai Ying in the direction she left.
Their faces, which had almost fully recovered, flushed red again, provoked by the incident.
Watching Ling Bingtian's departing figure, the two dared not do anything more and hurriedly chased after him.
