Yu
Chapter 387 Blazing Black Rock Mountain
She tied her ear-length short hair into a small braid, pulling it out from the opening at the back of her combat hat.
The Fab Four were indeed the first to arrive. Bald Hu hadn't followed the route Sun Xiaosheng had pointed out; both of them were locals, and neither was going to trick the other.
Even esteemed Teacher Hu Hu hadn't followed the navigation's route, arriving at the training point at lightning speed.
At this moment, the group was located on a mountain outside the capital city, within a military camp.
This Black Rock Mountain Other Dimension Space was obviously highly developed. Judging solely from the external facilities, this was the most complete training point Jiang Xiao had ever seen.
The so-called military camp wasn't just a simple collection of tents, but individual buildings rising from the ground, resembling a small military base.
Everyone changed into special light-colored combat uniforms, put on protective goggles, wore special thick-soled military boots, and carried marching packs containing water and some medicine, lined up neatly in front of a large building.
From the perspective of survival resources, the water reserves were sufficient as long as they were consumed sparingly. However, there was no food at all, which was one of the common complaints of every graduating class of the Capital Star Warriors.
Under normal circumstances, these kids could survive even if they were hungry for seven days, but with high-intensity training, the feeling of hunger was truly deadly. The key was that they needed to be ready to fight at any time, so replenishing energy was essential.
So... the students might need to eat the meat of Black Flame Ghosts and Black Flame Demons.
As for the meat of Large Fire Slimes and Small Fire Slimes... uh, they didn't have any meat. If you were really starving, a bite would only get you a mouthful of mud... and hot mud at that.
This was also one of the Capital Star Warriors' ways of intimidating newcomers, constantly reminding students that they weren't here for vacation, but for training.
Bald Hu had also changed into his gear. With the combat hat, his bright bald head was no longer so conspicuous.
Led by Bald Hu, the Fab Four headed towards the training point building.
The Black Rock Mountain training point obviously had a long-term cooperative relationship with the Capital Star Warriors. The soldiers' review process for teachers and students was relatively simple, and they were quickly allowed to pass.
Led by the soldiers, the group of five passed through layers of guards and finally arrived at a very spacious room. The room was surrounded by soldiers in full armor, and in the center was the layered space gate.
Bald Hu rolled up his sleeves, revealing an electronic watch on his wrist, and pressed the seven-day countdown.
This action made the students secretly happy. Although they arrived early, they would also leave early.
"Go!" Bald Hu waved his hand and took the lead in stepping into the space gate.
As a student preparing to be a captain, Jiang Xiao took the lead and walked to the front of the team.
Stepping into the space gate, a heat wave rushed towards him.
Damn it...
Although the Earth's climate was abnormal now, with temperatures of over 40 degrees Celsius not uncommon in some cities during the summer, the thought of surviving here for seven days, and fighting and training all the time, made Jiang Xiao feel a little tragic.
Air conditioning was indeed a great invention of mankind.
The first sensory impression was the heat wave, and the second was the huge sun in the sky.
Similar to the sun seen on Earth, this star was a bit larger. Here, there wasn't a cloud in the sky, and the sun was scorching. Combined with the black rocks all over the ground, standing for too long would probably burn your feet.
The environment was indeed peculiar, and the taste of this exposure was something that only those who experienced it knew.
The three little ones behind him also came in, feeling the intimidation from the Capital Star Warriors.
Jiang Xiao had already surveyed his surroundings. Behind his goggles, his eyes finally settled on the Red Star Flag flying high in the distance.
Yes, which training point open to the public didn't have the presence of Chinese soldiers?
Regardless of the internal conditions of the supply point's houses, or whether the conditions were really better, Jiang Xiao and the others were only training here for seven days, while these soldiers might be guarding this place for a lifetime.
They were nameless and faceless, all for the sake of paving the way for China's next generation, guarding the peace, and allowing the new generation to have a place to train and grow strong.
Generation after generation, constantly continuing, endlessly.
Perhaps in the future, the students of the Capital Star Warriors would also join such ranks, follow in the footsteps of their predecessors, and grow from so-called pride of heavens into true pillars of the nation.
The Guardian Legion was here. Although the Night Watch Legion was secretive and nowhere to be seen, Jiang Xiao knew that they were also guarding this place. The flying Red Star Flag would also stand here forever.
Jiang Xiao looked up at the Red Star Flag flying high, and couldn't help but feel a sense of pride. He was a Night Watch apprentice, and when he completed his training, these soldiers would be his comrades.
Bald Hu's voice came over: "First task: reach Supply Point 1 and assemble in formation at the entrance."
The Fab Four didn't hesitate; Supply Point 1 wasn't far away.
Although the area around the supply point was relatively safe and the journey was short, Jiang Xiao still began his career as a commander: "1-2-1 formation, I'll be in front, Cai Yao in the rear, and Le Yue and Xiao Sheng in the middle."
The students were obviously stunned for a moment. This order, compared to actual combat, was more about the ownership of the team's command.
Bald Hu watched all this with interest. In previous years, it wasn't uncommon for fellow disciples of the same profession to fight for command on missions.
But this Fab Four was unusually harmonious. No one said anything, but instead, they quickly lined up and moved forward.
The question of who was in charge would either appear on the day the team was formed or erupt during the first battle in Black Rock Mountain. Some teams would even fall apart and never figure it out.
As expected, this team was very harmonious.
Fame... must come early.
If Jiang Xiao didn't have a series of auras, he would at least have to prove himself in battle, speak with his strength. But now, because of the National League, he didn't need to prove anything.
In fact, when the team first met and introduced themselves yesterday, Cai Yao, one of the top four in the country, made her attitude very clear. What she said was: "I will assist Lord Poisonous Milk well."
Le Yue was even more humble, saying that he would assist everyone well. Sun Xiaosheng also called him "Pika God" one after another, so this situation was normal.
What was truly difficult was the Battle Academy - Agility Battle Department, because of the fighting styles and personalities, many teams would have various problems.
The group arrived in front of Supply Point 1, looking at the several houses in front of them, as well as the soldiers standing on the sentry towers and around the supply point, and secretly clicked their tongues.
Bald Hu said: "Stand at attention facing the sun, according to their standards, for one hour."
The Fab Four's faces turned bitter, and their hearts were even more bitter. All the soldiers on duty were drenched in sweat.
After explaining the task, Bald Hu turned and entered the house, not even looking at the students, seemingly relying entirely on their self-awareness.
Well, since they were here, the group had no reason to fail the first subject.
Jiang Xiao stepped to a spot not far from a soldier, covered his blade with Star Power, and plunged it into the black rock.
Speaking of which, it was an honor to stand with this soldier for a while, even if it was just for an hour.
Inside the training point house, Bald Hu handed the Capital Star Warriors' certificate to the soldiers for inspection, and then came to the window, looking outside.
The look in his eyes towards Jiang Xiao was increasingly surprised and appreciative.
This kid was the first to act and the first to stand next to the soldier. Completely different from the playful state he was in when they gathered yesterday, he didn't complain, didn't try to get attention, and didn't act like a rebellious troublemaker.
Teacher Hu Hu seemed to see a truly star warrior for the first time.
I'm a student of China's highest institution, I should get better resources and receive higher quality training, why should I stand at attention with these ordinary soldiers?
This statement was laughable, but in the hearts of these proud students, there wouldn't be few people with such thoughts.
Not everyone could put down their past achievements, although those achievements might not be worth mentioning to the teachers of the Capital Star Warriors, but for a young person, it was a so-called capital.
"Not bad as a captain, these seven days will be easier." Bald Hu muttered, leisurely taking off his hat, revealing his bright bald head, and sitting comfortably on the chair.
One after another, teams of shield warriors who had gotten on the bus first arrived at Black Rock Mountain.
When they arrived, these four support-type students were already sweating profusely, like the soldiers, and their special combat uniforms were even soaked in sweat.
The shield warriors obviously received the same task and stepped over.
Suddenly, a huge figure stood in front of Jiang Xiao, with his back to Jiang Xiao, standing at attention.
The huge figure stood silently, but the person's shadow enveloped Jiang Xiao's figure, shielding Jiang Xiao from the scorching sun.
The same combat uniform, from head to toe, was no different from all the other students, and he only gave Jiang Xiao his back, but Jiang Xiao knew who he was.
Gu Shi'an.
