Chapter 5 Xuefeng Mountain Inn
"Have you heard? This quarter's training is over, and we're going to do some wilderness training."
"Wilderness training? What's that?"
"It's about going out into the wild to gain experience!"
"No, no, it's too dangerous! I've heard adults say since I was little that there are demons outside, the kind that eat people!"
"We have no choice but to go; it's crucial for our entrance exams to magic university, and this training score carries significant weight!"
……
Just as this quarter was about to end, the school also released a message: outdoor training!
Every year, the students in the top class go to Xuefeng Mountain at this time to undergo a training exercise.
By the time of the annual assessment, each student in the top class had mastered 7 stars. Now, almost half a year has passed, and everyone is already familiar with the basic skills of their magic system.
Only students who have mastered basic skills will be sent by the school to undergo training. Ordinary people, when faced with demons, can only lie down obediently and wonder how the demons will drag them out.
Time passed day by day, and finally the day arrived for the top students to undergo their training.
The 100 people were divided into 5 groups of 20 each, with teachers accompanying them and two instructors leading each group.
One is named Luo Yunbo, and the other is named Pan Lijun.
Five buses carrying students from the top-performing class set off for Xuefeng Mountain.
Just as the teacher and instructors were explaining some precautions, Lu Jie noticed that his plant-based system seemed to be absorbing some kind of energy.
He slowly closed his eyes when no one was paying attention, and within his perception range, there seemed to be some kind of unknown energy.
It's like the power of all things in nature.
Could it be the power of nature?
Lu Jie opened his eyes, a look of joy on his face. It seemed that the Immortal Mode should be put on the agenda.
However, we'll see if we can unlock the Wood Release technique through subsequent check-ins. If we can, then we can set up Wood Clones.
The clone goes to school while the main body cultivates at home—it's absolutely perfect!
The bus passed through a large area of wasteland outside the city, and soon a series of mountains and forests came into view.
The mountains and forests are lush and deep, with dense foliage and overgrown weeds nearby, and distant peaks scattered amidst thick clouds.
Soon, the bus arrived at the Xuefeng Mountain Station, and a group of students couldn't wait to get off the bus and enjoy the beauty of nature!
For these students who have hardly ever left the city, nature is indeed wonderful!
[Ding! Host has checked in. Congratulations, host, you have obtained the Golden Light Mantra!]
???
Lu Jie was stunned. Had the system finally figured things out today?
Although it's not a Wood Release technique, the Golden Light Mantra is still quite good, especially as it's one of the eight great divine mantras of Taoism, so its value goes without saying.
Moreover, in the world of One Person and One World, this Golden Light Mantra shines brightly!
Of course, it's hard to say whether these two can be confused, but at least we've finally gotten a cultivation technique.
The golden light in Under One Person is a dignified light of life. In reality, it is about improving one's life cultivation by entering a "righteous" state. The golden light is just a product of some rituals and incantations.
The key to cultivating and using the Golden Light Mantra is to enter a more perfect state of "righteousness". Through long-term cultivation, one's spiritual cultivation will be improved, and the golden light will naturally show an increasing tendency to materialize as one's spiritual cultivation improves. The higher the degree of materialization, the stronger the operability of the Golden Light Mantra.
Not only can it coat its entire body with golden light, forming an indestructible defense, but it can also transform into various forms at will.
If I were to awaken a light-elemental ability at the intermediate level, and combine it with the Golden Light Mantra, I would have all the means of defense, control, and attack.
Add to that healing, endurance, and constitution, and you've got a true all-around magic warrior.
Hiahiahia! (ω)
Just as Lu Jie was silently reciting the Golden Light Mantra, another minor conflict broke out between Mo Fan and Mu Bai.
To be precise, it was Zhang Xiaohou and Zhao Kunsan who got into an argument.
On the other side, Zhan Kong, with his stubble, played with a small flame, which danced on his fingertips but did not go out.
Looking at the group of students below, Zhan Kong revealed a strange smile.
"Boss Zhan Kong, what brings you here?" Luo Yunbo noticed the newcomer and looked up to greet him.
"Just looking at high school girls when I have nothing else to do," Zhan Kong said with a chuckle.
"Zhan Kong? Could it be that fire mage who slaughtered the most demons at the Snow Peak Mountain post station?" Zhang Jianguo looked up and exclaimed, "I've heard so much about you!"
"They're just a few demons, what's so great about them!" Wang Sanpang muttered to himself.
"Indeed, it's nothing special. I initially refused when Deng Kai asked you to come here for training," Zhan Kong said calmly.
He extinguished the flames and took a rolled-up piece of paper from his overcoat pocket.
"Enough with the small talk. Your training this time is simple: complete the bounty I've put on you," Zhan Kong said.
"What? A bounty? You must be kidding me!"
"Seriously? You want a bunch of students to complete this bounty?!"
"Bounties are usually completed by a small hunting team. Can we handle it?"
"What, your 100 people are no match for a hunter squad?" Zhan Kong asked calmly upon hearing this.
"I'm a kind person. If any of you complete this bounty, then everyone else will get an A!" Zhan Kong said.
"What if no one finishes it?" someone couldn't help but ask.
"Then everyone will fail!"
The students were instantly thrown into a frenzy by those words.
They exclaimed, "Why don't we just fail all of us then!"
The noise below grew louder and louder, until Zhan Kong let out a loud shout.
"Shut up, all of you!"
The overwhelming aura instantly subdued everyone. The loudest ones quietly lowered their heads and shielded the others in front of them.
"I have no interest in raising useless people. If this is all you are capable of, you might as well go back to school and practice making puppets. Expecting you to protect the people? Don't be ridiculous. With your abilities, you'd probably need others to come and save you if you saw a demon!"
Zhan Kong said in a deep voice, then paused, looking at the students' dejected expressions, and smiled slightly. "Very good, the effect I wanted has been achieved!"
He then changed the subject, saying, "Of course, I'm a kind person. If any of you completes the bounty, I'll give you an extra defensive magical item as a reward!"
Upon hearing that there were defensive magical artifacts, everyone immediately became excited.
Even the cheapest defensive magic item costs at least several hundred thousand!
Moreover, in this small city, most resources are controlled by powerful families and various forces, not to mention magical artifacts.
Seeing the students' reactions below, Zhan Kong knew that his plan had succeeded.
A generous reward will surely attract brave men!
Sure enough, the group of students picked up maps, shouldered their backpacks, and set off for their training location.
