Battling Records of the Chosen One

Chapter 124: Monthly Assessment

In the warehouse.

Lin Xun sat upright in front of the high table, held a sharp inscribing pen and gently dipped the “Blue-water Spiritual Ink”. By exquisite perception, Lin well controlled his spiritual power, blended it into the tip of the pen and began to inscribe spiritual tattoo on the saber.

His back was straight and he concentrated his attention on inscribing. His handsome face had a kind of extraordinary calmness and peace.

“Have you seen anyone who was able to refine a spiritual device with the cultivation of Martial Realm?” In the distance, Young Man stared at Lin Xun’s back and looked somewhat stunned.

“Yes, I have, but such people are very few. Some gifted descendants of the three aristocratic families of spiritual tattooists in the empire are able to do this,” Old Mo meditated and said.

“Have you seen such a situation and someone like Lin Xun?” Young Man continued to ask and was still in a trance.

Young Man sighed with emotion before Old Mo could answer, “No, at least I have not heard of the news on anyone like him before. At the age of thirteen or fourteen, he is only a spiritual apprentice, but he is refining a spiritual weapon by himself. If I have not seen it with my own eyes, I will doubt whether it is true.”

Old Mo’s expression was a little complicated, “This guy is really unique. I once met a female student named Feng Qingyou who was as 13 or 14 years old at that time in the Green-deer School. Like Lin Xun, she also has attainments beyond imagination in spiritual tattoos. After several years, she became a spiritual tattoo master at the age of nineteen, which shocked the whole Green-deer School and caused a sensation throughout the whole empire. And she is called ‘Talented Girl’, therefore.”

After a pause, he continued, “I knew it later that the father of this female student is the person in charge of Feng’s Family, one of the three aristocratic families of spiritual tattoos. And her mentor is the dean of Spiritual Tattoo Department of Green-deer School. So, it is not surprising that she can become a ‘Spiritual Tattoo Master’ at the age of nineteen.”

Hearing this, Young Man suddenly said, “Do you mean that Lin Xun is different from the girl named Feng Qingyou?”

Old Mo nodded, “Yes. Lin Xun even shows higher attainments than Feng Qingyou at that time in spiritual tattoos. At least… Feng Qingyou at his age was unable to remould the spiritual furnace of Ziying Battleship.”

Only by contrast could we know the true value of an object, and the same was true of people.

When Young Man heard this, there was a stir in her mind and she looked at the back of Lin Xun in the distance in a different way, “So the guy’s future achievement is destined to be greater than Feng Qingyou’s?”

Old Mo nodded without hesitation and said, “I wonder where this guy comes from on earth. People like him are not supposed to be in Bloodthirsty Camp!”

Young Man frowned and said, “Old Mo, you’d better not let out the information about Lin Xun. He is so young now. If he is targeted, he may have honor and position beyond imagination later, but he is destined to be a vassal of others and have no command over himself!”

Old Mo looked a little different and he did have the thought. In his opinion, it was a waste of a talent that Lin Xun stayed in Bloodthirsty Camp. He was supposed to be in the Forbidden City and the Green-deer School where he was destined to be able to cut a conspicuous figure, display his ambitions and become world-famous.

“Don’t forget how you came here,” Young Man glanced at Old Mo.

The sentence caused a sudden change of Old Mo’s look and he finally said bitterly, “Indeed, without enough power, one has to be oppressed by the big shots; no matter how high the honor and position are, they are still meaningless.”

Young Man said, “Old Mo, I hope you can remember what you said today. I will report today’s thing to Chief Shu. I believe if he knows it, he will have the same idea as me.”

Chief Shu was Shu Sanqi.

Hearing this, Old Mo completely extinguished the last fantasy in his heart and said, “Well, I just cherish talents. Since you don’t agree with me, I won’t bother to say anything more.”

At the moment, a buzz and then a ripple of clang from a saber arose in the warehouse.

Old Mo and Young Man raised their heads and saw Lin Xun had stood up and was looking at the saber held by him.

Wisps of ripple-like light veiled the saber. The color was like blue sea and lake and made people feel a sense of vastness.

He had succeeded!

On the first try!

Old Mo and Young Man were experienced and knowledgeable. At one sight, they realized that the saber which was originally an ordinary weapon had changed completely and become a spiritual weapon- Greenwave Saber!

They looked at each other and saw the shock which could not be hided in each other’s eyes.

Refining a spiritual weapon successfully on one try. Such a success rate should be from a spiritual apprentice only on the seventh level of Martial Realm… What a shock!

…

It was late at night, but Camp 40 was not quiet.

The 39 trainees all gathered. They stood in the hall of the camp and listened to the analysis of their Drillmaster Residual Wolf.

Residual Wolf was a thin man with a pale face and blade-like eyes long and narrow. His temperament was effeminate and cold. He was just like a wolf cruising on the wasteland and seeking to devour a human being.

“Drillmaster Young Ke is very powerful. Among the whole forty camps, she is one of the ruthless characters whom I’d never want to fight with.”

The effeminate voice of Residual Wolf, which was like a serpent hissing, arose. Even though they had been used to it, a chill still came to many trainees.

“You must know that Camp 39 is the camp with the highest elimination rate. This means that the remaining 24 trainees must be the cream of the crop. When you fight with them tomorrow, if you are neglectful and careless, you will be eliminated!”

The analysis of Residual Wolf made many trainees serious.

“However, you need not be too afraid. Not to mention the superiority in the number of people, as for the overall fighting capacity of each trainee, trainee in our Camp 40 is not inferior to anyone from other camps!”

When saying this, Residual Wolf suddenly pointed to a young boy with strong and vigorous body and unusual deportment and said, “Like Di Jun, he is able to fight against any overmatches such as Lee Qiu, Wen Mingxiu and Mou Lengshin of Camp 39!”

The eyes of the boy called Di Jun brightened. He cupped his hands and said, “I won’t let you down, Drillmaster.”

Residual Wolf did not express his opinion. Then he pointed to a valiant young girl who wore her long hair in a bun and said, “Lei Shinyue is also good. But you have to be careful of Ning Meng. Both of you are practicing the martial arts of thunder attribute. If you meet him, the situation of the battle is bound to be fierce.”

Lei Shinyue lifted her chin slightly and said with some expectations, “I just want to compare ‘Thunder Power from All Directions (TPAD)’ of his Ning’s Family with ‘Gang-thunder Swordplay’ of my Lei’s Family, and see which one is more powerful!”

Residual Wolf still did not express his opinion and his eyes ran down the crowd. Then he looked at a young boy with the most common appearance and temperament. He said after keeping silent for a long time, “Gong Ming, you should know that three most troublesome people of Camp 39 are Shi Yu, Ning Meng and Qi Can. I hope that you can try your best to beat any one of them.”

After hearing this, all trainees were stunned and his words caused quite a stir.

Gong Ming was extremely common among them and his points could only be considered as the middle rank. His performance was always so ordinary that he was easy to be neglected by other people.

No one had ever thought that Drillmaster Residual Wolf would think highly of him at the moment, which was very surprising.

But some trainees who knew the exact background of Gong Ming thought that the arrangement of Drillmaster Residual Wolf was the most appropriate. Few people in the world dared to underestimate descendants of Gong’s Family with the title of Tumbler’s in the empire!

Gong Ming did not say anything, but only nodded.

“All in all, the top three trainees in Camp 39 are Shi Yu, Ning Meng and Qi Can. No matter who meet them, you have to spare no pains.”

“Besides them, Lee Qiu, Wen Mingxiu and Mou Lengshin can’t be underestimated, either.”

“As to other trainees in Camp 39, they are roughly as good as our trainees in Camp 40. The result depends on how you give play to your power in tomorrow’s monthly assessment.”

Here, Residual Wolf took a deep breath and said, “You have to remember that tomorrow’s assessment is not only about whether you will be eliminated, but also about whether the whole Camp 40 will be dismantled. I hope you will not let me down!”

All trainees looked serious, with high fighting morale in their eyes.

At the moment, someone suddenly said, “Drillmaster, I heard that Camp 39 is very lively today. A guy named Lin Xun beat Shin Wenbin to haematemesis and coma, which caused a great disturbance. Do you think that Lin Xun is worth paying attention to?”

Lin Xun?

Many people were confused for they heard the name for the first time.

Residual Wolf did not know the name, either. He frowned and said, “This kind of thing happens in forty camps every day. So it is not strange.”

This meant that Lin Xun could not be mentioned in the same breath with Shi Yu, Ning Meng and Qi Can. And he even could not be compared with Lee Qiu, Wen Mingxiu and Mou Lengshin. In Residual Wolf’s opinion, they could pay attention to Lin, but did not need to pay too much attention to him.

This kind of conversation before the monthly assessment almost happened in every camp this evening. The whole Bloodthirsty Camp seemed to be enveloped in the smell of gunpowder.

Only Camp 39 was very quiet. Trainees were practicing or sleeping. This night seemed to be no different from every other night.

This might be the training style of Drillmaster Young Ke.

Early in the morning of next day.

With the first glimmer of dawn, a treasure ship crushed clouds and landed on Camp 39. Then it carried twenty-four trainees, including Lin Xun, to the sky and disappeared.

Nearly at the same time, treasure ships took off from different camps. The scene was magnificent.

Today was the day of monthly assessment!

After today, half of the forty camps of Bloodthirsty Camp would be removed. This meant that many trainees would be eliminated!

The monthly assessment was arranged in different areas and locations. The fight between Camp 39 and Camp 40 was arranged in an assessment area named “Scorpion Ridge”.

It was a barren wasteland rarely seen in the desert. Scorpion Ridge seemed not to be big, but its terrain was complex. The whole area was filled with poisonous insects and fierce beasts, extremely dangerous.

The content of the monthly assessment was very simple. The trainees of the two camps were placed in different locations of Scorpion Ridge. They would have unprecedented brutal fighting in Scorpion Ridge!
