Battling Records of the Chosen One

Chapter 141: The Mark of Her Red Lips

After the quarterly assessment, more than 50% of the existing 600 trainees were directly sifted out, and there were only 237 people left.

Finally, 12 camps that had lost the most trainees were directly disbanded, and the trainees left in each camp were incorporated into the other eight camps.

Each one of the other seven camps was made up of 30 trainees, while there were 27 trainees in Camp 39.

That meant that around Lin Xun, someone familiar would leave while some strangers would come in return.

Like Shin Wenbin, he had been completely eliminated in last monthly assessment. Unfortunately, Wen Mingxiu was knocked out in this quarterly assessment.

In a word, among those senior trainees who belonged to the first batch to join in Camp 39, only Lin Xun, Shi Yu, Ning Meng, Qi Can, Lee Qiu, Mou Lengshin, and the other two were left.

Other trainees, including Gong Ming, Lei Shinyue, Di Jun, and Ye Qi, came from Camp 40 that didn’t exist now.

Besides, the rest were the new trainees who were just incorporated into Camp 39 after the quarterly assessment.

Whoever survived the quarterly assessment was quite powerful. Lee Duxing was the one who attracted the most attention among all the newcomers.

The teenager had gained his fame since the training in the Bloodthirsty Camp just began. He even could compete with Bai Lingshi, Zhao Yin, Zhangsun Heng, and the other top ones with respect to the strength.

Just as what his name meant, Lee Duxing kept a low profile, preferred acting alone, and befriended with nobody. Unsocial and taciturn as he was, he undoubtedly boasted high battle effectiveness.

Many people had speculated about his background. Some held that he was born in the “Lees of Yuntong”, which was one of the seven great aristocratic families in the Forbidden City of Ziyao Empire.

Some also guessed that he came from Icy Fog City known as the “Snow City” in the northern borderland of Ziyao Empire and that he was a descendant of the “Lees on Snow Mountain” there.

Some even said that his background was shrouded in mystery and that he might come from an ancient country millions of miles away from the Ziyao Empire.

No matter what the rumors were, his high battle effectiveness was beyond doubt.

Such a mysterious and low-key teenager was suddenly incorporated into Camp 39, which naturally caused everyone’s alarm.

Some people like Shi Yu, Ning Meng, Qi Can, even Gong Ming, Lei Shinyue, Di Jun, and the others felt stressful because of his arrival.

One powerful trainee appearing in Camp 39 meant that their ranks in the camp would be threatened.

However, as far as Lin Xun was concerned, Lee’s arrival invisibly attracted much public attention to Lin’s controversial titled – “the first place of this quarterly assessment”, which made Lin relieved a lot.

In Old Mo’s warehouse in the evening of the quarterly assessment.

Lin Xun comfortably lay on the chair. Here, he didn’t need to worry that someone would disturb him. At least, he didn’t need to respond to the doubts and rebukes from the others.

Closing his eyes, Lin Xun silently deduced the secrets of Nature Insight & Spirit-Devour Scripture in his mind.

The scripture used to cultivate the spiritual energy could be described by two words: “fantastic” and “overwhelming”.

“Fantastic” meant that unlike the other scriptures with the cultivation means from the internal to the external, it could be practiced both internally and externally at the same time.

The most fantastic thing was that according to the scripture, the body of a practitioner was tantamount to a great furnace. Internally, it could help the practitioner refine the body and temper the Taoist foundation. Externally, it could enable the practitioner to absorb the spiritual energy from all directions and the body of the practitioner amounted to a carrier of spiritual energy!

Put it in a simple way: the uniqueness of this scripture was that it took into account both the physical body cultivation and the spiritual energy cultivation at the same time.

The physical body cultivation was from the external to the internal.

The spiritual energy cultivation was from the internal to the external.

Although the above two cultivation methods were different, they could complement each other. Many practitioners in the world adopted these two methods to cultivate themselves.

Nature Insight & Spirit-Devour Scripture could enable the practitioners to refine their physical body and spiritual energy at the same time. That was why it was considered fantastic and beyond imagination.

“Overwhelming” meant that the scripture set strict rules on the practitioners who wanted to practice it. It required that the practitioner have not only a strong physical body, but also a peerless and solid foundation.

Because only in this way could the practitioner bear the power of this scripture. Otherwise, the one would risk exploding to death.

However, confronted with such a requirement, many practitioners chose not to cultivate it. But to Lin Xun, the requirement wasn’t a problem at all. He even thought that this scripture was specially tailored for him.

In terms of the physical strength, he could compete with powerful practitioners at the eighth level of Martial Realm. When it came to the spiritual energy, he was much more powerful than those at the mastery phase of the ninth level of Martial Realm.

“’Mille-waterfalls’… It’s no wonder why it is a great boost for body refining. It turns out that this test prepares me for practicing Nature Insight & Spirit-Devour Scripture. If I can’t pass the test, it means that my physical strength isn’t suitable for practicing this scripture at all…”

Suddenly, a glimmer of insight arose in his heart, and then he realized that “Mille-waterfalls” was set up in Heaven-accessing Place in order to lay the foundation for Nature Insight & Spirit-Devour Scripture.

If someone couldn’t pass the test, the one, in other words, was disqualified to cultivate the scripture.

Lin Xun made a decision secretly that from now on, he started to practice Nature Insight & Spirit-Devour Scripture and quit cultivating Spirit-concentrating Manual that he had practiced.

Spirit-concentrating Manual featured moderation and harmony, and stressed that one practicing it should be pure and firm. Lin Xun was too weak before, so he had to practice such a mild manual. However, he was different now. As a result, he was barely satisfied to continue practicing this manual.

“Hi, guys, I’m back!”

The sweet and coquettish laughter arose abruptly, and then Young Man’s slim figure rushed into the warehouse.

At the moment, she was in high spirit. Her beautiful and sexy cheeks were glowing, and a visible bright smile was blooming beside her full red lips.

“Come here, my little handsome buddy. Let me kiss you!”

Young Man rushed to Lin Xun. Before Lin could make a reaction, his face was held by her soft white hands. Then, she left a mark of her red lips on his face.

Lin Xun was immediately taken aback. Was he kissed against his own will?

Having not waited for his reaction, Young Man set his face free. But, she stared at him with her bright beautiful eyes and chuckled, “Well done this time. I’m very happy, and that’s a reward I give to you!”

“I want a reward, too,” Old Mo had already rushed over at the time. He opened his arms and looked at her lewdly and shamelessly.

“Buzz off. As soon as I see your face, I want to puke,” said Young Man with a cold snort. She kicked him away by one kick, making him sadly scream.

“It’s unfair!” Old Mo looked sad.

Lin Xun came down to earth from the shock and asked with surprise, “Since you’re so happy, have you won a lot of good stuff from this bet?”

Young Man snapped her fingers and said with complacency, “You’re so smart. I didn’t lose face at all. Besides, I won 49,000 points!”

Old Mo screamed before Lin Xun spoke something, “So many? Will you be able to leave the Bloodthirsty Camp soon, right?”

Young Man responded to him with a nod. Immediately, she appeared to think of something, and then her face darkened; she said, “But, I’ll stay here for now.”

She became somewhat dispirited now. Subsequently, she left quickly without saying much.

“Old Mo, what’s the relationship between the accumulated point and departure?” Lin Xun couldn’t help asking.

Having thought for a while, Old Mo explained vaguely, “You just need to know that if the accumulated points are enough, the drillmasters in the camp will become free. They don’t need to assume the responsibilities and obligations of our empire anymore.”

Lin Xun replied to him with an “oh”, but deep down, he knew that the process wasn’t so simple as what Old Mo said.

To Lin Xun’s surprise, Young Ke showed up in the warehouse after Young Man left for a while.

Why did Young Ke come here at midnight?

In the past, if unnecessary, Young Ke was unwilling to set her foot there, because she didn’t want to meet Young Man.

“Tomorrow noon, the Bloodthirsty Camp will grant a prize to each trainee who is on the top 10 in this quarterly assessment. Furthermore, Drillmaster Shu will show you a place in person.”

She directly expressed her purpose without saying nonsense. But, she looked at Lin Xun with a trace of curiosity.

Lin Xun nodded and thought that what prize the top one trainee would obtain this time.

“Old Mo, follow me. Chief Shu wants to see you,” said Young Ke to Old Mo.

“For what?” Old Mo felt confused and didn’t understand what was going on.

“Just come with me.”

Young Ke was done explaining. Before leaving here, she suddenly came over to Lin Xun. She looked at him with her pure eyes and then said, “Don’t you feel disgusted?”

Lin Xun said with surprise, “Drillmaster, what’s wrong with me?”

Young Ke turned around and left without more explanation.

Only Old Mo seemed aware of something. With an obscene look, he walked to Lin Xun and said with a sneer, “It’s really disgusting!”

After that, he left, too. Lin Xun was left alone in confusion. Disgusting? What did it mean?

He inadvertently caught sight of a smooth copper column next to him. When he saw his face mirrored on it, he instantly did a double take with a bitter smile.

The kiss from Young Man left a visible red mark of her lips on his cheek…

“Is this an unexpected calamity?”

Lin Xun lifted his hand to wipe the mark off and sat on the chair with a helpless look. But deep down, he was pondering why Shu Sanqi asked Old Mo to meet him at midnight.

Was it involved with the Meteors Crossbow?

Lin Xun was lost in his contemplation. Since he decided to help Old Mo to remold the spiritual furnace of the Ziying Battleship, he knew that the knowledge about spiritual tattoos he exposed would absolutely draw others’ attention.

That was what he wanted, too. He wanted to prove his value. Thus, he might get as many as benefits from the Bloodthirsty Camp.

As a matter of fact, he had thereby obtained much welfare over these days. Each day, he obtained countless Condensate Pills and Young Man’s personal instruction. Even some time, Young Ke had trained him alone in private.

Lin Xun was the only one who could enjoy such privileges in the entire Bloodthirsty Camp.

In the meantime, he was also concerned that what he had exposed was so eye-catching that it would cause some unnecessary troubles.

Just like this time, he was uncertain that why Shu Sanqi wanted to meet Old Mo and that whether this would exert a bad influence on his own situation.
