34: Chapter 34 The formidable strength of the Prodigy Camp! Brothers through thick and thin!

The jeep drove on for who knows how long. All that was known was that they had long left behind the hustle and bustle of the city, with only the breeze of the forest blowing continuously.

"We are here." Ning Zhiyi stopped the car.

She looked back, a glimmer of intrigue flashing in her eyes.

Not long after getting into the car, she had sensed that Lu Qingyun, sitting in the back, seemed to have directly entered a state of cultivation.

Although cultivation in the Aperture-Opening Realm did not rely on special stances to raise one's blood energy like the Mortal Shedding Realm, and the range of movement was not large, regardless of that, would there really be no issues with cultivating inside a constantly shaking off-road vehicle?

Lu Qingyun, who remained in good condition even after cultivating until now, answered her question with the reality of the situation.

"So special..." Ning Zhiyi muttered to herself in a low voice.

Having just finished his cultivation, Lu Qingyun stepped out of the car and took a deep breath of fresh air.

Appearing before him was a small town built deep within the vast forest, covering an extremely large area.

At the entrance, there were more than ten people standing guard.

The top of the city walls was equipped with various modern weapons, which possessed great lethality against ordinary ferocious beasts.

Furthermore, from the very beginning, with Lu Qingyun's powerful mental energy, he had detected quite a few gazes falling upon him from the shadows, seemingly assessing his threat level.

"Vice Instructor, Ning Zhiyi. Carrying the order of Chief Instructor Meng, I am bringing a newcomer into the camp." Ning Zhiyi's expression was serious as she presented her credentials.

Subsequently, after undergoing a round of inspections, they successfully entered.

Upon entering the camp, Lu Qingyun heard wailing and howling from a distance, sounding like pigs being slaughtered for the New Year, which was quite chilling.

"Instructor Lin, please go easy! My bones were broken three times just yesterday; if you break them again, I'm afraid I'll develop osteoporosis!"

"Stop stabbing me, I confess! I confess to everything! The gathering of the beast tide was planned by me, the evil cult invasion was directed by me personally, and that meteorite from beyond the sky that caused the whole world to change drastically was also brought down by me. I am a sinner against all of humanity; stop stabbing me with half-meter steel needles, any more and I'll really turn into a hedgehog!"

"Didn't we agree that it would just be breaking a large stone on my chest? What do you mean I am the large stone!!"

"Hahaha! This liquor has a kick, but after drinking it, my body feels a bit itchy, I keep wanting to scratch it. Eh? This piece of meat seems to be my own skin..."

Ning Zhiyi's expression remained unchanged, as if she were long accustomed to these sounds.

However, as if afraid that Lu Qingyun might misunderstand something, she explained, "Don't overthink it; those are all training exercises. Those who can enter the Tianjiao Camp basically all have their own unique strengths, so there are fewer unified courses. It is more about teaching students in accordance with their aptitude."

"Don't look at how miserably those people are screaming; in reality, every instructor has a sense of measure, ensuring it is what allows them to improve the fastest."

"So... throughout so many sessions, there has never been a session where the death toll exceeded the quota, so rest assured."

This sounded like comfort, but in the end, it revealed a bloody fact! This Tianjiao Camp had a death quota! People would die!

Ning Zhiyi kept her attention on Lu Qingyun's reaction.

Upon seeing that his expression still hadn't changed in the slightest, as if he hadn't heard anything at all, she raised an eyebrow.

"Alright, your training won't start until tomorrow."

"I'll take you to register your information first, and then we'll select a dormitory."

"As for the rest, after staying for a few more days, you will naturally understand. As for me... I need to go and enjoy my remaining few hours of vacation."

Ning Zhiyi shrugged, wearing an expression of utter helplessness.

When passing by a training ground, Lu Qingyun glanced inside, his eyes narrowing slightly.

Inside the entire training ground, at a glance, dozens of people of his age were mostly warriors of the Aperture Opening Realm!

And those instructors were at the very least Innate Realm experts whose power exceeded the range of detection!

In the entire Jiang City, the only person to have stepped into the Innate Realm was Jiang Yanqiu, and with her Innate Realm cultivation, she was enough to disregard all the chaos in Jiang City!

But here, any instructor pulled out at random was at least a Innate Realm expert! Not to mention what kind of powerful existence the Chief Instructor must be.

This Tianjiao Camp, founded by the official authorities of the entire Lanchuan Province, truly lived up to its reputation!

After registering his information, Ning Zhiyi took Lu Qingyun to a building and left happily.

"Fourth floor, room two, this should be it." Lu Qingyun opened the door and discovered that this was actually a four-person dormitory.

However, the space was not small, covering about a hundred square meters.

The other three beds showed signs of life, clearly indicating that they were already in use.

According to Ning Zhiyi's introduction, the entire Tianjiao Camp had already been open for nearly ten days.

Lu Qingyun was someone who had joined midway; although it wasn't too late, as a newly entered individual, it was quite difficult to integrate into the group.

However, Lu Qingyun didn't care at all about integrating into the group.

After putting his few belongings away, he directly found an empty spot and wholeheartedly began to practice his cultivation technique.

"The Proficient-level Blood Fiend Arts is still not enough; the speed of increasing level experience is too slow."

"If I work a little harder, I can almost reach the Great Success realm. As for the limit of the technique... I presume there will be no lack of Aperture-Opening Realm or even Innate Realm-level techniques in this Tianjiao Camp!"

Lu Qingyun took a deep breath, the blood energy within his body flowing and transforming into streams of qi that circulated through every aperture of his body!

[Blood Fiend Arts (seven similar techniques already integrated) experience +1, +1...]

Who knows how much time passed; twilight had already appeared outside the window.

"Hoo—!" Lu Qingyun slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, a glimmer of joy flashing in his eyes.

After such a long time of cultivation, he had finally and arduously practiced this technique to the Great Success realm!

Just at this moment, a noisy sound suddenly rang out from outside the door.

The lock turned, and three people covered in sweat and looking exhausted pushed the door open and entered.

Upon seeing Lu Qingyun standing by the window, they were visibly stunned for a moment.

Two of them frowned slightly, looked Lu Qingyun up and down, and without any intention of greeting him, they picked up their towels and walked outside, as if they hadn't seen Lu Qingyun at all.

The remaining one, a bloated fatty with eyes so small they were just slits, pushed up the half-rimmed black-framed glasses on the bridge of his nose, grinned at Lu Qingyun, and approached him in an unusually familiar manner, saying:

"Brother, are you that young master from a noble family who joined midway?"

"We are the same kind of people! My name is Dong Dajin! I was also sent here by my family to get some gilding; the main purpose is to get a spot at a Top-tier Martial University, no, the main purpose is to make friends everywhere."

"Don't mind those two jerks just now. They look down on us gilded young masters from the bottom of their hearts, so even though we've been here for so long, I haven't spoken a few words to them. It's a good thing you came; from now on, us two unfortunate brothers can team up."

"You just arrived, so you don't know how perverted those instructors at the Tianjiao Camp are! Would you believe it, they used me as a stone and smashed me with those hundred-jin iron hammers! If I hadn't stored up enough fat, I'm afraid I would have been smashed to the point of vomiting blood long ago!"

Being mistaken for a noble family descendant, Lu Qingyun didn't explain anything.

Furthermore, he had no interest in teaming up with anyone.

After simply stating his name, he intended to go change his clothes. After all, although his body could recover its state, the strong smell of sweat on his clothes and the stench formed by the impurities excreted would only become more pungent.

However, the words that followed from Dong Dajin stopped Lu Qingyun, who had just wanted to be a ruthless, solitary cultivation machine, in his tracks.

"With our strength, going through this kind of perverted training every day, it's inevitable that our bodies will have some problems."

"However, fortunately, my family has a bit of money and connections, and they send me a portion of medicinal soup every day. I'll have them prepare an extra portion; consider it a gesture of goodwill from me, brother."

Dong Dajin patted his chest, causing a wave of ripples, with his belly shaking a few times along with it.

Lu Qingyun, however, suddenly said with a serious expression: "Then what more is there to say, we are brothers! However, can this medicinal soup be swapped for a cuiqiao pill?"
