48: Live-fire exercises

Inside Naxi Farm.

Su Yan, wearing a full set of Level 20 A-Rank equipment and carrying a deep blue greatsword on his back, arrived before the students of Jiangnan No. 2 High School.

"Sorry to keep everyone waiting."

Su Yan greeted the crowd.

The students were still in a state of shock over his Rank,

and quickly expressed that it wasn't long at all—only a few minutes.

"Brother Yan, over here, over here! class three is right here!"

In a prominent spot within the crowd, the class monitor waved his arm excitedly.

"Coming!"

Su Yan smiled and stepped into the class three crowd without hesitation.

The students of class three immediately showed expressions of pride.

Previously, they were used to seeing the people from class five acting arrogant at school,

all because of Jiang Hao, who possessed an A-Rank combat Talent.

But now, the tables had turned, and it was finally class three's turn to be arrogant!

At the front of the crowd.

Jiang Yao withdrew his gaze from Su Yan, his eyes flashing with envy and then hatred.

The flames of jealousy hidden deep in his heart burned fiercely.

But soon, a nearly imperceptible, vicious smile curled at the corners of his mouth.

"Hmph, S-Rank Talent Frost Fury? Soon, I'll turn it back into a trash Talent!"

"Quiet, everyone!"

At this moment, Jiang Yao clapped his hands and said with a serious expression:

"Now that everyone is here, I will explain the details of this practical combat drill."

Through a brief explanation,

the content of this practical combat drill was very simple.

Under Jiang Yao's leadership, all students would travel west from the Beginner Village to the Gale City Ruins.

Then, using the Level 25 BOSS Black Wolf entrenched in the castle as the target for practical teaching,

he would teach them combat techniques and team coordination awareness.

"Here are various medicines and Beginner Village teleportation scrolls prepared by the school for everyone. Class monitors, please distribute them."

Jiang Yao took out a large amount of medicine and teleportation scrolls from his bag,

handed them all to the class monitors, and they were quickly distributed.

To organize this guidance activity, the school had truly spared no expense.

Just for the Beginner Village teleportation scrolls (unit price 800 Gold Coins), they spent a full 400,000 Gold Coins.

Converted to chinese currency, that was 40 million!

Soon,

the distribution was complete, and Su Yan also received a set.

The medicines were all Elementary grade, which were completely incomparable to dragon phoenix blood.

If he consumed one, his health bar wouldn't even budge.

But it was better than nothing; after all, it was free, so he couldn't complain.

Tossing these things into his Void Realm storage bag,

Su Yan stood in the crowd and couldn't help but look around.

"What are you looking for?"

Suddenly, a delicate, bell-like voice came from the right.

Su Yan turned his head to look,

and saw a Level 15 female archer. Her simple beginner gear couldn't hide her explosive figure.

Her chest was nearly bursting out of her clothes, paired with a wasp waist, perky hips, and long, beautiful legs.

This figure was something even Xiao Panxue would envy.

She carried a worn-out bow on her beautiful back and had a very conspicuous pink ponytail.

Because she was wearing a special mask, her ID and appearance couldn't be seen.

"Beautiful lady, who are you?"

Su Yan was stunned for a moment.

The archer said petulantly, "Nonsense, who do you think I am?"

Su Yan frowned, indicating 'who is this, am I close to you?'

Seeing this, the archer seemed to get a bit angry.

She took two steps forward, removed the special mask, and revealed an incredibly exquisite and beautiful face.

"Is it still not obvious?"

Looking at this face that was beautiful enough to be against the rules, Su Yan had a sudden realization and finally concluded... "Don't know you."

He shook his head very decisively.

The archer's eyes went wide, and she said huffily, "Su Yan, I am your father!"

"Get lost, I am your grandfather!"

Su Yan reflexively spat back.

And once those words were out,

Su Yan was slightly surprised. He looked at the archer in front of him again, utterly speechless.

"Xia Xia?"

Tang Xia was very angry, feeling greatly insulted. "You did that on purpose, didn't you?"

Su Yan curled his lip. "On purpose my foot. You're really shameless; this plastic surgery makes you look like a different person. And you have the nerve to say you only did a little bit?"

Tang Xia argued with a flushed face, "Can't I do a 'billion' little bit?"

Impressive, what the hell is a 'billion' little bit!

Su Yan was defeated.

"Also, what's with the pink hair? Are you playing cosplay here?"

Tang Xia said proudly:

"Haven't you heard that the pinker the hair, the fiercer the combat power? With this hair, it's much easier to find a party!"

Speaking of this, Tang Xia crossed her arms and snorted:

"Hmph, you have the nerve to talk about me? You're the shameless one!"

"No wonder you refused to let 'father' carry you no matter what. It turns out you have your girlfriend Xiao Panxue carrying you instead.

Su Yan, how did you have the nerve to tell me you were only Level 1 back then? You made 'father' worry for nothing..."

Her voice grew smaller and smaller, finally becoming barely audible.

Su Yan found it funny and asked tentatively, "Are you jealous?"

"Pah, pah, pah! You're the one who's jealous!"

The thing with Xiao Panxue,

Su Yan only used it to annoy Jiang Yao.

He planned to find a time to explain everything to Tang Xia after this practical combat drill ended.

At this time, under Jiang Yao's command, the team had already begun to set off.

"Let's go, Brother Yan!"

The class monitor took the initiative to come over and greet him.

Su Yan nodded in acknowledgement, then his expression became serious as he whispered to Tang Xia:

"Listen carefully, Xia Xia. This practical combat drill might be dangerous. You'd better stay close to me the whole time."

"Hmph, who wants to stay close to you... I'm not as fragile as you think."

Tang Xia naturally thought he was referring to the high level of the BOSS, which was very dangerous for their group of Level 10-ish players.

This was clearly looking down on her... Along the way.

With a Level 160 powerhouse like Jiang Yao leading the way, the team moved very quickly.

But it wasn't just a simple march.

During the journey, Jiang Yao shared a lot of practical knowledge based on his Divine Punishment experience.

For example, he gave detailed explanations on skill combinations for various classes, attribute point allocation,

and how to quickly increase combat power at relative levels.

This drew the students to follow closely by Jiang Yao's side, for fear of missing any piece of knowledge.

"We've arrived."

Two hours later,

the massive group finally reached the Gale City Ruins.

This was a dilapidated and desolate city. The city walls had collapsed in many places and were gradually becoming overgrown with weeds under the sun and wind.

Su Yan took Tang Xia and followed the crowd into the city.

At this time, two school experts were already waiting here for the BOSS.

Seeing them arrive, they immediately came forward and said:

"You've finally arrived. Hurry into the castle and begin. By the way, do you need us to go in with you to help keep watch?"

Jiang Yao shook his head without a second thought:

"No need. A practical combat drill should simulate a real-world combat scenario as much as possible.

Their levels are still very low right now; they won't lose much even if they die. Instead, it will be of great benefit to their future growth."

As Jiang Yao spoke, he smiled and added:

"Of course, if the situation becomes truly critical, I will step in myself. Surely you two don't distrust even me?"

The two school experts looked at each other and nodded. "Since that's the case, we'll leave it to you."

After saying that, one of the experts came to the front of the crowd and announced loudly:

"This practical combat drill has a time limit of 2 hours. If you can kill the Level 25 Black Wolf BOSS within 2 hours, the school will present everyone with a growth gift package."

"But if during the battle, the casualties exceed half, the two of us will immediately intervene to save you!"

"Do you all understand? Then, without further ado, let's begin!"

...Ten minutes later.

When all the students of Jiangnan No. 2 High School had excitedly entered the castle,

it meant that this practical combat drill had officially begun.

Rumble!

Watching the castle gates slowly close, a deep, poisonous smile appeared in Jiang Yao's eyes.

Next, it was hunting time!
