220: Chapter 220 Training Squad

"These two guys... Never mind, Dun Dun seems to be here." Mu Cheng no longer worried.

He sent a message: "Alright! Send me over, let me see what I still need to handle."

In the blink of an eye, Mu Cheng was teleported to the seaside, which was no longer blue.

Instead, it was an endless black.

"I'm not too clear on the specifics; someone will come here to meet you," Lan Ninger sent a message.

Mu Cheng watched the helicopter slowly flying over and immediately understood everything.

"It seems to be ordinary soldiers... I remember hot weapons can't be used."

Soon, the helicopter slowly landed, and a girl in a black military uniform ran over.

"Hello, Commander, I am Ye Yu, in charge of receiving you."

"Tell me, what's the tricky problem?" Mu Cheng got straight to the point.

Ye Yu: "Let's talk on the helicopter!"

Mu Cheng didn't hesitate and boarded the helicopter.

"Commander, the specific situation is that we discovered a strange foggy island. This is all the information we have," Ye Yu got straight to the point, operating her high-tech bracelet to transmit the information to Mu Cheng.

"Is this all the information you have? It doesn't seem very useful," Mu Cheng said after reading it carefully.

Ye Yu: "Commander, please forgive our inadequacy. We had no other choice but to apply to the Super Ability Academy and waited for half a year."

"I'm truly sorry, I will do my best to investigate thoroughly." Mu Cheng finally understood.

Why there were still helicopters... it turned out to be because there weren't many Ability users or Bloodline Power owners.

Ye Yu: "If you need anything, Commander, just tell me, I will try my best to satisfy you..."

"No need, I... don't lack resources." Mu Cheng found her words a bit awkward.

When in Rome, do as the Romans do. After all, he wasn't short on time, so Mu Cheng still didn't leap out of the helicopter.

Instead, he waited very patiently...

After more than three hours, the helicopter finally stopped on a small island base, which was not very large, about thirty kilometers in size.

As soon as he arrived, Lan Ninger sent a message.

"Can you help me train a team for a month?"

"Alright! But if there's any trouble in Ancient City or Dongfang City, you must notify me immediately." Mu Cheng hesitated for a while but finally agreed.

Lan Ninger replied: "No problem."

"That Ye Yu, right? How many people are in this base? Are there any promising talents? I can help you train them!" Mu Cheng coughed and asked.

"Is this Commander really okay?" Ye Yu seriously doubted him, but still sent a list to Mu Cheng.

"There are indeed a few; they used to be special forces. Here's the list and their specialties."

Mu Cheng carefully studied the dozen names on the list and finally made a decision.

"Bai Chen, Yue Xue, Ling Tianzhong, Gu Churan, Gu Chuyue, I want these five people."

"Okay, no problem, I'll arrange it right away." Ye Yu didn't care about the details; since he was sent by the Super Ability Academy.

His strength definitely wouldn't be weak, and having him help with training was naturally the best possible outcome.

Ye Yu's efficiency was quite high; in less than five minutes, all five people Mu Cheng wanted were found.

"Listen up, all of you, from now on you belong to the Commander. This is an order, do you understand?" She emphasized again, very seriously.

"This girl... is indeed not simple. Do what needs to be done."

Ye Yu suddenly changed into a different person, which indeed surprised Mu Cheng a bit.

"Um... do you want to train with us?" Mu Cheng coughed and asked.

Ye Yu thought for a moment and said, "Commander, how long will the training last?"

"Not long, about a month!" Mu Cheng replied.

Ye Yu: "No problem, I'll brief the base on things in ten minutes."

Mu Cheng: "Go ahead!"

After Ye Yu left, Mu Cheng became even more serious.

"I'm not a man of culture, I just want to ask you one question: do you want to become stronger?"

There was dead silence; none of the five made a sound, but they stood perfectly straight... which was enough to show their discipline.

"This guy... shouldn't they be shouting loudly?" Mu Cheng was a bit confused by this reaction.

But he still asked seriously, "Bai Chen, tell me, why don't you want to become stronger?"

"Reporting, Commander, we are just ordinary people and cannot awaken Bloodline Power or Ability at all."

Without Ability, there was indeed a world of difference.

"Sister Ninger, give me some low-grade energy crystals." Mu Cheng, knowing the reason, quickly sent a message to Lan Ninger.

Lan Ninger quickly sent a reply: "I've given you millions each, you figure it out!"

Mu Cheng was too lazy to say more, and casually punched a nearby rock.

Instantly, the rock shattered into pieces.

"See this rock? I didn't use Bloodline Power or Ability, and I can still easily crush it."

"Commander, Ye Yu requests to rejoin the team." Ye Yu happened to return and witness this.

She thought: Can an ordinary person really do this?

Mu Cheng: "Come back! From now on, you can call me instructor, 'Commander' sounds too awkward."

"Do you know what this is?" Mu Cheng also got straight to the point, taking out a white crystal.

"Yes, it's a white crystal. Consuming it can improve physical strength and power," Ling Tianzhong answered loudly.

Mu Cheng: "It's good that someone knows. I can provide you with enough crystals. I'll ask you again, do you want to become stronger?"

"Yes!!"

This time, everyone answered.

Mu Cheng: "Very good, but getting crystals won't be easy. What I want to see is your performance."

"I don't have time to waste words with you. This is a high-tech bracelet, Ye Yu, hand them out."

A moment later, Ye Yu distributed the high-tech bracelets.

"This is qianji, from Menglou Pavilion. Some of you should know how to use it, right?" Mu Cheng continued, taking out six sets of qianji.

And each set was replenished with one million star-glow crystals...

"I know how to use it, but I remember it needs star-glow crystals for energy," Gu Churan replied.

Mu Cheng: "Don't worry, I will provide them during training."

"I'll ask again, does anyone want to quit?"

Quit? You can casually smash a rock, only a fool would quit.

"No," everyone said in unison.

Mu Cheng: "Gu Churan, right? You know how to use it. I'll give you ten minutes, can you teach them how to use it?"

"Instructor, I guarantee to complete the task in ten minutes!" Gu Churan shouted confidently.

"Very good, step forward!" After Mu Cheng handed her the six sets of qianji.

He operated his high-tech bracelet to send a message: "Sister Ninger, help me plan a route that takes a month to reach Fog Island."

"It's already planned." Lan Ninger replied in less than a minute.

Ten minutes, not a second more, not a second less.

"Time's up, you can follow!" Mu Cheng released his Purple Cloud Wings and soared into the sky.

The six used their qianji, transforming into flight backpacks, and followed closely behind...

"They learn quickly, but for true powerhouses to grow... combat is essential." Mu Cheng flew along the route.

Soon, they arrived at a small island, an island covered in scattered rocks.

"The first stop is here. There are about a thousand Black Giant Rats. For your first time, my demands aren't high; you only need to kill ten to get one white crystal." Mu Cheng finished giving the task and landed on the island.

The six members of the team followed closely, and soon they were surrounded by dense swarms of Black Giant Rats.

With the qianji's enhancement, dealing with them was only a matter of time.

"It's a pity there's no Black Giant Rat King. Let them warm up first!" Mu Cheng kept everything in his sight.

As time passed, in less than an hour, all thousand Black Giant Rats were wiped out.

"They turned into energy bodies and disappeared... not even a single grey crystal?" Mu Cheng looked at the scene before him and finally understood the whole truth.

It wasn't that they didn't want to get stronger, but that they lacked crystals.

"Cough, cough, consider this a warm-up. Ye Yu, here are 120 white crystals, divide them evenly." Mu Cheng ultimately softened his heart.

"Yes, Instructor." Although Ye Yu was puzzled, she still divided them according to Mu Cheng's instructions.

"Alright, I'm giving you white crystals, not for direct consumption, but to restore your stamina." Mu Cheng also got straight to the point.

And he planned a route: "I've planned a ten-kilometer route for you, with a hundred pounds of weight. I hope you can complete it in an hour."

"Instructor, can we start?" Bai Chen was clearly impatient.

Mu Cheng: "The moment you killed the Black Giant Rats, it already began."

Upon hearing this, the six immediately started running wildly...

Chasing each other, no one willing to yield...

In the end, the six didn't disappoint Mu Cheng, all completing ten kilometers within an hour.

"Alright, swallow your first white crystal, and continue!"

Before the six could recover, Mu Cheng immediately issued another command.

Due to swallowing the white crystals, everyone instantly recovered to their peak, and running ten kilometers now only took fifty minutes.

"Keep going! Keep going! Swallow a white crystal after each lap." Mu Cheng remained very serious.

As time went on, by the twentieth lap, everyone only took less than ten minutes.

"Is this the effect of white crystals? I feel my strength has more than doubled instantly," Gu Chuyue felt incredibly surprised.

Bai Chen: "Our current strength has indeed far surpassed ordinary people by more than double."

"This is incredible, in less than a day," Ye Yu was also very shocked.

Mu Cheng: "white crystals can change your physique. Although they can't give you Bloodline Power and Ability, they can allow your strength to continuously surpass its limits."

"Alright, for the next three days, add fifty pounds of weight for every lap you run. This is for Rice Ball, it's really hard to keep going without one."

After speaking, he had Ye Yu distribute them, a thousand pieces for each person...

"Instructor... you're really ruthless, but I won't give up." Bai Chen took the lead and continued running.

The remaining five also followed... As the number of laps increased, the weight on everyone's bodies also rapidly increased.

From the original hundred pounds, three days later... it was already close to four thousand pounds.

"Congratulations on successfully completing the first stage. From today onwards, the weight will still increase by fifty daily."

Mu Cheng hadn't been idle these three days either; he had found a second island that was very suitable for them.

"Follow me! Your training officially begins."

After witnessing Mu Cheng's ruthlessness, the six didn't ask any more questions... instead, they were very much looking forward to what kind of surprises this instructor could bring.

An hour later.

"On this small island, there are 20 Third-order Zombies, 50 Second-order Zombies, and 300 First-order Zombies."

"This time, you need to show your true abilities. I have already planned all the rules and the locations of the zombies."

"The instructor is tough, but resources are meant to be seized by oneself," Ling Tianzhong glanced.

Killing a Third-order Zombie earns three points, killing a Second-order Zombie earns two points, and killing a First-order Zombie earns one point.

The rewards will be decided by the points after an hour. The first place prize is one hundred white crystals, second place is eighty white crystals, and third place is fifty white crystals.

Fourth, fifth, and sixth places receive a consolation prize of ten white crystals.

Ye Yu was quite excited after reading it. "Instructor, can we start?"

"Yes, yes, yes, Instructor, can we start?" Gu Churan was also impatient.

Not just them, but the remaining four were also eager.

"Wait, I'll add a temporary rule: you cannot use the equipment you brought," Mu Cheng thought for a moment and added.

"Five, four, three, two, one, time starts!"

In the blink of an eye, the six instantly disappeared.

Ten minutes later.

"This Bai Chuyue is really hiding her strength. She knows how to use rocks. It looks like she'll probably be first without any surprises," Mu Cheng felt quite surprised.

Gu Chuyue, who was usually a step slower than others, actually ranked first in points this time.

Although the others also reacted, their strengths were already quite similar, so they couldn't catch up to Gu Chuyue at all.

Another fifty minutes passed, and as expected, there were indeed no surprises.

"Alright, first place is Gu Chuyue, second place is Bai Chen, and third place is Ye Yu. Do you know why you lost?" Mu Cheng asked.

"I didn't fully understand the rules," Gu Churan replied.

Mu Cheng: "That's just one reason. The second is to observe more and think more."

"Alright, the last three of you, go deal with all the zombies!"

The three also had no objections and began to act separately.

"Pick your preferred weapons, quickly!" Mu Cheng remained very serious after distributing the rewards.

Not long after, Bai Chen chose a spear, Ye Yu a saber, and Gu Churan a sword.

"Set all your weapons to a thousand pounds, and then keep practicing on these black gold iron stones," Mu Cheng said, using his Power of Creation.

Soon, six black gold pillars appeared out of thin air before everyone.

"Instructor... are you even human?" Ye Yu was greatly startled.

Bai Chen: "Is this an Ability? It's too abnormal!"

"No, no, no, I remember it's the Su Family's Power of Creation," Gu Churan recognized it at a glance.

Mu Cheng: "Mm-hmm, it's the Power of Creation. Hurry up and practice! If you're hungry or tired, swallow a white crystal."

"Don't worry, eat as much as you want. I'll cover everything during training. As for what you earn by your own skill, you can keep it."

An hour later, the three who had gone to deal with the zombies returned. Mu Cheng didn't hesitate, rewarding them each with ten white crystals.

After repeating the process, he also had them join the training.

Training itself was very monotonous, but fortunately, all six persevered without a single complaint.
