Chapter 045: College Hunting Competition Begins
The three of them came to Su Dong's office and sat down. Su Dong didn't say anything for a long time, just staring at Shen Zheng, which made Shen Zheng a little nervous.
"Director Su, why are you looking at me like this?" Shen Zheng couldn't help it after being stared at for a long time.
"Appreciate." Su Dong said slowly.
"Appreciate?"
"Appreciate the artwork." Su Dong smiled, then shook his head and sighed. "You are the artwork created by God himself! Beautiful, so beautiful! How can there be such a genius in this world?" [
"I really didn't expect that half a month of training could actually increase a person's insect power by 10 points." Lei Che looked at Shen Zheng, "This teaching result can be said to be unprecedented. I really think I am the happiest mentor in the world."
"It's mainly because of the good students." Su Dong added.
"Yes, it's the good students." Lei Che smiled.
Shen Zheng was a little embarrassed by the praise, and didn't know what to say, so he simply said nothing.
"I've decided." Su Dong looked at Shen Zheng and smiled faintly. "We will send you to participate in the new level of deep cave competition in the annual college hunting competition held in a week."
"College hunting competition? What is that?" Shen Zheng didn't quite understand.
"The annual college ceremony." Lei Che said, "The content of the competition is to hunt the target insects in the underground insect caves where the college raises insects. The winning students will receive a special reward from the college: an insect core prepared by the dean himself."
Whether it is insect eggs used for insect planting or various combat insects used for students to train, it is impossible to wait for the insect tide to come and catch them. In the two thousand years of insect technology civilization, the humans of White Wolf Star have learned to raise insects, with the purpose of extracting insect eggs for insect planting; studying the characteristics of insects to develop insect bionics; obtaining insect shells and useful organs... and so on.
Like the Wolf Fang Corps, they also have their own small underground insect caves. As the highest military academy in a country, the Osmoky Star Academy naturally has a very large underground insect cave. The so-called deep cave is the deepest cave in the underground insect cave where extremely powerful insects are raised. Shen Zheng had heard Lei Che talk about this before.
The insect cores modulated by the modulation masters are an extremely tempting reward.
The insect core is the life essence of high-level insects, and the insect spirit is generated after the evolution of extremely high-level insect cores. Lei Che told Shen Zheng a long time ago that those super strong people can even make ordinary insect cores evolve into insect spirits through modulation.
The dean of the Osmoky Star Academy is one of the only two insect controllers in the Osmoky Star Country. It is conceivable what kind of function the insect core he modulates will have. Even if it is not an insect spirit, it will at least be a treasure that can greatly enhance the insect power.
Doubtfully, this kind of thing is definitely the target of everyone's competition.
Shen Zheng's eyes also flashed with yearning.
Although his insect power is growing in a "leap" way, he himself dare not guarantee that this growth will continue until he can break through the 90 mark, or even reach the perfect 100. What if this growth stops one day?
Then he will always be an excellent officer and a leader among insect planters.
But he will never have the opportunity to touch the peak of power again.
But if he has an insect core that can greatly improve human insect power, it will be different. In that case, maybe he can directly hit the 100 mark after his insect power reaches more than 90, and maybe he will become an insect controller directly if he is lucky.
It's too tempting. [
"Thank you, Director Su!" He couldn't help but stand up and saluted Su Dong.
"That insect core should belong to you, and must belong to you!" Su Dong's eyes flashed with excitement, "Although you are still a planter with only 89 insect power, you have mastered the insect power control method that only insect controllers know. I think you have great hope of becoming an insect controller. If our country of Longxing can have another insect controller, the overall national strength will be greatly improved, and its international status will reach a new level. For this hope, I must fully support you!"
"Don't worry about participating in the competition." Lei Che said with a smile, "No one will be your opponent. Except for a student in the second grade who has reached 90 insect power, the strongest of the others is only 89. As long as you don't underestimate the enemy, then the insect core will definitely be yours."
"Don't worry." Shen Zheng nodded vigorously.
After that night, Su Dong never asked Shen Zheng to participate in patrols again, and after that night, the mysterious thieves group was silent again, as if the death that night scared them and made them never dare to come here again. But both students and instructors knew that behind the calm there might be a bigger storm brewing, so no one dared to relax.
A week passed quickly. During this week, Shen Zheng still trained and studied with Lei Che seriously every day as before. Both theoretical and practical skills were raised to a new level again.
On this day, everyone in Longxing Academy was busy. A war-like atmosphere spread among all levels, and the radio in the academy also began to promote, encouraging students at all levels to perform at their best level in tomorrow's hunting competition and strive to win the first place that everyone is paying attention to.
In this tense atmosphere, the students of Longxing Academy welcomed the dawn of the second day, and the Academy Hunting Competition officially began.
Early in the morning, all the students of Longxing Academy gathered in the largest parade ground in the academy. More than 2,000 people stood in the parade ground, but there was no sound. Everyone stood straight, as if a spear was inserted into the depths of the earth, showing excellent military qualities.
The sun slowly climbed up, and on the parade stand in front of the tall building above the parade ground, a resolute old man in military uniform walked up slowly. Shen Zheng stood in the team and looked up, recognizing that this was the highest authority in Longxing Academy besides the dean, and also the strongest warrior besides the dean - the director of teaching Chu Tianran, whose insect power value reached 100 and could break through the insect planter boundary at any time and evolve into an insect controller.
The dean, who was admired and admired by the mathematicians, swept the whole audience with a majestic gaze, and then slowly said: "Dear students, the annual college hunting competition has begun again. Are you ready?"
"Ready!" Led by the senior students, more than 2,000 students answered almost in unison.
"The past of mankind has been destroyed by insects; the future of mankind, however, begins with insects." Chu Tianran said loudly, and the loud voice did not need any amplification equipment to be amplified, enough to be heard far away, so that everyone present could hear it clearly. "In the insect tide, humans are as fragile as a small boat in the raging sea, but when we can control the raging waves, this world will definitely be ours! Looking at the present, although we are far away from our ancient hometown, the current White Wolf Star civilization is no longer afraid of the invasion of insect tides! But we must not be careless because of this. You know, insects are the strongest race in the universe, and we humans can only survive in this universe if we try our best to make ourselves always superior to them! Do you have confidence?"
"Yes!" Everyone said in unison, shaking the sky.
"I wish you good results in this competition." Chu Tianran nodded slowly, "I declare that the college hunting competition begins!"
As soon as the voice fell, the students who had been silent and serious all the time burst into a huge cheer.
Chu Tianran smiled at this time, waved his hand gently, and walked down the reviewing stand.
The five grade directors came to the grade teams they were responsible for at this time, and directed the mentors to start grouping. The college hunting competition of Longxing College is an annual ceremony participated by all members, but full participation does not mean that everyone has the opportunity to win the championship.
The real champion will appear in the deep cave competition.
The cave of Longxing College is divided into two parts: shallow cave and deep cave. Ordinary students go to shallow cave for hunting competition. There is no limit on the number of participants, and there are also many places for various awards. Only elite students who have obtained the same results from mentors and grade directors at all levels are eligible to enter the deep cave for hunting competition.
It can be said that the deep cave competition is the highlight of the college hunting competition. Although there are only five participants, its importance is far higher than the shallow cave competition with thousands of people rushing to participate.
The prizes for the Deep Cave Competition are the insect cores prepared by the dean himself, which are even more exciting. [
So the students who participated in the Shallow Cave Competition knew that they were just the stars in this competition, but this did not hinder their competitive spirit, because they all knew that the elites of the Deep Cave Competition were not at the same level as them, so they would not compare with them. As long as they won the first place among people at the same level, it would be a great honor.
Just as the Longxing Academy was preparing for the competition, a group of black-clothed people had quietly closed the distance with Longxing Academy. They lurked in the dense forest outside the academy, staring at the fortress-like city.
"Are we really going to do it in the daytime?" A black-clothed man asked the leader.
"Today is the annual college hunting competition of Longxing Academy." The leader said, "All students will participate in the competition, and the instructors will help organize the competition. This is the time when their defense is the most empty and vulnerable. If not now, when will we start?"
"But the superiors clearly told us that their dean will rush back during the hunting competition." The man in black said uneasily, "So they asked us to stop all actions..."
"The superiors? The superiors are completely right?" The leader snorted, "Except for today, Longxing Academy has no more defensive loopholes for us to exploit. Such a great opportunity cannot be missed. Besides, didn't the insider we planted send a message saying that their dean has not returned yet?"
"I understand." The man in black nodded. "It is indeed a great opportunity."
"Insider?" At this moment, an old voice suddenly sounded behind them, startling them and shivering violently.
"Who?" The black-clothed people turned their heads immediately, with insect breath surging all over their bodies, looking as if they were facing a great enemy.
They immediately discovered that behind their team of more than 40 people, on the grass in the woods, stood a kind-looking old man. The old man was not tall, only about 1.65 meters, with a bald head and a round face. He had a kind smile on his face and wore an ordinary casual suit. He looked like an ordinary old man who had just returned home from working out in the park.
But the more than 40 men in black were all as if they were facing a great enemy. Everyone was alert and mobilized the insect breath all over their body.
Because the old man came too suddenly, there was no sound, and none of the forty-odd masters noticed how he came close.
"Tell me, who is your insider?" The old man looked at them and smiled kindly.
"Who are you?" A man in black asked in a low voice, and the others were on full alert.
"Tell me who the insider is." The old man continued to ask.
"Do it!" At this time, the leader who had already winked at the black-clothed men around him suddenly whispered, and before he finished speaking, he and the six black-clothed men around him suddenly rushed towards the old man. Two people jumped into the air and fired hundreds of lances in succession; two people made a detour from the side and shot dozens of moon blades at the old man; two people rushed forward quickly with the leader, and the insect breath blades on their arms flashed with cold light, wiping the old man's head, neck and torso.
The old man stood motionless, as if all these attacks were so insignificant in his eyes.
Suddenly, he moved.
