Chapter 10 Five Levels
"How do we usually train? Are we going to fight against Ruin Beasts?"
Xu Shen did not let the topic continue to stay on Sister Li, and instead asked about the main business.
"You don't have to worry about this for now."
Deng Feng smiled and said, "We are just preliminary players. Compared with the Ruin Beast, we are like babies in swaddling clothes. Even the weakest E-level Ruin Beast rated by the higher-ups is very dangerous to us!"
"If you want to get in touch with the Ruins, you have to train for at least five months. When the final assessment is approaching, the coach will arrange for Ruins beasts to serve as sparring partners and give us actual combat. However, they are all E-level Ruins beasts that have been beaten half to death."
At this point, he smiled and said, "Don't underestimate it because it is the weakest Ruin Beast and is half dead. Many people were injured when they first trained with Ruin Beasts, and some were even seriously injured. After all, we can see the Ruins now. You have never seen the appearance of those Ruins... Just standing in front of you makes people's legs tremble."
He shook his head, sighing, and gave Xu Shen a look that said you'll know when the time comes.
Xu Shen caught the message in his words and asked curiously, "So, we have to take the assessment after only five months of training here?"
"No, it's six months." Deng Feng said, "The first five months are for training, and the last month is for preparation for the assessment. If you pass, you will be assigned to become a formal team member."
"What if it didn't pass?"
Deng Feng shrugged slightly: "That means daily assessment until you pass, or..."
He didn't say anything else, but patted Xu Shen on the shoulder and said, "The best way is to try your best to pass. If you fail the first time, I heard that the subsequent assessments are equivalent to actual combat... and there are no veteran team members to lead you, so the situation will only get worse..."
Speaking of this, his expression became slightly solemn.
Xu Shen understood, it seemed that it was impossible to give up.
"How are the assessments and divisions of the Ruin Beasts you just mentioned evaluated and divided?" Xu Shen asked curiously again.
"I don't know how they are evaluated, but as far as I know, there are five levels of Ruin Beasts."
Deng Feng's eyes flashed with a bit of taboo, and he said: "The weakest is the E level just mentioned, followed by the D level, and then the CBA level, but the highest we can usually get in touch with is the C level!"
"C-rank is the ceiling. Once you encounter it, you will either die or get injured. It can only be solved if there is a captain-level figure leading the team and sufficient preparation."
ABCDE... Xu Shen silently memorized the five levels from high to low in his mind, and asked in confusion: "Why is the highest level I can get access to C? What about B and A levels?"
Deng Feng glanced at him unhappily and said, "That's naturally a level that has broken through the ceiling. It's estimated that when we see it, it will be dead. There is no such thing as contact. Even if the captain encounters it, it will probably be in trouble..."
Xu Shen felt secretly awed.
A B-level ruins beast that even the captain can’t deal with?
Then the one in my bedroom... the one in the civil service department, and the one on the lawn earlier... they should all be at least C-level or above, right?
Otherwise, if he appeared in the lair of the Zhanxu personnel without causing any disturbance, it could only mean that the depth of the Xu world he was in had far exceeded the limit that the strongest combat power here could see...
"Don't think too much. For us, even a D-class is a disaster. If we encounter it, we will die."
Deng Feng patted Xu Shen on the shoulder, worried that he would put too much pressure on him, and comforted him:
"But fortunately, our operations of killing ruins usually involve fighting ruin beasts as a team, using the majority to defeat the minority. We will only hunt some E-level ruin beasts at the beginning and gradually increase our practical combat experience. Although there are dangers, as long as we are careful and train well in the training camp, we can still ensure safety."
Xu Shen nodded slowly.
It seems that a level like "Mom" is already very scary.
No wonder it was Captain Chu Bai who led the team personally at that time.
"So what is the main content of our training?"
"You'll know in a moment."
Deng Feng stopped and looked up at the huge building shrouded in a thin mist in front of him.
The fog in this secret place is obviously much thinner than outside, but it still affects the vision.
"arrive."
Deng Feng led Xu Shen into the passage. At the other end of the long and dark passage, bursts of training sounds came from it, becoming clearer and clearer. Inside was a huge training venue.
There are all kinds of strange training equipment in the venue, including six training grounds. One of them has a translucent protective cover, which seems to be used for closed training. However, the floor there is soaked with dark red blood, which seems to have been stained into the stone slabs over the years and cannot be completely cleaned.
now,
Except for the closed training ground, the other four training grounds were filled with figures dressed similarly to Deng Feng. They used uniform swords to fight each other, and the collision made a sound of metal friction.
There was also a training ground where there was no confrontational training, just repetitive sword swinging, chopping and other postures.
Following the edge of the training ground, Deng Feng brought Xu Shen to a viewing tent, where a bald middle-aged man was sitting, leaning back in a chair with his arms folded, his eyes half-closed, as if he was dozing off, or as if he was paying attention to the situation on the field.
"Coach, I brought the new guy."
Deng Feng spoke cautiously, even leaning forward and bending over involuntarily.
The middle-aged man shifted his gaze from the field and glanced at Xu Shen beside Deng Feng. A hint of emptiness flashed across his eyes, but he quickly returned to normal.
"You must be that special newcomer. You are really good."
The middle-aged man stood up with a smile on his face: "I have heard about your situation. Now that you have come into contact with the ruins, there is no turning back. I hope you will work hard. Talents like yours cannot be wasted."
Xu Shen felt that the way the other party looked at him was more like looking at a sharp blade that could kill a ruin beast, and it was of extremely high quality.
"I will try my best, coach." Xu Shen nodded obediently.
"With your conditions, you can only stay here for two months at most, and then you will be transferred to a regular team member. You must be mentally prepared." The smile on the middle-aged man's face slightly restrained, and his expression suddenly looked serious, revealing oppression and deterrence.
Xu Shen was stunned and said, "Two months... can you learn it?"
"As long as you are not stupid and lazy, that's enough."
The middle-aged man said, "The most difficult thing to learn here is how to activate and control the internal force. For others, it takes a month to accumulate a small amount of force before they can sense and activate it. The smart ones can master it in two months, while the stupid ones may need three months."
"But for you, one month is enough. As for training your physique and mastering the Zhanxu technique, these are all trivial matters."
"Once you have mastered the activation of Xu force and your physical fitness has surpassed that of ordinary people, the Xu-slashing technique that others need to practice repeatedly will be easy for you and you will be able to get started easily."
"..."Xu Shen was speechless. What else could he say?
So when they say good embryos, they mean that they can be shipped quickly?
Deng Feng next to him was also speechless. It was true that comparing yourself with others will make you feel nauseous.
However, he did not envy Xu Shen. Although he had to work hard to train and grow, deep down no one wanted to become a regular employee early. After all, that was like dancing on the chopping block.
Of course, except for those few crazy people in the training camp.
"Although you will only be here for two months, don't worry, you will also have what others have, and it will be given to you at the six-month quota."
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "You just opened your eyes today, and your internal energy is restless and you are not used to it yet. Go back and rest first. We will officially gather at 7 o'clock tomorrow morning. Don't be late."
Xu Shen breathed a sigh of relief. He was indeed not yet used to his newly opened "eyes". Sometimes he was not even sure whether his eyes were open or closed.
This kind of trouble occurs when you can see with your eyes closed .
It's like opening your eyes in the dark, but you're not even sure if they're open.
"Goodbye, coach." Xu Shen said goodbye.
The middle-aged man nodded and sat back in his chair. He looked at Deng Feng who was about to send Xu Shen away and glared at him: "Where do you want to go? He already has eyes. Does he still need you to send him off?"
Deng Feng shuddered, quickly smiled, turned around and ran back to his training ground.
…
…
Leave the training ground and return to the dormitory.
The dormitory rooms here are different from those in Wumin House. They are not only equipped with mirrors, but also with lights.
Xu Shen practiced opening and closing his eyes repeatedly in front of the mirror.
It sounds strange that opening your eyes requires practice... but it is true.
When a normal person opens his eyes, his brain sends a signal, just like touching a switch, but he has two switches.
Closing your eyelids is one.
You can still see with your eyelids closed, but choosing to turn off that "seeing" is the second one.
Xu Shen needed to be familiar with the difference between these two senses. After all, most people judge whether a switch is on based on whether there is light in their sight, rather than by sensing the opening and closing of their eyelids.
To Xu Shen, eyes are just decorations, he just can't let this decoration be exposed...
Soon, it was the next day.
Xu Shen went to bed early and got up early last night. He glanced at the clock hanging on the wall of the dormitory... He couldn't understand it.
As a fog dweller, not only can he not read, but he is also unable to understand some common objects in the eyes of normal people.
But Xu Shen had noticed a few days ago that the commotion from trainers in other buildings outside as they went to training happened to be at a certain position on the clock hands.
And now we are close to that location.
This should be 7 o'clock.
Although he didn't understand many things, like other Fog People, Xu Shen's natural lack of security made him extremely careful and perceptive, and he paid special attention and carefulness to things in the outside world.
After quickly washing up, Xu Shen changed into the training uniform that was delivered to the dormitory door last night and went to the training venue.
There are already more than a dozen people here early.
Soon, others came in within just two or three minutes.
Xu Shen counted them and there were 28 people in total.
Does this mean that in just six months, 28 families have encountered the Xushou incident? And this is only the combat department, not including the civilian department.
"I was afraid you would be late, so I went to call you." Deng Feng came over and saw Xu Shen was already in the stadium. He breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Don't be fooled by the coach's smile yesterday. If you are really late, you will be punished."
Feeling the other party's kindness, Xu Shen smiled.
Soon, the coach arrived.
The people who were scattered before quickly gathered together and formed a square.
Deng Feng pulled Xu Shen to his side. When the others saw Xu Shen, they realized that he was a newcomer and didn't say anything. After all, everyone was a rookie when they first arrived.
Under the oppression of the big devil, they all seemed to be huddling together for warmth.
The coach glanced at the entire field, his eyes lingered on Xu Shen for a moment, he nodded slightly, and then said: "As usual, walk around the field ten times to warm up."
"yes."
Everyone said in unison.
The sudden loud sound startled Xu Shen in the team.
"Xu Shen, step out." The coach called to Xu Shen.
"yes."
Xu Shen quickly replied loudly and immediately walked out of the team.
"Xia Jingxiang, come here too." The coach shouted in the other direction.
"Yes." A cold female voice sounded and walked out of the team.
"What are the others standing there for? Is there food on my face?" the coach shouted.
