Armor Guardians

Chapter 46 Nonsensical Training
The next day, before dawn, Ye Ying found Xia Qianmeng fast asleep and, without hesitation, kicked her...

Suddenly struck by this painful blow, Xia Qianmeng was naturally jolted awake. However, just as she was about to get angry at who had ruined her sweet dream, she saw Ye Ying.

Suddenly, Xia Qianmeng snapped back to reality, remembering everything. She had come here yesterday to become an apprentice.

"Master...Master~" Xia Qianmeng said awkwardly to Ye Ying.

"I hope you can be laughing and joking like this later, change into your training clothes, and then come out." After saying this coldly, Ye Ying turned and left.

How could Xia Qianmeng dare disobey her master? So she immediately changed into the black short-sleeved training clothes that she had been using as a pillow.

In the dead of winter, wearing short-sleeved practice clothes, Xia Qianmeng recalled the cold she had experienced before, and those unpleasant memories.

Even so, Xia Qianmeng endured the cold and walked out of the cave, because she was afraid that her master would be unhappy if she was slow.

Upon arriving at the cave entrance, Xia Qianmeng saw Master Ye Ying standing outside. Without hesitation, Ye Ying grabbed Xia Qianmeng's shoulders and, with a few leaps, carried her to the seaside as if flying.

The sea breeze was blowing, and Xia Qianmeng, who had never trained, was shivering from the cold, but she still believed that her master had brought her here for a reason.

Sure enough, seeing Xia Qianmeng like this, Ye Ying picked up a large conch shell from the ground and coldly said to her, "From now on, you will go into the sea and collect 10,000 conches. When you have collected 100,000, I will come to find you automatically. Also, you will be responsible for your own food. Don't ask me why. If you trust me, just do as I say. If you think you can't do it, you can leave, but you have to leave on your own."

Hearing Ye Ying's next words, Xia Qianmeng was speechless. What was going on? Although she could fly after summoning her armor, she didn't know the way to leave.

Even so, Xia Qianmeng had no intention of backing down. If she was afraid as soon as she heard about the mission, what was the point of practicing martial arts? "Yes~" Xia Qianmeng replied to Ye Ying.

"Alright, hurry up and get in the water." After saying that, Ye Ying turned and left, acting nothing like a responsible mentor.

Xia Qianmeng walked closer to the beach, then tested the water with her feet. Ouch, it's cold!
At this moment, Xia Qianmeng was very glad that she could swim; otherwise, she really wouldn't know how to complete this task.

Although the water was a bit cold, Xia Qianmeng was determined. After taking a deep breath, she plunged into the sea...

In this cold winter, Xia Qianmeng was shivering in the shallow water, as if she were winter swimming.

Even so, Xia Qianmeng still had to bend down and even squat down in the water to look for seashells, because she wanted to complete the task as soon as possible.

Gradually, Xia Qianmeng discovered that the deeper the water, the warmer it was, and this feeling gradually drew her to the deeper waters.

So now, Xia Qianmeng has to dive to find seashells. But even so, she hasn't found many seashells yet, still far from the target of 100,000.

After throwing the conch shell in her hand onto the shore, Xia Qianmeng continued diving to find more conch shells. At the same time, she also had to think about what to eat for lunch today; she didn't want to eat those wild fruits again.

On a rocky hill on the island, Ye Ying could see Xia Qianmeng training. Seeing Xia Qianmeng like this, she left with great satisfaction.
