"Alright, alright." An Changqing walked in front, glanced back at the two bickering, and smiled slightly.

After the statement was taken, the group walked out of the administration building, where a cold wind blew in, carrying the dryness characteristic of the North.

The sky had darkened, and the college's streetlights shone with a dim yellow light in the wind and snow, illuminating the snow-covered lawns and bare tree branches on both sides.

The streetlights cast long shadows of the group.

……

The remaining time passed quickly.

The closing ceremony of the training camp arrived in the blink of an eye.

The main training ground of the First Academy of the Northern Territory was temporarily transformed into a ceremony venue, and the viewing platform was filled with instructors leading the teams, but the White Tiger was still not there.

After that day, Chen Guan never saw Bai Hu again. Although he didn't miss him, he still felt strangely unaccustomed to the absence of Bai Hu in his life for so long.

Under the gray sky, the remaining dozen or so trainees stood in neat rows.

As Black Crow said at the beginning, the elimination rate was frighteningly high.

It is worth mentioning that Liu Feiyu left the camp midway without saying goodbye. Chen Guan was never sure what this person was thinking, but he didn't pay much attention to it.

Chen Guan stood at the end of the line, the coffin on his back casting a long shadow in the morning light.

The host on stage was none other than the familiar Black Crow, whose voice was amplified throughout the entire training ground.

"The assessments for the first-tier training camp have all concluded."

"The results were compiled and approved by the First Academy of the North. The final rankings have been confirmed after a comprehensive calculation based on four factors: wilderness survival, combat, teamwork, and bonus points for special contributions."

The drill ground fell silent.

A group of young people stood in the cold wind. Some were rubbing their hands, some were standing on tiptoe to look at the stage, and some had indifferent expressions, as if they didn't care about the rankings at all.

Yin Chen stood not far from the coffin, his hands in his pockets, and muttered to himself, "Why does this feel like the release of college entrance exam results?"

Hong Yuan stepped on his heel and leaned closer: "What are you nervous about? You're definitely not going to be in the top three anyway."

"Thank you for not being optimistic." Yin Chen rolled his eyes at her but didn't refute her.

He himself knew that he wasn't in the top three.

An Changqing stood in the front row, his gaze fixed on the podium, and did not participate in the idle chatter of the two people behind him.

He was not far from Su Yuehe, with three or four people between them. Their eyes occasionally met, and they nodded to each other.

Black Crow on the stage opened the roster in his hand.

"The overall ranking of the first sequence will be read out starting from the last place."

One name after another was read out.

Fifth place: Long Ao.

Long Ao stood in the queue without even lifting his eyelids.

Yin Chen glanced back at him and whispered, "Long Ao, at least give us some reaction. You're in the top five, after all."

Long Ao remained silent, remaining fifth.

Hongyuan answered for him: "They don't care."

Fourth place: Yin Chen.

Yin Chen touched his nose, his expression remaining relatively calm.

"Third place, Su Yuehe."

Su Yuehe nodded slightly, her face showing a mixture of surprise and joy.

She glanced at An Changqing in the front row, and An Changqing turned around and smiled at her.

Hong Yuan tilted her head: "Third place in the fourth tier, Su Yuehe is really amazing."

"Teamwork and special contributions get more points," Su Yuehe explained softly after hearing this.

"Also, I'm at level five."

Red Iris froze instantly.

"When did this happen?!"

"It will happen naturally."

Black Crow on the stage continued, not giving Red Kite a chance to ask further questions.

"Second place, An Changqing."

An Changqing, who was standing quietly in the front row, did not make any movement, but simply nodded slightly as a response.

There is one spot left.

The allocation of this spot is beyond doubt.

The black crow on the stage closed the roster in his hand.

His gaze swept from the front of the line to the back, finally settling on the young man carrying the coffin.

After a short pause.

Perhaps it was because of the strong wind, but the drill ground suddenly became unusually quiet.

"Ranked first in the overall ranking of the First Sequence Training Camp".

The crow's call traveled steadily through the cold wind and reached the ears of everyone present.

"Chen's coffin!"

No one was surprised.

Chen Guan got full marks in all categories, who would be surprised?

At first, people only paid attention to him because of his unconventional appearance, but now he has won everyone's respect with his strength.

Chen Guan stood still, the coffin on his back still conspicuous. The cold wind lifted the corner of his clothes, but he didn't even blink.

Yin Chen turned her head and glanced at him, her lips twitching. She whispered to Hong Yuan beside her, "Look at him, it's like he's not even reading about himself."

Hong Yuan, however, surprisingly did not respond.

It's not an act; this person genuinely doesn't care, unlike some others who always get arrogant when praised.

"The specific score for the first place winner will be posted on the bulletin board in the administration building later."

The crow's voice rang out again, drawing everyone's attention back to the stage.

"This first-sequence training camp is now closed. The teleportation array will open in half an hour, and you may leave on your own today."

After he finished speaking, the instructors on the stage stood up one after another.

People started clapping, the sparse applause spreading through the wind and snow, then growing louder and louder.

An Changqing, who was standing in the front row, turned around first and nodded slightly in the direction of Chen Guan. His eyes showed a calmness that was not surprising, as well as something else that was hard to describe.

Su Yuehe also clapped along, the sound of her palms clapping softly, but her expression showed genuine joy.

Long Ao stood in the middle of the line, his hands in his pockets, and didn't look back once he started.

But his lips twitched slightly.

The amplitude was very small and fleeting.

After the closing ceremony, the ranks on the parade ground dispersed, and the crowd began to disperse in all directions.

Yin Chen caught up from behind, with the husky's front paws draped over his shoulder, and the two walked in surprisingly unison.

"Chen Guan, wait a moment."

Chen Guan stopped in his tracks.

Yin Chen walked up to him with his signature smile on his face, but with a more serious expression than usual.
