High Martial Arts: First day of dropping out of school, reward: Devouring the Emperor's Body
Chapter 20 Winter City! The Real Battlefield!
That's a real battlefield, where there are exotic beasts and possibly warriors from enemy countries.
Generally speaking, there is no precedent in military history for recruits to go to the battlefield during their basic training period.
Even veterans who have completed their basic training period will have to undergo a period of military training before entering the battlefield.
This period is about six months, and most new recruits will not go to the battlefield until six months later.
The martial artists at the Martial Arts University will not actually come into contact with alien beasts until after graduation!
To the average new recruit, they would probably be scared half to death.
But it was different for Li Mo.
Li Mo felt no fear whatsoever; in fact, he was somewhat excited.
Because one of the fastest ways for him to obtain Devouring Points is by killing alien beasts.
According to the system, killing alien beasts yields the most Devouring Points.
However, apart from the front-line battlefield, there was practically no place in the entire Great Xia where strange beasts could appear.
The strange beasts within the Great Xia territory were mostly tamed in the last three hundred years, and killing them would not yield any Devouring Points.
Therefore, what might be a life-or-death crisis for others was an invaluable opportunity for Li Mo.
Simply killing virtual robots is too slow.
Fighting from morning till night every day might not be as effective as an hour on the front lines.
Once a talent reaches S-rank, the number of Devouring Points required for each level increase becomes astronomical.
Thinking of this, Li Mo asked Zhang Ruxue, "Company Commander, the selection of personnel for our battalion's combat test has been decided."
Zhang Ruxue laughed and said, "Is there even a need to choose? The regulations stipulate that each recruit battalion can only send three people for this combat assessment. Besides you, Zheng Jiahao, and Xu Feng, who else do you think can participate in this assessment?"
In the entire recruit camp, only the three people in Li Mo's dormitory were far ahead of the others. The rest of the recruits were at most at the fifth level of the Hidden Edge Realm, so of course they were not suitable.
At this moment, Zhang Ruxue said, "The three of you don't need to participate in basic training for the next few days. Instead, prepare for this combat test."
"Let me remind you, although this is a test, you're going to be on a real battlefield. If something unexpected happens, you might not get timely rescue. You know what I mean?"
Li Mo nodded heavily. Zhang Ruxue's meaning was simple: they might die!
On the battlefield, people are bound to die.
Li Mo had already prepared himself for this.
Moreover, his two roommates, Xu Feng and Xu Feng, were both reckless and impulsive.
Zheng Jiahao was someone who wanted to be constantly on the verge of life and death; he was a monster who loved seeking thrills.
……
In the following days, the three of them did not participate in basic training, but instead worked out their talents and fighting styles.
This practical assessment will involve three people from each recruit camp, forming a squad. The assessment will be conducted on a squad-by-squad basis, and the final results will be based on the squad's performance.
Therefore, the three of them need to work together for a while before they can operate more effectively on the battlefield.
Li Mo, with his balanced offensive and defensive skills, is clearly the most suitable to be the team leader and to command the other two from the center.
Zheng Jiahao is extremely agile and, due to his innate danger perception, is best suited to be the vanguard of the team. He is the most suitable person to be assigned tasks such as scouting or reconnaissance.
Xu Feng's task was much simpler: one word—reckless!
Even with Xu Feng's brains, he couldn't complete a high-difficulty task, so the best thing to do is just do it!
Li Mo's analysis was almost entirely correct, convincing Zheng Jiahao and Xu Feng that Li Mo was indeed their captain.
"Captain! Just tell me who you want to beat when the time comes! I, Lao Xu, have no other abilities, I just like to fight!"
Xu Feng smiled sheepishly, his expression sincere.
Zheng Jiahao and Li Mo exchanged a glance and nodded in unison.
It's clear that Zheng Jiahao and Li Mo are the ones who need to worry about offering advice and strategies.
At this moment, Zheng Jiahao suddenly said, "Li Mo, we've been training together for so many days now, we should have developed some understanding by now."
"I've been thinking, our squad doesn't have a name yet. What are we supposed to call ourselves when we get to the actual battlefield?"
Li Mo was taken aback when he heard this. He had been working with the two of them to refine their talents, skills, and combat techniques, and hadn't thought about the team's name.
Upon closer reflection, Zheng Jiahao's words made sense. If the team didn't have a name, Zhang Ruxue wouldn't be able to report it to her superiors.
Fortunately, Zheng Jiahao had already thought of this, so he said, "Since you haven't decided yet, why don't you try the name I suggested? How about 'Silent Whisper Team'?"
It's obvious that Li Mo is the leader of this team, so Zheng Jiahao named his son after Li Mo.
None of the three seemed to care much about this, so Li Mo nodded and said, "Okay! Let's call it the Silent Whisper Squad then."
Coincidentally, the practical assessment officially began the day after the three of them came up with their names.
Since the front-line battlefield was still some distance from the recruit camp, the three of them had to take a train to the front line.
"Go, Silent Whisper Team!"
"You are the hope of our recruit camp, so don't let us down!"
"We absolutely have to come back in first place and make us all proud!"
Under the expectant gazes of everyone, the three traveled hundreds of miles by train and finally arrived at the front-line battlefield.
As soon as they arrived at the front of the battlefield, it was as if the atmosphere had changed, and even the sky had become gloomy.
The soldiers here were different from the veterans or instructors Li Mo had met in the recruit camp. They all exuded a chilling aura that made people feel intimidated.
"Name?"
"Li Mo".
"Another batch of new recruits here for combat training? Ha, I don't know what the higher-ups are thinking. Sending a month-old recruit to the front lines, do they really think the monsters here are all vegetarians?"
The veterans on the front lines naturally looked down on new recruits like Li Mo.
However, Li Mo didn't care; he believed that everything would be decided by strength.
If you can't kill the enemy on the battlefield, no amount of arguing will help.
After the veteran who had guided them registered Li Mo and the other two, he led them to a high-end conference hall in the city.
It's worth mentioning that the city they are currently in is called Winter City, which is the closest city to the front lines.
There are no ordinary civilians in this city, only martial artists and soldiers.
This is also the only supply depot of the Great Xia Alliance within a few thousand kilometers.
Once you leave this city, you'll either find yourself overrun by strange beasts or in the territory of an enemy nation.
Upon arriving at the conference hall, Li Mo found that there were already quite a few people inside.
These people, like them, are all elite recruits who came to participate in this practical assessment.
Li Mo only glanced around briefly before discovering that many of the people there were quite powerful, a veritable den of hidden talents.
There are no fewer than ten people at the ninth rank of the Hidden Edge Realm alone!
