"You call this food?" a girl in a lace dress screamed. The plate in her hand fell to the ground, and the rice and soup spilled all over the floor. "Our Shen family's dog eats better than this!"

"That's right!" Another girl wearing a pearl hairpin also pushed her plate away. "This kind of pig food, is it worthy of us to eat it?"

The cafeteria fell silent instantly. The workers looked at the food on the ground silently with complicated expressions.

"You guys!" Suddenly, a loud voice broke the silence. Ah Lan stood up suddenly, his bronze face flushed with anger: "Do you know what's going on outside now?"

"That's right!" Hong'er also stood up. "After the end of the world, every grain of food is exchanged for life! When my father was looking for food outside..." Her voice choked.

Xiaoxue gently pulled the corner of Alan's clothes: "Last month, in our village, a family of five could only share one steamed bun..."

"Humph, that's your business!" The girl in the lace skirt pouted, "We have everything in our protective shield!"

"enough!"

A cold voice sounded. Wang Yuxin appeared at the entrance of the cafeteria without knowing when. She took off her glasses, her eyes sharp as a knife: "Here, there are no nobles, no commoners, only contestants. If you don't even have the most basic sense of gratitude, you don't deserve to participate in the selection."

"You... who do you think you are!" The girl with the pearl hairpin was furious. "I'm going to tell Master Zhang Chen..."

"Don't bother telling me."

Zhang Chen's voice suddenly rang out in the cafeteria. He stood in the corridor on the second floor, looking down at everything: "Those who waste food will be disqualified immediately."

The girl in the lace skirt and the girl with the pearl hairpin turned pale and stumbled out of the cafeteria.

"Here, kid." The old man took half of the rice from his plate and handed it to the little boy who didn't get to eat the roast suckling pig. "Although it's not roast suckling pig, it's also food. You should cherish it."

The little boy took the food, his eyes sparkling.

"Tomorrow's selection," Zhang Chen's voice sounded again, "will not only look at strength, but also character. Remember, in this end times, what we need most are people who know how to be grateful and united."

There was applause in the cafeteria. The workers sat down again, sharing a simple dinner with the contestants, chatting about what they had seen and heard today, and looking forward to tomorrow's selection.

In the corner, Wang Yuxin watched all this silently, with a faint smile on her lips.

Suddenly a scream was heard in the contestants' dormitory building late at night.

"My jade pendant is missing!" Mo Qingcheng stood in the middle of the corridor and shouted hysterically, "That is our Mo family's heirloom, it is priceless!"

Soon, the corridor was filled with girls in pajamas. The girls in the eight-person room rubbed their sleepy eyes and watched this late-night farce.

"You must have stolen it!" Mo Qingcheng pointed at the civilian girls who lived across the street, "People like you can't even walk when you see something valuable!"

"What did you say?" Alan took a step forward, "Watch your words!"

At this moment, Qiao Na appeared elegantly at the end of the corridor. She was wearing a moon-white dress, her long hair was casually tied up, and she was holding a thick ancient book in her hand.

"What's going on?" Her voice was not loud, but it made everyone quiet down.

"Teacher Qiao Na!" Mo Qingcheng rushed over immediately, tears welling up in her eyes, "My jade pendant is missing. They must have stolen it! It's a token that proves my identity!"

"Oh?" Qiao Na raised her eyebrows, "Why are you so sure it's them?"

"Who else could it be?" Mo Qingcheng sneered, "With their backgrounds, they will definitely be jealous of my things!"

"Bullshit!" Hong'er couldn't help but swear, "Although we are poor, we still have dignity!"

"Yes!" Xiao Lin also said angrily, "We don't want your broken jade pendant!"

Qiao Na knocked on the wall gently, signaling everyone to be quiet: "Ms. Mo, when did your jade pendant disappear?"

"Just...just after dinner..."

"After dinner?" Qiao Na's eyes flashed, "Weren't you causing trouble in the cafeteria at that time?"

Mo Qingcheng's face suddenly turned pale.

"Let me guess," Jonah continued, "did you deliberately stage this theft to frame these civilian girls?"

"me..."

"Do you think Lord Zhang Chen only looks at family background when selecting maids?" Qiao Na's voice suddenly turned cold. "Those with corrupt morals will never be qualified to stand by his side."

"However," Qiao Na changed the subject, a mysterious smile appeared on her lips, "your jade pendant is indeed with me."

She took out an emerald green jade pendant from her sleeve.

"This..." Mo Qingcheng was so surprised that she was speechless.

"This jade pendant was mixed in with the food you threw away," Qiao Na said. "It seems that you don't even know how to cherish your own heirloom."

There was a chuckle in the corridor.

"Okay," Jonah looked around, "Let's all go back to bed. Remember, here, we value a person's character, not her background."

The girls dispersed in twos and threes. Only Wang Yuxin remained standing in the shadows, thinking: "Interesting... I'm afraid these little tricks can't escape the eyes of Teacher Qiao Na."

The next morning, Mo Qingcheng's name appeared on the list of withdrawals.

It is said that she applied for it on her own initiative.

In the private discussions among the contestants, they all said that Qiao Na was not only Zhang Chen’s girlfriend, but also an unfathomable master.

At the training ground in the evening, several girls gathered in a corner and whispered.

"Have you heard? Lord Zhang Chen's treatment is the best in the entire apocalypse!" A girl with dyed red hair said excitedly, "Not only do his maids have their own suites, they can also enjoy special food!"

"That's right!" another girl with twin ponytails answered, "When I fled from Area B, I saw that all his girlfriends were wearing gold and silver. They looked even more glamorous than the celebrities before the apocalypse!"

"Hush..." A girl with delicate makeup lowered her voice, "I heard that if you can become Lord Zhang Chen's woman, you can not only enjoy the highest level of protection, but also let your whole family live a good life!"

"Really?" Several girls' eyes lit up.

Suddenly, a sneer interrupted their conversation.

"Innocent."

Wang Yuxin leaned against the fence of the training ground, and the look behind her glasses was somewhat sarcastic: "Who do you think Mr. Zhang Chen is? An upstart who can be easily attached to?"

Chapter 742 Forbidden Technique

"You...what do you mean?" The red-haired girl was a little annoyed.

At this moment, a violent explosion sounded from a distance. Several girls screamed in fear, but Wang Yuxin showed a meaningful smile.

At the other end of the training ground, Jonah was sparring with two other women.

Their movements were as fast as lightning and their momentum was as powerful as a rainbow.

Jonah's water ability wove a deadly web in the air, and her opponent was a woman in a fiery red battle robe, condensing dazzling flames, and another who controlled violent lightning.

"That's..." The girl with twin ponytails widened her eyes.

"Mr. Zhang Chen's girlfriends." Wang Yuxin pushed up her glasses, "Each of them is a warrior who crawled back from the brink of death.

Before the end of the world, Qiao Na was an international physicist, Su Yan in a fiery red battle robe was once the spearhead of the special forces, and the lightning-type mutant Dian Lei single-handedly repelled the entire zombie horde in the defense of Area C. "

Several girls were speechless.

"Master Zhang Chen doesn't need a vase," Wang Yuxin continued, "He needs a warrior who can fight alongside him. Do you think you can win his favor with a pretty face and so-called 'scheming'?" She sneered, "How naive."

In the distance, the three women had finished their sparring. They came over, talking and laughing, and although they had traces of battle on their bodies, they looked heroic.

"How is it?" Qiao Na asked Wang Yuxin with a smile, "Did you figure out what's going on?"

Wang Yuxin nodded seriously: "So this is the real power."

"Smart." Su Yan patted her shoulder, "Remember, in the end times, the most important thing is not to depend on someone, but to make yourself strong enough to protect the people you want to protect."

Chu Lei also spoke up: "What Zhang Chen values ​​is never appearance or family background, but a person's character and strength."

Several girls who wanted to take advantage of the situation lowered their heads in shame.

They finally understood that in this cruel apocalypse, the true value lies not in relying on the strong, but in becoming the strong.

On the high ground of the training ground, Zhang Chen watched all this silently, with a gratified smile on his face. In his vision, this academy should not only cultivate excellent superpowers, but also cultivate people who truly understand the meaning of power.

"It seems," he said softly, "this year's selection will be very interesting."

"The one-on-one elimination match starts now!" Zhang Chen's voice echoed over the training ground.

The first match was between Lin Xiaoyue, a fire-type supernatural, and Tian Tian, ​​an earth-type supernatural. The two girls stood at the two ends of the ring, with some hesitation in their eyes.

"start!"

As the signal sounded, Lin Xiaoyue hesitantly condensed a ball of fire, but the power was obviously suppressed. The fireball flew towards the opponent softly, not even burning the air.

Tian Tian was also merciful and just put up a thin earth wall as a defense. The two of them fought back and forth, but it seemed like they were acting.

“That won’t work.” Qiao Na frowned, “The end of the world won’t show mercy to them.”

Zhang Chen nodded: "Let them see what a real battle is."

"Honglian!" he suddenly shouted, "Release your supernatural power!"

Honglian, who was standing at the sidelines, understood and suddenly released a violent flame. The scorching heat instantly enveloped the entire training ground, and the air began to distort.

"Did you see that?" Zhang Chen's voice turned stern. "This is the threat you will face on a real battlefield! If you don't even have the courage to fight with all your strength, how can you talk about protecting others?"

The two girls on the field were stunned. They finally understood that this was not a performance, but a real selection.

"I'm sorry," Lin Xiaoyue took a deep breath and looked at Tian Tian, ​​"I'm going to be serious now."

"Come on!" Tian Tian also took a fighting stance.

The next second, Lin Xiaoyue's flames surged, forming a roaring fire dragon. Tian Tian was not to be outdone, and pressed down with both hands, and a thick earth wall rose from the ground.

"boom!"

The fire dragon hit the earth wall, creating a shower of sparks.

Tian Tian took this opportunity to control the broken rocks and counterattack. Lin Xiaoyue dodged nimbly and drew a flaming arc in the air.

"That's right!" Joanna smiled with satisfaction.

The battle became more intense, and both girls showed their true skills. Fire and earth waves intertwined, and the ring was filled with smoke and dust. There was no hesitation in their eyes, but the determination of warriors.

"Time's up!" Zhang Chen announced, "Lin Xiaoyue wins!"

Both girls were out of breath, but with relieved smiles on their faces. They understood that this battle was not only a test of strength, but also a breakthrough of the heart.

"Remember the feeling today," Zhang Chen said to all the contestants, "In the end times, mercy must be based on great strength. Only the truly strong are qualified to talk about mercy."

The contestants in the audience seemed to be thinking about something.

In the following games, no one held back.

Ice element versus lightning element, wind element versus water element... every match is exciting, and the light of supernatural power illuminates the entire training ground.

In the corner, Wang Yuxin silently recorded the details of every game, with wisdom flashing in her eyes.

She knew that these battles were not only a test of strength, but also a test of character.

When night falls and the contestants return to the dormitories, their eyes have become different. There, the fire of a warrior burns.

In the seventh match, the water-type psychic Su Yue faced off against the dark-type psychic Ye Liuli.

"start!"

As the signal sounded, Su Yue immediately condensed several water arrows. However, Ye Liuli stood there motionless, with a strange smile on his face.

"What? You don't dare to take action?" Su Yue sneered.

Ye Liuli slowly raised her hand, and black mist flowed out from her fingertips: "Do you know what the most terrifying thing about dark powers is?"

"what?"

"It is what makes people...unable to see death coming."

Before he finished his words, black fog suddenly surged and instantly enveloped the entire arena.

There was a cry of surprise from the audience. This was not ordinary darkness, but an abyss that could swallow up all light.

"Stop!" Qiao Na stood up suddenly, "This is a forbidden technique!"

But it was too late. In the dark fog, Su Yue's screams were heard. When the black fog dissipated, everyone gasped.

Su Yue fell to the ground, her face as pale as paper, black blood oozing from the corners of her mouth. Her life force was rapidly draining away.

"You...what did you do to me?" Su Yue said with difficulty.

"Dark Soul Devourer." Ye Liuli said softly, with a hint of madness in his eyes, "A forbidden technique that can directly attack the soul. Your life will be completely lost within three minutes."

"enough!"

Zhang Chen appeared on the ring in an instant, with golden runes shining in his hands.
