Chapter 10, no need to wait
On the high platform, there was also a corpse. Shentu inserted a hook into the chest of the corpse, then pulled it up, and used a sharp knife to slice open a thin layer of the corpse's skin.
Two fierce guards seized the little girl as if they were picking up a chick, regardless of her cries and struggles
Qian Ye suddenly understood what Shen Tu meant by "tidying up." At that moment, he felt Shen Tu's gaze fixed intently on him.
Shentu paused his actions and quietly watched the girl who was vomiting uncontrollably. All the children in the classroom were also watching, and for a moment, there was an overwhelming silence.
A sudden muffled bang echoed in the bedroom, causing most of the children to wake up immediately, with many instinctively leaping out of bed.
The children were all taken aback; this was the familiar countdown timer! They knew that whoever had not made a move by the end of the countdown would face punishment. The punishment from Shentu might be even more severe than that from Zhang Jing
Such a monotonous cycle has repeated an unknown number of times, when suddenly, after a wave of Force tidal impact has ended, the surging Force did not completely subside; instead, after a brief retreat, it suddenly surged up again with a new wave!
A faint sound of breathing has already begun to echo in the bedroom, and most of the children have fallen into a deep sleep, yet Qianye cannot seem to fall asleep no matter what.
It is said that when the third wave of the Force tide is generated, it is time to break through the abdominal node
Qian Ye stopped her actions, returned to her own bed, nonchalantly pulled the blanket over her head, and continued to sleep soundly
In this hell, opportunities often come only once; if not seized, they will be lost. There is no time to wait here
This is a successful beginning. As Qianye accumulates more primordial energy, the second wave of primordial energy tides will also emerge, followed by the third and fourth waves. The more consecutive primordial energy tides that are generated, the stronger the cumulative power becomes, resulting in a greater impact on the primordial energy barrier.
Then, Shentu discussed his classroom records. It is quite simple: complete the tasks within the stipulated time, and... No spitting allowed
During the process of the tidal impact at the internal Force nodes, the external resonating Force continuously replenished the energy consumed by Qianye. In this way, his Force gradually increased
At that moment, a child on the adjacent bed suddenly turned over, opened their eyes, and saw Qianye's actions
However, this time the instructor was replaced by a thin, bald old man with an unfamiliar face. He had a pair of murky gray eyes. When his gaze swept over, Qian Ye suddenly felt as if he were being seen through inside and out, and he immediately shivered
Qian Ye exchanged a glance with him, and the child immediately shivered, hurriedly turned back, and continued to sleep, pretending as if he had seen nothing.
Qian Ye closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, he was already fully awake. Someone was waiting for him, and someone had made him a promise. He now understood the significance of the surname 'Lin.' However, everything must wait until he walks out of this hell to be realized
Qian Ye relentlessly beat Chen Lei, yet his breathing remained almost unchanged, and even his expression showed little variation, as if he were engaged in a trivial task. Each muffled sound resonated like a hammer striking the heart of every child.
Next is a martial arts class followed by a biology structure class
As the night deepened, he gradually became immersed in it, even the strange fragrance of 'Crimson Blood' faded beyond the realm of his senses. It was as if he had merged with the waves of the Force, soaring high, crashing violently against the barrier like real tumultuous waves, then shattering, transforming into droplets of Force like scattered pearls and jade.
Chen Lei finally became still, with only his body instinctively twitching
The Underworld Training Camp is indeed hellish, and Qian Ye is unaware of how much longer he can endure. However, he knows that if he can persist, certain aspects of himself will inevitably be transformed over time
As everyone rushed towards the training ground under the guidance of the instructor, Chen Lei suddenly leaned slightly closer to Qian Ye and lowered his voice, "I have already begun cultivating the third wave of the primordial force tide. Once I ignite the force node, you better be careful!"
This scene is somewhat reminiscent of Chen Lei instructing his companions to gang up on Qian Ye, but the reactions of the two individuals after being beaten are completely different. Chen Lei is clearly flustered and at a loss, his counterattacks are entirely uncoordinated, and can only be considered as frantic struggles.
In the sensation of a thousand nights, there exists a peculiar space within the abdominal cavity, where a faint force seems to be surging, as if a young butterfly is striving to break free from its cocoon. However, this space is enveloped by an invisible barrier, and one must break through this barrier in order to ignite this node, allowing the forces within and outside the body to converge and flow seamlessly.
In front of each student is a laboratory table, on which a long object is covered with a white cloth
The corpse before me has clearly been meticulously preserved; nearly a year has passed, yet it remains intact, showing no signs of decay
The strongest individuals in the class watched Chen Lei's performance, all secretly shaking their heads, no longer considering this person important.
Moments later, Chen Lei suddenly jumped down from the bed, stumbling as he ran to the window, crying out in a piercing voice: "Instructor! Instructor! Someone is trying to kill me, help!"
When Qianye lifted the white cloth in front of him, he suddenly took a step back. On the table before him lay the corpse of the little girl
Qian Ye suddenly leaped off the bed, landing silently on the floor, and then stealthily approached Chen Lei's bedside using the stealth techniques learned in the martial arts class. It seemed that no one had been disturbed.
The second face that emerged was that of Shi Yan, wooden yet striving to pull out a smile. It seemed as if someone was whispering in my ear, "Live on, hetushu.com.com, come back." Qian Ye was momentarily dazed; this voice did not belong to Shi Yan, but to that person.
The node barrier is like a high dam, firmly blocking the waves of primal force from the outside
Qian Ye's left hand no longer hesitated, striking down like lightning, firmly gripping Chen Lei's throat, while simultaneously delivering a powerful punch to his side!
He cautiously guided the surging Force, charging towards the abdominal node. Waves of Force gradually adjusted their positions, crashing against the node's barrier
Confronted with this familiar face, Qianye felt an overwhelming complexity in her heart, unable to take action. Most of the children, like Qianye, appeared panicked and bewildered. However, a few children began to take action, and some even displayed cruel and sinister smiles.
Chen Lei was not sleeping very soundly, his face showing signs of unease, as if he were troubled by some dream.
Qian Ye is now able to quickly initiate a complete Force Tidal. His goal today is to attempt to breach the node barrier
Once the little girl finished vomiting and had cried quite a bit, Shentu gently said, "Take her downstairs and clean up a bit"
Alright! Now, lift the white cloth in front of you, and then pick up this object!" Shentu raised an item that resembled a thin hook.
Only the hoarse voice of the old man echoed in the classroom
Beneath the white cloth lies a corpse, a cold corpse! Yet it bears a familiar face; Qianye remembers that this is a child who entered the training camp alongside Qianye.
The class continues, and the children are silently absorbing Professor Shentu's knowledge
Qian Ye did not look up, nor did her hands tremble even slightly. She picked up the tweezers and the thin blade knife, and began to follow the prescribed steps.
The sound of banging continued incessantly
The processes by which various techniques break through barriers are not the same. Most of them are relatively gentle, employing a gradual polishing method to thin the barrier progressively, ultimately leading to a natural resolution, seamlessly integrating the internal and external.
Qian Ye had not thought of that vague shadow from the beginning of his memories for a long time. He had thought he would forget it completely, but now it has resurfaced in his mind. However, he has already sensed that some things he holds onto will eventually be lost
A guard suddenly began to loudly count down from ten
As the clock chimed, Qian Ye tidied himself up as usual and quickly exited the training room. This time, he made a breakthrough in his studies, and among the children training together, more than ten of them also wore expressions of joy.
Qian Ye had just completed the required steps when suddenly, she heard a girl nearby exclaiming and then burst into tears, squatting on the ground and desperately vomiting, to the point of losing consciousness.
In one corner of the laboratory bench, there is a tray containing dozens of tools of various shapes. The hook that Shentu picked up is one of them
In the combat class, Qianye's opponent is an ordinary child, and there is neither hatred nor friendship between them. The outcome of their match is a draw, and then it is time for the biology class.
This is the first wave of the second round of the Force Tides, which has been compounded by the residual power of the first round of tides. The impact is already comparable to the fourth or fifth wave of the first round of tides
In this lesson, Qian Ye did not know how the time passed. This day, he also did not know how it went by; suddenly, it was evening, and he found himself lying in bed.
Qian Ye was both startled and delighted, quickly focusing to direct the wave towards the node barrier. As the wave crashed against the barrier, a buzzing sound filled Qian Ye's ears, all he could hear was the rumbling of water, and his body involuntarily shook violently, almost propelling him off the ground
The old man's eyes had originally swept over Qian Ye, but at this moment, his eyelids twitched, and he turned back to take another look at Qian Ye.
Including Qianye, all the children hurriedly grabbed their tools and began to dissect the corpse according to the method taught by Shentu
The old man cleared his throat, his voice as rough and hoarse as a crow's caw, and he said, "Little ones! From today onwards, I will turn you into true demons! As for my name, I doubt any of you would want to remember it. However, for the next six months, this name will accompany you for a long, long time. My name is Shen—Tu!"
The children lined up as usual in the clearing of the valley, and Chen Lei somehow found himself standing next to Qian Ye
However, Qian Ye felt little joy in his heart; his progress was relatively fast, ranking in the top third of the class. It has been nearly half a year since the course on military strategy began, and it is said that some children in other classes have already ignited their first Force node.
However, Qianye's hand was as if cast from iron, remaining completely still, as if he could not feel any pain at all. Meanwhile, his right hand continued to strike his abdomen and side with a steady, unchanging rhythm.
However, the gazes directed at Qianye were filled with apprehension
Qian Ye slowly and firmly reached out, pressing against his throat
With eyes fixed straight ahead, as if hearing nothing at all.
A week later, Shentu appeared before the children once again. This class was still an anatomy lesson, and the old man planned to cover the key points and weaknesses of human physiological structure over the course of three lessons
Other techniques are more aggressive and fierce, guiding the internal and external tides to repeatedly crash against the barrier. For instance, the Military Assault Technique operates in this manner, driving the primal tidal forces with a ferocious and domineering impact, rivaling the strength of top-tier techniques. However, during the process of impacting the barrier, it can also injure the body's organs.
Chen Lei opened his eyes wide, his eye sockets protruding, his face swollen to a purplish-black hue, and his tongue completely extended outside his mouth. He desperately clawed and scratched, some of his attempts missing, while others landed harshly on Qian Ye's arm
Qian Ye stepped forward and lifted the white cloth covering the experimental table, and was immediately taken aback
However, the next wave will be even higher, and the impact will be stronger. With each round of impact, the recoil of the primal force causes Qianye's entire body to tremble slightly
