Chapter 10, Five Levels

I was still worried that you would be late, so I came to call you. Deng Feng arrived and, seeing Xu Shen already at the venue, breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Don't be fooled by the coach's cheerful demeanor yesterday; if you are really late, you will definitely face punishment."

Deng Feng stopped in his tracks and looked up at the massive building ahead, shrouded in a faint mist.

Class B beasts, even the squad leader cannot resolve them

"Xiang Jing, come over here as well," the coach called out in another direction

The middle-aged man said: "The most difficult thing to learn here is how to activate and control the internal force. For others, it requires a month of accumulation to gather a trace of internal force before they can perceive and activate it. Those who are clever can master it in two months, while those who are less clever may take three months."

Deng Feng beside him was also momentarily speechless; indeed, comparing people can be disheartening.

Xu Shen needs to familiarize himself with the differences between these two sensations, as most people determine whether a switch is on or off based on whether light enters their line of sight, rather than by perceiving the opening and closing of their eyelids

You will know soon enough

Apart from the enclosed training ground, figures dressed similarly to Deng Feng stood on the other four training grounds, engaging in combat with standardized weapons, producing the sound of metal clashing against metal.

Although you will only stay for two months, rest assured that you will receive everything that others are entitled to, and it will be provided to you at a six-month quota

The venue is equipped with various peculiar training devices, featuring six training areas, one of which is covered by a translucent protective cage, seemingly intended for enclosed training. However, the floor there is permeated with dark red blood, which appears to have seeped into the stone slabs over the years, making it impossible to completely clean.

Deng Feng's eyes flashed with a hint of taboo as he said: "The weakest is the E level mentioned earlier, followed by the D level. Above that, there are three levels: C, B, and A. However, the highest level we usually come into contact with is the C level"

This should be wwwhetushu.com, which is 7 o'clock

Xu Shen was somewhat at a loss for words; what more could he say?

As a member of the fog people, not only are they illiterate, but they also fail to comprehend certain common items that are easily understood by ordinary individuals

At this moment

Do not think too much about it; for us, even a D-level situation is considered catastrophic, and encountering it would mean death

Yes

"Xu Shen, step forward," the coach called out to Xu Shen

The middle-aged man smiled and said: "Today you have just opened your market eyes, your internal market energy is restless, and you are not yet accustomed to it. You should go back and rest first. We will officially gather at 7 o'clock tomorrow morning, do not be late"

Xu Shen felt that the way the other party looked at him was more akin to gazing at a sharp blade used to slay a beast, and it was of exceptionally high quality

"Yes." A cold woman's voice emerged as she stepped out from the ranks

The dormitory rooms here are different from the foggy civilian houses; they are not only equipped with mirrors but also with lights

It seems that a level like "mother" is already quite terrifying

Xu Shen went to bed early last night and also got up early. He glanced at the clock hanging on the wall of the dormitory... He could not understand it

Given your circumstances, you can stay here for a maximum of two months before transitioning to a formal team member, so you need to be mentally prepared. The smile on the middle-aged man's face slightly faded, and his expression suddenly appeared serious, revealing an air of pressure and intimidation.

Then the coach said goodbye.

Deng Feng patted Xu Shen on the shoulder, concerned about putting too much pressure on him, and comforted him by saying

For Xu Shen, his eyes are merely for show; he just cannot allow this facade to be exposed

Xu Shen practiced opening and closing his eyes in front of the mirror repeatedly

Deng Feng smiled and said: "We are merely reserve team members. Compared to the Xushou, we are akin to infants in swaddling clothes, just babies. Even the weakest E-level Xushou as assessed above poses a significant danger to us!"

Deng Feng said cautiously, his body involuntarily leaning forward and bending at the waist

Leaving the training at https://mhetushucomcom, I returned to the dormitory

Deng Feng led Xu Shen into the passage, and from the other end of the dim and elongated corridor came the sounds of training calls, growing increasingly clear; inside was a vast training facility

Once you have mastered the art of Xu Li, and your physical abilities surpass those of ordinary people, the techniques of Zhan Xu, which require others to practice repeatedly, will come easily to you, and you will find the basics to be a breeze

I do not know how to evaluate it, but as far as I know, the beasts are divided into five levels

At this point, his expression appeared somewhat solemn

You must be that special newcomer, indeed quite impressive

Deng Feng shot him a displeased glance and said, "That would naturally be a level that breaks through the ceiling. By the time we see it, it is likely already dead, and there is no question of contact. Even if the captain encounters it, it would probably be quite difficult..."

He did not continue speaking, but instead patted Xu Shen on the shoulder and said: "The best approach is still to do your best to pass. If you do not pass the first time, I have heard that the subsequent assessments are equivalent to actual combat... Moreover, without the guidance of veteran team members, the situation will only worsen..."

Fortunately, our extermination operations are usually conducted in teams to combat the beasts, employing a strategy of overwhelming numbers. Initially, we will only hunt E-level beasts, gradually enhancing our practical experience. Although there are risks involved, as long as we exercise caution and train diligently in the training camp, we can still ensure safety.

The crowd spoke in unison

Deng Feng pulled Xu Shen to his side, and the others, upon seeing Xu Shen, understood that he was a newcomer. They did not say anything, as everyone was a novice when they first arrived.

Coach, I have brought a newcomer

ABCDE...... Xu Shen silently noted five levels in his heart, from high to low, and asked in confusion: "Why is the highest level that can be accessed only C level? What about B level and A level?"

No wonder it was Captain Chu Bai who personally led the team at mhetushu.com

Even with my eyelids closed, I can still see; choosing to close that sense of "seeing" is the second option

Feeling the other person's kindness, Xu Shen smiled faintly

The previously scattered individuals quickly gathered and arranged themselves into a square formation

The middle-aged man nodded slightly, then sat back down in his chair, looking at Deng Feng, who was preparing to send Xu Shen off, and glared at him: "Where do you think you're going? He can see now, does he still need you to send him off?"

... ...

The middle-aged man stood up, a smile appearing on his face: "I have heard about your situation. Since you have come into contact with the market, there is no turning back. I hope you will work hard; with your qualifications, you cannot afford to waste them."

There are already more than ten people who have arrived early here

So what they referred to as a good product means that they have a fast "delivery" speed

Although I do not understand many things, like other people living in the fog, the innate lack of security has made me exceptionally meticulous and perceptive, paying particular attention to and being careful about external matters

No, it is six months. Deng Feng said: "The first five months are for training, and the last month is for preparation for the assessment. If you pass, you will be assigned to become a formal team member."

To engage with the market, one must undergo training for at least five months. As the final assessment approaches, the coach will arrange for market beasts to serve as practice partners, providing us with practical experience, although these are merely E-level market beasts that are beaten to a near-death state.

Xu Shen felt a quiet sense of awe in his heart

I will do my best, Coach. Xu Shen obediently nodded

When an ordinary person opens their eyes, the brain emits a signal, akin to pressing a switch, but they have two switches instead

Otherwise, to appear so openly in the lair of the personnel of this slaughter market without causing any disturbance can only indicate that the depth of the market realm they are in has far surpassed the limits that the strongest combat power here can perceive

Along the edge of the training ground, Deng Feng brought Xu Shen to a viewing pavilion where a bald middle-aged man was seated. He was leaning back in his chair with his arms crossed, half-closing his eyes, appearing to be either dozing off or paying attention to the situation on the field

Xu Shen quickly replied loudly and then stepped out of the line

At this point, he smiled and said, "Do not be deceived by its appearance as the weakest of the wasteland beasts, barely alive; many people have been injured, even severely wounded, during their first training sessions with these beasts. After all, now that we can see the wasteland, you have never encountered the forms of these beasts... Just standing in front of you is enough to make one’s legs tremble"

Under the oppression of the Dark Lord, they exhibit a sense of collective warmth and solidarity

Soon, the coach arrived on the scene

It sounds somewhat strange, and opening one's eyes requires practice... However, this is indeed the case

You do not need to worry about this for the time being

Of course, excluding the few madmen in the training camp

The coach glanced around the entire field, his gaze lingering briefly on Xu Shen, and then nodded slightly before saying: "As per usual, let's start with ten laps around the field to warm up"

Xu Shen counted and found a total of 28 people

Soon, the time arrived on the following day

What are the others still standing there for? Do I have food on my face?" the coach shouted sternly

But for you, one month is sufficient; as for strengthening your physique and mastering the art of cutting through the void, these are all trivial matters

However, Xu Shen had noticed a few days ago that the commotion from the trainers in the other buildings outside during their training coincided with the position of the clock hands

It is like having one's eyes open in the dark, yet being uncertain whether they are truly open.

However, he does not envy Xu Shen. Although it is said that one must work hard to train and grow, deep down, no one wishes to be promoted early, as that is akin to dancing on a chopping board

Then it was not approved

As long as you are not foolish, do not be lazy, that is sufficient

Xu Shen did not allow the topic to linger on Li Jie, but instead turned to inquire about the matter at hand

The mist in this secret bureau is noticeably thinner than that outside, yet it still affects visibility

And now, it is already close to that position

When you close your eyes and can still see the images in the book, you will experience such a dilemma

Arrived

He shook his head, a look of regret on his face, casting a glance at Xu Shen that seemed to say, "You will know when the time comes"

Deng Feng shuddered, quickly forced a smile, and turned to run back to his training ground

So what is the main content of our training

Level C is the ceiling; once encountered, it results in either death or serious injury, unless there is a leader-level figure leading the team and adequate preparation is made to resolve the situation

After quickly washing up, Xu Shen changed into the training uniform that had been delivered to the dormitory entrance the night before and arrived at the training venue

Xu Shen understood; it seems that wanting to give up is not an option.

Xu Shen let out a sigh of relief; he indeed was not yet accustomed to his newly opened "eyes," and at times he was even uncertain whether he was awake or asleep.

Xu Shen nodded slowly

Xu Shen was taken aback and asked, "Can it be learned in two months..."

The middle-aged man's gaze shifted from the field to Xu Shen beside Deng Feng, a fleeting look of emptiness passing through his eyes, but he quickly returned to normal.

The sudden loud sound startled Xu Shen in the team

Xu Shen captured the information in his words and asked curiously, "So, does that mean there will be an assessment after only five months of training here?"

Soon, others began to arrive one after another within just two or three minutes

... ...

Deng Feng shrugged slightly: "That means daily assessments, until passing, or..."

"The evaluation and classification of the market beasts you just mentioned, how is it assessed and categorized?" Xu Shen inquired again with curiosity

There is also a training ground where there is no sparring practice, only repetitive movements such as swinging swords and chopping.

The one in my bedroom... and the one in the administrative department, as well as the one previously on the lawn... should all be at least Class C or above, right

Does this mean that in just six months, 28 families have encountered incidents involving wild animals? And this only accounts for the military department, excluding the civilian department

How do we usually train, do we need to fight against the beasts in the market

Yes

Closing the eyelids is one
