Chapter 93: I Really Want to Escape!

As soon as the words fell, a wave of discussion rose from the audience.

"These points are way too hard to earn; I lounged in bed today, and when I got up even the sweeping work was taken away!"

"Exactly, the tasks just don't give enough points!"

"They can't be trying to kick us out of the training camp with this method!"

Dong Ningxue stared coldly from the stage, patted the table and said, "If you have objections, you can quit outright; I can reimburse your tickets home."

Everyone quickly shut their mouths, daring not to speak loudly.

"There are many ways to earn points, not just some daily tasks," Dong Ningxue glanced at the crowd and continued, "We will hold assessments periodically, and trainees who pass can receive points."

At the same time, the training camp has built a state-of-the-art testing chamber; it only takes five points to undergo a test, and test results that exceed the current Blood Qi standard will also grant a large amount of points!

Therefore, the strong never need to worry about lacking points; as for daily tasks, they are meant for the weak. Is anyone still complaining now?

When Dong Ningxue finished speaking, a hint of curiosity rose in everyone's hearts.

Many were eager to try, wishing they could head to the testing chamber right now to earn points.

Seeing the impatient expressions of the trainees below, Dong Ningxue shook her head helplessly.

The testing chamber isn't that easy to pass; these people are celebrating far too early.

"Now that I've explained how to earn points, I'll issue a list on your wristwatch, detailing the uses and costs of points; you can review it at your leisure......"

Lu Jing's wristwatch vibrated, and he tapped it directly.

The list was long; Lu Jing skimmed it briefly.

A single room costs 2 points per day.

Each meal costs 1 point; home delivery requires 2 points.

The training camp also has a supermarket where points can be exchanged for various daily goods.

These are all necessities; buying everything would require about 50 points.

In addition, there's the testing chamber Dong Ningxue just mentioned.

Lu Jing is very interested; once he masters the Moon Shadow Plucking Stars Technique, he'll definitely test his speed.

He scrolled to the bottom of the list and found that points can also be exchanged with the military for official positions and for admission slots at the Martial University.

That's a bit outrageous, but the required points are equally extravagant—at least a thousand.

But thinking it over, a trainee who can accumulate a thousand points in these two weeks could easily secure an official position in the army.

Not to mention that the Martial University admits anyone whose Blood Qi meets the standard.

"If I have to order home delivery every day......"

Lu Jing glanced at his 290 points; if he doesn't splurge, it should be enough to stay in the training camp until he leaves.

The other trainees, after reading the list, exclaimed that the pressure was huge; they only have a few points to start with, and if they don't grab tasks quickly, they'll be expelled tomorrow.

Time was tight, so many trainees, after dismissal, rushed out of the hall to the task acquisition point to see if any tasks had refreshed.

Hao Pengjie, seated in front of Lu Jing, let out a long sigh.

"Finally dismissed...... that was agonizing."

Hao Pengjie stood up to leave; if the meeting kept going, his pants would be soaked.

At that moment, Dong Ningxue on the stage suddenly said, "Feng Xinglan, Yao Rong, and Hao Pengjie, stay a moment; everyone else may leave."

Hao Pengjie, who had just stood, stared blankly for a while, swallowed, then slowly sat back down.

What the heck!

I want to get out of here right now!

Why won't they let me go!

Hao Pengjie shouted wildly in his mind.

Feng Xinglan and Yao Rong, who were about to leave, wore puzzled expressions, not knowing why Dong Ningxue kept them.

Many trainees showed jealous, envious looks.

The people Dong Ningxue called are all Talent Endowed; she's surely planning a special session for them.

What puzzled everyone was that Lu Jing, the top scorer of the entrance assessment, received no special treatment.

"Eh, I'm so jealous; Talent Endowed really have privileges everywhere."

"Yeah, after all this training camp is set up just for them, but why wasn't Lu Jing kept?"

"Lu Jing isn't Talent Endowed; Feng Xinglan and the others have growth potential and limits several times that of an ordinary Martial Artist, so they're definitely more worth cultivating than Lu Jing."

"If I were Lu Jing, I'd definitely feel resentful—being ignored while those defeated subordinates become the focus of cultivation."

Many looked at Lu Jing, trying to read any emotional change on his face.

However, Lu Jing's expression remained calm, with not a ripple in his heart.

He enjoys leisure; now he doesn't lack others' instruction, only time.

As for others' gossip, Lu Jing simply disregards it.

Dong Ningxue stood on the stage, watching Lu Jing leave the hall, and asked with some puzzlement, "Xingyao, why didn't you keep Lu Jing? Weren't you supposed to teach him?"

"Ah, I did have that thought before—thinking that even if his combat power is high, he'd have a weakness. But after this assessment, Lu Jing is strong across the board."

Zhu Xingyao curled her lip and said helplessly, "A monster like this, I have nothing to teach him......"

"Indeed, Lu Jing's strength is too great; he's on a completely different level from these trainees."

Dong Ningxue nodded; she too was at a loss about how to assign Lu Jing.

Suddenly, Zhu Xingyao's eyes lit up, she clapped her hands, "I've got it!"

"What?"

Zhu Xingyao's eyes gleamed as she whispered, "I know how to place Lu Jing; we can use him to motivate others' growth—for example, Feng Xinglan, who lost to him, will surely develop quickly under this pressure."

"Then let the grown-up Feng Xinglan go challenge Lu Jing again, so that both of them can make progress!"

Dong Ningxue heard this, and a thoughtful look appeared on her face: "Indeed feasible. With my guidance, Feng Xinglan's use of his wind affinity talent will surely improve another level; by then, paired with his Wind Walking Step, he may not be a match for Lu Jing."

As she spoke, Dong Ningxue's eyes gradually brightened: "That's settled then; even if Feng Xinglan fails, there's still the mental-system Hao Pengjie; the ranking match in two weeks will be the time to verify the results!"

Lu Jing still didn't know that he had already been arranged by the two instructors; at this moment, he had just returned to the dormitory.

He ordered a dinner via his wristwatch, and while waiting for the meal, he began practicing the movements of the Star Chronicle Forging Body Technique.

This is his habit; as long as the surroundings are safe, he must practice it once every day.

Gradually, steam rose from his body, and sweat pitter-pattered onto the floor.
