"What's the meaning of this?"
"You want to seal our storage rings?
Why?! "
Qinchuan and Lü Zi had just arrived at the location of the Tianhai Special Training Camp's assessment when they heard a commotion. Curious, they walked over to take a look. After understanding the cause of the dispute, their expressions changed slightly.
The Tianhai Special Training Camp actually wanted to seal their storage rings, forbidding them from using the mission items in their storage rings while crossing the Western Wasteland on foot!
They could bring things into the Western Wasteland, but they had to carry them on their backs!
Qinchuan looked at the people who were still arguing, then turned his gaze to Lü Zi. "Did the Tianhai Special Training Camp have such a rule before?"
Lü Zi shook her head. "The Tianhai Special Training Camp's assessment content is different every year, and the requirements are different as well. But this is the most ridiculous requirement I've ever seen."
The temperature in the Western Wasteland was above eighty degrees all year round. Cultivators below the Golden Core stage were at risk of heatstroke and dehydration. To cross the Western Wasteland on foot, one had to prepare sufficient drinking water and food, as well as the necessary sunscreen. For this assessment, Qinchuan and Lü Zi had stuffed their storage rings to the brim. If they had to seal their storage rings during the assessment, all their preparations would have been in vain.
Qinchuan glanced at the resolute Tianhai Special Training Camp staff, then said to Lü Zi, "Alright, let's hurry up and get ready."
As he spoke, Qinchuan had already taken out the things he needed from his storage ring. Aside from the Storm of Wind sword, there were also some nutritional supplements and food.
Fortunately, they had already put these things in their backpacks. Otherwise, it would have taken a lot of time to organize them.
Seeing that Qinchuan had already started moving, Lü Zi didn't waste any time. She immediately took out the things she needed from her storage ring and put them away. After organizing her things, she smiled at Qinchuan and asked, "Do you feel like you're back in time to the entrance exam?
Back then, we were crossing the Blackmoon Mountains together and ran into a lot of trouble. "
Qinchuan smiled and said to Lü Zi, "I was wondering why I felt a sense of familiarity. So that's why. You don't say, I really do feel that way."
Lü Zi reached out her hand to Qinchuan and smiled. "Let's shake hands. To commemorate another joint entrance exam."
Qinchuan reached out and shook her hand. "Let's not abandon each other! Let's enter the academy together!"
…
While the people in front of them were still arguing over the sealing of the storage rings, Qin Chuan and Lv Zi had already completed the sealing of the storage rings with the help of the staff. They had embarked on the journey across the Western Desert.
Although the temperature at the edge of the Western Wasteland was high, it was only about 60 degrees. It was still within the tolerance range of Qinchuan and Lü Zi. As the two stayed in the Western Wasteland for a long time, their bodies gradually showed signs of being unable to bear the heat.
Qinchuan looked at Lü Zi's red cheeks and said to Lü Zi, "It's about time."
Lv Zi nodded and raised her hand to wipe the sweat on her face before she replied, "In my current situation, I can only walk for two hours at most. As we go deeper, the temperature will get hotter and hotter, and the time I can last will get shorter."
While speaking, Lü Zi took out two blue potions from her backpack. She handed one to Qinchuan and injected the other into her arm.
This was the cooling potion they had prepared before. It was called Frost Power. Frost Power could lower the human body's temperature to the freezing point. Generally speaking, Frost Power was used to adapt to cold environments. But now, Frost Power was used by Qinchuan and Lü Zi to neutralize the high temperature in their bodies, so that their body temperature could be maintained at a normal level in a hot environment.
After injecting Frost Power, Qinchuan and Lü Zi immediately felt much more comfortable. They no longer felt unbearably hot.
"Comfortable!" Qinchuan laughed. "This feeling is really good."
Lü Zi nodded with a smile. "Yes, now …"
Before Lü Zi could finish her words, she was attracted by the commotion to the side. A tall figure rumbled over from not far away. It very calmly passed them and continued to advance at a constant speed.
"Is that a battle armor?"
Qinchuan looked at the huge grey-white humanoid armor with a face full of astonishment.
"It's not a battle armor. It's a type of modified land tank."
Lü Zi looked at the land tank with a subtle expression. She said to Qinchuan, "The people inside must be enjoying themselves very much right now. They're not afraid of the heat and can even comfortably drink a few cups of wine."
Hearing Lü Zi's words, Qinchuan's expression became strange. He asked, "Is this allowed by the rules?"
Before Lü Zi could answer this question, the optical computer the staff of the Sky Sea Special Training Camp had given them before they set off suddenly flashed.
"Academy 0876 has violated the rules of driving a land tank and crossing the Western Wasteland on foot. Academy 0876 has been disqualified!"
Seeing the information on the optical computer, Qinchuan cracked a smile. He said to Lü Zi, "This guy really is too smart for his own good.
If driving a land tank counts as walking, then we might as well take a flying shuttle. "
Lü Zi looked at Qinchuan with an odd expression. She asked, "Don't tell me you didn't feel moved in that instant?
Don't you want to drive a land tank forward? "
Qinchuan coughed lightly and explained, "I never said I was moved."
…
In the Western Wasteland, even at night, the sky was only slightly dark. However, the temperature was much lower than during the day. Logically speaking, night was the best time to travel, but Qinchuan and Lü Zi found a place to set up their tents.
"The rules say we can only stay in tents. It's really hard for us to find such primitive camping equipment."
Qinchuan looked at the already set up tent and said to Lü Zi, "We'll take turns keeping watch tonight. You rest first."
Lü Zi nodded lightly and said to Qinchuan, "The Western Wasteland is the most dangerous and fatal at night. You must be careful."
"Don't worry, I'll be careful." Qinchuan smiled. "You rest well."
After Lü Zi entered the tent to rest, Qinchuan sat down with his back to the tent. He didn't circulate his energy, only looking around vigilantly, paying attention to any signs of movement in the desert.
Not long after, Qinchuan heard rustling sounds.
Hearing these sounds, Qinchuan's heart skipped a beat. He muttered in a low voice, "They're here?
The Western Wasteland's night killers, sandworms! "
