A week later.
A suburb north of Sun City.
The Temple Training Camp was not located in Sun City. According to the instructions on the token, they were required to wait in the suburbs outside the north of the city.
The three of them packed up their things early, said goodbye to the teachers in the academy, and went outside the city to wait, but found that there was no one around.
"What's going on? Didn't you say you would wait for us here?" Le Qianxue frowned slightly, her delicate face full of confusion. She looked around at the empty fields, a hint of dissatisfaction in her eyes.
"Wait a moment! Maybe the time hasn't come yet." Le Qianyao guessed.
Just as Le Qianxue was complaining in confusion, before she could finish her words, a sound of breaking air suddenly occurred.
A black sword suddenly broke through the air and stabbed towards the three people.
"careful!"
Le Qianyao's pupils flashed fiercely, angel wings appeared in his hands, the soul power under his feet exploded, and his body blocked in front like lightning.
clang!
The clanging sound of metal colliding made people's eardrums tremble. In a flash, the angel wings in Le Qianyao's hand accurately blocked the attack of the black sword. The black sword was bounced away by the powerful force and drew an arc in the air.
"Who is it?"
The three of them quickly became alert and looked around vigilantly.
The next moment, the black sword suddenly retreated. Looking in the direction of the black sword, a black shadow jumped down from the tree.
The swordsman was wearing a black robe, and beneath the black hood, revealed a face as cold and hard as a knife.
The man had prominent brow bones and a hideous scar across his right cheek, and the black sword of his martial spirit in his hand was humming non-stop.
"That's a good response," the man said coldly, with a hint of surprise and appreciation in his voice.
However, just as the man was about to take the next step, a chill came from behind, locking him in place.
"I advise you not to act rashly. Otherwise, I can't guarantee when I'll pierce your heart!"
A cold voice came from behind the man. He turned his head slightly and saw Le Qianxue holding the Black Moon Scythe. The blade of the scythe was shining coldly and was pointing at his heart, ready to strike.
"Wh…when!"
A hint of surprise flashed in the man's eyes. He never expected that someone would suddenly appear behind him.
He flicked his fingers subconsciously, and in an instant, the black sword in his hand was swept away by the sword energy and fell to the ground with a "clang".
At the same time, the angel feather in Le Qianyao's hand had already reached the man's neck. The sharp blade flashed with cold light, and with just a little force, it could cut through his skin.
Under the double attack from Le Qianyao and Le Qianxue, the man completely lost the chance to resist.
"Who are you?" Le Qianyao asked coldly, his eyebrows sharp and his eyes revealing an unquestionable majesty.
Seeing this, the man raised his hands helplessly, indicating that he had given up resistance, and then shouted loudly: "Don't do it! I'm not a bad guy, I'm the guide of the training camp, Shen Lang!"
Le Qianyao already had some guesses about Shen Lang's identity. He carefully looked at the temple badge worn by Shen Lang, and after confirming his identity, he slowly retracted the angel's feather.
"Sister Xue, take it back! We are not enemies." Le Qianyao said.
Le Qianxue put away the Black Moon Scythe, but the doubt in her eyes did not dissipate. She couldn't help but ask, "Then why did you attack us?
"Sorry, everyone, this is an assessment for the training camp." Shen Lang knelt on one knee and explained:
"The purpose of the Temple Training Camp is to select combatants capable of fighting against evil spirit masters and combating the forces of evil. In the face of battles with evil spirit masters, any unexpected situation could occur, and any minor incident could potentially cost one's life."
"If you don't have this awareness, you won't even know how you died in future battles with evil spirit masters. The Temple doesn't need people like this who would die in vain."
"However, your performance was a little beyond my expectations. I was careless! You have passed the assessment."
After listening to Shen Lang's explanation, Le Qianyao nodded slightly and said calmly: "In that case, please lead the way!"
"Okay, everyone. The training camp is located in the Holy Light Forest. For the rest of the journey, please be sure to follow my pace and don't fall behind." After Shen Lang finished speaking, he ran in front to lead the way for everyone.
His speed is not very fast, and he always maintains a relatively steady rhythm.
At the beginning, the three of them could easily keep up with Shen Lang's pace and followed closely behind him.
But as time went by, the sun gradually rose higher, the weather became hotter and hotter, and Yali's physical strength gradually became exhausted.
Her forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, her little face turned red, and her steps became heavy.
Le Qianyao noticed Yali's condition. Seeing that Chen Lang had no intention of stopping, he thought quickly in his mind and made adjustments quickly.
"Lier, adjust your rhythm and pay attention to your breathing!" Le Qianyao reminded softly.
"Yeah." Yali nodded slightly in response.
Le Qianyao signaled to Le Qianxue and began to adjust their positions. The three of them stood in a line, with himself at the front, Yali in the middle, and Le Qianxue at the back.
In this way, Le Qianyao breaking the wind in front can reduce some resistance for Yali and allow her to save energy to a certain extent.
In this way, the three of them continued to move forward under the leadership of Shen Lang.
Ten kilometers, twenty kilometers, thirty kilometers...
Their physical strength was gradually exhausted and their clothes were soaked with sweat, but in order to reach the training camp smoothly, everyone began to use their soul power to maintain their physical movements.
Finally, after running about fifty kilometers, a lush forest appeared in front of everyone.
Shen Lang stopped and looked back.
But seeing that the three of them were all in order, no one was left behind, especially Yali, Shen Lang couldn't help but feel a little shocked.
He knew in his heart that Le Qianyao and Le Qianxue were combat soul masters, and their physical fitness and stamina were inherently stronger than those of ordinary people. However, as an auxiliary soul master, Yali's physical strength was naturally much weaker than that of a combat soul master.
But no one expected that she could actually hold on. This made Shen Lang look at the three of them with admiration, and he secretly sighed in his heart that these three little guys were not simple!
"Take a rest. Once you've adjusted yourself, we'll enter the Holy Light Forest." Shen Lang said.
"By the way, your pass token is still there! Don't lose it, there is a special scent mark on it. The Holy Light Forest is where the temple raises Pegasus. There are a large number of Pegasus living here. Without a pass token, you may be regarded as an invader by the Pegasus and attacked by them." Shen Lang reminded.
"I know, it's still here."
After a short rest, everyone entered the Holy Light Forest. Passing through the quiet forest, a towering mountain appeared before them.
The middle of the mountain seemed to be split by a sword, forming a huge natural crack.
A towering black fortress is embedded in it, with sword marks all over the walls. At the highest point stands a sculpture of seven giant swords, with the tips of the swords pointing straight to the sky.
Chen Lang took out a black token and fitted it into the groove on the gate. With a buzzing metallic sound, the gate of the training camp slowly opened.
"Welcome to the Temple Training Camp! Before entering, I must remind you that you must be extremely alert and vigilant at all times. This place is not absolutely safe. Remember, survival is the most important thing at all times."
As I walked through the gate of the training camp, a flash of white light passed by.
