75 – The School’s Trial by Fire

“The school’s trial by fire is a special training for those who are going to participate in Skywater City’s high school martial arts competition.”

The homeroom teacher Qiu Xue carried on, “The special training is free and is meant for the school’s top ten experts. Thus, you two are qualified to attend.”

“However, some students can pay a high fee and choose to attend, as well. But the number of people who take this route cannot exceed 10. Therefore, a total of 20 people are going to participate in this special training.”

She extended two fingers.

“But teacher, I heard that other schools will participate in the special training, as well.” Jiang Yaru seems to be well informed. She learns a lot of things trough the grapevine.

Qiu Xue nodded: “That’s indeed the case. Because this trial by fire will be carried out on the Savage Beast Island this time. It’s quite costly. If it was just a single school, it would be too expensive.”

“Therefore, the school will cooperate with other high schools. There are ten schools in total. We will jointly hold the special training.”

Ten schools?!

Xia Ping’s eyes twinkled. That’s really grand. Sure enough, it was the right decision to get good results in the martial arts competition. If he was an ordinary student, he wouldn’t be eligible for this special training.

There are times when the martial path is like this. The strong get stronger while the weak get weaker. Because the resources and training both sides receive are not at the same level, the gap between the two naturally grows wider.

“Because the special training is held on the Savage Beast Island.”

Qiu Xue continued, “Since there are all kinds of powerful and terrifying savage beasts living on the remote island, there is a certain amount of danger involved in the trial by fire.”

“Therefore, you must sign a waiver of liability agreement and get the consent of your guardian before you can participate.”

She took out two consent forms from the drawer.

“If you and your parents agree, sign this consent form, and you can set out to the Savage Beast Island for the special training the day after tomorrow.”

Xia Ping and Jiang Yaru both took a consent form. They must participate in the special training. After all, such an opportunity is rare.

Moreover, although there is a certain danger involved, but you won’t lose your life. Signing the consent form is just routine. In fact, the school holds such special training every year, and there has never been any major incidents.

Therefore, few parents and students would refuse such special training.

“Okay, that’s it. Bring me the consent form tomorrow.” Qiu Xue swiftly concluded the meeting.

…………

Two days passed in the blink of an eye. Xia Ping came to school in the early morning, since that was the time the school set for the departure. The gathering place was the school’s sports field.

After practicing cultivation for two days and consuming four or five Body Strengthening Pills, he detected that the true qi inside him seemed to grow again, a lot of impurities have been expelled from his body, and he finally reached the pinnacle 7th layer Martial Apprentice realm.

If things go on like this, he should be able to connect the eighth meridian in a short time.

If it wasn’t for the help from the Body Tempering Pills, Xia Ping wouldn’t be able to practice cultivation at such a rapid speed.

Before long, Xia Ping arrived at the sports field and saw some teachers, the head teacher, and the vice-principal. His homeroom teacher, Qiu Xue, has already arrived, as well.

Even the students who are going to participate in the special training have already arrived. There is Jiang Yaru, Zhu Erqin, Hong Yu, and others who made it to the semifinals, Xiong Batian, Tao Yun, Gao Sheng, and other students who had fought with him, as well as some top students.

Practically the top 20 elites of the 95th High School came to the sports field.

“Hey, Xiong Batian, you’re going to participate in the special training, as well.”

Xia Ping went up to his old acquaintance and greeted enthusiastically, “But if memory serves me right, you didn’t enter the top 10, right? Did you pay to be able to participate?”

Paid your sister!

Xiong Batian’s nose scrunched up from anger. This scoundrel likes to air other people’s dirty laundry. Who’d specifically mention this kind of thing? Isn’t that just mocking him for coming in through the back door?

This vicious scoundrel. It would be great to slap his face until it became all puffy.

“Tao Yun, you’ve come, as well. I haven’t seen you in a while. I even started to miss you. I still remember our fight to the death in the arena.” Xia Ping greeted Tao Yun and sighed ruefully.

Missed your uncle!

When he heard this, the corner of Tao Yun’s mouth twitched. That was a fight to the death? It was a fight where Tao Yun was humiliated. Because of that fight, he became the laughing stock of the school and was nicknamed as crybaby.

Now he can’t lift his head while walking on the street.

Whenever Tao Yun thinks of what happened that day, he wishes he had never participated in the competition. He will never forget the face of that repulsive Xia Ping.

Even at night, this guy will appear in his nightmares. It can be said that he doesn’t want to see this scoundrel ever again.

Unexpectedly, this guy came up to him and greeted him.

“Oh, if it isn’t Gao Sheng? You got better so quickly. Did you soak in a nutrient solution? That kind of thing is really expensive. It’s great to be well-off.”

Xia Ping came forward, patted Gao Sheng on the shoulder, and said with admiration.

Great my foot!

Gao Sheng turned a bit green in the face, and his whole body trembled. The reason why he went to the hospital and had to soak in a nutrient solution, it was all thanks to this scoundrel. Yet this bastard actually came over and mocked him thusly.

Although his family is well-off, but it can’t spend all its money in the hospital. There’s such a way to insult others?

When a group of top students heard this, the corner of their mouth twitched. They long since heard that this Xia Ping was an infuriating guy. But they didn’t expect it to be to such a degree.

Even though it has nothing to do with them, but they all have the urge to beat this scoundrel up. Why hasn’t anyone sealed this bastard’s mouth shut yet? It’s too vicious.

“Xia Ping, what on earth are you doing? Stop talking nonsense as you please.”

Jiang Yaru couldn’t stand it anymore. If this scoundrel is allowed to keep running his mouth, a fight may break out before they board the airship.

“Cough cough.”

The homeroom teacher Qiu Xue has a dumbfounded look on her face. This is the first time she had seen a student from her class be this infuriating. She coughed a couple of times and said, “Xia Ping, since you’re here, then let’s board the airship. The people from the other schools have been waiting for a while now.”

She pointed to a huge airship docked not far away on the sports ground.
