Chapter 123
Not stirring up trouble actually left Chloe feeling somewhat regretful.
Why did Lanxicha want to take out Sasley Military Academy first?
If Sasley Military Academy hadn't been eliminated yet, they could have given them a mild lesson instead of being tied up now with Tagar Military Academy due to their alliance with Lanxicha, unable to act against them.
Chloe sighed as she sat cross-legged on the wolf's back, "Being a goody-two-shoes is really boring."
She patted Daniel affectionately, asking, "What do you think?"
Daniel, who had finally made a suggestion only to have it rejected by everyone, was still sulking and didn't say anything.
Luckily, Chloe didn't need him to speak.
The two teams walked side by side towards the endpoint on the map.
Along the way, Lanxicha Military Academy was unusually quiet, while the No.1 Military Academy was chattering incessantly.
This caused people from Lanxicha Military Academy to involuntarily look up, not understanding why there was so much talk while they were on the move.
There were many fierce beasts on the Volcanic Planet, with giant insects popping up every now and then along the road.
The two academies hadn't yet competed with each other in strength. When they reached the endpoint and had to capture the flag just in case, they were all eager to kill the fierce beasts here.
Qin Huaibei's eyes were bloodshot, his long sword soaked with green insect blood, emitting a bloody chill.
Katherine placed one hand on Qin Huaibei's arm, and a white light slowly overflowed, slowly healing the wounds on his arm.
Ironically, these wounds were not caused by the fierce beasts, but by accidentally encountering Lanxicha Military Academy while fighting the beasts. Both of them were injured because they couldn't dodge in time.
In the end, they both ended up dragging Katherine down to treat their wounds.
After that, the two academies were like opening the Ren and Du channels, fierce even when killing the fierce beasts, secretly competing with each other, always wanting to inflict some wounds on each other before stopping.
Feng Xi initially wanted to stop them, but after sensing Chloe's attitude, he remained silent.
In Chloe's view, this was normal sparring between members of the two academies.
After this period of fighting, both sides had a rough understanding of each other's strength.
After nightfall, the two academies set up their tents in the same place.
The two groups kept their distance from each other, Chloe sat cross-legged on her sleeping bag, feeling the "crackling" of the burning sleeping bag, and lifted her chin towards Qin Huaibei:
"How was it? Any gains?"
Qin Huaibei, still feeling a bit sore in his arm, said, "Not bad, their strength is much stronger than Sasley Military Academy's, barely on par with ours. But if it comes to a real fight, they won't gain any advantage."
At his words, Katherine glanced at him calmly and said:
"The strength of the others is indeed average, but don't forget about Feng Xi. He is the captain and main force of Lanxicha Military Academy."
Daniel buried his head in his sleeping bag and muttered:
"What about Feng Xi? Whether he can beat Chloe is another matter."
In the eyes of the main team of the No.1 Military Academy, Chloe was their ceiling of combat power.
This was beyond doubt.
Qin Huaibei's voice was low as he said, "Katherine is right, don't underestimate them."
The origins of Lanxicha Military Academy were unclear, yet their ability to defeat Sassley in one fell swoop was enough to grab their attention.
"Sassley is a well-established military academy of the Elven race," Chloe rubbed her eyes, "Lanxicha's appearance undoubtedly dealt a blatant blow to the Elves. What race are they?"
Qin Huaibei raised his gaze, "Seems like they're of the human race."
Human race.
Chloe pondered.
Since they were of the human race, they were destined not to be used by the Elves.
"Will the humans take care of Lanxicha?" Chloe asked.
Upon hearing Chloe's question, Qin Huaibei hesitated for a moment before saying,
"I don't know. The humans have always focused on training candidates for Tagar Military Academy."
"If Lanxicha's team is strong, they might be poached by Tagar."
With that said, Chloe began to understand a bit.
Well, whether Lanxicha Military Academy exists or not is another matter. No matter how you look at it, this military academy seems like it was casually selected by the organizers to fill the numbers.
With that thought, footsteps suddenly sounded outside the tent.
After a while, the tent flap was pulled open.
Feng Xi had just raised his gaze when he froze.
The group from the No.1 Military Academy was very close. Two of the three boys had taken off their shirts; though they were obviously still adolescents, their bodies already showed the contours of muscles, with numerous wounds on their upper bodies. Qin Huaibei even had a piece of bandage in his mouth, wrapping it around his arm.
Daniel leaned against an iron hammer, applying medicine to himself, his gaze carrying a hint of hostility.
The two girls in the front were very close, Katherine had a serene face, with a hint of divinity, while Chloe's smile at the corner of her lips was particularly malicious, her overwhelming beauty giving off a feeling like that of a thorny rose.
Anderson, at the back, was neatly dressed, his black pupils deep and unfathomable.
The five of them together seemed inexplicably like a ruthless criminal group employing some kind of sinister means.
Because of Feng Xi's intrusion, the camera angle inside the arena shifted to align with Feng Xi's perspective.
This scene immediately set off a storm of comments.
["Help, I'm already imagining what they'll look like when they grow up completely!"]
["They're so handsome and beautiful right now! Qin Huaibei wrapping bandages looks both fierce and adorable!"]
["Each of them has their own characteristics, especially Chloe and Katherine sitting in the middle, Chloe's smile is so wicked, like a villain boss, so cool!"]
["Katherine is beautiful, Chloe is handsome, right?"]
The impact of this scene was too great, and Feng Xi couldn't help but take a half step back.
It wasn't until Chloe couldn't bear to see it and kindly asked, "What's wrong, is there something on your mind?" that Feng Xi cleared his throat and turned his head to look back, saying,
"I've hunted some wild beasts that are edible. Do you want to come and try some?"
Before the words could fully leave his mouth, Daniel tried to mock, but before he could speak, Qin Huaibei covered his head and mouth, pressing him to the ground.
Daniel: ...
Are there still wild beasts that are edible on the Volcanic Planet?
Chloe couldn't help but feel a bit curious and nodded, saying, "Okay, we'll come out later."
Seeing her agreement, Feng Xi cleared his throat and walked out.
["This kid's blushing."]
["Kid, I admit you've got some looks, but if you want to win over my sister's heart, you're still a bit green."]
["Even Anderson wasn't accepted by that vampire, so what chance does this guy have?"]
The nonsense on the screen was unknown to those inside the arena.
Chloe casually tied up her hair and, after everyone had tidied themselves up, she lifted the tent flap and walked out first.
The others followed closely behind.
Outside the tent lay a huge, plump volcano rabbit.
Its fur was deep brown, its ears relatively short, but its size was as large as two tents put together.
At first sight, even Qin Huaibei was stunned.
Chloe, quite interested, asked Feng Xi, "Is this it?"
"Yeah," Feng Xi, his black eyes fixed on her, continued, "We had caught other fierce beasts originally, but considering that you guys probably wouldn't eat them, we buried them in volcanic ash."
"What other fierce beasts?" Chloe asked.
Feng Xi remained silent for a moment, kicked away the volcanic ash under his feet, revealing the head of a huge lizard inside:
"Lava lizard."
He looked up at Chloe. "Want to eat it?"
Chloe: "…"
She made a disgusted expression, waved her hand to let Qin Huaibei and the others deal with the volcano rabbit, then turned to Feng Xi and sincerely said,
"It's too ugly, we won't eat it. But how did you think of catching lava lizards to eat?"
Feng Xi blinked. "It's all meat."
Chloe: "…"
Fine, you guys really aren't picky.
