On the tree-lined path, Ling Xiao chatted with Su Xiaoxiao while observing the surroundings.
"Xiaoxiao, do you feel any difference? The air in the Qinling University campus seems to be much fresher than the outside world. My body and soul here seem to be nourished by an invisible force."
Su Xiaoxiao nodded.
"Indeed! I just heard someone say that this is because the night watchman made some arrangements to fill the campus with demonic spiritual power. This demonic spiritual power can nourish the body and soul of the spiritual master."
"In addition, I heard that there are many arrangements to assist cultivation here. The reason why the spirit masters from Daqin Province are gathered together is to make full use of these arrangements."
The two of them chatted wordlessly until a loud broadcast sounded in the distance.
"Everyone, come to the playground within ten minutes. Those who don't come or are late will be responsible for the consequences!"
"Everyone, come to the playground within ten minutes. Those who don't come or are late will be responsible for the consequences!"
The broadcast repeated over and over again, and complaints sounded from everywhere.
"This campus is so big and it's our first time here. How do we know where the playground is? It's hard to find the playground in ten minutes, let alone gather."
"You also said that you will be responsible for the consequences. This is obviously making things difficult for others!"
"What are you afraid of? Take your time and look for it. Will the worst be late? Who are you trying to scare by saying you will have to bear the consequences? After more than ten years of schooling, who hasn't done this before? I've been late, left early and skipped classes. Now I'm a spirit master. Even if I'm late, they still dare to do it. Punish me?"
Among the complaints, some people were in a hurry, while others were leisurely and indifferent.
As soon as Ling Xiao heard the broadcast, he took Su Xiaoxiao and ran with all his strength.
Strengthened by the Pangu True Spirit, his physical fitness has surpassed that of ordinary people and he can run very fast.
But Su Xiaoxiao was just a delicate girl, and she couldn't run within two minutes of running with all her strength.
"Ling... Ling Xiao, I... can't run anymore. We... we don't need to rush like this, right? Besides, we don't know... we don't know where the playground is. Running blindly like this is a waste of energy but may If we can’t reach it on time, why not… why don’t we find a way to find the direction of the playground first.”
Ling Xiao slowed down slightly and pulled Su Xiaoxiao to run with him.
"Judging from Zheng Jun and Shen Luo, the night watchmen will not do meaningless things. Maybe they asked us to gather within ten minutes for the sake of assessment. It is right to go there early."
"As for the location of the playground, we don't know, and neither do others, but since the broadcast said we should go to the playground to gather, it won't be in vain."
"The sound of the broadcast is so loud that it can be heard by the whole campus. It is reasonable to say that it only needs to be broadcast two or three times, but the sound of the broadcast keeps repeating. And if you listen carefully, they use the word 'come' to the playground instead of the gathering." 'We're here' to gather together, so I judged that the location of the broadcast is on the playground, so we should just follow the sound and run!"
Listening to Ling Xiao's analysis, Su Xiaoxiao's eyes widened.
"Ling Xiao, are you still a human? Do you still have the time to analyze this in such an urgent moment? Now I understand why you can still discover the weaknesses of the blood mosquitoes at the dangerous moment of the blood mosquito attack!"
"Since it's an assessment, then don't worry about me. I know the method now and will rush over as soon as possible. You have good physical fitness. If you go there early, you might be rewarded. Taking me with you will only drag you down."
Ling Xiao had no intention of letting go. Instead, he held her hand tighter and took the initiative to share most of the strength for Su Xiaoxiao.
"We are teammates. If we can't stand together in this situation, how can we leave each other's backs in the future? Don't talk, save your energy, I will run with you!"
Su Xiaoxiao obeyed and stopped talking, but her eyes looked at Ling Xiao with an inexplicable look.
After running for another two minutes, Ling Xiao began to breathe heavily, sweating profusely and having sore muscles. Su Xiaoxiao could no longer move and was completely dragged away by Ling Xiao.
At this moment, the sound of the radio was not far away from them, but their physical strength had reached its limit.
Suddenly, an idea flashed in Ling Xiao's mind.
"Xiaoxiao, your ability is to control life force, which can heal injuries or increase strength. So, can you try to use your ability to relieve our fatigue and increase our endurance and speed?"
Su Xiaoxiao was stunned. Although she had become a spirit controller, her mentality had not changed yet. She had never thought of using the power of the demon spirit to rush on her way. When she heard Ling Xiao's reminder, her beautiful eyes suddenly shone.
The next moment, two green rays of light full of life burst out from her fingertips, one into her own body, and the other into Ling Xiao's body.
Ling Xiao's body trembled slightly, and he felt a cool force melting into his limbs. The fatigue quickly subsided wherever he passed, and the soreness in his muscles disappeared instantly.
Even his body seemed a little lighter, and his speed directly surpassed his previous peak.
"Xiaoxiao, your ability is so extraordinary. This increase is an all-round increase to your body. This can turn the tide of battle and change life or death in battle."
Su Xiaoxiao also felt much more relaxed. When she heard Ling Xiao's praise, her pretty face showed a blush, but she smiled happily.
It took them five minutes to arrive at the playground, where more than a dozen people were already standing, including two of Ling Xiao's acquaintances - Zheng Jun and Chen Zhikai.
Zheng Jun was wearing a brand new black windbreaker with a solemn face. When he saw Ling Xiao, he just nodded slightly. There were several people beside him who were also wearing black windbreakers, and they all exuded a powerful aura.
"These people should be night watchmen, and they may also serve as teachers of Great Qinling University."
Ling Xiao made a judgment in his mind, and then looked at Chen Zhikai.
Chen Zhikai raised his head, still looking proud, but none of the followers around him were there, obviously unable to keep up with his speed.
There were still a few people standing scattered around Chen Zhikai, some of whom still had beads of sweat hanging on their foreheads. They were obviously students who had just arrived.
Under the pressure released by Zheng Jun and others, the atmosphere in the venue seemed a bit calm. No one spoke, and everyone waited in silence.
Time passed bit by bit, and there were more and more people on the playground. However, until the ten-minute time limit ended, there were still only more than a hundred students on the playground, which was more than half the total number of two hundred.
The faces of several night watchmen turned completely gloomy, and some even showed ferocious smiles.
A strong man standing in the center spoke in a low voice.
"Do you know what a night watchman is? Guarding Daxia and protecting the people of Daxia is what we call a night watchman!"
"You are the future night watchmen, responsible for the lives of countless people. When the demons attack, if you arrive a second earlier, you may save tens of millions more people, but if you delay for a few minutes, countless hundreds of people may die."
"For the Night Watch, time and execution are more important than strength."
"I am worried about how to make you remember this. Now it seems that the negative teaching materials are already available. Today, I will give you a memory that will be unforgettable for a lifetime!"
