Chapter 152: Appearing as a saint in front of others, ranked sixth

Chapter 152 Appearance in front of others, ranked sixth

The endless gray mist behind him spreads to both sides, forming a wall of gray mist ten thousand meters high. In front of it is a cliff that sinks a thousand meters. No wonder it is called the Tianchi Station.

Just when Chen Chu and the other freshmen were standing on the edge of the cliff, looking at the majestic and wild forest in the distance, a man's voice rang out from the station's loudspeaker.

“Practice students over there, stop looking and come here to register.”

Suddenly, Chen Chu and others turned around and noticed a guardhouse building dozens of meters away.

Cough!

Chen Chu coughed dryly: "Let's go there first, we have to rush to the Nine Rings Mountains where the school is located."

Hong Tianyi, who was fluttering in white clothes, nodded: "Indeed, this is just the entrance to the alien beast battlefield, and it is still a long way from where the school is."

Li Chen said excitedly: "Let's go, brothers."

While those guys hurriedly walked to the guard room, Chen Chu took the initiative to help Luo Fei carry a suitcase, and the girl followed with another one with a smile in her eyes.

“Facial bone recognition passed, fingerprint passed, Nantianwu High School freshman, Hong Tianyi.”

“Facial bone recognition passed, fingerprint passed, Nantianwu High School freshman, Li Chen…”

Under the face-scanning verification, when everyone walks through the door of the guard room, an electronic sound of their identity will be heard. It is very accurate and the defense is very tight.

After passing the identity verification, fifteen people followed the signs and walked to the huge lifting platform behind the guard room.

It is said to be an elevator, but it is actually a row of more than a dozen huge elevators installed on the cliff wall, specially used to pull people and goods.

In the guard room, the soldiers in military uniforms were a little surprised: "This group is actually the freshmen of Nantian Wugao."

Another person also nodded: "Indeed, the freshmen at Nantian Wuguo High School this year are a bit strong. In just one semester, so many geniuses have broken through to the third level."

“Each generation is stronger than the last.”

While the two were talking, Chen Chu and others had already come to the lifting platform and stood up. Seeing this, a soldier shouted: "Students, please stand up. I wish you good military luck."

With the blessings of the soldiers, the huge lifting platform suddenly descended at an alarming speed.

The wind howled in my ears, and the speed of descent reached almost one hundred meters per second. The earth rapidly enlarged at a speed visible to the naked eye, and it took only more than ten seconds to reach the bottom.

As the lift slowly stopped, Zhang Zilong couldn't help but cover his chest: "Damn, I almost thought we would fall to death."

 Li Chen shook his head: "Thanks to you, you are still a master of the third heaven. This feeling of weightlessness is scary."

“Nonsense, the rapid descent of 100 meters per second would scare even the third level of heaven. We are not high-level experts.” Zhang Zilong complained.

While the two were chatting, Chen Chu looked at Luo Fei and found that her expression was relatively calm.

Luo Fei's eyes narrowed slightly and she bent into a half-moon shape with a smile: "This weight loss doesn't scare me. I did a parachute jump at an altitude of more than 10,000 meters last year before I started practicing."

One year ago, at the age of fifteen, I skydive from 10,000 meters. Chen Chu looked at the girl in front of him in surprise.

He didn’t expect that she not only shot guns every day, but also seemed to be better than he imagined in all aspects. At least he didn’t dare to let Chen Chu go skydiving at the age of fifteen.

As for the sinking acceleration of more than 100 meters per second, ordinary people will definitely not be able to bear it, and they may even hit the top of the elevator hard due to the weightlessness.

But Chen Chu and others are all practitioners of the third and fourth levels of heaven, and the soles of their feet are as firm and motionless as the roots of their true power.

Outside the elevator is a huge square, filled with huge trucks carrying goods, and soldiers with weapons can be seen patrolling by from time to time.

This is a military base similar to a cargo transfer.

At this time, a captain officer came over. He first looked at the time on the watch on his wrist, then looked at Chen Chu and others and said in a deep voice: "A student from Nantian Wugao?"

“Yes.” Chen Chu and others nodded.

The captain officer said solemnly: "Before you come, our teacher has helped you apply for a flying fighter plane on the No. 5 airport runway over there."

“Let’s go, I’ll take you there.”

People who didn’t expect to take a plane were stunned: “Sorry, comrade.”

“You’re welcome, everyone is here for Dongxia.”

Led by the captain, everyone passed through the perimeter of the military base and arrived at the so-called Airport No. 5 after walking for more than 20 minutes.

Suddenly everyone's eyes showed shock.

Beside the broad and huge airport runway, there are hundreds of unmanned fighter jets with a wingspan of more than ten meters, and hundreds of black fighter jets with a wingspan of thirty meters.

There are more than a dozen sci-fi-looking energy bombers with a wingspan of 60 to 70 meters and a total length of more than 100 meters on several separate runways.

 Chen Chu and others only realized this after seeing pictures of these fighter planes.

In addition, in some aircraft cabins, there were also some special fighters parked that Chen Chu had never seen before.

The flying fighter plane they were riding on was one of those special fighters, with a total length of more than 30 meters and a wingspan of more than 20 meters. It looked like a pointed bird.

When everyone came to the fighter plane, the captain touched the equipment he was carrying on his left arm. Suddenly, the tail of the fighter plane slowly sank, and a rear boarding door stretched out.

Noticing the look of surprise in the eyes of Chen Chu and others, the captain couldn't help but introduce: "This is a new generation of energy anti-gravity fighter, codenamed Blue Bird."

“The main material is cast from a mixed alloy of mutated beast bones. It is several times stronger than aerospace alloys and is lighter in weight for the same volume.”

“The most important thing is that this fighter has strong energy adaptability and can activate energy shields to fight mutant birds.”

“The kinetic energy to start the engine is provided by high-purity energy crystals. At the same time, the inscriptions engraved on the surface can absorb the energy of the surrounding heaven and earth for replenishment.”

“This kind of fighter is more than ten times more powerful than previous fighters in terms of performance, speed, flexibility and the power of weapons it can carry.”

“It’s just that the energy concentration of the outside world is not up to standard and cannot be used, so you can’t see it outside.”

Everyone boarded the fighter plane during the captain's introduction. They placed their weapons and luggage on the fixed seats on both sides as required, and people sat down along the seats on both sides.

By the time everyone fastened their seat belts, the captain officer had already arrived at the driver's seat of the fighter plane, where a pilot was already sitting.

Hum!

With a vibrating buzz, the futuristic sci-fi-style fighter slowly slid out of the warehouse. Immediately, a powerful magnetic field erupted from below, and it suddenly raised its head with a thrust from the tail.

Boom! Under the violent thrust, the fighter plane rose diagonally into the sky. It almost reached the sound barrier in just two breaths and rushed into the sky with a harsh roar.

Under the strong feeling of weightlessness, even Chen Chu looked at the white clouds outside the window in astonishment as they retreated at a rapid speed.

After the fighter plane flew smoothly at twice the speed of supersonic speed, Chen Chu let out a breath, looked at Luo Fei beside him and shook his head: "I always feel that my style has changed a lot since I entered here."

Luo Fei said softly: "It's normal, because most of the power of various countries has been spent on military research in recent years."

“Whether it is true martial arts training, or military weapons, equipment, materials, etc., they are almost constantly being explored and researched, so there is a long distance between them and civilian use.”

 Chen Chu not only did not feel reassured by Luo Fei's words, but was inexplicably uneasy.

Logically speaking, in this era of high martial arts and mutant beasts, technological development should be rapid.

After all, after the Extraordinary Era, many scientific and technological researches that are subject to materials can make breakthroughs. However, in this case, all countries have focused all their resources on the military for decades.

It gives people a strong feeling of lack of firepower, so they are struggling to develop.

What makes the human race, whose weapons research has surpassed nuclear weapons and whose single-body cultivation is comparable to myths and legends, have such a strong sense of crisis?

The words "frontline battlefield" subconsciously appeared in Chen Chu's mind.

Flying at supersonic speed, the fighter plane crossed more than 500 kilometers to the Jiuhuan Mountain in just a short time.

As the height of the fighter plane dropped significantly, Chen Chu saw the buildings built in the forest, adding a civilized atmosphere to the endless forest.

In addition, there are also some faintly visible building groups in the distant sky, spreading like a straight line.

Hurrah! The Blue Bird fighter jet descended vertically under the control of several anti-gravity engines and stopped steadily in the square in front of Nantian Base.

When the cabin opened and Chen Chu and others stepped off the plane one after another, Chen Qi, the third teacher of Chen Chu's class, walked over to the edge of the square.

 Chen Qi's face was as solemn as ever. He looked at the captain who came down with him and nodded slightly: "I'm sorry to trouble you this time, Du Yu."

A smile appeared on the captain's face: "Teacher Chen, you're welcome. I am also a graduate of Nantianwu. I will send these juniors off no matter what."

Li Chen was a little surprised: "Comrade Captain, you are also a student of Nantian Wugao!?"

Others, including Chen Chu, also had a look of surprise in their eyes. They did not expect that this captain in his early twenties would actually come from their school.

Du Yu smiled and nodded: "Yes, but my talent is not as good as yours. I barely broke through to the fourth level when I graduated, and joined the military and became a captain."

At this time, Chen Chu asked curiously: "Teacher Chen, why are you here?"

Even if Pang Long and the others were martial arts teachers, Chen Qi, the liberal arts class teacher, was actually at the battlefield of alien beasts. No wonder I didn't see her on the first day of school.

“Alright, come with me to allocate dormitories, and then I’ll find someone to take you to get familiar with this place, and we’ll consider other things tomorrow.”

Just as Chen Qi finished speaking, the wall on the left side of the square that was 30 meters high and 10 meters wide suddenly lit up. I saw a row of big red characters floating on it.

“Qin Zhe, Yunshan Martial Arts High School, Fourth Level Heaven Realm, broke through today, February 13th, and ranked 23rd on the first-year genius list!”

That row of red fonts was as big as a human being and was flashing with red light. Almost everyone in the square could see it. Li Chen and others who had just arrived were all stunned.

“Holy shit, what is this?”

“A first-year student of Yunshan Martial High School, a fourth-level student, ranked twenty-third.”

“It’s too exaggerated. Chen Chu’s breakthrough last week was already surprising. I didn’t expect so many first-year monsters to break through to the fourth heaven!”

At this time, the row of big red characters slowly shrank, and then the Dongxia Southern Talent List was displayed on the big screen, with three lists for third grade, second grade, and first grade.

Chen Chu glanced past the previous two grades and landed on the first grade list.

The first place is a man named Ning Fei, Ming Chengwu Gao, who broke through the fourth heaven on February 1, six days earlier than Chen Chu.

Then the second place, the third place…

“Chen Jianyi, Qinchuan Wu Gao, ranked fifteenth on the genius list, broke through to the fourth level on February 8th.”

Um! Chen Chu's eyes moved slightly and landed on the sixteenth place on the genius list.

“An Fuqing, Nan Tianwu Gao, ranked sixteenth on the genius list, broke through to the fourth level on February 11th.”

Sixteenth place, didn’t you expect that An Fuqing has also broken through for two days? Chen Chu was thoughtful.

“Look, An Fuqing has also broken through the fourth heaven.”

Just as everyone looked up in amazement at the huge ranking list, a person hurried back from the entrance of the square, and it was Xia Youhui.

At this time, this guy's armor was a little dirty and he was carrying a heavy shield. After seeing Chen Chu, he shouted excitedly: "Achu, you are finally here."

As he spoke, Xia Youhui ran over excitedly and said, "Fei Luo, you are here too."

After saying hello to Luo Fei, Xia Youhui turned to look at Chen Chu: "Hey! I calculated the time and it was almost time for you to arrive, so I rushed back early."

“Let’s go, Achu, let’s pretend...no, we’re going to register.”

As he spoke, he hurriedly grabbed Chen Chu's arm and ran towards the big screen in front.

Xia Youhui explained excitedly: "The alien beast battlefield data is separated from the outside. You need to log in. Come and enter your student ID to verify..."

Cough!

Chen Chu coughed dryly: "Pretend...to take your time with the registration. Why are you in a hurry than me?"

“Hey, don’t I want to see you dodge, Achu?” Xia Youhui chuckled.

As Chen Chu passed the verification and then pressed his palm on the testing instrument below, the big screen suddenly lit up again, and a row of huge red letters appeared again.

“Chen Chu, Nantian Martial Arts High School, Fourth Level Realm, broke through on February 6th, ranked sixth on the first-year genius list.”

At this moment, it is not just the base of Nantian Wugao.

The entire Southern Alien Beast Battlefield spans eighteen first-class martial arts schools and more than forty second-class martial arts schools. This row of big characters appears on the screen in the base square.

“Chen Chu!”

Hundreds of kilometers away at Qinchuan Wugao Base, Chen Jianyi raised his head and looked at the name on the big screen, and the figure walking out of the fire subconsciously appeared in his mind.

“Hahahaha! I knew you would be able to show off as soon as you arrived, Ah Chu.”

Xia Youhui burst into laughter looking at the big red letters on the big screen showing Chen Chu ranked sixth.

However, Chen Chu was a little confused: "Lao Xia, when did this list come out?"

There was no such thing in the alien beast battlefield information he looked at earlier.

Xia Youhui chuckled and said: "I heard from the seniors that it only came into being a few months ago, around the time we went to Kolaya, and it was divided into a genius list and a record list."

“However, a few months ago, the genius list was only divided into second and third grades. Last month, the first grade was divided into first grade only after the freshmen broke through the fourth heaven and entered the battlefield of alien beasts.”

“This list covers eighteen first-level bases in the Southern Alien Beast Battlefield and forty-one second-level Wugao bases. Every time there is a change in the list, a huge red letter will be displayed for everyone to see.”

“For example, now, many people in the southern Wugao base know that there is a genius named Chen Chu.”

“How are you, Achu? Doesn’t it feel great?”

 Chen Chu turned around and looked at the envy and surprise on the faces of the classmates behind him, as well as the surprise on the face of Captain Du Yu. He couldn't help but shake his head: "A little bit, it's definitely a lie to say there's no such thing."

As long as everyone has the desire to express themselves, it is an instinct that comes from the depths of their genes, and no one is exempt from it, just like women like to wear beautiful clothes and men like to be on the stage.

It’s just that a person with a calm personality and a mature person will control his desire.

Xia Youhui said proudly: "Hey, I also know that this feeling is very good, so I came back quickly to see you showing off, without even waiting for Lao Liu and the others."

No, why am I pretending to make you so excited... Chen Chu was speechless.

At this time, Chen Qi came over, glanced at Chen Chu and said casually: "Xia Youhui, you came back just in time. You take them to the assigned dormitories and introduce them to the specific situation here."

“Teacher Haole, just leave it to me.”

Xia Youhui waved excitedly as he spoke: "Brothers, let's go, I'll take you to visit the base first, and say hello to those talented 'seniors' by the way."

“There are new students here again. School will only start in the second semester of the first year of high school, right?”

“The freshmen of this class are so strong!”

“Yes, including the two previous batches, there are almost forty people who have broken through to the third heaven.”

On the steps at the entrance of the base, many old students wearing ordinary combat uniforms looked at the group of freshmen walking below, with complicated expressions on their faces.

Most of the auras of these second-year veterans are in the second heaven, and a few are in the early stages of the third heaven.

That’s right, it’s just that weak.

There are only a few geniuses in this world. Even among martial arts students from first-class universities like Nantian Martial High School, not many can continue to be brave and diligent.

There were more than 600 students in the last class of Nantian Wu High School, but by the second grade, there were only more than 400 students left.

During this period, those students who had poor talents, could not bear the boring and difficult training, did not dare to fight and suffered from bleeding, etc., finally gave up and chose liberal arts.

There are many such people.

For example, when school started a few days ago, Chen Chu noticed that out of the approximately 900 students who originally studied for foundation, almost a hundred students chose to switch to liberal arts.

When the next grade starts, some will drop out, just like the current second-grade ‘old students’.

At present, among the more than 400 second-year senior students, only more than 200 have broken through to the third level, and there are nearly 200 people who are struggling in the middle and late stages of the second level.

These people can currently only accept some ordinary tasks in the base, or hunt those first and second-level mutant beasts nearby to earn contributions and accumulate combat experience.

Only those students who have broken through to the third heaven will enter the mountains. Only the monsters from the fourth or even fifth heaven dare to stay away from the base.

In addition, there are about 200 third-year old students above the second grade. Their cultivation level basically started at the third level, and many of them have broken through the fourth level.

The strongest ones have reached the peak of the fifth heaven and are in a state of breaking through at any time.

Calculating the total number, there are about 600 students from Nantian Wugao in the Alien Beast Battlefield, and there are about 800 students including logistics and ordinary staff.

However, many students are usually not at the base, and the permanent population is only four to five hundred.

With Xia Youhui talking and walking around, everyone had a general understanding of the base.

This is divided into several building areas such as dormitory area, cultivation retreat area, logistics area, canteen, mission information and ordinary worker dormitory activities.

In addition, due to the magnetic field and seal, the signal here is disconnected from the outside world. There is only a dedicated line buried underground that can connect to the rear military base.

During the period, Xia Youhui introduced the two mission modes, but he covered them in a few sentences.

Those who can come here in advance at this time are all geniuses. No one will choose conservative tasks. The purpose of coming here is to fight with mutant beasts and hone themselves.

Of course, the most important thing is the contribution point.

With this, everyone can redeem a large amount of cultivation resources suitable for themselves and improve faster.

After roughly figuring out the basic information here, Chen Chu and others came to the Logistics Management Office to register and allocate dormitories.

The dormitories here are divided into several buildings for men and women, and each person has a separate room, which is not much different from the school.

By the time this was done, Liu Feng, Li Meng, Bai Mu and Yuan Chenghuang also returned from completing their tasks, and a group of guys came to the door excitedly.

Thank you to "Eternal Cold Wind", "The Water of the Yellow River" and everyone for your rewards and monthly support. There will be more later.
