Chapter 33: Cold-Blooded Beast Training (Three)

  After everyone else had left, Are and Old Ka stayed behind.

  "Second brother, do you think this is really okay?" Are asked anxiously as she looked at the disgusting things on the training ground.

  "Yes, Xiaoyun, maybe you really did. Just take that cesspit for example, it's not a place for humans to stay." Old Ka also said.

  "Uncle, if on the battlefield, there are pursuers behind and no way to go forward, with only a foul-smelling ditch available to dive into, do you think they should choose death or jump in to survive?"

  Liu Yun looked at the training ground in front of him, and his mood became particularly complicated.

  "Am I right in doing this? Is it too cruel for those young people?"

  "But..." Are seemed to want to say something more, but she felt that her second brother's question was too difficult to answer.

  "I once heard that many people who were trapped in earthquakes survived by drinking their own urine. They struggled to survive, not because they lacked the courage to die, but because they showed respect for life," said Liú Yún.

  In the past, when he was bored reading books, he found that the Blue Moon Continent and his hometown were also prone to earthquakes, bringing great disasters. In his view, every life is precious. His team members must learn to survive in any harsh conditions.

  "For the deceased, being alive is better than anything." As he thought of this, the perplexity in Liú Yún's expression instantly vanished.

  "Since ancient times, on this planet of ours, there has never been a bird that doesn't rely on its own wings to soar. Birds won't flap their own wings and take to the skies, it's hard to avoid being eaten up by danger. Blue Moon is a continent of war, I want to give them a pair of flying wings!"

  Liú Yún said to the two people in silence. He could understand their feelings, and as for whether to implement such training, he had also hesitated before.

  When the students officially entered the Beast Tamer Camp for training, Liuyun only said one sentence to the participating students.

  "Everyone tells me firmly: the battlefield doesn't need the weak, the beastly camp doesn't believe in tears, persisting is a strong man, quitting isn't a coward, but you must be like a man!"

  At the beginning of training, Liú Yún felt relatively satisfied. The performance of several squadron leaders made him look at them in a new light.

  Ziwen stood in front of Team Lei with a big smile on his face and began to give a rough but unique pep talk.

  "Just now everyone followed me for a walk and saw the situation, right? I don't have the heart to let everyone train here! This is not a place for humans!"

  The members of the Lei team were suddenly moved. "Does the captain dare to go against the leader's intention?" someone couldn't help but wonder.

  "You're all my brothers, right?"

  Everyone responded in unison: "Yes!"

  "Hmm, brothers, it's only right that we share the difficulties together! I've been tortured by Lao Da for a week now, isn't it your turn?"

  The members of the Lei team were all stunned.

  "Now the training begins, whoever can't keep up and quits will have to spit on their own face when they leave, and don't call me captain again!" Zi Wencheng said, his face stern, and he didn't say another word.

  And Shui Han led the team members to the edge of the stinky water pool.

  "Do you still remember what Lao Da said?"

  "We are people who walk in the dark night, learning to survive is more important than anything else. Consider this place as our only place to survive, now follow me down and hide."

  He walked into the stinky pool with a cold face and slowly squatted down until the water covered his head.

  "We're all playing with fire here. If you're afraid of getting burned, that's laughable. Ka Da Shu, try to make the fire bigger and see if my brothers are cowards!"

  When Ah Xu and his teammates arrived at the fire barrier, Lao Ka had already released wave after wave of flame walls, forming a sea of flames. Ah Xu directly led his men in a charge into the sea of flames.

  Tielie, Yangming and Weijiek each had their own ideas, leading their team members into training. Xibo was responsible for coordinating the training transitions between several teams.

  Lingyun and Iverson stood beside Are, teaching her how to control her magical powers so as not to hurt anyone.

  This time's training, Liú Yún's principle is that if an injury can be treated without magic, then use medicine to treat it. He hopes every team member can experience the most authentic feeling from their physical body.

  Injuries can be healed immediately, no one will fear injuries and won't learn how to protect themselves. As a martial artist, when walking outside, it's not possible to always have a water system magician by your side, right?

  Staring at the earth-type middle school students who were fighting in the swamp, Liú Yún suddenly let out a cold snort and flew forward. A team member who had easily knocked down his opponent and was about to leave the swamp was slapped to the ground by Liú Yún's palm.

  "You stinky brat, on the battlefield, can you also negotiate with the enemy?" Liú Yún said viciously.

  "Don't want to train? Get out! Want to train? Knock your opponent out and then get out! Don't embarrass me here!"

  Tie Lie saw this scene and walked over with a red face, heavily kicking another team member.

  A palm of flowing clouds and an iron kick immediately produced results.

  Just a moment ago, the two people who had agreed to release water suddenly became sworn enemies and started a cruel hand-to-hand combat, punching and kicking each other without mercy. Both sides roared, having been knocked down, got up with mud and water all over their bodies, and rushed forward again, clenching their fists and using all their strength to pound the opponent's body.

  A delicate figure stood at the entrance of the beast camp, secretly watching everything in front of her, and tears flowed uncontrollably.

  At dinner time, the dining hall quickly became empty. After the first day of training, it seemed that not many people could eat anything. Looking at the large bowl of leftover rice and dishes, Shuiling's gaze fell on Liuyun.

  "How can you still eat so peacefully? Don't you think they're too pitiful? They're all just a bunch of half-grown kids!" Shuiling suddenly felt that Liuyun was still as despicable as ever.

  Even though Shui Han explained a lot to her, but witnessing the scene on the training ground and the miserable looks of the trainees who couldn't swallow their food during dinner, she couldn't understand this kind of training method that was close to abuse.

  Liu Yun had just finished his meal and was about to head out of the academy when a voice sounded behind him.

  "May I have a word with you?"

  Lingyun was taken aback for a moment. In his memory, this seemed to be the first time Shuiling had taken the initiative to talk to her.

  "En. Speak." Liú Yún turned around, smiling at her.

  "You, why do you have to torment them so?" Shuiling asked weakly.

  "I hope they can become stronger, I don't want this group of kids to be eliminated in the future, I'd rather give them a bright future."

  Yunliu softly replied.

  It's also funny to think that in front of this gentle girl, Liuyun feels like he has become a very gentlemanly man. All his coldness would melt away with her sweet voice, leaving only the same gentleness as hers.

  "When did I become such a gentle man?" Liú Yún couldn't help but smile bitterly.

  "Can't we use another method?" Shuiling asked again.

  "There may be other ways, but this method is the most effective for now." Flowing Cloud sighed.

  "They can't even eat their meals, how can you bear it? Maybe you're just a cold-blooded person."

  A gentle word from Shuiling, heavily struck at the heart of Liuxing.

  "Perhaps I am. And what is all this for?" The flowing cloud no longer spoke, its gaze quietly fixed on the distance.

  "Shuǐ gū niáng, I am a cold-blooded person. If my cold blood can make them understand the cruelty of the battlefield and give them an extra chance to survive, I am willing to be cold-blooded for life!"

  After finishing speaking, Liú Yún took big strides towards the distance, leaving behind only a lonely silhouette for Shuǐ Líng.

  The sunset stretched his shadow very long.

  The February prairie is desolate. Water Spirit thinks that his lonely figure makes the prairie even more bleak.

  "Was it you who was wrong or me? If I was wrong, can you forgive me? Because, I really don't understand you."

  Two crystal-like tears slid down the girl's smooth face. The tear drops in the wind, under the sunset glow, refracted a touching radiance.
