Chapter 6 Training, Black Zone
For several days, Jiang Zhao was immersed in the vast starry sky.
Mother Jiang Xinmei was obviously not in a good mood, and Jiang Zhao was not in a good mood to ask about his grandfather.
Life returned to how it was before, except that Jiang Zhao's identity changed from a high school student to a star soul master.
Today is the day to go to the Sharp Knife Class training camp.
Not surprisingly, Gao Chi became the instructor of this sharp knife class and started a class group in the Juxin group.
In addition to Jiang Zhao, Ruan Yunyun, and Luo Changfeng, there were also three elite students from other high schools in Fanxing City. After several days of chatting, they had already gotten to know each other.
"Mom, I'm leaving! You take care of yourself alone."
"It's better to worry about yourself. The sharp knife class training is no joke." Jiang Xinmei's eyes showed a little worry, "It's okay to be a deserter when necessary. There is no shame."
"..." Jiang Zhao couldn't laugh or cry, "Is your son that weak?"
"This is not a matter of weak chicken or weak chicken, this is self-preservation."
"Fine."
Jiang Zhao smiled in response, picked up his heavy luggage, and strode out of the house.
Before leaving, he looked back at his mother, stepped on the power skateboard, and sped away.
Fanxing City is very large. It is said that the entire city is shrouded in a six-star domain card. Once outside the range of the domain card, it is no longer a safe zone.
The meeting point of the Sharp Knife Squad is at the edge of the territory southwest of Fanxing City.
After traveling to this world for eighteen years, Jiang Zhao has been living in Fanxing City and has never been to the outside world. His understanding of the outside world comes from school textbooks and the Internet.
"coming?"
Gao Chi changed his previous attire and put on a black combat uniform, looking much more handsome than before.
"Teacher Gao."
Jiang Zhao landed smoothly, and after saying hello to Gao Chi, his eyes fell on the three boys and girls next to him.
The three of them looked at Jiang Zhao's powered skateboard with envy.
"Classmate Jiang Zhao, right? Zhang Yifan, from Fanxing No. 2 Middle School." One of the handsome guys came forward first, with a pair of headphones hanging around his neck and dressed in a street style.
This person is the only three-star birth card player among the three. He likes to share some dynamic music in the group.
Then, the two people next to him stepped forward to introduce themselves.
"Hu Dajun, from No. 5 Middle School."
Hu Dajun has a strong build, dark skin, and a slightly mature appearance.
"Lu Qiaoqiao, Ninth Middle School."
Lu Qiaoqiao is the only girl among the three. She is tall and aloof, with a hint of arrogance between her brows. Like Luo Changfeng, she is a typical master of the aristocratic family.
Of course, compared to Luo Changfeng, Lu Qiaoqiao is obviously more normal.
Although Zhang Yifan and Hu Dajun are not descendants of aristocratic families, their ancestors have been famous star soul masters in Fanxing City for several generations. In a few generations, they may also develop into a star soul aristocratic family.
To put it bluntly, among the six members of the Sharp Knife Class, Jiang Zhao was the only one from a poor family.
The reason why I say "half" is mainly because a grandpa suddenly appeared.
But in fact, at such an old age, Zhao Zhao had never received any help from his grandfather. He only got a stargazing telescope two days ago.
"Jiang Zhao, from No. 1 Middle School." Jiang Zhao introduced himself neither humble nor overbearing.
"I have heard about you. It is said that the life card is a two and a half star humanoid summoning card. It is very strange, but I don't know how strong it is?" Lu Qiaoqiao said with a hint of arrogance.
"You've already entered the sharp knife class, how can you still be weak?" Zhang Yifan laughed.
"Yes." Lu Qiaoqiao nodded slightly.
While talking, Ruan Yunyun and Luo Changfeng also arrived one after another and introduced themselves to everyone.
Luo Changfeng and Lu Qiaoqiao were both from aristocratic families, and they obviously knew each other, but their relationship didn't seem to be very good. They were mocking each other and competing with each other.
"Strange, Xiao Luozi has changed his gender?"
Seeing that Luo Changfeng didn't come to taunt him, Jiang Zhao was a little uncomfortable.
"I was scared away by you last time, so naturally I don't dare to be arrogant with you anymore." Ruan Yunyun snickered: "But it should be said that the star soul cards of their Luo family are still very weak when facing evil objects in the black area. Fierce."
Jiang Zhao looked at Luo Changfeng curiously, and Luo Changfeng gave him an awkward yet polite smile.
"Everyone is here, let's go directly." Gao Chi cleared his throat and said seriously: "The target of this sharp knife class training is the Southwest Black Ninth District."
"Black Ninth District?" Hu Dajun exclaimed: "In previous years, wasn't it all Black Eight Districts?"
"What, do you have any objection?" Gao Chi raised his eyebrows.
"No, no," Hu Dajun waved his hand quickly: "Everything will follow the organization's arrangements."
Gao Chi hummed and motioned for everyone to follow him.
After just a few steps, Jiang Zhao felt that he had passed through an invisible wall of air, and had obviously stepped out of the Fanxing City domain card range.
In the team, Luo Changfeng and Zhang Yifan were talking a lot.
"Classmate Ruan, why is it changed to the Black Ninth District this year?"
Zhang Yifan and others all knew Ruan Yunyun's identity, and they all cast doubtful glances.
Ruan Yunyun calmly explained: "The situation in the Black Eight District has long been thoroughly understood, and the meaning of the training has been lost. The association plans to change the training area every year, so as to maintain the original meaning of the sharp knife class training."
"That's it." Everyone nodded suddenly.
…
Two hours later, the sky ahead became noticeably darker.
The team members were all on guard subconsciously, because if they went further, they would enter the black zone.
Jiang Zhao didn't know much about the Black Zone. He only knew that while the Starry Sky brought the Star Soul, it also brought a disaster called the Starry Sky Evil Invasion.
From time to time, a black substance called the source of evil falls from the sky and is scattered around the world.
Those areas infected by black substances are black areas.
The black zone is filled with all kinds of extraterritorial evil objects, which are extremely dangerous, but these evil objects will also produce materials and substances that can enhance the Star Soul Card.
Star Soul Masters are the main group fighting against the invasion of the black zone.
"From now on, you will realize the most real and cruel side of this world." Gao Chi reminded while leading the way: "Only by becoming a powerful star soul master can you protect your family and friends and lead mankind to the direction of future."
"In the following training camp, I am only responsible for your safety. Unless I encounter something evil that you cannot handle, I will not take action."
Everyone looked at each other and nodded firmly.
"Your mission is very simple. Travel across the Black Nine District, arrive at the designated location, and collect at least one promotion material related to the life card on the way. You can choose to team up with each other, or you can choose to act alone. I will wait at the end. Looking after you." There was a hint of indifference in Gao Chi's voice: "According to tradition, the student who completes the task first will receive a mysterious reward."
After saying that, he raised his hand and released the three-star blue dragon, jumped on the blue dragon's back, and left coolly.
call! call!
The strong wind flapping the wings of the blue dragon caused the surrounding trees to topple over.
Zhang Yifan and others even exclaimed in surprise.
"That's the Master Nebula Dragon Card, right? It's from Samsung!" Hu Dajun was filled with envy.
While several people were shocked and envious, Luo Changfeng had already released his bloodthirsty bat and left alone, obviously not intending to form a team with others.
"Cut~!"
Lu Qiaoqiao made a sound, and then took out a two-star summoning card.
With a loud roar, a giant eagle appeared next to Lu Qiaoqiao.
"Everyone, see you at the finish line!"
After saying that, he soared away on the eagle.
"Children of aristocratic families are just different~!" Zhang Yifan turned to look at Hu Dajun, "Are we two in a team?"
"Okay." Hu Dajun readily agreed.
Although the two of them really wanted to form a team with Ruan Yunyun, they could also see that Ruan Yunyun had a good relationship with Jiang Zhao.
I saw Zhang Yifan summoning a giant dandelion more than three meters long, just like Harry Butt flying on a broom, carrying Hu Dajun and flying away, leaving Jiang Zhao stunned.
Bats and eagles are understandable, but what the hell are dandelions?
He's so big and he can fly.
Magic dandelions?
"Let's go. I feel like the material for your humanoid star soul is not easy to find." Ruan Yunyun skillfully released the power skateboard and stepped on it.
Jiang Zhao nodded slightly, and together with Ruan Yunyun on his skateboard, they slid close to the ground on the jungle grass.
"What will be the reward for reaching the finish line first?" Jiang Zhao asked curiously.
"I don't know, it depends on the mood above." Ruan Yunyun said with a smile: "Anyway, it must be a good thing. The reward last year seemed to be a two-star skill card [Electricity Stirring]."
Jiang Zhao's eyes brightened slightly, and he suddenly became interested.
Although he has valuable wealth in astrology from his past life, most of the cards he makes are summoning cards. The principle of making skill cards is not very clear yet.
I just don’t know if this year’s rewards will also be skill cards.
Beep! Beep! Beep!
Not long after they entered the dark area, the energy monitoring devices on their wrists beeped.
"Be careful, something evil is coming!"
At the same time as Ruan Yunyun reminded, two star soul cards were revealed.
Click, click, two sets of mechanical gloves quickly wrapped around her arms, leaving Jiang Zhao stunned for a moment.
She is obviously a beautiful girl, but at this moment she gives off the feeling of a gorilla.
At the same time, several monsters exuding black energy were already attacking the two of them, each of them looking strange and terrifying.
But judging from the aura emitted by these monsters, they are only at the level of first and second level.
"Master Chicken, come out and show your face!"
Accompanied by a loud rooster's crow, the Pleiades star officer made a shining appearance.
Just a rooster crow when he appeared on the stage dispersed some of the black energy from several evil creatures. Then he swung Xia Yu's cloak and kicked an incoming first-level evil creature to the ground, twitching. It turned into a ball of black energy, collapsed and disappeared.
And where the evil thing collapsed, there was left a plant branch with a strange texture, which was a perfect slingshot material.
boom! boom! boom!
Looking at the other side, Ruan Yunyun easily avoided the attacks of evil objects on a power skateboard. At this moment, she was waving a pair of mechanical arms and chasing the second-level evil object among them.
The ferocious and terrifying Level 2 evil creature was so stunned that it was hammered by Ruan Yunyun so that it could not stand up straight.
"What a fierce and beautiful girl!"
When Jiang Zhao was amazed, the Chicken Master next to him had easily eliminated two scattered first-level evil objects.
At the same time, the second-level evil object had also been hammered to death by Ruan Yunyun.
The black energy dissipated, leaving a strange broken bone on the ground.
"Why are they bone fragments? It's okay to drop a piece of metal~!" Ruan Yunyun silently picked up the broken bones with a disappointed look on her face.
Jiang Zhao happily put away the other materials.
There is no way, no matter how low-grade materials are, they are still materials. As a self-made card maker, you must learn to increase revenue and reduce expenditure, and be diligent and thrifty.
"Are all evil things condensed from these strange debris?"
Jiang Zhao looked at the miscellaneous materials in his hand and was secretly confused.
"Roughly the same."
"Then where did these things come from? Did they fall from the sky?"
"To be precise, it should have been dragged down by the source of evil." Ruan Yunyun explained casually: "Let's go ahead and get the mission materials first."
…
Star Soul Master Association Headquarters.
In a majestic building inside the Holy Palace, an old man wearing an astrological robe sat on the sofa with a dark face, watching the picture played on the screen in front of him. Next to him sat an elegant and dignified old lady, and stood beside him. With several assistants.
"Is this the grandson that my damn girl gave birth to for me? Huh~ he looks quite energetic."
The old lady on the side covered her mouth and chuckled: "It looks very much like a bad old man like you when he was young."
