64.4 assessment items
As they walked, Ling Bingtian organized her thoughts and asked Leng Ming, "Instructor Leng, what were those four assessments that the instructor who led the senior students away mentioned?"
Leng Ming led the way, answering without turning his head, "That assessment was designed based on the skills that our four veteran instructors in the Yellow Battalion are good at."
"Only students who reach level 12 in soul power before the age of 12 and pass two of the four tests will be considered for promotion to the Xuan-class camp."
"The four assessments are disguise, beast fighting, strategy, and first aid."
Ling Bingtian understood that all four assessments were closely related to the military.
Disguise goes without saying; whether on the battlefield or in infiltration operations, those who know how to disguise themselves are sure to survive longer.
Beast battles are also set against the backdrop of Douluo Continent. Although the soul beasts in the far north have never launched a beast tide, what if they do?
Therefore, learning how to fight beasts is also very necessary.
Whether for everyday hunting, for the need to break through the bottleneck of a Soul Master, or to guard against a possible beast tide, beast fighting is an essential skill.
Needless to say, strategic planning is essential if one aspires to advance to the upper echelons of the military.
According to Ling Bingtian's understanding, this assessment was similar to the military theory he had learned in his previous life and the tactical command he hadn't learned yet; it was a compulsory subject for commanders.
As for the final first aid, that is even more important. On the battlefield, a comrade who knows first aid is always a blessing to soldiers.
Ling Bingtian understood and didn't ask any more questions, silently following behind Leng Ming.
Ling Bingtian didn't ask, and Leng Ming didn't initiate conversation with him. The two walked in silence to the entrance of what appeared to be an ordinary camp.
At the entrance, two guards stood there, but Ling Bingtian keenly noticed that the soul power fluctuations emanating from these two guards were even stronger than those of the two guards in front of Han Hu's tent.
He is at least a high-level Soul Master, or even possibly a Soul Sect Master!
"What kind of place is this? It actually requires two mid-level Soul Masters to guard it! Could it be..." Ling Bingtian had a vague guess in his heart.
Soon, after Leng Ming said a few words to the two guards and showed them a token, the two guards let them pass.
Before entering the tent, Leng Ming leaned close to Ling Bingtian and said a few words.
"Inside is the training camp's arena, where my teacher specialized in animal fighting. But now that he's retired, I'll be teaching you how to fight animals."
"As expected." Ling Bingtian's brow twitched. This was the arena; no wonder it required two mid-level Soul Masters to guard it.
"But is there enough space for beast fighting in this tiny area covered by this tent?" Ling Bingtian was a little doubtful, but he still obediently followed Leng Ming past the two guards and into the tent.
The moment Ling Bingtian stepped into the tent, he realized that his thinking was still too naive.
Damn it, besides a few tables with medicines on them and two beds, there was only one other thing in the tent.
A small cave entrance.
The Colosseum is underground!
"No wonder," Ling Bingtian murmured to himself. For an underground arena, the more ordinary the outer tents, the better.
Although Ling Bingtian felt a pang of emotion, the two did not stop walking.
Leng Ming led Ling Bingtian directly into the cave and down the stairs.
As soon as he entered the cave entrance, after descending only a few levels, Ling Bingtian heard faint roars of beasts coming from below, confirming the presence of the soul beasts below.
The further down they went, the more distinct the roars of various beasts became. Ling Bingtian heard the roars of lions, tigers, and cattle.
"Quite a few," Ling Bingtian thought to himself. Judging from the roars he heard, there were at least twenty beasts.
At this moment, Leng Ming, maintaining his usual calm tone, introduced to Ling Bingtian, "Young Master, this is a beast farm specially raised by the Ling family. Inside, there is a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast, a dozen or so thousand-year-old soul beasts, dozens of hundred-year-old soul beasts, and hundreds of ten-year-old soul beasts."
"All I know for now is that your cultivation has reached the level of a high-level Great Soul Master, but I don't know if you have any experience fighting soul beasts?"
Ling Bingtian thought for a moment and replied, "I have no experience fighting soul beasts, but I do have some experience fighting humans."
Speaking of this, Ling Bingtian couldn't help but think of a familiar red figure.
Shaking his head to clear his mind of distractions, Ling Bingtian focused on his conversation with Leng Ming again.
"Yes, young master, I understand. In that case, you may have to start with the most basic combat." Leng Ming replied after digesting Ling Bingtian's words.
"it is good."
Then their conversation ended, and things changed only when they reached the bottom.
As Ling Bingtian walked down the stairs to the bottom, he immediately spotted the most iconic building.
In the dim underground space, torches hung in torch baskets, illuminating the dark space.
The most prominent structure in the entire underground arena is the iron cage that covers almost half of the underground space.
Animal fighting cage!
Walking slowly forward, Ling Bingtian carefully examined the iron cage and was surprised to find that it was made entirely of mixed steel.
This level of refined mixed steel is more than enough to withstand attacks from ordinary thousand-year-old soul beasts.
This fighting cage alone is probably worth hundreds of thousands of gold soul coins.
"The family's resources are truly unfathomable." Ling Bingtian touched a clean spot on the fighting cage and sighed inwardly.
Looking at the congealed black substance on it, Ling Bingtian knew without a doubt that it was blood. He just didn't know if it was all the blood of a soul beast or the blood of a soul master...
The underground space wasn't entirely deserted. The place where Ling Bingtian and Leng Ming came down was an entrance to the beast fighting cage, and at the other end was an iron gate.
A man sat upright atop the iron gate.
The man appeared to be around middle-aged, with a buzz cut, dark skin, and a kind face. However, the armor he wore, painted with a bird-like spirit beast, revealed his identity.
Another general in the Arctic Army!
But it shouldn't be one of the other two of the three, Long Hu Bao. The Extreme Ice Army wouldn't be so idle as to send two of its three generals to guard this small youth training camp.
Before Leng Ming led Ling Bingtian into the beast fighting cage, he leaned close to Ling Bingtian again and whispered, "The one sitting on the cage door is a lieutenant general under General Tie Hu, named Zhang Lin, who is also a Soul Saint level expert."
After saying this, Leng Ming told Zhang Lin to wait where he was and then walked directly towards Zhang Lin. He wanted to discuss the issue of releasing the soul beast with Zhang Lin.
"There are quite a few strong people in the army. This is another Soul Saint!" Ling Bingtian watched Leng Ming and Zhang Lin talking from afar, and once again marveled at the immense strength of his family.
However, this is definitely a good thing.
A moment later, Leng Ming returned from under the iron gate and said to Ling Bingtian, "Young Master, based on your cultivation level, I have chosen a wolf spirit beast with a hundred years of cultivation as your opponent."
"With your strength as a Great Soul Master, I believe that beast shouldn't be able to harm you. This is just to let you experience what it's like to face a Soul Beast."
"Okay." Ling Bingtian quickly replied to Leng Ming, then stared intently at the iron gate in front of him, waiting for the beast fight to begin.
