Chapter 317 Genuine Comfort or Deliberate Opposition?
Silence, deathly silence.
Although the new recruits initially had many guesses about the person Yuan Gang had brought in to make up the numbers.
But even if they racked their brains, they definitely wouldn't be able to figure it out.
That white-haired youth, who looked to be only in his early twenties, had already reached the pinnacle of the Great Xia's combat power!
Correspondingly, the soldier who had been nitpicking earlier also looked rather displeased.
Originally, the task given to them by Lord Qianmo was to cause a disturbance during the recruit training, but unexpectedly, because of his slip of the tongue, he ended up picking the toughest nut to crack.
If it were just offending Li Jie, that would be one thing, but he suddenly realized that the special teams arranged by the former seemed to be focusing their attention on him.
Done!
If this continues, my identity will definitely be exposed!
No, I need to think of a solution...
How can I distract them...?
"【Nightfall】, since Director Li has already arranged for you to be the special instructors for this recruit training exercise, then you should get ready."
Seeing that the new recruits were still in a daze, Yuan Gang coughed lightly and continued to give instructions.
"Prepare?"
"Are they worthy enough?"
When Lin Qiye heard Yuan Gang's words, he also smiled contemptuously.
Although these were more than a thousand new recruits, they had never experienced real battlefield combat.
Last night, he and An Qingyu and others discussed what methods could be used to help them grow quickly if they were to be used as opponents for new recruits.
There is only one answer.
That is to create high-pressure fear, forcing new recruits to confront their own inner selves.
Therefore...
He was already mourning for what the new recruits were about to experience.
As soon as Lin Qiye's contemptuous voice fell, the recruits instantly erupted into chaos.
"How incredibly arrogant!"
"Brothers, kill them!..."
"Yes, yes, let's show them what we're made of!..."
"........"
It was obvious that the new recruits wanted to get revenge on Lin Qiye and his group.
Let these arrogant special squads see that they're not to be trifled with!
"very good."
Seeing this, Yuan Gang smiled wickedly and waved his hand. Hong Zhu then took out a pocket watch.
"It's 9:00 AM now, and the deadline is 9:00 PM. If you haven't removed the mask from any member of the [Nightfall] team by then..."
"Then you'd better behave!"
After speaking, Yuan Gang led the instructors toward the watchtower behind the podium.
Besides the Nightfall team led by Lin Qiye, the other three special teams also vanished without a trace in an instant.
Immediately afterwards, a strange fluctuation emanated from below the training ground.
That was a sign that the [Zhenxu Stele] had been activated.
The new recruits still standing on the training ground and all the members of the [Nightfall] squad had their cultivation levels suppressed back to the 'lamp' realm.
"When does it begin!"
Clearly, the new recruits could no longer contain their excitement and shouted loudly at Lin Qiye and the others.
"It has already begun..."
After saying that, Lin Qiye waved his hand, and the bright, sunny sky was instantly covered by pure night.
"Feel...the darkness..."
.........
On the other side, Li Jie and his companion were flying through the air on their swords, rushing non-stop towards the border of the South China Sea.
"Guess what it is?"
Xian'er asked with her hands behind her back and a puzzled look on her face.
"I don't know, but it shouldn't be a bad thing."
"Why do you say that?"
"Think about it, if something bad had happened, would Hera have come all the way to the South China Sea border to specifically ask to see me by name?"
"Too."
"But there's no harm in meeting, since we're in Great Xia now and have the home advantage."
"Besides, they can be considered half our benefactors, even if it was forced upon us."
Upon hearing this, Xian'er vaguely saw the majestic scene of him transforming into a mountain, wielding a sword, and threatening the Olympian gods to hand over the essence of the divine mountain.
"Yes, yes, but don't use that trick this time."
"You might scare others, but maybe only I know that you're just a show-off..."
"Could you use a different adjective? Also... back then it was because my inner energy was completely depleted... this time it definitely won't be so pathetic..."
The description of Xian'er almost made Li Jie slip and fall off his sword.
Seeing the latter's comical appearance, Xian'er covered her mouth and chuckled, calling him a fool.
Before long, the two returned to the border of the South China Sea.
Hera, dressed in palace attire, had been waiting there for quite some time.
"Li Jie, you've arrived."
Upon hearing Hera's voice, Li Jie was certain that the diva truly harbored no hostility whatsoever.
He came here looking for himself... perhaps there really is something else going on.
"What brings the Heavenly Empress to my Great Xia? And why does she specifically request to see me by name?"
"We don't seem to have much of a relationship..."
Li Jie spoke very rudely, showing no kindness despite the other party's lack of hostility.
"Ashamed to say that."
Knowing that Li Jie still harbored resentment, Hera did not respond to his aggressive words. Instead, she lowered her stance and spoke gently.
"I have come to Daxia this time to seek your help."
help?
Upon hearing this, Li Jie was filled with questions. When did Hera, the queen of the gods, need to seek help from a mortal?
"Tell me."
Although he had no intention of taking action, since the matter had come to this point, as a nation known for its etiquette, Li Jie did not forcibly expel Hera, but instead gave her a chance to explain the situation.
"The World Tree... is destroyed."
Ok?
The World Tree is gone?!
Back in Olympus, Li Jie had even considered destroying the World Tree.
After all, Nyx had told him that the World Tree was the source of the divine power of the second generation of Olympian gods.
But to my surprise, before I could even do anything, the World Tree was gone.
"That's a shame."
Hera rolled her eyes when she heard Li Jie's words of comfort.
This kid is such a hypocrite. He's clearly gloating, but he pretends to be disappointed. Aren't you tired of that?
Although she could complain in her heart, she had come to the Great Xia Dynasty to seek help from this brat, so... she would put up with it!
"Thank you, but the thing I want to ask you is related to the World Tree..."
"Because... the power that destroyed the roots of the World Tree came from the evil origin of the Krish God."
