Versatile Mage: Starting Contract Groudon

Chapter 17: Beginning of Training

"This is unfair! Zhao Tingxi is one of us, why does he have such restrictions?" Xu Zhaoting frowned. He couldn't understand why Zhan Kong would give such restrictions.

Xu Zhaoting didn't know Zhao Tingxi's strength, but at least he was stronger than the other outstanding students. In addition, he was a poison master, so he could play a big role. Now that he was suddenly restricted, the impact would be huge.

Zhan Kong snorted coldly: "Boy, don't forget, this is my territory, my rules are the rules! And fairness, this world is inherently unfair, there is fairness for the strong, there is no fairness for the weak!"

"But I'm a kind person, so I'm not afraid to tell you that Zhao Tingxi has additional training content. Although he will go with you, I will arrange the content for him independently. If any of you think you have enough strength, you can follow him, but it will be more difficult to pass!"

Total silence!!!
"If no one has any objections, then get ready and set off quickly." Zhan Kong waved his hand and started to drive people away: "Well, Zhao Tingxi, come here for a moment. I will arrange the assessment content for you alone!"

Ten days later

Under the lush woods, the mountain road is winding, and a group of twenty students wearing Tianlan Magic High School uniforms are standing on the edge of a cliff...

No matter how they complained or were dissatisfied, they finally embarked on the road of bounty experience.

In the blink of an eye, ten days have passed.

During these ten days, they cut through thorns, covered with stars and moons, walked through mountains and jungles, and suffered terribly.

"That damn chief instructor, I really want to curse him for sending us to this damn place." Wang Sanpang sat down on the ground panting, fanning himself with his hat.

"Yeah, what the hell? Why hasn't we reached the 30 kilometers yet for so long? This is the tenth day, right?" said Zhang Shuhua with a giraffe neck.

"30 kilometers is the straight-line distance. We have to climb mountains, cross valleys, and go around peaks. The total distance is more than 30 kilometers," said Zhang Xiaohou.

The group that Zhao Tingxi was in had a total of twenty people. This training mission was completed entirely by the students themselves. There was no teacher leading the team, and no instructor following. They were only given a map for everyone to find the way on their own.

But what is a coincidence is that Zhao Tingxi and Mo Fan are in the same group.

After these days of crossing mountains and rivers, everyone was like primitive people, covered in dust and sweat!
"Lao Xi, what has the chief instructor arranged for you? Why do you seem so leisurely, looking at plants everywhere every day, or catching some insects? You seem much more comfortable than us!" Wang Sanpang asked Zhao Tingxi while fanning himself with his hat.

"Yeah, let's talk about it! Let's help each other and complete this experience together."

Wang Sanpang and others have been curious about this question for a long time and have been asking Zhao Tingxi about it before, but Zhao Tingxi's mouth was like it was locked and he just wouldn't say it.

Wang Sanpang just asked out of habit and never thought that Zhao Tingxi would really answer.

As a result, this time, Zhao Tingxi actually answered: "My training content is to collect information about poisonous substances on the mountain, including poisonous grasses and poisonous insects. I collect the information and then summarize and report it."

"My assessment content was customized for me by Zhan Kong. It's not that I don't want to tell you, but there's not much point in telling you. Collecting information about these things is quite dangerous. If you get poisoned by mistake, it won't be easy to deal with. I'm different. I'm a poison mage, so the probability of being poisoned is relatively not as high as yours."

This really wasn't something Zhao Tingxi was talking about, but a task that Zhan Kong had specially assigned to him. There were many poisonous insects and poisonous plants in the mountains. Although soldiers were not afraid of such places, they also needed to have a deeper understanding of these poisonous things. "Okay." Wang Sanpang instantly felt that Zhao Tingxi's task was not easy either.

"After passing this river valley, we should be not far from the Baicao Valley mentioned by the chief instructor." Squad leader Zhou Min said while holding the map.

"Damn, how are we going to cross this valley? Should we fly over it? It's at least 10 meters wide!" Wang Sanpang was the first to shout.

At this moment, what lay before everyone was a cliff and river valley!
The cliff opposite is right in front of you, but the turbulent river valley below is frightening to see. You can clearly hear the roar of the river hitting the rocks!

"What should we do? We can't give up halfway."

"Otherwise, let's go back home. Anyway, there are other groups, maybe they can finish it..." Zhang Shuhua, the giraffe neck, said.

"No need. Let's see which wind mage is brave enough to jump over with a rope. Tie the other end of the rope to the tree over here, and then just tie it tightly and climb over." Zhao Tingxi said, "All the monster hunting teams outside do this, but it depends on your courage. If you are brave enough, any qualified wind mage can do it."

"I'll do it!" Zhang Xiaohou volunteered without thinking twice: "Tie the rope around me, I'll do it!"

Zhang Shuhua and Xu Zhaoting both looked suspicious as they looked up and down at Zhang Xiaohou, who was not particularly eye-catching in the top class.

"Don't worry, this distance is nothing for a wind mage. I believe Zhang Xiaohou can do it!" Zhao Tingxi believed that Zhang Xiaohou could do it.

"I also think that Zhang Xiaohou is fine. If Zhang Xiaohou has a problem, then we don't need to cross the valley!" Mo Fan also believed in Zhang Xiaohou very much.

Zhang Xiaohou quickly tied a rope around his body and started preparing to jump over.

"Wind Rail-Speed!"

Zhang Xiaohou shouted, and the trails of stars around him shone at their brightest.

"Whoosh~"

A gust of wind made my clothes rustle!

Zhang Xiaohou's body turned into a blurry shadow and swiftly passed through the wind track he created. Running fast in the wind track, Zhang Xiaohou's speed became faster and faster!
The hillside was no obstacle for Zhang Xiaohou at all. He ran wildly, parting the weeds under his feet like waves, and rushed to the edge of the cliff!
Zhang Xiaohou stomped his right foot hard, crushing a rock on the edge of the cliff, and then jumped up!

Just as Zhao Tingxi said, a qualified wind mage can easily jump over this cliff.

“Monkey, good job!!” Mo Fan was the first to shout.

Zhou Min, Zhang Shuhua, Wang Sanpang and others also gave Zhang Xiaohou a thumbs up.

"Let's go over there!" Xu Zhaoting was the first to climb onto the rope.

The remaining nineteen people successfully climbed over the cliff of the river valley, and completed the first major test of this experience, because they arrived at their destination, Baicao Valley!
