Originated from mountains and seas, life never ends

Before going to bed, Feng Yaoshan told them that they should wake up at the whistle the next day and stand in front of him within a quarter of an hour. Qin Xiao went to sleep wearing this outfit. In this kind of weather, no one would want to cover themselves with a blanket - unless they wanted to wake up covered in sweat.

Qin Xiao touched the jade pendant and slowly closed his eyes.

Qin Xiao was a light sleeper and opened his eyes almost at the same time the whistle sounded.

The whistle is sharp but not very loud, making it difficult to wake up a sleeping child.

Qin Xiao stood up and wanted to call Mo Hanyu, but he saw that he had also opened his eyes and sat up. However, he was obviously still a little confused and put his hand into his hair and scratched it.

Qin Xiao ignored him and put on his shoes. Seeing that no one got up, he kicked the foot of the bed hard, making a loud noise.

The noise woke up countless children, who stood up, opened their confused eyes and looked around.

After Yin Xihui woke up, he paused for less than a second before he reacted and got out of bed.

Qin Xiao waited for Mo Hanyu for a while, but seeing that others were still busy, he didn't wait any longer and walked out.

"Do you think these little brats can react?" Shen Hao crossed his arms and looked at Feng Yaoshan, who was half a head shorter than him.

Feng Yaoshan looked at the small notebook in his hand with a smile, without even looking up: "It's impossible for all of them to be here. By the way, Shen Hao, can that incense really burn for just a quarter of an hour?"

"Of course." Shen Hao frowned, "How long do you think it will take for the first one to get here?"

“…I don’t know.” Feng Yaoshan shook his head.

"Then I guess no one can arrive in this quarter of an hour." Shen Hao made a bold guess.

Feng Yaoshan smiled and said, "That's not necessarily true."

"Huh?" Shen Hao was a little surprised and turned his gaze towards the dormitory. "Who do you think will come?"

Feng Yaoshan smiled without saying anything, the two distinctive figures from the daytime appearing in his mind.

"Shen Hao, how about making a bet?" Feng Yaoshan looked at him.

"Oh? What are you betting on?" Shen Hao looked at him with interest.

"I'll bet you my top-grade Qi Blade. If you lose, you can give me your jar of Sakura Wine. How about that?"

"You're really greedy, but you have a precious thing, why do you want to bet with me?"

"Just tell me if it's okay."

"Okay. What do you want to bet?"

"Of course..." Feng Yaoshan's pupils turned, "Betting on who will arrive first."

"Who are you betting on?" Shen Hao looked at him.

Feng Yaoshan wanted to say the name of the born evil cultivator, but when the words came to his lips, a pair of cold and sharp black eyes suddenly appeared in his mind, and he unconsciously changed the target: "Qin Xiao."

"Yuhua Qin's family? I heard from Dong Muqi that this kid is very interesting. He even hurt him. Hahaha..." Shen Hao thought of Dong Muqi's face yesterday and said with glee.

"Who are you betting on?" Feng Yaoshan asked with a smile.

"Me? Well... then let's say I'm from the Mo family. What's his name... Mo Hanyu?" Shen Hao thought for a while and said.

"Don't you think highly of him?" Feng Yaoshan was a little surprised.

"When did I say that?" Shen Hao turned his head and looked towards the dormitory, and saw someone coming, but his mouth twitched after seeing that.

"Are these two taking a walk?" Shen Hao couldn't help but ask.

Qin Xiao and Mo Hanyu walked towards this side slowly, as if they were not in a hurry at all.

"Run!" Shen Hao couldn't help but shouted angrily.

Mo Hanyu was startled by the roar and instinctively ran away in obedience.

Qin Xiao paused for a moment, but still ran over.

It is possible that Qin Xiao's legs were slightly longer, so he ran ahead of Mo Hanyu in the last step and arrived first.

Although Qin Xiao and Mo Hanyu didn't think anything was wrong, Feng Yaoshan and Shen Hao experienced great joy and great sorrow one after another.

Feng Yaoshan's heart almost jumped out of his chest when he saw Qin Xiao running towards him leisurely, but because of the bet he couldn't warn him, so he could only watch Qin Xiao running slowly without any hurry. When he overtook Qin Xiao in the last step, he smiled so hard that his mouth split open.

Shin Hao is just the opposite.

Shen Hao was so angry that his lungs were about to explode.

"Are you a turtle? A waste? Why can't you run faster? Will you be exhausted to death if you run faster?!!" Shen Hao's heart was bleeding, and his eyes scraped Mo Hanyu as if he wanted to scrape him into pieces.

Mo Hanyu didn't understand and looked at him in confusion.

Shen Hao became even angrier when he met Mo Hanyu's eyes.

"Can't you run faster? Are you a snail? It would be fine if you just walked here slowly, but you're standing here leisurely when I told you to run. What? Are you taking a walk?" Shen Hao's eyes seemed to want to eat him alive.

"And you!" Shen Hao turned his spearhead towards Qin Xiao again. "You look so careless, but you are actually quite thoughtful, right? You surpassed me in the last step, so why can't I kill you?"

Qin Xiao was puzzled and thought he was very noisy. He frowned slightly and asked, "It seems that we are not late."

"Of course I know you're not late! You—"

Qin Xiao's eyes turned cold. The man's voice made his cochlear ears hurt. Although he didn't know why he was so excited, it was obviously because of the two of them. However, they were not late and should not have been condemned.

Shen Hao stared at him for a long time, and was speechless for a moment, then said: "Also, didn't I tell you that you have to report after gathering here! You have to report your number! Answer me, Mo Hanyu, which number are you?"

Although Mo Hanyu didn't understand, he still answered: "Number 33."

Shen Hao said sarcastically: "Hey, don't you know your number? When I saw you standing here just now, I thought you didn't know it, and I thought you were mute."

Didn't you give us the chance to report?

Mo Hanyu frowned and wanted to say something, but he held it back and said nothing.

"Okay, okay, Teacher Shen. Don't bother with them." Feng Yaoshan came out and said with a smile.

Shen Hao gave him a cold look, snorted, crossed his arms angrily, turned his head and said nothing more.

"Number 52 Yin Xihui, reporting in."

Yin Xihui, who had just arrived, felt that the atmosphere was not right. He looked here and there and reported timidly.

Feng Yaoshan glanced at him and said with a smile: "Stand still. Remember to just report your number from now on."

Yin Xihui was stunned: "Yes."

Qin Xiao retracted his gaze and stood aside without saying a word, his deep black eyes watching the children who came in one after another.

"Too slow, too slow!" Shen Hao said angrily, "Didn't I say yesterday that we had to assemble within a quarter of an hour? It's already been almost an hour! You simply didn't take my words to heart!"

A child with a number "7" on his chest seemed a little dissatisfied and muttered quietly: "It's too early, and the whistle is so soft, who can hear it..."

When Qin Xiao heard the first half of the child's words, he suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart. Sure enough, before the child finished speaking, a murderous aura whizzed past Qin Xiao.

In an instant, the child flew backwards and fell heavily to the ground.

When everyone turned around to look at him curiously, they couldn't help but gasp.

The child was seen spitting blood from his mouth, his right arm was twisted into a horrible arc, a large area of ​​his chest was sunken, and his leg muscles were almost beaten into a pulp by the brute force just now.

Qin Xiao looked at him coldly.

He was attacked in the chest, and it appears that his sternum is sunken, his lungs are severely damaged, his arm bones are broken, and his leg muscles are eroded. There is no way he can be saved.

Qin Xiao thought about it and turned his head.

The sternum had pierced his heart, and blood was gushing out of his mouth and nose, and his chest was sunken, which meant that the blood vessels in his lungs were ruptured and blood was flowing back into his breathing tube...

Mortal.

Qin Xiao did not watch it again, he was not interested in something that already had a known ending. Unless the child had a very high healing talent and protected his heart at that moment, or could absorb the life of plants and trees to repair his wounds like him, he would definitely die.

Qin Xiao thought about it and felt that the atmosphere was not right.

I looked up and saw that the faces of the people around me were blank, or rather, their thoughts were imprinted on their faces, showing this look.

Slowly, some people finally realized what was happening and began to tremble and shake uncontrollably.

Following a violent retching sound, as if it was contagious, other children began to retch one after another.

The child's miserable condition successfully aroused fear among the other children, and an ominous atmosphere grew thicker among the crowd.

This strong feeling of suffocation came over them, spreading through the crowd like a toxin. Their limbs seemed to be frozen, and their numb brains could only issue trembling commands under the control of fear, making them tremble non-stop, but unable to think of anything.

Mo Hanyu was not very scared because he had seen a similar tragic scene in that store before, but he couldn't help feeling some pity.

At this time, the sun had already slightly appeared, and the golden sunlight was shining on the training ground, but it did not bring any warmth to the children present.

The child was still a little angry, but obviously not a lot of air, the kind that only took in but not let out.

Qin Xiao looked at him and suddenly thought of a word, "breath as if hanging on a thread".

This word should be suitable for him.

Qin Xiao thought of something and looked at Mo Hanyu. Seeing that the child was not shaking or retching like the others, he felt relieved.

But Qin Xiao actually didn’t quite understand.

"Why do they feel fear?" Qin Xiao asked in a low voice.

Fortunately, Mo Hanyu had come back to his senses long ago, so he could hear his words in time and give an answer: "Some are frightened by such a scene, and some are afraid that such a scene will happen to them."

Qin Xiao nodded, not quite understanding, "Really?"

Feng Yaoshan glanced at the two of them in surprise, and obviously noticed that their reactions were completely different from those of others.

Feng Yaoshan narrowed his eyes. He was now somewhat curious about how their parents educated them and what kind of environment they grew up in to be able to converse freely in such a scenario.

Qin Xiao turned his head as if sensing something, but found that Feng Yaoshan was not looking at him, and he couldn't help but frowned.

He found that Feng Yaoshan's smile remained unchanged, as if he was used to it.

This is definitely not the first time that Shen Hao has attacked a child.

"I've told you, haven't I? When you come here, you have to be prepared at all times. No one will give in to you here. I don't care what kind of environment you have been in before, but here, now, you have to listen to me."

Shen Hao's deep voice poured into the children present like a devil's sound, and everyone couldn't help but tremble.

"Just listen to me when I lecture you, unless you are confident that you can survive me. Otherwise, you will be like him..."

"In fact, even if I don't take action, he will still die in the end. He is someone who doesn't obey orders and discipline. He is destined not to listen to us and will not take these training seriously. He will die in the mountains. In this case, it is better to kill him at the beginning to save him from wasting so many resources."

After something like this happened, Shen Hao's cold words were sure to leave a deep impression on everyone.

Like other children, Yin Xihui looked at the boy who was still struggling in pain, but there was no fear or pity in his eyes.

He just watched quietly, his black eyes becoming deeper and deeper, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking.

"On the count of three, stand still."

Shen Hao's devilish voice sounded again.

This time, before he could count to three, everyone turned their heads back in shock, forcing themselves not to look at the boy who was still making the sound.

The atmosphere was almost frozen, and the children lowered their heads, wishing they could learn to become invisible in an instant and disappear in front of Shen Hao.

Mo Hanyu frowned slightly. He still felt a little bit reluctant to see the child still groaning in pain.

When Yin Xihui saw Shen Hao looking at him, he instinctively raised the corners of his mouth, but then seemed to realize something and lowered his mouth again.

Qin Xiao's expression remained unchanged, he just felt that the child's voice was annoying, so he might as well just give him a quick death.

And there was another child whose face was full of confusion, as if he didn't realize what was happening.

Shen Hao couldn't help but look at him again.

The boy had a tag with the number "2" on his chest, and his confused eyes made Shen Hao feel confused as well.

If the first three people were indifferent, this kid seemed to have no idea what was going on and was looking at him stupidly...

Like a fool.

The child's panting finally stopped.

died.

Feng Yaoshan sighed in his heart, raised his hand gently, and a vermilion bracelet on his wrist flashed red light, and the little human corpse disappeared.

Feng Yaoshan raised his hand and drew something on the small notebook.

Qin Xiao calmly gathered his vital energy in his eyes. In an instant, his pupils turned blood red, and the world became reduced to only black, white, and gray.

Qin Xiao quickly glanced at Feng Yaoshan's notebook and saw what Feng Yaoshan was drawing through the cover.

Qin Xiao blinked, and the red color quickly disappeared.

In that notebook were each of their numbers, names, families, cities and countries.

That is the information of the children present.

Qin Xiao frowned slightly, and Feng Yaoshan crossed out an entire page of information about the child.

Once you die, it’s crossed out.

But...are there so many families that have signed the agreement?

Qin Xiao thought of what Yin Xihui said. According to what he said, there were quite a lot of these people.

For what?

Qin Xiao wanted to know, something that could make so many families sign it, either because they had huge benefits - but judging from the performance of Qin Xiuyun and the others, it didn't seem like that - or they were coerced.

But who can coerce them?

Qin Xiao recalled the conversation between Qin Xiuyun and Qin Jichen at that time. They said that there were even royal children. He didn't think that the royal family of a country would be coerced into sending the prince here.

So what is the reason?

Judging from Shen Hao's performance, he seems to not care about the identities of these children or their life or death. What is he relying on?

Qin Xiao frowned.

He couldn't figure it out.
