The Immortal God of War

To be honest, I would never believe that the selection of the top 16 was done by a draw that was even more exaggerated than the auditions.

The top 32 directly became the top 16 in the draw. After the top 16 were confirmed, the opponent for the next round of the quarterfinals was also drawn, and her name looked like a female name.

Because it was a specific competition period in the academy, Liu Chi as a contestant had the right not to go to class. In addition, the competition had not yet developed into an open ring match, so the only people present were basically the contestants and spectators who were unaware of the truth.

After being confirmed as a top 16 player, Liu Chi did not rush to sleep, as he would have three days of training before the quarterfinals. So Liu Chi and I discussed what to do.

"Zhu Xiu, are you there?"

"how?"

"With my current strength, it will be difficult for me to enter the quarterfinals. I must think of a way to improve my strength within these three short days. What do you have in mind?"

I didn't expect that this was the first time he took the initiative to negotiate with me. I was so excited that I almost shed tears.

"How about going to find Qingyan and try out the special training that Lilith mentioned?"

My question is tentative and the decision lies with Liu Chi.

"Are you sure it will work?"

"What else can I think of?"

As if he had been thinking about it for a long time, Liu Chi nodded.

"Let's try it first."

Soon they arrived at the residence and found Qingyan and Lilith in the study.

"Master? Why are you here?"

Lilith seemed very excited to see Liuchi.

"I'm very curious about the special training you mentioned, so I want to give it a try."

To be honest, I am also curious about what kind of special training this is that can make a girl who is so skinny that her bones are visible undergo such amazing changes in a short period of time.

"Special training?"

Qingyan raised her head and smiled excitedly.

I don't know why, but Qingyan's smile startled me. I don't know how Liu Chi felt about it. I could sense that he didn't have any inner feelings.

"Can you see the effect of your special training in three days?"

“It depends on what effect you want.”

Qingyan kept smiling and looked into Liuchi's eyes, as if she was expecting something.

"Not too demanding, just a swordsman."

"Huh!? Three days?"

Qingyan tilted her head to one side, her bright big eyes blinking rapidly. She turned around, quickly stood up, grabbed Liu Chi's hand and walked out of the study.

"Lilith, let's go to the old place. Master, I'll go there first. I'm in a hurry."

In the air, I don’t know whether Lilith answered or not. What I know is that Liu Chi was carried on Qing Yan’s shoulders, and the latter jumped directly out of the window.

Qing Yan's whole body was glowing with a faint red light. She tapped the outer wall of the tall building a few times and then fell to the ground.

All that was left in my field of vision were two rapidly swinging legs and buildings that rose and fell. As my sight gradually became tired, I didn't expect that Liu Chi actually fell asleep in such a situation.

When he opened his eyes again, the dazzling sunlight shone directly into Liu Chi's eyes. Liu Chi did not look away but opened his eyes wide.

“Is the sunshine nice?”

“It’s not pretty, but it’s dazzling.”

"You know it's dazzling, so you should start special training as soon as you wake up. Unless you are gifted, with your physique, it will be difficult even if I give you half a year."

"My physique? Do you know?"

"Well, the stinky old man told me that you have an extremely rare physique that resists magic. Usually people with this physique will die at the age of one or two. I don't know how you survived. Could it be that the royal family has a secret recipe?"

"Can't I absorb the natural magic to sustain my life?"

"Yes, it is impossible for such a physique to exist. It is a miracle among miracles that someone can survive as long as you have. How do you know the characteristics of the anti-magic physique?"

"I only know that I can't absorb natural magic. I have done research on this. Without sustainable magic, the human body will dry up and die. As for why I won't dry up, I don't understand."

"Okay, let's not waste our time talking. Including this afternoon, we still have three and a half days."

When Liu Chi climbed up, I realized that there were dense trees all around, as if there was a sudden fault, leaving a bare circular open space, and Liu Chi was now right in the center of the open space.

"This piece of land is a barrier created by the old man using space magic. It cannot be seen from outside the barrier. Don't worry, no one can get in without permission. You can practice freely."

"Hmm? Then we're almost ready to start. What's your special training?"

"First, if you want to fight a melee warrior without losing, then your physical fitness must keep up with the opponent, so you should run around this open space as hard as you can. I will make a plan for you based on your performance."

After Qingyan finished speaking seriously and solemnly, Liuchi nodded and slowly walked towards the edge of the circular open space.

"Can you do this?" Qingyan shouted from behind.

I know very well that Liu Chi is definitely not capable of this. Even if I were asked to run a lap here with all my might, I cannot guarantee that I can do it without taking a breath.

According to my visual observation, the radius of this circular open space is about 300 meters, and one lap is about two kilometers. It is noon now, and the temperature is almost that of early summer.

"Just believe me, okay? If I, Liu Chi, failed because of such a small matter, there would be no need for me to come here."

I fully agree with Liu Chi. Although I said so, Liu Chi's performance made me speechless. I could even say that I was so angry that I laughed.

I saw Liu Chi ran only a few steps before his mouth opened wide and his rapid breathing was very loud. I guess if there was someone else around, he would definitely think that Liu Chi was about to die.

My vision also became a little dim due to the "violent" exercise in Liuchi, and I was very clear that this was due to lack of oxygen.

As time passed slowly, Liu Chi finally ran the lap with all his might.

After running a full lap, Liu Chi shook his head violently, his mouth filled with the taste of blood, and walked towards Qing Yan's position.

"Finished the run? Not bad, not bad."

Qing Yan sat under the shade of a tree at the edge of the barrier, holding a dagger in both hands, and pushed the dirt in the pit in front of her out bit by bit.

Liu Chi took a few deep breaths and swallowed.

"What should we do next?"

"It's simple. There are wild rabbits nearby. Catch as many as you can. You must come back when the sun reaches that position."

Looking in the direction of Qingyan's finger, all I saw was lush leaves.

"Okay, wait for me!" Liu Chi walked towards the jungle behind Qing Yan.

After walking a few steps, a tap on the right shoulder startled both Liu Chi and me.

"I forgot to tell you, if you are in danger or lost, break this."

Qingyan grabbed Liu Chi's left hand and handed him a "glass bead" with a flame in the center. I recalled that this is a common intermediate magic, which seals one's own elemental magic with non-attribute magic. Within a certain range, if the elemental magic leaks, one will sense it. This magic is generally used for wartime signals, but it also has very serious drawbacks.

Liu Chi quickly pulled back his hand in shock.

"Ha~" Qingyan's eyes were full of the smartness of a young girl. I had no idea what this girl was thinking. Instead, Liu Chi was like a young wife who had suffered grievances. She took the things and ran away without looking back.

"I think Qingyan is still interested in you."

"That's best. It's better than her hating me."

"Huh~? Are you so cold to her? I think she's nice."

“Ha~~! Haha~”

Liu Chi suddenly sneered, as if he was very disdainful.

"I don't know manners and I love to make trouble. I can't accept that."

Liu Chi stopped and said this. It seems that this boy has not changed his aristocratic "bad habits" since he was a child. How should I put it? Liu Chi is a typical double standard dog. In my opinion, he has a lot of problems. Of course, others may also think that I have a lot of problems when they look at me. I did not explain this to Liu Chi.

"Are you sure you can catch the rabbit?"

"Don't worry, Qingyan never thought that I could catch the rabbit."

After listening to Liu Chi's words, I realized that this kid's understanding was actually lower than mine. Thinking deeply, it was indeed impossible for Liu Chi to catch a hare.

Looking back, I also had the experience of catching rabbits, the big white rabbits sold in pet shops. It can be said that due to individual differences in the jungle, rabbits can easily reach places that experts cannot reach.

"If what you said is true, Qingyan must be observing you somewhere right now, so what are you going to do?"

"Let's just make do with it."

"I've learned it!" I was a little surprised. Liu Chi has never read The Art of War, so this information can only come from my memory.

"Since she wants me to be in danger, I should cooperate with her."

Liu Chi half-knelt down and cleared the weeds in front of him. He put his ear to the ground he had just cleared, closed his eyes, and quietly felt the vibrations of the ground.

I don't know if it's because I don't have control over my body, but I simply heard the tiny fluctuations nearby. I am sure that there is no danger nearby, they are just some small creatures less than half a meter in size.

Liu Chi looked like he had just woken up. He tilted his head and looked forward with his eyes shining. Then he frowned slightly and locked his sight on a certain part of the forest.

Liu Chi's actions really surprised me. I wondered if he had discovered something. I felt itchy inside, so I asked him,

"What did you find?!"

"Hush! Keep your voice down. You'll know when we get there."

Curiosity kills the cat, this question yielded no results, and now I feel even more upset.

Up to this point, I have never agreed that Liu Chi's abilities are greater than mine. Even a few months ago, I always considered myself unlucky because I had to "spend my life" with a mentally disabled person.

Okay, I admit that I was jealous of him. Thinking of this, I suddenly felt a lot better. Thinking deeper, Liu Chi and I had already shared memories, so it was actually no different from being the same person. I felt relieved.
