Chapter 78
78 - Staying on a Deserted Island
"That Xia Ping is really something. How on earth did he do it?"
"I can accept the messing around with a dozen plus girls. But now there are two goddesses compete over him. Is there still justice in the world? Truly abominable."
"Isn't it? How on earth did Xia Ping train his women? Why haven't they torn him to pieces?"
"His way of doing things is amazing. Although the scoundrel is a scumbag, but he has skill."
"Skill my ass. What's so great about harming good women."
Many students stared at Xia Ping with grief and indignation. They have puzzled looks on their faces, unable to understand what's happening. It's absurd.
When he heard these words, Xia Ping didn't feel the least bit guilty. It's clear to see that there's a conflict between the two girls, which is why they chose to compete on their own. What does that have to do with him? Why are they putting the blame on him?
When Jiang Yaru heard these words, her pretty face darkened. She almost couldn't hold it in. Who is competing over a man, who was taught by whom? Is she that pathetic?
This was just a normal competition. But then these scoundrels came in, and it suddenly became a competition over a man in their lips. How despicable.
"Forget it."
Thinking till here, Jiang Yaru felt that she should endure it. After all, even if she tried to explain, no one will believe her. They will think that she's lying.
In short, the more you pay attention to rumors, the faster they spread.
Ding dong~
At this time, a sound rose inside the airship, and then a middle-aged man in military uniform appeared on a large screen in front. The man has a square face and an imposing look in his eyes.
Even though the screen, the people present can feel the murderous aura lingering around the other party. This is definitely a Martial Practitioner realm powerhouse, and an extremely powerful one at that.
All of a sudden, the students in the aircraft stopped talking, seemingly intimidated by the other party's aura.
"Hello, everyone. I am Luo Jian, the captain of this airship. I'm a military veteran. I trust that everyone knows that I am responsible for taking you to Savage Beast Island for you to learn through experience."
Luo Jian, a middle-aged man in military uniform, introduced himself in a solemn tone: "However, I don't think you know what sort of place Savage Beast Island is, do you? Let me give you a brief explanation."
"It is a huge island east of Skywater City, located 3,000 kilometers away. Even when going by aircraft, it takes three or four hours to reach it. It's a long journey."
"Of course, the distance isn't a problem. The island covers a large area, no less than 100,000 square kilometers. It is covered with dense forests, mountains, rivers, valleys, and so on. In short, it's geography is complicated."
When he reached this point, he changed the subject, "The most important thing is that there are countless savage beasts and monstrous beasts living there. These beasts are extremely powerful, bloodthirsty, and cruel. Furthermore, there are some poisonous snakes and insects. It's a real jungle there."
"In the next five days, you will have to stay on this island for experience. We won't provide you with any help and you can't take any food with you."
"But you can bring equipment such as weapons and so on."
Everyone turned stern. After all, they are aware how difficult it is to stay on a deserted island. Even if it's only for five days, but it's still rather difficult. Not to mention that there are terrifying savage beasts that can devour them at any time on the island.
Xia Ping's eyes twinkled. 100,000 square kilometers, that's quite large. Even in his previous lives, the island of Taiwan only had an area of 30,000 plus square kilometers. But Savage Beast Island is no less that 100,000 square kilometers large. It's at least three times as big.
Moreover, they can't bring any food. They will live completely in the wild. For modern people who lead urban lives, this is hardship.
"Given that this trial by fire is dangerous to a certain extent."
Captain Luo Jian carried on, "You will receive a GPS watch, which will display your positioning information. This will enable us to grasp your location on Savage Beast Island."
"If anyone is in danger, or wants to quit the trial by fire, you may press the button located on top of the watch. Someone will set off at once to rescue."
"However, you must keep in mind that once you press this button, it means that you have given up on the trial by fire."
He waved his hand, and some crew members came out of a door with black watches and distributed them to the students.
Xia Ping also took one and put it on his right wrist. The watch has a button and a screen displaying some map on top.
"In order to make things more exciting, you can't hide as soon as you set foot on the Savage Beast Island. That would make the experience meaningless. Therefore, we decided to set up a game during the trial by fire."
Captain Luo Jian smiled lightly: "You can bring back the left ear of monstrous beasts you have hunted on the island. The more and stronger monstrous beasts you hunt, the more points you will get."
"The person with the most points will get five Body Tempering Pills, the second place will get three pills, and the third place will get one. Furthermore, if you have an excellent performance, you will get a special reward."
He dropped the serious information.
What?!
The students erupted into a commotion, stunned. It should be noted that most of the students present don't have a superior family background and thus ordinarily cannot afford to buy precious pills such as Body Tempering Pill.
The cost of just a single Body Tempering Pill is enough for some families to struggle for more than ten years.
But if you take first place in this game, you will be able to get five Body Tempering Pills. It's like manna falling from heaven.
"I must get first place."
Jiang Yaru's beautiful eyes brightened, and she clenched her small fists, revealing burning fighting spirit. If she can get her hands on the Body Tempering Pills, she will be able to easily advance to 8th layer Martial Apprentice.
Some other outstanding students have the same thought as her. One such pill is enough to save them several months of cultivation. This is a great opportunity.
Xia Ping's expression is tranquil. Regarding Body Strengthening Pills, he obtained a bunch of them. Mere five pills can't pique his interest. However, no matter how small a mosquito is, it still has a little meat.
No one would dislike having more pills and potions.
"Alright, that's the end of the explanation. Let's set off." Captain Luo Jian waved his hand and gave an order.
Boom~
At this moment, the airship shook. It soared into the air with a whoosh and flew high into the sky. The students can see the outside through windows. They are getting farther and farther away from the ground.
The airship is very fast and is equipped with an excellent internal gravity system. You can hardly feel any vibration. A glass of water can be placed on the table without spilling.
"Jiang Yaru."
Just as the airship started heading steadily for the Savage Beast Island, a group of people came over from a distance. Among them, a young man in white greeted Jiang Yaru.
