When it comes to Guandong, the first word Du Yu associates with it is "venturing."
Like the last life, Great Xia's Guandong also has a large population of migrants.
In fact, Great Xia's north, east, and southeastern coastal areas all have a considerable number of migrating people.
Because the southwest region is the place where war is most brutal, and it's the main battlefield, the location of the Kunlun Divine Tree.
Regarding Guandong, the second word Du Yu thinks of is "fertile lands stretching for thousands of miles."
Unfortunately, Du Yu flew to Shuangqi City.
If he took the high-speed train, he should be able to see the legendary black soil firsthand, right?
As the civil aviation plane landed on the runway, the taxiing speed gradually slowed, and Li Mengnan unfastened her seatbelt, feeling a little excited: "I heard chicken skewers in Qi City are famous."
Du Yu looked out the plane window and casually said, "Let's go have some later."
"Yeah, yeah." Li Mengnan nodded repeatedly, muttering quietly, "Eating biscuits every day, I'm so tired of them."
During this time, the girl was indeed very diligent, especially after Du Yu delivered the exam announcement into the Sea Realm, Li Mengnan automatically entered "pre-exam sprint" mode.
With a clear goal, all she thought about was advancing to the Peak Stage.
In the Demon Taming World, hierarchy is strict.
Even missing a Small Tier makes a significant difference.
Heavenly blessings!
Li Mengnan advanced, but not under the Firethorn Tree.
Du Yu understood her urgency and utilized some unconventional means.
He took her to the Mountain Realm!
Jia Rong Grass, Fire and Earth Dual Attribute, both at Saint Level!
Who lets us have this advantage~
With Du Yu's intervention request, Jia Rong Grass enveloped the girl, much like how the Shatang Tree cared for Lin Shiwei.
Deep red grass leaves wove into a cocoon, allowing Li Mengnan to bathe in pure and dense Fire Demon Breath, giving her special treatment for 4 days.
These days, Li Mengnan who longed to cross the threshold, dare not waste a moment, ate compressed biscuits for 4 days, and... a few Jia Rong Fruits.
The Saint Level Jia Rong Grass did not disappoint, facing Li Mengnan who was just one step away, Jia Rong lifted her foot and kicked her into the door of the Peak Stage...
"Let's go." Lin Shiwei stood up and beckoned the two, "Shi Hao is here to pick us up."
"The Red Team's leader?" Li Mengnan said with a cheerful smile, ever since she was brought out from the Mountain Realm by Du Yu last night, her mood has been beautiful.
The joy of advancement is from inside out, last night at home, Du Yu could hear the girl's singing across the guest room and bathroom doors.
Truth be told, she sings quite beautifully~
Little Tai Sui also advanced, but he was very steady.
Tai Sui doesn't have the "pre-exam sprint," everything naturally falls into place.
Lin Shiwei: "Yes, since the last meeting, it's been half a year."
Li Mengnan regrettably said: "Oh, my poor niece."
Du Yu: "..."
Lin Shumeng didn't make it into the top 25, excluded from the Ancient Wilderness City review.
Now, she can't call out "Little Uncle" anymore.
In the cavalry squad led by Lin Shiwei, only the "team mascot" Lin Shumeng fell behind, but she lived up to the mascot name.
In fact, Hu Haobin was also in danger because his ranking was just 25.
The same for the cavalry squad's two sabers, Dong Yujun ranked 15th.
Both had the same roles in the team, performed the same tasks, even their effects were consistent, but their scores had a noticeable difference.
Clearly, the judges paid close attention to details when giving comprehensive scores.
"Here!" Among the crowd at the station exit, the tall and strong Hu Haobin saw the trio walk out and waved repeatedly.
Du Yu, as usual, wore a baseball cap, very low-key.
He wore a grey T-shirt and shorts, indistinguishable from ordinary students.
Du Yu wanted to blend in with the crowd, but the two girls' beauty made it impossible.
Lin Shiwei was slightly better, also wearing a hat, but her beautiful martial artist-specific body lines would make people imagine her beauty.
Not to mention the killer move Li Mengnan...
Realizing the attention of the crowd, Du Yu felt a bit regretful, maybe he shouldn't have taken his brother out of the Mountain Realm yesterday!
Wait until they arrived at their destination to pick her up, this way, they could save a plane ticket, right?
"Haha!" Lin Shihao strode forward, hugged Du Yu, patted his back heavily, but his voice was small, "Be honest with me, did you advance to Great Demon Tamer?"
Du Yu: "Not quite yet."
"Huh?" Lin Shihao was stunned for a moment, "Wasn't it you who summoned the Celestial Fire within the Mountain Fire Saber back then?"
Du Yu: "Indeed, it was me, how did you know?"
Lin Shihao: "At that time I was in the Underground Training Camp, because of the Celestial Fire, I got trapped underground for several days.
Later I asked Brother Chuan, he told me. I messaged you, but you didn't reply."
Du Yu: "..."
Lin Shihao seemed to realize something, whispered, "You failed?"
For a moment, Du Yu didn't know how to explain.
"How long will you two hug?" Nearby, Lin Shiwei's teasing voice came.
"Ah, sorry, sorry, got excited." Lin Shihao smiled apologetically and immediately stepped back.
He knew all too well he possibly stepped on a landmine.
All blame Brother Chuan's ambiguous words, if he'd known Du Yu failed, who would have brought it up!
Lin Shiwei stepped forward, straightened out the creases on Du Yu's clothes, casually brushed off the dust.
Lin Shihao: "..."
Am I dirty?
"Let's go." Li Mengnan hugged Lin Shiwei's arm, "Let's go eat."
Old friends reuniting, sharing the same task, naturally formed a team.
However, Lin Shihao secretly exchanged a few words with Hu Haobin and Dong Yujun, and the two understood without mentioning anything about power tiers.
In fact, before meeting Du Yu, everyone was very curious about Du Yu's strength level.
After all, this was Shaohai's number one Paper Crane Disciple. If their team really had a Great Demon Tamer, wouldn't the top spot be theirs for the taking?
"You guys don't have luggage?" The group arrived in front of the rented seven-seater car, and Dong Yujun curiously asked.
Lin Shiwei responded directly, "Let's go have some barbecue."
"Yes, yes, yes! Barbecue!" Li Mengnan quickly agreed, looking like a little foodie.
"What a coincidence." Lin Shihao smiled and said, "That's exactly where we booked, a barbecue place."
Seeing that the others were reluctant to respond, Dong Yujun stopped asking and directly got into the driver's seat.
The airport was not close to the city center, and as they chatted along the way, Lin Shihao found an opportunity and interjected, "This exam should still be a team task, and it's based on provinces."
Lin Shiwei: "Is your information reliable?"
Lin Shihao nodded decisively, "It should be accurate. A couple of days ago, the people from the Liu Family in the provincial capital called me."
"Liu Family?" Li Mengnan immediately remembered the group of resistant Blue Team members from last semester's final exam.
The girl didn't have a good impression of those leading figures in the Liu Family.
Especially the core member of the Blue Team, Liu Junting, who was blown away by Du Yu with an arrow...
That scene was really spectacular!
Thinking about it now, it still feels satisfying~
Lin Shihao: "The call was from Liu Juncai; she was the core leader of the Blue Team back then."
"I remember." Du Yu nodded, recalling the tragic scene back then, "She planned on a mutual destruction with me."
Li Mengnan pouted, "I remember too! She's the one who detonated herself~"
Lin Shiwei asked, "What did she want from you?"
Lin Shihao: "To join forces. We used to be opponents, but now we're teammates."
As he spoke, Lin Shihao also carefully observed everyone's reactions.
Besides Li Mengnan pouting, Du Yu and Lin Shiwei didn't show any special reactions.
Lin Shihao couldn't help but feel relieved!
Back then, they were opponents, and for their respective factions, to win the war, they naturally used all means necessary.
But now, they're comrades in the same trench!
The fear was that past conflicts and lingering animosity would affect the entire team.
In fact, the issue faced by the Lin Family team was also occurring in several other provinces.
During last semester's final exams, the provincial exams of Guandong, Shandai, and Hening were also battles between factions.
Each province selected the top 25 students, and although the winning side would have more members, there would inevitably be some from the losing side as well.
Those who ranked high were naturally those who performed well in the confrontation.
The better a student performed in the confrontation, the more likely they were to be resented by the opposite side!
"So... no issues?" Lin Shihao inquired with a probing look.
This unquestionably core leader of the Red Team was somewhat cautious when facing Du Yu.
Lin Shiwei also glanced at Du Yu before saying to Lin Shihao, "We were the victors, essentially the aggressors, so what problems could we have?"
Lin Shihao: "..."
Indeed!
Du Yu first went solo and blew up the leading figure of the Blue Team, Liu Junting, setting the tone for the entire match.
Then he led his team to swallow up that Blue Team squad, taking with them Liu Junchi.
In the crisis, with Lin Shiwei in red snow deer attire mired in a quagmire, Du Yu sent an arrow south, shattering the orb of Special Forces' General Liu Junxing.
Later, he publicly executed Liu Junzhen.
This Blue Team general, who led the Earth Rhinoceros Race and stirred the iron tide, was sent skyward by the Dust Spirit Deer.
Under the eyes of students from both sides, Du Yu shot an arrow into the sky, detonating a spark splash, decisively taking down this Blue Team general.
The Blue Team's main strategist, Liu Juncai, could be said to have used every tactic, exhausting all resources, but ultimately couldn't reverse the tide.
In the end, Liu Juncai, with a mindset of mutual destruction, charged at Du Yu.
But her trump card still failed to succeed.
When the Spirit Level Mud Po Goddess Sculpture was restrained, Du Yu and Li Mengnan still stood on the stage.
Du Yu had seen at least 5 of the Liu Family's Eight Steed, and he had dispatched them one after the other...
So, if anyone should feel discontented and furious, it shouldn't be the victorious Du Yu but the defeated Blue Team members.
Lin Shihao spoke up, "As long as there's no problem, the Liu Family members are waiting for us at the barbecue restaurant, Ye Xihai is hosting them."
Ye Xihai, the former leader of the Zone Five flag protection team.
Hearing this familiar name again, Du Yu couldn't help but recall the scenes of fighting side by side.
Du Yu suddenly asked, "Where's Brother Jiang?"
"Brother Jiang." Lin Shihao sighed deeply, "Brother Jiang is at the hotel. At that time, I'm afraid you and Shiwei will have to go get him."
"Hehe." Du Yu thought of the silent bald head and immediately laughed.
Everything has returned.
Shaohai elites gathered together.
This Ancient Wilderness City - the four-province battle, will be a fierce fight!
