"Young man, how co you're here? Did you co specifically to find us?" Three girls spotted Lin Shen and ran over with a hint of excitent.
"I'm here to enroll in a training camp, I didn't expect there to be so many. Do you know where there is a very famous instructor with the last na Mu?" Lin Shen asked.
"A very famous instructor nad Mu... I don't think I've heard of him... Have you guys?" Xu Yiyi looked towards Bai Shanshan and Yu Shishi with a puzzled expression.
"Let think, a famous instructor nad Mu, I really can't rember." After pondering, Bai Shanshan and Yu Shishi also looked confused.
"Try to think again, it should be a rather famous training camp. Right, Bai Shenfei is from that training camp." Lin Shen felt sothing was amiss—as Instructor Mu should be well-known.
Hearing the na Bai Shenfei, Xu Yiyi and the others suddenly realized, "Young man, are you talking about the Asura Training Camp? It used to be quite famous, but that was over a decade ago, it's not what it used to be."
Bai Shanshan also said, "When you ntioned Bai Shenfei, I rembered. Everyone thought that the Asura Training Camp had closed down years ago, it was only after Bai Shenfei ca out that people learned it was still in operation."
"Young man, I heard there was an incident at the Asura Training Camp where so trainees were abused to death during training, and after that, it gradually went downhill. Now, our Marine Training Camp is the best, if you want to join a training camp, why not co to ours? We'll take care of you." Yu Shishi said this, Bai Shanshan and Xu Yiyi quickly agreed.
Lin Shen then understood why Instructor Mu had been so enthusiastic about inviting him to the training camp—his camp was simply struggling to attract students.
However, having already promised Mu, Lin Shen felt he had to go and see for himself.
After getting directions to the Asura Training Camp, Lin Shen waved goodbye to the three girls.
Before he left, the three girls reiterated their advice to Lin Shen, insisting that if he found the Asura Training Camp unsatisfactory, he must co looking for them at the Marine Training Camp.
Following the directions given by Xu Yiyi and the others, Lin Shen made his way to the southeastern corner of the base, where nurous training camps were situated, but he looked sowhat perplexed upon finding the entrance of the Asura Training Camp.
"Is this really the training camp Xiangdong spoke of?" Looking at the decrepit gate and the overgrown yard within, Lin Shen found it hard to connect this place with the training camp Lin Xiangdong had ntioned.
"How could a training camp that produced soone as famous as Bai Shenfei be in such a state?" Approaching the camp's entrance, the doorman was too lazy to bother with him, allowing him to co and go as he pleased.
Inside the yard, Lin Shen saw a few uniford students running with the speed of an octogenarian, each one sluggish and lacking any zeal.
As Lin Shen watched them, they paused, gasping for air and looking back at him with peculiar expressions.
The training camp was much smaller than he had imagined, consisting only of a large courtyard and a few single-story buildings.
On one of the offices, a sign read "Office." Entering, Lin Shen saw Instructor Mu writing sothing.
"Instructor Mu," Lin Shen called out as he knocked on the door.
Seeing Lin Shen, Instructor Mu was very pleased, gesturing for him to sit and asked with a cheerful smile, "Have you filled out the enrollnt form?"
"I have. Instructor Mu, I've been thinking about it since yesterday. There are so issues back ho, and I'll need to return in a few days. I won't be able to stay here long, so maybe I should hold off on joining the training camp," Lin Shen began to have second thoughts.
"However many days of training you can get is fine. Start learning, and when you head back, I'll make a tailored training program for you. You can continue practicing at ho without it affecting anything," Instructor Mu took the form and glancing at it, picked up the official seal, breathed on it, and stamped it right away.
"The fee for a term is thirteen thousand, please pay it first," Instructor Mu said with a twinkle in his eye.
Lin Shen was sowhat speechless, thinking, "With these conditions at the training camp, to charge a tuition fee of thirteen thousand for a single term is no wonder hardly anyone cos."
Money still had to be paid, otherwise he could not face Lin Miao upon returning ho.
In his heart, Lin Shen knew all along that Instructor Mu himself was skilled.
Once the money was taken, Instructor Mu's expression changed in an instant, his smile vanishing from his face more quickly than a Sichuan opera face-changing act.
"Lin Shen, from now on you are a mber of the Asura Training Camp. While at the camp, you must call Instructor Mu and obey the arrangents during training..."
"I understand, Instructor Mu," Lin Shen stared blankly at Instructor Mu, thinking, "My goodness, he just takes the money and turns into soone else, how can soone do that, it's just too fast."
"Let's go, I'll take you to et your fellow disciples, and you can start training with them in a while." Instructor Mu finished speaking and took Lin Shen out to the yard, picking up a whistle hanging around his neck and blowing it a few tis.
The trainees who were lazily running around ca over one by one, listless and without energy.
"Let introduce you, this is the new trainee Lin Shen. From now on, he's your junior brother. Take good care of him," Instructor Mu finished introducing and then introduced the other few trainees.
There were a total of five people. It was pretty easy to rember everyone, and Instructor Mu also said that Goddess Consort hadn't co to the training camp, so including her, there were now only six of them.
"Alright, you run with them today to warm up. We'll start formal training in the afternoon." Instructor Mu then left.
Lin Shen had just thought about greeting the other trainees when he saw them turn around, continuing to run at a slow pace.
Even old ladies would run faster than them at that speed.
Running behind them, Lin Shen felt he could walk faster than this.
But it was fine by him since Lin Shen wasn't soone who could endure hardship well. He took the slow run as a stroll, a chance to practice stepping on the steps of the Celestial Court.
"Who told you to run?" Instructor Mu ca over again shortly, holding sothing in his hand.
"Wasn't it you who told to run?" Lin Shen asked, puzzled, looking at Instructor Mu.
"I told you to run, but not to run like that. Put this on," Instructor Mu handed a uniform to Lin Shen.
Lin Shen saw that the uniform was loose and unattractive, nothing compared to the uniforms of the Marine Training Camp.
"Thirteen thousand spent, just to wear this thing?" Lin Shen took the uniform and imdiately felt his arms drop, nearly falling to the ground.
"Why is this uniform so heavy?" Lin Shen looked at the uniform on the ground in surprise, while his fellow disciples watched on with a look of anticipation.
"How could we train you if it wasn't heavy? Hurry up and put it on to run. Don't waste ti," Instructor Mu said.
After putting on the uniform, Lin Shen imdiately understood why his fellow disciples ran so awkwardly; with such a heavy item on, running fast would be a miracle.
