On the first day of training, after Ma Ziqian and his group decided to roast and eat a hairy cow, Ye Changfeng couldn’t hold back any longer.
"Enough! Don’t you all know that the at of a hairy cow can’t be eaten without processing!" Ye Changfeng exclaid.
"We didn’t know."
Everyone shook their heads innocently.
Ye Changfeng then rembered that these five naive kids had just enrolled in the school this year, only three months into their education. They hadn’t completed the "Extraterritorial Wilderness Simulation Course" yet, nor had they received real training in the extraterritorial wilderness, and thus hadn’t learned about the food of the extraterritorial wilderness.
Normally, students in their third and fourth year, before going to train in the extraterritorial wilderness, would learn various survival skills, including cooking and handling of ingredients, which were essential parts of Ye Changfeng’s course.
However, these five freshn were not a genuine pioneer team but a temporarily ford squad preparing to participate in the competition among elite freshn from nine universities. They hadn’t really prepared before leaving.
Ye Changfeng turned to Xiang Beifei and exclaid, "They might not know, but do you also not know!"
"I didn’t know," Xiang Beifei said sincerely.
He actually knew but just didn’t bother to say.
Because he knew Ye Changfeng would tell them.
Ye Changfeng was completely exasperated. He took the at of the hairy cow and, annoyed, said, "The at of the hairy cow contains a toxic nerve; if you eat it, you won’t see tomorrow’s sun! First, you need to remove it, and then treat the at simply with a type of purple grass leaf to neutralize the remaining toxins. Only then can it be eaten."
He truly was the teacher of the "Extraterritorial Wilderness Simulation Course", a course that specifically teaches how to survive in the extraterritorial wilderness, how to deal with desolate beasts in various dangerous situations, and naturally, includes how to manage food shortages. The knowledge Ye Changfeng possessed was incredibly rich.
Most importantly, Ye Changfeng actually had exceptional cooking skills!
Not only was he well-versed in various wilderness survival skills, but he also knew how to make edible als in the wild.
On the first day, he agreed to cook for the five people as a special benefit for the freshn. Everyone discovered that Ye Changfeng’s cooking skills were impressive, creating delicious and tasty dishes. Nobody expected this composed swordsman to have such a skill hidden up his sleeve.
The second day, Xiang Beifei went out and killed another poisonous desolate beast for dinner. Ye Changfeng originally held himself back, to see if they would notice. But seeing that they were about to eat it, he couldn’t restrain himself any longer, snatched it away, and then chastised everyone while also cooking the al.
The third day, Xiang Beifei dragged back yet another poisonous desolate beast...
The fourth day, there really were a lot of poisonous desolate beasts...
"I must have owed you all in my past life."
Ye Changfeng was about to explode because of Xiang Beifei!
But each ti before cooking, he would ask everyone to gather around. He taught them how to identify poisonous at, how to use the poison of other desolate beasts to neutralize the poison of the current beast, and then instructed them on what to use during roasting to mask the odors, avoiding attracting other desolate beasts with keen senses of sll...
In short, he was a very responsible teacher. Bringing students to the extraterritorial wilderness was not just about teaching them how to battle desolate beasts but also involved teaching all aspects of daily life. Additionally, he imparted his unique seasoning recipes.
After tornting Ye Changfeng for five days, Xiang Beifei also began to seriously learn how to cook. In his view, this matter was also very important; he would explore any aspect he was not proficient in.
The others also seriously treated cooking as an important matter. Eventually, even the pampered Long Guocheng personally followed Ye Changfeng to cook.
Although the things he made were pitch-black and not fit for human consumption.
Li Zimu learned the fastest. He naturally loved eating, and a phrase he often had at the tip of his tongue was "Food can surpass the interest of books by three parts, but books are always less fragrant than food."
Moreover, this guy also ca up with various cooking poems, such as "Don’t laugh at the farr’s muddy new wine, the bountiful year keeps guests with plenty of chicken and pork." He could use his understanding of the Poetry Realm to make a variety of dishes from available ingredients, even turning a few picked fruits into fruit wine with his abilities.
With Li Zimu, there was absolutely no worry of going hungry.
Of course, the condition was that he had to learn to identify whether a desolate beast was poisonous.
Everyone was diligently learning, trying to compensate for their deficiencies. Perhaps because Xiang Beifei led them to defeat about a dozen ridian Opening early stage desolate beasts, their confidence was gradually building.
After continuously refining their skills for ten days, everyone’s teamwork was visibly improving. From initially needing Xiang Beifei to precisely direct each person’s movents, now they didn’t even need Xiang Beifei’s vocal commands; just a movent, a glance, and Li Zimu and others understood exactly how Xiang Beifei wanted them to act.
Even Long Guocheng’s complaints had significantly diminished. On the first day, his pride was deeply hurt, and he was intimidated by Xiang Beifei. The proud Long Guocheng didn’t want to be the team’s weak link, so he rarely questioned Xiang Beifei as he diligently focused on improving himself.
But there were so things, Long Guocheng had to refute.
Every day, Xiang Beifei would summarize the day’s combat experiences, so his teammates at least had an idea, "Today, when killing the lava ghost, we could have ended the battle faster, Long Guocheng, your Radiance Abound needs further improvent…"
"It’s Dazzling Brilliance!"
Long Guocheng gnashed his teeth, saying, "I’ve always been competing with Xiang Beifei on this matter, desperately trying to get the designation corrected."
But Xiang Beifei completely ignored it, continuing, "If you could freely control your ability, our team cooperation would be much easier. You are responsible for providing cover and launching surprise attacks; you must pay attention to how you release your powers. You don’t need to light up imdiately and affect all your teammates—you need to control your ability well and condense the light to use it like a flashlight."
"I have already managed to do so," Long Guocheng said solemnly.
Ten days ago, he still could not control this ability well. Every move he made was dazzlingly bright, blinding everyone, including greatly limiting his teammates.
But now he could control the light, letting it radiate only from his fingertips or concentrating it with his hands into a powerful laser beam. According to what Xiang Beifei said, even just stretching out one finger was enough to act as a flashlight.
It was an ability that Xiang Beifei had forcibly pushed him to master.
Even Long Guocheng had to admit, if it weren’t for Xiang Beifei constantly urging him, he would never have realized his "Dazzling Brilliance" could reach such a level.
"I have a question." Long Guocheng couldn’t hold back, looking angrily at Xiang Beifei, "Why can’t you ever rember what my ability is called?"
"You an your ’Dazzling Brilliance’?" Xiang Beifei asked.
"It’s ’Radiance Abound’! How many tis have I said it! My ability is called ’Radiance Abound’!" Long Guocheng yelled.
Everyone involuntarily shifted their gaze towards Long Guocheng, looking at him strangely.
At first, Long Guocheng didn’t quite understand what was happening. He subconsciously thought that Xiang Beifei had made a mistake again, so he got carried away, and it took him a while to realize his mistake. He hastily said, "Bah! I misspoke! It’s Dazzling Brilliance! Dazzling Brilliance! Not Radiance Abound! Damn it, you misled !"
He was extrely annoyed.
Everyone couldn’t help but laugh.
Ye Changfeng, looking at the team’s atmosphere, also couldn’t help but smile.
A good team isn’t always about serious fighting; it also needs various jokes to lighten the mood.
After a while, Ye Changfeng finally said, "In just ten days, you’ve progressed quite fast, but you can’t be completely complacent. Although you can now collaborate to slay ridian Opening-stage desolate beasts, rember this: other schools’ teams include SSRs at the ridian Opening stage, and their strength is definitely no weaker than yours."
Everyone quieted down.
This was indeed a problem that could not be ignored.
SSR-level Awakeners were already at the ridian Opening stage by now!
Not to ntion, Qingzhou University and Yanzhou University each had two SSR freshn, aning their teams had two people at the ridian Opening stage!
While Liangzhou University did not have any SSRs, the best configuration they could muster was one N and four SRs. Although this N-level was a bit unusual, being the only student who had reached the ridian Opening stage, overall, it seed far inferior at first glance!
"I heard that Qingzhou University and Yanzhou University also have UR freshn," Li Zimu spoke up. "Are they going to compete?"
UR Awakeners!
This year in Jiuzhou, there were only two UR-level Awakeners, one in Qingzhou University and the other in Yanzhou University!
Ye Changfeng pondered for a mont, then said, "UR freshn will not compete, because it would be unfair to the other freshn."
That was a relief; everyone felt a bit more at ease.
Even if the UR students were also at the ridian Opening stage, facing SSRs would easily disadvantage the SSRs due to systemic suppression, unless under so exceptional circumstances, UR Awakeners wouldn’t lose to SSRs.
Ye Changfeng encouraged, "What we need to focus on is the team competition! Although SSRs are powerful, anything could happen in the foreign realms where the desolate beasts reside. We all are going to hunt desolate beasts, scoring by the number we kill, so we might not necessarily lose to them." Your adventure continues at empire
The desolate beasts in the foreign realms wouldn’t just obediently stand there waiting to be killed, so having SSR-level strength only ant killing faster, but it didn’t guarantee finding more desolate beasts.
Despite his words, everyone was still uneasy.
"We have Xiang Beifei! We’re not slow at killing desolate beasts either!" Ye Changfeng raised his voice.
This statent sowhat reassured them. Indeed, the past ten days had made them acutely aware of how terrifying Xiang Beifei’s analytical and judgnt abilities were.
"Alright, don’t think too much about it. Go get so sleep. We head back to school tomorrow morning, rest for a day, and then we will be setting off the day after tomorrow. Tonight, I’ll take the night watch," Ye Changfeng said.
Everyone had to set aside their concerns and then went to rest in the stone houses built by Li Zimu.
