I Have the Alchemy Emperor in My Head

Chapter 212 Encountering Danger on the Trail

When Chu Yunfan recalled how Tang Siyu had broken records during the course of her training, he concluded that it was not that surprising after all. Tang Siyu was ridiculously talented. The teachers had placed high hopes on her.

It was just that she had started her training a little later and thus had spent most of her time catching up with everyone. She had yet to truly reveal her brilliance. Unfortunately, Chu Yunfan’s breakthrough was even more exaggerated. Otherwise, the most highly talked about genius right now would definitely be Tang Siyu. In reality, Tang Siyu was also the person who was second only to him in the entire No. 13 High.

At the beginning of the third grade, Tang Siyu was still a few minor stages behind Ou Yang. Under the circumstances where Ou Yang himself had made considerable progress, she had caught up with everyone within one semester. At first glance, this speed was not eye-catching. But after careful calculation, one would realize that it was indeed quite frightening.

Of course, Chu Yunfan was even more of an exaggeration. He was not just a few minor stages behind Ou Yang. A semester ago, he was at least one major stage behind Ou Yang. Now not only had he caught up with all of them, but he had even surpassed Ou Yang by one minor stage.

Thinking back, many things had happened this semester. Chu Yunfan looked at Ou Yang again and felt a strange sensation in his heart. He knew that before Ou Yang knew it, Tang Siyu had already surpassed him. After all, if one did not make a move, only someone like Chu Yunfan who was exceptionally sensitive to auras would be able to sense this.

Ou Yang was startled by Chu Yunfan’s strange gaze. He felt that there was a hint of pity in Chu Yunfan’s eyes. Before they had the time to even exchange a few words, Hua Chengtian strode out and brought everyone to the field. Not long after, a transport plane landed and a squad of soldiers inside escorted everyone onto the plane.

“Everyone, I’m the person in charge of bringing everyone to Training Base No. 15, aka ‘Base 15,’” the camp leader said.

Although he was older than the students, the camp leader did not show any arrogance because his cultivation was no higher than the people before him. He was only at the seventh or eighth level of the Qi Sea Stage, and most of these students were no weaker than him. Some were even far stronger.

However, he was not surprised. He knew that these people were the elites of humanity, the future pillars of talent. If they could not reach this level, then the future of humanity was at stake.

“However, there’s one thing I want to make clear to you first. According to the rules of the camp, you’ll not be sent directly to the base. Instead, you’ll be sent to a place about fifteen kilometeres away from the site. You will be deposited there and you’ll have to make the rest of the way yourselves. Furthermore, you’ll be separated and will have to make it on your own.”

The camp leader’s words caused a slight uproar among the students. Although fifteen kilometers was not very far for them, this was a field battlefield that would be far away from the city. This would be the first time trekking such a distance on their own for many. Other than Chu Yunfan, Tang Siyu, and Gao Hongzhi who had left the city during the winter break, the others had never experienced anything like this.

Chu Yunfan’s spirits were lifted because he knew that the training was about to begin. And they have not even reached the base. This was much earlier than he had expected.

“That’s such a long way to go. What do we do if we encounter any danger?” one of the students asked.

“Base 15 is used to train new recruits, so the nearby areas are usually surrounded by monsters. Generally speaking, you shouldn’t encounter any monsters that are too powerful. This is a form of training for everyone. If you can’t hold out, you can call for help. Later on, a distress device will be issued. However, if you do that, it’ll be considered as an automatic withdrawal from the training camp,” the camp leader said in a steely voice, “That type of person isn’t worthy of being nurtured. All of you will be the elites and pillars of humanity in the future. If you can’t overcome this, I think you should just quit.”

The students felt that the camp leader’s words cut them like a cruel and sharp knife. They might be talented, but if they were unable to become talents that were beneficial to humanity, they would be eliminated. This was inevitable.

Soon, they arrived at the landing point. When the plane got close to the ground, they let the students slide down through the rope. Fortunately, the students were all wearing armor, so there was nothing to worry about.

After a dozen people had gotten off, it was Chu Yunfan’s turn. Tang Siyu and Gao Hongzhi had yet to descend. Chu Yunfan gave them a reassuring smile before sliding down the vertical rope, descending a full hundred meters to the ground below. After a short while, he landed in a patch of weeds.

Upon landing, Chu Yunfan scanned his surroundings. To his left was a forest. Other than that, it was just grasslands with weeds growing all over the place. These weeds were taller than regular weeds. Chu Yunfan instantly became vigilant. In such a place, this terrain was the most dangerous. These weeds blocked one’s line of sight. If monsters were hiding among the weeds, it would be almost impossible to guard against them. It was even more dangerous than being in the forest.

Chu Yunfan opened up an image on his wristwatch. It was a map leading to Base 15. He checked the direction and sighed. Looked like he had to pass through this patch of grassland. Base 15 laid on the other side.

Chu Yunfan pulled out his Shadowless Saber and cut through the dense weeds in front of him, creating a path. Although these weeds had absorbed Spirit Energy and had mutated, growing tall, big, and very hard, they could not withstand his saber. This was also a form of training for Chu Yunfan. The base was only fifteen kilometeres away. It was not far, but it was enough to complete transformation training.

And this was exactly what he needed. He had taken some medicinal pills earlier. In the memories of the Alchemy Emperor, the Emperor had also consumed medicinal pills to grow his strength. The biggest difference between the two was this kind of training.

Through training, Chu Yunfan could convert the pills he had swallowed into strength, whereas the Alchemy Emperor had been obsessed with concocting pills. The Alchemy Emperor was unable to fully utilize the strength from the pills. This was a tragedy that he could not avoid.

Suddenly, at this moment, a patch of weeds shook. Suddenly, an incomparably huge humanoid shadow pounced out.

Chu Yunfan was prepared. He hurriedly retreated. Only then did he see that it was not a human, but a huge bear.
