Barrier of Light

The training area of ​​the Kubao Fortress.

A cold wind blows.

Eighteen extraordinary men from the Survey Corps were conducting actual combat exercises. These warriors were physically strong enough. Even in the biting cold wind, several of them still took off their shirts and exposed their upper bodies.

Pairs of two, fighting with physical skills without using their "powers".

There were strong winds in the open space. It was not a cold wind, but a strong wind caused by high-speed movement.

"These people are truly elite."

Zou Hai stood on the high platform of Gubao, watching the drill not far away, and said softly: "They are basically third-level extraordinary people. At worst, they are about to break through the sixth level of the deep sea. Zhong Yuan is bringing the second team this time." Half of the key members have been handed over to Yuan Yuan."

This configuration is indeed amazing.

Lin Lin silently looked down at this scene.

There was no change in his expression.

"But... this is probably the arrangement of the legion commander."

Adjutant Zou continued to talk to himself and murmured: "Perhaps the Legion Commander has already started planning this maze mission."

Thinking about it carefully, Yuan Yuan brought such a group of elites. These people entered the Gubao Fortress and had no intention of leaving. Not long after, the legion commander personally called and arranged the twentieth mission of "Maze Thirty-Eight" .

"but……"

Zou Hai asked seriously: "Brigadier General, are you sure that boy also wants to join the 'Maze Mission'?"

On the open ground.

There is another figure.

Gu Shen.

Unlike those eighteen extraordinary beings... he was alone, watching the daily drills of the Survey Corps, and no one was teaming up with him to practice.

Yuan Yuan, the task leader in charge of training the team members, didn't even look at him.

He is a "guest from Dongzhou" who has come from afar. He is incompatible with the Kubao Fortress and cannot integrate into the Survey Corps.

…

…

Gu Shen didn't feel embarrassed.

He sat on the high wall next to the training ground, dangling his legs, chewing Lieba silently in the wind. Well... today's breakfast tasted good. Adjutant Zou specially heated Lieba for himself, and the hard bread became It's soft, and the texture after being smeared with butter can already be called excellent.

He saw every move of the extraordinary beings of the Survey Corps.

Watch nine battles simultaneously.

I have to admit that the level of physical skills of Beizhou's extraordinary beings in the same realm is much higher than that of Dongzhou... There is a reason why these guys are called "elite".

Fourteen of the eighteen extraordinary beings led by Yuan Yuan are all third-level.

The remaining four are all around the sixth level of the deep water area.

Very powerful configuration.

However, this time when heading north to Gubao, do we need to bring so many extraordinary people with us? If I remember correctly, there were only six members in Hong Zhong's elite team. Without figuring out the route, it would not be a good thing to send too many extraordinary beings to the survey corps.

"Yuan Yuan!"

A cold and stern voice swayed in the wind and snow.

Everyone who was practicing stopped when they heard this sound.

Yuan Yuan looked into the distance where the cold wind was howling, where a silver-haired woman came. He quickly bowed and saluted.

"Lord Azhaer."

All members of the Survey Corps saluted along with the deputy captain.

The gentleman in front of me is Her Majesty the Queen's [Apostle]. It is an honor to meet him once.

Azhaer's expression was obviously not good-looking, she frowned and scolded: "You should know that Mr. Xiao Gu... is also a member of the mission. As the captain of this mission, how can you leave him alone? "

Yuan Yuan looked at the high wall.

He sighed helplessly and said: "Master Azhaer... our daily training may not be suitable for this little Mr. Gu."

A young Dongzhou guest came to the fortress, and the news had spread throughout the fortress.

The young guest also received special treatment from the Brigadier.

After witnessing the fireworks show flying between the energy bombardments, the garrison of Gubao had already recognized the strength of this young guest... This so-called preferential treatment was out of respect for Her Majesty the Queen on the one hand, and on the other hand On the one hand, it is due to the heroic courage of this young man.

However, the Survey Corps doesn't care about this...

"There should be no precedent for Beizhou to arrange for outsiders to join the exploration team. The members of this elite team are all veteran team members, and they work well with each other. If you want to run in with outsiders, it will not be completed in just a few days."

"Lord Azhaer, in fact, I can't understand the order of the Legion Commander," he said calmly: "I think Mr. Gu should be joining the investigation team as a technical staff, so as long as we can ensure that he is here The safety during this mission...should be enough to fulfill the Legion Commander's order."

"As for these daily training..."

Yuan Yuan said slowly: "Mr. Xiao Gu, there is no need to join. I am afraid that my team members will accidentally injure him."

From beginning to end, Yuan Yuan never lowered his voice.

His voice floated across the martial arts arena.

It also floated to a high wall not far away.

This was done on purpose for everyone to hear.

Zou Hai narrowed his eyes and whispered: "Is this kid... provoking?"

Immediately.

He looked a little worried: "It's just that Yuan Yuan is indeed qualified to say this."

Gu Shen's physical skill level should be the average level of the seventh level in the deep water area.

To be able to tame the vicious dog under Master Lin Lin, this young man should have a strong mental power.

Generally speaking, the physical skills of extraordinary people of the spiritual system are not very strong, but when placed among the extraordinary people of the same realm in Beizhou, they are even less powerful.

Regarding Adjutant Zou's concerns, Lin Lin didn't say anything and just laughed softly.

…

…

There was a "whoosh" sound.

On the high wall, a figure fell down.

Gu Shen finished chewing Leba, clapped his hands, and shook off the crumbs.

Of course he heard the previous sounds.

Beizhou has never been very sympathetic to the extraordinary people from other continents, but in fact this is not discrimination. This remote continent with cold weather is more warlike than Nagano. This is a place that truly combines "fist with principle" "The place that runs through to the end.

Even if you are a native of Beizhou, you will not be respected if you are not strong enough.

"Vice Captain Yuan."

Gu Shen smiled and said gently: "I'm new here. I don't know much about the survey corps and exploration missions... To be on the safe side, let's practice it."

Yuan Yuan also laughed.

He looked at this young man who was not tall, sighed, and asked, "Mr. Xiao Gu, do you want to participate in confrontation training?"

Gu Shen looked towards the clearing.

He nodded, "I've just been reading...the rules don't seem difficult."

Several large circles were drawn on the open space.

The confrontation training is carried out in the circle. No extraordinary abilities are used, only physical skills are used for physical confrontation.

And the winning conditions are simple.

Either knock someone down or knock someone out of the circle...

"Although it's called 'confrontation training'..." Yuan Yuan said calmly: "In real battles, injuries often occur. Are you sure you want to participate?"

Gu Shen hummed, he turned his arms, moved his muscles, and entered the circle.

He no longer goes to see Yuan Yuan.

Instead, he looked at the elite members of the Survey Corps.

Gu Shen smiled and asked: "Who among you... is coming?"

The extraordinary beings from the Survey Corps looked at each other and then fell into silence.

No one went out because they had no orders.

"Okay." Yuan Yuan smiled helplessly at A'zha'er, "Since our guest is so insistent...Chen Jun, you can go out. Be gentle."

Yuan Yuan cast his gaze at one of the young extraordinary beings.

The young extraordinary man received the order and slowly left his position and came to Gu Shen's circle.

This is an extraordinary person with six levels of strength in the deep sea.

Gu Shen saw it and said nothing.

The two of them bowed.

When the battle began, Chen Jun's figure instantly turned into a sharp arrow and rushed towards Gu Shen.

A moment.

The two figures in the circle began to chase and dodge at top speed.

Move within a very small area.

Yuan Yuan was absent-minded, and while watching, he moved his head and said to Azhaer: "Master Apostle, due to the high danger of the [Old World], only a total of twelve people can go out of the fortress for this mission. This is the configuration of two teams. , and of the eighteen people I brought, seven will stay in Gubao to take care of them, because Gu Shen’s arrival... still needs to squeeze out one more person’s position.”

Azhaer knew that this was a complaint.

Yuan Yuan believed that "disharmonious things" had mixed into the elite of his investigation corps.

"So..." Yuan Yuan paused.

He just wanted to speak.

"Bang" sound!

A slight groan erupted in the circle.

The confrontation training in the circle ended at this moment... The shadows of pursuit and dodge were instantly shattered, and there was only one figure left in the huge circle.

Gu Shen's palm pressed against Chen Jun's chest.

No one could see clearly how he exerted his force. In the blink of an eye, Chen Jun was knocked away more than ten meters.

Gu Shenxu pressed her five fingers, and the cold air was still lingering on her fingertips.

Yuan Yuan's pupils shrank.

Maybe it was because of his absent-mindedness... He didn't even see clearly the moment Gu Shen made his move?

Azhaer said calmly: "So... what did you want to say just now?"

Yuan Yuan suddenly fell silent, swallowing all the words he originally wanted to say at this moment.

He frowned.

This young man, if I remember correctly, should be a spiritual transcendent...

Do spiritual supernatural beings also possess such a level of physical skills?

…

…

"This kid's speed... is very fast."

On the training ground.

A shirtless middle-aged man squinted at Gu Shen in the circle.

The scene of Chen Jun being knocked away was quite impactful.

However, Gu Shen did not show an "overwhelming" victory. The whole battle was very simple, just chase, dodge, and then find a flaw.

In fact, close combat does not need to be complicated.

Overwhelming power or extremely fast speed, either one is enough to win the victory.

Gu Shen's victory just now seemed to be due to his "speed advantage."

"Brother Su He..."

"This matter...I'm afraid it's not that simple..."

The lean, short-haired man who was sparring with the naked man was the youngest member of the survey corps, named Li Chen, who was in his early twenties.

There are only eleven places for this mission.

Li Chen has already determined one... His strength is only at the sixth level of the deep sea. A transcendent who is not at the third level can secure a spot. The reason is very simple. His ability is very important for the mission.

B-level ability [Episode of Source]!

Deep Sea's rating of extraordinary abilities is based on its risk factor. Because [Eye of the Source]'s actual combat ability is not strong, its rating is only B level... In fact, this is a very powerful auxiliary ability.

In multi-person missions, [Episode of Origin] can have a powerful miraculous effect!

It can detect changes in the surrounding source material, and can build temporary "spiritual links" to enhance the "spiritual perception" of teammates in the link by dedicating one's own "spiritual power".

This is a very reliable spiritual support ability.

Between Li Chen's eyebrows, a hollow eye vaguely opened.

When Gu Shen and Chen Jun were fighting.

He opened his [Pupilla of Source], and the strange thing was... [Pupilla of Source] could not capture Gu Shen's traces, and the other party's spiritual aura was almost annihilated in the induction of [Pupilla of Source].

This is an unprecedented situation.

Almost all extraordinary beings will habitually release a ray of spiritual energy.

Just like ordinary people will open their eyes.

Even the first-level transcendent who has only reached the introductory stage of practice knows one truth... mental power is more effective than the naked eye.

The [Episode of the Origin] didn't have any sense at all, which probably indicates a terrifying thing.

Gu Shen gave up the habit of "mental telepathy" that is innate to extraordinary people.

A spiritual transcendent gives up his telepathy?

What Li Chen couldn't believe even more was that during the previous urgent battle... Gu Shen actually glanced in the direction where he was.

How did the guy who gave up his telepathy become aware of his own "detection"?

All based on... intuition?

And that was just a glimpse.

[The Eye of the Source] seemed to "see" something terrifying, with a vague tendency to be out of control and to be forcibly closed.

Fortunately, it was only for a moment before Gu Shen looked away.

That oppression also disappeared.

The battle is over.

Chen Jun was knocked away cleanly. Gu Shen did not use too much force. The last palm was just a "recoil" of four or two strokes. The extraordinary person from the Survey Corps did not have too strong hostility towards him. So it was only a few minor scratches, which would heal in a few days.

He stood still in the circle.

In the duel just now, Gu Shen turned off the "blazing fire".

As expected, there were a lot of "psychic responses" coming from different directions outside the circle. Gu Shen found several places with his intuition... These elite extraordinary beings in the Survey Corps were all very powerful. There were several mental tests, and they almost... Provoking a counterattack from "Blazing Fire".

but.

What caught his attention the most... was in the direction of the high platform of Gubao Fortress.

There is a spiritual aura there.

I don't know why...it feels familiar, like I've seen it before somewhere.

Gu Shen cast his gaze in the direction of the high platform of Gubao Fortress.

"Is this the end?"

Zou Hai clicked his tongue and sighed with emotion, "Sir, your vision is still accurate... This kid's physical skills are surprisingly good."

"Um……"

Lin Lin hummed softly.

He pressed his hands on the stone railing of the high platform, looked at Gu Shen who was looking at him from a distance, and frowned slightly.

This young man... blocked his spiritual aura.

But how do I feel...

Something familiar?
