Chapter 152: [151] The Shock to the Black Armor Army from the Talented Newcomer

For Cheng Han, besides completing the Body Tempering seal by hunting down Qi Bi using his strategy, there was another benefit.

That is:

The pillow has arrived!

The bedding has also arrived!

Taking off the green hat... uh, it should be the green hard shell, then cutting off a large piece of soft skin from the abdomen, carefully tanning it with True Flame power.

Part of the soft skin wraps around the hard shell, and the pillow is complete.

The other part serves as the bedding.

And they are all made of real leather!

Cheng Han busied himself repairing the damaged ice house and comfortably lay down on the stone bed.

He input a little True Flame power into the stone bed, causing it to slowly release heat, and now there was heating.

He closed his eyes and quickly entered a deep sleep.

The Qi Bi's body next to him emitted an extremely intimidating aura, and no extraordinary creature would dare to approach.

The deduction results also proved this point, so he could sleep soundly.

For Cheng Han.

It was a pleasant evening.

It was also a peaceful night.

But.

For a group of monitors, it was definitely not a peaceful evening.

"Hoo~"

The cold wind blew.

The simple wooden shed with leaks was as cold as an ice cave.

Little Beard rubbed his hands vigorously and asked loudly, "Has the message been sent to the Black Mountain Camp?"

The response from his subordinates came immediately, "Headquarters has received the message and sent a receipt."

Little Beard glanced at the image of a certain person sleeping peacefully, feeling extremely annoyed in his heart and eyes.

"What kind of world is this! This kid is sleeping comfortably, while we are here starving and freezing, and we have to keep watch for him."

However.

His subordinates had completely resigned themselves to their fate, and no one dared to speak up in agreement.

One employee even boldly stated a fact, "Boss, we are the ones who have truly come here for training."

The others nodded in agreement.

Little Beard looked at this group of useless guys and finally let out a long sigh.

After sitting in a daze for a while, he suddenly had an idea, "Cheng Han is the most promising newcomer in recent decades. To avoid any accidents, it would be best to have a team of soldiers sent by higher-ups."

As soon as his subordinates heard this, they knew that their boss's suggestion was definitely not well-intentioned.

On the surface, it seemed to be for Cheng Han's safety considerations.

In reality, the boss definitely wanted to involve more people.

But no one objected.

After all, having more comrades-in-arms would somewhat balance everyone's hearts.

"Buzz~"

The sound of the artifact vibrating suddenly rang out.

An employee touched the artifact with his palm and immediately showed a surprised expression.

"What's wrong?" Little Beard asked curiously.

The employee swallowed his saliva and replied, "An order has been sent from above. In four hours, a team of soldiers will come to participate in the vigilance work for the newcomer's training."

This person paused for a moment and added, "The person leading the team is a deputy lieutenant from the Second Battalion."

Little Beard's face looked strange.

He just thought about requesting manpower, but unexpectedly, higher-ups took the initiative to send people, and even a deputy lieutenant came. This greatly exceeded his expectations.

Another employee sighed, "Cheng Han has become famous in the Black Mountain Camp."

The others didn't find it strange at all.

During the newcomer's training, accomplishing such a big feat by single-handedly killing a C-grade extraordinary creature, it would be difficult not to become famous.

Little Beard nodded slightly, "I guess this should be an order personally issued by the Military Lord."

His subordinates immediately understood.

A deputy lieutenant was already considered a big shot in the Black Armor Army. How could he voluntarily come to the wilderness to endure hardship?

This must be an order from the Military Lord to make the deputy lieutenant come so quickly.

Xiao Hu Zi gazed at the footage, his tone filled with envy: "What a lucky kid."

Others didn't dare to agree.

Lucky?

Clearly it's because of his strength!

*

Four o'clock in the morning.

Cheng Han lay on the warm stone bed, appearing to be asleep, but in reality, he was quietly deducing the combat techniques of the "Ice Element Mystical Arts."

For a long time.

He muttered in a very low voice, "Qibi's playstyle is too simple and crude. The innate talent for the Mystical Arts of this thing is really not that great."

Previously, he had flown kites with "Ice Charm" and observed Qian Qingqing killing "Snow Aberration." Both were ice-based anomalies, and he had deduced a lot of related knowledge from them.

Now, combining this knowledge, he had gained a lot of advanced techniques, naturally feeling that Qibi was somewhat inferior.

Cheng Han thought for a moment and understood the reason: "This thing has a very strong body and prefers to rely on physical combat, so it doesn't have a keen interest in the Mystical Arts."

Suddenly, he sensed something and quickly sat up, muttering, "They've come so quickly."

A few seconds later.

A loud voice came from afar, "Is Cheng Han here? I am Ji Changqiu from the Black Armor Army, and I have been ordered to bring Qibi."

Cheng Han waved his hand and opened the ice door, quickly walking out of the ice house and replied, "Thank you, everyone."

He was slightly surprised in his heart. It was just transporting the body of a transcendent creature. Was it necessary for the Black Armor Army to send a small team?

He immediately realized the reason. These people were probably proficient in corpse examination. In addition to temporarily acting as transport workers, they were probably also responsible for determining the cause of Qibi's death.

Soon enough.

Six soldiers arrived next to the ice house.

Although they already knew that the newcomer had killed Qibi, they still felt a strong shock in their hearts when they sensed the lingering powerful aura.

Ji Changqiu directly raised a thumb and said, "Impressive!"

Cheng Han smiled and replied, "You flatter me."

Ji Changqiu seemed to be a man of few words and spoke concisely, "Should we transport it to Qinglin City or Black Mountain Camp?"

Cheng Han mentioned the name of the little girl, "Deliver it to Qian Qingqing's house."

Ji Changqiu didn't waste words and simply waved his hand, "Cut down trees and make a sled!"

Cheng Han quickly said, "No need for a sled, I have a more convenient method."

Ji Changqiu paused for a moment.

Cheng Han didn't explain, he just raised his hand and slapped the body.

"Smack!"

A very obscure wave surged forth.

A large area of ice quickly condensed beneath the body, with a flat bottom, resembling an ice sled, or rather, an ice sled.

This was much more convenient than making a sled.

Coupled with the smooth ice surface, there was less resistance.

Ji Changqiu's pupils contracted as he blurted out, "The characteristics of the Ice Element Mystical Arts!"

He looked incredulous, "Did you comprehend the mysteries of the Ice Element Mystical Arts from the aura of Qibi's body?!"

Cheng Han smiled a bit shyly, "That's right! I spent the whole night in the ice house and gained some insights."

This was not unprecedented.

When Yu Xianglong visited before, he talked about many strange rumors.

One of them was that a very small number of warriors with strong talents could comprehend a trace of Mystical Arts characteristics from transcendent creatures or anomalies.

When Cheng Han heard this, he had an idea in his mind.

A warrior with strong talent, wasn't that referring to him?

And the stronger the talent displayed, the more resources one would naturally obtain, and the more attention one would receive from the big shots. Why not take the opportunity to comprehend Mystical Arts characteristics?

Ji Changqiu heard the phrase "some insights" and his old face twitched involuntarily.

Just a casual touch, and the area beneath the body was frozen into a lump of ice. Was this just "some insights"?

Clearly, it was a rather deep level of comprehension.

This team leader really didn't know what to say, he just sighed, "Too strong!"

The other five soldiers, at this moment, looked at him with eyes that were like seeing a monster.

Ji Changqiu didn't waste any more words and waved his hand, "Get to work!"

The group of people immediately took out ropes and securely bound the body, dragging it away quickly.

Along the way.

The soldiers couldn't help but discuss.

"Originally, I thought this mission was being rushed by the higher-ups. Even if Qibi was a C-rank, even if we had to perform a post-mortem, why did they make us rush overnight?"

"People say he's a genuine young genius. Just by sleeping next to a corpse for one night, he was able to comprehend the characteristics of arcane arts. No wonder the higher-ups value him so much."

"When I was praised as a genius before joining the Black Armor Army, I feel like a complete idiot compared to this newcomer."

*

Black Mountain Camp.

Luxury dormitory area.

The warriors eligible to live in this area are all senior squad leaders or above, and even regular squad leaders lack the qualifications.

Although it is called "dormitory," it is actually a two or three-story building, where at least four servants provide attentive service.

The interior decoration of each building is needless to say.

Let me give you a simple example.

The heating in each dormitory is provided by an independent gray crystal boiler, something that even middle-class families in Qinglin City can't afford.

Once the boiler is turned on, even if the outside temperature drops to minus sixty degrees, the interior remains warm as spring, and one wouldn't feel cold even wearing a short-sleeved shirt.

At this moment.

In a three-story building exclusively for centurions.

A muscular man wearing a vest and shorts sat beside a beautiful low table, sipping wine while admiring the serene snow scene outside the large glass window.

Not long after.

In this bedroom of over forty square meters, there was a rustling sound coming from the deep bed canopy.

A charming female voice came out, "Why are you up so early when it's not even dawn?"

With this voice, a well-endowed beauty wearing only a thin veil opened the canopy and walked over.

There was a teardrop mole at the corner of her eye.

But it not only didn't detract from her appearance, but also added a touch of unique charm.

This woman's figure was slightly more robust than ordinary women, and her steps were more agile, indicating her identity as a warrior.

But she was not a female warrior.

Because she didn't have the unique temperament of a warrior.

The muscular man didn't turn around, just said, "I'm considering something."

The teardrop beauty smiled, "Cheng Han, right?"

A few hours ago, the astonishing news of "the newcomer's experience killing Qibi" came, and her man was excitedly shouting, "The Second Battalion has found a treasure," and even finished a bottle of strong liquor.

She knew at a glance that her man must be thinking about Cheng Han again.

The teardrop beauty glanced and noticed two empty bottles on the table, and asked in confusion, "Even if Cheng Han is a genius, you shouldn't be so excited, right?"

The muscular man didn't respond, just pointed at the table, "Take a look."

The teardrop beauty walked over, and only then did she notice a small note on the low table.

She picked up the note and glanced at it, her pretty face showing astonishment, "No way?! He comprehended the ice arcane arts characteristics in just one night?"

"Smack!"

The muscular man slapped her.

The teardrop beauty exclaimed in a coquettish manner, her face filled with a spoiled look.

The muscular man chuckled, "Now you know why I couldn't sleep?"

The teardrop beauty nodded, "It seems Cheng Han will definitely become an arcane master! In the past hundred years, almost ninety percent of warriors who comprehended arcane arts characteristics on their own became arcane masters."

"Cheng Han comprehended two types of arcane arts characteristics and even touched upon the mysterious essence. I'm afraid he will become an arcane master in a few years. It's really difficult to arrange for such a rare genius in the Second Battalion."

The muscular man smiled again, "Rong Rong, what I like most about you is that you're smart enough."

This guy sighed, "If I let Cheng Han do more things, it might delay his cultivation, but if I let him focus solely on cultivation, wouldn't it be a waste of talent?"

The teardrop beauty understood in her heart that her man was thinking about surpassing the other battalions. Now that they have such a talented person under their command, it's really hard to restrain their ambition.

She thought for a moment and made a suggestion, "Cheng Han's strength is not as good as Qibi's, but he was able to kill him with a plan. He's a very clever guy."

"I think it's best for you to have a frank conversation with him, don't play any tricks."

The muscular man was a bit troubled, "I just don't know how to approach the conversation."

The teardrop beauty smiled, "When Cheng Han was in the 15th Middle School, he had a nickname."

The muscular man was stunned for a moment, then excitedly shouted, "Captain Extra Money! I got it!"

He glanced at the teardrop beauty, looked at the scenery faintly visible under the thin veil, and suddenly felt a surge of warmth in his heart.

"Ah~"

The teardrop beauty suddenly let out a scream.

She was lifted up by a pair of strong arms.

*

Dawn was approaching.

Inside a wooden shed.

Little Beard's eyes were bloodshot as he looked up at the sky and sighed, "This long night has finally come to an end."

It was freezing cold, and he had to worry about the safety of the target. He also had to guide the support team and do a lot of work when the deputy lieutenant and his team arrived.

In short,

This night was truly indescribable.

He had only slept for a maximum of an hour and a half.

At this moment,

A gentle voice sounded, "Cheng Han is coming out."

It was one of the three deputy lieutenants of the Second Battalion, named Mu Zhenghao.

Little Beard immediately turned his head to look at the image on the device.

Sure enough,

He saw Cheng Han coming out of the ice house carrying a large bundle of bedding.

The image was much clearer now.

This was a set of advanced magical tools specially allocated by the Black Mountain Camp to ensure the safety of talented newcomers. It not only had a monitoring distance of over forty kilometers but also could monitor continuously throughout the day.

The price, however, was that the consumption of Xuanjing had increased tenfold.

Little Beard glanced at the magical tool and couldn't help but mutter to himself, "The treatment for geniuses is indeed different!"

This guy had been doing surveillance work for many years, but it was the first time he had seen headquarters willing to use this thing to monitor newcomers.

In the image,

Cheng Han looked quite good, obviously having rested very well. He assumed a stance and began practicing the Nine Elements Strengthening Technique.

"Hoo! Hoo!"

With his movements, the snowflakes scattered around were lifted by his energy, swirling around like a rolling snow dragon.

This scene was quite impressive.

Mu Zhenghao watched for a while and praised, "With this level, he is almost on par with the senior squad leaders of the Black Armor Army."

Little Beard rubbed his slightly sore eyes and had a faint sense of unease.

This kid was probably going to cause trouble again.

Although he had only been monitoring for a day, Little Beard had already realized that this kid was an extremely restless guy.

Even if there was nothing, he would still find something to do!

A few seconds later,

Little Beard's premonition was confirmed.

In the image,

"Hey!"

Cheng Han suddenly shouted.

The flying snow dragon instantly gathered at his feet and transformed into a block of ice.

Mu Zhenghao's eyes narrowed as he couldn't help but exclaim, "He has just comprehended the characteristics of the ice element Xuanfa and can already use such a technique. He truly deserves to be called a genius!"

Little Beard's face twitched.

Genius?

Huh!

Mr. Deputy Lieutenant, you will soon realize just how despicable this genius can be.

The next moment,

The talented newcomer stepped on an "ice skateboard" and slid towards Changgeng Lake at a speed that made people's jaws drop.

This speed was at least fifty percent faster than yesterday's skiing.

Mu Zhenghao was momentarily stunned and quickly shouted, "Chase!"

Everyone hurriedly packed up and rushed after him.

Two hours later,

Mu Zhenghao was covered in snowflakes, panting heavily, and cursed, "Damn it!"

For the past two hours, this deputy lieutenant had been running non-stop in the snow, without a second of rest.

Most of the original surveillance team couldn't keep up and had been left far behind.

There was no way.

That kid was just too fast.

Mu Zhenghao grumbled, "This little bastard has mastered the ice element Xuanfa, why did he become so addicted to playing with it?"

But Little Beard had a different idea.

He felt that Cheng Han had probably guessed the presence of the deputy lieutenant and was deliberately messing with him.

It seemed that this kid really didn't like being monitored. No matter who it was, they would inevitably be toyed with.
