Chapter 571: Little Snake (3)

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Many people regretted not killing more monsters in the newbie zone and advancing earlier.

Among the two thousand people at the base, nearly a hundred remained ordinary, without even undergoing one enhancement.

These individuals had no intention of killing monsters at all, and lacked the courage to do so.

Fortunately, the team was large enough that their contributions were not immediately necessary, allowing these hundred people to continue surviving.

Im back

At this moment, another figure returned from outside.

It was Huo Li Juan.

Youve reached the threshold level?!

Thats right!

Huo Li Juan looked proud of her achievement.

She was one of those selected to join a team.

Since Ji Wu Shuang learned that Zhao Yu was alive and could increase the number of fighters by utilizing King-level monsters, she began to contemplate the operation of the entire team.

After careful consideration, she decided to evenly distribute the strength of both sides as much as possible to prevent division caused by imbalance.

Therefore, after privately consulting with some people, Ji Wu Shuang took care of those who had a good relations.h.i.+p with Zhao Yu on weekdays.

She prioritized sending these people to the first and second teams, including Huo Li Juan and others.

Youre finally back. Can I go to the second team now?!

The threshold-level guarding the base was more excited than anyone else to see Huo Li Juan return.

According to the rules, for every member returning from the first team, one would be replaced and sent to the second team.

By rotating in this order, they would all become an ultimate fighter eventually.

However, there was little chance for them to join the third team because its selection was very subjective, entirely dependent on Ji Wu Shuang and others preferences.

Well, wait for me to rest for a while, and Ill take you to the second team later! Sun Yi Fan said with a smile upon seeing this.

Okay The threshold-level enhancer guarding the base happily agreed. With an ultimate fighter accompanying them, the journey would be safer and easier.

He quickly briefed Huo Li Juan on what needed to be done to guard the base.

After the handover was completed, Huo Li Juan officially began patrolling the camp.

As she wandered to a certain area, a figure seemed to be avoiding her and quietly slipped away.

Little did they know, Huo Li Juan was persistent and called out with a smile.

Sun Jing!

Sun Jings steps faltered, her expression was unpleasant, but she could only turn around, forcing a strained smile.

Oh, I remember, you make especially delicious mushroom soup, right?!

Xiao Xiao Long praised it a lot back then. If youre available, could you make me a bowl too?

You know, Im exhausted from fighting on the frontlines, but just the thought of returning to the base with mushroom soup cooked by you gives me a surge of strength from my stomach, making me feel revitalized

Sun Jing opened her mouth, seemingly wanting to refuse with some excuse, but happened to catch Huo Li Juans gaze and was startled.

She understood that if she refused, the other party might cause trouble for her when the opportunity arose. Sun Jing could only reluctantly agree.

Oh, then Ill trouble you, Sun Jing!

Huo Li Juan grabbed her weapons and equipment, swaying her hips as she left.

Watching her figure depart, Sun Jings eyes became slightly moist, mixed with some regret. If she had known earlier, she wouldnt have shown off in front of Huo Li Juan.

Speaking of the relations.h.i.+p between the two, it naturally started from Zhao Yus side.

In the beginning, before the merger of the academy faction and the ancient martial arts faction, when Xiao Xiao Long led his people away, Zhao Yu stood alone and became the strongest person in the academy faction, unparalleled in fame.

Together with those around Zhao Yu like Huo Li Juan, w.a.n.g Zi Jun, Li Hong Wei, etc., they became the most popular group.

Although Sun Jing didnt say it out loud, she was very envious in her heart.

After all, she was just like Huo Li Juan, fond of showing off.

With someone as proactive as Huo Li Juan around, Sun Jing was less inclined to take the initiative, feeling that it would be demeaning and might not even bring her closer to Zhao Yu.

So, while she appeared reserved on the surface, she secretly bonded with Huo Li Juan and others.

For Huo Li Juan, Sun Jing were once the campus G.o.ddess. Seeing her took the initiative to befriend her, she naturally welcomed it.

For a while, the two even referred to each other as sisters, even going to the restroom in groups.

Who would have thought that not long after, Xiao Xiao Long returned, went out with Zhao Yu for a long time.

After that, the merger of the academy faction and the ancient martial arts faction occurred, mainly because the strongest group had been absent for a long time, leaving the rest feeling insecure.

With Xiao Xiao Long returned and Zhao Yu was suspected to have died. Peoples att.i.tudes toward Huo Li Juan and the others changed.

As a result, Sun Jing quietly left this small circle. After some hesitation, she decisively joined Xiao Xiao Longs circle.

Moreover, she deliberately created the illusion to outsiders that she had become Xiao Xiao Longs girlfriend, taking advantage of Xiao Xiao Longs own dull and slow-witted nature.

As the tide turns, the once humiliating experience of integrating into Huo Li Juans circle now seemed insignificant in the face of newfound prosperity.

Naturally, Huo Li Juan and Sun Jing fell out, even becoming enemies.

In recent days, Huo Li Juan had shed countless tears in secret.

Who would have thought that just three days later, the situation would once again reverse when news came from the frontlines that Zhao Yu was still alive..
