Chapter 115: The Military Camp

The seven-day Long May holiday passed quickly.
Chen Xiao bid farewell to his grandfather, Hu Zixuan, and the villagers, then boarded the train back to Jinghua.
By now, Chen Xiao’s strength had reached the fifth level. At the fifth level, one was already considered an unparalleled powerhouse in the world of supernatural abilities—someone who commanded respect and held a senior position in any association of such beings.
Yet despite such strength and status, Chen Xiao still felt it wasn’t enough. He had always believed that those at the seventh level were the ultimate powerhouses in this world, and that once he reached that level, he would be qualified to avenge his grandfather and find out what had happened to his parents.
But the events at sea, where superhuman beings from China displayed powers capable of changing the world, jolted Chen Xiao out of this dream. There were indeed supreme experts in this world, but they simply preferred not to act.
Moreover, someone like Qiu Cheng, a ninth-level Ghost King, only occupied a poor territory in this world—one even inferior to the Flame Soul Domain. He also tried to avoid humans and conflicts with them, showing that human supernatural forces were far more complex than imagined.
“It seems Grandfather was right. Reaching the seventh level only gives me the right to investigate. Avenge my grandfather and rescue my parents? I’m still a long way off.”
Chen Xiao pondered these thoughts silently on the train.
“But I’m not a supernatural being, and I’m not alone either. Hmph.”
He hadn’t lost confidence, nor was he intimidated by the difficulties ahead. Though he still didn’t know who his enemies were, he was certain that in the near future, he would be able to dominate this entire world of supernatural abilities.
That’s what confidence is like. As someone with the inheritance of the Supreme God, Chen Xiao’s potential was limitless.
The train heading to Jinghua rushed forward with a howl.
Although Chen Xiao was now a powerful supernatural being, none of them lived entirely separate from normal society. They all had identities in the mundane world. But for supernatural beings, this world wasn’t just a place to live—it was a source of enjoyment, a place to enjoy the rare peace found in this world of powers.
……
On the campus of Jinghua University of Science and Technology, there was a sea of people. The freshmen were about to undergo the mandatory military-style training required by the state.
“Boss, this time we’re doing military training together with Jinghua University, Jinghua University of People, and Jingbei University. But Jinghua University is famous for its beautiful women. We’re in for a treat—maybe…”
Jiang Xianxiang was a natural flirt. He couldn’t wait to rush to that military camp and enjoy the training alongside those beautiful women.
Chen Xiao curled his lips but said nothing. The four people in the dormitory—except for Liu Xu, who was still in the hospital—were all there.
“I really envy Liu Xu,” said Qiu Cheng, hanging his head. He wasn’t afraid of the so-called military training; he was simply a gaming enthusiast. Being kept away from his computer and games for a day was almost as unbearable as dying.
On top of that, this training would last a full month, which drove Qiu Cheng almost crazy.

“Third brother, how about I cripple you now so you don’t have to go?” Chen Xiao looked at Qiu Cheng, smiled, then clenched his fist tightly.
“Better not.”
At the thought of Liu Xu lying in bed, covered in bandages and unable to move, Qiu Cheng shuddered violently.
In fact, although Chen Xiao had injected Life Water into Liu Xu’s body, he hadn’t fully healed his injuries at once—only saved his life and allowed the Life Water to spread slowly within him. This shortened Liu Xu’s recovery time but still allowed the doctors to accept the situation, preventing him from being treated as a rare specimen for research.
Slowly, dozens of large buses drove into the campus, and the students, grouped by class, boarded them one after another.
To the north of Jinghua City lay the 131st Military Unit of Jinghua City, a top-ranked military training camp across the country, covering dozens of kilometers.
Four schools and nearly ten thousand freshmen would spend a month here. As for what this training would be like, they would have to experience it themselves.
Upon arriving at the camp, all the students were extremely curious. Holding their luggage, they looked around, finding everything new.
At this time, some of the officers were quite friendly, smiling as they guided the students to their dormitories and showed them around the camp.
Chen Xiao’s mental power was extremely strong. Seeing the smiles on these officers’ faces, he immediately realized the students’ days ahead would not be easy.
The dormitories here weren’t like those in schools, with four people per room. Instead, they were true dormitories—huge rooms with ten beds each, housing twenty people.
After arranging the dormitories, the officers took the students, still by class, on a tour of the camp and distributed camouflage uniforms.
During this process, Chen Xiao encountered an acquaintance—the young officer who had led the troops to protect him while he practiced on a small hill west of Jinghua City. Through introductions, Chen Xiao learned that this man’s name was Xing Yi, the chief instructor for this joint military training.
Soon, a day passed.
That day, the students didn’t undergo any training. They only toured the camp, had their training instructors and venues assigned, and nothing more. After a motivational meeting, they dispersed.
The students then began exploring the camp on their own. Apart from the key areas that were clearly off-limits, they could freely wander elsewhere.
But now, these “flowers raised in a greenhouse” truly thought this was just a tour. They had undergone military training once when they first entered college, and many didn’t take this so-called militarized training seriously.
“Elder brother, third brother, come on, let’s go see some girls,” Jiang Xianxiang quickly found Chen Xiao and Qiu Cheng in the crowd as soon as they dispersed.
“See girls?” Chen Xiao curled his lips. “Go eat instead. Otherwise, you’ll regret it tomorrow.”
It was already afternoon, with the sun low in the sky. But it seemed they hadn’t had time to eat since arriving in the morning.

Reminded by Chen Xiao, the two also started to feel hungry.
“Well then, let’s go eat first. Today, Master Xiang is in a good mood—he’s inviting everyone to dinner!” Jiang Xianxiang said generously.
“Tch!” Chen Xiao made a dismissive gesture and then said, “The food here is free. If you can get us out of this camp and take us out to eat, I’ll recognize you as the boss!”
