Chapter 430: Chapter 430: Two Tasks [Seeking Recommendation Votes, Seeking Rewards]

At the same time, nine other helicopters were on their way from nine different units.

Twenty-one members of the Canglang Unit disembarked from the plane, switched to off-road vehicles, and headed towards the desert.

In five off-road vehicles, the Canglang men didn’t show any sign of fatigue from the journey; instead, they were in high spirits.

“This year’s military district competition, only the Long Chi team can give our Canglang Unit a run for our money, the other units are not worth mentioning,” said a man who had shaved his head, clasping a large cigarette, sitting in the passenger seat with a look of disdain.

Sitting in the back row, Cheng Yiyi didn’t say anything upon hearing this. This was her first time participating in the military district competition after joining the Canglang Unit, and there was much she didn’t understand, naturally she didn’t presume to jump to conclusions.

However, through the time spent together, Cheng Yiyi had come to have a general understanding of her teammates.

...

As the strongest unit in the Cangzhou military district, those who were able to join the Canglang Unit were all one in ten thousand among the district’s elites. This environment had naturally led to their extremely disdainful and arrogant attitude towards everyone else.

In their eyes, they were the best in the world, and anyone who dared to disagree or provoke them would be taught a lesson through direct confrontation. They wanted others to understand that some people should not be messed with.

So, they carried themselves with immense pride and had explosive tempers, cursing loudly at the slightest inconvenience.

As a female, and one as beautiful as a Heavenly Immortal, these men naturally wouldn’t treat Cheng Yiyi harshly, but instead were extremely compliant to her.

Coming from a prominent family, Cheng Yiyi could tell at a glance that what these men valued was nothing more than her face and body; before they got what they wanted, they would act cultured and refined, but once they obtained it, their true nature would reveal itself.

All in all, Cheng Yiyi didn’t have a good impression of these men.

But she herself didn’t need to have anything to do with them, Cheng Yiyi simply saw the Canglang Unit as a place to hone herself.

Speaking of which, Cheng Yiyi suddenly felt a bit lost.

Originally, she had joined the Canglang Unit in order to improve her own strength and then seek revenge on Li Xiaoyao.

But as time passed, Cheng Yiyi suddenly realized that she seemed to no longer hate Li Xiaoyao.

What happened that night was purely an accident, and indeed not his fault.

Even, not long ago, when she learned online that Li Xiaoyao had killed someone from the Xuan Country’s Li Family, she was actually quite worried.

This shift in mindset was something Cheng Yiyi didn’t want to confront, but deep in her heart, she knew that she no longer harbored hatred for Li Xiaoyao, and even, had started to feel something else for him.

The vehicles slowly made their way towards the Liso Desert. As the second largest desert in the world, it was a vast and uninhabited area, making it perfectly suitable for the military district competition.

Several vehicles stopped at the border between the desert and the mainland. Li Xiaoyao and seventeen Long Chi members got out of the cars, carrying water bags and food, each one armed with their usual cold weapons, ready to set off completely prepared.

Cheng Dongliang stood outside the car door, looking at everyone with a serious expression and said, “My only requirement is for all of you to come back alive, do you understand?”

The men stood up straight, a touch of emotion in their eyes, and shouted in unison, “Understood!”

Eighteen figures gradually receded into the distance, disappearing into the desert.

Cheng Dongliang watched the direction in which the members were disappearing, a deep worry in his eyes.

Li Xiaoyao was undeniably strong, but the leaders of the other nine units were also formidable, their cultivation levels no less intimidating. As for how formidable they truly were, it was military secret, unknown even to Cheng Dongliang.

“To the young man who is good at creating miracles, I hope that this time, he can continue to create miracles,” Cheng Dongliang got into the vehicle and left the desert.

…

About an hour into their trek through the desert, Li Xiaoyao ordered a halt for rest.

“From the moment we stepped into the desert, the military district competition officially began,” Li Xiaoyao’s gaze swept over everyone with detachment, and he enunciated each word clearly, “In this military district competition, the greatest enemy is not the other nine military districts, but yourselves.”

The crowd was puzzled until they heard Li Xiaoyao continue, “This is an excellent training opportunity, in the extreme environment of the desert, you can temper your will and push your bodies to the limit. Remember, this time your enemies are neither the Canglang Unit nor any other units, what you need to challenge is yourselves!”

After hearing this, the hearts of the crowd were profoundly shaken, and they couldn’t help but feel touched by Li Xiaoyao’s serious expression.

Li Xiaoyao was truly responsible, still not forgetting to train them even under such circumstances.

Mutou asked, “So what should we do now?”

Li Xiaoyao stood up and swept his gaze around before saying, “First, we’ll wipe out the other nine military teams.”

Again, the crowd’s hearts jolted, Instructor Li was truly Instructor Li, a powerful figure who commanded their respect. In his eyes, the other nine teams seemed as if they were nothing more than ordinary passersby, easily defeated.

And the ease in Li Xiaoyao’s words also brought them strong confidence.

Even if they had performed poorly in the past few military district competitions, it hadn’t affected their spirits at the moment.

Li Xiaoyao sat down, took a piece of stick, and drew circles in the sand, saying, “The Canglang Unit, including the instructor, has twenty-one people, Long Chi Unit, along with the instructor, has…”

After listing all nine teams’ numbers, Li Xiaoyao began to delegate tasks, “On average, there are nineteen people per team among these nine units, roughly the same number as you have.”

“I have set two tasks for you,” Li Xiaoyao held up a finger, “The first task, I give you seven days to wipe out these nine teams, any questions?”

Seven days to wipe out nine teams?

In the past, such a notion was unthinkable to them, but now, they felt that this myth-like task seemed possible.

The crowd nodded vehemently, “No!”

Li Xiaoyao nodded in satisfaction, “I will handle the instructors of those teams; what you need to do is take out their members. Good, now for the second task.”

“The second task is to raise your cultivation level by one realm.”

“Ah!”

“Instructor Li, isn’t this task a bit too difficult?”

The crowd groaned endlessly, preferring to fight with members of the other units rather than having to stay in the desert for a year or half, with a breakthrough as the objective.

With their current cultivation levels, it seemed impossible to advance to another realm in a short time without at least a year and a half.

Moreover, they had just reached the Abstinence Realm, where they could go a short time without eating or drinking, but if it were a long time, they wouldn’t need to wait for a breakthrough; they’d starve to death first.

So, Li Xiaoyao’s second task, frankly, was for them to surpass themselves in an extreme environment.
