Chapter 1058 Island

Zijing was woken up again after arriving at the target location. The aircraft had already stopped and the surroundings were full of vitality. Unlike his previous imagination, the island was not desolate, but covered with dense forests. The trees were lush and the green leaves swayed gently in the breeze. The sun shone through the treetops, casting mottled light and shadows, and the air was filled with the fresh scent of soil and plants.

Cheng Lixue stood beside Zijing and said softly, "We are here... Are you okay?"

Zijing rubbed her eyes, quickly stood up from her chair, looked at her palms, and clenched them. There was no change, as if that inexplicable dream was just a dream.

"I'm OK."

Zijing said, took off the blood oxygen saturation monitoring device on her finger, and then checked the suitcase. A moment later, Theresa was also awakened. She stretched her body sleepily, then quickly recovered her spirits. Seeing that Cheng Lixue had opened the cabin door, she realized that they had arrived at their destination.

After leaving the cabin, Cheng Lixue led the two to their future residence. On the way, Theresa breathed in the fresh air around her. This island far away from the city was a new and strange sight to her.

Zijing took out the Honkai energy detector he carried with him. The reading on it fluctuated slightly. In the forest in the distance, he could also vaguely hear the sound of trees falling.

Cheng Lixue explained: "The other side of the island is where the Honkai beasts are active. The Valkyries that come here will go there when they fight... There is no need to worry about them attacking our residence at night. Barriers have already been set up between the two sides of the island."

"'us'?"

Amethyst looked at her, "Will you stay too?"

"If you want me to leave, I can tell my master and return to the headquarters. I will come back to pick you up after the training time is over." Cheng Lixue said naturally.

"That's not what I meant. What I wanted to ask is, will you also participate in the training?" Amethyst asked.

"...Yes, my swordsmanship still has room for improvement, so Master took this opportunity to ask me to join in." Cheng Lixue observed Zijing's expression and explained after hesitating for a few seconds.

"Swordsmanship..."

Zijing knew a lot about Shenzhou's martial arts, but had never come into contact with it. However, she was somewhat interested in it. If Cheng Lixue's master came to guide the training, maybe he would teach her unique skills?

"Jing, what is swordsmanship? Is it used in fighting?" Theresa pulled Zijing's arm.

"I guess so... The killing power is also very strong, at least a little stronger than bare hands."

"No, Master's boxing is also very powerful. The two martial arts have their own advantages." Hearing Zijing say this, Cheng Lixue couldn't help but correct her. These were the original words that the master taught her.

"You learned it too?" Amethyst asked.

"……Um."

Cheng Lixue didn't say anything more. She was just a disciple and couldn't reveal too much of her master's martial arts without her master's consent.

After walking for fifteen minutes, the three of them arrived at a simple wooden house, which was their temporary residence. Although the wooden house looked plain in appearance, it had all the necessary facilities and daily necessities inside, which was enough to meet their basic living needs on the island.

The wooden house is surrounded by lush trees and a clear stream flows not far away, adding a bit of tranquility and harmony to the area.

Cheng Lixue led Zijing and Theresa into the wooden house, pointed to their respective rooms, and told them some basic living guidelines and precautions. "The water source here is safe and can be drunk directly. Food and necessities will be regularly supplied by the headquarters. If you have any questions, you can contact me at any time."

Zijing and Theresa put their luggage away, then walked out of the cabin and began to familiarize themselves with the surrounding environment. Theresa was full of curiosity about everything here. She touched the tree trunks and squatted down to look at the small fish in the stream.

Zijing was more concerned about the upcoming training. He asked Cheng Lixue: "When will our training start? Is there anything special that needs to be prepared?"

Cheng Lixue replied: "We will start early tomorrow morning. You should have a good rest tonight and get enough rest. As for preparation, keep your body in the best condition. Other equipment and training devices will be provided... By the way, your body still needs to be checked..."

"No, I'm fine now."

Zijing shook her head and continued to ask, "Where are the two mentors?"

"Master and the others are in their own quarters, thinking about tomorrow's lessons."

Zijing nodded. He turned to Theresa and saw that she was having a lot of fun. He walked over to remind her, "Don't forget why we are here. We will start training seriously tomorrow. Go to bed early tonight."

Theresa stood up, brushed the dirt off her hands, and replied with a smile: "Don't worry, Jing. I'll be ready."

As night fell, the three of them enjoyed a simple but nutritionally balanced dinner in the cabin. After dinner, Zijing and Theresa returned to their rooms early to rest. Cheng Lixue patrolled outside the cabin and returned to her room after making sure everything was safe.

The next morning, Cheng Lixue knocked on the door, then pushed it open and saw two disheveled people lying on the same bed.

"..."

After a moment's silence, Cheng Lixue knocked on the open door again, this time waking up the two people on the bed completely.

"Good morning~"

Theresa rubbed her sleepy eyes and got up drowsily. She was wearing a loose white pajamas, revealing half of her fair shoulders.

Zijing also opened her eyes and saw Cheng Lixue looking at her calmly. She smiled and said in the same way, "Good morning."

"..."

Cheng Lixue left the door, while Zijing and Theresa were sorting their clothes.

Theresa's slightly longer white hair was casually draped over her shoulders. She yawned, then jumped off the bed and pulled Amethyst towards the bathroom.

"Hurry up, Jing, we can't be late on the first day."

Zijing smiled and followed Theresa, and the two quickly finished their morning wash. Soon, they returned to the living room, where Cheng Lixue had already prepared a simple breakfast, including fresh fruit, bread, and hot coffee... This small wooden house really had everything.

The three of them sat around the wooden table, enjoying their breakfast. Outside the window, the sun had begun to fill the entire forest, and the chirping of birds added vitality to this morning.

After filling their stomachs, Cheng Lixue led Zijing and Theresa to the training ground. They crossed the wooden bridge over the stream and followed a winding path deep into the forest. The training ground was located in an open space, surrounded by tall trees, with a flat sandy area in the center, which was obviously specially prepared for training.

Two girls wearing standard Valkyrie uniforms were already waiting at the entrance of the training ground.
