Chapter 228 Training and Trial

The morning sun shone through the curtains into the dormitory. Qin Feng rubbed his eyes, sat up from the bed, and saw Zhang Meng still snoring. He couldn't help but smile. Although yesterday's incident was tense, it was safe and sound.

"It's time to get up, Zhang Meng." Qin Feng reached out and pushed Zhang Meng next to him, but the other person turned over and continued to snore.

"Wake up! We're going to be late!" Chu Tian shouted loudly while brushing his teeth, trying to use his voice to wake up his teammates who were still sleeping.

"Just five minutes... let me sleep for another five minutes..." Zhang Meng muttered in a daze and covered his head with the pillow.

Ye Li stood at the door and shook her head helplessly: "What did this guy dream about last night? Did he dream about barbecue?"

Qin Feng smiled, clapped his hands and said, "Okay, there's nothing else I can do. I can only use my ultimate move." Then he leaned close to Zhang Meng's ear and whispered, "Zhang Meng, there's roasted whole lamb in the cafeteria this morning!"

Zhang Meng jumped up from the bed, his eyes wide open: "Roasted whole lamb?! Where is it?!"

Chu Tian almost choked on the toothpaste in his mouth and laughed: "What a foodie, Brother Feng can wake you up with just one sentence."

Zhang Meng came to his senses, scratched his head, and smiled awkwardly: "Uh, just now...did I hear it wrong?"

Qin Feng nodded: "That's right, there is no roasted whole lamb. But there is still breakfast in the cafeteria now. Let's eat it before going to the training ground, otherwise we will be late."

Qin Feng and his friends rushed to the cafeteria, had breakfast, and then went straight to the training ground. Vice President Feng Jian was waiting for them in the middle of the field with a serious expression on his face.

"Today's training will be quite special." Feng Jian said straight to the point, "There are a few new guests in the academy, and they will assist us in our training."

"Guests?" Ye Li asked curiously, "What kind of guests?"

Feng Jian smiled and said, "You will know in a moment. Now, let's warm up first."

Qin Feng and the others looked at each other and started their daily warm-up. Not long after, several people in different clothes walked into the training ground. They looked young, but each of them had an extraordinary temperament and was obviously not an ordinary person.

"Let me introduce you. These are outstanding students from other colleges." Feng Jian introduced, "They come here to exchange and learn, and also to improve everyone's practical experience."

Qin Feng and his friends hurried forward to greet him. The other party was obviously very friendly and responded with a smile. A young man who looked gentle and refined spoke first: "I am Yang Chen, from Xingluo Academy. I heard that you have many masters here, so I came here today to seek advice."

Another slender girl smiled and said, "I'm Lin Weiwei, a student from Sun Moon Academy. I'm glad to have the opportunity to spar with you."

Qin Feng nodded and responded with a smile: "Welcome, welcome, I am Qin Feng, and these are my partners. Let's have a good competition today."

Feng Jian arranged several small-scale duels for everyone to learn from each other. The first match was between Qin Feng and Yang Chen.

The two stood in the middle of the venue and nodded to each other. Qin Feng drew out the Dragon Shadow Sword, with blue lightning flashing on the sword, while Yang Chen summoned a slender sword, with a cold light flashing on the tip of the sword.

"I heard that you have superb sword skills, I will not show mercy." Yang Chen said with a smile.

Qin Feng smiled back: "Then just come over."

The battle was about to start. Yang Chen's swordsmanship was swift, and the sword shadows were like the wind. For a moment, only cold light flashed on the field. Qin Feng used softness to overcome hardness, and the Dragon Shadow Sword drew blue arcs in the air, dissolving Yang Chen's attacks one by one.

"What a fast sword!" Ye Li exclaimed from the sidelines.

"Yang Chen is indeed not simple." Chu Tian nodded in agreement, "But Brother Feng's reaction speed is not bad either."

Qin Feng and Yang Chen had exchanged dozens of moves, and their sword skills were almost equal. Suddenly, Yang Chen used a fierce sword move, with the tip of the sword pointing directly at Qin Feng's throat.

Qin Feng was not flustered at all, and the Dragon Shadow Sword came out smoothly. The sword light collided with Yang Chen's sword, making a crisp sound. The two of them took a step back, looked at each other, and smiled approvingly on their faces.

"You are very strong." Yang Chen praised.

Qin Feng smiled and said, "Same here."

After the competition, Feng Jian took everyone to rest. The benches beside the training ground were filled with tea and snacks, and everyone ate and chatted.

Lin Weiwei walked up to Qin Feng holding a piece of cake and said with a smile: "Your training ground is really good, much bigger than our academy's."

Qin Feng nodded and smiled politely: "Thank you for the compliment, we can learn from each other."

Lin Weiwei took a bite of the cake and suddenly lowered her voice and asked, "By the way, I heard that something unusual happened in your college not long ago. Do you have any inside information?"

Qin Feng was stunned, looked around, and after confirming that no one was paying attention, he replied in a low voice: "It's not a big deal, it's just that some remnants of the dark sect are doing something tricky."

Lin Weiwei blinked her eyes. "Really? Then I heard that you caught a man in a black robe yesterday. Is that true?"

Qin Feng smiled and said, "You know all this? You are well-informed. However, that person has been locked up now, so there shouldn't be any problems."

Lin Weiwei nodded thoughtfully and asked, "Did you find anything special, like secret manuals?"

Qin Feng's heart was moved, but he remained calm on the surface: "Where is the secret book? They are all rumors."

Lin Weiwei smiled and didn't ask any more questions: "That's right, we are still students, how can we have so many secrets."

Just as everyone was chatting and laughing, Feng Jian stood up again, his face looking more serious than before.

"Today's competition is just a warm-up," Feng Jian announced, "Next, we will have a real trial."

Qin Feng and his companions immediately perked up and listened attentively.

"This trial will simulate a real confrontation." Feng Jian continued, "You will be divided into two teams, one for defense and one for offense. The attacking team's mission is to capture the flag in the center of the training ground, while the defending team must hold the flag."

"Interesting." Yang Chen smiled, "This is much more interesting than ordinary competitions."

"So, how do we divide the teams?" Ye Li asked.

Feng Jian nodded: "Qin Feng, Chu Tian, ​​Zhang Meng and Lin Weiwei will form a group as the defenders. Yang Chen, Ye Li, Liu Xiaofei and Wang Mingyuan will form a group as the attackers."

"Okay, let's see how we grab the flag!" Yang Chen smiled and rubbed his hands, looking very motivated.

"We won't let you succeed easily." Qin Feng responded confidently.

The training ground was set up as a simulated battlefield, with a large flag erected in the center. Qin Feng and his team members stood around the flag, arranging their defensive strategies.

"I will be responsible for the front defense, Zhang Meng will be responsible for the left wing, Lin Weiwei will be responsible for the right wing, and Chu Tian will be responsible for guarding the rear." Qin Feng arranged, "Everyone be careful, they will definitely not give up easily."

Lin Weiwei nodded with an excited smile on her face: "Don't worry, my archery skills won't let them get close."

With Feng Jian's order, the trial officially began. Yang Chen and his men quickly launched an offensive, with Yang Chen leading the charge, his sword flashing, and heading straight for Qin Feng.

Qin Feng was not afraid at all, and he swung his Dragon Shadow Sword forward. The two men fought again, their sword shadows intertwined, and lightning and fire kept colliding.

At this moment, Ye Li launched an attack from the flank, and her frost fox released an icy breath, trying to freeze Qin Feng's movements. Lin Weiwei was quick-witted and shot an arrow at Ye Li, forcing the frost fox to retreat, and the offensive was frustrated.

"Good archery skills!" Zhang Meng praised. His eyes were fixed on Liu Xiaofei in front of him, ready to fight at any time.

Liu Xiaofei was as agile as a rabbit, moving quickly across the battlefield, trying to find the weak points in the defense line.

"Everyone, be careful, he may try to go around from behind!" Chu Tian reminded loudly. The Storm Wolf stood guard beside him, ready to attack at any time.

As time went by, the battle became more and more intense. Although Yang Chen's sword skills were superb, he was unable to break through Qin Feng's defense. Lin Weiwei's archery skills firmly suppressed Ye Li's attack, making it difficult for the opponent to approach the flag.

Seeing that time was running out, Yang Chen made up his mind and suddenly used a sword technique to force Qin Feng back a few steps, while shouting loudly: "Now!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Xiaofei immediately jumped up and rushed towards the flag. Qin Feng saw this and immediately shouted, "Zhang Meng, stop him!"

Zhang Meng was well prepared, and suddenly appeared in front of Liu Xiaofei, swinging his fist and hitting him. Liu Xiaofei didn't expect Zhang Meng to appear so quickly, and he quickly stepped back in shock, and was almost hit.

"Don't even think about succeeding!" Zhang Meng roared, swinging his fist at Liu Xiaofei again.

Liu Xiaofei was forced to retreat step by step. Seeing this, Yang Chen could only grit his teeth and fight with Qin Feng again. The two of them fought back and forth, and the shadows of their swords intertwined, and neither of them could gain an advantage.

"Time is almost up!" Chu Tian shouted, "We are about to win!"

Yang Chen gritted his teeth and suddenly increased the frequency of his attacks, trying to make a last-ditch effort. However, Qin Feng remained calm, wielding the Dragon Shadow Sword tightly and blocking all attacks.

Finally, with Feng Jian's whistle, the trial ended. The defenders successfully held the flag.

"Well done!" Qin Feng breathed a sigh of relief and patted Zhang Meng on the shoulder with a smile, "If it weren't for you this time, I'm afraid we would have lost."

Zhang Meng scratched his head and smiled innocently: "Haha, it's all thanks to everyone."

Yang Chen came over. Although he looked a little disappointed, he still said magnanimously: "You won this time, but we will definitely take the flag next time!"

Lin Weiwei responded with a smile: "You are always welcome to challenge me again."

Everyone sat together, drinking tea and talking about the competition. Although the two sides were rivals, there was no hostility, but more recognition and respect for each other's strength.

"I have gained a lot today." Qin Feng thought, looking up at the horizon in the distance. Although they have achieved a lot of victories, he knows that there are more challenges waiting for them in the future.

No matter what, he and his partners will meet every challenge and protect their academy and dreams.
