Chapter 364: Disaster Strikes!

September 3rd.

With his parents watching, Ye Long carried his suitcase onto the high-speed train.

"Are you really okay with letting Ye Long go to the capital all by himself? You don’t know how society is these days…"

"He has to go this way, he can only rely on himself."

"But Ye Long is not Ye Qiu!"

"I know, ever since that big argument and him leaving home that year, he has never come back. You’ve been…"

"Yes, I am still angry now!"

"I am mad at him for risking his life. After all these years alone outside, he has changed so much, and now he’s running off to the front line like a madman. Isn’t he just going to his death?!"

"Honestly, you may not have seen the current Ye Qiu, I feel… he seems like a different person."

。。。

On the high-speed train.

Ye Long packed his suitcase into the overhead compartment, then sat down by the window with his backpack.

"Hmm, what’s that?"

Ye Long looked out at the crowd outside the window and suddenly saw a black cat emitting black smoke all over its body.

The black cat seemed to notice him, but then disappeared in an instant.

Ye Long rubbed his eyes, "Strange…"

Without much thought, as the train started moving, Ye Long wanted to take the opportunity to take a nap, but then a news bulletin suddenly appeared on the TV on the train.

"After months of effort, our frontline troops have finally defeated the first layer Guardian Larik!"

"This is a small step for success, but a great leap for humanity!"

"Let’s once again review this historic moment!"

The scene on TV quickly switched to a recording of The Sealed Land, showing countless armies attacking Larik alongside many talented individuals.

The people inside the high-speed train were all watching with great interest, listening to the slogans on TV, and many of them were getting excited along with the action!

It was noticeable that there were many young people on the high-speed train who, like Ye Long, were preparing to apply to Dragon Star Military University.

As they watched the TV screen, time passed slowly.

When Larik finally fell, everyone in the entire train car cheered together, celebrating this historic moment!

"Cool!"

"Amazing!"

"One day, I will stand there too!"

"What talent have you awakened?"

"My skin petrified, this is me absorbing a Lizardman card awakening!"

"That feels a bit unfair, it’s best not to awaken your talent when joining the military academy. If you graduate as an outstanding student, the school will give you talent cards, and they are all top-notch!"

"No no no, the school will at most give you some higher-level cards, the top cards are only given to the top ten students after graduation."

"But it’s really difficult to enter the school without talent!"

"A friend told me, entering the school is not about how strong your talent is, it mainly depends on three things."

"Things like normal mental and physical health are a given, after all, there are requirements even if you join the normal military."

"There are three admission criteria for Longxing Academy, the first is patriotism, loyalty to the people and the party, the second is to undergo a basic strength adaptation test."

"They’ll see if you’re better suited for magic or physical training, and recommend the suitable Magic Potion System for you. If you’re not suitable, you’ll be passed over."

"Isn’t there also a technology system and immortal cultivation?"

"The country’s technology system hasn’t cracked the technology yet, I heard there’s something called a ‘technology black box’."

"A technology black box…"

"What about the immortality system?"

"It’s mainly because the immortality system takes too long to master. To achieve it quickly, one can only use the Magic Potion System."

"That makes sense."

"And what about the third criteria?"

"Once you are determined to be compatible with a certain Magic Potion, the third criteria isn’t very important anymore."

"The third criteria is for those who are naturally gifted. They will test if your talent has practical value or potential."

"I see."

Ye Long sat in a corner holding his bag, quietly listening to everyone.

Gradually, everyone became tired of chatting and started to squint their eyes.

Ye Long couldn’t sleep, so he put on his headphones and started watching videos.

Ouch!

Ye Long tightly covered his eyes until the pain disappeared before opening them.

He had just watched a video of someone releasing a fireball.

Ye Long tried to reach out his right hand, ready to release a fireball.

But only a small flame rose in his palm and quickly extinguished.

What is this?

"Why is this happening?"

Ye Long tried to create a fireball, but as the flames rose, he started to feel a splitting headache!

"Ouch!"

Quickly, Ye Long extinguished the fireball, his forehead covered in cold sweat.

"Could it be because I don’t have magic powers, and this is not my natural talent, so I can only release fireballs by burning my mental energy?"

Ye Long took a deep breath, realizing that this ability wasn’t as powerful as he imagined.

Ye Long turned off his phone, as his eyes always stung for a while after copying talents, so he couldn’t do it constantly.

"We must be in the capital city now…"

Looking at the scenery outside the window, Ye Long felt a glimmer of excitement rising in his heart, "This is my first time visiting the capital city, it’s truly… hmm?"

"What is that?"

The view outside the window sped by rapidly, and in a trance, Ye Long seemed to see a huge black Shadow One flash past.

"Did you see something just now?"

"I don’t think so…"

"It looked like a dark cloud."

Suddenly, there were a few quiet discussions behind him. Ye Long was stunned, and so were the others.

So, what he saw just now, was it not his imagination?

BOOM!!!

Just then, the high-speed train suddenly stopped, and a huge impact sound came from the front, causing the entire carriage to be lifted into the air!

Ye Long’s pupils shrank to the smallest point at that moment!

All the people inside the carriage were lifted up at that moment!

Boom!!!

With a loud noise, the entire carriage overturned, numerous luggage spilled out, and the people inside were thrown around like in a washing machine!

Bang!!

After another loud sound, the carriage stopped rolling.

Blood had filled the carriage, numerous bloody handprints were on the glass, the ceiling, and the floor.

Ye Long only saw a blood-red scene in front of him, blood flowing into his eyes from his forehead, numerous bodies in various positions, and the strong smell of blood entering his nostrils directly!

This scene made it hard for him to breathe!

"Why… why…"

Ye Long reached for his forehead and ended up with a handful of blood.

"I… I, am I… going to die?"

Ye Long felt his breathing become especially difficult, then a man whose skin had turned to stone suddenly stood up.

The man turned around in confusion, looking at the bodies piling up in the carriage and the flowing blood, his breathing becoming increasingly rapid.

"Why… why is this happening?"

Just then, a weak voice came from under the seat.

"Help… help me, my gift is healing…"
