The Martial Artist Turned Movie Mogul-Chapter 891 - 890. Little Cicada

Ten minutes later, Ren Xiazhi’s physical strength reached a critical point.

Tang Shu raised her right hand again and unceremoniously took a shot at the instructor opposite her. The familiar yellow smoke once again drifted through the air, followed by the instructor’s curses.

"That female student, what the hell is your name? Report it now!"

Damn it, it’s so frustrating!

This girl’s marksmanship is too damn weird, every time just when he’s about to take down this kid, she fires, hitting the target every time, leaving him aching all over.

And what’s even more intolerable is that she just shot him to pieces! All because this kid beneath her couldn’t hold on any longer.

He’s never felt so humiliated in his life!

The instructor gasped for air with his body trembling, whether from pain or anger, it was hard to tell.

Ren Xiazhi, who was closest to him, swallowed out of fear and backed away several meters without hesitation due to his instinct to pursue benefits and avoid harm, despite being close to his exhaustion point.

Oh my God, this guy is terrifying, he looks like he could pounce at any second and give me a brutal beating. I must keep my distance.

Others: "..."

Everyone’s gaze swept back and forth between the instructor and Tang Shu, a mix of fear, admiration, and an odd, want-to-laugh-but-can’t expression; everyone was stunned. The whole field fell into an eerie silence, with only that deadly glare seemingly taking physical form as it shot towards Tang Shu.

The trainees were baffled, what exactly was going on? As ones being evaluated, shouldn’t they be keeping their tails between their legs and staying far away from the instructor, given the risk of being weeded out at any misstep?

But how come these three freaks were playing the instructors like fools? Had they walked into the wrong set?

While everyone questioned their life choices, the person who was called out remained quite calm, stuffing her pistol into her waistband, "You are already out of the game, no comment."

Joke, as if she’s dumb enough to give away her identity. Waiting to be retaliated against, huh—

"Let’s go."

Zhou Daniu shrugged, stepped forward to prop up the collapsed Ren Xiazhi, and followed Tang Shu’s lead without hesitation, even taking a backpack from the person on their way out.

Uh—supposedly there’s some kind of terminal inside? A good find.

The remaining five trainees looked at each other, "What do we do now?"

"Let’s go, the crisis is over, and we are still alive!"

"Wait, they took the spoils of victory, can we also...?"

No sooner had he spoken than four pairs of deadly eyes landed on him, sending shivers down his spine.

"No, no, never mind that."

"No, this is our spoil of victory, we must take it!"

One of the trainees’ eyes gleamed with a better-to-take-it mentality as he grabbed a camouflaged backpack and ran, completely ignoring the harsh glares directed at him.

"Hey instructor, don’t look at me, I’m not the one who got you. As the saying goes, there is a head for a debt, you should go after them."

Heh, I’m just picking up the leftovers, aren’t I?

Instructors: "..."

Are all the trainees this shameless nowadays?

"Terminal devices are indeed great stuff!"

Zhou Daniu, gnawing on grilled meat while sitting on a stone, expressed his heartfelt admiration with eyes wide and dark, not wanting to move away from the tiny red and blue dots in front of him.

Just a day before, the first thing Ren Xiazhi did when he got the device was to tap away frenetically, changing their three little red dots into green ones, which allowed them to ’cheat’ their way forward and successfully infiltrate the enemy camp.

"This little gadget let me eat grilled meat peacefully without worrying about being suddenly KO’ed by an instructor, it’s really fantastic!"

Zhou Daniu, eating his grilled meat, felt like he had reached the pinnacle of his life, while Ren Xiazhi hammering away at the keyboard wasn’t so lucky, looking all grimy as if he had just crawled out of the mud. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com

"I did just crawl out, what do you mean ’like’?!"

The youngster immediately protested, a young face almost on the verge of crying, "For an entire day and night, minus the 4 hours for rest, we KO’ed 14 instructors. Now my whole body hurts."

Anyone would break down after being thrown around countless times, and the fact that he hadn’t turned on these two unscrupulous teammates was a show of his magnanimity!

Tang Shu laughed, "Don’t be like that, at least your reflexes have improved a lot."

The saying that practice leads to true knowledge and real combat can greatly improve one’s physical fitness wasn’t wrong at all.

"Hmph—"

Ren Xiazhi couldn’t rebuff that statement, he just bit angrily into a piece of roasted wild chicken and went back to work with his head down.

Zhou Daniu approached again, draping an arm over his shoulder, "Xiaozhi, how many instructors are left now?"

"There are twelve left, and I’m not called Xiaozhi anymore."

"What a nice name it is. Your parents must have thought of the cicadas in summer when they named you."

"Not at all! Xiaozhi clearly means knowledgeable about summer."

Ren Xiazhi pouted in strong opposition, only to be promptly suppressed by Zhou Daniu, who had high Combat Power, "Xiaozhi, you may have improved a lot these two days, but you’re still far from my level."

So, what I say goes!

"Hmph, you didn’t help at all when I was sparring with instructors, only Sister Tang Shu ensured my safety."

His words were all too true, within these two days, Tang Shu had become like an elder sister caring for a baby, casting an indelible shadow over the instructors while training the young boy, receiving countless shouts of rage each day that the whole Northwest Forest was seething with resentment.

The instructors who encountered their trio had terrible luck, suffering not only from physical assault but also a crushed self-esteem, ground into the dust.

After two days and nights of relentless training and marching, the trio had reached the edge of the Northwest Forest, only a step away from their destination.

Ren Xiazhi tossed away the bone in his hand, his hands moving over the terminal like fleeting shadows, his eyes rapidly scanning all the information on the screen.

"Sister Tang Shu, we can reach our destination tonight. According to the positioning, we’re the first ones to arrive."

According to the evaluation rules, they could completely get into the top three.

Tang Shu took a sip of water, "How many students are left now?"

"Including us, there are 9 left. The elimination rate is pretty high."

In five days, the number of students being evaluated dropped from 50 to 9, which shows the brutality of the assessment. Of course, compared to the eliminated students, the instructors who got ’headshot’ had an even more pitiful sight.

"So, besides us, there are six more, right? Where are they now?"

"The nearest is three kilometers away from us. That team has three people left, and they’re the strongest."
