The large amount of food swallowed by the whale was transformed into the purest energy, nourishing Li Yao's body non-stop, making every dry cell refilled, strong, and full of vitality.

"In the next month, I will practice crazily and strive to return to my peak state. I will definitely go all out for the college entrance examination this year!"

Li Yao clenched his fist and swung it vigorously, the sound of tearing silk was heard in the air, and a faint white ripple appeared from the place where his fist swept, slowly rippling away.

This white ripple made Ding Lingdang's eyes shine: "Are you confident that you will be admitted to the 'Ninth University'?"

Li Yao was silent for a moment, then clenched his fists tighter: "My spiritual root is torn, and the development rate is only 7%. If I were given a year, I am confident that it will recover to 70%, and even hit Xeons with more than 90%. Realm! But one month is too short, and frankly speaking, I don’t have the confidence to win.”

"However, even if there is only a 1% chance, I will use 100% effort to fight - whether I win or lose, I will only know after I have fought. It is not my style to give up if I have not tried!"

"Very well, I knew that you were destined to be a member of our Great Desolate War Academy!"

Ding Lingdang did not hide the "hungry and thirsty" light in his eyes, as if he wanted to devour Li Yao in one gulp.

Li Yao was stunned—Shenhai University had given up on him, and Chixiao No. 2 High School even forced him to suspend his studies. Unexpectedly, Ding Lingdang still extended an invitation to him on behalf of the Dahuang Zhanyuan!

Li Yao was puzzled: "My spiritual root development rate is only 7%. In the eyes of most people, I have become a 'useless person'. You Great Desolation War Institute, still optimistic about me?"

Ding Lingdang looked directly at him, and said seriously: "When we first met, I told you that there are nine elite joint schools in the Federation, eight of which train comprehension practitioners, and our Great Wilderness Academy—only trains real cultivators. Warrior! This is not my exaggeration, but the foundation of the Great Desolate War Academy!"

Ding Lingdang sat down next to Li Yao, and told him about the origin of the Great Desolation War Academy.

Only then did Li Yao realize that the Great Wilderness War Academy is very different from the other eight elite joint schools.

The rest of the elite joint schools, except for the First Federation Military Academy, were all founded by various sects of practice at the beginning of the founding of the Federation.

From the very beginning, it has been an elite line, which belongs to the typical "academic school".

The purpose of the establishment of the Federal First Military Academy is roughly the same, to train practitioners who belong to the army.

Therefore, these eight universities are very interested in the cultivation potential of the students, especially the development of spiritual roots, which is almost not enough.

The Great Desolate War Academy is different. The Great Desolate War Academy was established spontaneously by casual cultivators and folk warriors on the monster wasteland. It is an out-and-out wild way.

—The tens of millions of square kilometers of land in the north of the Federation, although the natural environment is extremely harsh, with yellow sand all over the sky and Gobi everywhere, there are rich resources and spar mines underground. For hundreds of years, it has attracted countless adventurers to come here to pan for gold. Settle down and multiply.

However, this place is the area where monsters are most rampant in Tianyuan Realm. There are as many monsters as there were in the "Dongji Monster Country" back then.

According to the conjectures of many experts and scholars in the field of comprehension, in the depths of the Great Northern Wilderness of the Federation, there are countless gaps in space, which can lead to another world controlled by the demon clan—the blood demon realm!

The Great Wilderness is the border between the Tianyuan Realm and the Blood Demon Realm. Powerful monsters and demon clans from the Blood Demon Realm can pass through the space gap at any time and pour into the Tianyuan Realm continuously.

The Great Wilderness has also become the eternal front line of the Star Federation. For hundreds of years, the war has been raging, and it is known as the "Monster Wilderness"!

Although the federal army stationed heavy troops in the wilderness, and the major cultivating sects would form hunting teams to go deep into the wilderness to kill demons, but the wilderness spanned thousands of miles, and after all, there were many places that the army and cultivating sects could not take care of.

Human beings living in the wilderness will encounter monsters at any time, and those who have been eliminated for hundreds of years and are still alive are all brave and fierce fighters who are not afraid of death!

Natural selection, survival of the fittest, and more fights with monsters, these strong people have also become fierce and powerful existences like monsters, and even ordinary people with poor aptitude have survived hundreds of bloody battles. Even if you don't die, you may be promoted to a cultivator!

In order to survive, these powerhouses naturally gathered together and passed on their fighting experience to their kind.

In the beginning, it was just a very simple "martial arts exchange meeting", "hunting experience lectures" and other non-scheduled social activities. Everyone sat around and grilled monster meat while learning martial arts and exchanging experiences.

Later, an organization called "Great Desolation War Academy" was formed. Some of the strong men who were seriously injured in the fight with monsters and were not suitable for fighting the enemy were in this organization, teaching martial arts and combat experience to young people.

After hundreds of years of development, in the century-old bloody battle with monsters, there are more and more strong human beings in the Great Wilderness, and even many high-level cultivators have emerged from the mountains of corpses and seas of blood. The strength and teaching level of the Great Wilderness War Institute It has also been improved again and again, and finally ranks among the "Nine Bigs"!

As one of the "Nine Greats", the Great Wilderness War Institute still maintains the tradition of roughness, brutality, and emphasis on actual combat. When selecting students, the standards are not the same as those of the other "Eight Greats".

To become a cultivator, one needs to develop one's spiritual root at 100% and awaken one's spiritual root.

But becoming a warrior doesn't have to be so complicated. Even if the development of the spiritual root is only 1%, as long as the fist can be clenched, as long as the blood can still boil, as long as the roar of the powerful monster can be charged without changing face — that's enough!

The Great Desolation War Academy does not train practitioners, only warriors!

Ding Lingdang stared at Li Yao with piercing eyes, and said seriously:

"You just woke up, I don't know how much your body can recover, so I can't give you any guarantees now, but please believe in the sincerity of the Great Desolate War Academy, Li Yao, if you agree, the next one Month, I hope to observe your cultivation at a close distance, further confirm your recovery status, and at the same time strive for preferential conditions for you. The time for 'special recruitment' has passed and it is difficult to arrange again, but 'reduction in admission' should be no problem. I will try my best to get the highest score reduction admission for you!"

Li Yao was finally moved.

The style displayed by the Great Desolate War Institute is completely different from that of the Deep Sea University.

Ding Lingdang has a unique charm that is different from Xie Tingxian's. It is the kind of charm that will stick to it after setting a goal and will never give up halfway.

I can't help being excited, I want to fight side by side with her, and fight to the end!

"How about it, student Li Yao, I saw the flame in your eyes, and you're already moved, right! If you're a man, hurry up, let's work together in the next month, and create an unprecedented miracle, so that those who look down on you Everyone regrets going! Then we will enter the martial arts department of the Great Desolation War Academy and become an all-powerful fighter, okay!"

Ding Lingdang was full of passion and completely burned!

Li Yao also erupted, he punched his fist violently, and growled, "That's not good!"

"Ah?" Ding Lingdang blinked, with a dull expression, "What did you say?"

"No, I won't enter the martial arts department of the Great Desolate War Academy." Li Yao repeated seriously.

Ding Lingdang's pretty face completely collapsed:

"Hey, hey, classmate Li Yao, we ate very happily just now, and we chatted very speculatively. I introduced the glorious history of the Great Desolation War Institute to you, and the flames in your eyes are also blazing. You are obviously very happy. Interested, it was too straightforward to refuse in the end!"

"Speculation is speculation, happiness is happiness, flames are flickering, but dreams—you can't trade them!"

Li Yao looked directly into Ding Lingdang's beautiful eyes, and said solemnly, "Miss Xiaoling, I am very grateful for everything you have done for me over the past month. When others don't think highly of me and give up on me, only you The Zhanyuan is still optimistic about me and believes that I am a man who can be made—this 'belief' is the most precious and priceless treasure for me at this moment!"

"The history of the founding of the Great Desolate War Institute and the philosophy it upholds are indeed very appetizing to me-you should have read my profile and know that I was born in the tomb of the magic weapon. I am a little garbage bug who has struggled to survive at the bottom since I was a child. , is out and out grassroots, a person like me should go to the Great Desolate War Academy!"

"However, I always want to become a craftsman. This is not only my dream, but also my promise to my dead relatives!"

"The martial arts department of the Great Wilderness War Academy is the strongest in the Federation. I believe that there are many teenagers who aspire to become the strongest fighters. At this moment, like me, they are doing their best to chase their dreams and attack the martial arts department of the Great Wilderness Theater."

"If I give up my dream of becoming a weapon refiner because of 'moving', 'trust', because of the speculative chat with you, etc., and reluctantly enter the martial arts department of the Great Wilderness Academy—this is both a dream The insult is also an insult to the martial arts department of the Great Wilderness Battle Institute, and it is also an insult to the thousands of students who are desperately cultivating and eager to be admitted to the martial arts department of the Great Wilderness Battle Institute!"

"So, unfortunately, I can't choose the martial arts department of the Great Wilderness War Academy. My first choice is the Artifact Refining Department of Deep Sea University!"

"As for the trust and help that the Great Desolate War Academy gave me, I will always keep it in my heart. One day I will become a craftsman, and after making a career out of it, I will definitely repay you for everything you have done for me today."

"But once the dream is determined, I must stick to it. No one can change my path!"

Ding Lingdang listened to him quietly, with a lonely expression on her face: "So determined? Don't even give us a 1% chance?"

Li Yao hesitated for a moment.

For some reason, Xie Tingxian's slightly hesitant face and Ding Lingdang's wolfish appearance suddenly flashed in his mind.

Just as she was about to nod her head hard, Ding Lingdang smiled heartily, showing her white teeth: "You are hesitating, that means I still have a 1% chance? I remember 'someone' said just now, even if there is only 1% chance 100% chance, and will put 100% effort into fighting, after fighting, it doesn't matter whether you win or lose, but giving up without fighting is not his style!"

"Very good, very good, this sentence speaks out my heart, and I think so too!"

"It doesn't matter if you don't agree to me now, I will pester you like brown sugar for the next month, and the Great Wilderness War Institute will also offer the most attractive preferential terms, so that you can fully understand our sincerity!"

"Unless a month later, I saw with my own eyes that you filled in the seven words 'Deep Sea University's Artifact Refining Department' on the college entrance examination volunteer form, before that, I will stick to it like you and never give up!"

"why?"

Li Yao really couldn't figure it out, he was not a narcissistic person, he really couldn't see anything in himself that deserved Ding Lingdang's persistence, not abandoning, not giving up!

Ding Lingdang stood up from the flame wings, opened his arms, tapped his beautiful feet, staggered to the front of the Red Flame Battle Shuttle, leaned on his big toe, and stood on a bunch of solidified flames.

Under the reflection of the bloody setting sun, it looks like a beautiful goddess.

She squinted her eyes, feeling the warmth of the setting sun to her heart's content, and was silent for a long time. When Li Yao thought she would not answer this question, she slowly opened her mouth:

"Because I see myself in you."

"What do you mean?" Li Yao was completely confused.

But this time, Ding Lingdang just smiled lightly, no matter how much Li Yao asked, he didn't answer.

She just stood there quietly, looking at the ever-changing scenery, her eyes were a little blurred, as if she had fallen into a distant memory.
