My Salvation Game Became true?!. Chapter 148 – Chapter 148: Chapter 146: The Girl Group and the Boy Band

Chapter 148: Chapter 146: The Girl Group and the Boy Band
 

“The fog is coming in.”

“There's something strange about this white fog.”

“Even with my eyesight, I can only see about ten meters ahead.”

Xi Lan was astonished and looked towards Yiluo Xi.

The girl touched her nose and said, “This is… one of the necessary steps in mountain climbing, don't worry.”

She had asked before.

She knew there would be a white fog assessment during the climb, but since all the participants were from her own Sisterhood, and it was she who recommended them, this assessment could be waived. They just needed to follow the mountain path and walk upwards.

As for the rest…

Yiluo Xi, carrying a wooden staff, tilted her head slightly to look around.

From time to time, she could see the white fog surging and transforming into soaring cranes or pouncing beasts.

She opened her mouth slightly in awe, then hurriedly closed it.

Looking straight ahead, calm and composed… yet her eyes couldn't help but drift to the side.

“So beautiful!”

Zi Luo hopped and jumped around. When she saw a crane formed from the fog perched not far away, she couldn't resist approaching it, carefully extending her hand, stealthily, stealthily reaching out to touch it.

Slap—

The crane extended its wings and swatted her hand away before taking flight.

“Eh, why did it leave?” Zi Luo felt disappointed, but when she saw other birds of prey formed from the fog, her spirits lifted again, filled with both astonishment and joy.

The other girls were also chattering and amazed.

As there was no assessment, this stretch of the journey was filled only with wonder for them, not fear. They walked and stopped for a good while before reaching the training base halfway up the mountain.

The thick fog gradually dissipated before their eyes.

A magnificent training base emerged before them.

Nowadays, Training Base One had long since shed its former holiday resort appearance. It had been remodeled, with some buildings demolished and replaced by spacious training grounds, as well as the construction of many new buildings and facilities.

Money makes the world go round.

The current Ember has money, power, people, and strength. Expanding the base was all too simple, and even now the outskirts of the training base were being developed in full swing.

Excavators were digging up soil and sand while trucks brought in loads of construction materials.

All these were not unusual, but what truly drew attention were some people dressed in grey trainee attire.

They moved swiftly and effortlessly through the rugged and steep mountain woods. Some wielded large axes, felling thick trees with a few solid chops, while others were in charge of lifting and dragging them to the open ground. They moved with ease, if not soaring with each step.

“Are they all Awakeners?”

Yiluo Xi also wanted to know the answer to that question; it was her first time here too!

Just as she racked her brain trying to figure out how to respond, a rough voice came from the side.

“Awakeners? No, that's not it.”

“Chopping wood, carrying stones, paving roads, tearing down walls… these are all basic training tasks. Only regular trainees need to do them. Awakeners are already on advanced courses.”

“Not Awakeners, huh, makes sense. How could there be so many Awakeners?” thought White Frost.

Suddenly, she realized something was amiss. If they weren't Awakeners, where did they get such great strength!

While she was pondering, the burly man who had spoken earlier walked towards them.

This man wore a black combat suit that appeared to be partially ragged, as if torn and bitten by Mysterious Evil. However, these marks did not make the man seem disheveled, but rather fierce, as if he had repeatedly charged in and out of the Evil Tide, fighting his way through bloodshed.

He exuded an air of ferocity.

This fierce man scanned the group and said, “Judging by your appearance, you're newcomers, eh? Do you need me to show you around?”

He might have meant well.

But fresh from the battlefield, he bore a terrifying aura of death.

The other three burly men with him were also muscular, sturdy, and had faces full of ferocity.

In front of them, the girls from the Sisterhood, all quite young, seemed like harmless little rabbits.

Faced with the overwhelming fear that hit them, some of the girls began to tremble.

As the leader, Yiluo Xi obviously could not let her sisters be bullied.

She snorted coldly, stepped forward, and lifted her head, fearlessly staring down Xing Jing Lei, “Who said we are newcomers! Remember this, I am Yiluo Xi, a senior member of Ember!”

So she was a senior like him.

Xing Jing Lei's gaze sharpened.

He surveyed the group and saw that Yiluo Xi was leading about a dozen girls. Although some seemed to shake with fear, barely stronger than chicks, a few appeared decent, at least qualified as warriors.

They barely caught his eye.

“You're a senior warrior? So, you're also here to register the newcomers into the club?”

“Coincidentally, so am I.”

“Let's get acquainted. I am Xing Jing Lei, the man who aspires to surpass Black Blade.”

Exactly because he wanted to surpass Black Blade, Xing Jing Lei fought exceptionally fiercely during the mission to the Ghastly Realm's gate abroad.

He often charged into the throng of Mysterious Evil beings, engaging in close combat with large and extrlarge ones.

Even with his newly learned skill ‘Iron Skin', he got injured again and again, yet it only fueled his fighting spirit.

With a single glance, Black Blade trapped him in a terrifying formation of malintent. To surpass the formidable Black Blade, one had to be more ferocious, more wicked.

Only ferocity can defeat ferocity!

As for Yiluo Xi? He didn't take her lightly. The soft and delicate An Jianyou was quite terrifying, but compared to these slender and fragile women, the punches from brother Black Blade, the ones that hit the flesh, that was the real heat, the mark of a true man.

He led his group towards the interior of the base.

As they walked away, Yiluo Xi mumbled, “Weird guy.”

Black Blade and all that, she had no idea. She had been struggling with which way to go and asking for directions would have been too embarrassing.

That settles it.

With a grand gesture, she declared, “Let's go, we should register too.”

Following the few burly men, they walked deep inside the base, the roaring outside gradually fading away until they reached a hall-like area.

There weren't many people here, with two young ladies sitting at the registration desk, entering information.

There was also a young man standing upright, holding a tablet and occasionally swiping on it while looking up at the few men brought by Xing Jing Lei.

“Are you the Mysterious Evil Hunters ‘Mountain Bear', ‘Soul-Entering Blade', and ‘Explosive Warrior'?” he asked.

The three were all very muscular; it seemed that strongmen tended to stick together.

One of the strongmen said, “Yes, yes, yes, I am the Hunter ‘Explosive Warrior', my Ability is to condense fruits that can explode, and my Awakening characteristic… is these thick, powerful arms.”

He lifted his right arm, showing off the twisted muscles.

Both his right and left arms were unusually strong… or swollen, even larger than those of other muscular men.

Xu Tian observed for a while and said, “Such Awakening characteristics are also a kind of side effect, but don't worry, the mentors have ways to help you eliminate these side effects.”

The muscular ‘Explosive Warrior' looked at his arms and fell silent.

The other two, the man with two great swords on his back was ‘Soul-Entering Blade', with an Ability of blade harm, and the most towering, muscular giant known as ‘Mountain Bear', with an Ability matching his name – transforming his hands into bear paws, which might allow him to turn into a real mountain bear as his level increased.

“Your information has already been reported by Xing Team Leader and passed the preliminary review, but here I still need to formally ask on behalf of the organization,” he continued.

“Have you understood the situation and are you sincerely willing to embark on this path?”

Before coming here, the three ‘Explosive Warriors' had already been very clear about the mystery and power of Sisterhood, understanding that this was a once-in-lifetime opportunity.

“We are willing,” they said.

“We have followed Xing Leader here.”

“For the continuation of humanity, we are bound by duty!”

Each of the three shouted more loudly than the last.

Actually, it was just a formality. Xu Tian was well aware that if they hadn't passed the review, they wouldn't have been able to come to this registration place, but the ceremony was a necessary step.

“The specific initiation ceremony will take place tomorrow, where you might have the chance to meet the mentor,” he said.

The mentor!

At the mention of this, the three strongmen became a little excited.

…

After Xing Jing Lei and his group left, the next batch for registration was Yiluo Xi's group of girls.

“Ordinary people need to go through uniform trainee training and assessment. Those who perform excellently can obtain official membership and receive the baptism granted by the mentor,” he explained.

“Baptism?”

“It means Awakening. The mentor bestows upon us the power of Awakening, so for the mentor, for humanity, we must fight,” he said.

At those words, Xu Tian showed a look of reverence, pausing before he continued. “The three of you are Tier-One Awakeners, and can directly join. The oath of membership will be the same as with the ‘Explosive Warriors' tomorrow. As long as the conditions are met, you can also be promoted to Tier-Two through the mentor's baptism. It's not difficult.”

Xi Lan and White Frost were somewhat confused.

Unlike Mountain Bear and the others, Yiluo Xi hadn't told them anything before they arrived, only saying she was taking them to a good place.

But their understanding of this place was almost non-existent.

Yiluo Xi was staring down at her toes, head slightly tilted, listening attentively, not daring to miss a single word.

When he talked about the recent catastrophic event, when six gates to the Ghastly Realm appeared at the same time and powerful members of Sisterhood rushed to help, the girls let out a series of gasps.

“So many disasters occurred at the same time!” they exclaimed.

“Wow, we from Sisterhood are the real heroes!”

“Just a thought can span a thousand miles… Is that the mentor? So, so awesome!”

The girl was at a loss for words and only managed to utter how awesome it was.

Yiluo Xi, too, was hearing this for the first time, her mouth falling open in surprise. Noticing that no one was looking her way, she quickly closed it.

Stay calm.

How could I, the boss, be surprised!

But she couldn't help it, darn it!

Yiluo Xi finally had a bit of understanding of Sisterhood, while the other girls were already being arranged by the registration center to choose their own residences, familiarize themselves with the base, and prepare for training.

Awakeners need to prepare for the initiation ceremony tomorrow. As for before the ceremony, that still means training.

They had so many shortcomings; they had to shore up their basics.

Yiluo Xi was unaware of these things. She was just a little dazed. How would she be arranged? She didn't have a place to stay here!

“As the leader, Yiluo Xi, you can have a separate residence within the Secret Realm,” he said.

The Secret Realm?

Wait a minute, she was a bit confused.

She heard the young man in front of her saying, “The Secret Realm is the true headquarters of Sisterhood. As this is your first return, Yiluo Xi, you should visit the Secret Realm and might even meet the mentor there.”

Yiluo Xi was even more baffled.

It felt like she was just as clueless as White Frost and the others had been before they arrived at the base.

She walked up to the ancient silver-white gate.

She watched as the gate slowly opened, emitting a golden glow from within.

A chime sounded.

“Sisterhood senior member ‘Yiluo Xi', identity verification passed, would you like to enter the Secret Realm?”

Yiluo Xi: Huh?
