The results of the middle school group competition: Ouyang Siyu, Lin Yin, Zhang Xuanyi, and a younger brother who practiced ancient martial arts successfully advanced.

It seems that in the final round of the upcoming promotion tournament, someone will still face his own people.

The next round of the competition will be a 6-choose-3 contest, with the winner receiving a guaranteed spot. As to why the top three weren't chosen for the promotion, it was partly due to time constraints. After all, the tight competition schedule necessitated a balanced allocation of time and resources, and participants needed rest. Consecutive matches wouldn't guarantee a fair outcome. Furthermore, the hospital believes that luck, to some extent, is a reflection of skill.

Some people opposed this statement while others agreed. In the end, the minority obeyed the majority and it was decided.

Tomorrow's schedule is also the morning session for the primary school group and the afternoon session for the middle school group.

After the livestream ended, Li Xingchen and Zero quickly packed up and headed for the forest. They were there to complete Li Xingchen's new mission: to retrieve the shell of a Earth Spirit Turtle.

The ground turtle is huge in size and usually lives in places near water sources with sandy soil. One of its hobbies is growing vegetables!

Yes, you read that right.

Due to its large size, the ground turtle has an astonishing appetite. After returning from foraging, it excretes the seeds of the fruits and vegetables it ate near its burrow.

If you see a patch of green on a piece of yellow earth, and you can also find a huge cave in this patch of green, then you can basically be sure that it is its nest.

It can be said that it is very easy to find.

The reason why they are classified as mid-level, intermediate monsters is because of their extremely hard shells and skin, and ordinary swords and guns cannot cause any damage to them.

When Li Xingchen was in the forest before, he was lucky enough to catch a ground turtle. At that time, it was clamoring for turtle soup. However, no matter how hard he chopped it, he could not hurt it at all. In the end, he had no choice but to catch it alive and let Zero deal with it.

But the Earth Spirit Turtle also knows the earth shield technique and the earth escape technique.

Moreover, its speed of escaping underground is extremely fast. If you use a forceful attack, it may escape before ordinary people can break through its defense.

On the way back, the Earth Spirit Turtle ran away several times. Fortunately, Xiao Hei's nose was very sensitive, and after a lot of effort, the man and the leopard finally delivered the food to Zero.

Therefore, even though the turtle soup of the Earth Spirit Turtle is extremely delicious, Li Xingchen rarely messes with it, because it is really too tiring to deliver the turtle on the way.

There is another reason.

The Earth Spirit Tortoise itself is not aggressive and lives a diligent and peaceful life. It eats a vegetarian diet of various vegetables, fruits, weeds and flowers.

And they don't just eat the fruits and weeds. They also carefully pull out the seeds and take care of them so that the fruits and weeds can grow again. They are self-sufficient and don't cause any trouble to society at all.

Since Li Xingchen got to know the honest character of these "old farmers", he basically stopped looking for trouble with them.

In his entire life, he had only drunk Earth Spirit Turtle Soup twice.

But the third time will be soon, and the mission requires only the turtle shell, so he naturally won't waste the turtle meat.

Before the sun set, the two of them ran quickly towards the direction of navigation No. 2, one in front and one behind.

Their destination was quite remote, almost at the edge of the forest. Time was running out, and they had to make every second count, as they still had to stew the turtle meat when they got back.

Number Zero, who had not tested Li Xingchen's physical skills for a long time, rushed in front, jumping back and forth between the branches like a ghost, constantly changing his position and direction flexibly.

Li Xingchen followed closely behind, imitating the same method while trying his best to maintain speed to ensure that he would not be left behind.

When they finally arrived at their destination, Li Xingchen's chest was heaving violently and he was obviously out of breath.

This time his brother's speed was indeed too fast, which made him feel a little tired.

After taking a short breath, Li Xingchen carefully searched on both sides along the river bank. After a while, he really found a cave of the Earth Spirit Turtle.

There are also many tomatoes and watermelons growing by the cave, each one is big and round. There is a half-bitten watermelon with the red flesh exposed outside. It looks juicy and ripe.

However, when he thought about the fact that these watermelons grew so well because the Earth Spirit Tortoise carefully watered them with its feces day after day, Li Xingchen instantly lost interest in these fruits.

The Earth Spirit Tortoise usually likes to come out to look for food in the early morning and evening. Li Xingchen looked up at the sky and saw that wisps of red clouds had just appeared on the horizon.

The time was controlled very well. The two found a suitable place on the side to hide their bodies, held their breath, and waited quietly for the turtle to come out.

Judging from the size of the cave, this ground turtle is obviously an adult. Li Xingchen naturally did not dare to scare the turtle like Zero scared the rabbit last time. If he scared it so much that it slipped away in the cave, he would have to find another one, which would be a waste of time and energy.

Fortunately, the two didn't have to wait too long. A huge turtle half the height of Li Xingchen slowly crawled out of the cave.

The Earth Spirit Turtle is khaki in color all over, and the shell on its back has bumps like a solid armor, which makes it look extremely strong. Its head is not particularly big. Although it is walking slowly now, once it is beaten, its head will shrink very quickly, and even Li Xingchen's speed cannot catch up with it.

The turtle's limbs are thick and powerful, and are covered from top to bottom with huge keratin scales that look like stones and spikes. They are stacked one on top of another, extremely hard, and invulnerable to swords and guns.

Li Xingchen waited for the Earth Spirit Turtle to walk into the melon field. Without saying a word, he shot out the dagger in his hand, aiming directly at the Earth Spirit Turtle's eyes.

He had tried other places before, and ordinary daggers could not cause any damage to it.

The turtle was able to retract its head incredibly quickly, and while doing so, it used its two front paws to tightly protect its head.

It was in the same state before, and no matter how Li Xingchen attacked and output, he couldn't do anything about it. In the end, he had no choice but to pick up the turtle and run away.

However, this time Li Xingchen also wanted to test the lethality of his spiritual energy. After several days of training, Li Xingchen was already able to condense his energy into a blade.

Without making any unnecessary movements, Li Xingchen condensed his Qi directly, and a white, somewhat transparent Qi blade instantly condensed in the palm of his hand. At this moment, it did not look like it was condensed from spiritual energy, but more like an extremely thin glass blade, flashing white light.

Li Xingchen flicked his hand, and the air blade shot straight towards the back of the Earth Spirit Turtle.

It only left a very light scratch and did not cause any substantial damage.

Li Xingchen: ...

Turtle was also very calm and didn't even use any skills.

Li Xingchen's palm energy blade condensed again, and three pieces were shot at the forelimbs of the Earth Spirit Turtle. This time, beyond Li Xingchen's expectation, all three keratin scales were cut off.

Li Xingchen's eyes suddenly lit up. It worked! !

Although it did not cause any substantial damage to the Earth Spirit Turtle, it was obviously panicked and stretched out its claws to perform earth escape.

Li Xingchen was not willing to give it any chance, and shot air blades at it one after another as if they were free.

Turtle immediately cast an earth shield technique, and the air blade hit the earth shield, canceling the two out.

Although the air blades behind were also following closely, due to the obstruction just now, the Earth Spirit Turtle had already used the earth escape technique to drill into the ground at an extremely fast speed.
