Godslayer: The Progenitor of Symbiotes

Han Li glanced at the weapon rack filled with various cold weapons, hesitated for a moment, and tried to speak, "How about we change to another one? There are no bows and arrows here yet."

"But... I only know how to use a bow and arrow," Qin Xue said somewhat shyly.

Qin Xue was not lying. She had never used any weapons, and she only practiced archery with Qin Feng when she was bored.

Han Li looked embarrassed. Who would have thought that Qin Xue would choose a bow and arrow over any weapon?

It wasn't that he didn't know how to use a bow and arrow; it was just that in battles against the mysterious, melee weapons were generally used, and ranged weapons were all firearms. Bows and arrows were rarely used.

But he really couldn't say anything, since bows and arrows are also cold weapons.

Just as Han Li was wondering where to get a bow and arrow, one of the new recruits below suddenly shouted, "Report!"

Han Li looked at the young man who had raised his hand, his brows twitching slightly.

The young man who raised his hand is one of the most promising recruits this year. His name is Zhao Yuan, and he is twenty-two years old.

Coming from an ancient martial arts family, he practiced staff techniques from a young age, and the awakened forbidden realm seemed to be preordained.

【Mushan Gong】(Shan Gong: a term for a monkey), ranked in the highest-risk forbidden zone, belongs to the beast transformation type, but is different from ordinary beast transformation. When using the forbidden zone, it can communicate with the wood element in the surrounding environment, thereby achieving the ability to control the wood element.

Although this forbidden area doesn't sound very powerful, it complements his staff techniques perfectly.

"Zhao Yuan, what do you want?" Han Li asked calmly. Although Zhao Yuan's skill with the staff was extremely high, Han Li could not say he admired him. He was a bit overconfident, even arrogant.

Zhao Yuan pushed aside the people in front of him and walked to the front of the line. His gaze fell on Qin Xue. "Instructor Han, I can try teaching Qin Xue the stick technique first. If she doesn't like it, we can change it later."

The people who were pushed away by Zhao Yuan were clearly fluctuating in emotions, but none of them dared to stand up and speak.

Han Li rubbed her temples, her face displeased. She had just wondered if he was up to something again, and now he said something like that, which was really giving her a headache.

However, there are no bows and arrows provided in the training camp right now, and everyone else is practicing melee combat. Qin Xue wants to use ranged attacks, so he really has no choice!

After thinking it over, Han Li finally decided to follow Qin Xue's suggestion. "Qin Xue, do you have any interest in staff techniques? If so, you can give it a try. I need to request a batch of bows and arrows from the logistics department."

Upon hearing Han Li's words, Zhao Yuan leaped onto the martial arts stage, confidently extending his left hand to Qin Xue, his gaze fixed intently on her eyes. "Let's go. My staff skills are no less than Instructor Han's, so don't worry."

Qin Xue felt a little uncomfortable under Zhao Yun's gaze. Just as she was about to wave her hand to refuse, Zhao Yuan grabbed her right hand.

"Don't worry, no one here is better than me," Zhao Yuan said confidently.

"Let me go, I don't want to learn stick fighting." Qin Xue frowned slightly, trying to pull her hand out of Zhao Yuan's grasp, but found that he showed no sign of letting go.

Han Li's expression turned serious. "Zhao Yuan, let go of his hand. Do you even know him before you shake his hand?"

Zhao Yuan glanced at Han Li, reluctantly let go of her hand, and shrugged indifferently, "It's okay, we're all comrades-in-arms, now that we know each other, right?"

Seeing Zhao Yuan's smug expression, Han Li was furious. Damn it, even the top cheaters from the previous year weren't like him. He really didn't know where Zhao Yuan's confidence came from.

"Alright, go practice on your own if you have nothing else to do." Han Li casually dismissed Zhao Yuan, then looked at Qin Xue, "Here's what you do, you can watch their training here for a while, and let me know if you suddenly find a weapon you like."

Qin Xue nodded, "Okay, Instructor Han."

"Miss, miss..."

After Han Li left, a girl in the audience quietly walked to the edge of the stage with a straight knife and whispered to Qin Xue twice.

Qin Xue looked at the girl with a puzzled expression, only to find the girl smiling at her.

"Hello..." Qin Xue looked at the girl with a puzzled expression, wondering what she wanted to see her about.

When the girl saw Qin Xue respond, she smiled even more happily. "Um... my name is Bai Lingmo, can we be friends?"

Qin Xue was even more confused now. She was the one who needed to take the initiative to make friends, so why did this girl in front of her find her out of the blue?

However, even though I don't quite understand it, I still want to make this friend, since I've just arrived here and am not yet familiar with the situation.

“…Okay, my name is Qin Xue, the instructor just introduced me.” Qin Xue smiled and extended her hand.

"That's great!" Bai Lingmo reached out and grabbed Qin Xue's hand, shouting excitedly, "Then we're best friends now!"

Qin Xue nodded and gave a soft "Mmm".

Bai Lingmo thought for a moment, then picked up the straight knife and waved it somewhat comically. "I see you haven't chosen a weapon yet. Why don't you watch me practice with the knife for a while?"

Qin Xue agreed to the suggestion without hesitation, since she didn't have anything else to do and it would be awkward for her to stay there.

Bai Lingmo nodded happily and led Qin Xue to the back of the group.

After finding a suitable spot, Bai Lingmo chuckled twice at Qin Xue before beginning to practice the basic moves of the sword technique.

Beside her, a male recruit who was also practicing swordsmanship looked at Bai Lingmo with a mocking expression. "Oh, our little sister Bai has finally made a friend."

Another recruit, upon hearing this, replied with a similarly sarcastic tone, "Yeah, yeah, that wasn't easy. Our young master Zhao was almost tricked by you last time. Don't you dare lure our new recruit girl into the same trap tonight."

Bai Lingmo stopped swinging her knife and glared fiercely at the two new recruits. "Hmph, Zhao Yuan insisted on showing off last time, how can you blame me?"

Upon hearing this, the two new recruits immediately became displeased. "Wasn't it you who led so many people over there? Otherwise, how could our young master Zhao have lost to them?"

Bai Lingmo put her hands on her hips, her face full of indignation, and shouted, "Hmph! Young Master Zhao, Young Master Zhao, what else can you do besides being Young Master Zhao? Why couldn't you help him back then? If you had put in a little effort, how come he couldn't beat you?"

Qin Xue quietly looked at Bai Lingmo, whose face was full of stubbornness and whose little mouth was babbling. She seemed to understand why Bai Lingmo had taken the initiative to befriend her.

"You...you..." The two recruits were stunned for a long time, unable to find any words to refute her, and could only angrily move away from Bai Lingmo.

Bai Lingmo watched the two slink away, then clapped her hands arrogantly, "Hmph, trying to argue with me? Don't you know I'm the queen of arguments?"

Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, she turned to Qin Xue and smiled gently, "Qin Xue, don't misunderstand, I definitely won't argue with you."
