Godslayer: The Progenitor of Symbiotes

Qin Xue didn't really care whether Bai Lingmo would argue with her.

The important point is that their conversation just now seemed to involve "fighting"?

This is the Night's Watch recruit training base, so why are they fighting?

Thinking of this, Qin Xue couldn't help but ask, "Um, what were you guys talking about just now? Our training includes fighting?"

Bai Lingmo seemed to have suddenly realized something, and let out a long "Oh".

"Here's the thing, our training base is divided into two parts. You see that wall over there, right?"

As Bai Lingmo spoke, she pointed to the wall in the distance that divided the entire training camp into two parts.

Qin Xue looked at the wall, but didn't see anything there. "Is there something over there?"

Qin Xue's first thought was mystery, because it seemed that there was nothing else that could be used as a training tool for new recruits.

"Inside there..." Bai Lingmo paused, her expression turning serious, before continuing, "...there's a pervert!"

"Huh?" Qin Xue was stunned. "Pervert?"

"Yeah! A bunch of freaks. Every week, they run out of that big iron gate and... beat us new recruits up badly!"

As Bai Lingmo spoke, she gritted her teeth and glared fiercely at the large iron gate in the center of the wall, as if the creature inside was a heinous, ruthless monster.

Qin Xue's expression changed slightly. What Bai Lingmo said was really too scary. In the training camp, every week a group of "perverts" would come out and beat up the new recruits.

This didn't sound real at all, but Bai Lingmo's expression made Qin Xue have no choice but to believe it.

"Hehe!" Seeing that Qin Xue was a little scared, Bai Lingmo suddenly returned to her normal expression and comforted Qin Xue, "Qin Xue, don't be afraid. Although they will hit us, they won't kill us. You can rest assured."

"...What exactly are they?" Qin Xue was even more curious now.

"Hmm..." Bai Lingmo thought for a moment, then lowered her voice and said, "Come closer, I'll tell you quietly."

“…Okay.” Qin Xue nodded and leaned closer to Bai Lingmo.

A few minutes later.

Bai Lingmo clung tightly to Qin Xue's arm, pleading, "Oh, Qin Xue, don't be angry, I was just joking."

Qin Xue remained calm; she truly didn't want to deal with Bai Lingmo anymore.

I thought there was a group of mysterious people behind the wall, but it turns out that the next door is also a Night's Watch training base. It's just that the training methods on the two sides are different.

Judging from Bai Lingmo's words, it seemed that the people on the other side had very complicated backgrounds, including special forces soldiers, disciples of various ancient martial arts families, and even Taoist priests.

The recruits on both sides hold a competition every Monday to hone their various abilities.

However, the group of new recruits next door has been training for half a year and is stronger than the new recruits here.

When Qin Xue heard this, she finally understood why Bai Lingmo had said that the new recruits here would be beaten.

"Qin Xue, you can't do this! The competition is this afternoon, we need to stick together and support each other!"

Bai Lingmo hugged Qin Xue like a child. Qin Xue had no choice but to say, "Okay, I'm not angry."

Upon hearing Qin Xue's words, Bai Lingmo immediately cuddled and rubbed against Qin Xue like a kitten. "Hehe, I knew Qin Xue was the best. Stay with me tonight, and I'll help you hide until the competition is over."

Qin Xue gently pushed Bai Lingmo away and said seriously, "We've only known each other for less than an hour."

"So what? I just think you're the best," Bai Lingmo replied matter-of-factly.

Qin Xue took a deep breath and told herself countless times that this was just her personality and she shouldn't take it to heart before calmly saying, "...You should hurry up and practice your swordsmanship."

After watching Bai Lingmo practice her knife skills all morning, Qin Xue was immediately pulled by Bai Lingmo to the restaurant after the training ended.

At the dining table, Bai Lingmo ate steamed buns in big bites, occasionally saying, "Ugh, I've been practicing all morning, I'm starving."

Qin Xue looked at the two meat dishes and two vegetable dishes on her plate, somewhat puzzled, "I heard that the training camp also serves raw beef, doesn't it?"

That's right, Chen Shu told Qin Xue about eating raw beef when they were in Shacheng out of boredom.

“Yes.” Bai Lingmo nodded, looking at Qin Xue with envy. “That was just the food on the first day of training. According to the military, it should be called ‘bitterness meal’.”

"But you're really lucky. You only arrived today, so you won't get to experience that feeling. But how did you find out about this?"

After Bai Lingmo asked the question, Qin Xue's expression visibly fell.

The person who told her this clearly said they would definitely come back...

Bai Lingmo noticed Qin Xue's expression and asked in confusion, "What's wrong? You seem a little unhappy."

Qin Xue shook her head, forcing a smile, "...No, I just thought of the person who told me about this."

"Oh." Bai Lingmo nodded, then asked curiously, "Then... that person must also be a Night Watchman, right?"

"I guess so..." Qin Xue herself was a little unsure whether Chen Shu counted as a Night Watchman.

"I guess so... It's so strange," Bai Lingmo muttered to herself, puzzled.

"Alright, alright, let's eat quickly. Isn't there a competition later?" Qin Xue urged, trying to stop Bai Lingmo from asking any more questions.

After the meal, the group of new recruits rushed to the armory.

The competition starts at 2:00 PM and ends at 12:00 PM. During the ten hours in between, the recruits can use any melee weapon to compete, provided they do not harm other recruits.

If one side loses all its combat capabilities before midnight, it is considered to have lost, and the other side wins.

If both sides have remaining players, the side with more players wins.

After one side wins, the winning side chooses whether to attack or defend in the next match.

"Why does the opponent always choose to attack?" Qin Xue didn't quite understand. Wouldn't it be easier to win by defending?

"Hmph, they're just too confident. They think they can win every time, and that's how they make themselves seem stronger," Bai Lingmo said indignantly.

Qin Xue nodded, looking at the new recruits scattered throughout the training camp, and felt a surge of nervousness. "There's still a little over an hour left, should we get ready?"

Bai Lingmo thought for a moment, then pointed to the armory in the distance and said, "Let's go get the weapons first. I don't want to fight someone empty-handed if I get discovered."

Qin Xue nodded in agreement. Although she had no experience using weapons, that did not prevent her from carrying one for self-defense.

With that, the two immediately set off for the armory.
