I Have a Golden Crow

”Report!”

Accompanied by a rush of galloping hooves, seven cavalrymen stormed into the Blue Zone 2 base camp.

Liu Juncai stood under the blue flag, searching for the voice and watching the Reconnaissance Squad ride up to her.

She appeared calm on the surface, but her heart was in her throat.

Liu Juncai knew, based on the timing, that the news brought by the Reconnaissance Squad was likely from Zone 5’s battle report.

The leading young man dismounted and said, ”Sister Cai!”

Liu Juncai silently stared at the young man without any indication.

”I...” The young man opened his mouth, thought about the news he was about to report, and glanced at the expressionless leader in front of him.

For a moment, the young man couldn’t speak.

Liu Juncai obviously realized something, and her expressionless face gradually darkened: ”Speak!”

”Uh, well... Sister Cai.” The young man stammered, ”There’s one good news and one bad news. Which one would you like to hear first?”

Liu Juncai: ???

After a full 3 seconds, Liu Juncai said in a deep voice, ”Do you think you’re very humorous?”

”No, no.” The young man shook his head repeatedly. In the face of Liu Juncai like this, he indeed felt a lot of pressure and didn’t know why he blurted out such words.

He hurriedly said, ”Lin Shiwei is out!”

”Oh?” Liu Juncai was taken aback. She had prepared herself for the worst but didn’t expect to hear good news?

”Not only Lin Shiwei, her entire squad, those Lin Family members are all out!”

Liu Juncai nodded lightly: ”What about the bad news?”

”Liu Junxing is also out, along with Brother Xing’s entire hunting squad.”

Liu Juncai’s mood was up and down, almost in disbelief: ”Twenty members of the hunting team, plus Liu Junxing, all wiped out?”

The young man nodded.

For a moment, Liu Juncai’s expression looked very unpleasant.

Just when she thought things couldn’t get worse, the young man gave Liu Juncai another jolt!

He cautiously said, ”The main force led by brothers Liu Junzhen and Liu Junrong is also about to be wiped out.”

Liu Juncai’s heart trembled: ”What did you say?”

The young man hastily pieced together and reported everything he knew and had seen, along with the information obtained outside the battlefield, to Liu Juncai.

Until all the intelligence was reported, the young man, looking troubled, added, ”Sister Cai, Du Yu and his Dust Spirit Deer are simply too fast. We dare not approach the battlefield for fear of being left there, so...”

”Du Yu.” Liu Juncai murmured, holding her forehead with one hand, ”Du Yu, Du Yu.”

Indeed, the person you have on your mind is not only your friend but also your enemy.

The young man said softly, ”Now, it seems that Du Yu’s Demon Pets far exceed the battlefield level.

Almost no one on our side can stand against him, and the loss he’s caused us is tremendous...”

Before the young man finished speaking, Liu Juncai waved her hand.

The members of the Reconnaissance Squad glanced at each other and finally didn’t say anything more and retreated.

The war had been going on until now, and everyone was deeply immersed in it.

If it were outside the examination hall, even if you were a descendant of a big family, in modern society, everyone is equal.

However, in this enclosed Demon Spirit Realm, the students are not only isolated from the world, but each person’s mind also becomes immersed in unique scenarios and atmospheres.

As the battle grew more intense, the entire camp under Liu Juncai’s command was organized clearly and operating efficiently, assembling various necessary troops and recapturing Zone 6...

Under a series of command operations, even the students meeting Liu Juncai for the first time were impressed by her leadership and charisma.

When the exam first began, Lin Shiwei’s judgment was correct.

Compared to the Red Team, the Blue Team could unite faster.

Not only because of the Liu Family’s influence in the provincial city of Bohai, but also because the descendants cultivated by the Liu Family do indeed have high comprehensive qualities.

It should be known that the Blue Team had a disadvantaged start. If it were the Red Team’s Du Yu appearing when the battle between the two kings first began, then Lin Shihao would not securely sit in the chief commander’s position!

Everything the Blue Team possessed now was achieved by the Liu Family turning the situation around under adverse conditions.

”Everyone, gather over here,” Liu Juncai suddenly turned and said.

The students defending the base camp looked puzzled and stepped forward one by one.

Liu Juncai spoke softly, ”Our side has already suffered over half casualties, losing nearly 400 people.”

”What?”

”Four hundred, really that many?”

Liu Juncai pressed her hand down, signaling everyone to calm down: ”Your information is relatively isolated, limited to our Zone 2.

The casualties in Zones 4 and 6 are severe, especially the chaotic Zone 4.”

Liu Juncai paused, didn’t continue on this topic, and instead shifted the subject: ”Red Team’s Du Yu, no doubt a special figure.

The fact proves that he has enough capability to shake the foundation of our survival.”

Discussions arose in the camp: ”Are we going to select people to hunt Du Yu again?”

”What about Liu Junxing? Why hasn’t his team come back?”

”How is Zone 5? Have we secured it?”

”Given our losses, should we consider changing our strategy?”

Building upon Liu Juncai’s previous topic, the Blue Team students became increasingly dissatisfied, and their voices grew louder.

”Silence!” Liu Juncai’s shout barely managed to control the scene.

However, under such a battle record, she guessed she wouldn’t be able to stabilize it for long.

Liu Juncai said in a deep voice, ”As for Du Yu, I will handle him personally.”

With this sentence, the camp in Zone 2 became even more silent.

Liu Juncai scanned the crowd and spoke lightly: ”Thank you all for your trust in me, and I’m sorry I haven’t brought an advantage to the Blue Team.

Although we currently have the same number of sectors as the Red Team, we are still falling behind in points.

And if Du Yu continues to act recklessly, we will have no chance of turning the tables.”

Liu Juncai pressed her lips: ”We thought Du Yu would shrink back in the base camp, protected layer by layer.

But he suddenly appeared again. Actual combat proved that he possesses a Demon Pet far surpassing the battlefield level. Every second he stays on the map poses a tremendous threat to us.

I can only go.”

The girl took out a hairband from her pocket, supported it between her fingers, and slowly gathered her long hair at the back of her head: ”Once I go, I won’t be coming back.

What I mean is, whether or not I can take Du Yu with me, I won’t be coming back.”

”Huh?”

”What does that mean?”

Liu Juncai ignored the crowd: ”Besides the main target Du Yu, I will also take away as many Red Team members as possible.

I will try to level our numerical disadvantage, and this is also the last thing I can do for the Blue Team.

After I leave, all of you must unite and protect our flag.”

As she finished speaking, Liu Juncai turned her head to the Reconnaissance Squad: ”You guys, who will lend me their mount, to go with me to our death?”

”Sister Cai!”

”Liu... Commander Liu, reconsider?”

”You’re going to die alone? How will that help?”

Liu Juncai: ”From the beginning to the end, you haven’t seen me summon a Demon Pet.”

Everyone looked at Liu Juncai, unsure what the girl meant to say.

Liu Juncai smiled: ”I registered a Spirit-level Demon Pet, a very difficult one to deal with.”

In an instant, the camp fell into a dead silence!

Spirit-level!?

A Demon Tamer who could bring out a Spirit-level Divine Pet?

This final exam only allows the use of one’s Demon Pets.

In other words, this Spirit-level Demon Pet could not possibly have been borrowed from family elders, only a newly contracted wild Spirit-level Demon Pet!

Mind you, even the Demon Pets you’ve nurtured since childhood prefer to stay in the Acupoint Home after reaching the Spirit-level, and generally, the owner can’t persuade them to come out.

And a wild Demon Pet that joins midway...

How could you call it out?

Provoke it?

Moreover, Liu Juncai has already stated, this Demon Pet is difficult to handle.

Once such a Divine Beast appears, the result is foreseeable!

The Blue Team students foolishly looked at their leader, finally understanding what she intended to do.

Interestingly, Liu Juncai, whose face had been serious all along, actually showed a smile at this moment.

It was a kind of genuine relaxation, as if shedding a ton of burden.

Liu Juncai finished tying her hair into a ponytail and saw a young girl in blue ride forward.

Liu Juncai, without hesitation, mounted the horse: ”You can get down now and continue your exam.”

Unexpectedly, the girl said directly: ”I’ll go with you.”

Liu Juncai didn’t persuade further, just waved her hand.

As the mount moved forward, the Reconnaissance Squad followed immediately.

The Blue Team members wore complex expressions, watching the cavalry squad leave the base camp.

After not running for long, Liu Juncai looked at the Reconnaissance Squad: ”You guys go to Zone 6 and find the Liu Family, have them take over Zone 2.”

”Yes.”

”Understood!” Hearing such an order, the Reconnaissance Squad members had mixed feelings but chose to obey the leader’s last command.

Liu Juncai patted the girl’s shoulder: ”Let’s go! Zone 5, maximum speed!”

”Right!”

At the same time, in Zone 5 of the Demon Spirit Realm.

Near the flag area, devastation was everywhere!

The battle had ended, yet people came and went on the battlefield, and Demon Spirit Soldiers were patrolling back and forth, carrying away one injured person after another.

Among them were not only Blue Team students but also a considerable number of Red Team students.

And the remaining Red Team students mostly sat or lay crookedly, panting heavily.

”We won, we won!”

”Yeah, we won...” Scattered voices arose across the battlefield but did not elicit cheers.

Though victorious, it was a Pyrrhic victory.

The Red Team completely swallowed the main force of the Blue Team, but their casualties were also heavy.

The various teams that arrived for support mostly perished here.

The truly surviving Red Team members barely numbered over thirty...

Li Mengnan sat on the Dust Spirit Deer, silently watching her surroundings. Replacing it on a normal day, achieving a great victory, she would naturally cheer loudly.

At this moment, she didn’t have such a mood.

All around were continuous wails and bursts of crying, sounding heartbreaking.

Is this really just a final exam?

Why does it have to be so real?

Everyone’s inner turmoil, the blood they shed, the injuries they suffered, are all incredibly real...

If not for the timely rescue by the Demon Spirit Squad, this place might have turned into a graveyard!

Why?

We are only freshmen, just half a year ago, we were ordinary kids who hadn’t awakened, diligently studying in high school, yearning for a wonderful university life.

What exactly does this world want us, Paper Crane Disciples, to do?
