Lantern Sister is still very capable.

Chapter 51 Undercurrent



Chapter 51 Undercurrent

In the evening, the playground was filled with students in training uniforms, chatting in twos and threes about topics such as studies, love, and games.

Qin Chuanfeng stood on the high platform of the playground, looking down at the group of carefree students below, and sighed inexplicably, which puzzled Huo Xuan, who was drinking water.

"It's been so many days, why haven't any seedlings sprouted yet?"

Huo Xuan almost choked when he heard this. This is nothing! If it were really that easy to find people with superpowers, wouldn't the whole world be turned upside down?

"Things aren't going well with Major General He either. The black market's in chaos again, and they're competing with us for missions. Everything's going wrong," Qin Chuanfeng muttered. Then, remembering something, he sent a message to Wang Shun: "We can arrange to supply the canteen with the vegetables from the botanical garden for a week. Next week, the hospital will send someone over to install the new testing equipment. There'll be a drill before the training camp, so we can test the potential stars' condition first."

Wang Shun first calculated the consumption and, after confirming that there were no problems in ensuring the special supplies for the senior high school students in their intensive training, replied with "Okay".

"It's quite hot and humid today, and we've been training for a week now. I suspect some of you might not be able to keep going. Keep an eye on the students' emotions; we can't let these future stars fall here." Qin Chuanfeng sent a group message to all the instructors and then gave Huo Xuan a special instruction, since he was in charge of the top class.

"Row."

"By the way, I've observed that Chu Deng doesn't seem to be under much pressure. You should focus on increasing the intensity for her and try to stimulate her as soon as possible." Qin Chuanfeng seemed to see Chu Deng strolling on the playground, the girl calmly leading her friend in warm-up exercises.

This girl must be a potential superhuman. Judging from her physical abilities that others envy and resent, Qin Chuanfeng could hear many students discussing her.

Huo Xuan also noticed Chu Deng and nodded. He was still thinking about another student, Pei Hanxing.

For some reason, he felt that Pei Hanxing looked familiar, as if he had seen that child somewhere before.

"Captain Qin, what do you think of Pei Hanxing?"

Qin Chuanfeng paused noticeably for a moment, "That male student standing southeast of Chu Deng?"

“Yes, it’s him,” Huo Xuan said directly. “He looks familiar, and I have a feeling he has some kind of superpower.”

"He's a bit special..." Qin Chuanfeng's expression was somewhat ambiguous. "Keep a close eye on him. His parents should contact you after the first training camp when they have some free time."

Upon hearing this, Huo Xuan glanced thoughtfully at Pei Hanxing.

Just as Qin Chuanfeng had predicted, around 8 p.m., someone collapsed; it was a student named Zhang Mengmeng.

The girl's face was flushed, she was having difficulty breathing, she couldn't open her eyes, and she was biting her lower lip tightly with her upper teeth. It was clear that she was a stubborn person.

Huo Xuan first isolated the students, gave them emergency first aid, and then called the doctor who had been standing on the high platform of the playground. The medical staff, who had only been dealing with sprains and falls, arrived with a stretcher. A white coat and a medical kit made it feel like a race against time.

The medical staff worked together skillfully, and in just two minutes they took Zhang Mengmeng away. The whole process was so fast that it left the students speechless.

Huo Xuan smiled reassuringly, "Don't worry, everyone. We have deployed twenty medical teams, one for each shift. The school hospital has been requisitioned, and we have also transferred professional doctors to serve here."

His intention was to reassure the students not to be afraid of training injuries, as the professional medical team would ensure they would be free from illness and injury throughout the training. As far as he knew, even a rare light-elemental ability user had been snatched away by their Director Wu.

However, Huo Xuan didn't understand the minds of these top students. As soon as he said this, they all guessed that the higher-ups had anticipated this situation in advance and that it was good that they had arranged a professional medical team, which showed that they attached great importance to it. But it also meant that there might be subsequent injuries, and that they might be quite serious.

Some students who didn't lack extra points secretly complained and decided to withdraw from the training camp after the first phase of the training exam, regardless of the subsequent results.

Huo Xuan keenly sensed that the heavy atmosphere had not eased but had become even more so. In order to help the students get rid of their collective emotions, he said, "Okay, we still have two hours left today. Let's train for another hour, and I'll lead you in a game to relax."

"Great!!!" The students' eyes lit up and they cheered in unison.

Whether they like playing games or not, they just want to rest. Some people had backaches, leg cramps and sore waists by the end of the first day, but the students in the top class had a kind of spirit inside them. They would rather be exhausted than complain, which refreshed Huo Xuan's understanding of good students.

The training session continued relentlessly. The students sweated profusely, and despite their exhaustion, they did their best to complete the training. Huo Xuan arranged for someone to keep an eye on things, then turned around and went to find someone to prepare the game props.

"Old Luo, give me four 30-meter wires. I'll play a game with the kids." Huo Xuan, who had walked up to the high platform on the playground, saw Luo Genjin, a metal-type ability user, sitting on the rest seat and using his personal terminal, and said casually.

Luo Genjin, who was eating sunflower seeds, glanced at him, then continued to use his personal terminal without saying a word. In front of him, black metal was being kneaded and stretched by an invisible force, gradually transforming into the four iron wires that Huo Xuan wanted.

“A thicker one, these kids probably haven’t played with a powered rope hoop before,” Huo Xuan said.

Luo Genjin remained silent and shaped the appropriate coil according to his requirements. Only when he was about to leave did he speak: "50 points, no bargaining."

Huo Xuan choked, cursing the greedy man who never missed an opportunity to earn points. With a dark face, he swiped the card for Luo Genjin and turned to leave.

The person left with the things. The person who had been sleeping with their face covered in the seat behind Luo Genjin woke up, yawned, and said, "Don't always bully people. I remember this person showing up in front of He Feiquan."

"Heh." Luo Genjin responded with a soft sound and continued to use his personal terminal.

Qi Miao tidied his loose hair, put his long legs on the chair in front of him, and was still lazy after just waking up. "I heard that Qin Chuanfeng, the captain of this training camp, also trained Huo Xuan in his early years. That kid is really lucky. He has people protecting him wherever he goes. Even if he can't get on He Feiquan's good side, once Yang Guizhou is promoted to level four, he can basically walk sideways."

These words, seemingly expressing admiration for someone who has powerful connections, are actually a dig at Luo Genjin.

Luo Genjin cracked sunflower seeds, seemingly oblivious to Qi Miaoke's hint, and continued browsing the forum for superhumans on his personal computer.

Qi Miao couldn't help but roll her eyes, but after thinking about it, she held back, not wanting to scare the person away.

On the surface, she was invited by Wu Qingyun to be the head of the medical team, but secretly she had other tasks and was going to stay in Haishi for a while. She refused to believe that she couldn't cure Luo Genjin.

She absolutely must win this national team competition for people with superpowers!

Qi Miao was determined to win over the unassuming Luo Gengjin. She was determined to bring Luo back to the Southern Province base, and the championship could only belong to their Southern Province.
