Saint Seiya: This Gemini is a bit of a trap.

Standing on Mithril Demon Island, it felt like a secluded world, filled with towering ancient trees and vast forests. Surrounded by a hazy mist, the students found it difficult to even discern directions, let alone find traces of enemies.

They couldn't help but look at Jia Long.

"Don't ask me. You're the ones carrying out the mission today. I'm just here to cheer you on."

Jia Long flatly refused the students' inquiries.

Unlike the fully armed twin echelon cadets, Jia Long was dressed in a refreshing casual outfit today, and was holding a round fan he bought from the Yama Kingdom. He looked more like a tourist than a fighter.

"Remember, this is a live-fire exercise. Your mission is to defeat the Ghost Saints and find the Silver Star Sand mine that the Sanctuary desperately needs. You will decide all actions in this exercise yourself."

"In short, the sacred mission of upholding justice and protecting the land is entrusted to you. Go for it, young people!"

With a wave of his fan, Jia Long adopted an air of detachment.

Although this Mithril Demon Island seems to hide great danger, Jia Long has no intention of changing his previous plan. The main force of this mission is the students of the Twin Elite Team, and he will not easily take action unless there is a particularly dangerous situation.

They won't even offer much guidance.

After all, Saint Seiya warriors are forged in battle, and such opportunities for real combat training are rare.

"Uh~"

Seeing their teacher's detached attitude, the students had no choice but to abandon their rescue efforts. They gathered together and discussed the situation, deciding to change their approach and head straight for the center of the island through the forest, hoping to find the ghostly warriors lurking on the island.

I have to say, this idea is pretty reckless.

But it's very much like Saint Seiya.

"Walk."

Saint Seiya are always action-oriented. After making up their minds, the students, led by the five little silver ones, entered the island's primeval forest.

The forest was also shrouded in gray fog, making it difficult to discern directions, so the trainees had to abandon flying and instead walk.

However, even when walking, as warriors of the six senses, they are still quite fast.

Moreover, one of the trainees is skilled in desert island survival and can always find the right route in the dense forest, which further improves the trainees' progress efficiency.

In short, even without Jia Long's guidance, the trainees still did very well. In addition, they did not encounter any dangers along the way, so some people inevitably became complacent.

"What Mithril Demon Island? It's nothing special."

"Yeah, does this place even deserve to be called Demon Island? Apart from the abnormally hot weather, it's just like my backyard. Wait, there's a palm tree here?!"

As they spoke, the student leading the way spotted a grove of robust palm trees, and his eyes immediately lit up:

"Based on my experience surviving on a desert island, the heartwood of this palm tree is full of moisture and is a rare thirst quencher. We've all been traveling for so long, so please have a taste..."

The student approached a sturdy palm tree, swiftly plucked out a tender pith with his claws, and then took a bite.

Don't eat random things!

Seeing this, Jia Long couldn't help but remind him, but the student, relying on his experience, didn't take it seriously at all. He swallowed the tree core in a few bites and then screamed and fell to the ground.

Not long after, an unknown insect scurried out of his nostril and disappeared into the grass.

Upon seeing this, the trainees all turned pale, and in an instant, they no longer had any contempt for the seemingly harmless island in front of them.

They never dreamed that their first mission on Demon Island would result in casualties not from the enemy, but from an inconspicuous palm tree.

"Uncle Galon, he's not in mortal danger, but he's been poisoned and won't be able to fight anymore."

Sharna, who was in charge of medical care, checked on the fallen student and reported back to Jia Long.

"Ah."

After confirming that the trainees were safe, Jia Long nodded, then glanced at the trainees and said calmly, "See? This is the purpose of our practical combat training for you."

"Remember, never make the mistake of relying on past experience when carrying out missions in the future. This is the first lesson I want to teach you in this real-world scenario!"

Chapter 307 Bonds! The Successor of the Twin Combination Technique (Part 1)

At the cost of non-combat casualties, Jia Long gave the trainees a vivid lesson that was more effective than emphasizing it ten or a hundred times in the training camp.

Seeing their companion still convulsing and foaming at the mouth after being treated by Sharna, the trainees perked up and cautiously continued their journey toward the center of the island.

Gradually, the group walked deeper into the forest.

The trees in front of me grew thicker and thicker, their dense foliage blocking out the sun, making the light in the forest dimmer and the air hotter and more oppressive, creating a strong sense of pressure on my nerves.

"There are enemies!"

Suddenly, Seth, who was leading the way, issued a warning, and then the students sensed three powerful cosmos appearing ahead.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa~"

Through the thick gray fog, three eerie figures flew by, their speed causing the surrounding leaves to rustle.

He appeared before the students in an instant.

These are three warriors emanating a faint aura of death, each wearing strangely shaped, form-fitting battle suits. The luster on their suits is similar to that of Hades armor, but their shapes are completely different, resembling scale armor more closely. One is a sea serpent, another a dolphin, and the third is similar to a jellyfish.

"The Ghost Saint Seiya: Three Crows?!"

Before arriving at Demon Island, the students already knew about the fighters who attacked the Saint Domain Bronze Squad. Seeing the three of them dressed like this, they recognized them at a glance and immediately revealed their hatred.

However, the three ghostly Saints did not take them seriously.

His gaze swept over the students, revealing a look of disdain.

"Lady Esther said that people from the Sanctuary had landed on the island. I thought they would be at least Silver Saints, but they were just a bunch of brats wearing Dark Cloths!"

"Kill him. This brat isn't even worthy of Lord Scumbag and his men's attention."

"it is good!"

As they spoke, the three ghostly Saints charged forward together. The three strongest of the five Silver Saints, Seth, Shiva, and Agora, also unleashed their fighting skills to meet them.

"Diamond Star Fist!"

"Thousand Hands Divine Sound Fist!"

"Lotus Burst Fist!"

The three little silver warriors were formidable in their fighting skills, but their opponents had no intention of engaging them in a one-on-one duel. Jellyfish, one of the three crows, leaped forward and pounced on Seth, who was unleashing a flurry of ice crystals.

"Kid, your ice fighting skills are pretty good, but don't you know that ice conducts electricity?"

"?!"

"Jellyfish Stream, Million Volts!"

The jellyfish raised its hands, its entire body radiating brilliant electric light, as if forming a peculiar electric field. In an instant, the ice crystals flying everywhere, under the influence of the electric field, began to emit blue arcs of electricity, and then turned around and flew towards Seth and the students behind him.

"how so?!"

The electrified ice crystals turned and attacked, forcing Seth and the other students to scramble and dodge in a panic, leaving them unable to stop the other two ghostly Saints.

At that moment, the dolphin among the three crows rushed towards Shiva and Agora, its figure flashing like a phantom, causing Shiva and Agora's fighting techniques to miss their mark.

"You brats, your senses are too dull in front of me, Dolphin! I'm right here! Take this, Dolphin Stream Aerial Spinning Kick!"

When the dolphin reappeared, it was already behind Shiva and Agora. Its body split in two, and it kicked the two of them in the back with a powerful sonic boom. Despite being outnumbered, it showed an overwhelming advantage, leaving Agora and Shiva unable to pay attention to anything else.

"Heh heh, the Holy Domain is truly getting worse with each generation!"

Seeing that only Jalong and two little girls remained on the Sanctuary side in an instant, and that the Ghost Saints had not yet made a move, the Sea Serpent among the Three Crows couldn't help but let out a sinister laugh.

"Blue-haired kid, you must be the leader of these brats!"

The sea serpent's gaze swept past Marin and Sharna, fixing fiercely on Jalon:

"Although you are not wearing a Saint Cloth, the repulsive smell emanating from you cannot escape my notice, Sea Serpent. As the leader of the Dark Saints, you must be a Bronze Saint of this generation! So, let me, a senior from a hundred years ago, show you the true power of a Bronze Saint!"

"The power of the Bronze Saints from a hundred years ago? I have no interest in witnessing it, but I think they might be very interested."

"they?"

Just as the sea serpent was slightly surprised, accompanied by two sharp shouts, Marin and Sharna leaped up and attacked him from the left and right.

"Lightning Kick!"

Marin's petite figure soared through the air like an eagle, her long, powerful legs instantly unleashing hundreds of meteors—a simplified version of the Lightning Speed ​​Fist that Jia Long had taught her.

"Sky Tyrant!"

On the other side, although Sharna did not have Marin's speed and strength, her telekinesis was powerful. She mobilized the surrounding elemental forces, transforming them into elemental snakes that shot out.

"Hmph, first-rate fighting skills, third-rate strength, too inexperienced!"

Facing Marin and Shaina's attacks, the serpent didn't dodge at all. Instead, it straightened its chest and met their sharp fighting techniques head-on with its body.

In an instant, Marin's hundreds of leg shadows and Shaina's elemental attack arrived simultaneously.

Surprisingly, just as the two women's attacks were about to hit, the serpent's armor secreted a peculiar mucus, making his body incredibly slippery. In the blink of an eye, both Marin's powerful leg strike and Shaina's elemental attack slid past him without harming him in the slightest.

"This level of attack is useless against me, take this!"

Sea serpents have very strange defensive capabilities.

But what's even stranger is his attack ability.

As the two women's fighting techniques failed, the Sea Serpent seized the opportunity and swung his fist. His entire arm stretched and lengthened in a bizarre way, then twisted and turned like a giant snake, as if it had instantly gathered a powerful rotational force.

"Sea Serpent Style Death Whirlwind Fist!"

A sudden surge of wind pressure caused the sea serpent's fist to spin like a turbine, creating a powerful gust that swept over the two women, instantly lifting them up and sending them flying backward in a disheveled state.

"Bang~"

The two women fell heavily to the ground. When they stood up again, they were dizzy and disoriented. Moreover, cracks appeared on their dark armor. If it weren't for the protection of this fully covered armor, they would have been seriously injured.

"Come again!"

Seeing their beloved Saint Cloths damaged, Marin and Shaina gritted their teeth and leaped up again, attacking the sea serpent with a contemptuous sneer.

However, just like before, the two women's attacks were still useless. The mucus secreted by the opponent was like a thick protective film, and the two women were unable to break through this protective film and touch the opponent's body with their strength.

"Sea Serpent Style Death Whirlwind Fist!"

After another swirling gust of wind, the two women were swept away like paper dolls. After the two punches from the sea serpent, their dark armor was already riddled with holes, and it was estimated that they would have difficulty taking another punch from the opponent.

"Come... again..."

Just when the two women were completely helpless against the sea serpent and could only struggle to get up, preparing to continue their blind attack like cockroaches.
