Chapter 11 Abyss-Level Trial!
the other side.

Led by Xu Feng, Gu Xing arrived at an elegantly decorated conference room.

After gesturing for Liuli to wait outside, Gu Xing pushed open the door and entered.

As soon as he entered, his gaze was immediately drawn to the dark blue figure sitting in the main seat.

City Lord Xia Xiu stood respectfully to the side.

This detail made Gu Xing instantly realize that the extraordinary middle-aged man in front of him was of a status far above that of the city lord.

Upon seeing Gu Xing enter the room, Xia Xiu immediately stood up to introduce her:

"Gu Xing, this is Wei Yuan, the chief commander of the Southern Military Region!"

Wei Yuan?!
Gu Xing's pupils contracted slightly.

This name is widely known in the Dragon Xia Kingdom.

A king-level beast tamer, the pillar of the Southern Theater Command, truly capable of turning the tide in times of national crisis.

"Greetings, City Lord. Greetings, Chief."

After regaining his senses, Gu Xingyi bowed.

Wei Yuan nodded slightly, his deep gaze sweeping over Gu Xing, and said gently:

"Gu Xing, congratulations on achieving an SSS-level potential rating in the novice trial."

"Thank you, Commander, but you must have called me here for something else."

Seeing Xia Xiu standing to the side like he was invisible, Gu Xing understood that the one who truly wanted to see her was Xia Xiu.
It must be Wei Yuan, the chief commander of the Southern Military Region!
He just didn't understand why a military region commander would take the initiative to meet with him.

Although he performed brilliantly in the novice trial.

But a genius who doesn't grow up isn't a genius.

Upon seeing Gu Xing's performance, a hint of appreciation flashed in Wei Yuan's eyes.

When he received the news of Gu Xing's SSS-level rating on the way, his first reaction was doubt.

After all, in the Dragon Xia Kingdom, there are very few geniuses who can reach this level.

In a remote border town like Lin Yuan City, it's almost impossible for an SSS-level genius to emerge.

He had assumed that this genius had achieved the SSS rating through some "tricks".

But after seeing Gu Xing's beast in person, that thought immediately vanished.

The aura emanating from that beast clearly surpassed the realm of epic level!
Owning a legendary beast grants an SSS-level rating, which is only natural.

"Gu Xing, I do have a favor to ask of you."

As Wei Yuan spoke, his gaze swept indifferently toward Xia Xiu.

The city lord immediately understood and respectfully left the room, but his heart was filled with turmoil.
What kind of secret is it that even he, the lord of a city, has no right to know?

After the door closed, Wei Yuan raised his hand and waved it lightly. A pale blue light curtain rippled out like water, enveloping the two of them.

“This is…” Gu Xing’s pupils contracted slightly.

"You will master the basic applications of this domain once you advance to the commander level."

"This thing is mainly to ensure that our conversations are not overheard by outsiders."

Gu Xing stared at the fluctuating energy barrier before him, his expression gradually becoming serious.

It's astonishing that a king-level beast tamer would treat this with such caution, even going so far as to use their domain power to isolate themselves from the outside world.
This is absolutely extraordinary!

It could very well determine the fate of the Longxia Kingdom!
“Gu Xing, you should know that the alternate dimension is another world that is merging with Earth.”

"Countries are establishing defenses in other dimensions to provide a safe training environment for low-level beast tamers."

Gu Xing nodded; this part of history had been recorded in textbooks long ago.

"But Longxia Kingdom's defenses lag behind those of other countries." Wei Yuan suddenly changed the subject. "Do you know why?"

Gu Xing frowned in thought: "Is it because the defense line is not being built smoothly?"

"That's right!!!"

Wei Yuan's finger traced a map of light in the air. "Three years ago, we discovered a giant trial ground at a key location." On the light screen, a scarlet dot was positioned precisely at the defensive hub.

"Under normal circumstances, discovering a trial ground is a good thing."

"But this trial ground is located at the most critical node of the defense line."

"If we don't break through this trial ground, there will always be a gap in the defense line, and those demonic creatures could invade through this gap at any time."

Upon hearing this, Gu Xing couldn't help but look up at Wei Yuan.

"But I don't think I can be of much help!"

Wei Yuan raised his hand to interrupt, lightly tapping his fingertip in the void, and a three-dimensional projection immediately unfolded.

The projection clearly marked the various areas of the Trial Grounds, most of which were displayed in green, representing "cleared," except for the core area, which was still flashing a glaring red light.

"Our army has conquered all other trial areas."

"Only this last place—"

He pointed to the red light, "Requires awakening to level five or below, and a three-person team to challenge."

The projection suddenly zoomed in, displaying detailed data for the area:

[Difficulty Level: Abyss]

The Trial Grounds are special secret realms in another dimension, where those who clear them can obtain generous rewards.

Based on the difficulty level, the official Longxia Kingdom classifies it into five levels.

Ordinary, suffering, nightmares, hell, and at the very top—the abyss!
“I need you,” Wei Yuan said, looking directly into Gu Xing’s eyes, “to complete this ultimate challenge together with two other SSS-level geniuses and help the Dragon Xia Kingdom build its defenses!”

Hearing this, Gu Xing finally understood.

Why would a military region commander personally seek out a novice beast tamer in the awakening stage?

While he was processing this information, Wei Yuan mistakenly thought that he had some concerns.

"This trial is indeed extremely risky. So as long as you participate, you will be eligible to choose one item from the Southern Military Region's treasury."

As Wei Yuan spoke, he raised his hand and unfurled a screen of light in the air.
Countless phantom images of rare materials swirled within the light curtain.

Gu Xing glanced up casually, but his gaze was instantly drawn to one of the materials.

Crystallization of Light?!
Or is it a single, solid crystal of light?!

"Commander Wei!" Gu Xing's voice trembled slightly, "Is there a whole Crystal of Light in the military region's treasury?"

He never expected to learn about the first material needed to cultivate glass here.

A hint of surprise flashed in Wei Yuan's eyes as he lightly tapped his fingertip to magnify the illusory image of the crystal:

"It seems this item is very important to you?"

Gu Xing nodded.

"Alright, as long as you agree to participate in the trial, it's yours regardless of success or failure."

"make a deal!"

Gu Xing agreed without hesitation.

He had originally planned to accept this opportunity to serve the country, and the "Crystal of Light" was a completely unexpected surprise.

When Wei Yuan saw that Gu Xing had agreed, he breathed a huge sigh of relief.

He made a solemn pledge that he would definitely complete the construction of the entire defense line this year.

If he hadn't met Gu Xing, he would have thought he wouldn't be able to complete the mission this year.

They had sent geniuses to participate in the trials before, but even geniuses with SS potential failed to make even half the progress.

Therefore, he could only frantically search for SSS-level potential geniuses within the Dragon Xia Kingdom.

Now, he has finally found it!!

"There's no time to lose, let's set off now. Every day we delay, the breach in the defenses will claim the lives of several more Dragon Summer Beast Tamers."
