I gain permanent defense when attacked; even gods and demons can't hurt me.

Lin Yuan turned away, no longer looking at her: "Let bygones be bygones. I hope you can become a completely new version of yourself."

Watching Lin Yuan's departing figure, Chen Xiaoman bit her lip, tears welling up in her eyes, but ultimately did not fall.

She knew that some things, once missed, could never be found again.

After a slight reorganization.

The four teams joined forces, forming a large square formation of over a hundred people, and marched majestically into the deepest part of the wasteland.

Once the Abyss Beacon is lit, this month-long hellish military training will be successfully completed.

however.

As the group ventured deeper into the area, an eerie atmosphere began to permeate the air.

It's too quiet.

In the past few days, even on the outskirts, they could hear the roars of beasts and encounter attacks from beast packs of various sizes.

But today.

Since entering this black canyon area.

An absolutely desolate area had appeared around them!

Let alone monsters.

Even the most resilient red-striped beetles didn't even make the sound of the wind blowing through the rocks!

The whole world seemed to have turned into a silent film.

Something's not right.

Chu Tianxing, who was walking at the front of the group, frowned deeply.

He instinctively gripped his sword tighter, his wild eyes scanning his surroundings warily.

It's too quiet.

"It was eerily quiet."

"It's as if all living things were scared away by some terrifying presence, or... wiped out."

The freshmen behind them also felt this oppressive atmosphere, and their initial joy at completing the mission was somewhat diminished.

Everyone unconsciously moved closer to the center and gripped their weapons tightly.

Finally, after passing through a narrow, dark canyon, the view ahead suddenly opened up!

A towering ancient tower, hundreds of meters high, stands silently at the edge of the wilderness.

It is made entirely of obsidian and is covered with intricate abyssal runes. Although it has been abandoned for a long time, it still exudes a desolate and majestic aura.

[Abyss Beacon (Not Activated)]

"arrive!!"

"It's a beacon tower!!"

Upon seeing the finish line, a long-suppressed cheer erupted from the crowd.

"We've finally arrived! Once we light it up, we can go home!"

"Charge!!"

Several impatient students who had been recommended for admission couldn't contain their excitement and broke away from their formation, rushing towards the beacon tower.

"return!!"

Deputy Instructor Li Feng's expression changed, and he was about to stop him.

Just then.

Lin Yuan, who had been walking at the front in silence, suddenly raised his hand.

His voice wasn't loud, but it carried an undeniable authority, instantly drowning out all the cheers: "Stop right there!! Have you all forgotten the military discipline we've cultivated over these past twenty-odd days of training?!"

boom!

With that angry shout, Lin Yuan immediately activated [Gravity Pressure].

Those freshmen who rushed out felt their legs sink, as if filled with lead, and were frozen in place.

"Instructor Lin, what's wrong?"

"Yeah, the finish line is right ahead, why won't they let us go?"

Everyone looked puzzled, and some were even dissatisfied.

Lin Yuan ignored their complaints.

His deep eyes were fixed on the seemingly empty beacon tower and the distorted shadows surrounding it.

Omniscient and Omnipotent, activate!

[WARNING! High concentration of murderous intent detected!]

[WARNING! Spatial shielding field detected!]

[WARNING! Target race determined - Human!]

"Everyone, form ranks!!"

Lin Yuan pulled out the shield from behind him and slammed it hard on the ground.

He turned around, looked at the group of bewildered freshmen, and roared:

"This isn't a monster!"

"This isn't a test from the school!"

"This is"

Lin Yuan hadn't finished speaking.

Centered on that beacon tower.

Four purplish-black beams of light shot into the sky, instantly intertwining to form a huge hemispherical light shield.

Seal the barrier, activate!

In the blink of an eye, the space within a five-kilometer radius was completely sealed off, and all external sensing was cut off!

And in the shadow of that beacon tower.

Dozens of figures dressed in black bodysuits and wearing ferocious Hannya masks emerged slowly, like ghosts.

The leader held a long sword that emitted an eerie red light.

He looked at the people trapped within the barrier and let out a sinister laugh, laced with a broken accent: "Hehehe, geniuses of China, welcome to your graveyard!"

Deputy Instructor Li Feng's expression changed drastically: "A sealing barrier? This is an advanced formation capable of isolating external perception and teleportation! That tone... it's someone from Japan! How did they infiltrate this place?!"

At this moment, all eight instructors gathered together and stood at the very front of the formation.

Apart from Lin Yuan, the other seven people are all at level 40 or above.

The leader of the men in black let out a sinister laugh, spoken in broken Chinese: "Lin Yuan, let's see who can save you this time! And all of you geniuses, you'll all die here!"

Faced with this group of murderous assassins, the freshmen turned pale and their legs went weak.

But they were facing monsters of the same level.

These people in front of them are professional assassins whose level far exceeds theirs and who are proficient in killing techniques!

"Don't panic!!"

Just then, a thunderous roar exploded.

brush!brush!brush!

Eight figures instantly rushed to the front of the group, like eight pillars of strength, firmly blocking the way for the new students.

brush!brush!brush!

Eight figures instantly rushed to the front of the group, like eight pillars of strength, firmly blocking the way for the new students.

These are the eight instructors for this military training!

Apart from Lin Yuan, the other seven are all elite students in their third or fourth year of university, and all are above level 40.

Li Feng, holding a dagger, looked extremely grim: "Sealing Barrier! This is a high-level formation used by Onmyoji from Japan; it can isolate all external perception and spatial teleportation!"

"And how did they get in so quietly?!"

Li Feng glared at the leader, gritting his teeth: "Shadow Stream ninjas, assassins of the Abe family!"

Standing in the very center was a burly man carrying a giant warhammer on his back.

He is Xiao Zhan, the chief instructor of this military training.

[Level: lv51]

Xiao Zhan had a resolute face, with a conspicuous scar running across his cheek, making him look extremely fierce.

Despite this desperate situation, he remained unusually calm.

He glanced at the purplish-black barrier above his head and sneered:

"It seems that the last trip to Azure Island really gave those bastards from Japan a good beating."

"To kill a freshman, they actually secretly dispatched a squad of shadow warriors."
