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

The freshman exchange competition has come to a complete end.

The mentors had verbally promised that Lin Yuan and his friends would have a good time to relax and explore the area around the university in Shanghai.

In reality, everyone knows that it's just a polite remark; the real time to relax is limited to the afternoon and evening of the day after the competition ends.

The next morning, just as dawn was breaking.

Liu Bai, the leader of the War Academy, summoned Lin Yuan and the rest of the group to a secret meeting room in the Magic City Academy.

Apart from Qin Tian, ​​Gu Qingcheng, and a few other seriously injured players who were still in the intensive care unit, the rest of the main players and substitutes from the three top universities were all sitting here in an orderly fashion.

At the front of the conference room, three team leaders stood side by side, their expressions unusually serious.

Liu Bai adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses, his gaze sweeping over the young faces below. He cleared his throat and said in a deep voice:

"I'm sure you all know that the freshman exchange competition is just an appetizer for our trip."

"After the exchange competition, the academy has arranged an extremely important training mission for you."

Upon hearing the words "training mission," everyone present became serious.

"And you've probably already learned a bit about this training mission." Liu Bai paused deliberately, his tone carrying a chilling undertone: "It's related to the Abyss Cult!"

The Abyss Order!

Those are the mortal enemies of all mankind, a bunch of complete lunatics!

"The location for this training is an open-air secret realm in the far suburbs of Shanghai, called the East Sea Misty Secret Realm."

Upon hearing this name, the expressions of several students from the Shanghai Academy immediately changed.

Clearly, as locals, they had long heard of the infamous reputation of this secret place.

Professor Zhou from the Shanghai University stepped forward, took over the conversation, and began to give a detailed introduction.

"The environment of this secret realm is extremely harsh. It is shrouded in a strange sea fog all year round, with extremely low visibility. Many times, you can't even see your hand in front of your face."

"The abyssal monsters that roam inside live in the mist year-round. They are very good at hiding and are extremely cunning and bloodthirsty."

Professor Zhou looked around gravely, then emphasized, "The most critical issue is that the intermittent sea fog there possesses an extremely strong interfering magnetic field!"

"It can perfectly block all electromagnetic signals, even cutting off our magical communications!"

"In other words, once you go deep inside, you will completely lose contact with the outside world."

"In a dangerous situation, there's a high probability they won't even be able to send out a distress signal!"

"It is precisely because of these extremely harsh characteristics," Instructor Zhou took a deep breath, "that the East Sea Misty Secret Realm has been classified as a Grade A high-risk secret realm!"

"Don't assume that the monsters in an A-level secret realm are necessarily high-level."

"Actually, that's not the case. The monsters that appear in this secret realm are generally around level 30 on average."

"Logically speaking, with your current level, you should be more than capable of dealing with level 30 monsters."

"However!" Instructor Zhou's tone shifted, becoming heavy, "This does not prevent its mortality rate from reaching a terrifying 50%!!"

A 50% mortality rate!!

When this number was announced, many team members couldn't help but gasp in shock.

"The reason why the mortality rate is so high is mainly due to the strange sea fog and the unpredictable attacks by monsters," Instructor Zhou sighed helplessly.

"Moreover, this is because the Shanghai military regularly sends a large number of personnel in every year to carry out a thorough cleanup, forcibly suppressing the reproduction and mutation of monsters."

"Otherwise, the level of monsters and the level of danger inside would probably be several times higher!"

After Professor Zhou finished his introduction, the conference room fell into a deathly silence.

Upon hearing that the mortality rate was as high as 50%, they were shocked.

Finally, someone at the Imperial Capital University couldn't sit still any longer.

"Old teacher!"

A boy named Song Yu raised his hand shakily and asked a question with a pale face.

Song Yu is a support-type professional in the Imperial Capital Academy team, and he is known for his frail physique within the team.

"The natural environment of this secret realm alone already results in such a high mortality rate."

Song Yu swallowed hard, his voice trembling: "You mean, we not only have to go in for training, but also investigate traces of the Abyss Cult in this place?!"

"Isn't this sending us to our deaths? This is too dangerous!"

Song Yu's concerns were actually the sentiments of most people present.

Investigating cultists in an A-level secret realm? This is practically a hellish start!

However, Liu Bai, standing in front, narrowed his eyes slightly in response to Song Yu's panic.

Instead of offering words of comfort, he revealed a deeply meaningful smile.

"Danger?" Liu Bai chuckled lightly. "So, this is the time to test the teamwork skills of you chosen ones."

At this point, Liu Bai proudly puffed out his chest and looked toward his own academy.

"Anyway, as the team leader and instructor, I have absolutely no worries about our team members from the War Academy!"

As soon as Liu Bai said this...

Swish swish!

In the conference room, almost all the team members from Shanghai University and Beijing University rolled their eyes at each other.

It was slammed hard into Professor Liu, who was talking without any sense of responsibility!

Many people were internally complaining and criticizing.

Of course you're not worried!

Your War Academy's team has Lin Yuan, an unreasonable and monstrous mechanic!

With his health, plus over 10,000 true damage reflection, and a shockwave that can shatter a level 50 barrier!

As long as he doesn't encounter a high-level expert who is several levels higher than him.

With Lin Yuan acting as a wall of sighs in front of them, how could the people of the War Academy possibly encounter even the slightest danger?!

Let alone a 50% mortality rate, even if it were a den of dragons and tigers, Lin Yuan could walk out as if he were strolling in his own backyard!

Feeling the resentful gazes of the crowd, Professor Zhou from the Shanghai Academy shook his head with amusement.

He quickly reassured them, "Alright, you don't need to worry too much."

"That 50% mortality rate is just an average."

Looking down at these young geniuses, Instructor Zhou's eyes were full of expectation: "You are all the pride of the three top universities. Your equipment and skill combinations are worlds apart from those of ordinary professionals."

"Therefore, considering only the danger of the secret realm itself, with your strength, entering it will definitely not be a problem."

Then, Instructor Zhou's expression turned serious again: "The main objective we set for you is not how many monsters you kill."

"The real purpose is to investigate whether there are any traces of members of the Abyss Order inside!"
