The comments said I was deeply affectionate, I just added points by using an alternate account.

Li Yan stopped in front of the safety line.

The dark purple light cast shadows on his resolute profile.

He turned around and faced this group of Huaqing's top geniuses.

"One last reminder."

His voice made everyone's heart skip a beat.

"Once you cross this line, you will no longer be students, but soldiers."

"Forget the rules and courtesy of the academy; here, the only rule is to survive."

Li Yan's gaze swept over everyone, lingering for a moment on Chen Guan's face.

"Set off."

He uttered only those two words, then turned around first and strode towards the spinning abyss.

His silhouette was swallowed up by the swirling dark purple nebula.

Situ Ming followed closely behind.

An Changqing, Long Ao, Qin Wu, and the other students, their faces a mixture of excitement and nervousness, stepped into the abyss one after another.

Chen Guan was the last one.

The moment I stepped in, the world shattered.

The world spun around me, my senses were stripped away, and I felt as if I had been thrown into a bottomless darkness, with only falling, an endless fall.

In his mind, Baal's excited, monstrous laughter echoed: "Hehehe, welcome to the cracks of the world, kid, enjoy this free roller coaster."

The feeling of weightlessness lasted for an unknown amount of time before I suddenly felt the sensation of stepping on thick sponge.

All the senses that had been taken away have returned.

Chen Guan opened his eyes.

A bizarre world that defies common sense.

The sky was a dark purple with flowing bands of light, like a giant crystal dome.

There was no sun; the light came from a giant luminous object floating in the sky, like a group of jellyfish in the deep sea.

In the distance, islands hang in mid-air, connected by glowing vines and stone bridges.

They were standing on the edge of a floating island, with a grayish-white, elastic fungal carpet beneath their feet.

There was a strange smell in the air, a mixture of metal and rotting plants, and it felt cool when you breathed it into your lungs.

"Oh my god..."

A first-grade student shouted excitedly, jumping three meters high before landing silently.

"The gravity here is so light."

"The gravity here is only two-thirds of that outside, so don't do any strenuous exercise," An Changqing said immediately, then cautiously scanned his surroundings.

This was also his first time here.

The plants here are all blue, purple, and black, some resembling twisted corals, others like giant fungi, and their surfaces are covered with glowing spores.

The world is beautiful, but it's breathtakingly beautiful.

Physically, it's deadly.

"There are no blue skies and white clouds here, only predators and prey."

Baal's voice rang in Chen Guan's mind, filled with the pleasure of showing off his knowledge: "Every plant that you think is harmless could be a top hunter. Kid, open your eyes wide, or you won't even know how you died."

Chen Guan didn't make a sound; he just felt a chill run down his spine.

For him, with his heightened senses, from the moment he stepped into this place, countless greedy and cold gazes were fixed on them, wanting to lick them clean from the inside out.

The leopard at his feet began to stir, emitting a very low warning growl.

This land held a fatal attraction for it, yet it was also filled with terror that sent shivers down its spine.

"Quiet."

Li Yan's voice wasn't loud, but it made every student's heart sink.

Everyone immediately shut up and stood up straight.

Li Yan and Situ Ming stood side by side at the front, their expressions more solemn than anyone else's.

"This is the outer perimeter of Supply Point No. 3. The void concentration is stable, but there are low-level void beasts active here."

Li Yan lowered his voice to make sure everyone could hear him.

"Basic objectives: Adaptive hunting, collecting Void Beast cores, and familiarizing oneself with the environment."

He pointed to a floating island in the distance, entwined with dark blue vines.

"That's the target area. Now, move forward."

The group began to move slowly, everyone gripping their weapons tightly, taking each step with extreme caution.

Click.

A very soft sound, like a broken twig, came from a clump of waist-high, crystal-like purple plants at the left front of the group.

The sound was extremely faint, yet in this deathly silent environment, it pierced one's eardrums painfully.

Chen Guan's gaze instantly locked onto that spot; though it was invisible to the naked eye, he could already sense it.

"All personnel on high alert."

Li Yan's voice, like a taut string, resounded in everyone's ears.

"I'll go take a look."

One impatient student, a student majoring in enhancement, couldn't contain himself. He was very confident in his speed.

"Don't move."

An Changqing grabbed his shoulder, his voice calm and unyielding.

As soon as he finished speaking, the thickest crystal tip in the beautiful purple crystal cluster burst forth with dazzling purple light.

call out.

A solidified purple energy spike, accompanied by a piercing shriek that tore through the air, hurtled straight toward the throat of the first-year student on the outermost edge of the group.

too fast.

Even as the student's expression remained one of eager anticipation, the shadow of death loomed over him.

clang.

In a flash, a silver light appeared, blocking the path of the spikes.

It is An Changqing's sword.

He didn't even fully draw the sword; he only pulled it half an inch out, and the streak of light from the blade collided with the purple spike.

A piercing metallic scraping sound rang out, and sparks flew everywhere.

An Changqing stepped on the fungal carpet and created a shallow pit, the force of which made his hands go numb.

His expression was solemn; indeed, every blade of grass and every tree here was not to be underestimated.

Of all the known realms, aside from the mythical realm of gods, the most dangerous is this spacetime rift, also known as the void realm.

Because of the high level of danger, humans have not explored the Void Realm much. The powerful beings of the past stabilized and enclosed certain areas, which is the origin of the Void Secret Realm.

The creatures that roam here are mostly those that were accidentally swept into the cracks but were not annihilated; instead, they miraculously mutated.

"Thank you, senior."

The first-year student who had narrowly escaped death was pale-faced and swallowed hard, still feeling lingering fear.

Long Ao glanced at him, took half a step forward, and blocked several first-year students behind him.

"Hehehe, an interesting appetizer."

In Chen Guan's mind, Baal laughed gloatingly: "Kid, look closely, this isn't just one."

Without Baal's prompting, Chen Guan's senses had already spread out.

The moment An Changqing blocked the attack, the seemingly harmless crystal forest came to life.

More than twenty crystals lit up simultaneously, transforming into cannon barrels poised to fire, all their tips locked onto the uninvited guests.

"It is a type of Void Beast that mimics the Crystal Archer."

Situ Ming spoke up: "This is a social creature with high physical defense, but its weakness lies in its roots."

Before he could finish speaking, the second volley had already begun.

Dozens of purple energy spikes intertwined to form a deadly net, sealing off all escape routes for everyone.

An Changqing drew his longsword, its light swirling and transforming into an impenetrable star-blue light screen in front of him, blocking most of the attacks.

Long Ao was even more direct. He clenched his fists and forcefully blasted away the spikes that had broken through An Changqing's defenses.

boom.

The fist collided with the spikes, and the shockwave blew the surrounding fungi and plants aside, thus blocking this wave of saturation attack.
