Don't try to cultivate immortality; mortals live longer than immortals.

"Yeah, it's pretty close, but it's only a fraction of what I'm making."

Duan Xuan smiled, but he didn't notice that the way he addressed Ling Yun almost caused her to experience a lag similar to a computing overload.

The girl concealed it well, and by urgently utilizing redundant reserve computing power, no problems arose.

Otherwise, if her calculations were to go slightly wrong, Shuiyun Star would inevitably fall into chaos, which would be terrible. Even a minor problem would definitely attract the attention of the three Nascent Soul stage monsters, who would then send out countless engineers to eliminate any potential bugs in Lingxi.

When that time comes, the difficulty will increase exponentially if you try to get away with it.

Fortunately, I managed to nip this dangerous trend in the bud.

"That was close!"

Lingyun stuck out her tongue.

At the same time, she tried to mentally prepare herself. It's just a small title, what's wrong with her? Her reaction is a bit too outrageous.

Could it be a program error?

But I am not an ordinary AI, but have become a silicon-based intelligent life form. Logically and emotionally, such a problem is impossible.

For a moment, the girl fell into deep thought and self-doubt.

Duan Xuan was completely unaware of all of this.

As the instigator, he had no idea that the affectionate term he had casually uttered in a moment of joy had almost brought great disaster to Shuiyunxing.

At this moment, the other students had also finished playing with and exploring the nano-spiritual energy value detector, and they all began to curiously detect the combat power data of the students next to them.

For a time, they lingered there, reluctant to leave, and had a wonderful time.

However, at that moment, the authoritative voice of instructor Zheng Lei entered his ears.

"Alright, stop playing around. We have a lot to do. Next, I'll demonstrate how to use the next piece of equipment."

As he spoke, he took out a palm-sized metal box from his tactical backpack.

"This is……"

……

Time flies, and under such intense training, time seems very tight and short.

They were almost constantly on the go, with only very little time to rest in between. Whether it was getting familiar with and mastering the equipment or the subsequent training, it was all very arduous.

Unexpectedly, despite the exhaustion and hardship, no one complained or slacked off during the process, since they were about to head to the opposing side to participate in the Crimson Trial.

This is not a drill, but a real battle. Dangers are everywhere in the instance. The more skills you acquire now, the greater your chance of returning safely.

Nobody's stupid. There's a time and place for slacking off. Training someone who's half-hearted is tantamount to suicide.

……

The first day of training was divided into three sessions.

The morning session focused on understanding, familiarizing with, and mastering the technological equipment.

In the afternoon, virtual reality technology was used to recreate the terrain of the Azure Sky Cultivation World, which was used as a training ground for group battles.

This was further divided into several subjects, which were used to identify and address any gaps in knowledge. In particular, equipment endurance management, a subject that was originally inconspicuous, left a very deep impression on everyone.

The reason is simple: many people don't realize that what they are about to face is not a one-on-one duel, but an extreme survival challenge in a closed, secret realm.

Therefore, you must consider your own endurance. When encountering a strong opponent, you should not only aim to win, but more importantly, minimize consumption and losses in the process.

Otherwise, even if you defeat your opponent, you will suffer heavy losses on your own, and you will easily be finished off by later enemies.

This is clearly not acceptable.

Therefore, the most important thing is the evaluation.

When facing an enemy, the most urgent task is to make a rough assessment and comparison of one's own strength and that of the enemy.

If you can crush your opponent, there's no need to hesitate, just go for it and charge in without thinking.

Conversely, if the enemy is strong, avoid contact and run away if possible.

As for whether to flee further away or try to sneak back and launch a surprise attack after fleeing, this requires a case-by-case analysis and a choice made based on the circumstances at the time.

What students often overlook is how to deal with an opponent who is weaker than them, but not by much.

Many hot-blooded young people rush in to fight, thinking they are better than others. Do they think they can run away?

But in fact, it shouldn't be like this.

As I just mentioned, you need to consider the sustainability and the benefits you can gain from this battle. Otherwise, even if you win or kill the opponent, it's meaningless if you're left with low health in the process.

"Be careful, this trial is not a mission to send you to your deaths. Our first priority is to survive, and only then can we complete the mission and earn more contribution points."

"Never put the cart before the horse, or all your efforts will be in vain once you fall from grace."

The instructors gave earnest instructions and corrected many students' operational errors.

Zheng Lei is not only a Golden Core Ancestor, but also a cultivator in the Demon Suppression Army who has been fighting on the front lines, so he has a wealth of experience.

This is also a major advantage of Guixu compared to other cultivation worlds.

Although there are distinctions of rank among cultivators here, the gap in status between them is not as extreme as in the classical cultivation world, as is typical of modern society.

In other dimensions, these are merely novices at the Qi Refining level. To expect guidance from a Golden Core Ancestor, and even to be taught step by step, is not just a pipe dream, but a delusional fantasy of a lunatic.

The training continued until 9 p.m.

Of course, it wasn't like we were training all the time. On the contrary, the third special training session after dinner was mainly a review of the day's training and combat, as well as some personalized adjustments.

Thanks to the drone's multi-angle, no-viewpoint, and all-weather recording capabilities, almost any mistake made by each person during training can be verified afterward.

Then, based on the problems exposed during these training sessions, the instructors provided specific and targeted guidance, from which everyone benefited greatly.

It felt like after a whole day of training, everyone's strength might not have improved much, but when facing strong opponents, it greatly increased the chances of winning and surviving.

The gains were plentiful, but the exhaustion was also obvious.

After the instructor announced the dismissal, everyone rushed back to the dormitory without hesitation. It wasn't that they wanted to rush back to play games, but rather that they planned to wash up and go to bed immediately.

It's no exaggeration to say that everyone is exhausted.

This time, Zhou Ran didn't stand out from the crowd; instead, he lagged behind by two steps and joined Duan Xuan.

Zhou Ran's face was full of anxiety as she whispered, "Ah Xuan, what should we do? We really haven't learned about talismans and magical artifacts, and the instructor just won't believe us. What are we going to do?"
