Chapter 365: Interstellar Lightning-style Battle
Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
After he stopped his cultivation, Feng Lin immediately rushed to the training ground.
Very soon, the other freshmen all arrived in small groups of three to five people. They stood in neat rows with straight backs and quietly waited.
The fierceness of the instructor was known to all. If someone dared to defy his orders, they would instantly be lashed.
Devil training paid particular attention to iron-blooded discipline. It was a good way to see if one’s will was strong enough or not.
If they got on the wrong side of the instructor, they wouldn’t even have a place to cry even if they wanted to cry.
Thud, thud, thud!
The sounds of footsteps rang out.
The instructor walked over, and there were a bunch of robots behind him, bringing micro-mecha armors with them.
“Is the instructor going to try some new tricks?”
The freshmen exchanged glances, feeling somewhat depressed in their hearts.
“The overload devil training for the first day has already concluded. I’m already very clear about your endurance and will. Next, we will begin a new devil training, the interstellar lightning-style battle.”
The instructor stood before everyone and stared at them. His gaze was as sharp as a sword, wanting to pierce through them. “All of you are students of the Great Wall University as well as one of the most elite warriors among the younger generation. Interstellar humans would often clash with alien races throughout the years in either minor clashes or major clashes. Living an easy and comfortable life would only cause deaths! Now, what we are planning to let you all go through is precisely an interstellar leader-execution battle! We will be disembarking on a certain planet, and the mission is for you all to a.s.sa.s.sinate the leaders of an alien race who go by the t.i.tle of cave dweller chieftains. Everyone, quickly don your equipment! All of you are supposed to work together in this battle.” He announced a mission for this stage of training.
“What? Our numbers are so little, yet you want us to a.s.sa.s.sinate the leader of an alien race? This is too dangerous!”
“Cave dwellers are a race that stays in the core of a planet. The environment is extremely vile and completely unfavorable to humans. This is merely training, is there a need to go so far?”
“That’s right, we might really die!”
…
“Die?” The instructor laughed with disdain. “Since you all have chosen the path of cultivation, you shouldn’t be afraid of death. You must remember that right now, you guys are not only students but are also frontier guards of humanity. If you are afraid of death, why did you join the Great Wall University? During recruitment, everything was already made clear to you. There would always be a death count from our devil training yearly. It’s fine if you all wish to quit now. If this is the case, stepped out now. Those who gave up on this mission shall be expelled from the Great Wall University. There’s no longer a need for trash like those to partic.i.p.ate in this mission!”
His voice was filled with menace and biting-cold killing intent.
The instructor was cruel and cold-blooded, not giving the freshmen any way to reject.
The freshmen were all momentarily speechless. But no one dared to speak out to rebut the instructor anymore.
It wasn’t easy for them to join the Great Wall University. If they were expelled so soon after joining, how shameful would that be? They wouldn’t be able to bear such shame.
“Wear the equipment and board the debarkation flying shuttle now. Don’t blame me for not being polite if you all are slower even by a single second!” said the instructor in a strict tone. He brandished his whip and lashed out on the ground for a grand effect.
Everyone also didn’t have the time to complain. They hurriedly obeyed because they knew that the instructor wouldn’t be polite to them at all.
All of them were elites and naturally would have fast movements. Very quickly, they were fully equipped.
“Get on the shuttle.” The instructor pointed to a gigantic universe flying shuttle as the door opened.
The freshmen lined up in groups and entered.
The flying shuttle then activated, flying into the air and entered a wormhole after some traveling.
The freshmen sat facing each other. The atmosphere was solemn and felt extremely tense.
At this moment, the instructor walked over. He opened up a holographic projection and revealed a completely dark planet. This planet looked like a huge ball of black metal. There were no water sources, and it didn’t seem to be a planet where life could exist.
“This is the Blackmetal Planet and 60% of the ground here contains metallic elements. The surface of the planet’s crust is constantly shrouded in darkness and it is extremely cold. The ecosystem of the planet lies beneath its crust. The more one gets toward the core, the warmer it would be. Cave dwellers reside on this planet, but members of this alien race are extremely sensitive to thermal radiation. Once we got close to their nest, we would instantly be discovered and you all will be heavily besieged and surrounded by them. The situation then would be extremely dangerous.
“Hence, we need a plan. The atmosphere of the Blackmetal Planet is extremely thin. During the day time, there’s only two hours of light. But because this is a metallic planet, the temperature would rapidly rise above 300 degrees. Under such a scorching temperature, the cave dwellers would enter deep sleep, and their senses would also be the weakest then. The best place for us to land is 1,000 kilometers away from their nests. You all have to rush there with lightning speed and sneak into their nest when their senses are weakened, taking the chance to kill the chieftains of this nest!” After speaking, the instructor pointed to a location reflected on the holographic projection, and an extremely deep ravine appeared before the eyes of everyone.
How monstrous!
The expressions of the freshmen all turned extremely unsightly.
In an environment over 300 degrees in temperature, they had to run over a thousand kilometers within two hours and even had to a.s.sa.s.sinate a cave dweller chieftain!
What a terrifying interstellar lightning-style battle, was this even accomplishable by humans?
This devil training was simply like walking on a tight-rope. If one wasn’t careful, they would die a terrible death.
“This battle is extremely tough and dangerous. Hence, everyone would have a chance to be saved. Once you all are in inescapable danger, press the warning b.u.t.ton on your wrist and I will immediately act to save you. But if you do this, you all would no longer obtain any rewards and your academic points would even be deducted. For this mission, the first person to kill a chieftain would obtain 100,000 contribution points and 1,000 academic points, the second would gain 20,000 contribution points and 200 academic points, the third would gain 10,000 contribution points, 100 academic points. Next for the other seven of the first ten, they would receive 5,000 contribution points and 50 academic points. Within the first hundred rankings, they will receive 1,000 contribution points and 10 academic points.
“After the first hundred rankings, there would no longer be any reward, but those who pa.s.s would still be able to receive genetic potions and nutrient solutions provided by the university. Begin your preparations now! We will reach the Blackmetal Planet in three hours.” After telling everyone the mission, the instructor turned and left, leaving the freshmen here.
The freshmen began to check their equipment. The following training would be exceedingly dangerous; thus, they had to be 100% prepared.
Very soon, three hours pa.s.sed.
The black planet in the distance grew closer. And under the light rays, the black planet reflected a reddish glow, making it resemble a huge fireball.
“Begin to disembark.” After the flying shuttle entered the atmosphere of the planet, the shuttle’s door swung open.
The freshmen all jumped out from the shuttle.
In an instant, the fiery heat gushed forth right in their faces.
This planet seemed more like a giant furnace instead.
Earth Tunneling Technique!
The moment the freshmen landed on the ground, one of the students immediately executed a move. His body glowed with an earthen-yellowish light as he silently burrowed into the ground, rapidly tunneling toward his objective.
Wind Movement Technique!
Another one of the freshmen executed a technique. His body was surrounded by wind energy as he soared through the air.
Gravity Technique!
Another freshman controlled gravity, allowing him to perform leaps of great distance with ease.
…
The freshmen began to unleash a variety of techniques.
They had to move 1,000 kilometers within two hours in this scorching-hot environment. If they used their legs to run, how long would that take them?
Golden Crow Fire Escape!
Hu~
A flowing stream of fire arced through the sky as a golden figure s.h.i.+mmered in and out of existence. It was none other than Donghuang Taichu.
Flap, flap~
Two pairs of pure white wings actually appeared on Augustus’s back, making him resemble a four-winged angel. He rapidly soared through the skies as well.
These two instantly flew far ahead of the pack, leading the others by a great margin.
Swish~
But at this moment, a colored cloud somersaulted. Feng Lin executed his Cloudsoar ability and dashed past everyone with lightning speed.
“This brat!”
Donghuang Taichu and Augustus glanced at each other as their expressions froze. They hurriedly increased their speed and chased after Feng Lin.
The three of them didn’t want to lose out to each other and kept increasing their speed at intervals, trying to overtake each other. Soon, they left the other freshmen far behind their dust.
But as time pa.s.sed by, both Donghuang Taichu and Augustus were stunned. The distance between them and Feng Lin didn’t decrease but actually increased instead!
(What cultivation base does this brat have exactly?)
(What genetic ability is that?)
(He could be so quick even when flying?)
…
Everything was a mystery.
The atmosphere in Blackmetal Planet was truly like a steaming furnace. Even with the micro-mecha armor equipped, everyone was sweating profusely.
The lightning-style battle required luck and chance as well. Time was of the essence.
Feng Lin increased his speed even further. There was nothing to obstruct him in the air.
Very soon, he discovered a ravine that emitted a dangerous feeling. The canyon looked like a huge gaping maw on the surface of the ground, resembling a black hole that would devour everything.
