CHAPTER 1016: CHAPTER 813: VOID CITY (EXTENDED CHAPTER) (2)

"Look over there."

The students followed Yang Hai’s pointing finger and could vaguely see some transparent-bodied monsters.

"Those are Void Creatures..." Yang Hai thought for a moment and added, "Specially weakened version."

"Due to the special rules of the high-level void, killing Void Creatures can give you some advantages, such as enhancing elemental affinity, but of course, it can’t be infinitely increased and has limitations."

The Void Creatures on the gray earth aren’t particularly large in size.

Far from comparable to those Transcendent Tier Mutant Beasts they have seen and battled.

It just doesn’t seem very strong.

Yang Hai, being experienced, timely supplemented, "Don’t underestimate those Void Creatures, even if they are specially weakened, they are not something you can handle now... You’ll need your strength to grow to a certain level and gain the qualification to leave the city."

"Then... Mentor, what are truly real Void Creatures like?"

The novice student asked with twinkling eyes.

Yang Hai fell into contemplation.

What indeed are they like?

He hasn’t seen them either!

But, as the head of the mentors, a reliable predecessor and guide in the eyes of a group of new students...

He couldn’t admit he hadn’t seen them.

"Um... very strong, overwhelmingly strong."

It’s like how Yang Hai says this city is indescribably awe-inspiring.

Said it... as if not saying.

The students have grown accustomed instead.

It’s probably very strong, very strong.

Suddenly,

"What... What is that?"

A student pointed towards the distance.

It seemed like a huge meteor was approaching.

Gradually magnifying in their view.

The surface of the meteor was uneven, covered with spikes, surrounded by four vast pillars like the four hooves of a monster...

"Wait, that meteor is moving... It’s not a meteor!!"

The unidentified object gradually enlarged in their field of view.

The students saw it clearly.

It was a massive turtle-like monster, its shell resembling a mountain, increasingly displaying its vastness as it approached.

Almost comparable to a small city, even though beneath their feet was the majestic Void City, the students still broke out in cold sweat, their bodies freezing.

An indescribable oppressive aura overwhelmed them!

"It it it it it—"

The students were terrified.

Yang Hai also covertly swallowed his saliva.

Facing a real Void Creature, he was not much stronger than the students.

But he remained fairly calm.

Yang Hai was more aware of the safety degree of this Void City and knew top-level experts are stationed, ensuring security.

His fluctuating emotions quickly calmed down.

He smiled and said, "Weren’t you just asking about how strong real Void Creatures are? Look, now you understand, right."

Understood.

Understood too well!

Mortally understood!

"Mentor, mentor, mentor, mentor, it’s, it’s coming towards us!!!"

In the Genius Class, students are indeed those with strong willpower.

Even facing invincible enemies, they often can calmly think and find ways to defeat them.

But at this moment,

As the Void Dragon Turtle got closer, the oppression directly affecting the soul, stemming from the life level, grew stronger.

Despite the intention to stay calm, brain functioning became increasingly sluggish.

Moreover,

this was the result filtered by arrays.

Yang Hai felt a bit frightened inwardly too, but maintained a calm exterior.

"Don’t panic, it’s just a bit bigger, you must learn to be as composed as I am."

"Instructor, you seem so calm, you should be able to handle that Void Creature, right?"

Yang Hai: "..."

Which student is so oblivious!

In just a few minutes, the Void Dragon Turtle had already come very close.

You could clearly see the patterns on the turtle shell and the fierce dragon head.

As the Void Dragon Turtle approached, it brought with it gusts of gray airflow, like a hurricane, blowing toward the city rooted in the high void.

Whoosh~~

The gray hurricane swept over the island, visibly weakening upon impact. When the gray Annihilation Wind hit the city walls and the city’s sky, the rippling halos easily neutralized the Annihilation Wind.

The entire Void City did not experience the slightest tremor, and many students let out a sigh of relief.

Eyes never left the Void Dragon Turtle.

In an instant,

clang——

A streak of golden light appeared from the center of the Void City, at the mountain peak, piercing through the void like a long rainbow, and in the blink of an eye, it pierced the Void Dragon Turtle.

It entered from one side of the turtle shell and emerged from the other side.

The golden light transformed into a cold and stern man holding a long spear.

The man did not give the Void Dragon Turtle a chance to breathe, his spear striking like a shadow, invoking the Law of Penetration, easily piercing through space, rendering distance and dodging meaningless before him.

In an instant,

he pierced through dozens of weak points on the Void Dragon Turtle’s body.

The Void Dragon Turtle was in pain, stirring up endless space vortexes.

It decisively fled, attempting to escape into space, only to be penetrated by the man again and again, falling out of space.

The Void Dragon Turtle’s struggle grew weaker and weaker, its recovery speed unable to keep up with the man’s destructive speed, until finally, the man pierced through the dragon head, and the students, who had been holding their breath for over ten minutes, finally let out a breath.

"So strong."

"Of course, Mr. Zhong Ping is the guardian of this Void City. You just arrived and already got to see Mr. Zhong Ping in action; that’s your luck."

The voice came from not far away.

Immersed in the intense battle, the students just returned to their senses and turned to see a tall, lean man conversing with Instructor Yang Hai.

"This is Yu Jiang, you can call him instructor or senior, whatever you like. Anyway, this guy is your guide in the Transcendent Class."

Tall and lean Yu Jiang shrugged helplessly and said to the students, "That’s pretty much it; the Transcendent Class doesn’t have many courses. Everything depends on self-study. If there is anything you don’t understand, you can ask your senior brothers and sisters or anyone, really. In the Void City, anyone you encounter can likely answer your questions."

Between the lines, you are all juniors.

Although it’s true, the students still felt a bit disheartened.

After handing over the students to Yu Jiang, Yang Hai left.

His figure disappeared in the transmission array’s halo, leaving without a trace.

Yu Jiang led the twelve new students towards the interior of the Void City.

The streets here were wide but empty, with hardly any sign of people.

Yu Jiang said, "There are very few people in the Void City. Besides you students, there are only some who stay behind to work in the Void City, like me... The entire Void City roughly has about a thousand people."

He pointed to the unique courtyards on both sides of the street, "You can choose any of these courtyards to be your residence during your stay in the Void City.

Look, the ones where the lion head sculptures are lit indicate someone is living there. Aside from that, you can choose any of the vacant courtyards; each courtyard is equipped with corresponding cultivation facilities, even more advanced than your dormitories at the World Tree Academy."

Some students were concerned about when they would be able to leave the city to hunt weaker versions of Void Creatures outside...

Yu Jiang shook his head with a smile, "Don’t even think about it in your first year. Be honest, solidify your foundation, and improve your strength. Inside the Void City, aside from newcomers like you, it’s rare to see Senior Transcendents below the Three Core... In fact, even First Tier Transcendents are not many."

"Are there Second Tier students too?"

"...Isn’t breaking through to Second Tier within a year or two common knowledge?"

Is that really common knowledge?

Vito and several exchange students found their perceptions greatly challenged.

Gathering a Source Core takes a few months at least; achieving five or six cores would take three to four years, and that’s if successful.

Yu Jiang said, "Being able to join the Transcendent Class barely makes you Heavenly Prides. How could we let Heavenly Prides waste time on ordinary cultivation? Within the Void City, there’s a Pure Source Power Pool, capable of producing massive amounts of absorbable Pure Source Power. In one or two years, as long as your realm is sufficient, you could even break through in a month."

"This batch of new students entering has one opportunity to soak in the Pure Source Power Pool, for a time of one day, and how much you can absorb depends on your own fortune."

Vito and the other students’ breathing became heavy.

The direction they were heading towards was precisely the Pure Source Power Pool.

Before long,

they arrived at the mountainside, where the Pure Source Power Pool was located.

From afar, they felt the presence of others.

Among them were some ’not strong,’ seemingly newcomers like them.

Newcomers from other worlds?
