Beat Him to Death

Ling Jian walked straight up to Chen Fan and solemnly performed a standard Martial Artist salute.

"Virtual Battle Realm, I am completely convinced."

He slowly raised his head, his eyes filled with no resentment or unwillingness, only a pure fighting spirit born from utter submission.

"From today onwards, you are the captain of this team."

It was a resounding statement.

Upon hearing this, Shen Xuan and Su Qingyue couldn't help but exchange a glance.

Even a proud and arrogant genius like Ling Jian, who had almost never submitted to any of his peers, had voluntarily submitted to Chen Fan, making Chen Fan's leadership position unshakeable.

Chen Fan looked at Ling Jian in front of him and nodded calmly.

"Good."

One word was enough to acknowledge the agreement.

Thus, the five strongest trainees of this year's Blue Star Training Camp have officially assembled.

"Cough."

Chief Instructor Zhao Xin cleared his throat, stepped forward, and glanced at the five monstrous little guys in front of him with a complicated look, especially the ten-year-old Chen Fan.

He took a deep breath and announced the leadership lineup for this expedition, "This Milky Way Star System Exchange Tournament will be fully overseen by our specially appointed chief instructor Gu Ci, and I will serve as his deputy, handling all accompanying matters."

He composed himself, his expression becoming more serious than ever before, and began to introduce their destination.

"The location of this Exchange Tournament is in the Milky Way Star System, one of the three major Star Systems of the Human Federation, specifically on the Greedy Wolf Star!"

"It's a planet incredibly rich in resources, but also extremely chaotic. It's been occupied by space pirates and Cosmic Mercenaries for years, and is recognized by the Milky Way's Seven Training Camps as the most perfect natural Colosseum."

"What you need to do... is to join forces and fight for survival within the territory designated by the Federation on Greedy Wolf Star!"

"As for the specific rules, I will send them to your respective communication wristbands in a moment. Now... pack up and get ready to depart!"

As Zhao Xin finished speaking, Chen Fan other four exchanged glances before leaving the Simulated Training Room.

Half an hour later, at the central square of the Training Camp.

A military-grade Interstellar Assault Ship, entirely black and covered with menacing barbs and energy patterns, hovered silently in mid-air like a lurking Starry Sky Behemoth.

Chen Fan, Ling Jian, Su Qingyue, Shen Xuan, and Tuo Bashan, whose face was bruised and swollen but whose fighting spirit remained high, stood side by side.

Under the awe, envy, and even fanaticism of all the trainees in the camp, they slowly walked towards the descending boarding ladder.

Lu Qing and Xiao Ran were also among the crowd.

Looking at the small, thin figure walking at the front, they felt no longer capable of comparison, only pure admiration.

That was a mountain they could never reach in their entire lives.

"Buzz!!"

Five people boarded the assault ship, and the heavy Alloy hatch slowly closed, isolating them from all outside sounds.

Inside the bridge, Gu Ci stood alone in front of the huge arched porthole, his hands behind his back, looking down at the Training Camp that looked tiny, and out at the vast blue sky.

His gaze finally settled on Chen Fan's back, who was not far away, curiously examining the facilities inside the ship.

A subtle smile appeared on Gu Ci's perpetually icy face.

"If I remember correctly... that guy was on Sirius, right?"

"I wonder... which of your disciples is stronger, yours or mine!"

Gu Ci spoke softly, a glint of light flashing in his eyes as if he were recalling something, but soon he returned to his lifeless state.

Buzz!!

The engines of the Interstellar Assault Ship emitted a deep hum, and the Blue Star outside the window rapidly shrank in the field of vision, eventually transforming into a dazzling gem set against the boundless black velvet.

The ship shuddered slightly, having already entered the Warp Channel.

Bizarre and distorted bands of light flashed past the porthole, as if traveling through a tunnel of time.

Inside the bridge, however, the atmosphere was very quiet.

The data transmitted by Chief Instructor Zhao Xin has been synchronized to the communication wristband Light Screen of each person.

On his first interstellar journey, Tuo Bashan, like a curious child, squeezed his massive body against the porthole, exclaiming in amazement at the ever-changing scenery outside.

Shen Xuan pretended to be calm, but his eyes were actually glued to the window, and he would occasionally mutter something like, "It's nothing special."

Ling Jian sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, his whole being like an ancient sword sheathed, its sharpness concealed.

Su Qingyue held the Light Screen and quietly flipped through the documents. Her icy blue eyes appeared even more profound under the reflection of the data.

Chen Fan was also looking at the documents.

On the screen, the information of the students from the two strongest Training Camps in this Exchange Tournament, Heavenly Wolf and Vega, was highlighted.

The chief of the Sirius Training Camp was placed at the very top of all the information.

[Xiao Nanfeng]

[Age: 15]

[Qi and Blood: 1000 calories (Complete)]

[Overall assessment: Suspected to have Bone Refinement one of the five internal organs, Half-Step Organ Refining Realm.]

[Battle Record: Undefeated in all challenges of the same rank within the Sirius Star Region.]

The boy in the photo has a handsome face, a faint smile on his lips, but his eyes are as sharp as an eagle's.

Chen Fan's finger slid lightly across the Light Screen, bringing up Battle Recording several of Xiao Nanfeng's past key battles.

He looked at it with unusual seriousness.

Although he possesses Invincible Momentum, it doesn't mean that Chen Fan is just a brainless brute.

On the contrary, Chen Fan wouldn't mind knowing his opponent's weaknesses if he could.

Just then, a chilling coldness silently enveloped the entire bridge.

Gu Ci had appeared behind Chen Fan like a ghost at some point.

Gu Ci slowly extended a finger and gently tapped Xiao Nanfeng's smiling profile picture on the screen.

"If I run into this guy..."

Gu Ci paused for a moment before slowly speaking.

Remember to kill him!

Kill him?

Chen Fan was taken aback.

Immediately, Chen Fan slowly raised his head and asked with some curiosity:

"Teacher, what's going on?"

"Did this kid offend you?"

A slight ripple suddenly appeared on Gu Ci's otherwise expressionless face.

"You don't need to worry about that. All you need to know is... kill this guy!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Fan's joking expression slowly faded.

Although Chen Fan didn't know why Gu Ci was so insistent on killing this guy, his teacher had actually spoken up...

"Okay, teacher."

Chen Fan's voice trailed off, but his gaze returned to the Light Screen, fixed on Xiao Nanfeng's face, which still wore a confident smile.

Chen Fan smiled slightly.

"Sorry, bro, my teacher told me to kill you, so I guess I have no choice but to... kill you!"

The Exchange Tournament itself has a limit on casualties. Even if Chen Fan kills this so-called Xiao Nanfeng during the Exchange Tournament, Chen Fan will not be punished in any way.

The only trouble... might be the pressure from the Sirius Training Camp.

But... what's there to be afraid of!
