The First Battle

Just as Chen Jianshu was pondering, a golden streak of light streaked across the Blizzard from the distant horizon, quickly arriving above them and calling out:

"The Abyss Tide is coming!"

The figure flying at the highest point was none other than Angel Douluo Ye Guyi. As her words fell, Spirit Transferring Douluo immediately waved his hand and shouted:

"All personnel, get to the trench!"

At the same time, a jet-black Clear Sky Hammer appeared in Winter Butterfly Douluo's hand and slammed it heavily onto the large bell.

Thump!!

As the deep, resonant Speaker, the students attending class in the tents rose to their feet and, led by Spirit Ice Douluo, ascended the Cold Trench.

All three hundred trainees climbed the city wall and saw the deep green Abyss Tide rolling in from afar.

Thousands of ferocious Predators, as if they had smelled life, pounced on the predator with ravenous hunger.

"The remote team is all in position!"

Standing atop the arrow tower, the Spirit Transferring Douluo gave a command, and numerous ranged Battle Soul Masters stepped forward and summoned their Martial Souls.

Numerous Soul Rings shimmered and sparkled with various colors, while outside, a large number of ferocious Predators continued to approach, estimated to be a kilometer away.

They resembled a surging tide of green demons, ready to tear everything in the Douluo Plane apart. Everyone watched the numerous ferocious monsters below with bated breath.

Their eyes flashed with a scarlet light, filled only with savagery, slaughter, and the desire to devour everything. That's right! They were the super beasts of the Douluo Continent version, devoid of any sense of pain.

The two sides quickly closed in, and when they were only 300 meters apart, a loud shout resounded throughout the heavens and earth.

"Kill!"

As the command was given, countless ranged Soul Skills poured down, relentlessly bombarding the Abyss Tide below.

Rumble!

Xu Xiaoyan is the captain of the ranged Frost Team, while Gu Yue is the Flame Team. Various frost and fireballs rained down, blasting many Predators away, sending fragments of their bodies flying.

Strangely, even with their arms or legs blown off, these monsters still charged desperately toward the Frost Great Wall like super beasts.

"So these are the creatures of the Abyss? What a disgusting bunch! Well then, let me test just how capable you parasites that have plagued the Douluo Continent for six thousand years are!"

Xiao Hongchen stood atop the city wall, surrounded by a full 250 Soul Cannons, their muzzles aimed at the approaching Abyss Creatures.

Xiao Hongchen, now known as Yao Hongchen, is one of the captains of the Ranged Firepower Team, and his companion is Huo Yuhao, who goes by the alias Huo Yunhao.

"Xiao Hao Hao, quickly put yours in."

Xiao Hongchen uttered a cryptic remark, while Huo Yuhao remained silent, his eyes flashing with light, before forcefully unleashing the Spiritual Detection Sharing.

After successfully connecting to his cheat program, Xiao Hongchen rolled his eyes in satisfaction. It felt so good! It was like having full map visibility!

"Little Hao, you're having so much fun! It feels just like before!"

Xiao Hongchen couldn't suppress his smile any longer. Looking at the numerous creatures that had already broken through Cold Trench 100-meter barrier, he also let out a loud shout.

"Damn Abyss Creatures! Today I'll show you what true firepower suppression looks like!"

Xiao Hongchen was surrounded by four black Soul Rings, the same Soul Ring Configuration as Chen Jianshu. Then, two hundred and fifty cannons fired simultaneously, the roar was deafening, and such powerful firepower shocked everyone. They did not expect that there was a master among them.

Huo Yuhao also raised his hand and fired several Ice Cone, then unleashed Ice Explosion Technique. He was the vice-captain of the Xiao Hongchen team.

Under the barrage of fire, more than three hundred Abyss Predators were quickly killed. After the Predators died, the monsters' corpses disappeared as if they had never existed.

The Predator was quickly brought within range of the city wall.

"Range teams, ascend the arrow platforms! Defense Group Assault Group, form ranks!"

The Spirit Transferring Douluo's voice rang out again, and the numerous ranged attackers immediately retreated from the city wall and headed towards the arrow tower.

The Defense Group moved up simultaneously, with five people forming a five-pointed star shape, and twenty-five people forming five five-pointed star formations. The overall aura of the twenty-five people increased by twenty percent.

This is Battle Formation, one of the inventions of the Spirit Transferring Douluo. Because it was their first time forming Battle Formation, they were not yet proficient, hence the only 20% increase.

Heh!

Soon, a Soul King- level Predator climbed onto the Cold Trench. A twelve-year-old boy with the Black Tortoise Shield as his Martial Soul wielded the shield and knocked it off. He was surrounded by three purple Soul Rings, clearly a level thirty-seven Soul Elder.

"Entanglement!"

On Tang Wulin's side, a Soul Ancestor- level Predator also climbed onto the city wall. Blue Silver Grass instantly Entanglement it, and the deep green, ferocious Predator roared, instantly tearing the Blue Silver Grass apart and attacking.

Swish!

Just then, a flash of light appeared, and the Predator's head was instantly severed—it was Xie Xie!

The two exchanged a glance, both smiling, then their figures intertwined as they charged at the oncoming Predator once more.

More and more Abyss Creatures attacked, and the ranged units launched continuous attacks from the arrow towers, while the people below fought off the oncoming Predators.

On Chen Jianshu's side, a Seven Kill Sword appeared in his hand, and a soaring Sword Intent erupted. The Seven Kill Sword, with the momentum to cut through everything, killed the Soul Ancestor Predator that was attacking.

Then, another three Soul Ancestor- level Predators charged in, brandishing their dark green claws. Chen Jianshu drew his sword swiftly and decisively, his figure vanishing in an instant.

The next second, he reappeared, coldly looking at the three frozen hunters in front of him, then flicked the Seven Kill Sword in his hand as if shaking off the blood on it.

Swish!

But in the next instant, numerous sword lights flashed around him, instantly killing the three Predators.

However, someone was soon injured. A Soul Elder encountered a Soul King- level Predator and was immediately scratched, bitten on the arm.

"Ah!"

With a scream, everyone's attention was drawn, and soon, a second, a third, and a fourth wounded person appeared in succession.

Heh!

With a piercing roar, everyone looked over and saw a crimson-green Predator at the Soul Saint level climb up the city wall, staring at the wounded with a bloodthirsty and ferocious expression.

The Predators, smelling the blood, roared excitedly. The scent of blood seemed to ignite their ferocity, making them even more violent.

Just as it was about to begin its slaughter... whoosh! A flash of sword light, and the Soul Saint- level Predator died instantly, its head flying off and its neck cleanly severed.

As everyone looked over, they saw a figure holding a deep blue sword standing atop the city wall, turning his head to look at them coldly. Just seeing that figure from behind gave everyone an immense sense of security.

"Idol!"

The rescued students' eyes lit up as they looked at the Spirit Transferring Douluo, who shouted loudly:

"Wounded, retreat! The rest of the group, provide cover!"

Upon hearing this, the injured immediately retreated from the main battlefield and temporarily withdrew to the Healing Team. The Healing Team also got busy and began to continuously treat the injured.

Meanwhile, on the other side, two dazzling golden lights shone, a golden domain covering everyone, and numerous holy feathers fell down, landing on these Abyss creatures.

Sizzle!

"Hmph!"

As numerous holy feathers landed on the monsters, they sizzled like raw meat being boiled at high temperatures.

With a single swing of her sword, Qian Xue instantly melted numerous Predators. At the same time, her Angel Domain amplified her allies, allowing her to clear a large area single-handedly.

Nearby, Yue Zhengyu felt an extreme suppression of his Martial Soul and stared at the woman in shock.

"That's... Six-Winged Angel?! How is that possible?! There are actually Six-Winged Angels in this world!"

Yue Zhengyu's eyes were filled with astonishment. The Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul should have disappeared long ago! The last owner of the Six-Winged Angel was the Angel God Qian Renxue from 20,000 years ago.

Now it has reappeared! What on earth is going on?! Just as he was in shock, Yuanen Yehui also felt her Martial Soul, Fallen Angel, trembling. If she were within Qian Xue's Angel Domain, she would be weakened.

She had no choice but to switch back to the Titan Giant Ape Martial Soul, grabbing one Predator in each hand, and then slamming their heads together, killing them like smashing a watermelon.

"Yuanen! Let's see who kills more!"

Just then, a woman's delicate shout rang out. Yuanen Yehui looked over and saw Posei Shui wielding a deep blue trident. The seawater surged, sweeping large swarms of Predators off the city walls and slamming them to the ground.

Just yesterday, she suppressed her cultivation level and fought against Yuanen Yehui, who also had a cultivation level of three rings, but she lost and was directly defeated by Yuanen Yehui's "Force Breaks Myriad Laws". She was still not convinced and decided to compare the number of enemies she killed.

Yuanen Yehui was speechless. Who wants to compare with you? We're at war right now!

On the other side, frost and mist swirled, and the sound of flutes drifted on the air. A dozen Predators surrounded Meng Hongchen and Xiao Xiao, but they were all severely slowed down as soon as they got close.

First, the poisonous ice mist slowed them down, then the sound of the flute slowed them down. Many Predators felt as if they had walked into a quagmire, stumbling and swaying step by step. It was a pitiful sight. In the end, they were either crushed to death by the Three-Life Soul-Suppressing Cauldron or poisoned to death.

Other areas are also engaged in fierce battles, with the number of Predators reaching around 1,500, a large number indeed.

"Tides!"

At the same time, Wang Dong whipped up a three-meter-high tidal wave that crashed heavily into the Predator army below, killing several directly and washing away the rest of the Predators.

On the other side, Wu Bingyu and Chen Jianshu met up, one wielding the Peacock Feather Sword and the other the Seven Kill Sword, their killing intent rising everywhere, their incomparably sharp sword energy swirling up countless sword energies.

The two swords combined, unleashing a vast surge of sword energy, exuding a chilling killing intent. At the same time, Chen Jianshu also cast an auxiliary Reflection on Wu Bingyu, instantly doubling her aura.

On the other side, Na'er swept her spear across, killing the numerous Abyss Creatures that surrounded her. Gu Xuanyu's task was simpler: she used a basic attack with her left hand and a normal attack with her right, executing a difficult maneuver of interspersing basic attacks with normal attacks.

With one punch, she shattered the head of a Predator; with two punches, she killed two; with three punches, she killed three. After an incredibly thrilling display of skill, Gu Xuanyu finally killed all ten Abyss Creatures in front of her. Her technique was truly impressive.

Slurp!

Just then, a sharp, piercing cry rang out, and everyone turned to look. A bright red Predator appeared, exuding an incomparably powerful aura.

"It's Predator at the Titled Douluo level!"

"No way! We're only Soul Ancestor Soul Elder! Does that mean Titled Douluo- level Predator is doomed?!"

Many trainees felt despair upon seeing such a powerful Predator. This was simply beyond the reach of them, a bunch of noobs; going over there would be like offering themselves up as food.

However, at that moment, five meteors flew in from the sky and surrounded the Predator, which was at the Titled Douluo level.

Upon seeing the newcomers, everyone's eyes flashed with dazzling light. The figures were none other than the historical figures they had ever seen before: Spirit Transferring Douluo, Winter Butterfly Douluo, Sword-Obsessed Douluo, Spirit Ice Douluo, and Angel Douluo.

All of them were Soul Emperors, and after being equipped with Battle Armor, their auras had reached the level of Soul Douluo or even Titled Douluo.

The five of them worked together and killed the Predator King in just a few moves. With the Predator King killed, the pressure on everyone was greatly reduced, and they all cheered.

With the enemy's commander killed, everyone's morale soared, and they killed Abyss creatures even faster. The battle lasted for two hours before it ended.

With the last Predator slain, the first battle officially ended. Twenty trainees lost their ability to fight and were now receiving treatment in the healing camp.

The others suffered only minor injuries that did not affect their mobility, so they were simply bandaged.

In the treatment camp, some participants were already clamoring to go home.

"This is too hard! I almost died! I want to go back! I don't want to do Military Training anymore!"

The student lying on the hospital bed was already crying from fright. He was just a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy. Normally, children like this are the young masters of their families, and there are also girls like this who are the little princesses of their families.

They haven't experienced many life-or-death battles. They can be resurrected if they die at the Spirit Ascension Platform, but now they're entering the Virtual Platform in their true forms. If they die there, they're truly dead.

Hearing the student's outburst, the other young masters from various families fell silent; they also wanted to go home.

Born into a peaceful society, how could they have endured such brutality? Now, facing this monster and the devastation of the Extreme Cold, they are exhausted both physically and mentally, and all they want is to go home.

As soon as someone started to waver, many of the trainees also began to falter, and for a time, the atmosphere in the treatment camp became heavy.

Soon, a figure slowly walked into the treatment camp. It was Spirit Transferring Douluo. Seeing their idol enter, their attention was immediately drawn to him.

"My lords, I know this is your first time fighting on the battlefield, and you are all afraid of the enemy. I will not force you to defend this place to the death. Whether you stay or leave is up to you. Everyone has their own ambitions. I hope we will meet again someday."

As he finished speaking, several pop-up windows appeared in front of the people who were clamoring to quit.

Should I withdraw from Military Training?

Friendly reminder: If you withdraw from the mandatory Military Training, you will be asked to leave the college.

Two updates on October 10th. I had too many classes today.
