Ruined City.
The scarlet moon hovered in the sky.
On the rooftop of a high-tech building, Li Chen stood, seemingly lost in thought.
Their residence was located in the technology building right below him.
"The King's Power?" A hint of surprise flashed in Li Chen's eyes as he slowly raised his right hand.
The wings and sword engraved on the back of the hand were exquisite.
The only difference is that this is not an ordinary tattoo, but a symbol of the existence of the King's Power.
In Li Chen's eyes, the world had changed, become bizarre and wonderful, and everything was wrapped in a flowing white bandage.
Is this ultimately a misfortune or a stroke of luck?
Li Chen raised his eyes and looked at the scarlet moon in the sky, a thought flashing through his mind.
What would happen if you put your hand inside a human body?
What if it were inserted into one's own body?
We're all human; it's impossible for us to only be able to enter other people's bodies but not our own, right?
Li Chen looked at his chest and hesitated for a moment.
His right hand slowly moved towards his chest, and a pale white light instantly shone through as his hand actually went inside.
But contrary to his belief, he couldn't touch his internal organs; all he felt was emptiness.
There was nothingness. He reached inside with his hand, but couldn't touch anything.
So what exactly is the use of this King's Power?
He also tried reaching into inanimate objects, but it was all in vain.
The strange sound earlier had led him to insert his penis into Su Xian's body; it seemed he had no choice but to give it a try.
He needs to figure out what this King's Power is all about, and perhaps then he can uncover the secrets of the strange space hidden within his body.
Li Chen clenched his fist, looked up at the dark sky, and murmured...
"In the end, a fog is still obscuring my vision."
"One day I will find out the origin of this strange space of yours, and also the masked man."
The next day.
Li Chen and the others woke up early.
Their phones had already received today's training assignments.
[ From my Instructor Yu]
[Students who have received this message, please proceed to the area north of the Ruined City.]
I will be there waiting for you all.
Li Chen put away his Student Badge, looked up at the window, and murmured, "The training has begun."
After exchanging a few words, the group went downstairs.
It was that familiar smell; as soon as they came downstairs, it began to absorb some of the energy from their bodies.
Su Zhe scoffed, "Damn, at this rate, I'll lose several pounds a day!"
The constant inhalation and exhalation was taking a toll on his physique, but he got used to it.
Li Chen, however, smiled. He didn't react much; he could absorb any of Li Chen's spiritual power at will. Since breaking through to the Looking River Realm, his spiritual power had almost never run dry.
This is the terrifying nature of talent. Of course, if the city were to drain his physical strength, he might suffer even more than the fat man.
Jianping, on the other hand, looked calm today, even with a hint of surprise on his face. Due to special circumstances, the feedback he received was sword intent, which was a good thing for a swordsman, a great thing indeed.
By observing different sword techniques, one can hone them on oneself sooner.
This is a good thing for Jianping, precisely because his ability lies in Comprehension. Perhaps it won't be long before he is able to comprehend that ethereal power.
After a few rests, the group soon arrived at the designated location.
Of course, it could have been faster, but Su Zhe was so tired that he lay on the ground and didn't want to move, so Li Chen condensed a cloud of energy to drag him along.
Jianping, however, walked very slowly in order to Comprehension that power.
But they all arrived in the end.
This journey has been quite eventful.
Simply getting to a designated location has already stumped many teams.
Yu Qingnian looked at the many trainees collapsed on the ground, exhausted. A slight smile played on his lips as he murmured, "This is just the beginning."
Li Chen, however, had plenty of energy. He looked over here and thought to himself.
The northern part of the Ruined City is almost at the foot of the Ruined Pass.
Could it be that we really have to go through the checkpoint today?
Or perhaps we should go out of the pass to meet the enemy?
Just then, a voice rang out from beside him, and Su Xian walked over with A Jin.
A Jin's face was somewhat pale, and even his hands, which he used to enjoy playing with the gold thumb ring, were trembling slightly.
It seems they've been through quite a lot along the way.
Su Xian, however, remained calm, looking at Li Chen with a faint smile.
"What's the matter?" Li Chen asked.
After all, if this guy comes looking for me, it's probably not for anything good; something must have happened.
Su Xian smiled and said, "It's nothing, I just came to check on things, since the training is about to begin."
Li Chen didn't say anything more.
A Jin, standing beside him, couldn't contain himself and muttered to himself.
"Is this trial really going to force us to go through a final battle?"
People will die!
Li Chen frowned; clearly, A Jin's thoughts were similar to his own.
At this moment, Su Xian stood beside him and whispered, "This trial will most likely be the Upper Realm, but it won't be today."
"Judging from the way Instructor Yu looked at us sickly bunches today, I doubt he'd let us pass through."
Li Chen nodded slightly. What he said made sense. Only about half of the students were present, and many of them were probably tired after last night.
Not everyone is as lucky as they were to meet Wei Laoda and get a clear direction.
I don't know how much time has passed...
Yu Qingnian looked at the students who had gradually arrived with a somewhat serious expression and said, "You're a little late, but not bad."
At this point, many students began to chatter about what happened last night, since Yu Qingnian hadn't arranged proper accommodations for them, leaving them homeless.
Still in this eerie city.
Yu Qingnian frowned, but wasn't angry. He simply said casually, "I know you have grievances. Why didn't I make proper arrangements for you yesterday? And why did I still allow you to participate in this training knowing you were in this state?"
"But I'll only say one thing: those of you who can't stand it can leave now."
"I already notified the vehicles to wait here."
Yu Qingnian snapped his fingers, and several Silver Flashes rushed over instantly, stopping smoothly.
He continued, "I'm not your parents. This is just a trial. If you can't even handle this little thing, perhaps you should go back to the inland."
"Whether you stay or leave is your own choice. The path is under your own feet; it's up to you which way you walk."
The chattering instantly subsided.
Yu Qingnian's words were very calm, and one could not even detect any emotion in him.
But these seemingly simple words are truly poignant.
These students are all talents from the Special Class, ranking among the top 100 students in the entire Canglan Academy. Their pride may be defeated by others, but they cannot bear being belittled and treated as worthless.
