Silence...

These incredibly proud students all fell silent.

They knew this trial was meant for them, and their earlier complaints were indeed wrong.

Yu Qingnian didn't need to indulge them; after all, they were used to being pampered in the inland areas.

At this moment Yu Qingnian nodded slightly and calmly said, "Since no one is willing to leave, then today's training will begin here."

He was leaning against the wall of the Ruined Pass when he snapped his fingers slightly.

A faint blue light suddenly appeared.

The illusory door opened, revealing complete darkness inside, making it impossible for anyone to see what was inside.

Li Chen frowned; in his eyes, countless flowing white lines seemed to be stirring.

Yu Qingnian said calmly, "Go in. Your training today will begin here."

"If you can't hold on any longer, just yell 'Help!'"

"A robot will take you away."

People entered one after another, filled with curiosity.

It was pitch black inside, but as the first person entered, a pale blue light instantly appeared, illuminating the entire passage.

Many students exclaimed in surprise.

Because the walls were filled with Eerie Monsters corpses, but they were sealed inside by a special substance.

There are also many descriptions on the walls.

These are all special titles for these Eerie Monsters, or perhaps they have some weaknesses or characteristics.

The passage was very long, which meant that none of the Eerie Monsters were alike.

This indirectly illustrates the diversity of Eerie Monsters, but these students are unaware of this because they live inland and rarely encounter Eerie Monsters. In fact, many students first came into contact with Eerie Monsters in the academy's Secret Realm.

However, these things only surprised the trainees; after all, they would only get excited if they saw something "alive".

"Damn, none of these monsters are even good-looking!"

"They're all incredibly ugly."

Su Zhe touched the wall and teased.

At this moment Li Chen smiled, as if he had thought of something.

"You used to eat the flesh of these monsters every day? Why didn't you tell me?"

Su Zhe scratched his head; he had no idea these Eerie Monsters were so ugly.

At this moment Yu Qingnian walked to their side and said, "These Eerie Monsters are the ones that were recorded in the past. The Eerie Monsters nowadays are not like this."

"They are evolving, just like you, improving yourselves every day."

Su Zhe was somewhat puzzled, but he began to ask Yu Qingnian.

"Then Instructor Yu, since these Eerie Monsters can evolve, does that mean they are all devoid of reason?"

Surely something wise will emerge?

"Wouldn't that allow us humans to negotiate with those Eerie Monsters?"

Yu Qingnian remained silent, but Jianping, who was standing to the side, looked at Su Zhe as if he were an Eerie Monsters and said in a low voice, "Is your brain filled with water? If monsters were to develop intelligence, then it wouldn't be as simple as negotiation."

"If we have the intelligence to easily find Eerie Monsters flaw in an object, then if monsters possessed intelligence, it would be a catastrophe for humanity."

"They will find a way to break through these barriers sooner or later."

Li Chen responded, "Jianping is right. If Eerie Monsters possess intelligence, then they are no longer Eerie Monsters, but intelligent species."

"The entire planet is shrouded in Black Mist, making up 90% of its area. It's teeming with Eerie Monsters; if they were to launch a coordinated attack, even humans would struggle to withstand it."

As they talked, Yu Qingnian shook his head, recalling the video he had seen yesterday. Perhaps intelligent species really had appeared among the Eerie Monsters, but humans were unaware of it.

Or perhaps that intelligent Eerie Monsters doesn't easily reveal itself, not wanting humans to observe it.

As they continued their journey.

The eerie blue light quickly dissipated, and they found themselves in a large, square hall.

All around them were countless square halls, similar to theirs, connected by a transparent glass structure, arranged in a row that seemed to stretch into the distance.

Su Zhe looked at the high-tech turret he had just encountered and exclaimed excitedly, "My goodness, this is high-tech!"

Even not far from him were several giant robots moving about, equipped with numerous weapons and looking extremely imposing.

This is inside the pass, not at the top, nor outside the pass.

However, these high-tech products did catch the eye of many trainees.

Li Chen's attention was drawn to a tightly closed door, the metal of which still bore traces of black blood.

It seems he's only been here a short time, and he probably already guessed what the situation inside is like.

Close the door and beat the dog!

Once these gates are opened, they should connect to the world outside the pass, and naturally, those Eerie Monsters will enter through these opened gates.

These turrets and robots are used to deal with these Eerie Monsters creatures.

Because these robots are not human and are tireless, they open the gate every so often.

And the Eerie Monsters outside will be Cleansing away.

Naturally, there won't be many Eerie Monsters.

Their arrival seems to be to Cleansing these Eerie Monsters, and these robots should be watching from behind.

This is what they learn from their experience.

Many people probably guessed it already, and this suited them perfectly, because to live in the Ruined City, they had to hand over a certain amount of "Merit" every day, which could only be obtained by killing Eerie Monsters.

And now is an opportunity for them to make money.

However, not long after...

Yu Qingnian said, "Your next task is to fight alongside these robots and eliminate the Eerie Monsters."

"Every time an Eerie Monsters is killed, the surveillance cameras here will record it, and the data will be transmitted to your Student Badges. Of course, if you haven't upgraded your Student Badges yet, just ask a student who has already upgraded their Student Badges to do it."

"Of course, it still comes down to the same thing: safety first. If you can't win, just call for help."

"These robots will help you."

Li Chen glanced at the crowd around him and then stepped back.

Let's see what's going on. These Eerie Monsters that have entered shouldn't be too strong.

"Chen-ge, I, Su, am off!!" Su Zhe shouted, gripping a hammer in one hand and pulling out a high-tech weapon from who-knows-where in the other.

Li Chen smiled and looked at Jian Ping, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, still Comprehension the "Jianping".

Once he entered, he immediately got back into the zone.

I entered into that Comprehension.

Li Chen murmured, "Looking River Realm should have made considerable progress during this month of training."

The Looking River Realm is different from the Dripping Water Realm. In the Dripping Water Realm, as long as one becomes Sequence User and has good enough talent, one can quickly enter the Looking River Realm.

However, Looking River Realm will have to rely entirely on himself to gradually hone his abilities.

Or perhaps it's only when one's mental strength reaches its limit that one can break through. This is precisely why Li Chen is so troubled.

His spiritual power was bottomless, and he couldn't sense when it would reach its peak.

Jianping and Su Zhe's paths are different from his; one trains the body, and the other trains the sword. They are not the same.

With a sigh, Li Chen looked at the crowd waiting for the Eerie Monsters to arrive through the metal gate, a hint of helplessness flashing in his eyes.

Improving one's spiritual level is not so easy.

As a series of roars rang out, the robots converged behind them in perfect unison.

The door is about to open.
