Exotic Beast Continent

"..."

Su Luo said nothing, merely gazing quietly at Mo Qinghuan.

Seeing this, Mo Qinghuan did not ask any further questions.

"If you don't want to say it, then I won't ask."

She turned around, took out a map of Azure Star from a drawer, and spread it before them.

Su Luo had seen maps of Azure Star online before.

The northern half of the planet was the Human Continent, while the south was an endless ocean.

But when he took a closer look, he realized that this map seemed rather different from ordinary maps of Azure Star.

An unknown continent actually existed in the ocean south of Azure Star.

Yet there had not been the slightest bit of information about this continent online.

Seeing Su Luo's puzzled expression, Mo Qinghuan said, "It seems you've already noticed the difference."

"Why is this map different from the ones online?" Su Luo asked in confusion.

"Because this is Azure Star's true map. The maps online are merely there to fool the world," Mo Qinghuan said calmly.

"Why go to such great lengths?" Su Luo lowered his head to look at the map, unable to understand.

"Because this continent is called the Exotic Beast Continent." Mo Qinghuan pointed at that vast stretch of land.

"Exotic Beast Continent?!" It was Su Luo's first time hearing that name.

Mo Qinghuan nodded.

"This continent is enormous, roughly twice the size of the Human Continent in Azure Star's north."

"It is rich in mineral resources and possesses every kind of terrain and environment. Countless exotic beasts live there, and its survival conditions are extremely dangerous for humans."

"That is why every nation agreed not to reveal any information about the Exotic Beast Continent."

"Only students admitted to world-class universities are allowed to learn of the Exotic Beast Continent, and they must agree to keep this secret."

Even then, Su Luo still did not understand why Mo Qinghuan had suddenly told him about this.

"Why are you telling us this?"

At that, Mo Qinghuan rose to her feet.

She walked to the window and looked out at the peaceful campus beyond.

"Su Luo, do you think Giant Ability University is large?"

Su Luo froze at the question. Thinking back on the size of the school, it truly did not seem large enough for a top university.

Other than the several-hundred-meter-high wall at the entrance, there really were not many important facilities.

At that moment, a bold thought surfaced in his mind.

"Could it be..."

Seeing that Su Luo had already guessed part of it, Mo Qinghuan no longer beat around the bush.

"Giant Ability University's headquarters is not here at all. It is far away on the Exotic Beast Continent!"

Even though he had already suspected as much, Su Luo was still greatly shocked by the news.

"Then how are we getting there? By ship?" Su Luo asked with a frown.

Mo Qinghuan playfully wagged a finger.

"No, no, no. There are many powerful exotic beasts in the sea. What if a ship gets sunk? It would be far too dangerous, and it would also waste a tremendous amount of time."

"There is a Space Gate within the school that leads directly to the university headquarters!"

"A Space Gate? There really is such a thing in this world?" Su Luo blurted out in astonishment.

Mo Qinghuan pointed at Zhang Taiyi's portrait on the wall.

"All of this is thanks to Tianlong Kingdom's greatest figure, Zhang Taiyi."

"He is the only person in the world with Space Ability."

"So that every nation could jointly develop the Exotic Beast Continent—"

"He set up Space Gates at top universities around the world that could teleport people to the Exotic Beast Continent."

"Because Zhang Taiyi was so selfless and disregarded national borders, his prestige throughout the world is extraordinarily high."

Su Luo stared at the portrait carrying a faint pressure, and a trace of respect for Zhang Taiyi rose in his heart.

"This is the bearing a true powerhouse ought to possess," Su Luo sighed.

Mo Qinghuan nodded slightly in agreement.

Then she continued, "Tomorrow, you will pass through the Space Gate and enter the university headquarters to begin your training. The weather on the Exotic Beast Continent is ever-changing, so remember to bring more clothes for different seasons."

"You aren't coming to headquarters with us?" Su Luo asked.

Mo Qinghuan shook her head.

"No. The Star God Society has been rather restless these past few months, and Giant Metropolis needs someone to keep watch."

Hearing about the Star God Society again, Su Luo could no longer suppress his curiosity.

"I saw in the news that the exact location of the Star God Society's headquarters is a mystery."

"Then tell me, could the Star God Society's headquarters be somewhere on the Exotic Beast Continent?" Su Luo said in a low voice.

Mo Qinghuan was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly pointed at Su Luo's mouth, telling him not to spout nonsense.

If the Star God Society's headquarters truly was on the Exotic Beast Continent—

Wouldn't that mean the Star God Society was connected to Zhang Taiyi?

After all, Zhang Taiyi was the only person in the world capable of sending people or objects to the Exotic Beast Continent.

"Su Luo, once you enter the university headquarters, you must never say such things."

"You're indirectly smearing Zhang Taiyi's name. When the time comes, one spit from each person would be enough to drown you!"

Su Luo finally realized that he had misspoken.

He raised a hand to cover his mouth, indicating that he absolutely would not talk nonsense again.

After leaving the office, he returned to his temporary dormitory.

This dormitory was a single room specially arranged by the school for Special Recruits, and it was fully equipped with all kinds of facilities.

Not long after he returned, someone knocked on his door.

When he opened it, he saw the three sisters he knew well standing outside.

"We came to see you!" ×3

Su Luo stepped aside and let the three sisters enter and sit down.

Shen Huaiyue leaned into Su Luo's room and swept her gaze around. Seeing no suspicious figures, she secretly nodded.

"Brother Su Luo, where did you go just now? We came looking for you, but you weren't here," Shen Huaiyu asked with her head tilted.

Su Luo told them everything Mo Qinghuan had said earlier, reminding them to keep it secret and not mention it to their families.

They would find out tomorrow anyway, so there was no harm in learning a little earlier.

The shocking news left the three sisters unable to recover their senses for a moment.

Tomorrow, they would be heading to a continent that had never appeared on any world map.

The thought made them extremely excited.

"I knew it. A world-famous university couldn't possibly be so small. So this place isn't the university headquarters at all," Liu Yunyi said delightedly.

"This time, we're truly setting off on a new journey." Shen Huaiyue clenched her fists excitedly.

"Let's go buy some clothes first. Didn't Brother Su Luo say that the weather on the Exotic Beast Continent changes without warning? The clothes we brought probably won't be enough," Shen Huaiyu said.

"Let's go, let's go. We can grab a meal outside while we're at it." Su Luo stood up and put on a mask, not wanting to be recognized.

The four of them passed through the wall that shot straight into the heavens, left the school, and entered Giant City.

They walked along streets that were completely unfamiliar to them.

The combination of three beautiful women and one man drew the attention of most of the men around them.

They stopped one after another, staring at the masked Su Luo.

They wanted to see just what made Su Luo so attractive.

The four of them paid no attention at all to the gazes of others, browsing through one shop after another.

They did not notice that from within a luxury car on the opposite street, a pair of eyes was fixed on Su Luo.
