When the bus passed through an energy ripple that was almost invisible but slightly stagnated the energy of everyone in the bus, it officially entered the realm of the East Peak Military Academy.
In an instant, as if entering a high-concentration energy liquid from ordinary waters, the activity of the surrounding Source Energy Particle soared.
The air seems to have a bit of weight, and you can feel the energy blending into your body every time you breathe.
"We entered the military academy "Source Energy Enrichment Zone""
Chen Yu explained in a timely manner, "A large source energy guidance matrix has been laid underground throughout the campus, which is linked to the condensers everywhere to form a cultivation bonus area."
The first thing that catches the eye is not the gate of the military academy, but a huge square outside the gate.
The square is paved with some kind of energy-absorbing dark stone. In the center area, a blue boulder about five meters high, which looks ordinary but exudes invisible pressure, stands majestically.
On the boulder, there are only two iron-painted silver hooks, which seem to contain endless sharpness and will in large characters - Eastern Edge!
Just by looking at these two words, Elizabeth felt his Soul Power tremble slightly, as if being pricked by an invisible needle, and his spirit instantly became more focused.
Some of the team members behind her, such as Kevin, snorted subconsciously and turned slightly pale, obviously suffering a greater impact.
"This is the stone carving "Eastern Edge" written by Principal." Elizabeth looked at the huge stone solemnly.
"Yes, this is the "Eastern Edge" stone carved by Principal himself in the early years. You were also present at the time."
Chen Yu's tone was full of reverence, "It may not be a sacred object in itself, but it contains Principal's understanding of the rules. Look over there."
Chen Yu points around the square.
I saw many people sitting on the ground around the boulder, closing their eyes and concentrating.
Among them were students wearing East Peak Military Academy uniforms, as well as foreign warriors who had obviously just arrived and were dressed in different styles.
The expressions on everyone's faces are different. Some frown, some look stunned, and some are trembling slightly, as if they are resisting invisible pressure.
"This is the first stop for many people when they come to the military academy." Chen Yu explained, "Even if you can only withstand this pressure for a moment, it will be of great benefit to Rule Comprehension. I only learned this unique skill after experiencing Eastern Edge Stone once. This is a "meeting gift" that Principal leaves to all visitors."
Lily looked at those who persisted in enlightenment under pressure, with admiration in their eyes. "It's really unpredictable that just a piece of stone with inscriptions can have such an effect."
The bus slowly circled the square.
Ahead, the new gate of the military academy is clearly visible.
It was not a traditional gatehouse, but two dark silver alloy towers that were fifty meters high and shaped like unsheathed swords.
The surface of the tower is as smooth as a mirror, with complex golden energy lines faintly flowing inside.
Between the two towers, there is a translucent energy light curtain that ripples like water waves. From time to time, small runes flash across the light curtain like swimming fish, exuding a heart-stopping aura.
"This is," Chen Yu said with a hint of solemnity, "It is not only a portal, but also a composite system that integrates defense, identification, and attack."
"This "Gate of Judgment" is a blueprint provided by Principal. It is manufactured by our country's Equipment Logistics Department. There is only one set in the world. It is said that when fully activated, it can unleash an attack as powerful as Star Core level."
When the bus approached the light curtain, a soft blue scanning beam swept across the vehicle body from top to bottom.
Immediately, a calm and clear female voice sounded in my ears.
"Identity verification passed, permission level: friendly access. Welcome to the East Peak Military Academy headquarters, Xuanji hopes you will gain something from this."
The light curtain rippled for a moment like stones thrown into the water, then returned to calm, and the bus passed through without any hindrance.
"Xuanji."
Elizabeth said this name silently in his heart.
Entering the campus, the scene in front of you makes these elites from abroad feel like they have stepped into another world.
The campus is vast beyond imagination, far from the temporary camp they remembered.
The buildings in the distance have different styles, but they are harmonious and unified.
Some are like huge metal mushrooms, others are like being made of crystals, reflecting magnificent light, and there is even a tall tower that reaches straight into the sky, with the top of the tower surrounded by source energy vortices visible to the naked eye.
Chen Yu is like a skilled tour guide, pointing to different areas and introducing:
"Look at the area covered by the light blue hexagonal force field. It's "Institute of Source Energy Theory and Soul Mechanics". There is "Soul Tempering Pod" inside the main building, which can simulate various mental disturbances and environments and finely train the control and toughness of Soul Power."
"The pyramid-shaped building over there is "Source Energy Control Advanced Training Tower"."
Chen Yu points to a huge tower made of dark brown metal. The tower is emitting a thick earthy yellow light.
"It not only has an adjustable gravity environment inside, but more importantly, there are complex source energy interference fields and precise control tests."
"For example, under the interference of ten times gravity and high-frequency source energy, you are required to use source energy threads to pass through a moving target with only a millimeter-level aperture, or to stably control dozens of miniature source energy balls with different attributes at the same time to maintain a specific trajectory."
They saw the best performance records of some students scrolling on the display screen at the entrance to the bottom of the tower, which caused the English team members to shout softly.
"And the cluster connected to many white hemispherical buildings is "Tactical Illusion Simulation Center"."
Chen Yu points to an area with a strange layout, "Inside is "Illusion Classroom". Using advanced virtual technology, a more complex and realistic team combat scene can be generated than in Virtual Helmet."
"Xuanji will play the role of the enemy commander, simulating various Abyssal Beast tactical combinations, complex terrain, and even sudden weather and traps. Students need to hone their teamwork, on-the-spot command, and ability to respond to emergencies here. The casualties are only virtual, but the lessons are real."
Through an open observation window, they saw in a virtual classroom a team of five people in a simulated urban ruins, dealing with a group of elusive "Shadow Killer" Abyssal Beast. The source energy light intersected, and the scene was very intense.
What makes them feel that they are everywhere is the existence of "Xuanji" Intelligent Life.
The huge holographic signboard not only displays information, but also provides personalized navigation and suggestions based on the identity and permissions of the person approaching.
Some silver-white robots with simple shapes and precise movements shuttled around, responsible for material transportation and site maintenance. They can even be seen assisting teachers with some repetitive equipment debugging work.
In an open combat training ground, a student was fighting against a "Virtual Instructor" made of pure energy.
Virtual Instructor's moves are fierce and tricky, and they always hit the students' weaknesses. At the same time, Xuanji's calm voice will sound at the right time, pointing out that the student's force angle is 3% off, or suggesting a more effortless pace.
Even in a source energy control practice area, a student had several restless source energy balls suspended in front of him. The electronic voice of Xuanji was patiently instructing. "Pay attention to the weaving density of the mental power thread. The third one from the upper left is too loose. Try using the "Spiral Stabilization" technique."
"Xuanji Intelligent Life has been strengthened several times by Lin Yi Principal with subsequent intelligent core upgrades. Now it has been integrated into every corner of the military academy like air and water."
Chen Yu concluded, with pride in his tone, "It is not only a manager, but also the top mentor and training partner."
"It can provide the most appropriate growth path based on massive data and the characteristics of each student. Many things that we had to explore on our own or even take detours at the beginning, now students can master faster and safer with the help of Xuanji."
The bus finally stopped at "Heroes' Plaza" in the center of the campus.
The square is paved with some kind of energy-absorbing black stone, as smooth as a mirror, reflecting the sky and surrounding buildings.
In the center of the square, stands a twenty-meter-high dark gold metal stele. The stele is shaped like a broken sword inserted into the earth, symbolizing struggle and sacrifice.
The stele is densely engraved with names, glowing faintly in the sunlight.
At the top of the stele, a ball of pure Source Energy Flame like liquid sapphire is burning quietly and will never go out.
Everyone got out of the car and spontaneously stood in front of the stone monument.
No words were needed, and a solemn atmosphere naturally filled the air.
Elizabeth and the team members behind her all lowered their heads slightly to express their respect for Pioneer.
Kevin looked at the countless unfamiliar names and thought that among them there might be students from foreign countries like him. An unspeakable emotion arose in his heart, including sadness and a sense of identity that transcended national boundaries.
Leaving Heroes' Plaza, Chen Yu continued to lead them around.
When passing by a building protected by multiple layers of energy barriers and shaped like several nested and rotating metal rings, Elizabeth's eyes were attracted by the strong and strange fluctuations emanating from it.
Chen Yu noticed her gaze and signaled the bus to slow down slightly.
He came closer to Elizabeth, his voice was very low, with a tone of sharing a secret:
"That is "Advanced Comprehensive Cultivation Tower", which is still in the final debugging stage."
Chen Yu paused and confirmed that the surrounding English team members were also listening intently before saying in a softer voice, "I heard that Principal seems to be considering opening a "Star Core Special Training Class" when the time comes."
"Star Core?"
Elizabeth's ice blue eyes suddenly shrank.
The team members behind her, including Lily and Kevin, also pricked up their ears, with shock written all over their faces.
"Hmm"
Chen Yu nodded affirmatively, with a hint of longing in his eyes, "The threshold is said to be that one must master a unique skill and truly touch the threshold of the rules, and Soul Power and source energy control must reach extremely high standards."
This threshold caused Elizabeth and all the students behind her who heard this sentence to fall silent instantly.
Has Principal Lin's goal set its sights on cultivating Star Core level strong people?
Looking at this grand campus that resembles a combination of precision war machines and future colleges, feeling the ubiquitous advanced technology and rich source energy, and then thinking of Lin Yi Principal's bottomless strength and forward-looking layout, Elizabeth took a deep breath.
This place is worthy of being the "Holy Land" in the hearts of source warriors all over the world.
What we have here is not just top-notch resources and facilities.
What's more important is the clearly outlined path leading to the peak of power.
And the one who leads the way and leads the way for those who come after.
Coming here this time is not only to participate in a battle, but also to baptize the soul and strengthen the belief.
Elizabeth looked in the direction of the main office building, his eyes becoming firmer.
Being able to learn and grow here and have the opportunity to follow in the footsteps of that being is the blessing that every origin warrior dreams of.
The upcoming giant lair battle will be their best opportunity to prove their worth to this mentor and this holy land.
