The Absolute Sword World had no day or night; the sky was perpetually gloomy.
After the camp was set up, the students took a brief rest before starting to discuss their next strategy.
Even without Instructor Zhao reminding them, everyone knew that holding out in the camp for twenty days would be a terrible idea.
There were two reasons.
First, in the Absolute Sword World, every Sword Cultivator was like a torch in the darkness, constantly drawing Sword Slaves to attack.
The first wave consisted of only three hundred Sword Slaves, but the number gathering afterward would only grow. Foundation Establishment Sword Slaves, and even stronger ones, would appear one after another.
On top of that, spiritual energy was scarce in the Absolute Sword World, and supplies were hard to come by. If they kept grinding away against the Sword Slaves, large numbers of the team would probably be lost in less than a week.
Second, Evil Slaying University's assessment of the freshmen during military training.
Instructor Zhao hadn't said so outright, but it was certain that the better the students performed during military training, the higher their evaluations would be.
After military training, those evaluations might be converted into credits or other hidden benefits. Conversely, poor performance would lower the school's opinion of them, and those hidden benefits would disappear.
Anyone who didn't want to let themselves go would have to prove their worth during military training.
These two reasons quickly made the students realize what they needed to do next.
To avoid being surrounded by large numbers of Sword Slaves, they couldn't stay in camp. Instead, they needed to split into small groups and actively explore the area.
That way, even if they ran into Sword Slaves, the students would catch them off guard, and there wouldn't be
