Starting Off by Choosing Su Yuntao!

Just as everyone on the Douluo Continent remained in shock and various factions were rapidly reacting and making arrangements, the sky screen underwent a new transformation.

The screen shone with brilliant light, and lines of text gradually emerged.

[The selection of the first batch of explorers has begun. Three spots will be chosen at random.]

[Countdown initiating!]

[Ten, nine, eight...]

Seeing the countdown, people across the entire continent involuntarily held their breath.

The countdown hit zero.

Three independent windows instantly appeared on the sky screen, and three names lit up alongside the silhouettes of the individuals.

[Heaven Dou Empire commoner, Wang Er!]

The first person selected was an old farmer with a stubbly beard, still holding a hoe in his hand.

Seeing this result, many spirit masters breathed a sigh of relief.

Everyone knew that the unknown was accompanied by immense risk.

While this mysterious world sounded like it held heaven-defying opportunities, a place capable of birthing such terrifying giant beasts must be far more dangerous than the deepest reaches of the Star Dou Great Forest.

Opportunities were good, but one had to be alive to enjoy them!

Immediately after, the second window lit up.

[Spirit Hall Nuoding City deacon, level 26 Great Spirit Master, Su Yuntao!]

Inside the Spirit Hall branch office.

Su Yuntao, who was just preparing to head to the next village to help children awaken their spirits, was completely stunned.

He pointed blankly at the light screen in the sky, staring at the silhouette that looked exactly like him. Whether out of excitement or fear, his entire body began to tremble, his legs went weak, and he nearly collapsed to the ground.

Me? I was selected?

He was merely a low-ranking deacon of the Spirit Hall; his usual tasks were just helping children awaken their spirits. Even missions to capture low-level spirit beasts rarely fell to a level 26 Great Spirit Master like him.

But now, exploring a high-dimensional world?!

Before Su Yuntao could react, the third name was announced.

[Heaven Dou Imperial Academy, level 39 Spirit Elder, Yu Tianheng!]

At the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy training grounds.

Yu Tianheng was startled at first, but then a fierce fighting spirit erupted in his eyes. He was so excited that his Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon spirit activated on its own, causing blue-purple electric arcs to dance across his body.

"The captain has been selected!"

Beside him, Dugu Yan looked on with concern.

Yu Tianheng clenched his fists, lightning flickering on his body: "Don't worry! I am a direct descendant of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect. As for this mere mysterious land, as long as I don't encounter anything above a ten-thousand-year spirit beast, even if I can't defeat it, I will have no problem protecting myself!"

He was very confident.

As a level 39 assault-type Spirit Elder with a top-tier beast spirit, he was someone who could walk sideways among the younger generation.

He had never known defeat!

Although that so-called high-dimensional world sounded terrifying, he, Yu Tianheng, was no pushover!

[Selection complete. Transmission will begin in ten minutes.]

[All selected individuals are forbidden from revealing information about the Douluo Continent to the natives. Violators will be erased!]

The warning from the sky screen was cold and bone-chilling.

Ten minutes passed in a flash, leaving no time for any real preparation.

Under the gaze of countless eyes across the continent, three pillars of light descended from the sky, landing in three different locations on the continent and enveloping Wang Er, Su Yuntao, and Yu Tianheng.

The next moment, the three of them vanished into thin air.

At the same time, the three windows on the sky screen became perfectly clear.

The live broadcast had officially begun.

The people of the Douluo Continent hurriedly focused their attention, attempting to catch a glimpse of the true face of that mysterious world through the broadcast.

However, when the image appeared, everyone was stunned.

What appeared before them was not some ethereal God Realm, nor was it a primitive spirit beast forest, but a dilapidated ruin of steel and concrete!

Towering, broken buildings reached into the clouds, thick dark green vines snaked everywhere, the ground was cracked concrete, and massive, rusted metal shells lay scattered about.

A wild, desolate, and apocalyptic aura of slaughter directly impacted the minds of the people of Douluo.

"What are those square pillars reaching into the clouds? Are they all built of stone? They're too tall! How could they be built like that?"

"And what are those metal boxes on the ground?"

"Those vines look like plant-type spirit beasts, but they don't seem to have a high cultivation age. Didn't they say there were star-beasts billions of times more terrifying than hundred-thousand-year spirit beasts?"

County-Level City 0201, on the outskirts of the wilderness zone.

Yu Tianheng was teleported directly to this location.

The moment his feet touched the ground, Yu Tianheng instinctively grew vigilant, swiftly scanning his surroundings. Everything he saw consisted of bizarre, incomprehensible ruins of buildings, and he felt that the entire place was deeply unsettling.

The air here is breathable, but the gravity seems much stronger than on the Douluo Continent... My movements feel somewhat sluggish.

As a Power Attack System Spirit Master, Yu Tianheng tried to stretch his limbs, immediately beginning to assess how this abnormal gravity would impact his combat effectiveness.

Just then.

"Roar—"

Accompanied by heavy footsteps, a beast slowly emerged from the shadows of the ruins.

Yu Tianheng narrowed his eyes, sizing up this monster from another world.

It was massive, its entire body covered in coarse, black, steel-like bristles, with a giant horn protruding from its head. As its enormous frame stepped onto the cracked concrete, it left shallow pits with every stride.

It was none other than a low-level beast-soldier monster from the Swallowed Star world—a Single-Horned Wild Boar!

It belonged to the lowest tier of cannon-fodder monsters in the Swallowed Star world.

Yet, the violent aura radiating from this beast made the Spirit Masters across the entire Douluo Continent shudder, even through the screen.

As the one facing the Single-Horned Wild Boar directly, the pressure Yu Tianheng felt was far more intense than that experienced by the Spirit Masters watching the live broadcast.

He vigilantly activated his Spirit Avatar, his right arm transforming into a thick dragon claw wreathed in electric arcs.

Heaven Dou Empire, Shrek Academy.

The group, who had just been immersed in shock, could not help but worry for Yu Tianheng.

Although they were strangers to Yu Tianheng, he was, after all, a Spirit Master from their Douluo Continent; as people of the Douluo Continent, they shared a sense of collective honor.

"That monster looks pretty terrifying, but I can't sense any spirit power from it. I wonder what level of spirit beast it is?"

Ma Hongjun muttered in a low voice.

The words reached the ears of Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang. He pondered for a moment, hands clasped behind his back, staring intently at the Single-Horned Wild Boar on the light screen for a while before the corners of his mouth curled slightly upward.

"Everyone, there is no need to panic."

Yu Xiaogang's voice was steady, as if everything were under his control.

All eyes immediately focused on him.

Yu Xiaogang pointed at the light screen and spoke with confidence: "According to my years of core theoretical research, although this monster is massive, there are no signs of spirit power fluctuations on its body."

"In this world, the absence of spirit power means it can only rely on pure physical strength."

"A large size does indeed provide some strength advantage, but lacking spirit power to protect its body, its defense certainly cannot be very high. I estimate this is at most equivalent to an ordinary three-to-four-hundred-year-old spirit beast on our Douluo Continent."

Having said this, Yu Xiaogang glanced at Yu Tianheng, who was standing ready in the image.

"Yu Tianheng is a level 39 Power Attack System Spirit Grandmaster, possessing the top-tier beast spirit, Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon."

At this point, Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang paused slightly.

As someone born into the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, he was very clear about the power of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon spirit.

"The lightning unleashed by the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon spirit has extremely strong piercing and paralyzing effects. Against a clumsy beast like this without spirit power, he won't even need to use his third spirit skill..."

Yu Xiaogang held up three fingers and declared with certainty: "Three moves."

"At most three moves, and this monster will surely die at Yu Tianheng's hands!"

Hearing Yu Xiaogang's well-reasoned analysis, the members of Shrek nodded one after another, and Flender stroked the stubble on his chin, feeling slightly more at ease.
