Just as everyone on Douluo Continent remained in shock and various factions reacted quickly to make arrangements, the Sky Screen underwent new changes once again.
I saw the light of the Sky Screen flare brightly, and line after line of text gradually emerged.
[Selection of the first batch of explorers begins, three slots will be randomly chosen this time.]
[Countdown preparing!]
[Ten, nine, eight...]
Seeing the countdown, people across the entire continent couldn't help holding their breath.
The countdown hit zero.
Three independent small screens instantly split on the Sky Screen, and three names lit up alongside the blurry silhouettes of figures.
[Commoner of the Heaven Dou Empire, Wang Er!]
The first person chosen was an old farmer with a stubbly face who was still holding a hoe.
Seeing this result, quite a few Soul Masters breathed a sigh of relief.
Everyone knew that the unknown came with immense risks.
This mysterious world sounded like it possessed heaven-defying fortunes, but the danger level of a place capable of breeding such terrifying behemoths was definitely far beyond the deepest part of the Star Dou Great Forest.
Even though the fortune was good, one still needed to be alive to enjoy it!
Immediately after, the second screen lit up.
[Spirit Hall Notting City Deacon, twenty-sixth-rank Soul Grandmaster, Su Yuntao!]
Inside the Spirit Hall branch.
Su Yuntao, who was just preparing to go to the next village to help children awaken their martial souls, was completely dumbfounded.
He blankly pointed at the light screen in the sky, looking at the exact same silhouette of himself on it. He trembled all over, unsure whether it was from excitement or fear, and his legs turned to jelly, almost causing him to collapse to the ground.
Me? I was chosen?
He was merely a lowest-rank deacon of Spirit Hall. His usual tasks consisted of helping children awaken their martial souls, and not even the task of capturing low-rank Soul Beasts ever fell to him, a twenty-sixth-rank Soul Grandmaster.
Yet now, exploring a high-dimensional world?!
Before Su Yuntao could react, the third name was announced as well.
[Heaven Dou Royal Academy, thirty-ninth-rank Soul Elder, Yu Tianheng!]
Heaven Dou Royal Academy training ground.
Yu Tianheng was first taken aback, and then a strong fighting intent burst from his eyes. Driven by his excitement, his Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial soul activated on its own, wrapping him in some blue-purple electric arcs.
"The captain has been chosen!"
Beside him, Dugu Yan looked somewhat worried.
Yu Tianheng, however, clenched his fists as lightning flickered across his body. "No need to worry! I am a direct descendant of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. As for a mere mysterious place, as long as I don't encounter a ten-thousand-year soul beast or higher, even if I can't beat it, ensuring my own survival will be absolute no problem!"
He was very confident.
As a thirty-ninth-rank offense-system battle soul elder with a top-tier beast martial soul, he was someone who could walk almost sideways among the younger generation.
Undefeated!
That so-called high-dimensional world might sound terrifying, but he, Yu Tianheng, was no pushover either!
[Selection complete, teleportation will begin in ten minutes.]
[All chosen individuals are prohibited from leaking information regarding Douluo Continent to the aborigines, violators will be obliterated!]
The warning voice from the Sky Screen was bone-chillingly cold.
Ten minutes passed in the blink of an eye, leaving not even enough time to make any preparations.
Under the gaze of countless eyes across the entire continent, three beams of light descended from the Sky Screen, landing in three locations on the continent and enveloping Wang Er, Su Yuntao, and Yu Tianheng.
The next moment, the three of them vanished from the spot out of thin air.
At the same time, the three screens on the Sky Screen also became completely clear.
The live broadcast officially began.
The people of Douluo Continent hurriedly concentrated their gazes, attempting to catch a glimpse of the true face of that mysterious world through the Sky Screen broadcast.
However, when the scenes were presented, everyone froze.
Appearing before their eyes was not some celestial God Realm, nor was it a primitive soul beast forest, but rather a dilapidated ruin of steel and concrete!
Towering ruined buildings scraping the sky, thick dark-green vines, cracked concrete ground, and huge rusted iron shells everywhere.
A wild, desolate, and apocalyptic atmosphere of stern bleakness directly impacted the minds of the Douluo people.
"What are those square pillars towering into the clouds? Are they all built of stone? Way too tall! How was this even built?"
"And what are those iron boxes on the ground?"
"Those vines look like plant soul beasts, but their ages don't seem that high either. Weren't there supposed to be Starry Sky Behemoths a hundred million times more terrifying than a hundred-thousand-year soul beast?"
County-Level City 0201, the periphery of the Wilderness Zone.
Yu Tianheng was teleported right here.
The moment he landed, Yu Tianheng instinctively grew vigilant, rapidly scanning his surrounding environment. Everything that entered his view consisted of bizarre architectural ruins that he couldn't understand, and he felt that everywhere was extremely strange.
"The air here is breathable, but the gravity seems much greater than on Douluo Continent... My movements have become somewhat sluggish."
As an offense-system battle soul master, Yu Tianheng tried stretching his limbs, immediately beginning to evaluate the impact of this abnormal gravity on his combat power.
Right at that moment.
Roar—
Accompanied by heavy footsteps, a wild beast slowly walked out from the shadows of the ruins.
Yu Tianheng narrowed his eyes, sizing up this otherworldly monster.
It possessed a massive physique, its entire body covered in black steel-needle-like coarse hair, and a huge single horn grew atop its head. Its colossal body stepped onto the cracked concrete ground, leaving several shallow pits with sheer brute force.
It was precisely a Junior Beast Soldier Level monster from the Swallowed Star world—the Single-Horned Wild Boar!
It belonged to the lowest-tier cannon fodder monsters in the Swallowed Star world.
However, the berserk aura emanating from this monster caused Soul Masters across the entire Douluo Continent, separated by the screen, to feel a trace of creeping chill.
As the person facing the Single-Horned Wild Boar directly, Yu Tianheng felt a much more intense sense of oppression than the Douluo Soul Masters watching through the live broadcast screen.
He vigilantly underwent Martial Soul Possession, his right arm transforming into a thick dragon claw wreathed in electric light.
Heaven Dou Empire, Shrek Academy.
The group who had just been immersed in shock could not help but worry for Yu Tianheng at this moment.
Although they were unacquainted with Yu Tianheng, he was, after all, a Soul Master of their Douluo Continent; as people of Douluo Continent, they shared in the glory.
"This monster looks quite terrifying, but I can't sense any soul power from it, and I have no idea what rank of soul beast it is?"
Ma Hongjun muttered quietly.
His voice reached the ears of Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang. The latter pondered for a moment, placing his hands behind his back, and stared closely at the Single-Horned Wild Boar on the light screen for a while before the corners of his mouth hooked upward slightly.
"Everyone, there's no need to panic."
Yu Xiaogang's voice was very steady, as if everything was completely under control.
Everyone's gazes instantly concentrated on him.
Yu Xiaogang pointed at the light screen and spoke eloquently, "According to my years of core theoretical research, although this monster is massive in size, there are no signs of any soul power fluctuations on its body."
"In this world, the absence of soul power means it can only rely entirely on pure physical strength."
"A large size does indeed bring some strength advantages, but lacking soul power protection, its defense definitely cannot be very high. In my view, this at most equates to an ordinary soul beast of three to four hundred years on our Douluo Continent."
Saying this, Yu Xiaogang glanced at Yu Tianheng, who stood ready in the image.
"Yu Tianheng is a thirty-ninth-rank offense-system battle soul elder, and possesses the top-tier beast martial soul, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon."
At this point, Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang paused slightly.
As a disciple originating from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, he was extremely clear about the might of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial soul.
"The lightning stimulated by the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial soul possesses extremely strong piercing and paralyzing effects. To fight such a bulky beast without soul power, there's no need to even unleash the third soul skill..."
Yu Xiaogang raised three fingers, saying with absolute certainty, "Three moves."
"At most three moves, and this monster will inevitably die at Yu Tianheng's hands!"
Hearing Yu Xiaogang's well-reasoned and evidence-backed analysis, the Shrek members nodded one after another, and Flender also stroked his stubbly chin, setting his mind slightly at ease.
