In the Virtual Pod access room on the underground floor, a silver-gray top-of-the-line virtual cabin stands quietly.
The hatch slid open, and Xu Wuyi lay down in it. The internal ergonomic support structure automatically adjusted to suit his body shape.
With a slight buzzing and a subtle touch of nerve connections, the scene in front of him changed, and he was now in the familiar Star Martial Battle Net personal space.
Compared with the entry-level Virtual Pod used before, the environment here is more realistic. The subtle touch of air flow and the feedback from the ground under your feet are almost the same as in reality.
85% realism, well-deserved.
"It has been detected that the user has logged in for the first time and basic body data scanning is in progress----" The system prompt sounded in my mind.
An invisible ripple swept across his body, and a few seconds later, the data panel unfolded in front of his eyes:
[Life Energy Level:16.1]
[Mental strength: 13.0]
Looking at these two values, Xu Wuyi's eyes moved slightly.
Life Energy Level has risen from level 15.5 to level 16.1 in College Entrance Examination, and his training during this period has not fallen behind.
Mental strength has also increased steadily, reaching level 13, which is considered a medium level.
"Enter Freshman Challenge"."Xu Wuyi thought in his mind.
A silver-gray icon appeared in his field of vision. He confirmed that he had entered, and the surrounding environment was instantly distorted and reorganized.
When he regained consciousness again, he was already in a vast virtual space.
This place is not like the real world. The sky is a deep dark purple, dotted with sparse silver light spots.
There is solid black ground under your feet, and the touch is very similar to real rocks.
Not far away, stands a huge light gate, with four large gilt characters suspended above the light gate - Star Beast Hunting Ground.
To the left of the light door, a huge holographic light screen is suspended in the air, with the words "Freshman Challenge Leaderboard" clearly displayed on it.
Xu Wuyi glanced around and saw that the ranking columns on the ranking list were all blank, without any names or data.
He was not surprised.
The admission notice was only officially issued yesterday. Most freshmen will choose to rest at home for a while and wait until the end of July or early August to report to school.
There are probably very few people like him who come to check in so far in advance.
"Since there is no one, let's test the water first."
Xu Wuyi moved his hands and feet, and the touch of the virtual body was almost the same as that of reality. The flow of Blood and Qi was equally smooth.
He could clearly feel that this virtual body almost perfectly replicated everything in his reality, including the burning Blood and Qi brought about by <Hundred Refinements Furnace>.
He stepped towards the light door. The moment his body came into contact with the light door, a soft force enveloped him, and the scene in front of him changed instantly.
The next second, he was already in a dense forest.
The towering ancient trees block out the sky and the sun. Tree Trunk is so thick that it needs several people to hug it. Sporadic light shines through the branches and leaves, casting mottled light and shadow on the ground.
The air was filled with a rich smell of vegetation, mixed with a faint smell of fishy smell, and the chirping of unknown insects came to my ears. Everything was so real that it felt like I was actually there.
"Fighting in this kind of environment?" Xu Wuyi was a little surprised.
Fighting in the forest is obviously different from an empty arena. If you don't have relevant experience, it will test the challenger's adaptability.
"Welcome to the first level of Star Beast Hunting Ground, challenge target: Star-Spotted Wolf (3 heads)."
"Passthrough conditions: Kill all Star-Spotted Wolf within ten minutes. Failure conditions: Failure to complete the kill within the timeout, or death."
"The challenger for this level, Life Energy Level, is fixed at level 13."
The system prompt sounded in my mind.
As soon as he finished speaking, three low wolf howls came from the depths of the forest, with bloodthirsty ferocity in their voices.
Xu Wuyi's eyes were focused, he quickly adjusted his standing posture, held his hands in empty hands, and Blood and Qi was running quietly in his body.
He does not carry real weapons, but in Star Martial Battle Net, he can directly condense virtual weapons.
Xu Wuyi thought, and a virtual Long Spear appeared in his hand. The gun body glowed with a faint silver light, and its weight and texture were the same as the real Long Spear.
Soon, three gray-black figures emerged from the dense forest, none other than Star-Spotted Wolf.
They are much larger than real wolves, with a shoulder height of nearly one meter, and their fur is covered with irregular silver spots, which shines with a strange luster in dim light.
The sharp fangs are exposed, a pair of scarlet eyes are locked on Xu Wuyi, the limbs are slightly bent, and the posture is ready to pounce at any time.
This was the first time that Xu Wuyi faced Star Beast. The completely different aura from human Martial Artist made him tense up subconsciously.
Star-Spotted Wolf has never practiced any martial arts, but every move they make is full of fatal threats. It is the instinct accumulated from countless life and death fights.
"Roar!"
The leader, Star-Spotted Wolf, took the lead in attacking, exerting all his strength on his limbs, and his body pounced on Xu Wuyi like an arrow from a string.
The open bloody mouth bit his neck, bringing with it a fishy wind.
Xu Wuyi's pupils shrunk, and while he turned sideways to avoid the attack, he stabbed out Long Spear in his hand, pointing directly at Star-Spotted Wolf's abdomen.
He was used to fighting against the human Martial Artist. The opponent's moves were well-known, but Star-Spotted Wolf's attacks were based entirely on instinct, and were faster than expected.
"Pfft!"
Long Spear stabbed the target, but only penetrated less than half an inch. Star-Spotted Wolf's tough fur and thick muscles blocked most of the force.
The severe pain made Star-Spotted Wolf let out a shrill howl, his body twisted in the air, and his sharp claws grabbed Xu Wuyi's arm.
Xu Wuyi drew his gun and retreated, avoiding the claws while frowning slightly.
Star-Spotted Wolf's defense was stronger than he expected, and his skin was rough and fleshy, making it difficult for ordinary attacks to cause fatal damage.
More importantly, their attacks were haphazard and completely unreasonable, making it difficult for him to adapt to them.
Seeing this, the other two Star-Spotted Wolf launched attacks at the same time, one on the left and one on the right, forming a pincer attack.
Their cooperation is extremely tacit, and they are obviously a habit developed from years of group hunting.
Xu Wuyi took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
He no longer tried to find the attack pattern of Star-Spotted Wolf, but instead operated <Hundred Refinements Furnace> to the extreme. The burning Blood and Qi surged through his body, and his strength and speed increased instantly.
At the same time, he integrated the true meaning of "mountain" into himself, and his mind was as stable as a rock, unmoved by the ferocious aura of Star-Spotted Wolf.
Facing Star-Spotted Wolf coming from the left, Xu Wuyi advanced instead of retreating, spreading out <Instant Shadow Steps> under its feet.
The figure flashed sideways like a ghost, and at the same time Long Spear swept across, and the gun barrel hit Star-Spotted Wolf's head with the sound of howling wind.
"Bang!"
There was a muffled sound, and Star-Spotted Wolf was hit so hard that he felt dizzy and lost his balance.
Xu Wuyi seized the opportunity and Long Spear thrust out like lightning. This time he aimed at Star-Spotted Wolf's eyes, which were the weakest defense points.
"Pfft!"
The tip of the gun accurately penetrated Star-Spotted Wolf's left eye and penetrated deep into his brain.
Star-Spotted Wolf let out a short wail, twitched his body a few times, then fell to the ground and stopped moving, turning into a white light and dissipating in the air.
After one is eliminated, the remaining two become more violent and their attacks become even crazier.
Xu Wuyi relied on his physical fitness that was far superior to the same level, and he was able to withstand the siege of Star-Spotted Wolf from both sides.
He no longer pursues quick kills, but patiently looks for flaws. Every attack is precise and ruthless, targeting Star-Spotted Wolf's key points.
Before the ten minutes were over, the last Star-Spotted Wolf also fell under his gun and turned into white light and disappeared.
"It took 4 minutes and 27 seconds to clear the first level. Do you want to enter the second level?"
