The Flying Boat streaked across the sky like a beam of light.
A dozen minutes later.
Five large Flying Boats descended together and reached an island.
Students from every year disembarked. Cultivators who had been waiting there called out their names and assigned them straight to teams.
Everything was orderly and moved quickly.
As soon as a team had ten members, it received its mission and set off for a position around the Ruins.
Zhang Pengcheng was the first to part ways with the others. He joined a team, and they set off at once.
The Longxi Three Heroes were split up too. Each joined a different team and left.
Of course, the students could not go straight into the Ruins.
That would be sending them to their deaths.
Their first-stage mission was to explore the entire island—
Scattered fragments lay outside the Ruins too. Some were useful; others were not.
All of them had to be collected and identified, one by one.
And that was not all.
All kinds of strange beings lived in the Mist Sea. They had bred here for countless epochs.
Before entering the Ruins, the students also had to observe and learn about them, becoming more familiar with the island's environment.
The best students would then be selected to join the Ruins Exploration Team.
At that moment.
After dropping everyone off, the giant Flying Boats shot up into Heaven and flew the way they had come.
—Many more students were waiting at the school.
The Flying Boats were gone.
Almost all the students had been assigned.
Only then was Xu Yuan's name called.
Xu Yuan, Lu Yiyi, and eight Royal Guards formed a team.
They flew together for several minutes before reaching the entrance to the Ruins.
"Hey, hey! Where are you?"
Zhang Pengcheng's voice
