All the students stared eagerly at the twisting sky-blue vortex, not daring to look away.
The teachers from the school also looked wistful. Unfortunately, most of them were only secondary school teachers.
Many of them had not qualified to enter the Planetary Space when they were young. Otherwise, they would not have ended up teaching at an ordinary secondary school.
Now, watching their students about to enter this land of opportunity, they all looked envious.
On the platform, Jia Nan stroked his goatee, his expression kindly.
Never mind these students—if each person could enter the Secret Realm Space's inheritance more than once, even he would have wanted to go in and seek another opportunity.
He said slowly, "That's right. This is an entrance to the Planetary Space."
"You may enter at any time now."
"But before that, I need to explain a few more things."
Everyone was stirred with excitement, but clearly, the lord warden still had instructions to give.
Jia Nan wasted no more words and continued, "First: today's time limit in the Planetary Space is five hours. You must find your own inheritance within those five hours."
"Once you obtain an inheritance, you will be transported back here in a very short time."
"There is no danger from Demon Beasts in the Planetary Space, but in the past, we discovered a few people who attacked their companions, stopping at nothing to obtain an inheritance."
"So, to prevent any accidents, we have equipped every student with an individual Detection Chip."
"These chips will record everything that happens to you in the Planetary Space."
As soon as he finished, many staff members came over and handed everyone a thin chip.
Somehow, the chips merged directly into their flesh, making some of them cry out involuntarily in fright!
"Don't worry. These things will detach automatically after you leave the Planetary Space. You'll be fine."
"I hope each of you will conscientiously seek your own opportunity. Otherwise, your shameful deeds will be exposed through the Detection Chips. The laws of our Yu Province are no joke."
Although Jia Nan spoke softly, everyone heard the warning in his words.
Qi Yuan's eyes flickered. Preventing them from killing one another is one reason, but exploring the Planetary Space is the main purpose, isn't it?
"Second: as is customary, after the Planetary Space closes, all the students of your cohort who came here will take part in a Martial Trial!"
Everyone's eyes lit up at the words "Martial Trial."
Students who performed well in the Martial Trial would receive special admission directly into the Nine Provinces Alliance's elite universities.
Some would even catch the eye of prominent families and become their sons-in-law or marry into wealthy households.
It was like a carp leaping through the Dragon Gate, completely changing their lives and their families' fortunes!
This was something everyone yearned for.
Jia Nan continued, "Everyone participating in the Martial Trial will receive rewards from our Yu Province, and those who place at the top will receive additional generous rewards!"
"These include, but are not limited to, ninjutsu of rank B or higher, Summoning Contracts, and Secret Techniques!"
"As for the specific rules, you will learn them after you leave the Planetary Space."
Everyone gasped again. Every one of these things was a rarity.
Among those from humble backgrounds, only people who contributed to the Nine Provinces Alliance had a chance of obtaining them.
And making contributions meant fighting Demon Beasts, which meant possible death!
"Holy shit, I'm going to make a name for myself in the Martial Trial!"
The boys and girls all clenched their fists tightly, filled with fighting spirit.
Jia Nan nodded gently, then chuckled again. "Third, if anyone used special means to raise their chakra affinity to fifty, please step forward now."
"Lying isn't good, children!"
He wore a smile, and his voice seemed filled with a magical power.
Qi Yuan felt the chakra in his body surge, and his mind filled with that voice.
He shuddered violently, then came to his senses.
Is this... is this genjutsu?
He abruptly looked toward the old man with the goatee, only to find that the man was also looking at him.
The old man's eyes were full of surprise.
That little girl from the Xu Family is one thing, but this little fellow broke free of my genjutsu so quickly?
Qi Yuan abruptly lowered his head and clenched his fists.
I must obtain the King's Legacy. This feeling of being controlled by someone else is terrible!
Given his enmity with the Yang Family, he might attract a great deal of attention in the future.
And when it came to ninjas, keeping secrets was a joke.
If he could not become powerful as soon as possible, he would definitely be dissected for research because of his identity as a transmigrator!
As the old man cast his genjutsu, several students soon stepped forward with dazed expressions.
The staff beside the old man quickly took them away.
The old man coughed loudly, and everyone seemed to awaken from a dream.
"You all did very well on the third matter. The final thing is a reminder: after entering the Planetary Space, you must keep your mental energy replenished!"
"Do not force yourselves into a level where you do not belong, or your minds will collapse and you will die!"
Jia Nan stopped abruptly, leaving everyone a little time to digest the information.
"Now, enter the Planetary Space one at a time. Remember to follow your instincts!"
Trembling, everyone cautiously walked into the sky-blue vortex, heading into an unknown world.
Whether intentionally or not, Zhou Hua actually ended up in line behind Qi Yuan.
Qi Yuan merely frowned and said nothing more.
As he passed through the sky-blue gateway, the world inside came into view before Qi Yuan.
It was a barren expanse, seemingly uninhabited.
Yet when they looked up, an enormous golden pagoda towered before them all.
While everyone was marveling at it, an explosive sound suddenly rang out.
Everyone jumped in fright.
"Die!"
Zhou Hua abruptly took out an ancient-looking scroll, his eyes filled with resolve!
A brilliant light flared, enveloping him and Qi Yuan.
"It was all your fault! My father died, and you dragged my entire family into it."
"Let's die together!"
Everything that had happened in the early hours of that morning flashed through his mind.
A stranger had broken into his home, then told him that his father was dead.
Then the stranger had tossed a scroll into his hands.
"Do this, and your mother and younger brother will live. Our Yang Family will also arrange a Secret Realm slot for your brother."
"Refuse, and this day next year will be the anniversary of your entire family's deaths!"
At the thought, Zhou Hua felt his mind nearly shatter with fear.
This kind of scroll did not inflict physical damage. Instead, it directly restrained and weakened a person's mind.
In the Planetary Space, weakening someone's mental energy too much would lower their chakra affinity.
Once it fell below fifty, the Planetary Space would immediately deem them unqualified.
The result was that their bodies would explode, killing them!
Zhou Tong howled in agony, but his gaze turned ahead.
Yet his eyes soon widened. After the white light flashed, there was no one there.
"How is that possible?"
