"What? Kill those monsters? Those things are far more terrifying than demonic beasts. And they're so intelligent!"
"We have no idea what's behind that door."
People have always been filled with fear of the unknown.
Even these geniuses among geniuses are no exception.
Of course, there are also some naturally bold and adventurous individuals.
Look! Jiang Fan's face is almost bursting with excitement.
Of course, he wasn't the kind of person who was naturally daring and adventurous.
It's simply because I finally have a chance to earn more points!
Just before, when Ye Qizhen was showing off to him, he was worried about how to quickly earn points and try to leave Ye Qizhen far behind.
As luck would have it, a perfect opportunity came his way; heaven was truly kind to him!
Ye Qizhen was right next to Jiang Fan and clearly saw the changes in Jiang Fan's face.
His excited and thrilled expression was quite familiar to him.
That's exactly the abnormal reaction Jiang Fan had when he killed the demon beast.
But we're not going to kill monsters right now, so why is this guy still reacting like this?
Could it be that Jiang Fan not only has a penchant for killing demons, but also for killing Ruins Species?
Lu Chengjun was still speaking on stage.
"Quiet down, everyone. I'm planning to form a small team of ten people. We'll meet at the nearest Gate No. D045, in three days."
"Principal, where is Gate No. D045?" a student asked, raising their hand.
"It's located on the edge of our Fortress No. 1. After we disband, I'll send you a map with the coordinates of the 77 doors. You can take a look at it first," Lu Chengjun said.
After he finished speaking, someone else raised their hand.
"What do you know about the Ruins Species, Principal?"
Lu Chengjun: "I was just about to say that. As the level of the Ruins Species increases, their resemblance to humans will become more pronounced, but they also share similarities with demonic beasts. For example, Blood Crystal."
"Each Ruins Species Seed contains Blood Crystal, which are invaluable treasures for us Martial Artist. Absorbing them not only rapidly enhances our blood and qi, increasing our strength—making them invaluable natural treasures—but also replenishes our blood and qi during and after battles. In other words, they're like portable power banks."
These words caused the entire audience to erupt in excitement.
The initial fear subsided considerably in an instant.
I'm eager to experience the effects of Blood Crystal right away.
Of those present, only Jiang Fan remained relatively calm.
After all, he had already experienced it. For him, a system overpowered individual, although Blood Crystal could not enhance his strength, they could replenish his qi and blood.
He imagined what it would be like if he had a pile of Blood Crystal, and then kept hunting down Ruins Species or demonic beasts, replenishing his blood and energy with the Blood Crystal as he killed. Wouldn't he be able to hunt forever?
Unfortunately, the space ring the Crazy Old Man gave him only had 10 cubic meters, which wasn't enough to hold many Blood Crystal.
Jiang Fan only thought these words to himself. If others heard them, they would be speechless for a long time, even if they didn't vomit blood.
"I hope everyone will sign up voluntarily. Although there is danger, danger is accompanied by opportunity, especially such a tremendous opportunity."
As Lu Chengjun spoke, his gaze swept across the crowd below the stage.
Some were fearful, some hesitated, and a very small number were filled with enthusiasm and eager to try.
But when his gaze fell on Jiang Fan's face, his face radiating an almost perverse, undisguised extreme excitement made his beard twitch.
As expected, Jiang Fan raised his hand.
I'm signing up.
As soon as he finished speaking, Lan Shengxue, Ye Qizhen, and Wang Yao all raised their hands.
Lu Chengjun spoke again, "I forgot to mention a very important point. The energy is not yet very stable since the gate opened this time, so only Martial Artist below the Third Rank are allowed to enter."
Depend on!
Jiang Fan didn't care whether Lu Chengjun was the principal or not; he just rolled his eyes first.
Why didn't you say so earlier? You made him get all excited for nothing.
Because Jiang Fan made no attempt to hide his eye roll, Lu Chengjun noticed it immediately.
This kid is getting bolder and bolder; he actually dared to roll his eyes at him, the principal.
Little did they know, Jiang Fan not only rolled his eyes, but if he hadn't been unable to beat Lu Chengjun, he would have definitely given him a beating.
"I haven't finished speaking. Although the energy of the gate is not yet very stable, Martial Artist can suppress their strength to below the Third Rank. However, the higher the strength of the Martial Artist, the stronger the suppression from the spatial rules will be after entering the gate. For example— Late-Stage Fourth-Rank Martial Artist."
Everyone could tell from Lu Chengjun's example that he was using Jiang Fan as an example.
" Late-Stage Fourth-Rank Martial Artist, suppressed to the High-Stage Third Rank, will find their strength far below their usual level due to the spatial rules within the gate. In other words, even if they are suppressed to the High-Stage Third Rank, they might only be able to perform at the Middle-Stage Third Rank, or even the Early-Stage Third Rank, or even the Late-Stage Second Rank. Incidentally, the suppression experienced by Fifth Rank- and Sixth Rank martial artists will be even more terrifying, and at the Seventh Rank or Eighth Rank, even free movement will be difficult."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Fan frowned slightly in thought.
Although he can achieve the feat of leaping through realms to kill enemies, if he is unlucky and gets suppressed to the Late-Stage Second Rank, he will still be at a great disadvantage.
His main concern was that he didn't know what was inside the door; what if he encountered someone capable of leaping through realms to kill enemies?
Wait a minute, he's Spirit Master! I wonder if his Psychic Power will be suppressed?
But it's not a question he can easily ask.
Thinking of this, he turned his head to look at Ye Qizhen.
With just a glance, Ye Qizhen understood and nodded at him, then raised her hand.
" Principal Lu, will Spirit Master be suppressed if they enter?"
"This—" Lu Chengjun frowned, "Mainly because no Spirit Master has ever gone in, so we really don't know."
Ye Qizhen nudged Jiang Fan with her elbow, " Old Jiang, I think you shouldn't go in. Principal Lu said that the higher the strength, the stronger the suppression. Your strength at the Late-Stage Fourth Rank far surpasses that of your peers, so they might suppress you to the Late-Stage Second Rank, or even the Early-Stage Second Rank."
Jiang Fan rolled his eyes. "Are you cursing me?"
"I'm not cursing you, I'm praising you. I'm praising your strength as unmatched among those of the same level. Not to mention those of the same level, even those a level higher than you are mostly no match for you," Ye Qizhen said.
Lan Shengxue also advised, "I think Ye Qizhen makes sense. Don't worry, once we get the Blood Crystal, I'll share some with you. Besides, Principal Lu also mentioned that the energy of the door is not yet stable. Although it's not suitable for you to go in now, I believe you can go in after a while."
Wang Yao also wanted to go in, but given her condition, it was unlikely she would be able to.
But it doesn't matter. If she can't get in, other members of the Wang Family can.
Thinking of this, Wang Yao smiled and looked at Jiang Fan, saying, "I will have my family members work hard to get all the Blood Crystal they can, and you can go in later."
