Daily life at Wuhan University is monotonous and dull.
Aside from attending classes, I spend all my time cultivating myself.
Unlike high school, martial arts training at Wuhan University is guided by professional teachers every day, so there's no need to worry about practicing blindly and going astray.
Every week, the school provides each student with two Qi-Gathering Pill for free, which is considered a perk of Wuhan University.
In addition, all basic martial arts techniques can be viewed for free.
Choose your cultivation methods selectively based on your own circumstances.
Intermediate and higher-level cultivation techniques require merit points to exchange for.
There are two ways to earn merit points.
First, their performance at school on a regular basis.
Such as the speed of cultivation improvement, exam scores, competition rankings...
Qin Ze, a rising star on campus, was awarded five merit points for his outstanding performance in the freshman welcome challenge.
He was the first among this year's freshmen to receive the Medal of Honor.
In contrast, the second way to earn merit is much simpler and more direct.
Go into the Abyss to kill strange beasts, or complete tasks assigned by the school.
According to the school's regulations, students can only descend into the Abyss after they have reached the Level Two Martial Artist.
Danger and opportunity coexist; one can often gain more merit points outside of school.
For this reason, juniors and seniors rarely stay on campus.
They either hone their skills in the Abyss or carry out various missions in the outside world.
Qin Ze currently a freshman in college.
There is one academic class every day.
You are free to cultivate at your leisure during the remaining time.
Wuhan University has a very relaxed management system for its students; they can do whatever they want and even leave the campus at will.
However, each student has a certain number of training quotas.
If the deadline is reached but the requirements are not met, a warning will be issued; a second offense will result in dismissal.
Just as Teacher Yao said in the opening class meeting.
Martial arts are not games; they involve experiencing life and death.
If freshman year is like a flower cultivated in a greenhouse, then starting from sophomore year, it's time to weather the storms.
In the morning, after finishing his cultural studies class, Qin Ze went straight to the Human-Fish Wharf.
The Flying Circus Man were already ready.
Accompanying them on this voyage were Brother Devour, Dharma King, and Giant Overlord.
After a full day of intensive study yesterday, the thirty-odd clones on the ship were finally able to get the ship off the dock.
The Dharma King glanced at the sun in the sky. "By the time we get to Thousand Streams Island, it will be noon, so we won't be able to explore for long."
Qin Ze said calmly, "Just open the Shelter Space."
Although it's wasteful, you can't catch a wolf without risking your cub.
If we can recover all the Source of the World of the Blue Flame Realm, what does the slight loss in the Shelter Space matter?
Are you all ready?
This flight is about to depart.
A man wearing a black hat, an eyepatch over his right eye, and a hook on his left glove approached the group with a grin.
Qin Ze smirked. "Are you cosplaying as a pirate?"
The clone puffed out its chest. "That's much more classy!"
Qin Ze waved his hand. "Let's get going."
"Okay!"
As the ship's horn sounded, the Flying Circus Man slowly departed the port.
They hadn't gone far when the bow of the boat suddenly rammed into the boat next to it, startling the other boat into blaring its horn frantically.
Just as they were about to collide, the Flying Circus Man braked suddenly and swung his head, narrowly missing them.
Qin Ze, who was nearly thrown off balance, was speechless.
"Can you drive it? If not, find someone else!"
The sailors' and Captain's complaints immediately filled the Local Area Network.
"Am I pretty? Do you think sailing a boat is a simple thing?"
"Exactly, if you're so good, you do it."
"It's already a miracle that these old men can even get the boat moving; they're just picking and choosing what they can get."
"I've been studying my textbooks all day; you have to trust my technical skills and knowledge."
What books are you reading?
"On Speedboat Interception and Ship Boarding "
"What a coincidence! I was reading 'How to Quickly Switch Sides in Various Circumstances'."
"..."
Qin Ze now doubted whether the ship could successfully reach Thousand Streams Island.
While the Flying Circus Man slowly sailed across the sea, Qin Ze began studying the Blue Flame Realm map that the previous Captain had generously gifted to the Dharma King.
There are more than fifty annotations of various sizes above.
Farmland, houses, towers, dried-up lakes...
These are powerful proofs that life once existed on this world.
Moreover, they are a civilized and orderly race.
"Do we still need to go to these places?" Brother Devour asked.
Qin Ze shook his head. "I don't know how many groups of people have looted it, especially those places near the entrance; they've left us with almost nothing."
"Go directly to the place the Captain mentioned."
Even if they aren't the first to try something new, the new building complex located far from the entrance will surely yield some benefits.
This distance requires special navigation Martial Artifact, and such Martial Artifact is not something just anyone can have.
After a bumpy morning of sailing, the Flying Circus Man finally docked at the port of Thousand Streams Island around noon.
Aside from three groundings, two deviations from course, and four near-capsizing incidents, the voyage was generally very smooth.
The sailors were somewhat disappointed.
We didn't encounter any pirates or other attacks on the ship.
Their techniques for intercepting logins and bypassing security have not been proven in practice.
Leaving behind a group of sailors to repair the battered Flying Circus Man, Qin Ze led Brother Devour straight to the Otherworld.
In another hour, the Blue Flame Realm will be ablaze.
The ticket inspector at the entrance looked at Qin Ze with a surprised expression.
However, he didn't say anything to remind him.
They stamped Qin Ze's ticket and let him in.
After passing through the portal, a sky full of yellow sand came into view.
The three Dharma King who were attached to Qin Ze jumped down.
"That bastard at the door didn't utter a single word," the Dharma King said angrily.
Brother Devour said calmly, "You already called him a dog, He Bi bother arguing with a dog?"
Qin Ze looked around; the place was lifeless and devoid of any vitality.
"Give me the binoculars."
The Dharma King tossed the gift from the previous Captain to Qin Ze.
Qin Ze channeled his vital energy into the telescope, rapidly bringing distant scenes closer, allowing him to zoom in and out at will.
Following the Captain's directions, Qin Ze quickly spotted the cluster of buildings.
There are six buildings of varying sizes exposed, the tallest of which appears to be a tower.
The spire is dilapidated, with only one-third remaining.
The remaining five buildings are all square, and their edges and corners are also worn.
Qin Ze put away his binoculars. "That's it, let's go."
Just as the group was about to set off, three martial artists suddenly flew in from the opposite direction at high speed.
The three of them sat on a red blanket and soon stopped at the exit.
Upon landing, the leader waved his hand, and the blanket automatically folded up, tying itself behind him like a cape.
This group of people had a very fruitful haul, carrying quite a few bags and packages.
"Is this your first time here?" The leader, with a mustache, looked Qin Ze and his companions up and down.
Qin Ze nodded. "I came here for tourism. I heard there's a world of alien races, so I came in out of curiosity to take a look."
The man with the mustache pointed into the distance. "In half an hour, the fire will start burning from over there, and the whole world will be ablaze. Get out of here quickly."
Qin Ze smiled and said, "Thanks for the reminder, brother. We'll just wander around here."
The man with the mustache sighed and left with his men.
You can't reason with a damned devil; he's already done everything he could.
Qin Ze was enveloped in lightning.
With a "whoosh," it transformed into lightning and sped along the ground towards the buildings.
The three Brother Devour followed closely behind.
