Another day passed.
This time, instead of the training ground, everyone sat in a lecture hall.
"Is this going to teach us theory?" Cao Mingyu looked around the classroom.
"Unsure!" Shen Heng looked at the classroom with a similar sense of doubt.
They already have Yan Yu teaching some theory, so logically they shouldn't be assigning another instructor to teach theory.
But if it's not about teaching theory, then why make them wait in the classroom?
The others, like Shen Heng and his group, whispered among themselves, somewhat puzzled.
Not long after, a figure walked in from the doorway.
He was a man in his early thirties, with medium-length hair casually tied back. His dark eyes seemed veiled by a thin mist, making it impossible to discern his emotions.
He walked onto the stage and looked at the crowd.
Inside the classroom, everyone fell silent upon the arrival of the instructor.
"My name is Zhang Chenguang, and I'm here to teach you practical combat against the Calamity Beast." His slightly deep voice echoed in the classroom.
Everyone was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, and looked at Zhang Chenguang with some confusion.
The same applies to Shen Heng.
Professor and the Calamity Beast in actual combat?
How to teach it?
Does the ability allow one to transform into Calamity Beast?
Or is it that headquarters captures some live Calamity Beast and keeps them for them to practice on?
As if suddenly remembering something, Shen Heng couldn't help but frown.
If I were to directly fight the Calamity Beast, I would probably have a hard time obtaining access to the advanced Origin Power chamber.
"Well, I'll do my best..." Shen Heng sighed inwardly, turning his gaze back to the instructor above him.
The instructor looked around at everyone from above.
"Go there and do your best to kill the Calamity Beast!"
Shen Heng blinked, seemingly not having heard that strange remark from before.
Where to kill the Calamity Beast?
Where to?
Before he could process any further thoughts, a series of 'bang bang' sounds rang out.
Shen Heng felt dizzy, and the world in front of him seemed to spin.
He forced himself to look at the others, only to see them either leaning back in their chairs or slumped over the tables.
This is?
Shen Heng looked at the instructor in front of him with some confusion.
He opened his mouth as if to say something, but his brain seemed to have stopped working, and no words of inquiry came through.
He could only stare blankly as darkness gradually enveloped his surroundings.
Zhang Chenguang turned his head and looked around, his gaze finally settling on a figure.
The figure swayed, glanced left and right, then looked at himself, before finally collapsing to the ground.
"It actually lasted for two seconds..." Zhang Chenguang muttered.
He walked to the seat on the podium, sat down, then bowed his head slightly and gently closed his eyes.
"Snort..."
Shen Heng groaned, then slowly opened his eyes.
What came into view was a somewhat yellowed and dilapidated ceiling.
"This is?"
Shen Heng propped his head up with his hand and sat up in bed, feeling a headache coming on.
He glanced around the room briefly; there was a wooden bed without even a blanket, a wardrobe next to it, and nothing else.
This is... another time travel?
Shen Heng frowned as he recalled the memories in his mind.
The last image in my mind seemed to be the moment I made eye contact with Zhang Chenguang, before he said something like, "Go there and do your best to kill the Calamity Beast!"
"Is this the place the drill instructor was talking about?"
"But where is this?"
"And how did he get us here?"
"Teleportation abilities or..."
As if realizing something, Shen Heng suddenly raised his hand and looked at his palm.
"Hmm, the palm lines are unclear, so this doesn't seem to be the real world! But..."
Shen Heng raised his hand and pinched himself, and he could actually feel pain.
"A mental ability..." Shen Heng murmured softly.
This was the first time he had encountered a mental ability... no, if you remove the memory-blurring spray.
Shen Heng got up and walked to the window.
It seemed to be the time between dawn and dusk, and the blood-red moonlight shone on the tall buildings.
The once towering skyscrapers now lie helplessly in disarray, Distortion steel bars protruding from the concrete like gnawed skeletons.
Rusty cars were piled up haphazardly in the middle of the road. The street was deserted, with only the distant roars of unknown animals able to be heard.
This is a city in ruins.
Looking at the scene before him, Shen Heng couldn't help but murmur to himself:
"It looks somewhat realistic..."
His gaze moved upwards.
Above, a blood moon hung high in the sky.
The crimson hue, like a thin veil, poured down, spreading evenly across the city.
Beside it, there was a light screen.
The screen displays...
1. Xiao Xiangtong's kill count: 0
2. Wu Hongxuan's kill count: 0
This is a bit unrealistic... Shen Heng thought to himself.
He composed himself and walked towards the door, using his abilities to probe his surroundings as he went.
Shen Heng paused the moment his hand touched the doorknob.
The sounds of paws hitting the ground, panting, and banging on doors echoed in my ears, the direction of the sounds was...
Shen Heng slightly turned his head to look at the lower right.
Is it about two floors below, and then about twenty or thirty meters away?
Then the quantity is...
Shen Heng listened intently.
One, two, three... six?
Shen Heng thought for a moment, then carefully pressed the doorknob and pushed the door open.
Outside the door was a long corridor, about seventy or eighty meters long, with rooms on both sides.
Like the ruins of the city outside, the corridor was also dilapidated.
However, this was not what Shen Heng cared about. His gaze searched the corridor and finally settled on the middle.
Is there only one staircase?
Shen Heng frowned and slowly closed the door.
With six Calamity Beast of unknown rank, it was clear he couldn't simply charge into them.
If it's someone who hasn't reached the next level or is only at the First Tier, then it's manageable; he should still be able to put up a fight.
But if it's Second Tier Calamity Beast, then charging in alone is no different from suicide.
In other words, in this situation, the priority should definitely be how to get there.
But after listening, I realized that there were always Calamity Beast guarding that spot on the stairs, and it was obvious that I couldn't avoid them if I went up the stairs.
Then, if he jumps off the building, Shen Heng just saw it from the window.
Although I don't know roughly which floor it's on, it's about fifty or sixty meters above the ground.
There's no possibility of them jumping directly down!
So, all we can do is wait inside and see if they achieve their goal and leave?
Thinking of this, Shen Heng couldn't help but complain in his heart.
Damn it, doesn't this lousy simulator have a spawn point protection mechanism?
I woke up to find six Calamity Beast downstairs. How do I fight them?
