Chapter 973 - 872: What a Coincidence
Duan Gujin felt restless. He believed he still lacked a chance for real combat; only through genuine battle could he fully unleash his potential.Ten days later, the elders of Ascension Academy gathered everyone to deliver a message to the disciples.
"Everyone, today I must tell you something very important. Today marks the first real test. Your task today is to eliminate the otherworldly beings trapped in the Small World by us. Being trapped does not mean they will immediately die; you have to personally enter the Small World to eliminate them! Rest assured, the cultivation of these otherworldly beings trapped in the Small World is merely at the Martial Saint Realm. Although they are suppressed, their strength can still reach the Sixth Level Martial Saint when inside. Once inside, you must defeat the demons within the Small World. Each of you will take Elixir Pills, Recording Name Plates, and Teleportation Plates issued by the Divine World, and enter the Small World to kill those otherworldly beings! This test score is the real test score, and Ascension Academy will conduct three real combat tests; today's test is the first real one. Once inside, you may form alliances or go solo, but remember this: you must not kill your fellow disciples inside! If you do, the consequences will be your cultivation being abolished, and you will be expelled from Ascension Academy!"
After hearing this news, many disciples of Ascension Academy exclaimed.
They had heard the name Otherworld before, and only knew that the beings from there were very powerful.
The Otherworld differs from the Demon Realm, where the Demon Clan is affected by the Rule Power and unlikely to invade the thirty thousand Small Planes, nor attack the Divine World or the Immortal Domain.
However, the beings from the Otherworld are different; they are unaffected by Rule Power and can fully unleash their Combat Power in any Plane.
This is why the living creatures from the Otherworld are a common threat to the thirty thousand Small Planes, the Divine World, and the Immortal Domain.
Previously, the elders of Ascension Academy had explained to everyone about the otherworldly beings, and they only then realized how much more formidable they were than the Demon Clan, and importantly, they are unaffected by Rule Power.
Today, they would face the real otherworldly beings, making everyone feel nervous yet somewhat expectant.
Moments later, everyone received Elixir Pills, Dark Weapons, Recording Name Plates, and Teleportation Plates.
The elders then led everyone into the Teleportation Array.
The elders activated the Teleportation Array and transported everyone out.
Duan Gujin didn't know how much time had passed. Once the surrounding Transmission Energy dissipated, he opened his eyes and used his Divine Sense to scan the surroundings.
Soon, he realized he had been transported to a Small World.
The so-called Small World is an independent space created by experts of the Divine World.
Generally, experts of the Divine World can seal some enemies in a Small World, but it can only trap enemies for a month. After a month, the excessive energy depletion will release the trapped enemies.
Once a being reaches above the Martial Saint Realm, whether they belong to the Human Clan, Devil Clan, Demon Clan, or Otherworld, they can survive without eating or drinking for at least half a year.
Duan Gujin remembered clearly that the Divine World always used Small Worlds to imprison certain enemies, allowing the Divine Realm disciples into these Small Worlds specifically for training.
The Divine World refers to this kind of treasure as Small World, and any trapped enemy, regardless of their power, will ultimately be limited to the strongest state allowed by the Small World.
Mo Yan quickly found Duan Gujin and asked if he would like to team up with him.
Duan Gujin agreed without hesitation.
The nearby Martial Artists quickly grouped with Duan Gujin, Mo Yan, and others.
Everyone felt tense, eager to finally witness what these otherworldly beings truly looked like.
"We previously only saw the appearances and capabilities of those otherworldly beings in books; now we can finally see how their combat power stands."
Many Martial Artists became excited.
"Brother Duan, are those otherworldly beings frightening?"
Mo Yan secretly transmitted a voice message to him.
"Frightening. All I can say is, you must be very cautious! Those otherworldly beings have many abilities beyond what we can imagine, requiring us to be exceptionally careful!"
Duan Gujin responded.
"Is this really a true test score?"
Mo Yan asked.
"In short, you need to put in your best effort. Based on my understanding of the Divine World, they focus more on real combat results!"
Duan Gujin replied.
Mo Yan suddenly understood.
Only through real combat can one accurately reflect a Martial Artist's true Combat Power.
Once everyone formed their teams, they all rushed into the Small World.
Unexpectedly, Duan Gujin saw Gu Xiaoyue in the group.
Ascension Academy divides all disciples according to the location of their Planes.
Therefore, Duan Gujin and Gu Xiaoyue were far apart in Ascension Academy.
Moreover, although they had previously pledged to find each other.
In truth, since entering Ascension Academy, neither had truly sought the other out; instead, both just fooled each other.
"What a coincidence!"
Gu Xiaoyue quickly noticed Duan Gujin, her expression slightly changing, and immediately greeted him warmly.
"Duan Gujin, hello! It's been a long time!"
Gu Xiaoyue said with enthusiasm.
"Gu Xiaoyue, it really has been a while!"
Duan Gujin forced a smile and said; he initially wanted to trouble Gu Xiaoyue in the Sky Wolf Plane but realized it was too far away and he couldn't reach the Sky Wolf Continent.
He originally thought they might never meet again, but to his surprise, he saw Gu Xiaoyue here today.
"It's fate!"
Duan Gujin forced out another smile and said.
"Yes, it's fate!"
Gu Xiaoyue was genuinely pleased to see Duan Gujin, aware that his combat power far surpassed hers. With the mission of hunting numerous otherworldly beings, only the strong could achieve good scores in this test.
Mo Yan saw a beauty beside Duan Gujin and quickly moved aside; he didn't want to ruin Duan Gujin's moment.
A cold light flickered in Duan Gujin's eyes as his mind raced; he contemplated how to end Gu Xiaoyue's life in the Small World.
In his heart, Gu Xiaoyue was a truly venomous woman, and not eliminating her sooner felt like a thorn in his side.
"You choose not to walk the path to Heaven, yet insist on rushing towards the gates of Hell!"
Thought Duan Gujin.
