Chapter 75: Chapter 75: Killing Can Provide Spiritual Nourishment

"Subway station?"

"Such a large underground space, it feels like a high-speed rail platform."

"You can't tell from the surface, is it hollowed out underneath?" Most of the students were shocked as they got off.

Li Yuan had already watched the introductory video of the 'Moon Demon Astral Realm' and had many speculations in his mind.

Instinctively, Li Yuan looked towards Lin Lanyue not far away.

Lin Lanyue was also dressed in black soft armor and protective clothing, tall and valiant.

As if sensing Li Yuan's gaze, Lin Lanyue turned her head, gently shook it, signaling Li Yuan not to say anything.

"Board the train in order of your previous numbers," the nearby base officer said in a deep voice.

Li Yuan boarded the train, glancing around.

Professor Ming and the other second-level source martial arts teachers and officers stood far away.

It seemed they had no intention of boarding the train.

...

The train moved, completely enclosed, with even the glass being opaque.

It prevented Li Yuan and the others from seeing the outside scenery.

If not for the slight vibration of the train body, they wouldn't even notice the train moving.

Each carriage had about 50 students, divided into two teams, guarded by two martial officer soldiers, one at the front and one at the back.

Suddenly.

"Whoosh~" Light gathered at the front, back, and sides of the carriage, forming a light curtain projection.

In the projection appeared the previously seen tall man in blue.

"Now, I'll announce the rules of the practical assessment," the tall man said in a deep voice. "First, the assessment location is a special military base. After entering and leaving, you are not allowed to inquire about or disclose any content related to the assessment area. Violators will be considered 'spies'."

Many students were shocked.

Spies?

"Second, killing each other is not allowed during the assessment. The entire assessment area is monitored," the tall man said coldly. "Violators will be sentenced to death."

The students' faces showed even more shock.

Li Yuan, however, was slightly moved. The first two rules were 'punishments'.

Is this setting the ground rules?

"Third, all astral realm creatures are constantly monitored. Therefore, as long as you kill them, the points will be recorded in real-time on the leaderboard. You don't need to collect tokens separately, and you can check the rankings on your positioning wristbands at any time."

"Fourth, astral realm creatures below level 10 are worth 1 point, level 10-11 are worth 10 points; level 12 are worth 50 points... If you encounter astral realm creatures above level 12, it's recommended to run away immediately and seek help."

"Fifth, obtaining 5 points means passing the assessment."

"Sixth, if you encounter danger, you can choose to seek help. Attack drones will arrive within 30 seconds... but it also means the end of the assessment, and points will be halved, so act within your limits."

"Seventh, the assessment starts at 9 o'clock and lasts until 4 o'clock in the afternoon, a total of seven hours."

...

After the rules were explained, the projection disappeared, and the train continued moving. Not long after.

Very abruptly.

Buzz~ Li Yuan suddenly felt a slight pain in his head, like being continuously pricked by needles, causing him to clench his teeth unconsciously.

However, for Li Yuan, this pain was minor compared to the torment of practicing "Observing the Grand Sun Starry Scripture."

At the same time.

Boom~ An invisible force seemed to squeeze around his body, like entering water and facing resistance from all sides.

Increasingly uncomfortable.

"Ah!" Some students showed painful expressions, their faces red, veins bulging, as if suffering unbearable pain.

Thud~

Thump~ Many students couldn't help but half-kneel, trying to relieve the sudden pressure.

"Relax," the voice of a martial officer came to their ears. "It's your first time experiencing this, it will be over in twenty seconds."

"Could it be," Li Yuan had a bold guess: "Second-level and above life forms can't enter the Moon Demon Astral Realm?"

Is this the difference between a first-level astral realm and a second-level astral realm?

...

Every twenty students boarded a small aircraft, which then took off quickly.

Boom~

Inside the aircraft, Li Yuan fastened his seatbelt, as usual sitting opposite Lin Lanyue, waiting for orders.

Two officers maintained order. Ten minutes later.

Buzz~ The aircraft door suddenly opened, wind rushing in.

"Li Yuan, get down!" A tall officer said in a deep voice.

Unfastening his seatbelt, Li Yuan and Lin Lanyue exchanged glances, grabbed their spears, and went to the door. Looking down, the aircraft was about three meters above the ground.

Whoosh!

They jumped down, landing lightly.

Boom~ The aircraft door closed, and the small aircraft quickly ascended and left.

Only Li Yuan remained on the hillside.

"Hmm?" Li Yuan looked up, seeing a small black dot in the sky, a combat drone.

It seemed to be protecting him.

"It's 8:45 now." Li Yuan glanced at his positioning wristband. "The assessment starts at 9:00?"

Li Yuan observed his surroundings. It was a mountainside, rocky but sparse trees, quite open.

"According to yesterday's information."

"The entire practical assessment area is 100 kilometers long and wide." Li Yuan scanned around.

"My location."

Finally, Li Yuan saw the distant landmark lone mountain 'Blade Mountain', smiling. "I'm in the southeast area, good."

"Less than five kilometers from the 'Moon Demon Wolf No. 5 Tribe' gathering area."

"Wait for orders."

...

Fifteen minutes later.

"The practical assessment starts now!" The positioning wristband sent a reminder.

"Let's go." Li Yuan held his spear and immediately headed to his destination.

To kill more moon demon creatures?

Besides being strong enough, you need to find their gathering place!

...

At the highest point of the war fortress in the Moon Demon Astral Realm, in a very spacious meeting room, there were dense monitoring screens.

"Activate 'Absolute Protection' for the 18 top-rated students," a burly officer said in a deep voice. "Ensure their safety."

"Do our best to ensure the safety of other students as well."

"Yes!"

...

In a deep ravine, Li Yuan was walking.

"Howl~" Suddenly, three large moon demon creatures appeared around a corner.

They were pitch black, over a meter tall, at least two meters long, with tails nearly a meter long. They resembled 'wolves' on Blue Star, but their size was close to tigers, with few hairs and dense scales.

Their eyes were the most striking, blood-red, with a hint of intelligence, making them terrifying.

"Walked a few kilometers, finally encountered three moon demon wolves." Li Yuan stopped, holding his spear, staring at the three moon demon wolves.

No fear, only excitement.

[Target's life level: 8.2, killing it can obtain spiritual nourishment] Li Yuan smiled after using his divine palace to probe one of them. "Good."
