At the instant he entered the Light Gate, the stream of light receded like a tidal wave, and an ancient pressure from the scene beyond the gate rushed toward him—

A white jade staircase stretched for several miles, terraced layer upon layer, each step carved with soaring Chi Long, magnificent and grand.

The jade steps led to a magnificent main hall.

On the dome of the main hall, a gigantic relief of a White Dragon breathed lightning, its whiskers and scales flowing with starlit splendor.

This was the 'White Dragon Court'.

"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" "Whoosh!"

Silhouettes darted toward the main hall.

Jiang Ye was amongst them.

The distance of several miles was very short for them.

In just a moment, everyone had entered the main hall, into a vast and empty space.

In the hall, it was completely void except for a huge dragon-shaped shadow imprint on the ground.

Tang Wuji, Shi Ting, and others entered and casually found a spot to sit cross-legged.

"Jiang Ye, sit down," Tang Wuji reminded him, "Just wait for the Teleportation Array to activate."

"Okay." Jiang Ye nodded, walking over to sit beside Tang Wuji.

Half a minute later.

"Buzz!" The dragon-shaped shadow on the ground suddenly lit up.

"The teleportation has started?" Jiang Ye did not close his eyes, a trace of anticipation appearing in his gaze.

But in the next second.

"Boom!" A torrent suddenly crashed into his mind, causing his consciousness to blacken out entirely, and he fainted completely.

...

Just as Jiang Ye and the others entered the White Dragon Court.

Outside, inside a Star Building next to the dragon head structure.

Zhu Honglie, Qiu Cang, and several other teachers were gathered in front of a massive holographic projection.

"Old Zhu, why did your Penglai University come so early this time, especially bringing a young fellow for advanced training?"

The speaker was an elder in a purple robe, seeming rather amiable.

"The kid's progress is too fast."

"Now he has reached the Second Break." Zhu Honglie smiled, "I brought him early mainly to prepare for the Genius Cup in two months."

"I see." The purple-robed elder couldn't help but be curious, "How fast is his progress?"

"I'll let Old Qiu speak to that."

Zhu Honglie smiled, "He spent the past six days studying with Qiu Cang."

As he spoke, he looked towards the black-robed elder beside him.

All eyes turned toward Qiu Cang.

"The boy's progress is indeed astonishing."

"In just six days, he comprehended two spear techniques." Qiu Cang shook his head with a smile, "And they're the challenging 'Great Sun Spear Technique'."

"Comprehending two spear techniques in six days?"

"And it's the Upper Profound Tier Great Sun Spear Technique?"

"How is that possible, there's no mistake, right?" The purple-robed elder and other teachers were all incredibly surprised.

Comprehending two spear techniques in six days.

At this rate.

The seventy-two techniques of the spear could be fully comprehended in just over two hundred days?

Unless one is a peerless genius, no amount of Talent can manage that speed.

"I saw it with my own eyes."

"This young fellow is truly excellent." Qiu Cang sighed, "Had I known earlier, I wouldn't have introduced him to Old Zhu but directly recruited him to White Dragon University."

"Heh heh." Zhu Honglie chuckled, "Now you want to take him as a disciple?"

"Too late!"

"He's the disciple I brought out." Zhu Honglie looked rather smug.

"You, you're really..." Qiu Cang shook his head with a sigh-laugh.

Indeed.

In past years, even the top students of Penglai University might not match the D Level students of White Dragon University.

Let alone compared with A Level students.

But now? Jiang Ye's progress speed is on par with White Dragon University's A Level students.

"They've already entered their trial challenge." The purple-robed elder suddenly said.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Honglie, Qiu Cang, and the others all looked towards the projected screen.

"Let me see, which young fellow is it?"

"To receive such an evaluation from Old Qiu, I must see what skill he truly has." The group of White Dragon University teachers all paid attention.

...

Swish~

When Jiang Ye opened his eyes again.

He was no longer in the previous hall, but in a starry, colorful corridor.

"Where is this?" Jiang Ye's pupils contracted, and he suddenly became alert.

The colorful corridor before him left too deep an impression.

Back when the Shadow Disaster struck An City, such a corridor had appeared in the sky.

"Starry Sky Corridor?" Jiang Ye looked around.

The others had all vanished.

At this moment.

[Reach the specified location within the time limit and eliminate all Shadow Race members]

[You have one chance to revive]

Two lines of text emerged.

"Revive?" Jiang Ye was taken aback.

That means this isn't the real world, but an environment similar to the Virtual Starry Sky?

"Wow!"

A map unfolded before Jiang Ye.

On the map, extending out from this Starry Sky Corridor, three locations were marked.

[Countdown 30 minutes, starts now]

[29 minutes 59 seconds]

[29 minutes 58 seconds]

...

"Whoosh!" Without hesitation, Jiang Ye's figure became like lightning, dashing out of the Starry Sky Corridor.

This corridor was very long.

But his speed was extremely fast.

In just half a minute, Jiang Ye flew out of the corridor.

The view opened up wide.

In front of him was a vast wasteland, but the trees, flowers, and grasses were extraordinarily strange, twisted and sickly, as if mutated.

[You have arrived at Shadow Race Star Nest No. 999, please complete the task as soon as possible]

"Shadow Race Star Nest?" Jiang Ye was stunned, "Mother Star?"

Did he reach the lair of the Shadow Race?

"Whoosh!"

Only half a second of hesitation, Jiang Ye became a Shadow, shooting towards the task location.

The time was pressing!

The three marked locations were ten miles apart, and just traveling would take several minutes.

Jiang Ye had no time to waste.

...Several minutes later.

Following the map, Jiang Ye finally reached the first task location.

Up ahead, a towering Energy Wall enclosed an area several hundred meters in circumference.

"Roar~ Roar~"

A group of fearsome Shadow Race beings were crashing into the wall, seemingly trying to get out.

"This..." Jiang Ye's eyes flashed with a strange look.

He had a weird feeling that the Shadow Race here seemed to be penned in, waiting for slaughter?

But the problem was, this was clearly the Shadow Race's mother star.

Could it be that the Shadow Race's mother star had been overrun?

Although he knew it was a virtual scene, Jiang Ye still felt extremely strange.

...These thoughts only flashed for a moment.

In the next moment, Jiang Ye's figure rapidly approached that area.

He could already vaguely see, in the confined space, one dark and ferocious figure after another.

"Thirty, fifty, a hundred..."

With a swift glance, Jiang Ye instantly took in the number of Shadow Race inside the enclosure.

"There are more than a hundred Shadow Race in total, of which over ninety are juvenile forms near Second Break." Jiang Ye thought, "The remaining ten are all in the early period, equivalent to Second Break!"

Bang! Jiang Ye, wielding a long spear, dove down rapidly.

"Buzz!" As he approached, the Energy Wall opened a gap just enough for him to enter.

"Whoosh!" Jiang Ye's form was like electricity, darting inside.

The slaughter! Begins!
