Wang Xu and the others followed Eight Sword Cui and walked for a while. They passed through the academy’s technology zone and went straight to the “Time Jump Room.”
The Time Jump Room was the size of an auditorium. In the middle of it was a circular pillar with a radius of three meters. The surface of the pillar was densely filled with all kinds of letters and numbers, and white light shone from it.
At this moment, there were many people standing in the Time Jump Room. There were at least fifty to sixty of them. They were all Gene Warriors of level two and above, and there were dozens of level-three Gene Warriors.
“Eight Sword Cui, your class is in the limelight this time. The top three students of the scoreboard are from your class. The dean even praised you.” A middle-aged man in blue armor walked over with an unfriendly smile on his face.
Apparently, the middle-aged man and Eight Sword Cui weren’t on good terms.
Wang Xu knew this middle-aged man. His name was He Shi and his nickname was “Blood Flying Knife.” He was good at using assassination weapons and only needed one flying knife to kill the insect beasts. Like Eight Sword Cui, he was also a level-six Gene Warrior.
Eight Sword Cui glanced at him and said indifferently, “Since you’ve said so, our class will continue to occupy the top three this time. Don’t worry.”
The middle-aged man narrowed his eyes and glanced over the twenty students behind Eight Sword Cui, especially staring at Wang Xu and Zhang Xinglin for a while. Then, he turned around and left.
There were four martial arts classes. Wang Xu was in class four led by Eight Sword Cui, while He Shi led class one.
The rankings on the scoreboard were originally all occupied by class one. Half of the top ten students on the scoreboard came from class one every month. Ever since the previous senior advanced to the elite level and entered the “Inner Academy,” class one had declined. Wang Xu from class four jumped to first place on the scoreboard and had occupied it for a long time. This made He Shi feel upset.
On the current scoreboard, class four occupied four of the top ten, and the top three places didn’t have students from any other classes. This was unbearable for He Shi, who had always been arrogant. Therefore, in this trial, He Shi specially instructed that when they saw students from class four, they should snatch their spoils without hesitation!
The coach of class two was a bewitching and beautiful young woman named Yu Chunyan. She was also a level-six Gene Warrior, but her strength was below Eight Sword Cui and He Shi.
The coach of class three was an old man with a white beard. Everyone called him “Elder Feng.” Elder Feng had participated in the cruelest battle with the insect beasts and was already 40 years old when he received the gene serum. He had missed the best period to cultivate and it was already very good that he could reach level six.
“Everyone.” Seeing that the four classes had arrived, Elder Feng stepped forward.
As soon as Elder Feng spoke, everyone quieted down. Even the coaches respected Elder Feng and stopped arguing.
“The trial this time is different from the past. Any team with two level-three students must head to the C Grade Region, while those with only one level-three student or those of level-two students can continue to enter the D Grade Region. Next, you can now stand on the time jump platform for a time jump.” Elder Feng didn’t explain the reason and returned to his class.
Wang Xu and the others already knew about the mission area this time. They weren’t surprised when they heard Elder Feng’s announcement, but some students who didn’t receive any news started to whisper among themselves.
There were level-four Elite Insects in the C Grade Regions. It was much more dangerous than the D Grade Regions. If they went there rashly, they might not be able to come back!
Some students’ hearts shook. The teams that originally had two level-three students began to split up and they led the level-two students to the D Grade Region separately. After all, this was a trial, not a battlefield where they had to risk their lives. They must avoid danger as much as they could. Besides, they could also hone their skills in the D Grade Region , so there was no need to take too many risks.
“Whoosh!”
“Whoosh!”
“Whoosh!”
The time jump platform shone brightly. In a flash, all the students standing on it disappeared. The students who chose to enter the D Grade Region left first, while the remaining students were those who insisted on entering the C Grade Region.
C Grade Regions were dangerous, but they also provided opportunities at the same time!
There was a limit to the number of level-three insect beasts they could encounter in the D Grade Region, but it was different in a C Grade Region. The corpses of level-three insect beasts were worth three points. If they killed a few more, not only would they rank higher in the scoreboard, but they would also be able to accumulate more points and exchange for more cultivation resources.
“Alright, the rest are students heading to the C Grade Region. As the area is special, the danger factor is higher. The academy has specially customized a D Grade battle armor for each of you. Come up and get it!” The staff in charge of the time jump platform opened a box. Inside were sets of blue battle armor.
Wang Xu and the others exchanged looks. Their eyes were filled with slight worry.
If the academy was giving them armor, it showed that the C Grade Region was extremely dangerous!
“Good! Now, close your eyes and relax your bodies. Don’t resist. Begin the time jump!”
With the command, Wang Xu closed his eyes. The next moment, he started to feel dizzy and he felt like vomiting.
The dizziness came and went quickly. Within a few seconds, Wang Xu felt his body lighten. He breathed fresh air into his mouth. The ground then immediately disappeared and he fell down.
“We’re here!” Wang Xu stood firmly on the ground, opening his eyes.
What appeared in front of his eyes was a dense forest, with several buildings that had long become ruins inside it. The dilapidated buildings were covered by moss and weeds, and it was almost impossible to see their original appearance.
A few beams of light flashed through, and Zhang Xinglin, Zhou Ge, Song Zhen, and the rest of the team also arrived.
“Let’s go and find a safe place.” Wang Xu waved his hand and a long sword appeared in his hand. He led the way into the forest.

This was “Space Folding Technology.” It could create an independent space for rings, belts, gems, or other items and was a magical technology developed by scientists using cosmic energy.
Zhang Xinglin and the others didn’t waste any time either. They took out their weapons and followed Wang Xu.
Wang Xu took a casual glance and realized that Zhang Xinglin was using a black sword. He knew that it was made of bronze at first glance. Wang Xu was slightly surprised in his heart. Weapons nowadays were made of ores and technology. Very few people were still using this kind of ancient skill to make weapons.
At the same time, he saw Tang Yan pull out a soft sword from her waist. It was obvious that this soft sword was extraordinary. It had probably surpassed B Grade and reached A Grade.
Wang Xu didn’t think too much and started searching for safe areas with the radiation detector on his wrist.
In order to fight against the insect beasts back then, humans had used all their means and had even used bombs with radiation. As everyone knew, these bombs would cause the area where they exploded to be filled with radiation. Humans were unable to reside there at all, and the radiation would last for fifty years. But at the same time, the insect beasts were also unable to enter the radiation zone. They had a natural resistance to radiation.
Therefore, the most important thing that students had to do in every trial was to find a radiation area as a safe area.
Radiation had a huge impact on insect beasts, but it had a smaller effect on humans. As long as they didn’t live there for a long time, their bodies wouldn’t have any problems.
“Found it. The radiation here matches the standard. We can stay here.” After finding a place, Wang Xu and the others started to set up their quarters.
“Wait, an insect beast is approaching!” With that, everyone immediately became vigilant.
When participating in a trial in the wild, they were the most sensitive to danger. Even if it was the slightest movement, they couldn’t relax themselves.
“I saw it. It’s a level-two Red Beetlemon. I’ll deal with it.” Zhang Xinglin’s eyes quickly locked onto the target. Wang Xu and the others were surprised because they didn’t see any sign of the insect beast, but Zhang Xinglin did.
The Red Beetlemon was a type of level-two insect beast, which was relatively weak. And yet, their hearing was especially sensitive. The sound that Wang Xu and the others made alerted it. Although the Red Beetlemon wasn’t a threat to them, they couldn’t let their guard down. If it summoned other insects to surround them, Wang Xu and the others might immediately fall into danger.
Zhang Xinglin immediately rushed out and disappeared in the forest. Wang Xu and the others ignored him and continued to set up their quarters.
As the sound of the insect beast stopped abruptly, the feeling of being targeted immediately disappeared. Zhang Xinglin walked out of the forest and his black clothes were stained with blood.
…
Time Jump Room.
A huge screen was divided into dozens of images, showing the progress of the various teams.
“He Shi, you’re really generous!”
The four coaches stood in front of the screen. When the bewitching young woman saw the image of the students of He Shi, she immediately exclaimed in surprise.
In the image, He Shi’s students had already started hunting insect beasts, but what was surprising was that each of these students was holding a blue potion in their hands.
The bewitching young woman recognized the potions. Those were the expensive “Body Strengthening Potion.” The concentration of the strengthening potion was very high, and they had strong side effects. The circulation of the potion on the market was prohibited by the government, and it could only be purchased in the black market.
The price of a Body Strengthening Potion was 10,000 Earth Dollars. It wasn’t expensive for the coaches. However, the students each had a few bottles in their hands and that was quite a number of them. They cost hundreds of thousands or even millions!
It was just a trial, yet the coach had invested so much in it. No wonder the bewitching young woman was so surprised.
“Hm! Those are just Body Strengthening Potions that are worth a million. To me, it’s just a drop in the ocean.” He Shi curled his lips indifferently when he heard that, as if a million Earth Coins were nothing to him.
The bewitching young woman looked at Eight Sword Cui. It was obvious that He Shi had put in so much effort just to go against Eight Sword Cui and fight for the rankings on the scoreboard.
Eight Sword Cui was expressionless at this moment. He also knew why He Shi would invest so much in the trial. It was to kick Wang Xu and the others out of the scoreboard and take the most dazzling spot.
At the same time, it was also to get the only spot to enter the “Inner Academy.”
The coaches had already passed the best cultivation age and weren’t qualified to enter the Inner Academy. However, the Inner Academy would give an additional spot to the most outstanding coach every year.
Eight Sword Cui and He Shi were the ones who had the highest chance of competing for the spot this year. Both of them secretly competed with each other to enter the Inner Academy.

After entering the Inner Academy, no matter how poor their talent was, they would at least be a level-seven Gene Warrior when they came out. They would be considered a “master” and their status would greatly increase!
Although Eight Sword Cui’s class had been occupying the places on the scoreboard for a long time, the Inner Academy thought that He Shi was also outstanding. Whether he could enter the Inner Academy basically depended on this trial.
Eight Sword Cui’s face became sullen. Apparently, he didn’t expect He Shi to go all out.
“Hehe, Eight Sword Cui, you and I have been competing for so long. It’s time to decide who wins.” He Shi was delighted in his heart when he saw Eight Sword Cui’s sullen face.
Elder Feng and the bewitching young woman looked at each other. They understood that He Shi had put in a lot of effort for this trial, and victory was almost guaranteed.
