39: Beast Hunter

The next day, when they arrived at school, all the students participating in the trial were standing on the playground.

In the parking lot next to the playground, many large buses were parked.

At the very front were Li Mengxue and the old man from before.

Shen Yi was also among them.

"Students, please board the buses in an orderly fashion. We will soon be traveling by bus to the Blue Abyss Secret Realm entrance. This trial will last for one month. Students who pass the test should bring essential living supplies. I will call out names, and those students should begin boarding."

"Su Lanqing"

"Ye Lintian"

"Li Fengchen"

......

After Shen Yi boarded the bus, a prompt appeared in his mind.

"Task completed, Talent Level +1"

He called up his attribute panel.

"Name: Shen Yi"

"Talent Level: B-Rank"

"Spirit: 15"

"Strength: 15"

"Ability Level: First-Order Six-Star"

"Ability Type: Fire (Hidden Ability not awakened (71/100))"

"Ability Technique: Reconnaissance (Proficiency: (0/100))"

"Freely Distributable Points: 0 points"

Looking at his attributes, his talent had already risen to B-Rank, and it hadn't been long.

Huang Ren was also on the same bus as him.

Huang Ren sat in the seat next to Shen Yi, a pained expression on his face.

"Shen Yi, do you think we'll survive once we go in?" Huang Ren asked worriedly.

Shen Yi patted Huang Ren's shoulder and comforted him, "I don't know either. As the saying goes, all things are difficult before they are easy, as long as you are willing to give up."

Huang Ren's eyes lit up. "That's right! It just says to participate, not necessarily to complete the trial. If I just go in and then forfeit, won't I avoid having to fight so desperately?"

"You're right. As long as we're willing to give up, nothing can defeat us," Huang Ren said happily.

The bus traveled for about five hours.

As the bus continued to move forward, it had already left the city, and all around were endless plains.

Each bus had a high-level Ability user teacher responsible for the students' safety, and they would also explain some precautions about the Blue Abyss Secret Realm along the way.

"In another eight hours, we will enter the Blue Abyss Secret Realm. Before entering the Blue Abyss Secret Realm, each student will receive the supplies they need in the Secret Realm at the entrance."

"Based on your identity, each person can receive one set of living supplies, which can sustain you for ten days inside."

"As for the specific details, dedicated personnel will explain them to you once we arrive at the Blue Abyss Secret Realm."

"This trial is not just for students from our Three Middle School; all students in our country will enter the Blue Abyss Secret Realm."

"The only difference is that different schools will be distributed in different areas. Don't be surprised if you encounter students from other regions."

The students on the bus listened to the instructor's words, each of them very curious about what kind of existence the Blue Abyss Secret Realm was, that it could accommodate so many students.

It's important to know that in all of Huaxia, there are at least hundreds of millions of high school students. Even if more than half are filtered out, there are still tens of millions of students.

While they were still wondering if it would be like dumplings being dropped, one after another, the teacher's voice sounded again.

"The Blue Abyss Secret Realm is enormous, comparable to the entire area of our Huaxia. The mainAlien inside are the Blue Foxes. Don't underestimate them; their intelligence is not inferior to ours."

"Adult Blue Foxes can transform into human form; only young Blue Foxes remain in their beast form."

"If you encounter Blue Foxes, try not to harm them. They are relatively neutral towards us humans. Of course, if they rashly attack us, then we can retaliate."

"As for the other fierce beasts in the Blue Abyss, they are considered subordinates of the Blue FoxAlien. Most fierce beasts do not possess intelligence."

As he spoke, he used a projector to display images of various strange and monstrous beasts on a white cloth above the bus.

"This trial is related to your future achievements. The reason there is no talent requirement is that in the Blue Abyss Secret Realm, there will appear a plant called Marrow Cleansing Flower. If you are fortunate enough to collect it, it can improve your talent."

When some students heard about a plant that could improve talent, their eyes lit up, wishing they could appear in the Blue Abyss Secret Realm right now.

Shen Yi curled his lips, completely uninterested in this, as he had the system. As long as he went out more and more options appeared, his talent would improve.

Huang Ren likewise had no interest in this. His ideal was to become a chef in a five-star restaurant and learn Ability Techniques used by chefs.

He didn't know what his grandfather was thinking, letting him, with an E-rank talent, come here to participate in the trial. The key was that his dad had agreed, and when he left home this morning, his dad wasn't even home, not even seeing him off.

Shen Yi and Huang Ren both had a weapon in their backpacks, which they had bought yesterday.

When they boarded the bus in the morning, the teacher also said that they could bring weapons when entering the Secret Realm, and even if they didn't have weapons, they could receive them before entering the Secret Realm.

The teacher on the bus began to popularize knowledge again.

"For us humans, the Secret Realm is a crisis, but it can also be an opportunity."

"There was once a student with only F-rank talent who accidentally obtained a spiritual medicine in the Secret Realm. When he came out, his talent had already reached S-rank. Of course, this is a special case, but it doesn't hinder everyone's yearning for the Secret Realm."

The students were all greatly motivated by what the teacher said. Of course, there were also calm students who had doubts about what the teacher had just said.

"Teacher, since there are so many good things in the Secret Realm, why doesn't the country send people to directly retrieve all the things from the Secret Realm? Wouldn't our country then have more geniuses?" a student asked.

"This student's question, I believe many of you also have this doubt. Indeed, there are many spiritual objects in the Secret Realm that we cannot see on our Blue Star, such as spiritual medicines and special minerals."

"However, the Secret Realm is also accompanied by danger. The entrance to every Secret Realm is heavily guarded. Most of theAlien covet our Blue Star. They will disguise themselves as humans and infiltrate our Blue Star."

"In the past, there was also a profession that specialized in descending into Secret Realms to pan for gold, but after too many infiltrations byAlien, it is now stipulated that Ability users below Fifth-Order are not allowed to enter the Secret Realm."

"Every Ability user who can reach Fifth-Order is a pillar of the country."

"When you can reach Fifth-Order in the future, some of the country's Secret Realms will be open to you."

"Moreover, those who enter Fifth-Order must undergo an assessment. Only after successfully registering as a Beast Hunter will they be allowed to enter the Secret Realm."

Beast Hunter, a new term, Shen Yi had heard of this profession for the first time. What the instructor said was not wrong. People living in cities were basically Second-Order, and Third-Order were rare, let alone Ability users above Fifth-Order.

Huang Ren had already fallen asleep, not hearing a single word of what the teacher said.
