CHAPTER TEXT:
In front of people, showing off his prowess, ranked sixth.
The endless gray mist behind him spread to the sides, forming a gray mist wall thousands of meters high, while in front lay a chasm that plunged a thousand meters deep, no wonder it was called Sky Chasm Station.
Just as Chen Chu and the other new students stood at the edge of the cliff, lost in the sight of the vast and majestic wilderness forest in the distance, a man's voice sounded from the loudspeaker at the station.
"Hey, cultivators over there, stop looking and come over for registration."
Immediately, Chen Chu and the others turned their heads and noticed a guard room building several dozen meters away.
Cough!
Chen Chu cleared his throat and said, "Let's go over first; we still have to head to school in the Nine Ring Mountain Range."
The elegantly dressed Hong Tianyi nodded, "Indeed, this is just the entrance to the Exotic Beast Battlefield; we still have a long way to go to reach the school."
Li Chen excitedly said, "Let's go, brothers."
As those guys hurried to the guard room, Chen Chu took the initiative to help Luo Fei with a suitcase, while the girl followed behind carrying another with a smile in her eyes.
"Facial recognition passed, fingerprint confirmed, Southern Heaven Martial High first-year student, Hong Tianyi."
"Facial recognition passed, fingerprint confirmed, Southern Heaven Martial High first-year student, Li Chen..."
As each person passed through the entrance of the guard room, their identities were announced by an electronic voice, very precise and with strict security.
After passing the identity verification, the fifteen of them followed the signs toward the massive lift platform behind the guard room.
Though called a lift platform, it was actually a row of large elevators installed on the cliff wall, specifically for transporting people and goods.
Inside the guard room, soldiers in military uniforms were somewhat astonished: "This batch is actually all first-year students from Southern Heaven Martial High."
Another nodded, "Indeed, this year's freshmen at Southern Heaven Martial High are quite strong; so many geniuses have broken through the three heavens in just one semester."
"Each generation surpasses the last."
While the two were conversing, Chen Chu and the others had already arrived at the lift platform and stood firm. A soldier called out, "Students, please stand steady; wish you a prosperous martial path."
Accompanied by the soldier’s blessing, the massive lift platform suddenly descended at an astonishing speed.
The wind howled in their ears, and the speed of descent nearly reached a hundred meters per second; the ground rapidly expanded before their eyes, and in just over ten seconds, they reached the bottom.
As the lift platform slowly came to a halt, Zhang Zilong couldn't help but cover his chest: "I swear, I almost thought we would fall to our deaths."
Li Chen shook his head: "You should be fine; you’re a three-heavens master, and this little feeling of weightlessness scared you."
"Of course! Even a rapid descent at a hundred meters per second is frightening, even for a three-heavens master; we’re not high-level experts," Zhang Zilong retorted.
While the two were joking, Chen Chu looked at Luo Fei and noticed her expression was quite calm.
Luo Fei squinted her eyes slightly, forming a half-moon shape as she smiled, "This little weightlessness won't scare me; I jumped from over ten thousand meters last year before I started cultivating."
A year ago, at fifteen, she had skydived from ten thousand meters. Chen Chu looked at the girl in surprise.
He hadn’t expected her to be not only proficient in firearms but also to excel in various aspects beyond his imagination. At least, he wouldn’t have dared to skydive at fifteen.
As for the rapid descent, ordinary people would definitely struggle; they would even hit their heads hard against the top of the lift due to the weightlessness.
But Chen Chu and the others were cultivators at the three or four heavens, and with true power flowing, their feet felt firmly rooted.
