Actually, Xu Lingjun initially wanted to use Batman’s mask.
But Gu Xi said, don’t stupidly wear a mask that shows your chin, how dumb do you have to be to not be recognized?
No matter how strong you are...
If you get caught in Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion, you might not be scared, but you would definitely find it annoying.
Moreover, although Xu Lingjun liked seeing Sister Yaya in tight clothes, he personally resisted such things, or else he wouldn’t have worn the Vibranium Armor underneath.
So he had to settle for the next best thing.
After registering his na, he paid 50 academic credits and received a small, palm-sized exquisite instrunt.
"This... it’s your... it’s your first ti here, right?"
The female staff mber asked cautiously.
"Yes, that’s right. Is there a problem?"
The hoarse voice modulator added an eerie touch as it echoed in the ear.
"It’s just... just... just that this is a Spiritual Protection Device. If you encounter danger, life-threatening danger, you can press this button, and within a minute, no one in Miwu Ghost Forest can break your defense, allowing you to escape easily. Plus, soone nearby will co to your rescue imdiately."
The staff stuttered, thinking to herself, I’m just following protocol. With a face like that, how creepy can it get under the mask... who’s going to bother you...
Xu Lingjun nodded, seeing the staff’s discomfort, he thought that he hadn’t noticed before, but in the future, if he enters the Secret Realm, he could certainly make his face scary, it would be safer at least.
He nodded and said, "Thank you."
"You’re welco."
The female staff suddenly felt flattered.
Xu Lingjun joined the queue, and as he followed the line forward, he found that at the end was a military aircraft.
Under the arrangent of the dedicated staff.
Everyone boarded the plane.
Inside the plane, it was chaotic, everyone wore masks; so were gloomy and terrifying, so were comically amusing, so were normal and plain. So acted alone, while others were obviously paired up, likely one of them was a teaching assistant.
Xu Lingjun carefully observed and found that those resembling teaching assistants wore a small golden badge.
Is that to distinguish their identity?
Xu Lingjun ignored them.
Of course, they also ignored Xu Lingjun.
In fact, everyone kept a distance from him...
His mask wasn’t particularly frightening, but staring at it long enough strangely made people feel uneasy.
So teaching assistants were already nervously watching Xu Lingjun and privately advised their trainees, saying that soone daring to use this mask must not be simple, so be careful, don’t provoke him.
Quietly waiting for a while...
About twenty more people boarded the plane.
By now, including the teaching assistants, there were already over seventy people.
It seems that although the cost is very high, firstly, the rewards inside are abundant, and secondly, the basic numbers of Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion are simply too large.
So, every day, so many people can gather.
The plane began to take off, heading towards Miwu Ghost Forest.
Just as it climbed to altitude, it was already enveloped in a mass of mist.
It seems the Miwu Ghost Forest lives up to its na, as everywhere within is enveloped in thick fog.
Through the plane window, outside was a vast expanse of white, with nothing visible.
"Rember, at noon three days from now, if you can’t reach the exit by that ti, every delay will require extra academic credits to complete the procedures. Your specific location is marked on your Spiritual Protection Device, which also has a positioning device function, so don’t worry about getting lost."
The instructor on the plane seriously reminded, "Among you, there are newcors here for the first ti and veterans who have been here many tis. I’ll just say it once: strictly speaking, within the Secret Realm, it is no longer our Blue Star; it’s another world. The Demon Beasts here are not ours; they are our enemies. Encounter those you can defeat, kill as many as you can as it’s your skill; but encountering those you can’t beat, run away... your lives are precious, don’t be reckless... and rember, you are all students of Bei Xuanwu Martial Mansion, just because you wear a mask doesn’t an you beco soone else. Act with a conscience, understand?"
After saying this, he couldn’t help but smile bitterly, sighing, "Forget it, I say this every ti, you’re probably tired of hearing it, just treat it as rambling."
In the crowd, so showed mocking smiles.
Martial Mansion instructors, after all, were once students... they went through being robbed, robbing others, and even stabbing people in the back, only to beco instructors who now demand not to forget their identity and have a sense of propriety.
It’s simply laughable.
The plane kept flying...
Until about half an hour later.
The instructor looked at the positioning device on his wrist.
"Alright, you can go down now."
The instructor seriously said, "I know, here, you may not be enemies, but you are certainly not friends, so jump down directly from the sky, the wind will carry you in different directions...I hope you won’t et your classmates here, that’s it, go."
As he spoke,
The cabin door opened.
Already, a dozen people had leapt down first.
Xu Lingjun wore a strange expression, feeling that this déjà vu was getting stronger.
But he didn’t move...
Gu Xi had already told him about this process, the plane would go deeper and circle once before returning... so if he wanted to go deeper, he shouldn’t be in a hurry to jump.
Academic credits were also important to Xu Lingjun.
Xu Lingjun didn’t mind earning academic credits while striving for Source Value... besides, there’s likely no opportunity to earn Source Value near the exit.
To experience the sinister nature of human hearts, it must be in the sparsely populated areas.
And in fact, those who jumped down mostly were students accompanied by a teaching assistant...these students mostly had no experience, for the first ti, needed their teaching assistant to guide them, rather than to gain academic credits, they were there to familiarize themselves with the environnt.
Earning enough credits to cover the cost of admission was enough, no need to go too deep.
The plane continued onward.
Several more people jumped off.
And right after they jumped, a gust of wind blew them in different directions, clearly, everyone was wary of each other.
After all, their purpose was also academic credits, not to plunder others.
Another half hour passed.
By now, only seven or eight people were left on the plane.
Xu Lingjun stood up, and without hesitation, jumped down.
In mid-air, a strong gust of wind mixed with thick fog swept over, carrying him to one direction... dispersing him from the crowd...
As he gradually descended, the mist in front of him slowly thinned, though still present, it was no longer as dense as in the sky where visibility was almost zero.
At this mont, Xu Lingjun could see the huge and lush towering trees below.
The dense ancient forest.
Suddenly, from his side ca a rapid roar...
A huge beast resembling a winged dragon suddenly swooped past his head, bringing a gust of wind that shook Xu Lingjun’s posture.
It did not attack Xu Lingjun but instead fled into the distance in panic.
Oddly, it seed to be avoiding that plane...
At this mont, a shot suddenly shot down from above, directly piercing through the winged dragon.
The winged dragon let out a miserable cry and fell downward.
Xu Lingjun instinctively raised his hand.
With a thud... the winged dragon slamd into him heavily.
Xu Lingjun: "................."
