Chapter 292 The Red-Haired Woman
Lin Yuechan glanced at Lin Qiye subconsciously as she spoke, then changed the subject and added somewhat helplessly, "Uh... it's definitely not as strong as your martial will."
Lin Qiye nodded calmly, indicating that he understood.
Lin Yuechan paused for a moment, then continued to explain the specific rules of this joint examination.
"For this joint entrance exam, each of the top 10 private universities in our First College District will send 100 students, for a total of 1,000 students, plus nearly 100 staff members from the joint entrance exam committee, all of whom will participate."
"Upon entering, the area will be divided into ten fan-shaped zones, centered on the entrance and exit of the Abyss Rift. Each school's task is to advance and clear in their designated direction until they obtain the mission objective, the 'Abyss Energy Crystal,' and then return. The school that moves the fastest will be the first to leave Abyss Rift 1 and proceed to Abyss Rift 2."
"And so on. After completing the missions in twenty different abyssal rifts, the final ranking will be based on the total number of Abyssal Energy Crystals obtained by each school. At the same time, the number of enemies killed will be estimated based on the kill data recorded by the Joint Examination Committee, and the MVP will be ranked accordingly."
"Your terminals will lose signal after entering the abyss gap. Therefore, even though each of you will be prepared with a walkie-talkie before entering, you cannot be alone. You must act in groups of at least five and not stray far from the main group."
After saying that, Lin Yuechan glanced at Si Qingwan and added, "The members of the joint examination committee who accompanied our school this time are Teacher Si Qingwan, Teacher Li Sen, and Teacher Liang Zhiyin. I just came out of the abyss, and the abyssal aura on my body may attract unnecessary trouble, so it is not suitable for me to enter the abyssal gap again."
Ling Xiaoqing listened quietly beside her.
Sigh, the chief is indeed the chief.
When the teacher explained the task, he was always the center of attention.
I feel like I'm just a freebie, nobody cares about me or asks about me.
Just as Ling Xiaoqing was secretly complaining, a gentle voice rang in her ear.
"Ling Xiaoqing, how are your preparations going?"
Ling Xiaoqing was taken aback. She looked up and met her boss Qingwan's smiling, almond-shaped eyes.
Ling Xiaoqing immediately said, "Teacher Si Qingwan, I...I'm all ready!"
Si Qingwan nodded: "That's good. As the deputy captain, you are the brain and link of the team in this mission, responsible for overall planning and command. Your task is of utmost importance."
Si Qingwan's words were like a warm current, instantly flowing into Ling Xiaoqing's heart.
Ling Xiaoqing took a deep breath and nodded heavily, her bright eyes gleaming with confidence and determination.
Si Qingwan nodded in satisfaction, then turned to look at Lin Qiye, thinking to herself that this young man definitely wouldn't have time to deal with such tedious matters; these things could be left to Ling Xiaoqing.
Upon hearing this, Lin Qiye turned around and smiled at Ling Xiaoqing: "Thank you for your hard work these past few days."
"No...it's not hard at all!"
Ling Xiaoqing was caught off guard by his sudden gratitude and quickly waved her hand.
Sitting in front, Lin Yuechan's cold phoenix eyes also flashed with a faint smile.
Yuan Jingjing, standing to the side, remained silent, as if none of this concerned her.
The convoy of vehicles sped through the city.
An hour later, the convoy gradually slowed down.
Finally, the twenty large hovercraft came to a slow stop in front of a massive military base enclosed by towering alloy walls.
This is the location of the gateway to Abyss Gap 1.
The car doors slid open with a hiss, and a blast of dry, slightly metallic air rushed out.
Lin Qiye was the first to step off the hovercar, his feet resting on the solid alloy plaza.
He raised his head and glanced around.
The square was enormous, large enough to hold 10,000 people.
In the distance, there was a massive alloy city wall that stretched like a mountain range. In the very center of the wall was a tightly closed, giant gate that radiated a cold metallic luster.
That is the entrance to Abyss Gap 1.
At this moment, dozens of hovercars of all kinds are parked in the square, each one painted with a striking school emblem.
Lin Qiye glanced at it and thought, "This logo looks like a bull's head. It should be the Golden Bull Wuhan University, right?"
That one that looks like a twisted dragon, should be Long Da?
Anyway, it was Lin Qiye's first time meeting him.
Students dressed in different styles of combat uniforms were gathering in twos and threes, forming distinct small groups.
Lin Qiye could sense that people from at least three schools had already arrived ahead of time.
Their gazes immediately fell upon the Galaxy Wuhan University team that had just arrived.
Looking at this familiar yet unfamiliar scene, Lin Qiye felt a sense of disorientation.
He felt as if he had returned to seven months ago, to the moment when he had just taken the entrance exam for a private university.
Looking back, it's been less than seven months, hasn't it?
Why does it feel like... a long time has passed?
Just as Lin Qiye was feeling sentimental, the other hovercars from Galaxy Martial Arts University also parked in the designated area.
The car doors opened, and the teachers and students filed out.
Their appearance immediately attracted the attention of students from other schools in the square.
A multitude of gazes, like searchlights, converged from all directions.
Clearly, many of the students present knew each other, and some may have even grown up in the same place, attended the same junior high school, or the same high school, only to be separated during their university years.
As one of the top two schools in the first academic district, Galaxy Wuhan University is naturally the focus of everyone's attention.
Lin Qiye, as the most dazzling new star of this year, is the focus of attention.
"They're from Galaxy Martial Arts University!"
"Who's leading the team?"
"That's the top freshman at Galaxy Martial Arts University. I even specifically inquired about him. He cultivates the 'Primordial Qi Gong,' and his name is Lin Qiye? Hmm, he's from the Lin family on the main planet!"
"What? They're from the Lin family on the main planet, cultivating the Primordial Chaos Qi Cultivation Technique? Isn't the main planet supposed to cultivate a new system?"
"Hehe, you just don't understand. Those who cultivate the new system are all minor characters from the main planet. The true geniuses of the main planet cultivate various perfect versions of ancient cultivation techniques!"
"Really? Then you're cultivating a new system?"
"Nonsense, if I don't cultivate the new system, I'm not even as good as a nobody from the main planet!"
Lin Yuechan and the other teachers did not immediately assemble into a group.
They knew very well that this half hour of free time before entering the abyss was reserved for the students.
Despite the competition among the ten top private universities, the students have a complex and intertwined personal relationship.
Many of them were old acquaintances, or even childhood friends who grew up together.
It's perfectly normal for them to greet each other and exchange information before the intense preparations for battle.
The students from Galaxy Wuhan University quickly blended into the atmosphere of the square, walking in twos and threes toward their friends.
Just then, a group of teachers walked straight towards the Galaxy Martial Arts University's team.
The leader was a petite woman with fiery red hair.
Lin Qiye recognized her at a glance.
