Chapter 679: Abyss

Translator: Abyssruler Editor: Lucas

The transport ship took off. The entrance to the Abyss was in Roland, and everyone had already entered into their own mecha. Next, they would be randomly placed in various positions on the edge of the Abyss. However, they were unable to perceive the true entrance of the Abyss, nor the method used to enter. The only difference was that they would feel a kind of pressure pressing down on them, resulting in them needing to concentrate to alleviate it.

On the main screen of the monitoring room, Jiang Feng and a group of technicians were observing the above data. A list of physical conditions and mech conditions for the forty students had been displayed.

The other information will be used to analyze the performance of this forty students in their future battles, and to compare them with their past statistics.

As for Hydra and the others, Jiang Feng was already familiar with them. These four were the focus of the academy, and there was no doubt that they had lived up to their expectations. It was predicted that they would be able to rise to the Earth Grade within the next year.

Among the next batch of potentials, there were a few good seedlings in the Xuan Grade, but it had not yet met Jiang Feng’s standards. This was not directly related to their current strength and weaknesses, but was mainly because of their potential. On the other hand, he had more hope in the new students.

There was no need to say anything more about Olivios, this kid was indeed a typical representative of the Arbiter ‘Brahman’. He was not inferior to his elder brother, and even had the potential to exceed expectations.

What made Jiang Feng more surprised was the collective rise of the Solar system. Wang Zheng, Achilles, and Lear, this three of them were pretty decent, especially Achilles and Lear. They initially may have been neglected, but now that they were unearthed, had physical skills comparable to Wang Zheng, and their Ability X was even more powerful. Such minute details and familiarity was something that had been trained from a young age, while Wang Zheng’s usage of Ability X was too rough, unlike the students of Elite Academy X.

Even though the match with Phantom King had used his flame Ability X, but in the eyes of an expert like Jiang Feng, it was quite disappointing. Having such great spiritual power, yet only able to use it till this stage, this could be considered as a waste.

Yet in this aspect of usage, the master could only show them the door. If they could not make any progress by themselves, that meant that they were lacking in certain aspects.

Physical skills and Ability X could only be combined to a certain extent. There were limited chances to rise up, without even mentioning reaching the level of Hydra and the rest.

Wang Zheng’s physical abilities and combat experience may be slightly ahead of the rest, but his potential was still too low. Jiang Feng was also balancing things out in his mind. This kid had just given him a great surprise, but his strengths were still too unclear. It was quite the pity, but Jiang Feng decided that he would just observe him for now.

Although the monitoring room was not able to see the specific situation of the pilot, but they could still observe them through the information of their physical conditions and mech status. Once the two data points had fallen into a dangerous situation, even if the student had not sent an emergency signal, they would still send out the rescue troops. This had not been told to the youths, as they had wanted them to experience the dangers firsthand. Of course, Hocatolin, Hydra and the others should already be aware of this, but the opportunity for training would still be as effective. This allowed them to have their own freedom, instead of tagging along with the troops.

Only those that had seen the bigger would not be arrogant at this stage. After entering the Abyss, all the spacecraft’s energy shields were covered with a strange pink color. The sky was also of the same color, as if it had been dyed in fresh blood. On the other hand, the ground was instead shrouded in an ink-like darkness, with few plants and minerals scattered across the landscape, and were even occasionally moving about. There was a feeling that the doomsday had arrived, this was the first impression that the Abyss gave out.

“All students please take note, we are about to launch. Please keep in mind the various requirements, and follow the instructions given.”

A sound rang out from the system, and everyone had a different reaction. Most of them were eager test out their strength, especially for those who had never been on the battlefield.

After entering the abyss, the transport planes headed in different directions for a long period of time, before the mecha were finally deployed. There might be one or two mech that may meet each other within this month. A small scale cooperation would decrease the difficulty of survival, but this would also lose them a chance to train. It was hoped that this independent survival opportunity would allow them a comprehensive observation of the personal abilities of these students.

“Sir, should we turn on the video monitoring?” One staff member asked.

Jiang Feng shook his head, “Unless there is a problem with the data, do not switch it on.”

All these youths were considered experts, and may be able to sense that they were being monitored. This would only inconvenience them.

At this time, Elite Academy had resumed its normal curriculum. The official finals would only be held one month later. Therefore, everyone’s attention had been on the two princesses and the visiting group from the Milky Way Military College. They would be staying in Elite Academy for a month as exchange students, immersing in the atmosphere here.

Wherever the two princesses went, they were the most popular targets, but they were always protected by their bodyguards. Of course, these guards paid great attention to distance them from the rest of the students. Aina and Lin Huiyin did not wish for this, but the enthusiasm of their guards were far too high.

Meng Tian had also arrived in Roland with the delegation, but she had never revealed herself, which may be for the best. She had made the difficult choice of choosing not to meet with Wang Zheng, as she was unsure of what attitude she would have in front of him. In this aspect, Meng Tian was also a rookie, and had basically chosen to escape.

The fortunate thing was that Wang Zheng was undergoing the one month trial, which allowed Meng Tian to enjoy herself in Elite Academy.

She might not have many friends at the Milky Way Military Academy, but there were quite a few familiar faces here. Lie Xin, Lie Guang, Zhang Shan, Milo and the rest had gladly welcomed her in.

This was a true reunion, and both her eyes were filled with tears. Being separated by god knows how many light years, it was indeed difficult to meet them.

As time went by, everyone’s rate and direction of improvement was different. There were those that they would never again see in their lifetimes. It was only when they were alone in a foreign country would they have such emotions.

Amongst them, there were actually quite a few who had already dropped out. This was also the reason why Lie Xin was frustrated with her defeat this time. She was an extremely strong woman, and although Achilles and the others had successfully advanced, she had failed to do so. Despite this, she was still filled with determination.

As for the Aslan Princess and whatnot, they both belonged in different worlds.

Everyone had learnt a lot about the issues at Milky Way Military College from Meng Tian. Although Meng Tian usually did not talk much, but meeting with old friends, she had put aside her usual frosty demeanor.

Everyone in the academy was evidently enjoying themselves.

As for Wang Zheng…

He had already arrived and immediately rushed outside. Wang Zheng knew more about the Abyss than the average person. Humans could survive in the Abyss, just that the pressure was greater, and was not suitable in the long run. However, he had the Primordial Regression Technique, which allowed him to slowly adapt to such an environment. This was the frightening thing about the technique. As long as it was not absolutely impossible to survive, this technique would be able to change one’s body state and adapt.
