The content of the meeting was very straightforward, aimed at introducing the team members to each other. The atmosphere within the team was harmonious, and everyone had a great time chatting together. As the team leader, Tang Ruobing, also briefly talked about the internal matters of the team.
First, for the purpose of preparing for the college entrance exam battle, they had to train collectively every week to enhance their chemistry through practical combat in the Little Spirit Realm.
The so-called Little Spirit Realm is a replica of the Spirit Realm that appears in the real world. It refreshes various monsters randomly, without any main storyline, tasks, or Spirit Realm rewards, just basic resources gained from defeating monsters or gathering materials.
Even though it only offers basic resources, the value of the Little Spirit Realm is quite high. Getting a chance to enter the Little Spirit Realm for free once a week is undoubtedly profitable.
However, until Ye Mingqiu successfully passes the Spirit Realm trial and obtains a profession, he cannot enter the Little Spirit Realm with others to train. After all, he doesn't even have any professional skills, and his basic attributes are very low, entering would just be dragging everyone down.
Second, Chenghai Second High School has three teams in total for the college entrance exam preparations. A team battle ranking competition is held every month to confirm rankings and accumulate practical experience.
The school's teachers score each student's performance during the practical battles. Students with low performance scores will be directly removed from the college entrance exam preparation team and replaced by stronger students.
This is survival of the fittest.
However...
If nothing unexpected happens, the team battles in the first few months will directly turn into internal battles among each team's mages. With mages' basic levels far ahead of other students, even tanks will become clumps of clay given such a huge level gap.
But this situation won't last forever. The higher the level of a spiritualist, the more experience is required for leveling up. It's almost impossible for mages with much higher levels to continue widening the gap. Over the year of their senior year, the level gap between other members and mages will inevitably shrink.
"If that's the case, our team's estimated ranking in next month's team battle is probably second place," Ke Fanxing sighed and said.
His judgment was simple. With Tang Ruobing ranked second on the Forbes Rankings, their team is very likely second in team battles. It's not that others don't play a role, it's just that the level gap is too large to significantly impact the situation.
Tang Ruobing remained silent.
But she quickly heard a special sound from the headphones, and her expression changed slightly. She then openly turned on the communication device to check the messages inside.
Ye Mingqiu: Good luck!
Hmph!
She put down the communication device and said, "I will win."
....
One week later
[Notice: Your four-dimensional basic attributes have reached 20. Please choose to participate in the trial within 24 hours, or it will be considered forfeited]
Finally completed!
Ye Mingqiu sighed with relief, lowered his head, and looked at his four-dimensional attribute panel.
[Power: 4.4, Agility: 2.6, Constitution: 3.0, Spirit: 10]
Once his spirit reached 10 points, he directly used technology to maximize his power. At the same time, he mastered the Long Weapon Specialty to a good level during this period of special training. There should be no problem handling the Spirit Realm trial.
Additionally, his physical and mental states are now at their peak, ready to enter.
[Participate in the trial]
The next moment, Ye Mingqiu's body instantly appeared in the boundless starry sky, and several new options appeared before him.
[Choose trial difficulty]
[A: Ordinary]
[B: Difficult]
[C: Hell]
There's actually a hell level? Ye Mingqiu felt somewhat surprised, as it's normally expected that the initial Spirit Realm trial wouldn't have a hell level, with the highest level being difficult, which was Tang Ruobing's level fully configured at difficult.
Should I try it?
Of course!
[You have chosen Hell Level]
....
[Enter world: Fall of Chaoge]
[Difficulty Level: Hell Level]
Introduction: In an immeasurably distant ancient era, humans and gods once coexisted on the same land, sharing the same sky for generations.
For centuries, when everyone revered and worshiped gods, and deemed serving gods as natural, one person chose a different path, deciding to challenge the gods in a mortal's guise.
[Main task: Survive]
Task goal: Survive for one day.
Failure penalty: None.
When Ye Mingqiu opened his eyes again, he found himself on a battlefield shrouded in smoke.
At this moment, he was wearing armor and holding a standard-issue spear, surrounded by many soldiers showing signs of fear. The air around him was filled with the faint stench of blood, somewhat pungent.
What is happening?
Though somewhat confused, Ye Mingqiu quickly processed the information and assessed his situation.
Currently, his task is to survive. Judging by the surrounding environment, it seems he's in a war at a disadvantage. The nearby soldiers looked at him with hope and fear.
Additionally, his equipment was better than the surrounding soldiers, and their looks of inquiry and fear seemed to imply he was their leader.
So, the danger to survival must not come from them but from somewhere else, most likely from the enemy forces in the outside war.
"What's the situation now?"
Ye Mingqiu asked a soldier.
"Report, General! We have over a hundred left here. There should be some soldiers surviving in other areas, but probably not exceeding three thousand," the soldier replied gravely.
"Oh."
Ye Mingqiu's expression remained unchanged, and he asked, "How many enemies are there?"
"Conservatively estimated... around eighty thousand troops."
The soldier continued to answer.
Eighty... eighty thousand?
Are you kidding me?
Ye Mingqiu's heart instantly sank; a force of three thousand against eighty thousand, is this the hell level difficulty? Far removed from Xia Qingxue's werewolf game!
Moreover, more importantly, his three thousand seem to be a remnant force, some might directly flee, so the number could be even smaller.
However, the more dangerous the situation, the more necessary it is to maintain a stable mentality, not panicking but holding steady.
My task is survival, as long as I survive a day, I don't need to win the war, just use these soldiers to stay alive. Surviving is enough.
If nothing unexpected happens, my task should be to find other soldiers, continually strengthen the team, and then escape in this harsh environment.
But the next moment...
"Report!!"
"The city gate has been breached!!"
In the distance, a blood-covered soldier staggered towards him and shouted.
"Hmm?"
"The enemy forces are about to rush in, at most in a quarter of an hour, General! What should we do? Fight them?"
"Huh?"
Ye Mingqiu widened his eyes; his previously stable mentality was instantly shattered, and the prepared tactics were also rendered void.
You've got to be kidding me!
Not only do you want me to lead a force of three thousand against eighty thousand, but also open with a breached city being hunted down, how can this be fought!
