Chapter 284: The Guardian Squad
Chapter 284: The Guardian Squad
Although he had already anticipated it, when his guess was confirmed by Instructor Zhou, Li Qian still found it unbelievable.
"It's actually the Dimensional Gate!"
"So, for the next three days of training, we'll be spending it in the Dimensional Plane!"
"That's great!"
"I never expected that we'd be able to enter the Dimensional Plane so soon!"
"..."
The freshmen listened to Instructor Zhou's explanation, and their discussions began to buzz.
Their faces were filled with excitement.
Li Qian's heart was also stirred.
Instructor Zhou observed the reactions of the freshmen before him, maintaining his composure. He continued, "For the next three days, not only will we be training in the Dimensional Plane, but after the training, there will also be an assessment."
"If you pass the assessment, you will be directly awarded the Adventurer Emblem."
Li Qian's expression of surprise became even more apparent upon hearing this.
The Adventurer Emblem! He could obtain it directly!
The Adventurer Emblem was no ordinary item.
It was, in a sense, a pass.
A pass to enter the Dimensional Plane.
Indeed, entering the Dimensional Plane required a pass.
For ordinary people, there was only one way to obtain the Adventurer Emblem.
It was through the assessment organized by the Beastmaster Association.
It was said that the assessment was divided into two parts: a written exam and a practical test.
The written exam was relatively easier to pass, mostly consisting of questions related to the Dimensional Plane.
This was also a very necessary thing to do.
The more knowledge one possessed about the Dimensional Plane, the higher the chances of survival.
The Dimensional Plane was different from the ancestral star; apart from the human-established base cities, most of the wilderness was filled with dangers.
One had to be vigilant at all times, as even a momentary lapse in attention could lead to a fatal outcome.
As for the practical test, it went without saying.
It was a test of one's Beastmaster abilities.
Unlike ordinary Beastmasters, the graduates of the Eight Great Beastmaster Academies were said to automatically receive the Adventurer Emblem.
Of course, for some genius students, they usually wouldn't wait until graduation.
Normally, they would take the Adventurer Emblem assessment in advance.
However, it was quite unexpected that at this early stage, right after enrollment, there was an opportunity to obtain it, which made Li Qian feel rather surprised.
Along with the surprise, there was also a strong desire.
Currently, his spiritual power had surged to the Elite Rank 9 after completing his research on the evolution methods of Golden Bud Seedlings to Tidal Sea Spirits.
As for Seven Sons and Little Six, their strength had reached this level long ago.
Due to their racial potential, they could even unleash the combat power of a Leader Rank 1, so it was worth a try.
After considering this, Li Qian deeply etched Instructor Zhou's words into his mind.
He scanned the crowd and noticed that many freshmen also had longing in their eyes.
It seemed that this batch of freshmen was indeed a group of hidden talents.
"Now, please come forward one by one to receive your temporary emblem. This emblem can only serve as proof for a single round trip and will automatically disappear upon your return."
Instructor Zhou's expression turned serious once again, "Remember, after entering the Dimensional Plane, this temporary emblem must be worn at all times and must not be removed under any circumstances."
After saying this, he began to distribute the temporary emblems to the students in order, from the smallest to the largest number.
Li Qian was in the middle of the line, number twelve, and was the twelfth to receive the temporary emblem.
He carefully examined the temporary emblem in his hand.
After a brief inspection, he realized there was nothing more to be gained and promptly wore the light grey temporary emblem on his chest, not wasting any more time.
A few minutes later, when he saw that everyone had put on their emblems, Instructor Zhou reminded them, "Make sure to wear your emblems properly. During the security check later, if you don't have your emblem, you may be directly detained by the security robots."
After saying this, he led the way towards the light curtain in the north.
The security check process was simple.
All it took was passing through a security gate.
On either side of the security gate, security robots floated. Each time a Beastmaster passed through, a red beam would be emitted.
After the red beam scanned, those without issues could pass through.
Those with issues would be stopped.
Zhou Jiaoguan walked towards the security gate, but he didn’t go straight through. Instead, he stopped at the gate.
After stopping, he looked at the first girl in line, "Number One, go in!"
The girl at the front of the queue, hearing this, walked through the security gate without hesitation, her face filled with excitement.
The red beam flashed and disappeared.
In just a moment, the security check was over, and the girl had already made it to the other side of the security gate.
"Number Two, continue!"
Seeing that the first girl had completed the security check, Zhou Jiaoguan continued to give orders.
One by one, they went through.
In about three minutes, all the freshmen had passed through the security check.
The line of twenty-five freshmen reassembled behind the security gate.
Zhou Jiaoguan continued his introduction, "Perhaps some of you already know, within the dimensional plane, human Beastmasters have established several base cities."
"Inside the dimensional rift of our Shazhou City, there are two large cities, three medium cities, and five small cities."
"These ten cities are our bases in this dimensional plane."
At this point, Zhou Jiaoguan pointed to the nearby light curtain. Through the dimensional gateway ahead, one could enter Cloudsky City.
Cloudsky City was one of the two large cities.
"After entering the dimensional plane, you can observe the city, but you must maintain discipline and order. Absolutely no one is allowed to leave the line on their own. If this happens, they will be immediately sent back to school."
Zhou Jiaoguan said this with a cold tone.
After speaking, he fixed his gaze on the light curtain.
He checked the time.
It seemed he was waiting for something and didn’t take immediate action.
The freshmen, seeing this, all showed expressions of confusion.
After about five minutes, three people gradually emerged from the light curtain and approached Zhou Jiaoguan.
"Brother Zhou, it's been a long time."
One of them, a rugged man with a full beard, walked over and patted Zhou Jiaoguan on the shoulder, greeting him warmly.
Besides the rugged man, there was a man and a woman, both around their mid-twenties. The woman had a tall, athletic build with a wheat-colored complexion, exuding a wild beauty. The man was tall and slim, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, looking scholarly.
"Let's introduce ourselves." Once the three had gathered, Zhou Jiaoguan pointed to the freshmen and spoke.
The bearded man spoke first, in a loud voice, "My name is 'Al Duri.' You can call me 'Du A' or 'Brother Du A'!"
"I'm 'Xiangjing Ling.' You can call me 'Ling' or 'Sister Ling.'" The tall woman introduced herself after the bearded man.
Finally, the scholarly-looking man gave a simple introduction, "My name is 'Ge Zhengdao'!"
After Al Duri, Ling, and Ge Zhengdao had introduced themselves, Zhou Jiaoguan explained the situation, "These three seniors will form a Guardian Team and join me to ensure your safety during this dimensional plane journey!"
"Remember, the dimensional plane is fraught with danger. Under no circumstances should you leave the group or act alone. The consequences will be on you."
