Chapter 83: The Combat Spirit Realm? The Competition Train!

Chapter 83: The Combat Spirit Realm? The Competition Train!

Every year, there are always a few newcomers with exceptional talents.

However, only a handful of these fresh faces manage to rise to the occasion.

The group spent two hours in the lounge.

During that time, they were even served coffee and desserts to replenish their energy.

Two hours later, it was precisely 11 o'clock.

Jiang Hebin checked his phone and announced, "Teammates, it's about time. We should head to the school grounds to gather."

Upon hearing this, everyone put down their pamphlets and left the room empty-handed.

In the Amnesia Spirit Realm, carrying items was strictly prohibited.

The Spirit Realm had its own set of rules, and when such restrictions were in place, Extraordinary Beings could not bring anything with them except the clothes on their backs.

In the past, some Extraordinary Beings had tried to outsmart the system by stuffing items inside their clothes or even making metal garments to wear.

But once they entered the Spirit Realm, they found themselves completely naked!

Since then, no Extraordinary Being dared to attempt such tricks again.

...

The group arrived at the school grounds, where the other newcomers were already gathered.

Many of them looked at Jiang Hebin's group with a mix of envy and jealousy.

Their jealousy wasn't directed at Zhao Zheng, who had teamed up with Song Haitang from the start.

Instead, it was aimed at Jiang Hebin and the others who had joined later.

These newcomers felt that Jiang Hebin's group had taken away their chance to team up with Song Haitang and be carried by her.

Amidst the envious and angry stares, Jiang Hebin stood out with an air of pride and arrogance, while the others in his team tried to keep a low profile.

His disdainful gaze seemed to say, "You're all worthless!"

This attitude only fueled the anger of those around him.

"Look at him, acting all smug. I'd love to beat him up and turn him into a pig!"

"Yeah, he's just asking for a beating with that attitude!"

"What's he so proud of? Maybe Song Haitang will fail this time too?"

...

These whispers had no effect on Jiang Hebin.

"One minute left, everyone get ready!" a teacher shouted.

Hearing this, everyone fell silent and held hands with their teammates, preparing for the teleportation.

All the students were lined up in groups of ten.

On Zhao Zheng's team, Song Haitang stood in the first position on the right, followed by him, and then Jiang Hebin and the others.

The minute passed quickly.

As the countdown ended, all the newcomers on the school grounds vanished.

...

A flash of white light, and Zhao Zheng regained his vision, finding himself in an unknown realm.

It seemed to be a train station, an incredibly vast one, so vast that it seemed to have no end in sight.

Zhao Zheng and his team stood on the platform, surrounded by countless other newcomers, too many to count.

People were everywhere he looked!

"Where are we?"

Wang Fei couldn't help but ask, "I thought the third layer of the Spirit Realm was supposed to be a combat arena. This doesn't look like a battle zone at all!"

No one could answer Wang Fei's question.

After all, this was the Amnesia Spirit Realm, and no one knew what to expect.

Everyone remained silent, observing their surroundings.

"Song Haitang?"

Suddenly, a voice from the side caught their attention.

They turned to see a group of newcomers approaching.

The leader of the group fixed his gaze on Song Haitang.

"I didn't expect to run into you so soon!" he exclaimed.

A tall and robust young man stood before them.

He wasn't particularly handsome, with a square face and a determined expression, resembling a tough guy.

But his sharp eyes gave off a dangerous aura, especially with the intense heat emanating from his presence.

As the young man approached, Jiang Hebin and the others could feel the air around them heating up, as if they were standing beside a blazing furnace. It was as if a moving volcano was walking towards them.

"He's... Ma Jun from Jingda University! A Nature Domain Lava Fruit Ability User!" Jiang Hebin whispered, his voice filled with surprise.

He couldn't believe that among the freshmen, Ma Jun's aura was so formidable. Even without Jiang Hebin's reminder, the crowd had already recognized Ma Jun.

Previously, in the pamphlet, there was information about him.

In the 6th month, 19th day, it was clearly stated!

"Song Haitang, by the way, we're both from Luanan City. This year, Luanan has produced some incredible talents!" Ma Jun said, glancing at Zhao Zuo, who was standing next to Song Haitang.

The "talents" he mentioned seemed to have a negative connotation.

Upon hearing Ma Jun's words, Zhao Zuo finally remembered.

He recalled that when he first arrived in this world, he had overheard his classmates at the high school's sports field discussing Ma Jun.

Ma Jun was from the second middle school, and he had obtained the Nature Domain Devil Fruit in the Holy Land, only to be snatched up by Jingda University for a special recruitment.

It was said that the mayor of Luanan City had personally visited Ma Jun's family to offer his congratulations and a reward.

However, it was unclear if Song Haitang had received a reward as well.

"Do you have a problem?" Song Haitang asked calmly, her attitude cold.

The girl had already realized that Ma Jun's intentions were not friendly.

"It's nothing." Ma Jun smiled and said, "I just wanted to see the legendary top freshman for myself..."

He sized up Song Haitang and suddenly declared, "And she's just so-so!"

If it were any other young man, they would have probably lost their temper at such a remark.

But Song Haitang's face remained serene.

In her eyes, Ma Jun's behavior was childish.

To provoke her without reason, especially in the Spirit Realm where offending others could have consequences, was simply idiotic.

"Ma Jun, when did you go blind?" Song Haitang didn't respond, but Zhao Zuo spoke up.

Zhao Zuo revealed a serious expression and said, "Such a beautiful woman, and you say she's just so-so? Do you have no respect for the law?"

As his words fell, the crowd around them struggled to hold back their laughter.

Even Song Haitang couldn't help but smile at Zhao Zuo's compliment.

Only Ma Jun's face turned dark.

He glared at Zhao Zuo, but didn't dare to take action.

It wasn't that he was afraid of Zhao Zuo, the wimp.

The current state of the Spirit Realm was unpredictable, and no one knew if there were restrictions on harming others. If he broke any rules, the consequences could be severe.

"A good-for-nothing wimp!" Ma Jun scoffed, "You have no right to speak here!"

Then, he turned to Song Haitang, "Song Haitang, your taste is questionable."

Hearing Ma Jun's insult towards Zhao Zuo, Song Haitang finally retaliated, "Go get some help!"

The girl seemed to be inexperienced in cursing, as her insult lacked impact.

Ma Jun was about to say something else when suddenly, a loud broadcast interrupted them:

"Attention to all participants of the Combat Tournament! The competition train is about to arrive at the station. Please prepare yourselves. The train will only stop for five minutes, and any participants who fail to board within the designated time will lose their eligibility to compete..."

The crowd was taken aback by the announcement.

Combat Tournament?

Competition train?

This Spirit Realm was getting stranger by the moment!

Ma Jun dared not say more and prepared to return to his team's designated area.

But before leaving, he couldn't resist throwing one last remark:

"Song Haitang, I'll show you how foolish your choice was! This combat tournament's championship is mine!"

First Chapter.
