Chapter 92: The New Dark Horse, the Canine Girl!

Chapter 92: The New Dark Horse, the Canine Girl!

This test was a measure of strength.

Very few people could advance to the next level.

Even Tang Zichen, after testing her strength, remained at the third tier.

The requirements to move from the third to the fourth tier are quite high, requiring five criteria to be met.

This makes the jump from the third to the fourth tier quite significant, and difficult to achieve.

The gap between the fourth and fifth tiers is even larger, with countless individuals unable to reach it in their lifetimes.

Tang Zichen, for instance, has only reached the fourth-tier standard in terms of attack power; her other abilities remain within the third tier.

However, she is considered a quasi-fourth-tier powerhouse.

Regarding the results of this test, Teacher Liu was quite aware of the reality.

It's not possible for each trip to the secret realm to result in students advancing a tier; if that were the case, the national standards for strength would be far too low.

Later on, even surviving several trips to the secret realms might not lead to an increase in strength.

Knowing this, why does Wu University insist on regularly testing strength?

Because.

As long as one survives the secret realm, their strength is bound to increase somewhat.

Seeing oneself gradually become stronger serves as the greatest motivation for the students!

Put simply, it's a motivational tactic, inspiring students to maintain a spirit of struggle, never slacken, and keep pushing forward…

Ren Qianqian emerged as the dark horse in this student strength test!

This canine-like girl, after achieving 165 points of potential, saw a dramatic increase in strength, reaching the third-tier standard in attack power, speed, and reflexes.

She surpassed Zhao Zheng, Cao Yu, and Yan Kai, becoming a third-tier powerhouse!

She also became the second third-tier powerhouse among the new students at Wu University!

When her test results were announced, many of her peers envied her.

Especially Yan Kai.

Who was driven to jealousy.

He was an S4 Compatible, ranked third in the class for his exceptional talent!

In Yan Kai's view, he should have been the one to benefit from Tang Zichen's leadership!

...

Although Ren Qianqian's current strength appears on par with class leader Tang Zichen on the surface.

If the two were to fight, Tang Zichen could easily defeat her.

One has just entered the third tier, while the other is nearing the fourth; there's no comparison.

Most importantly, Tang Zichen's S2 talent, "Telekinesis," is known as unbeatable among those at the same tier!

Once Tang Zichen uses her telekinesis, she can effortlessly control anyone of the same tier, making it impossible for them even to approach her, let alone win.

To put it bluntly.

Among the global new students at the same tier, Tang Zichen's strength is unmatched!

Only Chen Ye could suppress her!

...

The next morning.

In the classroom.

As soon as the class bell rang, Teacher Liu appeared on time to teach.

However, today, Teacher Liu had a long face, clearly in a bad mood.

The students were puzzled.

They remembered that yesterday, during the test, Teacher Liu was so happy about Ren Qianqian reaching the third tier that he was overjoyed!

Why then, just overnight, did his mood change?

As to why Teacher Liu was unhappy, he did not say, and the students naturally did not dare to inquire further.

"Regarding the fourth secret realm, if you're not confident in your strength, you can choose to go later. Just focus on improving yourself for now. After all, the rule at Wu University is three secret realm trips per year, as long as you achieve that, you can continue to stay at the university."

Although Teacher Liu was in a bad mood, he was still serious about teaching.

"Also, bear in mind, if you don't enter a secret realm for more than five years, the plum blossom mark on your arm will disappear, meaning you will permanently be excluded from the secret realms and can no longer enter."

A student couldn't help but ask, "Teacher, what if someone enters the secret realm multiple times in the first year but not in the second year? How does that count?"

Teacher Liu answered, "The rules set by Wu University are not rigid. As long as you enter the secret realm six times in the first year, you can choose not to go in the second year."

Hearing this, a naive girl said, "So, the graduation requirement at Wu University is to complete 12 secret realm adventures? If I complete 12 trips in one year, can I graduate directly?"\

As soon as she finished speaking, everyone burst into laughter.

Teacher Liu also rarely showed a smile: "You can only enter the secret realm once every two months, a maximum of six times a year, so you can't go twelve times."

The girl then realized why everyone was laughing and immediately blushed.

Teacher Liu continued: "Next, let's talk about the content of Secret Realm No. 4!"

"The first three secret realms are just for newcomers. Starting from Secret Realm No. 4, not only does the danger level significantly increase, but there are also various restrictions... Everyone must be very careful!"

Then.

Teacher Liu operated his laptop and projected an image of a monster on the blackboard.

It was an insect-like monster with eight legs, resembling a spider but with a long tail.

The monster's face was disgusting, somewhat resembling a young girl's...

Upon seeing this monster, Chen Ye frowned.

He certainly recognized this creature.

The Facehugger!

A precursor to the Alien.

Chen Ye's frown was not out of fear, but rather because he found the creature utterly disgusting.

Additionally.

If there are Facehuggers in Secret Realm No. 4, there must also be Aliens.

"This is a parasitic monster!"

Teacher Liu's voice rang out: "Because it's so ugly, the officials haven't even named it."

"It's not large, only the size of a basketball, and its attack power isn't strong. However, in Secret Realm No. 4, you need to be especially cautious of it!"

"Because it's very good at hiding, likes to lurk in dark places, and never attacks directly, always ambushing!"

"Its mission is to parasitize. Once it leaps onto a human face, it will use its tail to lock tightly around the human's throat, causing them to suffocate and faint, making it easier for it to lay eggs inside the human body."

"If you get parasitized by this kind of monster, don't try to cut it off with a knife, its blood is highly corrosive... Also, I suggest that if you are parasitized, you should commit suicide immediately!"

"Otherwise, you will die very painfully!"

"Next, I'll show you a video..."

As he spoke, Teacher Liu operated his laptop, and a video appeared on the projector screen.

This video clearly recorded the entire process of a human being attacked by a Facehugger, parasitized, and an Alien bursting out of the chest!

It was disgusting!

Especially at the end of the video, when the Alien burst out of the chest, the human's agonizing screams made the students' skin crawl.

Only Chen Ye.

Remained calm.

He had seen this kind of scene many times in movies.

Teacher Liu continued: "You might think that this monster, though disgusting, isn't strong and that Secret Realm No. 4 doesn't seem too difficult as long as you're careful."

"Don't think that way!"

"This parasitic monster is just a minor creature in the realm. The real monsters of Secret Realm No. 4 are these!"

This time.

Teacher Liu displayed two images.

One was a regular Alien, the other an Alien Queen!

"Since the setting of Secret Realm No. 4 is on a desolate planet, the officials have named these creatures alien species. This smaller one is a regular alien species, the larger one is the alien queen."

"Their relationship is that of subordination, much like ants and the queen ant."

"And the condition for receiving extra rewards in Secret Realm No. 4 is no longer about competing to kill the most monsters, but to kill the alien queen."

"Whoever kills the alien queen will receive an extra reward!"

At this point.

Teacher Liu subconsciously glanced at Tang Zichen, then continued: "Since the inception of Secret Realm No. 4, no one has ever achieved the extra reward."

"I don't want you to try."

"Because, it's an almost impossible task!"

"The Alien Queen itself has the strength of a third tier, and moreover, it's protected by thousands of alien species..."
