“Ahhh-!” Whenever Crete heard the shaking noises of the ground in the game, he was struck with fear.

This monster is too terrifying.

After all, these young people only practiced their skills on magical beasts and had never placed themselves before such invincible opponents.

But now, Tyrants and Lickers had become the nightmare of these outlanders.

Under suffocating suppression, they had to be on guard every second, and their nerves were under a lot of tension.

However, after they escaped from their powerful enemy with a narrow margin, the sense of achievement was so great that they couldn’t find words to describe it.

When one was trapped under life-and-death pressure, a huge amount of potential would erupt from one’s body.

“Wow! This oriental lady is so beautiful!” Obviously, Crete had encountered Ada at this moment. “How come such a beautiful lady appeared in this place? Are you here for me? Um… You smell so good!”

He flirted with her casually.

“Aw!” His neck was instantly broken after he got close to her.

Looking at the words ‘GAME OVER’, he remembered the warning written on the small blackboard. [Play the games in a civil way or bear the consequences.]

…

It was afternoon when people walked out of the shop.

The clean and neat streets were lined with tall buttonwood trees. Although Fang Qi preferred the misty scenery of Jiangnan in Jiuhua City and the elegant antique building styles in Yuanyang City, this city had its own charms.

Built beside a river and mountains, the city looked magnificent. There were fancy castles at the top of the mountains. Lower down were the business zones and residential areas for rich people. In the middle was a big street winding its way up to the mountain top.

Horses and carriages could be frequently seen on the street. Occasionally, teams of city guards walked past people.

In the distant was a huge mountain. The lower ranges were covered by green plants. Fewer plants could be seen higher up, and the top was covered by white snow.

This city was a refreshing sight for Fang Qi.

“It was so thrilling!” The three young people were still savoring their experiences in the game. They were the two main characters in the game instead of themselves. If they got familiar with the combat techniques of the characters, they might be able to pass some of the levels. After all, they were only playing at the lowest difficulty.

“Huo! Huo!” The blond young man named Ron mimicked the combat techniques in the game. “It’s so cool! It seems like these moves are easier to learn than the level 1 battle techniques.”

“These techniques can help me kill one zombie with ease!” The girl added in excitement.

“Dadada! Those magical firearms are awesome!” Joseph mimicked the moves.

Most importantly, they felt like it was easier to memorize the moves that they learned in this strange mystical realm.

They were on their way to their academy.

“Wow… Look over there! Elves! They’re elves from the Silver Moon Forest!”

“Why are they here?” Although elves would come to the Morning Light Empire occasionally, most people never saw them paying a visit that was as formal as this.

There were few elves in human nations. The elves worshipped their own gods and had their own nations and cities. They seldom had dealings with human nations, but the Morning Light Empire was one of the rare exceptions.

There were a little more than ten elves. The elf in the middle wore a pure white cloak while the others wore the same style of light armor and carried exquisite silver longswords. These longswords were different from the big swords that human warriors in this nation used; they were even slimmer than the longsword of the oriental shop owner. They had thought that the shop owner’s sword was the thinnest sword there was.

These elves’ bodies were slender, and their ears were a bit sharper and narrower than those of humans but not that extreme. The differences weren’t so obvious. If these elves covered their ears with their hair, it would be hard to tell them apart from humans.

Maybe the only difference lay in the facial features. The elves’ facial features were much more defined and exquisite compared to most humans; they seemed to be favored ones of nature.

The young people watched as the elves elegantly rode down the big avenue in the center of the city on some elaphure deer.

“Look who came to greet them…”

They heard a low chirp and saw griffins with golden feathers flying down the peak of the mountain in a neat wing-shaped formation.

“The Golden Griffin Knight Legion!”

“It must feel great to fly in the sky riding on a griffin!”

“I hope that one day I can join this knight legion!” The young people looked up with envy.

The Golden Griffin Knight Legion was one of the most famous knight legions in the Morning Light Empire. Joining such a knight legion was every young person’s brightest dream.

“Stop watching! Let’s hurry back to the academy!” Cia reminded them.

“We’re finished! If we’re late, we’ll be in big trouble!” Joseph’s expression changed.

…

In this nation which put great value in fundamental combat techniques, how were their academies?

They placed great importance in real combat since all battle skills must be used in battles.

The beginners, including both fighters and mages, were treated the same under this rule. On the meadow near the academy, many fighters and mages, who weren’t even level 1 or just reached level 1 or level 2, were practicing each day with big wooden swords, magic staffs, or other weapons. They practiced either in groups or one-on-one.

But today, it seemed a little different.

The students stood together in a neat group. It seemed like there was more than one class; several classes were gathered here.

Before them was a middle-aged swordsman with an unshaved face.

Beside him was a valiant-looking woman in armor. A badge in the shape of a golden griffin was pinned on her chest plate, and her blond hair was tightly pulled up in a bun on the back of her head.

When the several young people hurried over, many of the students snickered.

The woman frowned slightly.

“They are late! People dare to be late even on such an occasion.”

“They probably don’t know about today’s special occasion!” A luxuriously clothed young man said in a low voice. His thin and long face looked proud, and he seemed to be quite popular among the students. The moment he said that, some others chimed in.

“They are just bumpkins from the countryside anyways,” a silver-haired handsome young man said.

At this moment, the instructor coughed slightly and said, “Now that everyone is here, we’ll begin today’s combat practice. As usual, you can practice in groups or one to one.”

“Um? The instructor is not going to punish us for being late?” Joseph and his companions were baffled since this instructor was usually very strict.

However, they had other things to worry about.

It seemed like other students had paired off already, which left the three of them alone.

“Hello, guys.” At this moment, the luxuriously dressed young man with an arrogant expression walked over to them and said, “If you have no one to practice with, do you want to practice with us?”

Joseph and his companions were startled since they had heard that these people came from unusual backgrounds even though they were not from the same class.

Tolf, the luxuriously dressed young man, obviously had good talent, and it was said that his father was an aristocrat.

They immediately found an open space.

“Thank you,” Joseph said in a hurry.

They had thought that no one would like to practice with people like them.

“Thank you?” The silver-haired young man snickered and looked at them as if they were morons, and he said, “Idiots.”

The three young people froze slightly. “What do you mean?”

“It’s natural that people like you don’t know about this.” The luxuriously dressed young man walked up and patted Joseph on the shoulder while saying in a low voice, “We’ll make good use of you foils to show off our strength.”

“Foils?” The three young people stared at them in bafflement.

“She is a knight from the Golden Griffin Knight Legion, and she is here to choose talented fighters to train as candidate knights in the legion.”

“Now, do you know why we chose you guys?” He snickered and said, “You guys are perfect foils for us to show off our abilities to her.”

The expressions of Joseph and his two companions changed slightly.

What? We are late for such an occasion?!

Looking at the people before them, their faces turned ashen. Today, they would probably become foils to send others to their peak and help them reach their dreams.

“You’re a few truly pathetic rats.”
