C47 Field Experience!
From the moment Chu Yi arrived in this new world, he had grasped its full scope.
Yes, the seven continents and four oceans were all in their familiar places, and even the famous mountains and rivers hadn't shifted at all.
But that was the only constant!
These mountains and rivers were significantly larger than those in his previous life.
Naturally, the Earth itself was also vastly larger than the Earth he once knew.
By his estimates, in terms of volume alone, it was at least hundreds of times bigger than his former world!
As the flying vehicle came to a halt, the assigned mentors made their appearance.
Chu Yi's team was unique in having two mentors, unlike the other groups.
None of the students harbored any envy. Even if they did, they wouldn't dare express it.
Had they possessed Lee Zi's potential, they too might have had the luxury of a dedicated mentor to protect them.
"Alright, everyone, let's disembark."
"Remember, do not stray from the group until we give further instructions."
"We've chosen this encampment at random, and there's no telling if powerful Demonic Beasts or even Greater Demons are lurking nearby."
All the students, including Chu Yi, nodded in agreement.
Like his peers, Chu Yi was here to enhance his combat experience, not to court death.
The flying vehicle had landed smoothly.
Though termed a flying car, it more closely resembled a spaceship.
It was enormous, rivaling the size of dozens of school buses from his past life!
Such a feat was only possible thanks to the advanced technology of this era.
The students filed out one by one, with Lee Zi's mentor, a diligent Mr. Zhao, constantly by her side.
Chu Yi was aware of Lee Zi's importance, and Mr. Zhao's duty was to safeguard her.
The welfare of the other students was of lesser concern to him, but should anything befall Lee Zi, his responsibility would be immense.
"Is this the wilderness?"
"It feels so refreshing here!"
"I agree, I can feel it too!"
"Since arriving, it seems my training speed has even increased!"
Listening to his classmates, Chu Yi allowed himself a gentle smile.
Spiritual Qi...
It's possible that the world has yet to establish such precise distinctions, and the concept of Spiritual Qi might be unfamiliar. Perhaps the people of Earth haven't truly grasped the significance of Spiritual Qi.
Even though the Spiritual Qi of this world is exceedingly sparse, especially when compared to the abundant Spiritual Qi within the Immortal Demon Temple, it is, without a doubt, Spiritual Qi.
The effects of Spiritual Qi are incredibly wondrous, surpassing any miraculous elixir in power. Merely existing in an environment suffused with Spiritual Qi can significantly prolong one's life.
Without lifting a finger, the mere act of residing in a place rich with Spiritual Qi can lead to immense strength.
"So, this is what the wilderness is like..."
Lee Zi finally exhaled, breaking her half-day silence with these words.
Chu Yi eagerly responded, "Exactly. Training in such an environment can double the effectiveness of our efforts. If it were possible, I'd love to stay here indefinitely..."
Lee Zi gave Chu Yi a sidelong glance and retorted, "If you stayed here, you might not even have bones left by tomorrow!"
Chu Yi pondered for a moment before reluctantly nodding in agreement.
"Bang!"
While Chu Yi and Lee Zi were conversing, a thunderous noise erupted from nearby, followed by a mournful cry.
They exchanged puzzled looks, unsure of what had just occurred.
Teacher Zhao, standing next to Lee Zi, then explained, "That's the sound of the school and government's experts clearing out potential threats in the area."
Chu Yi now understood.
This location would serve as their encampment for the upcoming month. To ensure their safety, it was imperative to remove any lurking dangers.
Despite the rapid advancement of technology and the myriad of methods available for environmental scanning, Demonic Beasts were not to be underestimated.
Many Demonic Beasts possessed unique abilities that allowed them to effortlessly evade detection.
As a result, the most secure approach often involved a combination of thorough, expert-led searches supplemented by technological surveillance.
Shortly after the initial blast, several more booms echoed through the air. Chu Yi even caught sight of an enormous figure materializing in the void.
It was an eagle-like Demonic Beast, reminiscent of a gyrfalcon, but on a much grander scale. With a quick assessment, Chu Yi estimated that this formidable Demonic Beast's wingspan would easily exceed a hundred meters when fully extended!
This was somewhat over the top.
Consider that in my previous life, even the largest airplanes weren't this extreme. Yet compared to the python Demonic Beast that emerged during the apocalyptic disaster, it was relatively small.
In the realm of Demonic Beasts, the more powerful the creature, the larger its size.
Chu Yi had no doubts about the terrifying strength of this Demonic Beast. It had certainly surpassed the Silver Level and reached the stature of a Great Demon!
As expected, Teacher Zhao's voice echoed nearby.
"Our luck doesn't seem to be the best. Who would have thought we'd encounter a flying Demonic Beast here?"
A hint of gravity was evident in Teacher Zhao's gaze.
A Great Demon was a Demonic Beast that had reached the rank of a General, inherently fearsome. Some special Great Demons had even awakened their unique divine powers, making them even more formidable!
Humans stood little chance against Demonic Beasts of the same level. Those Great Demons that had awakened their divine powers were on par with the human race's genetic warriors. The outcome would hinge on the disparity in their divine powers and genetic development.
Generally speaking, humans were vastly outmatched by these Demonic Beasts.
Among them, the flying varieties were particularly challenging to deal with.
"However, we've come well-prepared."
A smile crept onto Teacher Zhao's lips.
Chu Yi soon discovered what Teacher Zhao's idea of preparation entailed.
Suddenly, three beams of light shot up from the ground next to the flying car they had been in, racing towards the sky at an incredible speed.
In the blink of an eye, the previously awe-inspiring, sky-soaring Demonic Beast was pierced with two gaping holes. Accompanied by a mournful cry that echoed across the heavens, its massive body plummeted to the ground.
Chu Yi watched as several figures dashed out, apparently heading towards where the flying Demonic Beast had fallen.
"Pulse cannon..."
A slight twitch formed at the corner of Chu Yi's mouth. He hadn't anticipated the school being so thoroughly prepared that they even brought along a Pulse Cannon.
Clearly, the teachers had assembled it right after disembarking.
The Pulse Cannon's damage was directly proportional to the energy infused into it. With a few modifications and a sufficient amount of energy, the Pulse Cannon could become the stuff of legends...
Star Destroyer!
This was a fearsome weapon capable of obliterating a small asteroid in a single blast.
"Don't worry, the school is well-prepared, or else they wouldn't have brought you all here."
Before long, teachers bustled in and out, swiftly clearing a large swath of land.
Numerous makeshift rooms sprang up in no time at all.
Chu Yi gazed at the camp that resembled a miniature town and was utterly astonished.
Yet, considering the world's advanced strength and technology, he managed to come to terms with it.
"After lunch, your training will commence this afternoon."
"I know we've gone over safety many times, but I must stress it again!"
"Remember, staying alive is paramount!"
Teacher Cang, as always, underscored the importance of safety. This wasn't due to an excess of caution; rather, it was because many talented individuals lost their lives in the outskirts each year due to negligence.
"Alright, make sure to return before nightfall."
"The wilderness at night is perilous, as you've probably seen from the reports!"
Indeed, Chu Yi was aware that even seasoned adventurers sought out a campsite at dusk, banding together for safety.
"If anyone fails to return by evening, I absolutely will not dispatch any teachers to search for you!"
Teacher Cang cast a stern glance at the students, brimming with eagerness, who seemed to dismiss his warnings.
"Your lives are incredibly valuable, but so are those of the teachers!"
"Now, let's get ready for lunch..."
Having delivered his customary address, Teacher Cang withdrew.
Lunch in the field couldn't match the comforts of school or home, but it was quite satisfactory overall.
"Alright, time to set out!"
Post-lunch, at Teacher Zhao's command, Chu Yi and Lee Zi rose to their feet.
They were part of a small team with three others, but Chu Yi and Lee Zi had the exclusive company of Teacher Zhao, so they wouldn't be sticking with the group.
Across the camp, aside from the logistics staff, all students and teachers were now mobilizing.
Chu Yi, Lee Zi, and the rest of their team moved together, but as they ventured deeper into the forest, the duo decided to part ways with the other three.
The trio was well aware of the gap between themselves and Lee Zi and Chu Yi.
Without further ado, Lee Zi and Chu Yi meandered down a narrow path winding through the tranquil forest. The stillness of the woods betrayed no hint of danger. Chu Yi had always enjoyed hiking in his past life, but the pristine environment he now found himself in was beyond comparison. He had never encountered such untouched natural beauty in his former world. Here, everything was peaceful and in harmony.
Moreover, the concentration of spiritual energy was significantly higher than outside, adding to the comfort of the setting. And having Lee Zi, a stunning companion, by his side only enhanced the experience. The only discomfort came from the elusive Teacher Zhao, hidden from sight, but even that couldn't detract from the idyllic scene.
Yet, this perfect moment was fleeting, as Chu Yi's expression suddenly shifted. "What's wrong?" Lee Zi asked. Despite her exceptional talent and months of learning that had given her a survival edge in the wild over Chu Yi, when it came to perception, Chu Yi had always been confident in his abilities.
Before Chu Yi could respond, Lee Zi also picked up on something. Her face turned grave in an instant. "These vibrations and their frequency don't seem to be from a single Demonic Beast," she deduced. "There are probably about five of them, and they're not large in size." "They must be Demonic Beasts known for their speed!"
