At the same time.

When Malevolence sensed the metallic behemoth charge towards him, it did not have the slightest bit of fear. There was only a feral instinct, an instinct that told it to fight!

Roar!

Malevolence roared angrily, revealing its sharp claws.

In the next moment, Malevolence’s four legs kicked out abruptly, like a gust of wind, pouncing towards the mecha that charged toward it.

Inside the mecha, facing sharp claws that could easily tear apart the body of the Mecha, Qin Yue was so calm that there was not the slightest sense of urgency on his face.

After a breath’s time, Malevolence had already pounced in front of him.

And at that moment, the Scarlet Pike in Sky Hunter’s hand also suddenly moved.

At the instant the pike was struck out, an intense ear-piercing sound suddenly resounded around the experimental field.

In the blink of an eye, a spray of blood, limbs, and an unknown white liquid flew through the air around the huge experimental field.

Boom!

Before the blood hit the ground, a deep pit was created in the experimental field.

In the deep pit lay Malevolence, whose skull had been pierced through!

“One strike?”

Qin Yue was very surprised as he looked at the bloodstained pike in his hand, and then to Malevolence, which lay dead on the ground.

According to Qin Yue’s estimation, even if he piloted Sky Hunter and used Tai Chi, he would probably have needed three moves to finish off Malevolence.

Unexpectedly, it was he who had underestimated Sky Hunter’s power.

After the experiment was over, Qin Yue piloted the mecha back to the training ground and exited the mecha pilot cabin.

The originally noisy crowd instantly fell silent when they saw Qin Yue walk out.

They cast envious, jealous, and adoring gazes at him.

On the other side, the shock in Wang Yangming’s heart had not dissipated even after a long time, even though he had expected Qin Yue to be able to kill this Alien Beast.

He just had never thought that Qin Yue would be able to kill it in a single strike.

Such an outcome far exceeded Wang Yangming’s expectations. In his heart, his perception of Qin Yue could not help but rise a little.

Today, Qin Yue had given him all sorts of unexpected performances, which made him very proud.

At the same time, there was an inexplicable sense of bitterness amidst his excitement.

After all, in comparison, when he was Qin Yue’s age, he was only able to operate a mecha skillfully.

As for fighting against Alien Beasts, he had spent a long time learning how to do so.

“This kid’s strength isn’t bad. As expected of the first person in history to enter the school, using only a Training Mecha to beat up a Bodyguard Mecha in the trial!

“However, young people tend to be impatient. We can’t praise him too much!”

Looking at Qin Yue walking towards him, Wang Yangming muttered to himself in his heart. He reminded himself not to let Qin Yue grow complacent.

“I’ve been watching the live recording. Your performance isn’t bad, but I was much better than you when I was your age!”

Wang Yangming patted Qin Yue’s shoulder without shame or reservations. He did not know what modesty was at all.

“That was just a domesticated Alien Beast. A real Alien Beast’s combat strength is much higher than those domesticated and imprisoned Alien Beasts!

“Work hard to grow stronger!”

After saying that, Wang Yangming waved his hand and turned his head to address the students behind him.

“The Desolate Star Trial begins now!”

“Board the battleship!”

Battleship was a general term of address.

Like mecha, it was divided into six levels.

From high to low, they were: Space Fortress, Mothership, Commander, Expeditionary, Battleship, Cruiser.

This time, the ship that was responsible for transporting Qin Yue and the others to the desolate star was the of the lowest class, a cruiser.

Although it was the lowest class, the cruiser’s size was comparable to a small town. It was huge.

Soon, Qin Yue and the others followed their teacher, Wang Yangming, to the cruiser’s location.

“F*ck, this is my first time seeing a warship. Oh my god, it’s magnificent!”

“Hehe, I can’t wait to board it and experience it for myself!”

When they arrived in front of the warship, many students were attracted by the majestic sight of the cruiser and had excited expressions on their faces.

It was the same for Qin Yue. This was also the first time he had seen a ship that could travel in space.

“Alright, hurry up and get on the cruiser. We are about to set off!”

Wang Yangming waved his hand and led the seven teams into the battleship.

After entering the cruiser…

Wang Yangming led everyone straight to a lounge.

In the lounge, there were sofa-like chairs. As soon as they entered the room, everyone found a place where they could see the stars clearly and sat down.

Very soon, the cruiser started to move away from the planet they lived on and embarked out toward the endless void of space.

…

Qin Yue’s eyes had filled with longing as he stared at the bright specks of light that filled his view.

“This is the universe huh? I wonder if my previous world is also in this universe.”

Looking out at the vast expanse of space, Qin Yue could not help but ponder on that question.

Of course, all the students in the elite class were the same. It could be considered their first time leaving the safety of the federation to travel the stars.

They knew about the universe, but they had never seen it with their own eyes. Naturally, they were filled with countless questions.

An hour later, when Wang Yangming saw that it was almost time, he coughed a few times to break the short silence.

“Cough Cough!”

“Next, I will announce the specific conditions of the trial you will be undergoing after we arrive at the desolate star!”

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone turned around and paid attention.

Their ears perked up as they listened carefully.

“After arriving at the desolate star, each of your teams will have a set amount of missions

“Each team will need to hunt fifty Disaster-level beasts

“Of course, if you think that the coordination between your team members is very good, then you only need to kill two beasts above Disaster-level or even higher!”

Speaking of beasts above Disaster-level, Wang Yangming frowned, and his expression suddenly turned solemn.

“I’m should very clear about the topic of cooperation. In the end, you should just obediently hunt down the Disaster-level beasts. Anything above Disaster-level, with your current skills, will probably be too much for you!”

“The next thing is that I also want to specifically remind all of you that you’re not allowed to attack each other!”

As he spoke, Wang Yangming’s sharp gaze swept across everyone present.

Many people’s hair stood on end from his gaze.

“Attacking each other is the one thing that can not be tolerated. On the contrary, if you encounter each other during the trial and another team is in danger, you must help each other if conditions allow it!”

“Another point, on the desolate planet, there are many unknown dangers.”

“If you encounter anyone or anything that you do not recognize, you must maintain a high level of vigilance around them!”

Everyone nodded solemnly when they heard that.

“Teacher Wang, we will do as you request.”

“We are all compatriots and share the same bloodline. We will not kill each other!”

“Right, our team promises that such a situation will not happen.”

“Our team too!”

“…”

Qin Yue, who sat in the corner, raised his hand and stood up.

“Teacher, can you tell us about the situation on this desolate planet that we are going to?”

Although Qin Yue did not cheer along with the rest because he still wanted to find out more about the trial.

The most important thing was to understand more about the geography of the desolate star. That way, it would be easier to take precautions for potentially unforeseen events..
