After some time, the spacecraft landed.
This wasn't a spaceport, but a desolate wasteland.
When everyone exited the spacecraft, they found themselves facing a desert.
Giant spacecraft were frequently taking off and landing around them.
Simultaneously, numerous mechs were patrolling.
In the sky, suspended among the clouds, were colossal spacecraft.
Even higher, two suns hung in the sky. One was blue, the other purple, emitting different rays of light.
"Why are there two suns?" someone wondered.
"Where is this place? The environment is terrible!"
Many people looked unhappy; the air here was simply too thin.
It was completely unlike Douluo Star.
They had to mobilize their soul power to adjust their bodies' adaptability.
If ordinary people were in such an environment, they would definitely feel suffocated.
Even survival could be a problem.
A team approached from the front; they were soldiers.
The leader was a tall figure with a gleaming star on his shoulder, a Rear Admiral-level officer.
He was in full military uniform and looked to be around forty years old.
He saluted Xiao Qi, and the two shook hands, exchanging a few words in low voices.
Xiao Qi returned to the front of the students and said in a deep voice:
"We have arrived at our destination. This is a planetary system that we are colonizing and occupying.
The environment here is suitable for human survival.
Next, each of you will receive a Locator; be sure to protect it.
It will not only allow me to know your location, but also record everything that happens during your assessment.
In addition, you will receive a Supply Pack containing a day's worth of water and food."
At this point, Xiao Qi's gaze swept across everyone:
"From now on, you are mercenaries and will be deployed on the battlefield.
Everything you gain on the battlefield, such as killing enemies, will earn you a certain amount of Shrek Badges.
Even if you are eventually eliminated, you can exchange these badges for resources at Shrek Academy.
Those who eventually pass and are admitted to Shrek Academy will receive even more rewards.
You will soon be transported to the battlefield area, and your mission is to survive for the next three days, or return here through the Locator.
Those who can return here will receive extra points. Now, distribute the Locators and supplies."
After Xiao Qi finished speaking, the accompanying staff distributed Locators and Supply Packs.
Nan Xuanyu examined his and found that, besides the recording function, the Locator only had a simple positioning function.
It could display a map within a certain range.
But the map was very crude, and many places didn't even have detailed terrain.
The Supply Pack contained three bottles of water, each 500 milliliters, and two high-calorie compressed food bars.
Besides that, there was nothing else.
Once the supplies were distributed, everyone was arranged to board transport planes and fly far away.
During the flight, they encountered strange birds attacking the soul-guided planes.
The pilots controlled the planes to bomb the creatures, which drove them away.
Later, everyone learned that all the creatures on this planet had a kind of Creature Core in their heads.
This Creature Core was the source of these creatures' ability to absorb elemental energy.
It was similar to a Soul Master's mental sea, only it was solidified.
Soul Masters could use this Creature Core to aid in cultivation, which was helpful in improving their mental power.
Obtaining such Creature Cores could also be used to exchange for Merit.
Nan Xuanyu was overjoyed when he heard this. Treasures that could enhance mental power were something he had to collect more of.
Those Creature Cores were a great choice, whether for cultivation or exchanging for Merit!
After a while, the transport planes landed, and the examinees were more than five hundred kilometers away from the base.
When they descended to an altitude of two hundred meters above the ground, the officer ordered everyone to disembark. Disembark? At two hundred meters!
Everyone was dumbfounded.
"Quick, jump out or throw yourselves out."
The officer speaking had soul rings lighting up around his feet, with seven soul rings visible.
Falling from a great height was also considered part of the assessment.
Although they were afraid, everyone had to jump out one after another.
The sounds of chaos filled the air.
Nan Xuanyu, with Qian Lei and Liu Feng, at about fifty meters from the air, waved his hand, using Water Element Control.
Instantly, a thick layer of ice appeared beneath their feet.
Carrying the three of them, they landed smoothly on the ground.
Dong Qianqiu and Lan Mengqin had snow dancing beneath their feet as they descended from the sky.
The dancing snow turned into a whirlwind, carrying their delicate bodies as if they were riding the clouds.
They looked at ease.
Everyone landed, and the other examinees also displayed their abilities, descending to the ground.
This was considered the first stage of the assessment; everyone had passed the two-hundred-meter high-altitude drop.
"From now on, we'll listen to you."
Bing Tianliang, with Yu Tian and Lin Donghui, came to Nan Xuanyu and said.
Lan Mengqin and Dong Qianqiu also landed and walked over.
The eight of them gathered together.
They had discussed it before; Nan Xuanyu was strong and smart, so he would lead and command everyone to complete the assessment.
Nan Xuanyu nodded and looked at everyone:
"Then let's agree on a few things. First, everyone must follow my instructions as we agreed earlier.
As you all know, this is a real battlefield, and we must take it seriously. What we will face are true life-and-death trials."
Bing Tianliang nodded and looked at Lan Mengqin.
Lan Mengqin shrugged:
"If it really endangers our lives, we'll run separately, don't blame me!"
Nan Xuanyu said:
"Of course, if our lives are really in danger, we can only do what we must.
The second point is that we need to collect as many Creature Cores as possible, not only to enhance our mental power, but also to exchange for Merit Badges."
Everyone nodded, having no objections.
"Third, we need to determine the rules for distributing loot in advance, so we don't end up fighting among ourselves because of unfair distribution.
That would be very dangerous."
Hearing this, everyone frowned.
Involving interests, such a sensitive issue, was indeed a big problem.
Lan Mengqin asked, "How do you suggest we divide it?"
Nan Xuanyu said:
"We have eight people; the loot will be divided into ten portions. I am the team leader, and I will take three portions.
The others will each get one portion.
We are a team, and this is our first cooperation, so it's a relatively even distribution."
Lan Mengqin smiled:
"You call this an even distribution? Why do you get three portions?"
The others also looked puzzled; this was clearly not an even distribution.
Nan Xuanyu said in a deep voice:
"I am the team leader, and I have a great responsibility to command the entire team.
With me, I can guarantee not only that I can help everyone improve their strength, but also that we can get more loot!"
With that, Nan Xuanyu suddenly activated his Ancestral Dragon Bloodline, and five orange-gold, beast-level soul rings rose from his feet.
They were dazzling.
Instantly, everyone felt a great pressure, their hearts trembling, staring intently at his five soul rings.
Everyone gasped, this... how could this be possible?
