Somewhere, inside a dungeon, a team of five is fighting high-level beasts in a deadly battle. Five Demonic Rhinos stand in front of a girl holding a great sword. Her face and body are covered with blood from numerous wounds.
Marcia: "I can't figure out how to kill these rhinos. Every time I sever their limbs, they regenerate. Over half of my energy has already been drained."
Suddenly, a rhino charges, gathering Dark Energy in its mouth, and launches a massive energy beam at her. In response, she uses Darning Ten Thousand Sword Formation. Two attacks collide, causing a massive explosion. Then she realized she had damaged the rhinos' bodies repeatedly but never attacked their heads.
She channels her energy into her great sword, using 14T Air Blade Slide, and strikes the heads of all rhinos at full force, splitting them. Five black crystals drop from their bodies.
Finally, the rhinos are killed. Marcia heals herself with a healing pill from her space ring and erects a barrier to cultivate.
The other four team members struggle with a level-20 Black Panther for over half an hour. Marcia completes her healing and sees them in a terrible state. The Black Panther had concealed its level, and it turns out the Panther is the dungeon boss. Suddenly, its body transforms into a ten-foot giant, emanating a terrifying black aura.
Marcia channels energy into her Great Sword and performs a multi-air-fortified slide, sending a purple energy layer toward the Panther. The Panther dodges effortlessly. Angry, it produces dark energy from its mouth, firing a beam at Marcia, who struggles to dodge.
Marcia, in a critical decision, uses her kingdom's most powerful secret technique, which requires 80% of her life energy.
Marcia: "Sairian Draco-Emperor Dragon Cut of a Thousand Air Blades!"
A massive dragon-like energy descends from the sky, obliterating the Black Panther. A red crystal falls where the Panther stood. The dungeon clears, opening a portal to the outside.

Scene Skip: The Oceanic Realm
At the palace throne, Constellation of Water, Poseidon, sits deep in thought. His wife Athena asks:
Athena: "You seem troubled. What are you thinking about, Poseidon?"
Poseidon: "The Great Time is approaching. I worry for our two children—they are not yet strong. They must learn about the outside world and undergo the toughest training. That is why I consider sending them to the Academy of Nivana."
Athena: "Hmm, you have thought about sending the prince and princess there?"
Poseidon: "Sending them isn't a big matter, but will they survive? They must be made stronger. They must go, Athena."
To be continued…
