After the teachers finished their instructions regarding the practical training, Lin Chen walked towards Mu Nujiao's position, but before he could reach her, Mu Nujiao saw him and hurriedly left.
When Lin Chen saw Mu Nujiao again, someone else had appeared beside her—it was Mu Ningxue.
Lin Chen appeared beside them with a smile, and he didn't know what Mu Ningxue and Mu Nujiao had chatted about earlier, but now the two girls were like sisters, chatting and laughing, treating Lin Chen as an outsider.
Mu Ningxue took Mu Nujiao on a tour of the Imperial Capital, and the two of them constantly shuttled through the various shopping malls in the Imperial Capital, while Lin Chen became a bag-carrying errand boy, following behind them.
Finally, evening arrived, but Lin Chen discovered that Mu Nujiao and Mu Ningxue had no intention of returning to Imperial Capital Academy; instead, they went back to the apartment Mu Ningxue rented outside.
A delighted Lin Chen fantasized about going all out tonight, but while imagination was beautiful, reality was cruel; the two girls mercilessly banished Lin Chen to the guest room, as if they had reached some kind of consensus, leaving Lin Chen to sleep alone while they shared a bed.
Lin Chen was helpless against the two girls' strict defense, but fortunately, they didn't know about Bibi Dong's existence, so Lin Chen could still return to the Spirit Realm for enjoyment.
The following days were much the same; the three of them traveled through the streets and alleys of the Imperial Capital, and Lin Chen was both in pain and happy every day.
The joy came from being accompanied by two peerless beauties; Lin Chen not only feasted his eyes but also attracted countless envious glances, satisfying his small vanity.
The pain was that Mu Ningxue and Mu Nujiao's defense was extremely strong, giving Lin Chen no opportunity whatsoever.
Lin Chen could only helplessly choose to accept, transforming into a good boy, silently accompanying the two girls, waiting for the opportunity to conquer them one by one in the future.
Time flew by, and five days passed in a flash; during these days, Mo Fan also used all his savings to upgrade his Nether Wolf Beast, and his Nether Wolf Beast successfully broke through to the War General Level.
After all the teachers and students of Mingzhu Academy gathered, the teachers gave another round of instructions; after all, outdoor practical training was no small matter, and they all hoped that the students would return safely.
The instructors of Mingzhu Academy brought the students to the Imperial Capital Academy's conference hall; today's exchange student meeting was to be led by Dean Song He of Imperial Capital Academy, who would explain the practical training matters.
The students from Mingzhu Academy and Imperial Capital Academy were going to the same place for practical training, so their meeting was held together.
"The destination for this practical training is Jinlin City, in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River Plain!" Dean Song He announced.
"Jinlin City? How come I've never heard of such a city!" Jingjing, who was very knowledgeable about geography, couldn't help but ask.
She was a genius with an astonishing memory, remembering all cities in the country very clearly, but she had indeed never heard of this Jinlin City that Dean Song He mentioned.
"This Jinlin City is a bit special because it was erased from the map fifteen years ago," said Teacher Qiu Yuhua of Mingzhu Academy slowly.
"Erased from the map?"
As soon as Teacher Qiu Yuhua's words fell, everyone was stunned; for a city to be directly flattened, what an exaggerated thing that was.
Dean Song He sighed and explained, "Fifteen years ago, a demon disaster occurred in Dongting Lake; the over-proliferating demons attacked the city, and fortunately, a mage traveling in the wilderness detected this disaster and notified the government to evacuate the population in advance.
The very next day, the demons attacked the city, and those who didn't manage to leave were all buried within that Jinlin City!"
When Dean Song He spoke of this matter, he was filled with emotion, and a hint of sadness couldn't help but surface on his face.
"So, isn't that just a desolate city now?" asked a student from Imperial Capital Academy.
Dean Song He nodded and continued, "Ten years ago, it was still a paradise for demons, but in recent years, many hunter mages have sent back news that most of the demons there have disappeared, and we have received preliminary confirmation that Jinlin City is no longer as terrifying as it once was."
Dean Song He took a sip of water and continued, "The purpose of sending you to Jinlin City for practical training this time is because I need you to collect data from that desolate city.
Although the entire demon tribe there has migrated, many different types of creatures still wander in Jinlin City, and what you need to do is to scout as many locations as possible in this city, recording how many Servant-level demons and how many War General Level creatures you encounter."
Upon hearing this, many people breathed a sigh of relief; if it was just collecting data, the difficulty of this practical training was not great.
"Is it just statistical data?" Shen Mingxiao of Mingzhu Academy couldn't help but ask.
Dean Song He said, "That's right, we need to publish a paper on whether to rebuild Jinlin City, so the data you collect is very important.
The premise for Jinlin City to be rebuilt is that we need to assess the dangers within it."
As soon as Dean Song He uttered these words, everyone felt a much heavier burden on their shoulders.
At this moment, Luo Song foolishly asked, "Dean, you asked us to count the number of Servant-level and War General Level demons, but do we not need to count Commander-level demons?"
Dean Song He smiled slightly and said casually, "If you encounter Commander-level demons and can return alive, that would be quite remarkable!"
Although Dean Song He spoke very casually, all the students couldn't help but shiver.
The terrifying degree of Commander-level demons was self-evident; they were called Commander-level demons not only because of their powerful strength but also because they possessed the ability to command demons.
Under the command of a Commander-level demon, a demon horde was enough to threaten the safety of a small city, just like Bo City before.
"Individual strength is certainly very limited; for this data collection in the desolate city, I hope that both students from Mingzhu Academy and Imperial Capital Academy can help each other and return smoothly and safely!" Dean Song He said.
...
The Dongting Lake Plain belongs to the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, located in the northern part of HUN Province.
Dongting Lake is not a famous tourist attraction; covering an area of forty thousand square meters, it is the third largest dangerous lake in the country.
Such a vast lake encompasses various different ecosystems, and countless demons inhabit it.
Among them, the notorious Lizard Skull Giant Demon tribe, which occupied Jinlin City as their lair, used Dongting Lake as their base camp.
After arriving at the nearest city, all students from Imperial Capital Academy and Mingzhu Academy could only choose to walk to Jinlin City.
