Chapter 27: Prelude to the Abyss, Mage Class Trial!
"Abyssal aura erupting, a mage trial?"

Lin Yi was somewhat puzzled.

What is this.

Zuo Qian continued, "This knowledge doesn't exist in your textbooks, so it's normal that you don't know it."

"But you should know what the root cause of the anomaly on our planet a thousand years ago was, right?"

Lin Yi nodded: "It's an invasion from the Abyss, a plane overlap."

Zuo Qian: "Yes! Abyss, abyss, that's a term you've probably heard often."

"You can think of the Abyss as a parallel world, an alternate dimension."

"That is the root of all disasters and crises on Earth."

"There are endless, terrifying monsters there, and they even have their own civilization and social system, just like us!"

"But dangerous places are often also where opportunities and rewards are most abundant."

"Some of the true powerhouses in our Great Xia Dynasty are able to become powerful because they have obtained extremely rare rewards such as key skills, talents, and exclusive equipment after training in the Abyss."

"The Abyss is a terrifying plane that encompasses everything. Like a universe, it is constantly in motion and moving, and it is inevitable that there will be times when it gets particularly close to our Blue Star plane."

"At such times, when two planes conflict with each other, a rift that exists between the two planes is easily created."

"These cracks are actually the copy you are familiar with."

Lin Yi listened as the former principal gave him a lesson.

Make his eyes light up.

He had never thought about how those copies were created before.

So that's how it came about.

"This morning, a new limited-time instance appeared in the eastern suburbs of Jiangcheng."

"That instance was tainted with a slight abyssal aura, which caused the monsters within to mutate."

"The spatial structure of these copies is very unstable, and they will disappear after a period of time."

"So we need to get in early and claim the rewards!"

"This instance is special; it's a trial instance."

"And it's a single-class trial instance, only allowing mage players to enter!"

Lin Yi pondered for a moment and then asked, "Principal, what are the benefits if I pass this trial?"

Zuo Qian chuckled: "You little rascal, you really don't act until you see the benefits. But I'm the same way, haha, we go into dungeons for the rewards, don't we!"

"The reward for this trial is a title."

"This title is: Abyss Challenger!"

"A title has no attributes, but you can think of it as a key or a qualification!"

"The qualification to enter the true abyss!"

Lin Yi understood.

Judging from the former principal's introduction.

Truly valuable equipment, rare skills, and rare talents.

They all require entering the abyss to obtain.

Those who cannot pass this professional trial are not qualified to enter the abyss!

Without a doubt, it means that one will never become a true strong person in their lifetime.

No wonder people say it will affect their future career.

"Judging from past patterns, every time a professional trial dungeon like this appears on our Blue Star, it's different. Before entering the trial, the challenger will be informed of the rules for passing the trial. After meeting the rules, they will be able to obtain the qualification to enter the Abyss!"

"Our Jiangcheng is very lucky. The rules for the mage class trial this time are too simple. You just need to survive in the trial dungeon for 3 hours. It doesn't require you to kill a lot of monsters or kill the BOSS."

"So, Lin Yi, seize this opportunity!" "Because you don't know when you'll encounter this kind of professional trial again, and it might be even more difficult!"

Actually, the difficulty wasn't too bad for Lin Yi. At least for now, his strength wasn't enough to crush other professionals of the same level; it was more like a dimensional reduction attack.

This trial, however difficult, won't be too difficult.

Perhaps for Lin Yi, the real abyss is the true challenge.

Lin Yi's biggest fear was missing out, not knowing when he would have another chance to participate in the trial.

Even as the four-legged creature flew slowly, the two of them left Jiangcheng while they were talking.

“You did a good job. When I was a teacher, I also took a few students flying at high speeds, and they were all terrified.”

Lin Yi: "..."

He had a grievance he didn't know how to express.

You call this high-speed flight?
Can I say that if I used my skills to fly, I could be more than ten times faster than your snail-paced mount?

The area surrounding Jiangcheng is almost entirely surrounded by lush and beautiful grasslands.

Even in the eastern suburbs, it's the same.

After leaving the city, the two flew east for a while, and soon Lin Yi saw a large group of people gathered in a dark mass in a certain part of the grassland.

"The news spread very quickly. As soon as this mage class trial dungeon appeared, people from several base cities around Jiangcheng heard about it and rushed over."

"When I asked your homeroom teacher to come find you this morning, there weren't many people there yet. Many of the students in our school who have changed their profession to mage have gone in as a team, and they should be inside by now."

"No, things seem to be getting complicated now..."

Zuo Qian looked down at the dense crowd below, and his expression changed.

Lin Yi also noticed the problem.

That means there were so many people that you couldn't even see the dungeon entrance, and it was obvious that these people were queuing up!

What's going on? Do we still need to queue to enter the dungeon?
After landing, Zuo Qian retrieved his mount. Leveraging the connections he had built up over the years, he and Lin Yi revealed their identities to all the Jiangcheng military professionals maintaining order at the scene.

Perhaps out of favoritism towards their own men, these soldiers turned a blind eye to Zuo Qian and Lin Yi's actions of cutting in line and moving forward, and did not stop them.

Soon, Zuo Qian and Lin Yi arrived at the center of the crowd.

Lin Yi also saw a spatial rift emanating a gloomy and dark aura, which was constantly flashing.

This is clearly the entrance to the limited-time trial dungeon.

On both sides of the entrance, there were many professionals and array masters dressed in robes, maintaining the stability of the dungeon entrance and trying to prolong the dungeon's opening time.

"President Jiang, it's me, Xiao Zuo!"

Zuo Qian adopted a humble and ingratiating expression and immediately spotted Jiang Xuan, the president of the Jiangcheng Professionals Alliance, in the center of the crowd.

Jiang Xian was all smiles at that moment.

The fact that so many schools, unaffiliated organizations, and guild members from other base cities came to their Jiangcheng made him proud.

At that moment, a group of people wearing the uniforms of a certain professional academy, with powerful auras and mostly at least at the fourth level, were talking to Jiang Xuan.

Zuo Qian had no choice but to grit his teeth and shout it out for Lin Yi's sake.

However, their attitude was extremely respectful.

Jiang Xuan was somewhat displeased that his conversation with the important VIP had been interrupted.

However, since this is a public place, he can't make a scene.

We can only look back.

Zuo Qian chuckled awkwardly, "President Jiang, it's like this, one of our students who successfully became a mage hasn't been able to participate in this trial yet. There are so many people here, what do you think...?"

"Lin Yi, come here, this is Jiang Xuan, the president of our Jiangcheng Professionals Alliance, a fourth-rank Grand Mage!"

Before Lin Yi could speak, Jiang Xuan asked in surprise, "You're Lin Yi?"
