I gain permanent defense when attacked; even gods and demons can't hurt me.

After confirming the assassin's death, Zuo Tiancheng put away his beast and walked to the side of Ghost Blade's corpse.

"I didn't expect the Abyss Order to act so quickly," Zuo Tiancheng said, frowning.

He crouched down and rummaged through Ghost Blade's tattered night clothes.

Soon, Zuo Tiancheng found a special black and gold token on Gui Ren's body.

The token is engraved with a blood-dripping dagger, a symbol of a top assassin.

"This belongs to the Assassin's Guild, and a top-tier assassin at that." Zuo Tiancheng recognized the origin of the token.

He stood up, put the token away, and his expression became even more serious. Being able to mobilize the top assassins of the Assassin's Hall meant that the Abyss Order had paid a heavy price.

Lin Yuan glanced at the corpse on the ground and put his secondary weapon back into his inventory.

"It's not safe here anymore, Teacher Zuo. Which way should we go now?" Lin Yuan asked.

"It's alright, that spatial interference scroll only made us land a little distance earlier."

Zuo Tiancheng checked the direction and continued.

"We shouldn't be too far from the War Academy now. Let's just fly back. If there's any trouble in the air, we can spot it in advance."

Lin Yuan nodded and jumped directly onto the dragon's back.

Zuo Tiancheng also jumped up and stood in front of Lin Yuan.

"Hold on tight."

The frost dragon flapped its enormous wings with force, creating a gust of wind that carried the two of them straight into the sky.

The dragon was incredibly fast, flying directly towards the War Academy.

……

After a period of high-altitude flight, the Frost Dragon successfully landed the two of them in the inner plaza of the War Academy.

Upon landing, Zuo Tiancheng immediately took Lin Yuan to the principal's office without any pause.

He took Lin Yuan directly to Fang Zhentian and reported the unexpected situation that had occurred during their return journey.

Zuo Tiancheng recounted in great detail to Fang Zhentian how the top assassin from the Assassin's Hall had ambushed him on the way.

Upon hearing Zuo Tiancheng's report, Fang Zhentian's face instantly darkened, and he flew into a rage.

The top genius of the War Academy was ambushed and killed by the Assassin's Hall in a teleportation channel controlled by the military.

This is a serious provocation against the human military and the War Academy.

Fang Zhentian immediately picked up the internal communicator and contacted Xue Dingbang, the commander of the Blood Moon Fortress.

He demanded that Schrödinger thoroughly investigate the suspicious individuals responsible for the teleportation arrays inside the Blood Moon Fortress.

Lin Yuan and his group secretly left the academy this time through a top-secret military teleportation array.

Only a very small number of high-ranking personnel knew the specific teleportation time and spatial coordinates throughout the entire process.

However, the assassins of the Assassin's Hall were able to know the coordinates in advance and use spatial interference scrolls to intercept them accurately.

This is enough to prove that there is definitely a traitor within the Abyss Order among the high-ranking officials of Blood Moon Fortress or those in charge of the teleportation array.

Schrödingbang, realizing the seriousness of the situation over the communicator, immediately indicated that a thorough internal purge would be carried out.

After explaining these matters, Fang Zhentian told Lin Yuan to go back and rest well, assuring him that the academy would ensure his safety.

After being relieved of his burdens on the front lines, Lin Yuan returned to his dormitory and began to relax and rest for a while.

During this time, he stopped thinking about the intense war and simply focused on calming his tense mind.

After resting, Lin Yuan did not idle down; he began his planned training to improve his skills.

To avoid attracting too much attention, he would secretly travel to the wilderness dungeons controlled by the academy for training.

In addition to accumulating defensive points, he also continuously used his newly learned and upgraded skills in high-intensity combat.

He repeatedly used skills such as Gravity Pull and Thunderous Prison Thrust to improve his proficiency in each skill.

In addition to improving his own attributes and skills, he invested a large amount of resources he had redeemed from the military merit shop into training his beast tamers.

Xiao Hei continuously kills monsters and consumes high-level materials in the dungeon, steadily increasing its level.

Its mastery of the newly awakened talent skill, Annihilation Dragon Breath, has also become increasingly proficient.

……

Time flies.

Life at the university may not be as thrilling as life on the front lines, but it is just as fulfilling.

In the blink of an eye, the second semester of freshman year has come to an end.

After a full academic year of theoretical study and practical training, all freshmen are facing the final exam at the end of the semester.

The results of the final exams will directly determine the level of academic resources they will receive in the following academic year.

The pre-exam mobilization meeting was held in the central area of ​​the university.

All the first-year students were gathered on the university's spacious playground and arranged in neat square formations.

Several senior instructors in charge of the examinations stood on the high platform, their serious gazes sweeping over the thousands of students below.

The chief examiner took out a document issued by the academic affairs office and loudly announced the specific rules and location of the final exam.

"The Academy of War never raises hothouse flowers."

"If you only know how to play in the simulations of the academy, you will never survive on the real battlefield."

"Therefore, your final exam will be held on the outskirts of the Northwest Abyss Battlefield."

The moment the location was announced, the atmosphere on the playground instantly became tense.

The instructor continued, "All students must enter this outer area individually or in small teams for practical training."

"There are strict limits on the number of people in a team; the maximum number cannot be exceeded."

"During the designated assessment period, you will need to hunt down abyssal monsters of a specified level in this area."

"After killing a monster, you must obtain a sufficient number of Abyss Cores from its corpse."

"These abyssal crystals will serve as the final points for the final assessment."

In addition, the chief examiner read out a special regulation for individuals, which was decided in a meeting of the university's senior management.

During this final exam, Lin Yuan is not allowed to team up with anyone else.

Lin Yuan had previously earned great military merits at the Blood Moon Fortress and demonstrated strength far exceeding that of a newcomer.

The academy directly allowed him to pass the assessment without him having to hunt monsters to obtain abyssal crystals.

Furthermore, the academy has given Lin Yuan a brand new identity: he will serve as one of the examiners for this final exam.

He will work with the mentors on stage to oversee the students' exam process and evaluate their performance.

Next, the instructor explained the penalty mechanism for this assessment.

Students who fail the final exams and whose grades do not meet the requirements will face the penalty of repeating the year and will be completely stripped of all school resources and subsidies for that semester.
