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

"Indeed, if your passive skill can be upgraded and its range expanded in the future..."

"For the legions on the front lines of the Abyss Battlefield, that's a mobile lifeline!"

Zhao Wuji also sighed, expressing his regret but also his understanding:

"Oh, what a pity."

"Since you have made up your mind and have a sense of righteousness, I, an old man, will not force you."

"However, Lin Yuan, if you ever have the chance to come to the capital in the future, remember to come and have tea with me."

"The gates of the capital's universities are always open for you."

"Definitely." Lin Yuan nodded solemnly.

The matter is settled.

Su Ya was in a great mood. She stood up, then suddenly said, as if she remembered something, "Oh, right, Lin Yuan."

"Now that you've decided to join our War Academy..."

"There's an opportunity you should consider."

"What opportunity?" Lin Yuan asked curiously.

Su Ya smiled mysteriously: "In a few days, our school's elite second-year students will have a special summer training camp."

"The location is a newly developed secret realm, a deep blue island."

"A deep blue island?"

Lin Yuan repeated the name, a hint of curiosity flashing in his eyes.

Su Ya nodded, her expression becoming somewhat serious:

"That's right, this is a brand new secret realm that was just spat out by a spacetime rift."

"The location is awkward, right at the intersection of the high seas between our Dragon Kingdom and the 'Free Federation' and 'Sakura Kingdom'."

"According to international practice, in the event of a newly created, unclaimed secret realm, whoever clears it first and gains core control first owns it!"

Su Ya looked at Lin Yuan, her tone laced with hostility:

"This is not just a training camp, but a war without gunfire."

"Therefore, the three countries agreed to send second-year students to compete for it, even though this task was originally assigned to our elite second-year students."

"But this time, the other side seems to have sent out an extraordinary genius as well, so to be on the safe side..."

Su Ya's lips curled into a playful smile:

"I think putting your 'human mobile fortress' inside should give those foreign friends a little shock."

"Moreover, this secret realm has just been discovered, which is what is called 'pioneering'."

"The boss inside has never been killed, and the first kill has the highest drop rate!"

"You might find rare materials, or even special skill books."

Upon hearing about "first kill drop rate" and "rare materials," Lin Yuan's eyes lit up instantly.

He immediately stood up straight, his face radiating righteous indignation, as if he hadn't been the greedy fellow from just moments before.

"Professor Su, please stop!"

"I don't care about the spoils of war; what matters is my patriotism!"

"What kind of 'Sakura Country' or 'Free Federation' dares to seize our China's territory?"

"As a prospective freshman at the War Academy, I, Lin Yuan, have an inescapable duty!"

"I'll take this job!"

Suya nodded in satisfaction.

This kid, although a bit greedy, is still clear-headed when it matters.

three days later.

Tianhai City, Yunhai No.1 Middle School, Principal's Office.

Lin Yuan stood in front of his desk, carrying a simple bag on his back.

"Are you leaving?"

Principal Lu Yun put down the documents in his hand and looked at the spirited young man in front of him.

His eyes were full of kindness and reluctance.

"Yes, Principal."

Lin Yuan said respectfully, "Instructor Su Ya is already waiting for me outside. Today, the private plane will fly directly to the Western Territory."

"I've come to say goodbye."

Lu Yun stood up, walked to Lin Yuan, and straightened his collar.

Announcement: Update coming soon, please stay tuned!

It's like an elder sending their grandson off on a long journey.

"Okay, okay."

"An eagle must eventually spread its wings and fly high. Tianhai City is too small to keep a true dragon like you."

"Take good care of yourself once you're at the War Academy."

"That place is not like home; it's a real military-controlled area and the front line in the fight against the abyss."

"Don't be stubborn, staying alive is more important than anything else."

Listening to the old principal's rambling words, Lin Yuan felt a warm current welling up in his heart.

He nodded emphatically: "Don't worry, Principal, I'm tough as nails, I won't die."

Only after Lin Yuan's figure disappeared at the end of the corridor did the old man mutter to himself:

"Go, child."

"Let the world see the unparalleled geniuses who emerged from Yunhai No. 1 High School!"

Several hours later.

A black armed transport plane bearing the emblem of a war academy pierced through the clouds.

The plane landed in a city on the western border of the Dragon Kingdom. As soon as we got off the plane, a chilling and wild atmosphere hit us.

"Welcome to the Academy of War."

Suya took off her sunglasses and pointed to the magnificent building complex in front of her, which looked like a giant beast lying down.

"How does it feel? Once we leave this town, the Abyss Battlefield will be right outside."

Lin Yuan took a deep breath, feeling the unique atmosphere here, and the blood in his body seemed to be boiling slightly.

"It suits me perfectly."

Lin Yuan grinned.

Led by Su Ya, Lin Yuan made his way smoothly to the freshman registration area, the Iron Blood Building.

Since it's not yet time for school to start, there weren't many people in the hall at that moment.

Only a few staff members in military uniforms were busy at work.

"Colonel Su!"

Upon seeing Su Ya enter, several staff members immediately stood up and saluted, their eyes filled with fervor.

Clearly, Suya holds a very high position in the university.

Su Ya waved her hand and pointed to Lin Yuan behind her: "Handle the enrollment procedures for this kid."

The receptionist nodded: "Yes!"

"drop--!"

"Identity verification successful!"

"Iris registration successful!"

"Smart bracelet being paired"

Soon, a black metal bracelet was handed to Lin Yuan.

This is a symbol of identity for students of the War Academy, integrating communication, trading, and mission acceptance.

"Lin Yuan, please confirm your initial score."

The female officer said respectfully.

Lin Yuan tapped the light screen on his bracelet.

The next second, a line of numbers popped up, almost blinding him.

[Current points balance: 200000 points!]

Although Lin Yuan was mentally prepared, his breath still caught in his throat for a moment when he saw the number.

You should know that this is in the War Academy.

Points are the ultimate currency!

Gold coins from outside the game don't circulate here; only points can be used to exchange for equipment, skill books, and unlock dungeons.

In short, in the War Academy, points are everything!

Based on the exchange rate, 1 point can be exchanged for at least 1000 Dragon Coins on the black market!

Two hundred thousand points, that's a whopping two hundred million?!

"Ahem, Lin Yuan, don't look like you've never seen the world before."

Su Ya chuckled, arms crossed, "This 200,000 includes your reward for being the top scorer in the college entrance examination."

"And a special contribution award for your assistance in defeating the demon general and protecting thousands of examinees."

"Oh, right."

Suya seemed to remember something and pointed to another icon on her bracelet: "There's one more thing."

"New recruits are usually assigned a basic rank, which is private by default."
