At Bei Du University, the faculty of Beast Card Cultivation, Practical Building…

Huang Tielan stood fully focused behind a laboratory table, operating related tools with both hands, extracting the essence of various raw ingredients kept in containers, and transferring them into a petri dish in an orderly manner.

Her face showed none of the nervousness and uncertainty from when she first started concocting. Her eyes were filled with confidence and calm.

After completing all the steps, she placed the petri dish in the heating apparatus and switched it on, carefully adjusting the temperature.

Everything was done properly without any mistakes.

Several hundred students filled the seats of a tiered-seating conference room in the big building. They were the freshmen of Bei Du University’s beast card cultivation faculty.

Every one of them were seated quietly in their seats. None of them were whispering among themselves. They were all focused on the large screen behind the rostrum.

On the screen, Huang Tielan was shown carefully placing a beast card into the petri dish, then putting on the cover unhurriedly and using a vacuum machine to remove the air inside.

Up on the stage, an elder sitting casually there was watching Huang Tielan’s movements on the screen, nodding in satisfaction. Afterwards, he turned his head around and looked at the many students sitting below.

This elder had a dishevelled appearance. His hair and beard were greyish-white, but his face was a healthy pink, making it hard to tell how old he was.

Although he had an amiable manner about him, none of the students below dared to challenge his authority.

That man was Sun Qilong!

“Did you watch Huang Tielan’s entire operation carefully? She did every step as orderly and thoroughly as she could, and that is why she didn’t commit any careless mistakes. This is something you should learn from her. If you want to become a passable beast card cultivator, you need to keep one thing in mind: EVERY tiny detail determines your success or failure.

“During the process of concocting the cultivation fluid, any neglect in any tiny detail will lead to the failure of your concoction. Let alone wasting the ingredients, there is even the risk of causing an explosion.

“Regarding this, Huang Tielan did very well. There was zero incidents from her since the training began. Why is that?”

Sun Qilong swept his gaze across the audience. His voice became a little stricter as he stated, “Because she’s more attentive to detail than any of you!

“Alright, this will be all for this practical class. Go back and carefully think about this. By the end of the pre-school term training, I don’t ask for your success rate to be as high as Huang Tielan’s, but at the very least, I hope there won’t be any huge mistakes that should be avoided during your concocting.”

After finishing his words, Sun Qilong stood up and walked out of the lecture hall quickly.

After a short while, the room suddenly exploded into discussion. Several hundred people started talking at the same time, and the commotion seemed to be threatening to tear the lecture hall apart.

” Ai, so depressing. Someone with good looks is actually more hardworking than us. I feel like my future is really dark now…” a woman with less-than-ideal looks sighed, looking dejected.

At the side, a man’s eyes were shining as he chuckled, “Say, wouldn’t whoever manages to court Huang Tielan have it easier for a few years more than the others?”

The surrounding men couldn’t help but look forward to that, every one of them started fantasizing.

Chi! At this moment, a handsome man at the side suddenly chuckled, “With you guys? Ever heard of the capital’s Huang family? Is she someone you can try courting?”

“Hmm? Isn’t that even better? If I managed to do just that, it’s not that I could take it easy for a few years, but that I won’t have to work hard for my whole life!”

Which of the students who enrolled into Bei Du University wasn’t a favored child of the heavens? So what if she was the daughter of a large house! It’d only be even more interesting with a bigger challenge!

———

Unbeknownst to Zhang Che, as Miss Tienan started to show her talent in beast card cultivation, and the male students becoming more aware of her beauty, more and more people wanted to snatch his girlfriend away from him.

At this moment, his expression was dark and sunken. Looking at the water flowing out from the hole, his heart nearly turned to ash.

If these islands were really floating above the water, how was he supposed to continue digging down?

Could it be that he was trapped in this dimension just like that, waiting for his death?

Zhang Che was unwilling to succumb to such a fate. He walked over to the edge of the hole, looking at the overflowing water with squinting eyes.

-Not right. If this island is really floating above the sea, how can the sea water possibly flow out from the hole? I am standing at a position much higher than the sea level!-

Therefore, he squatted down and smeared his finger with the water and brought it up to the tip of his tongue, tasting it. The expression on his face immediately relaxed.

The water had a clear, refreshing taste, unlike the faint fishy smell of sea water.

-This is not sea water!-

This was the underground water of this island! Due to the Purple Crystal Tortoise digging through the rock strata, the water came flowing up from the pressure.

Zhang Che immediately felt much more at ease.

Right, if these islands were really floating above the sea, how could they possibly remain in place, not moving at all?

That wasn’t scientific at all… well, okay, these were strange ruins in any case, not something that could be explained with science.

But, even so, it would be very troublesome going forward.

If there was an abundance of fresh water underground, it was unavoidable that the Purple Crystal Tortoise would cause a large amount of water to flow into the hole.

Naturally, the Purple Crystal Tortoise wouldn’t be too affected by it, but it was different for Zhang Che!

After all, he didn’t have the ability to hold his breath underwater for a long period of time. Even if they managed to dig to the bottom in the end, and found the light membrane whose existence in this dimension was only a mere possibility, Zhang Che wouldn’t have enough time to reach the bottom before drowning.

“This island isn’t big enough, after all,” Zhang Che sighed. Afterwards, he thought of those bald rocky islands, thinking those islands shouldn’t have underground water.

Regrettably, it was still day time. Obviously it was impossible for him to scout out those islands for now.

Heavens knew how many of those enormous sea beasts were in the sea. If there were even stronger creatures in there, it was impossible for his subdued beasts and pets to put up any resistance.

Fortunately, it was already starting to get late. Zhang Che decided to wait patiently on the island.

The light provided from the “star scape” over his head gradually dimmed. Darkness slowly encroached on the lands.

In the end, when the embedded crystals on the rock strata over his head had fully dimmed, night finally arrived.

At this moment, Zhang Che suddenly saw a strange black wind blowing in the air above the sea. “Could it be that what the devilish face said was true?”

Zhang Che rode on the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon and quickly flew to the edge to the island. He focused his gaze, looking out. The strange black wind avoided the islands, enveloping the skies above the sea, almost pressing down on the sea surface, leaving only a few-dozen-meters gap.
