It was midnight, and the moon was bright and the stars were sparse.
It was still the Pond Cloud Rainforest, but it was a little cooler at night. Occasionally, one could see some rainwater converging into a river. It was beautiful under the moonlight, but the occasional screeching of birds and beasts made one feel uneasy.
At that moment, in a corner of the rainforest, beside a river, two young girls could be seen under the moonlight. They were tall and adorable, like orchids in spring and chrysanthemums in autumn. The tall girl was nervous and vigilant. As for the adorable girl, she had taken off her underwear, revealing her snow-white skin. She was frowning as she cleaned the scratches under her armpits. Her eyes were filled with confusion as she spoke softly.
"Du Min, it's been three days. We don't know when the rescue team will arrive. Our campsite is running out of food."
The tall girl called Du Min fell silent. To them, their entire lives had changed in the past three days. Three days ago, they were still students of Ethereal Dao College. Three days later, they were lost in this place. There were dangers lurking everywhere.
The Pond Cloud Rainforest looked beautiful, but in fact, the ground was damp and rotten. Occasionally, beast bones could be seen. There were also many centipedes and colorful snakes that were more than a foot long. It made one's scalp tingle. Other than that, there were also various ferocious beasts that had evolved rapidly like humans since the Spirit Inception Era. They were extremely strong and ferocious, making the wilderness a forbidden zone for humans.
However, at that moment, while the two girls were feeling bitter, a little fatty was standing under a Big Tree not far from them. He was peeing with his head raised.
The little fatty was Wang Baole. He didn't notice the two girls who were cleaning their wounds. He also didn't look at the small flower that was originally standing on the ground. It was swaying chaotically under the pressure of the water …
"Damn it. I, Wang Baole, claim to be able to see through the hearts of people by observing their expressions … I didn't expect that I would be tricked by Ethereal Dao College!"
"This Ethereal Dao College is too despicable. Their acting is so realistic. In order to make us believe it, they actually let everyone see the spaceship explode!" Wang Baole was furious. The past three days had been extremely frightening for him.
Three days ago, he and his classmates had unknowingly fallen asleep in the Spirit Cultivation Room when they were awakened by a loud explosion. Before he could think too much, his body was directly pushed out of the airship by an impact. Fortunately, the Spirit Cultivation Suit itself had the function of cushioning and avoiding lightning, so he barely managed to land in the rain forest. However, he witnessed the airship explode in the electromagnetic storm with his own eyes.
For the next three days, Wang Baole and the others were scattered throughout the forest. The lack of food, the savagery of the wild beasts, the confusion and fear of the future caused the students to more or less reveal some of their true nature. Some formed groups, some traveled alone, some were decisive, and some were cowardly.
Although the law of the jungle was too sudden for students like them who had just entered Ethereal Dao College, it was as though a bud had been stimulated by this drastic change. Greed, cruelty, selflessness, and kindness were all magnified out of thin air.
"Shameless!" Wang Baole muttered in his heart. Three days ago, he had really thought that everything was real. He had been so frightened that even though he had met his arch-enemy, Du Min, he had endured it and stayed in the camp where she was.
Now that three days had passed and he was in a state of not having enough to eat, he discovered through his voice transmission ring that his weight had miraculously dropped by six to seven kilograms. He was shocked and suspicious.
Wang Baole's experience was truly unique. In order to lose weight, he did not eat or drink for a month and exercised crazily. However, for some unknown reason, not only did he not lose weight, he even gained 1.5 kilograms!
Now, in three days, he had lost six to seven kilograms. This was simply impossible for him!
Especially when he recalled that in the autobiographies of some high-ranking officials, there were people who lamented about their life in the Dao College. They had vaguely mentioned that the Dao College would have a so-called freshman assessment every once in a while.
If not for Wang Baole's thorough research, he would not have noticed this point. Now that he thought about it, although he did not know how Ethereal Dao College managed to make everything so realistic, it was very likely that there was a flaw. They used the metabolism of a normal person as the construction standard, and he was obviously not a normal person …
He was fifty percent sure that everything in front of him was an illusion.
And the evidence that allowed him to confirm his judgment was the half black mask that the old physician had returned to him!
Thinking of this, Wang Baole, who was in the middle of peeing, could not help but look down at his chest. An indescribable sense of strangeness rose in his heart.
He clearly remembered that before he stepped into the Spirit Cultivation Chamber, he had casually placed the half black mask in his chest. After that, when he encountered danger, he did not have the time to care about it. Not long ago, he accidentally discovered that although the mask looked normal, it could actually be penetrated with a stretch of his hand, as though it could never be touched.
It was as though this was an illusory world that could simulate all things, but it was difficult to analyze its structure and reconstruct its essence.
As time passed, even its external shape began to turn illusory. At the same time, some blurry words appeared.
Although it was difficult to see clearly, the changes in the mask increased Wang Baole's original fifty percent confidence to a hundred percent!
And according to this train of thought, if this was an assessment formed by a fake disaster, it was not difficult to guess the direction of the assessment.
It can't be to see who is strong and who is weak. After all, everyone has not come into contact with ancient martial arts. Then, the purpose of this assessment can only be to test one's temperament in times of crisis. Perhaps it is also to test one's confidence in the Dao College? Wang Baole's mind was spinning as he peed. From time to time, he would shudder.
As the little flower in front of him became more and more messy, Wang Baole's breathing quickened slightly. He felt that he had to seize this opportunity to add points to himself.
Let's do it! At this thought, Wang Baole shuddered violently. Just as he was about to pull up his pants, he suddenly saw a small river not far away.
Although Du Min was standing there under the moonlight, Wang Baole's gaze was no longer on her. There was only an adorable girl who was washing her wounds.
There's actually a humanoid beast! Wang Baole's eyes suddenly widened. He took a deep breath and his heart raced. However, just as he glanced over, Du Min, who was vigilant of her surroundings, seemed to sense something. When she looked over, she couldn't help but exchange glances with Wang Baole. After a moment of shock, her expression changed drastically. But before she could scream, Wang Baole glared at her and pulled up his pants while shouting.
"What are you looking at? Haven't you seen a man pee before?"
As soon as he said that, Du Min felt as though all the words she wanted to say were swallowed back by Wang Baole's words. She was so angry that her whole body trembled. In all her life, she had only seen such a shameless person like Wang Baole. She couldn't help but scold him.
"Darn fatty, how can you be considered a man!"
As soon as she said that, Wang Baole was so angry that he nearly fattened. He had been rivals with the sharp-tongued Du Min since they were young. They didn't like each other, but they were in the same class and had entered Ethereal Dao College together. At that moment, Wang Baole took a deep breath and snorted.
"Darn fatty, how can you be considered a woman!"
When Du Min heard that, she almost spat out a mouthful of blood. The veins on her forehead bulged. Just as she was about to rush over, Wang Baole let out a long sigh.
"My pure body has been seen so clearly by all of you. How am I supposed to live in the future?" He looked like he had nothing left to live for. He pulled up his pants and turned to run. His heart was racing and his back was drenched in cold sweat. He was thankful that he had reacted quickly. Otherwise, he would have been in danger.
Seeing that Wang Baole was about to escape, Du Min's almond-shaped eyes widened in anger. She quickly chased after him. Behind her, the cute girl in the river was confused when she heard the two people's vicious words. She didn't realize that she had been taken advantage of by Wang Baole. When she saw Du Min chasing after him, she put on her clothes and quickly chased after him with a red face.
At that moment, the peace of the rainforest was broken by Du Min's angry scolding. In the forest ahead, a group of people immediately rushed over from the direction of their temporary campsite. They blocked Wang Baole's path.
The person in the lead was a young man in white. He held a torch and was tall. He had sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes. He was very eye-catching in the crowd. There were many students clustered around him. It was obvious that he was the leader.
This person was Liu Daobin, who had united everyone in the campsite where Wang Baole was and displayed his charisma over the past three days.
"Wang Baole, what did you do?!" Liu Daobin saw Du Min and the girl chasing after him angrily from afar. And Wang Baole, who was being chased by them, was pulling up his pants as he walked … This strange scene stunned Liu Daobin. He had feelings for Du Min for a long time, and at that moment, he instinctively hated Wang Baole.
"I just peed …" Before Wang Baole could finish his words, a loud scream suddenly came from the direction of Du Min and the girl who were running over from afar.
The moment the sound appeared, a bloody stench filled the area in the blink of an eye. There were also rustling sounds that spread out like a tidal wave like a storm.
Wang Baole turned his head abruptly. At the same time, the expressions of Liu Daobin and the other students changed. They saw that countless snakes had appeared on the ground and branches of the forest around Du Min and the cute girl in the distance!
The snakes were colorful and looked to be filled with venom. There were too many of them. From afar, it looked like a sea of snakes that had completely surrounded Du Min and the girl.
When they saw the countless venomous snakes around them, the expressions of the two girls changed greatly. They had already opened their mouths full of venomous fangs. Venom flowed out and made hissing sounds. The stench was nauseating.
Liu Daobin's body trembled. He had no time to pay attention to Wang Baole and rushed straight for Du Min. Some of the students behind him had bloodshot eyes as they rushed forward to help.
All of this happened too quickly. Just as everyone was about to rush forward to help, a shocking baby's cry suddenly came from the forest in the distance. A red line as thick as an arm could be seen clearly even in the dark of the night. It was charging at them at an astonishing speed.
Its body would occasionally leap out, revealing a pale head. It no longer looked like a snake's head, but was clearly a baby's face. However, its eyes revealed a madness that made everyone's hearts skip a beat.
"Red-boned White Baby Snake!" Some of the students recognized it. They panicked and cried out in alarm as they retreated.
Liu Daobin's scalp felt like it was about to explode. His hair stood on end, and his heart trembled violently. The Red-boned White Baby Snake was simply too famous. It was listed as one of the Federation's Thousand Ferocious Beasts of the Spirit Inception Era. Although its body was weak and its speed wasn't very fast, its venom was so great that even a tiny bit of it could cause one to instantly turn into a puddle of blood, leaving behind only a red skeleton. That was how it got its name.
Even though he loved Du Min, if he were to lose his life because of her, he instinctively felt that the losses outweighed the gains. He subconsciously retreated far away, fearing that the Red-boned White Baby Snake would go on a killing spree and bury them in its mouth.
When Wang Baole saw this, he sucked in a deep breath. However, he immediately realized that all of this was fake. He immediately relaxed, and his eyes lit up. The time had come for him to show off in front of his teacher.
"It's all fake anyway. What's there to be scared of?" When he thought of this, Wang Baole puffed out his chest and looked at the students who had fled back. His eyes were filled with deep disdain.
"Although that flat-chested Du Min has a sharp tongue, is ugly, and always uses her authority to make things difficult for me, I, Wang Baole, am a noble person. I'm a righteous person. I'm not afraid of sacrificing myself. I'm not a vulgar person. I'm a person who benefits my fellow students!
"In such a dangerous environment, how can I, Wang Baole, retreat? Others don't dare to go because they're afraid of death, but … for my fellow students, I dare!"
The shameless fatty was almost moved by his own words. Could it be that he had forgotten that this was a fake world? However, he seemed to have forgotten. He was intoxicated, as if this was the only real world that was worthy of his bravery.
"Today, I'll show you what it means to be a man, Baner!"
As the crowd retreated in fear, Wang Baole didn't retreat. Instead, he let out a roar. He pursed his lips and lifted his chin. His round little face seemed to have a sharpness to it, as if it had been carved by a knife. Filled with the aura of a man, he strode forward like a dragon or a tiger, charging into the swarm of snakes like a hot knife through butter.
His imposing manner was like a rainbow, and his extraordinarily mighty figure seemed to represent justice as he charged toward Du Min and the young woman.
This scene caused Du Min to stare in shock. Even though she was in the middle of a swarm of snakes, she still couldn't get used to it. However, the adorable young woman next to her couldn't help but get excited.
As for the others, they were also intimidated by Wang Baole's roar and his imposing manner. They watched as the Red-boned White Infant Snake approached Du Min and the young woman. Wang Baole suddenly closed in on the Red-boned White Infant Snake like a god descending from the heavens. He grabbed the revered Red-boned White Infant Snake and threw it off into the distance.
At this moment, he exuded a mighty and domineering aura, as if he were possessed by a saint. His righteous aura spread out in all directions. After that, he didn't stop for even a moment. He hugged the excited young woman, then tucked the stunned Du Min under his armpit and ran back toward the crowd.
However, there were too many snakes in the area. As he ran back and forth, his buttocks were bitten a few times. By the time he returned, his face was black. However, he gritted his teeth and held on until he safely brought Du Min and the young woman back. Then, he staggered, lost his strength, and fell to the ground.
"Seems like I was a bit impulsive …. My buttocks hurt. It proves that being a real man is really tough." Wang Baole's heart was filled with grief. He saw that Du Min was still staring at him like a fool. As for the adorable young woman, her eyes were filled with gratitude. Everyone else looked as if they had just seen a ghost. Although his eyelids were a bit heavy, he couldn't help but feel a bit proud of himself.
However, the pain in his buttocks turned into numbness. Wang Baole quickly grabbed Du Min's small hand.
"Du Min, I saved your life. I can't feel my buttocks anymore. I heard that if the snake venom is sucked out, it can be saved. Help me …." Before he could finish speaking, Wang Baole couldn't help but feel dizzy. His head tilted to one side, and just as it was about to fall onto Du Min's chest, he suddenly realized something. He forced himself to change direction, and his head landed on the adorable young woman's breasts.
Seeing this scene, the surrounding people had strange expressions. Du Min's face darkened when she saw that Wang Baole still had that look of disdain even though he was unconscious.
At that moment, in the Federation's territory, far away from the Pond Cloud Rainforest and in the sky above Ethereal Dao College, there was a red cruiser. In the Spirit Cultivation Chamber, hundreds of students were sleeping peacefully. Wang Baole was also inside. He seemed to be having a sweet dream. His head was tilted to one side, and the corners of his mouth were curled into a smile of enjoyment.
In the cruiser's main pavilion, all the teachers, including the old physician, were dumbfounded. Their eyes were wide open as they stared at one of the many crystal images floating in front of them.
That image was of the unconscious Wang Baole after saving Du Min in the Pond Cloud Rainforest.
"What's this little fatty's name!?"
"Although it's a dream maze, it's exactly the same as reality. His performance in it is his true nature!"
"Such bravery, such fearlessness in order to save a fellow student. This child is a rare seedling that only appears once in a hundred years! He's the most outstanding student that our Dao College desires! "
After a long while, all the teachers exclaimed in surprise. They looked at Wang Baole and were full of praise. Some of the teachers were already tempted and were considering if they should directly rope in Wang Baole to join their faculty.
Even the Chancellor of Ethereal Dao College, the old physician, was a little dumbfounded. He hesitated in his heart and felt that something was amiss.
"Could it be that I really misjudged him?" As he pondered, he simply took out Wang Baole's copy from the student file and lowered his head to read it.
