Chapter 103: Abyss World

That may be true, but Instructor He Yan knew very well in her heart that once their doubts were answered, these freshmen would inevitably bear immense pressure, and it was even possible they might be crushed by it.

Of course, there would also be those who would forge ahead bravely.

To discard the dross and select the essence—this was Instructor He Yan's goal.

After everyone was seated, Instructor He Yan pondered for a moment and spoke slowly: "Hundreds of years ago, our world faced a tremendous crisis. At that time, the human race was weak, and the number of Monster Tamers was scarce, far from being as widespread as it is today, yet our enemies were unimaginably powerful.

For the sake of the race's survival, over these hundreds of years of history, countless human predecessors shed their blood and sacrificed their lives, yet they were still beaten back step by step. To defeat the enemy and strengthen ourselves, many human predecessors abandoned sectarian prejudices, stopped hoarding their knowledge, and began teaching without discrimination, widely accepting students; thus, the Academy was born, and over hundreds of years, it has cultivated countless excellent Monster Tamers!

Before the birth of the Academy, whether it was noble families or sects, they firmly held onto the inheritance of knowledge, while gangs and martial arts halls could often only learn superficial knowledge, making it difficult to become Stronger. For you, this can be said to be the best of times, and also the worst of times, because our enemy is extremely powerful, even to the point of being invincible!"

No one spoke, including Luo Jie; everyone looked at Instructor He Yan, waiting for what she would say next.

"Our enemy comes from the Abyss World; some of you may have heard of it, but what you know must be extremely limited.

Some of your elders may have some understanding of the Abyss World and may have even fought against the demons of the Abyss World. But they must have hidden things from you, mainly to avoid putting too much pressure on you, so that you can grow smoothly.

Because, you are too weak!"

Instructor He Yan shook her head; although Class 1 gathered the elites among the freshmen, at best there were only four Second Rank, and the rest were all First Rank, which could not play much of a role at all, and might even become a burden.

With greater ability comes greater responsibility!

Everyone's ability to withstand pressure is different; appropriate pressure can make people grow faster; but once the pressure is too great, it will make people unable to bear it, and they might even slack off to save their own lives, doing the bare minimum, or even deliberately refusing to raise their own rank.

The Abyss World is too powerful, powerful enough to make one fear it!

This is equivalent to a Great Thousand World going to war with a Small Thousand World; they are completely not on the same level. If it weren't for the Abyss World fighting on multiple fronts, the Fairy World would likely have been assimilated by the Abyss long ago and become one of the layers of the Abyss World.

However, the students here are all the pride of heaven; they have powerful talents and their ability to withstand pressure far exceeds that of ordinary people. Perhaps some students will be unable to adapt and eventually be crushed by the pressure, but as long as more students rise up to resist, Instructor He Yan's goal will have been achieved.

Of course, these are He Yan's personal thoughts and have nothing to do with the measures taken by the Academy's top brass. As for what they think, she does not know, nor does she want to know; after all, everyone has their own thoughts.

At this moment, a freshman suddenly asked: "Teacher, do you mean that the Abyss World is far stronger than us?"

"Yes, although my understanding of the Abyss World is somewhat one-sided, the strength of the Abyss World is indeed far stronger than ours! Alright, do not ask questions for now; I will first share some information about the Abyss World!"

At Instructor He Yan's request, no student interrupted her speech again; they were nervous and fearful, yet filled with curiosity about the Abyss World.

He Yan did not know much about the origin of the Abyss World.

She only knew that the Abyss World was vast, unimaginably so; it was the home of demons dedicated to death and destruction, and also one of the destinations for chaotic evil souls.

The Abyss World is composed of countless layers and is also a collection of all that is ugly, evil, and chaotic. The world environment is extremely harsh, and there is no ethics or morality whatsoever; there is no such thing as friendship, kinship, or love, only ceaseless betrayal, slaughter, and destruction.

In the Abyss World, the main intelligent life forms are various kinds of demons.

Besides demons, a large number of evil creatures also survive there, such as Undead, renegade Devils, twisted mortals, and so on.

The Abyss World is extremely aggressive and often directs demons to invade other worlds, ultimately aiming to assimilate other worlds to nourish itself. Due to the differences in World Rules, the Abyss World finds it difficult to fuse them into one piece, eventually turning them into different layers.

The demons born from the Abyss World are irritable, full of malice, arbitrary, and violent, and have no morality to speak of. They are dedicated to destruction and ruin, taking this as their lifelong pleasure, and they love to invade other planes, Devour the souls and flesh of intelligent beings, and bring destruction and fear.

There are many races of demons; different types of demons have completely different body structures, and most possess strength far exceeding that of melee combat, as well as the ability to use spell-like abilities.

They resist order; even an Abyssal Lord cannot make them do things in an orderly fashion, and there is no unity to speak of.

Because they are too chaotic and selfish, and also have to fight against Baator Hell, the Nine Hells of Heaven, and other planes, the power of the Abyss World is severely dispersed. Even though the overall strength of the Abyss World far exceeds that of the Fairy World, hundreds of years have passed, and it still has not crushed the Fairy World.

Of course, this also has to do with the strength of Monster Tamers. Although the difficulty of advancing as a Monster Tamer far exceeds that of Mages, Summoners, and other professions in other planes, their power is unquestionable.

The Abyss World's method of invasion is very simple: it constructs an Abyss Gate while releasing Demonic Qi, gradually assimilating the surrounding land, turning the nearby land into an environment similar to the Abyss World, and resisting the rules of the Fairy World to prevent the demons' strength from being significantly weakened.

The Abyss Gate is difficult to destroy, which has led to the number of Abyss Gates increasing year by year over the past hundreds of years, and more and more land being assimilated, causing the Fairy World to become increasingly passive.

Among them, the Langya Kingdom has two Abyss Gates, and the second Abyss Gate was opened only three years ago!

After an Abyss Gate is formed, the more land it assimilates, the more demons it can pass through. When an Abyss Gate accumulates to a certain degree, it can transport even more powerful existences.

Hundreds of years have passed, the number of Abyss Gates is increasing, and the number of demons is also rising; this is simply a disaster for humanity. Once the situation continues to deteriorate, it is only a matter of time before the Fairy World is assimilated by the Abyss.

To resist the Abyss World, humanity became united as never before, which led to the birth of the Academy, cultivating a large number of excellent talents.

But resources are limited after all; the more Monster Tamers there are, the lower the proportion of Stronger being born becomes.

From a strategic point of view, one Stronger is far superior to a group of the weak, and even more important than an army composed of a large number of Low-tier Monster Tamers.

Thus, discarding the dross and selecting the essence to concentrate resources on cultivating the Stronger became inevitable.

With Instructor He Yan's introduction, everyone gained a certain understanding of the Abyss World.

In the classroom, some were silent, some showed fear, and some were eager to try; it was a mixed reaction!

"Compared to hundreds of years ago, we have become much stronger. During this period, countless Stronger, Kings, and even Supreme Beings have been born. We have reason to believe that in the near future, the invasion of the Abyss World will surely end in failure!"

Instructor He Yan said this with her mouth, but in her heart, she had no confidence at all.

Although the Fairy World has produced many Stronger, the two worlds are not in the same magnitude at all. With the increase of Abyss Gates, resisting is becoming increasingly difficult.

Three years ago, a King fell, and now another has fallen. This is just for the surrounding regions; if expanded to the entire Fairy World, the number is clearly much higher. One move affects the whole situation; the current situation is already precarious, and the Stronger need to bear even greater pressure.

However, the freshmen do not know the truth, so under Instructor He Yan's encouragement, many of the dispirited freshmen regained some confidence, but there were still some freshmen with their heads lowered, their hearts filled with panic and confusion.

The world is not as good as they imagined!

"Next, I will briefly describe that battle three years ago, because I was a participant in that year, and also a survivor!"

Instructor He Yan sighed in her heart, noting those few freshmen who were dominated by fear. If they continued to be dispirited in the time to come, she might take some measures, such as transferring them to other classes.

Teaching staff is also an important resource!
