Translator: 549690339

In the gloomy and damp corridor, the blood-red silk banner fluttered behind the armored young man, rustling in the night breeze.

Through the dim light, one could faintly see the drag marks of blood on the ground.

On the ship’s wall ten meters opposite, the body of the middle-aged team captain hung in the air, blood dripping down, his dead eyes staring wide.

Pei Jinye’s chest heaved.

In the past fifteen minutes, he felt as though he had experienced all the crises he might face in his life.

The comrades covering him died right before his eyes.

All ammunition spent…

Completely lost contact with headquarters…

If despair had a taste.

Then Pei Jinye had fully experienced it now.

“Old Pei…” Lou Ziyue leaned against the wall, her face deathly pale, a huge hole in her abdomen from which blood poured endlessly.

“Run… It will take another hour for support from headquarters to arrive… The Night Hawk Group has taken a big fall this time.”

Pei Jinye looked at her.

Lou Ziyue gave a pained smile, “Run.”

Pei Jinye remained silent.

The sound of the Shadow Sickle Beast dragging a corpse echoed through the corridor, the quiet ship sounding like a demon’s screech.

All of this circled in Pei Jinye’s mind.

At some point, he had completely forgotten that this was an examination.

Seeing his comrades die before him, he felt sad, angry, and indignant…

After all that had transpired, now only he and Lou Ziyue were left.

And probably

Soon he would be the only one left.

Left alone on this Ghost Ship hiding secrets, becoming the sacrificial victim of this operation, part of some dark conspiracy.

“Sister Lou, have you ever regretted it?”

Lou Ziyue did not reply.

Pei Jinye turned his head to look, Lou Ziyue had already dropped her head, and her blood-covered hands had slipped from her belly, losing all life.

Pei Jinye sighed softly.

He clenched the Short Blade in his hand.

He mockingly laughed at himself, “In the face of death, it turns out I can be afraid too.”

He faced the Shadow Sickle Beast that had reached the entrance.

Pei Jinye was not panicked at all.

Having gone through this life-and-death crisis, he had now completely come to a realization.

It was as if a flame was rising in his chest, growing more intense.

“Are you curious how I’ll break through this situation?”

Pei Jinye murmured to himself.

As if there really was someone watching him.

“Next, I’ll tell you.”

The howling wind stormed into the corridor, rustling, the evil wind unrestrained.

In this world shrouded in darkness, a light appeared at this moment, and it was expanding rapidly.

“I am not Pei Zhan!”

“I am Pei Jinye!”

The fierce wind howled, the light shined brightly.

The next moment.

Pei Jinye raised his sword, and with his powerful spiritual power, he conjured up a terrifying will that resonated at a special frequency with this world.

He swung his sword lightly across.

“Slara!”

It was like ripping through fragile paper.

The blinding white light extended infinitely, spreading from the void in front of him down the corridor, slicing through the massive body of the Shadow Sickle Beast… In the blink of an eye, it split “slowly” the world into two.

The endless darkness was also cleaved in two, the extreme brilliance emanating from Pei Jinye’s hand acting like the surging flames of the sun, shattering all the despair at this moment… ruthlessly cutting the roaring giant Shadow Sickle Beast in half at the waist.

At this moment

The sound of the wind and the beast’s roars around his ears seemed to freeze.

This world filled with despair and bloodshed completely collapsed.

Pei Jinye looked on calmly at the world as it crumbled like dissolving silt.

At this moment, he had fully understood.

The Transcendent had always been there, it was just that under the assumptions of this world, his own consciousness had been deceived… In other words, he had sealed his own Transcendence.

“All of this is an illusion.”

The burning spiritual power shone like a fierce holy light, liberating itself.

The darkness was devoured by the light, like a receding tide… the corpses, the blood, and various pieces of equipment on deck rose towards the luminance in the sky.

It turned out that this level of the world was not as difficult as imagined.

Everything was destroyed in an unstoppable onslaught.

Inside the surveillance room.

As the intense holy light engulfed the entire screen, Pei Jinye’s image was completely lost from the monitors.

“What’s going on here?” the Governor asked in astonishment.

And it wasn’t just him who was dumbfounded—the proctors were too.

According to their expectations, it was almost certain that this candidate would “die.”

But the current developments left everyone speechless.

“Does this count as passing?” someone asked uncertainly.

The proctor also noticed Mr. Han’s looking over and quickly confirmed, “System notification is calculating; after all, this candidate’s methods are a bit unorthodox, so we may need to wait a little while.”

Upon hearing this, the crowd’s expressions varied.

In the Virtual World.

Pei Jinye sensed the rapid collapse of everything around him.

He thought he would soon return to that colossal ship, but to his surprise, right in front of him, a huge…

spark of fire emerged!

“What is this?”

Pei Jinye’s expression was blank.

This massive spark of fire appeared in the shattered world, burning away the endless darkness.

At the instant the firelight ignited, Pei Jinye truly saw…

Around him, there was a Blood Sea boiling and burning, the crackling sounds of the fire now somewhat resembling the shrieking of boiling water. As the flames swept across, it seemed as though a hand had brushed them away.
