Game Invasion Era: Rise from Binding the Goblin King!-Chapter 137: Beast King Realm, the Changing Kent
The next day, George and Lily arrived at the academy early.
They both had their acceptance letters, so no one stopped them.
It was still early, but the playground was already full of students. Some were in small groups, talking about the new student test.
When the two of them showed up, a lot of students turned to look.
There was no real reason-both of them were too famous now. Their looks didn’t need to be mentioned, and their strength was obvious to everyone.
George was number one on the level list, and Lily was an SSS-tier awakened profession.
Not just in the Human Federation, but in the whole world, there were very few people like her.
A lot of students wanted to get close to them, but some were too shy to approach.
"George, so early?" A guy’s voice said. Liam ran over quickly.
Behind him were four people, also people George knew.
Emily, Noah, Mia.
They had met George in the Abyss realm, and they had a good relationship. Their families were important in the Sovereign City.
The other students recognized them and didn’t dare to get close. They had a clear difference in status, so it was better not to try too hard to please them, or it might backfire.
"We just got here," George said with a smile and nodded at the group.
Lily put her arm around George’s, showing ownership. She looked at Emily and Mia with a watchful eye.
Especially Mia, she had laughed at Lily during the new student test.
"Hey, little girl, you’ve grown up a bit."
Mia smiled and looked at Lily’s chest, clearly meaning something.
"You!"
Lily gritted her teeth. To be honest, she was a little jealous of Mia’s body...
George ignored the girls and asked, "Liam, do you know about the new student test realm?"
Last night, he had searched for information about the new student test at the Obsidian Academy, but there wasn’t much about the realm. And each realm was different.
The other students heard his question and leaned in.
"I’m not sure. The test realms change every year, but I guess they won’t be too hard," Liam said, shaking his head. It wasn’t that he didn’t want to say, but he really didn’t know.
The test realm and the college entrance exam realm were both secret.
The students around were a little disappointed.
George didn’t care. He talked with the group a little, and waited for the test to start.
The sun was rising, and soon a group of cars drove toward the playground.
George recognized them. They were from the Vermillion Phoenix Legion.
It made sense. The Vermillion Phoenix Legion was in charge of exploring all the realms, and the new student test realm would be handled by them.
"Quiet! Everyone line up in formation," a man on the platform said. It was the old man from yesterday.
The noisy students quickly calmed down and stood in lines.
The old man nodded in satisfaction and continued, "This year’s new student test realm is the Beast King Realm."
"The Beast King Realm?"
As soon as the old man said it, the crowd was in a buzz. Their faces were serious, and they started talking.
It seemed like this realm was very dangerous.
George was confused. He had just come to the Sovereign City, and he had never heard of this realm. He looked at Liam and asked, "Is this Beast King Realm famous?"
Liam nodded seriously. "It appeared seven years ago. It caused a big beast invasion. The leader was a 70-level SSR-tier Beast King. Two War Gods had to work together to kill it. It took more than four months to end the crisis."
"Such a strong one..."
After hearing his explanation, George was shocked. The leader of the boss had reached level 70, which was far beyond normal realms. Could students even explore such a realm now?
Even he wasn’t too confident.
"Don’t worry," the old man on the stage said, raising his voice to silence the students.
He continued, "This realm has already been explored. Monsters of different levels are spread out and divided into four passages: 30, 40, 50, and 60. Just choose the one that matches your strength."
After hearing this, the students relaxed a little.
But when they thought about the prize for first place in the new student test, they all got excited again.
They could handle 30-level monsters easily. But to get more points, they had to go into higher-level monster areas.
This was what most of them were thinking.
"Be careful and don’t end up failing the test," the old man said, as if he saw through their thoughts.
"Set up the entrance now. Everyone go in order. There are teachers patrolling the realm. If you get into trouble, ask for help right away," he reminded again before stepping down.
Then a group of soldiers came forward and quickly set up and arranged the formation.
"This looks like a teleportation array," George said in surprise. He felt a faint space energy wave. He had used one with Ares before, and he was familiar with this energy.
Mia explained, "George, this is the teleportation array that takes you to the Beast King Realm."
Could a teleportation array connect to a realm?
George was curious. He had never heard of such things before. It seemed there were still a lot of secrets in the world he didn’t know about.
Lily moved a little closer to him, watching Mia carefully.
No such thing as a kind act without a hidden motive.
"Why are you so close?" Mia smiled and teased. "This test doesn’t allow teams. You have to go alone."
"Mind your own business," Lily said, annoyed.
Soon, the teleportation array was ready. Students lined up and entered one by one.
The array wasn’t big, but it could send thirty people at a time.
Students stepped into the array, and then the light flashed. Their bodies suddenly disappeared.
"Amazing..."
The students below whispered, many of them seeing a teleportation array for the first time. They were curious and eager to try.
But probably after one ride, they wouldn’t want to use it again.
George thought to himself. He had used one before, and the feeling of his body and soul being torn apart wasn’t something he wanted to go through again.
The group moved forward in order, and one by one, they stepped into the array and disappeared.
It was finally George’s turn. He took a deep breath and reluctantly stepped into the array.
Liam and the others were also nervous. They were high-status people. They knew about teleportation arrays, but this was their first time using one.
The array activated, the light flashed, and suddenly everything spun around. His body and soul felt like they were being torn apart.
But this feeling was gone in a blink.
They appeared in a strange place.
Lily, Mia, and Emily looked pale, almost falling to their knees.
Liam and the others were also pale. Even George, who had prepared himself, felt really uncomfortable.
Some people even bent over and vomited.
"Move out of the way. Go forward. There’s someone to meet you," the soldiers nearby said impatiently.
George finally had a chance to look around. There were seven teleportation arrays here, and every now and then, light flashed as students kept arriving.
That meant seven colleges from the Sovereign City were taking part in this test.
These must be the top seven schools in the Sovereign City.
"Line up and come this way," a middle-aged man waved and called out.
George and the others immediately joined the line and walked forward.
"Hey, Kent?"
At that moment, someone in the other line caught George’s attention.
Kent looked pale, with dark circles under his eyes. His intellect was low, and he looked sickly.
It had been just a few days, but this guy looked like he had been through hell.
Had the thing with the Blazing Angel knights been exposed?
For some reason, when George saw him like that, he felt a little pity.
Taking away someone’s profession was really cruel.
At that moment, Kent seemed to feel George’s gaze. He turned and smiled, showing his white teeth. His lips moved, but no sound came out.
George, however, read his lips.
"You’re going to die!"
George narrowed his eyes. The pity he had just felt instantly disappeared.
Where did this guy get the confidence to be his enemy?
George didn’t think too much. He followed the line forward, and soon, four paths appeared ahead. Each led to a different monster area.
"Choose a path based on your strength. Don’t aim too high. Also, there are teachers patrolling each area. If you get into trouble, just ask for help. Alright, choose your path," a middle-aged man said again, then stepped back and let everyone choose.
"George, which path are you going to take?" Liam asked from behind, curious.
"60-level," George said without hesitation.
His strength had improved a lot now, and with Constantine and the others, beating 60-level monsters was easy.
Even if he faced a 60-level boss, he could fight. Even if he couldn’t kill it, there would be no danger.
"Is that too risky? The 60-level area has monsters between 60 to 70 levels," Mia said, worried.
Lily actually nodded in agreement. "Yeah, George, maybe you should still go to the 50-level area."
Most students chose the 30 or 40-level paths. No one chose the 50 or 60-level ones.
"I have confidence," George said confidently, telling them not to worry.
The line moved slowly, and soon it was their turn.
"Be careful, George," Lily said, hesitating a bit, then chose the 40-level monster path.
Liam and the others also chose the 40-level path. They were already level 40, which was enough to handle normal 40-level monsters. If they got into trouble, they could always ask for help and leave.
George didn’t hesitate. He walked confidently toward the farthest 60-level monster path.
The teachers in charge kept glancing at him. They had already guessed who he was.
"A 50-level adventurer going into the 60-level area is still pretty risky," one of them said quietly.
Others nodded in agreement, but since there were teachers around, it wouldn’t be too dangerous.
"Huh, who else chose the 60-level path?" A middle-aged woman looked at Kent walking toward the 60-level area, surprised.
