Two days later.

Desert Abyss City

The number of Professionals is increasing, mostly because many from outside have been called back.

Gathering together to chat, the topics always revolve around the people they encountered on the way.

"I encountered that Giant, it was incredible! I saw him tear that Desert God Scorpion apart directly."

"It was indeed terrifying, and his stamina seemed endless, hunting Abyssal Creatures every moment!"

"I encountered someone like the Empress, casting magic from a great distance and turning a large oasis into a sea of fire!

I’ve never seen such a large-scale magic."

"I don’t know how Shen Fei sustains this consumption, how do his two Summoned Beasts manage to be so far apart."

The crowd was buzzing with discussion.

Mainly because the battle achievements were too astounding.

He simply took over the Second Floor of the Abyss as he wished.

Tier Five Abyssal Creatures died just like that.

And with people like Wang Yun, who had seen Shen Fei’s college entrance examination video, everyone came to know who Shen Fei really was.

An eighteen-year-old, freshly enrolled freshman?

Tier Six combat power, adding these two words together seems so niche.

But having personally seen the Empress destroy the entire Tree Demon Abyss invasion with just a few spells, along with the scene of slaying the Tier Six Dragon Scale Demon Tree.

No matter how niche the words were, they had to believe it.

...

Inside the command room.

Wang Yiqi looked at the reconnaissance team’s returned information and turned to Shen Fei, who was adjusting the holographic map.

"You are truly amazing, the damage caused by your Summoned Beasts might even be more terrifying than that of a normal Tier Six Professional."

"This is the War School method."

Shen Fei smiled, these two days of slaughter directly elevated him by two levels.

However, the experience provided by Tier Three Abyssal Creatures was getting quite little, even scarce.

But there were just so many of them that it forcefully pushed him up two levels.

He had reached Level 38, and his Talent had four extraction chances saved.

Surely, the Abyss was his battlefield, while the Abyss Edge and dungeons were too petty.

"What War School method, it’s only because you and that person have Summoned Beasts stronger than the sole Profession of the same tier that you can achieve this."

Wang Yiqi quipped.

He had never seen someone able to control Summoned Beasts remotely, operating from a command room, yet have such a grasp of the situation.

"You’re right, but this is indeed the War School method."

"Alright, alright, War School method it is."

Wang Yiqi shook his head. Knowing that Shen Fei was the disciple of that person.

Naturally, there wasn’t much to worry about.

He continued, "I’ve already reported the current situation up.

There should soon be a large influx of population occupying this place."

"Population?"

"You don’t think simply exterminating all Abyssal Creatures means taking over the Abyss, do you?"

"So I kindly ask Brother Wang to enlighten me." Shen Fei was eager to learn, having been explained about Second Transformation Professionals by Shen Qingyue two days ago.

And having Wang Yiqi, who had long been stationed in the Abyss and knew it thoroughly, was also valuable.

"Today, let me, your elder brother, chat with you!"

"Let me ask you, what does the Abyss rely on to invade Blue Star?" Wang Yiqi sat opposite Shen Fei, asking with a smile.

"Abyss Edge and Pollution Core."

"Right, Pollution Core creates the Abyss Edge, so tell me, what’s opposed to the Pollution Core?"

After all, Wang Yiqi was also the leader of the Breaking Abyss Army, and a Tier Six at that, so the fact that the Pollution Core was a ’concept of the Abyss’ was top secret to the outside world.

For him, it was just information.

And the same for Shen Fei.

"Awakening Stone."

"Correct, the Awakening Stone is a fragment of a meteorite, so let me ask you, what’s the largest Awakening Stone?"

Shen Fei pondered for a moment, "The largest Awakening Stone should be that once-descending meteorite, and that..."

Shen Fei recalled what Zhu Xiao had told him, that the descended meteorite had actually disappeared, as it had fused into the souls of everyone on Blue Star.

"So, essentially, are Professionals mobile Awakening Stones?"

"Smart, now think about why Professionals get stronger from the feedback of Blue Star’s Heavenly Dao when they hunt Abyssal Creatures..."

Shen Fei thought deeply and began to realize, "In essence... the level of a Professional is akin to an Awakening Stone’s increase, meaning that every Professional can help Blue Star expand and claim territory in the Abyss?"

"Exactly."

Wang Yiqi nodded, "You’ve grasped the essence of it. Moreover, the higher the tier of the Professional, the larger the area they can oversee.

This area is temporarily considered Blue Star’s territory.

And no Abyssal Creatures will appear there."

"Another key point, the Tier Three or First Transformation stage involves re-contacting the Awakening Stone, activating the power of the alien meteorite in the Professional’s soul..."

Shen Fei absorbed the information, "Because there are fewer high-tier Professionals, although they are more impactful, their total number can’t match that of low-tier Professionals..."

"Indeed. That’s why opening up the Abyss requires at least Tier Three and, for population migration, mainly Tier One and Two Professionals."

"Initially, there were no towns like Zhenyuan City when opening the Abyss, requiring strong individuals to oversee it first."

"Later, even low-tier Professionals could enter the Abyss, but most were from the Breaking Abyss Army..." Wang Yiqi explained thoroughly.

Shen Fei nodded, realizing and suddenly thinking of a question.

"So, have some parts of the Abyss already been inhabited?"

"Yes. Some Abysses have already been conquered.

Of course, it’s few, and they’ve been transformed into Secret Realms by some schools and major organizations..."

"Because apart from leveling up, the Abyss’s unique environment can also produce special items, etc."

Shen Fei felt himself gradually coming into contact with another aspect of Blue Star, a deeper side of the Professional and Abyss Era.

Beyond mere life-and-death struggles.

"There are organizations, like the Great Wall Engineering University, that prefer to forcibly drag and merge the Abyss into the national territory.

This is permissible, but it is their school’s unique Secret Technique, and I’ve heard that students at their school can trade Abyss area for rewards."

Wang Yiqi laughed, "You’ll learn of these when you join some powerful organizations or enter the Breaking Abyss Army in your junior or senior year.

But with your capability, knowing in advance doesn’t hurt."

Wang Yiqi chuckled.

Just as Shen Fei was about to express his gratitude, the Heart Demon Flower Maiden in his mind suddenly said, "Master, Sister Little Xian has an urgent matter to report!"

The Stabbing Immortal’s voice came through, though it was a mental transmission, there was a distinct personal tone, making it easy to recognize.

’Master, there really are demons deep within the Desert God’s domain.

Six Tier Six, dozens of Tier Five, and over a hundred Tier Four and Tier Three.

In front are the array from before at the Abyss Edge.’

Listening to Stabbing Immortal, Shen Fei frowned and murmured, "Demon traces?"

"Demon traces?"

Wang Yiqi paused, wondering how they suddenly mentioned demon traces.

Shen Fei looked at Wang Yiqi and said, "My Summoned Beast discovered demon traces, they seem to be planning to open an Abyssal Passage in this second layer."

"Opening another Abyssal Passage within an Abyss? They must be insane, aren’t two Abysses already in contention enough?

Adding another would plunge everything into chaos. And what are their intentions?"

Wang Yiqi suddenly looked at Shen Fei, "Could their target be you?"
