He paused, giving everyone a moment to digest the information. Then, in an incredibly solemn tone, he began to introduce the core rules of this Heaven-Reaching Tower.

"You must remember the most important point: Canaan Tower has a total of nine hundred and ninety-nine floors."

"From the first to the one hundredth floor, you will face the spiritual phantoms of a vast number of Level 4 Alien Race life forms, chosen from the tens of thousands of cosmic races recorded in the Imperial Database."

"From the one hundred and first to the two hundredth floor are the spiritual phantoms of a massive number of Fifth-level Life Forms."

"And so on, up to the six hundredth floor, where you will find the spiritual phantoms of Ninth-level Life Forms. Everything up to this point is considered the Outer Tower."

"Because from the six hundred and first floor onward, you will no longer face those Alien Races. You will face a far more terrifying foe—the recorded images of the true, peerless prodigies from the 2.2-billion-year history of our Cannan Star Martial Arts University, who left behind their own legends of invincibility!"

"Their strength and their Combat Wisdom are far greater, far more terrifying, than all the phantoms of the myriad races on the previous six hundred floors!"

"All the way to the nine hundred and ninety-ninth floor, you will be challenging these legendary predecessors who stand at the pinnacle of the Human Race’s Martial Dao history!"

"If you succeed in your challenge, you will be able to leave behind your own phantom!"

"Oh, and there isn’t just one phantom per floor. Only the nine hundred and ninety-ninth floor has a single one; the number of phantoms on the other floors varies. Some have over a hundred, others have dozens."

"The Canaan Tower is linked to the Subspace. You can enter it through the Subspace Network, and just like in the Imperial Arena, death upon failure will not affect you in the real world."

These words sent a tingling numbness through the scalps of all the new students.

Challenge the legends!

Surpass the predecessors!

This was the path of growth that Cannan Star Martial Arts University had prepared for them—the most brutal, and also the most glorious!

"By climbing the tower, you can earn massive amounts of ’Contribution Points’."

The volunteer Martial Artist’s voice was filled with temptation. "Of course, the prerequisite for obtaining all of this is that you must be strong enough."

He changed the subject and began to explain some basic information about daily life.

"As for your personal living quarters and exclusive Martial Arts Cultivation Chambers, the university has already assigned them to you free of charge. You can log in to your personal terminals and find the specific coordinates within your mentor’s private domain."

"The Imperial mission system and the university’s internal mission system are also now open to you. You are free to accept any missions that interest you, and upon completion, you will also receive Contribution Points. However..."

His tone became serious once more.

"I must remind you that when you are on a mission, the university offers no guarantee for your safety. Matters of life and death are your own responsibility."

"As for all the resources you need for your cultivation—such as Elixir Pills, Celestial and Earthly Treasures, high-level Cultivation Techniques, and so on—the university provides none of them. You will need to use your own Contribution Points, or Imperial Coins, to purchase them yourselves from the on-campus ’Imperial Trading House’."

These words vividly showcased the core philosophy of Cannan Star Martial Arts University: freedom, cruelty, and absolute fairness.

This place did not nurture the idle, let alone coddle greenhouse flowers.

If you wanted something, you had to fight for it with your own two hands!

After explaining everything, the volunteer Martial Artist faced the three hundred thousand new students and gave them an Imperial Army salute.

"My task is now complete. I wish you all a bright future."

With that, he turned and left, disappearing into the bustling crowd.

The three hundred thousand new students stood in place, digesting the massive amount of information they had just received.

In everyone’s eyes, an unprecedented flame ignited—a flame called "ambition" and "desire."

Qin Feng was no exception.
