Su Bai watched the man's retreating figure, realizing he was just an ordinary person, so he didn't make a fuss about it, treating it as a minor episode and not giving it much thought.

  After paying two days' rent, Su Bai returned to his room and started calculating his assets.

  The resources he had accumulated before were almost entirely depleted.

  Having finally gotten back on his feet, Su Bai found himself once again plunged into financial poverty.

  Moreover, the risk of selling blood had increased significantly.

  At the intermediate level, Little Eight's essence blood could be used to create resources equivalent to medicinal pills.

  Once he reached a higher level, the quality of his bloodline improved significantly compared to the intermediate level.

  If he were to sell this blood and arouse suspicion, it would be akin to courting death.

  His relationship with the Han family wasn't good enough to take such a risk for some cultivation resources, so Su Bai naturally wouldn't expose himself to such danger.

  With the blood-selling route closed off, Su Bai thought long and hard but couldn't come up with a good solution, so he could only consider going to the Myriad Races Battlefield to see if there were any opportunities.

  ...

  Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

  The morning of September 18th.

  Martial Academy Internal Teleportation Plaza.

  Over three thousand new students from the Martial Academy and seventy to eighty instructors stood in front of three teleportation arrays, waiting to be transported.

  The students were all dressed in training uniforms, holding shields in their left hands and battle blades in their right, their expressions solemn.

  The teleportation arrays at the Martial Academy were set up by high-level space-type superpowered individuals dispatched by the military.

  Once the teleportation array was activated, it could transport those within it to the corresponding military base on the Myriad Races Battlefield.

  The three teleportation arrays at the school corresponded to different races of the Myriad Races, but all were F-level battlefields that had been cleared, generally quite safe.

  These three thousand students were divided into three groups, entering in batches.

  In front of Class Eight's team.

  Liao Yuxin, dressed in autumn camouflage training gear, carried a blood-red spear on her back.

  This text was taken from Royal Road. Help the author by reading the original version there.

  She walked past each student, checking their equipment and explaining the precautions for going to the Myriad Races Battlefield:

  "This time on the Myriad Races Battlefield, we will be assigned to a military base at the rear of the battlefield to perform cleanup tasks, which is relatively safe and an opportunity for us to gain experience provided by the school."

  "During the battlefield cleanup, you must remain vigilant. Many fierce beasts, though fallen, may not be entirely dead, but rather lying in wait for a chance to deliver a fatal blow to humans!..."

  After checking all the weapons and equipment of Class Eight, Liao Yuxin returned to the front of the team.

  "Report to the chief instructor, all 50 students of Class Eight are ready and accounted for, prepared to head to the battlefield at any time, awaiting orders!"

  Zhang Kai glanced around at the students of Class Eight and nodded:

  "Enter the teleportation array and await transport!"

  "Yes!"

  After saluting the chief instructor, Liao Yuxin jogged back to her classmates, leading them into the teleportation array to line up.

  One class after another, under the guidance of their instructors, stepped into the teleportation array.

  Once all twenty-five classes, totaling over twelve hundred students, were assembled, the chief instructor loudly commanded:

  "Activate Teleportation Array One!"

  The stone floor beneath the students' feet, initially empty, slowly revealed silver-white patterns, which gradually became clear from their initial blur.

  In the next instant, the students felt a blur before their eyes and found themselves in an unfamiliar place.

  Where stone floors once lay beneath their feet, there was now grass.

  The school's buildings had vanished, and all that was visible were the high walls and thick earth of a military camp.

  Guard posts every five steps, watchtowers every ten, filled the long military camp walls.

  This was one of the military bases on the Myriad Races Battlefield!

  The students realized they had been transported to the Myriad Races Battlefield!

  "Is this the military base within the Myriad Races Battlefield?"

  "It must be. We've really been transported here."

  As the students chatted in small groups, a military officer with the rank of major walked into the teleportation plaza of the military base.

  Annoyed by the noisy students, the major, unlike a school teacher, had little patience and no time to wait for them to quiet down on their own, so he shouted:

  "Quiet down, all of you!"

  Instantly, the entire area fell silent.

  The students widened their eyes, looking at the officer with a mix of awe and respect.

  "I am the deputy commander of Military Base F269. You can call me Deputy Commander or simply Officer."

  "Once you arrive on the Myriad Races Battlefield, you are no longer students and instructors of the Martial Academy but soldiers!"

  "I don't care if you're a student or a leading instructor."

  "As long as you're on my turf, your task is to follow my orders!"

  "Let me be clear, anyone who dares defy orders will, according to Article 54 of the military's seventh prohibition on the Myriad Races Battlefield, have their status as students or instructors of the Martial Academy revoked."

  "In severe cases, I have the authority to execute on the spot!"

  Seeing the solemn expressions of the students and instructors, the deputy commander nodded in satisfaction.

  Having established his authority, the deputy commander's icy demeanor softened slightly.

  "You're in luck. Yesterday, our military base just finished a battle."

  "For the next period, your task is to clean up the battlefield and sweep up any remaining Nether Cats. During the cleanup, any resources you acquire can be exchanged for military merit points with the military."

  "Although the military merit points earned from cleaning the battlefield aren't as much as those from killing Nether Cats, it's safe, which is quite suitable for newcomers like you who are just starting to train on the battlefield."

  "In the logistics department, one military merit point can be exchanged for ten thousand in cash, ten points for a bottle of Blood Qi Powder, fifteen for a regular Body Tempering Potion, and thirty for a rare Body Tempering Potion."

  The deputy commander paused here, giving the students time to digest the information.

  Every batch of Martial Academy students was most excited when they heard about exchanging military merit for resources.

  Tao Jiajun nudged Fan Chao'an with his elbow: "No wonder there are so many martial artists in the army; these military merits are so valuable!"

  Fan Chao'an responded quietly: "The key is that Blood Qi Powder, which sells for three hundred thousand on the black market, can be exchanged here for just ten military merit points. It's so cheap that if I had the chance, I'd be willing to risk my life for military merit!"

  Other students were also buzzing about exchanging military merit for cultivation resources.

  Even Su Bai's eyes lit up.

  He had been worrying about how to earn money for cultivation resources and had originally thought of trying his luck on the Myriad Races Battlefield.

  Hearing that only ten military merit points were needed to exchange for Blood Qi Powder, he felt even more hopeful.

  Seeing everyone's enthusiasm, the deputy commander continued:

  "Seeing how eager you all are to head to the Myriad Races Battlefield, I won't waste any more time. Let's get familiar with the camp, and then I'll take you out to clean up the battlefield."

  The military's efficiency was on full display, and after the deputy commander finished speaking, he led the Martial Academy students and instructors out of the teleportation plaza.

  This scene surprised many of the Martial Academy instructors. Shouldn't a company commander or another subordinate be leading them to familiarize themselves with the camp and battlefield?

  It was the first time in years that a deputy commander personally led a team, which was indeed novel.

  Since the deputy commander was willing to lead personally, the instructors were at most curious and naturally had no objections.

  However, the instructors failed to notice a detail: while speaking, the deputy commander's gaze wandered among the students, as if searching for someone.
