"What is that?" the students outside exclaimed upon seeing the nuclear bombs falling from the sky.
"It must be missiles, launched from Zhou Yan's territory. They look powerful, but I wonder how strong their impact is."
They didn't overthink it. Ordinary missiles would be useless against monsters of this caliber.
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
At this moment, three mushroom clouds rose into the sky. The terrifying sound of the explosions stunned everyone.
The entire screen was filled with the sight of these three mushroom clouds; nothing else could be seen.
The expressions on people's faces were like this: "┗┃・□・┃┛, L(・o・)』, (ŎдŎ；), (/•ิ_•ิ)/, (˘•灬•˘)......"
They were stunned again!
They looked at all of this in disbelief.
What kind of attack was this?
How could the power be so terrifying?
If Zhou Yan's territory had such defenses, who could possibly breach it?
With such defenses, it wouldn't be an issue to traverse the entire Lord Continent!
Was this truly a new lord?
......
......
Everyone's hearts were filled with complex emotions—bewilderment and shock.
Even Chu Luoyan was stunned once more. She had never imagined that Zhou Yan's territory harbored such powerful attacks; it was truly astonishing.
No one could see the scene clearly and had no idea if the monsters were dead.
The power of the explosions continued for several minutes before a sliver of the scene became visible.
When everyone finally saw the images clearly, they fell silent again.
In front of Zhou Yan's territory, there were no monsters left. Not even a trace of them remained.
All the monsters had vanished into smoke and dust amidst the explosions, not even a drop of blood left behind.
The power of those three missiles was truly terrifying.
These were nuclear attacks, and their power was naturally immense.
The so-called radiation might be dangerous in an ordinary world, but in this high-martial world, there were far more potent things than radiation. This radiation would not affect things too much.
Seeing that the monsters outside his territory had finally disappeared, Zhou Yan declared, "Now you know how powerful I am!"
In the past, Zhou Yan would certainly not have used such an attack.
But now, his own cultivation realm had reached over seventy levels, and his territory possessed two top-tier powerhouses. With such powerful defenses for his territory, what was there to fear!
Since he was already this powerful, he would simply display it!
In the past, he had to lay low due to insufficient strength!
Now that he possessed absolute power to protect himself, there was no need to hide it.
He was powerful, he was excellent, and he wanted everyone to know his might!
This trial had indeed shown everyone the might of Zhou Yan's territory. With such defenses, it was hard to say he was invincible across the Lord Continent, but they felt few could breach his territory.
Chu Luoyan found herself at a disadvantage against a student for the first time.
This was the first time she felt unable to handle a student, and the first time she experienced failure, and it was at the hands of a student.
Suddenly, Chu Luoyan began to laugh.
The Phantom Night Rakshasa, Chu Luoyan, was actually laughing!
It was fortunate that no one else could see her expression, or they would have been utterly shocked, as no one had ever seen her smile before, let alone with such joy.
The fact that Chu Luoyan had attacked without holding back showed she was a ruthless individual, one who showed no mercy. It was understandable that everyone feared her, a person who dared to summon a max-level diamond-quality entity against a student's territory.
"Interesting, very interesting. I didn't expect you to be so powerful!"
Seeing how formidable Zhou Yan's territory was, Chu Luoyan immediately realized that Zhou Yan was the hidden first-place winner of this novice trial.
Unprecedented and unparalleled, the ultimate novice winner would undoubtedly be this Zhou Yan.
Chu Luoyan's smile faded, and she returned to her usual icy demeanor, but she had already set her sights on Zhou Yan, vowing to interact with him more in the future.
With such a woman targeting him, Zhou Yan's future days might be difficult.
Ten minutes later, seeing that there were no more monsters outside his territory, Zhou Yan instructed Zhang Liang, "This trial is so extreme, I doubt many will pass. Dispatch one hundred thousand soldiers to scout the area."
"Yes," Zhang Liang replied with a nod.
Then, Zhou Yan turned to Jin Ye and said, "Let's go out and see what we can collect."
"Okay," Jin Ye quickly agreed.
Zhou Yan then said to Diao Chan and the others, "You all stay here. I'll lead the soldiers out myself this time."
"Mm."
It was just a trial organized by the academy, and they weren't particularly interested. They returned to the [Meditation Chamber] to continue cultivating or went to the [Martial Arts Space] to practice their skills.
Zhou Yan led a thousand cavalry. An Tian and Liuli also emerged from the [Meditation Chamber] and naturally accompanied Zhou Yan.
As for the others, Zhou Yan only called upon Wu Song, Yan Chixia, and Zhang Wuji. The rest were instructed to lead their respective soldiers out.
Thus, the soldiers of Zhou Yan's territory finally began to explore the area outside the territory.
However, upon seeing the troops emerging from the territory, the students were once again stunned.
"Look, the soldiers from Zhou Yan's territory are coming out... Holy cow, so many cavalry!"
"Damn it! How many cavalry has this Zhou Yan assembled? Look, these mounts are not warhorses; they are definitely more powerful than warhorses!"
"My god, have you noticed? These are all cavalry, and they all have mounts. With so many cavalry, how much money must it have cost to assemble them!"
"This is too terrifying, too rich. Is he really from our cohort? I feel like we are on completely different levels from him."
"Alas! It is truly our misfortune to have such a monstrous individual appear in our cohort. Alas!"
......
Even the instructors exchanged glances, deeply shocked. A territory this large, even with hundreds of thousands of troops, they could accept.
But this was one hundred thousand cavalry!
A full one hundred thousand cavalry!
Even ordinary warhorses, ten thousand warhorses, would be a considerable sum.
And Zhou Yan's soldiers, many of them were not ordinary combatants; they had various powerful mounts. They didn't know what to say about such financial power.
With Zhou Yan's strength, he could truly venture directly into the Lord Continent without any pressure.
