Subsequently, Zhou Yan discovered that this place not only increased the consumption of their spiritual power by tens of times, but also their physical strength and movement were enhanced by dozens of times compared to usual.
To quickly eliminate ten thousand monsters within a single day was undoubtedly a very severe test, and many even felt they could not accomplish it.
"These monsters are all from the seventy-seventh heavenly realm. Is this arranged according to my strength? No wonder everyone is not in the same place."
Zhou Yan began to control his strength, not allowing his physical strength to be depleted too much. He strode forward, charged into the monsters, and began to kill them.
In front of him, there was also a counter for the number of monsters killed. Killing ten thousand monsters within a day was not an easy task for many.
As time passed, everyone's consumption grew more severe. They could not use any external force to recover their strength and could only rely on themselves.
After killing for several hours, many had to find a place to recover their physical strength and spiritual power. However, this would make it impossible to complete the objective within a day.
Everyone was looking for a solution and contemplating everything here.
Then, they all saw these monsters. These monsters, like them, also required the same expenditure of physical strength to fight.
After careful observation, these individuals finally discovered something. These monsters could actually control the dissipation of their strength very well.
Everyone understood. What they needed to learn today was how to master the dissipation of their own strength.
Gu Long and a few others stood in front of a huge screen and said, "These students are quite smart; they quickly grasped the key."
"After all, they are top students from the four major academies. If they were too stupid, how could they break through?" Instructor Bei Junya also said.
"You adjusted the monsters differently for each student based on their strength, but the monsters assigned to Zhou Yan's side seem a bit too strong. They even included monsters from the eighty-eighth heavenly realm," the last instructor, Wen Ling, said.
"Don't underestimate this guy. With his strength, he can handle the highest level of training. If it weren't the first day, I would have increased the difficulty of the test even further," Gu Long said.
Wen Ling exchanged glances with the other, seeing anticipation in their eyes. They clearly wanted to see if Zhou Yan could endure it.
Since it was training, these students would undoubtedly undergo meaningful training. Every training session and every training space served an important purpose. Whether they could comprehend it and discover its intricacies depended on their own understanding.
As Zhou Yan continued killing, he also encountered monsters from the eighty-eighth heavenly realm. Although a little surprised, Zhou Yan was not overly worried. He had already gained control over the power within his body and began to kill these monsters.
Using these monsters to achieve perfect mastery of the power within his body was the objective of the first day's training.
This was a special training space, and the time flow here was naturally different from the outside. What seemed like only half a month of special training was actually much longer.
The first day of training concluded. The students of the Divine Dragon Academy naturally completed their tasks, but half of the students from the four major academies still failed to complete the mission.
Gu Long imposed punishments, but considering it was the first day, he did not make it too difficult for them.
The day passed just like that. Zhou Yan and the others commenced their devilish training, and each training session had a different objective for everyone.
Even Zhou Yan felt immense pressure because Gu Long seemed to intentionally try to push their potential to its limits by setting extremely demanding objectives. Zhou Yan could only strive with all his might to complete them.
Days passed, and even the students of the Divine Dragon Academy were exhausted like dead dogs after each training session, indicating how arduous their training was.
However, following the training, Zhou Yan and the others felt their own strength improving.
They had initially thought the training would continue like this indefinitely, but they were lords. How could it only be training for their own bodies?
There was also training for their territories, which had not yet begun.
Half a month passed, and Zhou Yan and the others were finally informed that the time flow in this space was different from the outside and that they would be notified when it ended.
Zhou Yan and the others could all imagine that they would suffer torment for a long time to come.
The devilish instructor Gu Long!
This was Zhou Yan's moniker for him. This moniker also existed among the students of the Divine Dragon Academy; it wasn't only Zhou Yan and his peers who referred to him this way.
For Zhou Yan and the others' training, it covered strength, speed, reaction, spiritual power control, perception, dealing with various traps and mechanisms, the application of breaking formations...
Anyone who was not up to par would undergo double the training, which forced many students to persist desperately. Even Zhou Yan had been punished.
Gu Long seemed to intentionally set impossible tasks for them, forcing them to accept punishment.
The resentment towards Gu Long grew with each passing moment, yet they had no choice but to obey.
Every time Gu Long saw the resentful expressions on the students' faces, he felt immense satisfaction.
What he wanted was the students' refusal to yield, that sense of unwillingness.
A submissive student made for uninteresting training.
Three months passed.
The training methods finally changed.
Next, training began for each person's territory.
There was offense, defense, targeted attacks with specific numbers against a target, and deliberately placing soldiers in desperate situations to break through.
There was even command and battle against endless armies.
This was training their combat capabilities. Although this training was not directed at each lord's body, it was solely aimed at their minds, forcing them to constantly devise various countermeasures.
However, these battles were the simplest for Zhou Yan.
The primary reason was that Zhou Yan's territory had too many wise and strategic talents leading the troops.
This, in turn, led to Gu Long severely targeting Zhou Yan. Zhou Yan's territory had many people?
Then let Zhou Yan face tens of millions of enemies. If tens of millions were not enough, then a hundred million. They would torment him in any way possible.
This training was not just for Zhou Yan himself but also for the generals of Zhou Yan's entire territory.
After these training sessions, they all grew significantly and learned a great deal. This was all thanks to Gu Long's targeted attacks, using various powerful soldiers to attack them.
He also deliberately made the soldiers under Zhou Yan fail. Sometimes, when they were close to winning, Gu Long would shamelessly summon an army, causing the soldiers under Zhou Yan to lose consecutively for over a month.
In any case, they were not allowed to let Zhou Yan's soldiers win. This left the generals under Zhou Yan feeling helpless yet furious, each striving with all their might to win a single battle.
Although Gu Long's methods were despicable, it had to be said that this coercive method was very effective, allowing the soldiers under Zhou Yan to grow rapidly.
Of course, this was not just aimed at Zhou Yan alone but at all students. They all received the same treatment. In Gu Long's hands, these students were always defeated.
This made Zhou Yan experience the pain of being on the receiving end of "cheating." Previously, he was the one who "cheated" and crushed others. Now, after experiencing it himself, he finally understood this pain.
To be honest, it was truly unbearable.
