The warship patrolled over Seoul. Jiang Yuan rested in the recovery cabin while having Gu Anlei use Life Sigh every twelve hours. Restoring 20% ​​of his health in one go was very important to Jiang Yuan at this moment.

"Jiang Yuan, we've found the giant snake that was mentioned on the newbie forum!"

Suddenly, the warship stopped above a swamp. It was clear that this swamp was once part of the city, but over the years, it had changed beyond recognition.

"Zoom in on the image, let me confirm the other party's identity!" Jiang Yuan sat up from the recovery chamber. His injuries had mostly healed. Gu Anlei had used Life Sigh twice within twelve hours, and with his own self-healing ability, his injuries had recovered by 70%.

Gu Anlei activated the aperture radar to capture the opponent's location, and after confirming the opponent's figure, she continuously transmitted images of the spirit beasts in the swamp through optical imaging.

In the bubbling swamp, a giant snake nearly a hundred meters long crawls on the muddy ground. The skyscrapers that once stood there are now submerged in this swamp, appearing as slightly larger toys in front of this behemoth.

The giant serpent had a triangular head, and the sound of its tongue flicking echoed throughout the swamp at an extremely low frequency. Its vertical pupils gave it an extremely cold and sinister feel. It was a cold-blooded beast king.

"This guy might be involved in the Beast King Project too!"

Jiang Yuan had read the Bee Queen's memories. Although he couldn't know which beast kings were involved, there was no doubt that all the beast kings in Hancheng were qualified to participate.

"Celestial Spirit Realm, Stage Two. Should we use a warship to attack?" Gu Anlei asked Jiang Yuan after seeing the giant snake's realm.

The warship is equipped with a Celestial-class weapon system, which is certainly powerful enough. However, the warship also has obvious drawbacks: its attacks are slow and easy to dodge, and it takes a long time to charge up. Once the attack is dodged, the warship may be destroyed. After all, this giant snake is a huge creature that is tens of meters long and has a natural cover in the swamp.

“Warships are suitable for large-scale wars, but they are not needed in this kind of situation!” Jiang Yuan was well aware of the advantages and disadvantages of warships. They could play an unexpected advantage in battles involving thousands of people, but their role here was limited.

Gu Anlei asked, somewhat puzzled, "Why did we have to provoke this giant snake?"

Jiang Yuan did not explain, but instead instructed Gu Anlei to park the warship on an open area outside the swamp.

After putting away their warship, the two began walking deeper into the swamp. Since the giant snake would spend most of its time hiding at the bottom of the swamp, the two had to relocate the snake's position.

"I heard that the academy's major departments have begun to merge. The three departments of Strength, Soul, and Spirit have come together, while the School of Science and Technology and the School of Comprehensive Studies have formed another team."

During the warship's patrol, Gu Anlei also learned a lot about the freshman forum, and she was aware of all the major and minor events on it.

"What about you? You spend eight out of twelve hours surfing the forum. Can't you put more effort into your cultivation?" Jiang Yuan was speechless at Gu Anlei's behavior of spending all her time online chatting with people, not caring that her cultivation level was stuck at the ninth stage of the Void Spirit Realm.

"You said it yourself, cultivation is something that happens naturally, you can't rush it!" Gu Anlei said with a smile, completely unconcerned about Jiang Yuan's criticism.

"I mean, you can't rush it, but you should at least try!" Jiang Yuan pushed aside the huge vegetation in front of him, revealing the entire swamp to the two of them.

"Hey, why is this freshman with the ID 'Red Feather' so annoying? He's always stirring up trouble on the forum. If he's so belligerent, why did he even come to the academy? He should just join the army!" Gu Anlei muttered behind Jiang Yuan.

Upon hearing the name Chi Yu, Jiang Yuan raised an eyebrow. The name felt familiar; he should have heard it before, but he had heard so many names that he couldn't recall it at first.

"He's supposed to be one of the leading figures in the School of Science and Technology, but all he does is lead the freshmen around aimlessly. Although the results are not bad, the casualty rate is already the highest among the five major departments. Doesn't he know how to restrain himself?" Gu Anlei gave a harsh thumbs down to Chi Yu's post calling for war.

"Stop surfing, get your weapons ready. It's up to you to deal fatal damage to the giant snake now!" Jiang Yuan turned to look at Gu Anlei.

Gu Anlei gave an awkward smile before putting away her smart brain and taking out the warship's weapon. It was a plasma cannon, whose spiritual energy array could heat the deuterium elements to a million-degree annihilation state in just ten seconds. If it hit, even a Heavenly Spirit Realm cultivator couldn't withstand it.

"Jiang Yuan, are you sure I won't be ionized?" Gu Anlei was still a little worried. With the warship's weapons turning into handheld cannons, who wouldn't be scared?

"Don't worry, as long as you're at full health, it will only take away a maximum of 20% of your health at a time!" Jiang Yuan said confidently.

"Ten seconds to charge, by the time I'm done, the giant snake will have already disappeared into the swamp!" Gu Anlei glanced at the enormous thing on her shoulder and felt it was unreliable. This weapon could have been placed on a warship, but Jiang Yuan had forcibly removed it for the purpose of catching the enemy off guard.

"I'll buy you some time!"

Jiang Yuan reached out and pressed his hand on Gu Anlei's cheek and neck, then solemnly warned, "Also, remember, true strength lies in the strength of the heart."

Gu Anlei muttered under her breath, "They're clearly afraid I'll mess things up!"

As soon as the voice fell, the mud in the swamp churned, and Jiang Yuan quickly led Gu Anlei to lie in ambush.

A well-hidden head emerged from the swamp, its cold pupils peering towards the edge. Jiang Yuan and Gu Anlei also glanced over cautiously. It turned out to be a bovine spirit beast at the ninth level of the True Spirit Realm that had wandered into the swamp.
