This is like a chemical reaction; it can only happen at a critical point.

Therefore, students need not only strong perseverance and resilience, but also sufficiently quick judgment.

After all, in such an extremely painful situation where one's internal organs feel like they're about to burst, most people only have two outcomes.

Either give up in advance, and all the suffering you've endured will be for nothing.

Either you persist to the end, but miss the last chance to leave.

The number of students who die in space simulators each year is no less than the number who die in actual combat.

So when Jin Shu chose to enter the cabin, the red light above her head lit up three times in a row.

"Attention, attention, there is a serious risk of death inside the space simulator."

Warning, warning! There is a serious risk of death inside the space simulator.

Are you sure you want to enter?

Jin Shu clicked to confirm.

"The space simulator cabin perfectly replicates the air pressure and temperature of real space."

Friendly reminder: Ordinary people with zero mental strength are not advised to enter; otherwise, they will bear the consequences themselves.

Mental strength is zero.

Isn't that Jin Shu they're talking about?

Then Jin Shu pressed the confirmation button a second time.

"Please note that you can exit the space simulation mode at any time after it is turned on. Please manage your usage time accordingly."

After clicking to confirm for the third time, the hatch in front of me finally opened.

Once inside, the space was only big enough for two people. It was a sealed space made of special materials on all sides. The confirmation button was right in front of her. Jin Shu held it in her hand and placed her thumb on the red stop button.

The cabin was completely silent, with not a sound of wind in her ears. Jin Shu closed her eyes and clicked the confirmation button one last time.

Almost instantly, Jin Shu's eyes widened, and two streams of bright red blood flowed from them. Her internal organs were being squeezed violently in that instant, and every pore in her body was blocked. A pain more intense than suffocation swept over her, and her brain almost stopped functioning. Her body felt like it was about to explode.

The lungs and heart felt like they were being torn apart and reassembled again and again, never given a chance to breathe before being torn apart once more.

Just then, Jin Shu pressed the button in her hand forcefully.

"Ho—!"

"Ho—!"

Like a dehydrated fish, she gasped for breath, her vision obscured by crimson blood. She rolled over, her entire body drenched in sweat. In the pain, she dared not even recall what had just happened. After struggling to crawl into the medical pod, Jin Shu immediately fainted.

When I got up again, I didn't know how much time had passed.

It didn't matter, because Jin Shu felt a very weak wisp of spiritual energy flowing through her body.

This is good news; it allows Jin Shu to instantly forget all her previous pain and stand up again to walk into the simulation chamber.

Having experienced the pain of the previous round, Jin Shu didn't give herself time to hesitate this time and clicked the confirmation button directly.

The familiar feeling of suffocation and strangulation swept over my entire body once again.

She closed her eyes, clenched her teeth, and lay on the ground in agony, unable to utter a sound.

Her body was undergoing a process of tearing and rebuilding. It didn't last long, only five seconds, but it felt like several hours had passed.

This time, she was still barely alive when she crawled into the medical pod. When she opened her eyes, she found that the frozen time was still continuing, so she couldn't stop.

The third stage is characterized by tearing, reassembly, and excruciating pain. It feels as if a mountain is pressing down on the body, and one can only watch helplessly as their internal organs are crushed into a pulp...

On the third attempt, she held on for fifteen seconds.

The fourth time, thirty seconds.

The fifth time, fifty-five seconds.

The sixth time, eighty-three seconds.

The seventh time, one hundred seconds.

Over several hours, she repeatedly sent herself to hell, and each time she relied on her tenacious will to survive to faint before entering the medical pod.

Twenty-seventh time: thirteen minutes.

The further she progressed, the slower her progress became.

Even though all of this was based on the fact that she held on until the very last second before her death each time.

After a whole night of life and death cycles, when Jin Shu woke up for the last time in the medical pod, the time on her watch started ticking again. She slowly got up, head down, and walked step by step toward the exit.

At this moment, Luo Lin, who hadn't slept all night, ran into Jin Shu again.

He couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark.

"You actually managed to hold out until the second day? Haven't you realized this isn't a place you can survive?"

Jin Shu simply lowered her head and walked forward. Luo Lin frowned and blocked her way.

"Om, do you know why some geese die in winter?"

Seeing that the other party ignored him, he could only talk to himself.

"Because it overestimated itself and tried to challenge the cold!"

"I don't know how the goose died, but if you block my way again, I'll know how you died right away."

"How did I die? Ha, tell me how... I... died..."

He swallowed back the sarcastic words that were already on the tip of his tongue.

He stood frozen in place like a wooden statue, only belatedly snapping out of his daze long after Jin Shu had left.

Finally, the oppressive feeling of being choked and unable to breathe disappeared.

He turned around blankly, staring at the deep underwater tunnel in front of him, his mind replaying Om's gaze.

It was eerie and cold, with a mechanical, icy gleam, devoid of any human emotion.

It was only now that he realized he had been so frightened by a single look from Om that he couldn't move, and a strong sense of unease welled up inside him.

What exactly did Om experience in this training room?

How did he transform into that cold, mecha-like figure in just two days?

Luo Lin dared not think too much about it; he could only throw himself into even more intense training.

He didn't have time to overthink things; there were only twenty-five days left until the exam, and he needed to make the most of every minute.

Jin Shu had no idea how much damage her single glance had caused Luo Lin, because she simply didn't have the energy to pay attention to the messy things around her.

Mechanically, I returned to my room, closed the door, and then my body involuntarily collapsed onto the bed.

In an instant, he lost consciousness.

When I woke up again, it was pitch black outside the window.

Jin Shu checked the time; it was one in the morning.

In other words, she slept for almost a day and a night.

It was almost time, so she got up, quickly washed up, and then headed to the training room.

This time, she met Peiya.

The glory of the Frant family; the only person on the entire Little Blue Star who is confident of getting into the Alliance Military Academy.

"Om, what despicable methods did you use on Rolin?"

Jin Shu thought for a moment, then shook her head.

"I have always acted with integrity and honesty, so don't slander me."

“Luo Lin has changed since you appeared! He’s the way he is now because of you. If you know what’s good for you, leave my house.”
