Chapter 51 The Cave Shocks Everyone
Bai Ruoxi kept asking questions, leaving the audience somewhat confused.
I want to ask questions, but I don't know where to begin.
Bai Ruoxi continued, "Originally, you would only be informed of certain situations after you reached the third rank."
However, you are all elites who have stood out from more than 1000 new students, and reaching the third rank is only a matter of time for you.
So there are some things I can tell you in advance.
Bai Ruoxi's face no longer showed any arrogance, but she said calmly, "The reason why martial artists are given preferential treatment is not only because of their strength."
Perhaps some of you are martial arts elders who have heard the term "cave" more or less.
Of course, even those who know and understand this have limited knowledge.
To ensure your smooth development and to avoid putting too much pressure on you, even if elders in your family are aware of the situation, they generally won't disclose the details.
"As for how the underground cave came about, no one knows for sure, not even grandmasters like the principal."
I only learned of the existence of the underground cave after I reached the third rank.
"And why martial artists receive special treatment, and the relationship between the underground caves and martial artists, that's what I want to talk about."
The entire faculty fell silent, listening intently to what Bai Ruoxi was about to say.
Bai Ruoxi didn't say much, but everything revolved around one word—the underground cave!
Bai Ruoxi said, "How the underground cave came about is still a matter of debate in the martial arts world."
The cave is a world located underground, but it is different from others.
The government once organized grandmaster-level experts to dig downwards, reaching tens of thousands of meters, but found no trace of the underground cave.
The underground cave seems to exist in a different dimension than our world.
And the most direct feeling when the underground cave experiences unusual activity is an earthquake.
Caves are not only found in China, but are scattered all over the world.
The great earthquake of 1920 mentioned earlier was caused by the discovery of the third entrance to the underground cave.
In China, 22 entrances to underground caves have been discovered to date.
We humans can only enter the cave from the entrance; we cannot enter from any other place.
The underground cave was not just a primitive society, but a civilization that had developed, a civilization even more powerful than that of humans.
The underground caves also have indigenous inhabitants, but their physical structure and energy levels are different from those of human martial artists.
In the underground world, there are some people and some monsters who are constantly trying to break out of the ground and enter our world.
There was a previous incident where monsters from the underground world surged out of the ground, causing extremely serious damage.
......
Bai Ruoxi kept talking until she paused slightly.
A student in the class asked in a trembling voice, "Teacher, are you saying that there is another world beneath our feet?"
And do living beings and civilizations exist there, and they want to keep entering our world?
Bai Ruoxi shook her head and said, "I don't know. It might not actually be located beneath our feet. Although its entrance and exit are underground, the cave itself might not be underground."
Bai Ruoxi continued, "The underground cave is a complete world, containing all sorts of things: humans, animals, plants..."
Except for the absence of everything modern civilization, it was a newly discovered world.
Fang Ping's expression turned serious as he asked in a deep voice, "Teacher, why would the creatures of the underground world want to rush to the surface? Could it be because the living environment in the underground world is too harsh?"
"no!"
Bai Ruoxi shook her head.
"The term 'subterranean' is actually a name given by humans; in reality, subterranean caves are no different from the normal world."
The environment is even better than the human world; the energy in the air of the underground cave is extremely rich, and the speed of cultivation in the underground cave is even much faster than on the surface.
"But why...?"
"We don't know the specific reasons either. Although we have captured some cave dwellers in recent years, we can't communicate because of the language barrier."
Moreover, the captives were all low-level cave creatures, making it difficult to obtain any useful clues from them.
Fang Ping suddenly remembered something and hurriedly said, "There seemed to be some tremors in Shanghai last night."
Bai Ruoxi's expression changed slightly, and she sighed softly, "That's right, there are underground creatures attacking the underground gate, and each attack causes the ground to shake."
The school has already sent tutors to provide support, and I'm sure you've seen many teachers taking leave today.
"Was it the same thing that happened in Tiannan before?"
"Yes, the cave creatures almost broke through the cave gate that time, so we had to send a large number of warriors to reinforce them."
Even so, martial artists suffered heavy casualties, and ordinary people even more so...
Fang Ping's expression changed, and he hurriedly asked, "Are there ordinary people too?"
Bai Ruoxi's tone became much lower again: "There are ordinary people in the military too. Do you think everyone in the military is a martial artist?"
A large number of ordinary soldiers are stationed outside the dungeon gate and rotated regularly.
The military is different from our Wuhan University. Students at Wuhan University only learn about the existence of the underground cave and how to enter it when they reach the third rank.
Meanwhile, the military warriors had already entered the underground caves to fight when they were not warriors.
In battles between low-ranking martial artists of the same level, the military ranks first, and the martial arts university ranks second. This reputation was earned step by step by the military's martial artists!
Fu Changding, who had remained silent until now, suddenly thought of a question: "Teacher, are the creatures in the caves very powerful?"
"Very strong!"
Bai Ruoxi said solemnly, "Their ordinary troops are all first-rank martial artists, and there are also a great many second- and third-rank martial artists."
There are more people in the mid-grade and high-grade realms than there are humans!
......
After Bai Ruoxi finished explaining the general details of the underground cave.
The entire classroom fell silent.
Everyone is quietly processing this information.
After a moment, Zhao Lei spoke up: "Then, teacher, we'll do as you say."
Previously, only rank 3 martial artists at Wuda were qualified to know about the underground caves. Now that you've told us ahead of time, does that mean the situation is becoming increasingly dire?
Bai Ruoxi said softly, "I don't know either. I'm telling you in advance because it's the school's requirement."
Because you are the elite, the strongest group among the freshmen. Even if you don't know now, you will definitely know when you are a sophomore or junior.
Another reason is the Wuhan University exchange competition. Due to the deteriorating situation in the underground caves, some ordinary Wuhan universities want more resources to train more students.
Resources are limited, which is the background for this exchange competition.
However, the Magic Warriors did not want resources to be shared, so they guarded the entrance to the Magic City Underground Cave.
Similarly, a lot of resources are needed to cultivate students, and your freshman class has become the key point.
I'm telling you this so you know that you must win this exchange competition.
Once you lose, it will become increasingly difficult to cultivate, starting with your freshman year.
"And if the situation in the underground caves continues to deteriorate, to the point where even first and second-rank martial artists have to go down into the caves, the weaker ones will die even faster!"
