Chapter 508: Secret
"Everyone's here!" Joseph wasted no time and immediately began the day's training.
As a powerful instructor, his schedule was always packed. Being able to dedicate two consecutive days to Star Class Three was already a rare luxury.
At least, from what Libra had gathered, Joseph was one of the most diligent instructors at the university.
For Libra and the others, the training intensity of Star Class Three was challenging, pushing them to their limits.
Some tasks were so difficult that even Sophie and Candy couldn't pass. They were geniuses, but they weren't monsters.
For Mike, however, the training was a breeze. He didn't need to ace every test; he just had to put in minimal effort to pass. Most of his scores were around the passing mark, with the occasional failure thrown in as a lesson. Given his D-tier talent, no one was surprised by his performance.
The day's training passed quickly. Afterward, everyone cleaned up and returned to their designated classroom. As their instructor, Joseph began outlining the next phase of their education.
"I have a secret to share with you all," Joseph said mysteriously. "But first, you'll need to sign a non-disclosure agreement."
Joseph's cryptic behavior piqued everyone's curiosity, even Mike's. Could Joseph have some insider information?
Once all five students had signed the NDA, Joseph leaned in and whispered, "The Eighth Demon God is dead!"
Everyone: Wow,cool!
Mike: That's it???
Mike was unimpressed. I not only know the Eighth Demon God is dead, but guess who killed him? Should I write it on my face and tell everyone?
Seeing the shocked reactions of his students, Joseph was pleased. The upheaval in the Seventh and Eighth Abysses was top-secret information, known only to a select few powerful individuals. Joseph was one of them.
Joseph continued, "There are many details I'm not privy to, so don't go digging around for more information."
The students of Star Class Three were all Supreme Being seeds, but their backgrounds were relatively modest. None of them came from particularly outrageous families. In fact, those with truly powerful backgrounds usually started as nine-star Lords.
For example, Kaelum's nephew was a powerful nine-star Lord. Another example was Orion, the top student with an SS-tier talent.
While most people didn't know much about his background, Joseph knew it well. Orion's great-grandfather was from the Starwind family and had been Nathan's best friend. With that kind of lineage, Orion's background was formidable.
After a brief pause, Joseph emphasized, "The important thing is that the Eighth Abyss is now in a state of chaos, with no corps stationed there to maintain order."
Hearing this, the students' eyes lit up. Joseph wouldn't mention the Eighth Abyss for no reason-could it be that their next Abyss internship would take place there?
Previous Abyss internships had been relatively tame, despite appearing dangerous. In reality, they had always been under the protection of powerful human forces, making them incredibly safe.
But now, with the Eighth Abyss in chaos, the risks would be real!
"That's right," Joseph confirmed their suspicions. "Tomorrow, we'll be heading into the Eighth Abyss for the first Abyss internship of the semester."Nôv(el)B\\jnn
However, he quickly added, "But this time, things will be different from what you've experienced before. Your current strength isn't enough to survive in a chaotic Abyss."
In Joseph's opinion, if the students of Star Class Three were thrown into the Eighth Abyss, they wouldn't last half an hour before needing someone to collect their bodies.
Without the suppression of a Demon God, there was no order, no rules. The demon creatures there were capable of anything!
What's more, Joseph had heard rumors that a God had defected from the Temple of Truth and was now lurking in the Eighth Abyss, eyeing the vacant throne of the Eighth Demon God. If they encountered this God, even Joseph wasn't confident he could win, let alone the students.
"For your safety, this Abyss trip will be conducted in a one-on-one format," Joseph explained. "Each of you will be accompanied by a Lord-level protector to ensure your survival and help you complete your training tasks."
That was the gist of it. Each student would have a Lord assigned to them for protection. New York Superpower University had enough Lords to spare for this, with 100 students across the Star and Satellite classes, and 100 Lords to match. The human race had the resources to pull this off.
Behind the scenes, the Ninth Abyss was the closest to the Eighth Abyss, and the Ninth Demon God was a mole planted by the human race. With the Ninth Demon God keeping an eye on things, nothing would go wrong.
After explaining the situation, Joseph dismissed the class, telling them to make their final preparations.
Mike didn't have much to prepare. Officially, the Lord assigned to accompany him into the Eighth Abyss was someone from Guardian Shadow. In reality, Mike would be traveling with
Maxen.
A potential Supreme Being and a Supreme Son rampaging through the Eighth Abyss? Even Poseidon would have to surrender!
Moreover, with his growing strength, Mike now had the power to traverse the Abyss on his own. Even without Maxen, he wouldn't have much to worry about.
After the students left, Joseph pulled a chess piece from his inventory and placed it in front of
him, studying it carefully.
The piece bore a striking resemblance to him.
"George?" Joseph's lips curled into a slight smile as he gazed at the powerful seven-star piece
in his hand, feeling a deep sense of pride.
This was undoubtedly one of the pieces from Thor's recent conquest!
For most people, managing to create a five-star piece on the 35th floor was already an impressive feat. But George was a seven-star piece!
What did that mean? It meant that this piece had played a crucial role in Thor's lineup!
The only thing that puzzled Joseph was the name. Why did it remind him of a certain anime?
Joseph chuckled to himself. "It must have been pretty hopeless to face George as an
opponent."
Though he didn't know why the piece had ended up in his possession, Joseph could feel Thor's
silent gratitude and appreciation.
Everything was understood without words.
Carefully, Joseph put the piece away, letting out a long sigh of contentment.
"Thor! You truly are my kindred spirit!"
